Margaret May in Cape Cod Tunes. One Kind of Selflnhness. There are many phases of selfishness and TKjrhaiH the most trying of the various manifestations of this fanlt of faults is not recognized under this name at all. What is called sensitiveness, however, is very often nothing but sel fishness pure and simple a morbid, miserable form, too making the person herself and every one around her un comfortable. A frank, generous, unsel fish nature is not forever on the lookout for slights and unkindnesses on the part of others. What can be more trying than a person who is continually having her feelings hurt, who magnifies every hasty, unintentional word into a griev ance, brooding thereon until it assumes exaggerated proportions? What can be more distinctly, morbidly selfish and self seeking than such a dis position? Yet people of that tempera ment seldom if ever properly diagnose their troubles, but if they are honest they must acknowledge that they are continually thinking of themselves and of the relations of others to them. These people are generally well meaning and easy to please, not realizing that they are not living for others but onlj for themselves by thus indulging their "feelings" and hyiierseusitiveness. New York Tribune. Mirrors Made of Wood. In Germany wood with a mirror pol ish is coming into use as a substitute for metal in the finishing of ornamental work. In order to make the wood sus ceptible to a polish of this order it must first lye submitted to a bath of caustic alkali for two days, the bath being kept at a temperature of 175 degs. Fahr. all the while. Next it is soaked in a solu tion of hydrosulphate of calcium for from twenty-four to thirty-nine hours. The third dip is into a bath of concen trated solution of sulphur. The final dip is into a solution of acetate of lead at a temperature of 100 degs. After being thoroughly dried the wood is ready to have the metallic surface imparted to it, which is done by giving it a rubbing with finely powdered lead, tin or zinc. Wood treated in the above manner, it is said, will take a polish al most equal to that so often imparted to steel, silver or nickel. St. Louis Re public. Culture In Itoston. "Is it," wondered a New York woman just returned from Boston, "because of the use of the sounds of a and o' which we are accustomed to associate with cul tivated speech that Boston saleswomen seem such refined and attractive per sons? They seem a race of gentlewom en, and it was a positive pleasure to be served by them. I noticed also that their hands and nails were beautifully kept, and many of them really did wear eye glasses. As to that, however, I got in two different horse cars whose drivers had a very scholarly look from the same cause, and a sign osted conspicuously on Boston Common read, 'Professor Brown, Artistic Bootblack.' I begin to lelieve the stories of the culture of the masses in Boston." New York Times. Character Shown in Thumbs. There is as much character in the thumbs of people as in their faces. A long first joint of the thumb indicates will jKJwer; a long second joint indicates strong logical or reasoning power; a wide, thick thumb indicates strong indi viduality, while a broad nob at the end of the thumb is a sure indication of ob stinacy. The thumb is the character istic feature of the human hand, a char acteristic in which it differs from the hand of the monkey, and of all parts of the liand no one is so strongly individual or telltale as the thumb. St. Louis Globe-Democrat. The Arabs, when they wish to pro nounce their most forcible malediction, say, "May thy soul know no more rest than the hat on the head of a Eurojean!" The hats of kings and emperors must have been specially in their minds when they framed this curse. William Kiustoue, an Englishman, kept his own accounts, shaved and dressed himself, saddled and bridled his horse, threw sledge hammers and did other see?iihigly impossible things with his toes. Careful investigations show that in ordinary flames charged with common salt the yellowness is due to too free metallic sodium and not to thetiudecom lsed molecules of chloride of sodium. Who knows that the time may not yet come when 'sm.ill lioys in this country will gobble sunflower seeds at the circus just as they now consume the festive and odoriferous goolter? There are -opie who claii:i to love the Lord who would apologize to the devil if they thought they were in his way. Womiu'i Ways. Women have their own ways of keep ing their consciences clear and their minds freed from all nncharitableness. One woman when she encounters a dis agreeable tierson goes off into a corner and counts off on her fingers the agree able iMHjple she ki.ows. This she. does not in effect, but literally as she might tell her "neads, and site keeps on doing jt until the image of the disagreeable mi? is effaced. Another woman in the presence of mi unusually annoying circumstance was observed' to unhook and rehook h-.-c gown. The rebooking miscarried sev eral times to tier great impatience. She was asked w by then had sho unhooked it. Her answer was that hooks and eyes were the most disagreeable things ever invented. One always began to hook them in the middle, and the chances were ten to one that you linked the wrong iair. But this you did not know until you were half through and one side came out ahead. So with, that, and the strain upon your fingers, you were naturally exasperated, and as they were only hooks and eyes it didn't much matter what you said. With the chance to free your mind other disagreeable things seemed almost pleasant. It will be observed that it occurred to neither of these women, who were both religious, to fall on their knees and ask in the old fashioned way to be delivered from anger and ill feeling. This was not because they distrusted the efficacy of this method, but simply because they hadn't at the moment, and seldom had, the time or place. Also, both being sci entific minded the one knew that in thought as in physics two beings cannot occupy the same space at the same time, and so pried out one thought with an other; while the'other, by simply trans muting her angry force from an incor poreal offense to hooks and eyes, had the relief of its expenditure without its sin. New York Evening Sun. Such a Romantic Affair. . She was a convalescent from la grippe, and as she leaned back iu the depths of her easy chair she played with the roses in her lap, which had been brought her by the first caller she had been able to receive, and smiled over some stories he was telling her of a summer at well, we'll only say at a certain fashionable watering place on Narragansett bay. "One of the beauties whom I used to see at the casino," said he, "was a young married belle about twenty-three or four, 1 should think, and her husband was about sixty, and it was great fun watching them. There was such a good story, bona fide truth it was, too. about their engagement. He called at her home one evening and offered his heart, hand and fortune iu correct style. Pretty Miss Bud said she 'must ask mamma,' and coyly tripped up stairs to mamma, who told her that every girl did not get such a chance as that, and of course she was to accept him. "Down she went, picturing the ardent lover awaiting her return with anxious, throbbing heart and found the old gen tleman comfortably asleep in the big gest armchair, while an occasional snore attested to the depth of his slumbers." "I hope she didn't wake the poor old thing up," said the convalescent, -when she got her breath again after her laugh. "Oh, yes she did. Catch her losing that chance! She woke him up and told him it was all right and she'd have him." Boston Saturday Gazette. Thackeray's Ileal I am. Thackeray is verily as great a realist as a great artist can be. He prides him self On presenting life as it is, unseas oned by the hot spices of artificial ro mance. Nay, he employs devices to en trap thp credulity of the reader the de vice, for example, of making Arthur Pendennis. whom we know independ ently, tell the story of his young friend Clive Newcome, and the noble, meek hearted gentleman with whom he had seen the boy at the Cave of Harmony. Yes, Thackeray is a great realist, if ever there was one. His characters are no decorative figments to amuse our fancy. They have become some of the men and women we kuow best personal friends or foes of our own. It consoles us for living in these late days of a re formed parliament that we have lived late enough to have known Colonel New come. They were no tears of unreal sentiment that we wept over his martyr dom; it was a very genuine itch we felt to kick Barnes. Blackwood's Magazine. The Necessity of the Times. Inventive faculty will not have reached high tide until some one per fects an envelope flap warranted to stick. One of the considerable discom forts of life takes the form of a non adhesive mucilage that allows the en velope upon which it is placed to ieel open again and again as it is pressed down, until in a tine frenzy the letter writer is driven hither and yon for real mucilage. And the finer the quality of the stationery the more trials lie in the wake of the envelope. If they are trusted to the mails with out an extra dab of mucilage, they may be depended upon to arrive at their des tination invitingly open or accessible to the sueakish individual, who in spite of our civilization does exist, who is ca pable of going against all written and unwritten laws and tampering with a seal. A padlocked envelope is one of the necessities of the times. Boston Commonwealth. The Value of Pearl. Nothing varies so much in value as pearls. With them fashion affects the market constantly. Sometimes white ones are sought, while other tints at in tervals are in demand. For some years past black jiearls have been the rage. A tine specimen, worth $600, will fetch $ 1,000 perhaps if another can be got to match it perfectly. Kansas City Times. When tt IJuy Shoes.
