A BRIDE FROM THE TOMB.
Odd Romance of BenedeIlo MarceIlo,
the Venetian Composer.

the venetian Composer.
Benedello Marcello, one of the most
famous Venetian composers, fell in
love with beautiful girl named Leo
nora Manfrotti, who married Paolo
Seranzo, Venetian noble. She died
short time after her marriage, a vic
tim to the harsh and jealous treatment
of her husband
Her body was laid out in state in
one of the churches, and her lover
actually succeeded in stealing the
corpse and conveying it to a ruined
crypt in one of the islands, and here
he sat day and night by his lost love,
singing and playing to her. as though
by the force Of his art he could recall
her to life.
Leonora had a twin sister, Eliade,
who was so like her that her closest
friends could scarcely distinguish them.
One. day Eliade heard a singer in a
gondola singing so exquisitely that she
traced the gondola to the deserted is
land, and there she learned later the
fate Of her sisters corpse and the iden-
t1ty of Marcello. Aided by servant.
Eliade substituted herself for her SIS
ter's body, and when Marcello returned
and called Leonora to awake he did
not ask in vain, for apparently she rose
alive from the coffin. Marcello when
he found out the delusion was quite
satisfied and married Eliade, but his
happiness was short lived. as he died a

The FIRST TEACuPs.
They Had No Handles, and saucers
Were Used as Covers.

iney had NO Handles, and Saucere
Were Used as Covers.
In the middle of the seventeenth cen
fury tea was introduced into England,
and with it came the Chinese or .'chi-
ma" teacup. Strangely enough, the
men who imported it from the orient
did not themselves understand the
method Of its use
The Chinese put a pinch OF tea into
a large cup without handle, filled it
with boiling water and then inverted
saucer over the receptacle. within
whose rim it closely fitted. The object
was partly to retain the heat, but
chiefly to prevent the escape OF the
fragrance Of the herb, which the Chi
nese found most delicious The infu-
sion was permitted to stand for five
minutes. when it was decanted into
a second cup without a saucer and
daintily slipped.
John Bull, however, emphatically de-
clined to take his tea in Chinese fash
lon. He liked the appearance of the
ornamental ware upon his table, but
he insisted on placing the cup in the
saucer, like a miniature fowerpot, and
used it exclusively to drink from, pre-
pairing the beverage in a common in
stead of an Individual receptacle.
In course Of time England began the
manufacture Of cups and saucers,, and
pictures which have been preserved
from the days Of the Stuarts show big.
f1aring cups, four inches across the top,
with saucers less than three inches in
diameter. By degrees one dwindled
and the other expanded, until in the
middle of the nineteenth century the
opposite extreme was reached, and
fashionable tea services had cups only
an inch and half in diameter, accom-
panied by five inch saucers.
The handle of the teacup came from
Mediterranean lands. Originally it
was made of thick and strong earth
enware and applied to heavy jars and
lamps. Its decorative possibilities pop
ularized it with Greek and Roman pot
tiers, who extended it's use to small
amphorae and 1agons; but, as the word
"amphora'' indicates, the handle was
double. Single handles crept into use
by slow degrees and were probably ap-
Piled to drinking cups about the time
that coffee came into vogue in south
ern Europe, the beverage being taken
almost at the boiling point, so that
some device for lifting the cup without
burning the fingers was found desira-

War is Not Necessary.

Whatever may be said of the watch

that thus far the president admira-
bly,, succeeded in keeping this coun-
try from war with Mexico, in spite
of all the pressure exerted by lot Of
unscrupulous business spectators,
in possession of valuable lands in
that country, granted them by just
as INSCRIPTIONS officials for a mere
bagatelle as consideration. Why
should we wage war against any
country to protect the jllegitimate
holdings of millionaire spectators?
