t'cceutrfc Dinner.
The Pari restaurant Lave a wealth
of stories about eccentric diners. Prince
Sekitykoff, according to the gossips,
i accustomed to consult the menus
at two of toe most celebrated bouses,
choosing that which had his favorite
dishes. After dining well Le used to
give the waiter instructions to wake
him in a couple of hours, whereupon
he would drop into a sound sleep, and
hardly move until his time was up.
The Duke of Brunswick was a ' fre-;
quern customer at the bouse which or
ten secured the prince's patronage. Ou
oue occasioait is said, a ISussian com
mitted suicide at a table near where he
was dining. The nobleman consequent
ly sent for the proprietor and bitterly
upbraided him for allowing his diges
tion to be upsrt by so tragic a scene.
It was in the same resturant that
number of gentlemen dined daily for
forty-five years a record which beats
that of the Grand hotel of Indianapo
lis, the proprietor of which says that he
had a boarder who regularly paid his
monthly bill for sixteen years. Loudon

Writer and Lecturer.
Agnes liepplier, the young writer
whose agreeable, not too heavy essays
have found their way into some of the
best periodicals of the country within
the last few years, is a native of Phil
adelphia, and iii the daily papers of
that city she made her first appearance
in print Miss Itepplier is of a thought
ful observant turn of mind and the re
sults of her contemplations of her
fellow beings and their pecularitie3 slie
embodies in pleasant essays instead of
using them for romances, after the
fashion of many of her sister writers.
An ss Repplier is very much admired in
Hoston, and she ascribes much of her
success to encouragement of Mr. T.

An Age of Cushion.
If this ia not an age of cushions,
what is it? In the cozy room of a
country house the other day were
counted twenty-eight cushions, and it
was not a very big room either. The
footstools were great "Toadstool"
cashions perfectly rouud and measuring
seven-eights of a yard across. A long
low divan was simply piled with squat e
cushions covered with amber velveteen;
the window seats held more oblong
and bolster shape and the rest were
scattered loosly, about in the rattan and
rockers and armchairs. And the young
mistress of all this downy softness
called through the long Trench
windows to a visiting friend: "Do
come out on the piazza. I've piled a
half dozen cushions in one hammock
for you and in the other with some
more." Her Poiutof A'ievv in iXew

What Become, ofold Shoes.
Few persons know what becomes of
old shoes or the method iu hieh they
are utilized A few of the, more re
speetable cast off shoes are sometimes
repaired and sold again for a nominal
price and sold to some person w ho is
not fastidious; but as a general rule
they are put to other uses.
Ju France children's shoes are cut
from the larger pieces which are ob
tained by ripping up old boots, but iu
this country as well-as abroad the prac
tice now is to convert the scraps into a
leather pulp, which may be so treated
as to produce a substitute for the real
article, cheap and comparatively worth
less of course.
Of late the manufacture of an artifi
cial leather wall covering, selling under
a high sounding name, makes a market
for ail the worn out boots oud shoes of
the American people, so that in its re
vised form the discarded foot wear of
the most wretched of earth's children
may look down for years upon the.
scenes of splendor such as the forlorn
wearer saw not even in dreams.
There are other uses as well, includ
ing the manufacture of combs, buttons,
knife handles and other articles w hich
are interesting, but of w hich the public
know little Carriage makers, book
binders and picture frame makers con
sume tills artificial leather to a certain
extent for their cheaper grades of work.

How an Edition Was Exhausted.
The deatli. of James Kussell Lowell
n-called an amusing story of the way iu
which he escaed the usual fate of
literary beginners -a financial loss m

cost of publishing Mr.' Lowell's book,

C'.pies. The author felt the usnal pride
in his achievement, and hoped for al
most immediate fame, but only a few
copies of the work were sold.
Soon after, a fire occured iu the pub

stored, mid they were destroyed As
the publisher carried a full insurance

mens, whHi prepare the fertilizing dust,

its own time. In this way the stamens
often mature the pollen in advance of
ttivi needs of the pistil. When the nistil
is mature there is no pollen, and hence
no fertilization ami no crop. The

with choice fruit, they have no value
whatever, and the servey to degrade

not work, bo there is 110 use to attempt
it, to say nothing of the swindle. Use
good cooperage and nothing but the
very best fruit. Take out one head of
the barrel, b eak off the nails Inside
place a layer of bright smooth apples of
uniform she at the bottom, stem down,
then fill up carefully, now nnd then
shaking the barrel, and keep on doing
so until filled two or three inches above
