PrOpriety and Clothes.

The ladies of Lamu surpass those Of
all other nations in retiring modesty,
for they not only hide their faces, but
walk about under a small tent, which
requires the assistance of a servant to
carry it. 1t is not surprising to hear
that they have very bad reputation
for propriety, for in Africa female re-
spectability is in inverse ration to the

at Royal academy dinner in Lon
don on one occasion several artists
were expressing their enthusiasm
about Titan. Carlyle and Thackeray
were among the guests.
''His glorious coloring is q fact about
Titian," said one man, striking the ia
BILE to give emphasis to the remark.
"And his glorious drawing is another
fact about Titian!' cried another artist.
And so they went on until Carlyle,
who had been listening in silence to
their rhapsodies interrupted them by
saying, with a slow deliberation which
had it's own impressive emphasis:
''And here l sit, man made in the
image Of God, who knows nothing
about Titan and cares nothing about
Titan, and that's another fact about
Titan"
Thackeray was slipping claret at the
moment. He paused and bowed cour-
teously to Carlyle. Pardon me-" he
said; that appears to me to be not a
fact about Titan, but a fact, and a
lamentable one, about Carlyle"

 The New YPrk law declares that no child under fourteen shall work for hire, and noA child between fourteen and sixteen who cannot read and write simple senteRces in the English lan- guage, and sfAow that he has attended school one halndred and thirty days during the prsvious year; he must be of normal height and development, and his day is limited to nine hours. It is a just law-gopd for the present indus trial conditions, however the future may improve lon it. In the mills and factories it caf be more or less rigor- ously enforcedI but there is a vast field of child labora at home that this law does not and clan not touch. As things are, there is no help. So long as the law licenses the tenements for manu- fracture and sb allows the mother to bring the work home the children will help her. Fifty thousand inspectors could not patfol the tenements suffi- cientiy to prev ent. this; if it were tried, some small sentry would always sound
 the note of warning, and the official, on his arrival, would find only the mother working, while the little children would be playing innocently upon the floor. According to Dr. A. s. Daniel, who has been for many years worker
 among the East Side poor, the remedy must be drastic-forbid the manufac- turer to have any part of his work done done in tenement house. With all this manufacturing transferred to

WORSHIP OF THE BABY.

The Growing Extravaganza of Chisten-
 ing Gifts-Jewels and Checks.
 The very latest baptismal gift is a triumph of the goldsmith's art It Is a litle baby clad in swaddling clothes which are chiselled in pure gold. Gold of different colors is used, and the me tai is here furnished, there left dull, here repousse, there indented, so that such details as the lace on the little cap and the nails on the tiny fingers are most realistically simulated. As an ornament this is production worth any baby's acceptance, to be kept be- hind glass in a cabinet of gems, or to be worn pendant from a chain,
 Another type of christening gift that pleases boys and girls alike is nurs- cry basket equipment of silver topped toilet appliances. Infants are very lavish in the cosmetics they use; hence boxes as well as bottles of several sizes to hold the special brand of dust ing powder preferred figure in the lace and satin covered baskets that are placed by their nurses side when the bath is administered.
 Moreover, whether prematurely bald or not, each child must possess Its silver backed brush, for which req son one or more must be added to the list of necessaries. Combs are super fiuous
 The most beautiful christening toilet sets are fitted with dark and bright silver lids and backs, showing the famous cherub portraits of Sir Joshua Reynolds exquisitely chiselled.
 Her Majesty the Qeen set the fashion of giving jewelry to her godchildren, and thereby dispersed the old custom of presenting more commonplace of- ferings. One of the favorite gems it is her pleasure to bestow is the amethyst which belongs by right to February child. October babies should be given the opal, for all beings born during this month are immune from misfor- tune that is supposed by the supersti- tious to attend that beautiful gem and indeed are held to profit by its near proximity.
 Cheques are now figuring in the list of presents, and lace robes, clokes and 'headgear are also acceptable. But ii should be remembered that unless the boy baby is infinitesimally small and young he must not be insulted by a bonnet, but must be given turban tc befit his sex.-London Mail.

emerald or amethyst very difficult to distinguish from the genuine stone.
 Every oneis familiar with the pretty strings of imitation pearls which can now be purchased everywhere. These are usually made of opaline glass, treated carefully with hydrofuoric acid, and it would not occur to any one to attempt to pass them off as anything else. Very good limitations of the gen. uine pearl are made from mother-of- pearl also. This material is turned to the required shape and polished beau tifully, when it has an appearance very similar to that of the genuine article, though an expert can readily distin- guish the imitation pearl from the real one.
 Ever since the seventeenth century beautiful beads closely resembling the finest Indian pearls have been manu- factured Glass beads of the required f pattern are first made. They are then coated inside with a material made 1 from fish scales and having the lustre of the genuine pearl. The beads are then filled up with wax. These beauti- full imitation pearls are by no means cheap, however. This is not surpris- 1 ing, when we learn that it takes 2O,00O
 fishes to yield one pound of the silvery white material which is used to produce the necessary pearl-like lustre.

PECULIAR WAYS OF THE RESI-
 DENTS OF PERU.


 'In Huantar lodged as the guest of the governor, or 'gobernador, and pet ty authority of the place." writes traveller in Peru. T there observed the method by which the Indians make their complaints or state the case in any question they may have to lay be- fore him. Before themselves they ar range the formula in which the plant is to be delivered, concocting certain | phrases which they deliver, all speaking at the same time, the same words, in a monotone reiterating the phrases with out any pause, this is the 'Quichwa dialect and it lasts some ten or fifteen minutes, during which the gobernadorf listens patiently and judicially and then announces his decision.
 For example," the same writer con- tinues, the compliments may have come to supplcate for the release Of some friend or relative who has been confined in jail for some petty theft or midemeanor and the plaint may take this form: "Tete Gather, permit that our dear relative be released; tete etc, ad infinitum If any one of them fails to perform his part In the chorus, or has done it perfunctorily the rest, upon leaving the presence of the auth ority fall upon him and thrash him soundly with sticks, saying Thou hast not fulfilled thy part; thou art useless, | That day on which I visited the | church of Huantar was some saints { day and the building was filled with vegetables and earthen pots of 'chicha, the native drink made from maize. I These were not, however, presented as a harvest thanksgiving, but were placed there in order that the spirits of the departed might not suffer hun ] ger and really, in the belief of the donors, the eomestibles were to satisfy the hunger of their relative who had died, wherever they might be imagined to be at the time
 T met one old Indian woman as I left the building, staggering under the i weight of an enormous earthen jar of 1 this beverage -chicha. To my question she replied, in broken Spanish that her 1 beloved husband had been fond of chi cha during his life, and that she feared he might be in need of the same refreshment now!'
