Tho First Taacuns.

Even after tea was introduced into
Europe and had come into general use
teacups were scarce. At the same time
coffee was introduced; but, apart from
Constantinople, the first coffee cups in
Europe date back only as far as 1916
in Venice, 1859 in Paris, 1852 in Lon
don and 1894 in Leipsic. From the
first, however, the conventional orien-
tai coffee cup, without stem or handle,
was little used, and In Germany not at
all. The Chinese teacup was used for
tea, coffee and chocolate as well. Speci-
mems of porcelain were undoubtedly
introduced into Europe in the middle
ages, yet not till the sixteenth century
were cups imported from China in any
great quantities, and even then it was
as articles of vertu. Most of those
found their way back into China again,
as collecting porcelain is lasting fad
there, and high prices are paid for
good specimens. The collection of
Chinese porcelain, If only the genuine
specimens are desired, requires i'm
mense study and knowledge, as the
Chinese are skillful imitators and put
numerous falsifcations on the market.

Tho Mysterious Passenger.

The captain Of vessel which was
bringing to America in the fall Of 1896
mysterious passenger who had come
aboard at Hamburg watched the latter
so closely that at last the passenger
said one day: "Sir, this Is not the first
occasion upon which have observed
the attentive scrutiny you bestow up
OH me. May inquire the reason?
"Sir,' responded the candid captain,
"you took passage Oh my ship as
Dane. don't believe you're anything
Of the kind.
The passenger smiled. The smile
was full Of perspicacity and confidence
and was followed with. Pray tell me,
then, what you believe me to be-"
At this question Captain Ewing
fldgeted, hesitated and finally blurted
out: "Well, to be honest, think you
are a gambler. You've well nigh
ruined yourself at home and are now
coming to fleece the fools you'll find on
shore"
The young mans smile broadened
The next minute he turned grave
again, lowered his voice and replied:
captain Ewing, as you have studied
me during this voyage, so / have
studied you l have come to the con-
clusion that you are man to be
trusted. am Louis Philippe, due
d'Orleans, eldest son of that Louis
Philippe d'Orleans who was slain by
the guillotine on the 7th of Novem-
Der, almost three years ago."

Mary will have to be asked to play
when she goes out in society. A proud
mamma will attend to that. And Mary
will play with faithful accuracy some
thing from Chopin or Beethoven or
Mendelssohn, and the young people
will watch her chubby fingers thought
fully and wonder when the selection
will come to an end. They will ap-
plaud, too-when the end is reached
for that is good manners, and every
body likes Mary. anyhow. And then
well, Lucy Smith, who has never taken
lessons, will rollick up to the piano
and begin coon song, hands and feet
will beat time all over the room, half
the listeners will hum the refrain,
everybody will see the difference be.

A Misunderstood Jest.

Lord Lytton when viceroy Of India
was seated one day at dinner next to
lady whose name was Birch and
who, though very good looking, was
not overintelligent Said she to his
excellency:.
Are you acquainted with any of the
Birches?
"Oh, yes!' replied Lord Lytton. IT
knew several of them most intimately
while at Eton-indeed, more intimate
~ than I cared to-"
my lord" replied the lady, you
forget the Birches are relatives Of
NINE"
"And they cut me-" said the viceroy,
''but," and he smiled his wonted smile,
81 have never felt more inclined to
kiss the rod than do now.''
Sad to say, Mrs Birch did not see
the point and told her husband his ex-
cellency had insulted her.
