TH.U UittAHA DAJ.L.X . , OiNJL > AY , WOMEN WHO LOST CROWNS , Napoleon the Great Once Rejected by a Wealthy Widow. GALLED HIM A LITTLE HORROR , General licrnndottc IloJcctiHl by n Beautiful Girl Who \VIIH n Decre pit DruilKO When Ho lie- came Swotlcn'tt King. Early in his career the grctvtNnpolcon /ell In with tin ardent revolutionist , M. Paul Fraficois Hurras , who took a great liking to the young Corslean , and con ceived the highest opinion of his abili ties and the powers which events proved ho possessed in so remarkable a degree. Dut in the opinion of Hurras , Napoleon's want of means was the most borious ob- btaule to his chance of achieving fame , and ho proposed to remedy this by be- Iceting for Him tv rich wife. Hurras chose for this position a wo man who , though still undeniably hand- Koine was no longer young , cays n writer In Chamber's Journal. Though she was called Mile. Montansior , she was in real ity a widow , who , because she had been on the Btngo , had never accepted the name of her husband. She was sixty yearn of ago , but it was Biiid that she had made herself appear to bo not more than forty by the intimate knowledge that she possessed of the se crets of the toilet table. To introduce Napoleon and Mile. Mon- tnnsier , Hurras gave ti supper to which they were both invited. lie so arranged matters that they were placed together nt the table , and hoped that this precau tion , added to the injunction Which ho had given Napoleon to behave for once in his life with some show of civility ton lady , would huvo the happiest result. " Napoleon was quite the last man to rely upon in such a respect. His man ners towards the fair sex were those of a costermonger , and though ho could gen erally hold liis own in a conversation with men , ho was entirely without the knack of making himself interesting or agreeable to women. lie felt that his place was in the camper or the field , and bo was quite out of his clement among the conventionalities of 11 salon. Had ho been inclined to woo , it would have been in a straightforward , 6oldioi-llko fashion , not with the daily- ings and compliments so dear to the French women of his time. So presently Harms had the mortifica tion of seeing Mile. Montnnsior , her back turned to Napoleon , engaging in a lively conversation with the gentleman on her other side , while the future con queror was making , with little pellets of bread , a plan of battle on the table be fore him. Hardly a word passed between the two during the remainder of the meal. Supper over Hurras drew Napoleon aside and spoke forcibly to him of the foolish way In which ho was throwing over his chances. "Yon know , " said ho , ' 'that money is everything to you ; hero are 1,000,000 francs , and you will not stretch out your hand to take them ; a most attractive woman , and you will not show her the smallest gallantry. Mile. Montansior lias come hero this evening prepared to hear tv declaration from you. Strike J while the iron is hot , and win the wealth that you cannot do without at one bold stroke. " "Tho woman is old enough to bo my grandmother , " said Napoleon , who was then twenty-live years old ; "but that is no matter , for to mo all women are alike. Money is what I want , and if I cannot get it without a wife , 1 must take the two together. I am no coiner of pretty speeches , but before the evening is over I will say to her , 'Mademoiselle , are you willing to accept mo as your husband' ) " More than that I cannot do. " "Tho very kind of proposal that any woman would expect from a blunt toldior , " replied Hurras. "Say that , and I desire no more. You are to bo envied , for , besides her wealth , made moiselle is very handsome still. " Napoleon turned away with tv gesture of Impatience ; but half an hour later Hurras noticed Jlmt the two were tilono together in a recess. Presently Nnpol- con K"t up and went away , and the lady = . beckoned to Hurras with her fan. "Take away that dreadful little man , " she said with a shudder ; "ho has bored mo to death , and I only prevented him from proposing by bending him for a glass of lemonade. " "Hut why prevent himV" said Hurras , "lie will bo a tfreat man yet. " "Give mysell and my money to such tv little horror , such an ill-mannered boor as that ? " replied mademoiselle. "Never ! 1 would sooner take the first beggar in the streets. What have I done that 1 should bo given such tv wretched evenIng - Ing ? Don't lot your " Hut at this moment she was checked by the arrival of Napoleon with the lemonade. Harms hurried away , still hoping for the best ; but soon ho saw at the other end of the room Honaparto standing In the attitude in which ho has KO often been depicted , with his arms folded and his chin sunk upon them. "Well , are you to bo married ? " ho eaid , hastening toward his protege. "That old actress , " stud Napoleon , "that female C'ru-sus , refused mo before 1 hud opened my mouth to ask her hand. 1 was on the point of speaking , as I told you 1 should speak , when she began to inform mo that hot- wealth was the ctuii-o of her constantly receiving oITors from adventurers who cared nothing for herself , that who thanked providence that she had so far seen through sueh follows , and that she was resolved to keep her Independence. I was glad I had not spoken , for It gave mo the op- "portuuity of saying : 'ISIadtunoifcollo.pray porKovoro In that praiseworthy inten tion ; it IK one which I am sure no ono will ever try to jiermmdo you to alter. ' Lot her keep nor millioim to bait the hook for Koine one else. I have done with her. " In after days Mile. Montansior was fond of boasting that , had she chosen , Bho might have been empress of Franco and WHO of the most famous man of the n go- When the people of Grenoble in 1788 were preparing for the revolution , Jean liuptirito liernadotte , afterwards king of Sweden and Norway , was quartered In the town. At that time he was a blmplu sergeant , distinguished by the attention ho paid to liis military dut'cH ' , his hklll tit cards , and by hln popularity with the fair tiux. On the famous "Day of the Tiles , " when the women of O'-enoblo mounted on to the roofs and availed thu troops with a Htorm of tiles Uernadotto was with his regiment in thu Ituo I'orluUtoro. There were erlos from one housetop to another to spare thu popular sergeant ; but , in spite of the good intentions of the assailants , ho received a blow on thu head which stretched him apparently lifeless on the ground. But presently ho bhowed Bomo signs of life , and was car ried Into n neighboring cafe , where ho was laid upon a table , which Is shown to this day. A surgeon was called , and the iiinu bhowed much signs of vi tality under his treatment that It was soon evident that ho was preserved for seine other fate than that of Pyrrhus. As ho recovered his senses , Bernadotto slowly raised himself on one elbow , and , looking at the faccscrowdcd In the door , way , was attracted by ono , that of a beautiful young glrlwhoso big blue eyes were suffused with tears of pity for him. But faintness overcame him , and when he again recovered the sympathizing face was gone. Bernadotto was not long in getting over the effects of the blow that had prostrated him , and when ho was quite recovered ho losl no time in endeavor ing to find the maiden whoso face ho re- mcmborcd like that of bomo pitying angel. For weeks his search was In vain , but ono day , as ho was walking along and trying In vain to persuade himself of the futility of the search , he rtilbcd his eyes , and there before him was the face which hud haunted him for so long. The girl walked past him with out recognizing the wounded sergeant of the "Day of the Tiles. " IIo followed her , and entering her homo mtide himself known to her parent ; ! and olTored him self as a candidate for the hand of their daughter. At first fair Amelia wns well enough pleased to receive the attention of the binart young soldier , but after a while a rival suitor appeared on the t-cone , and , as bo was the owner of a watch-making eMnblirihmcnt that yielded a comfortable income , Ills protestations of love sounded sweeter to her ears than those of the pen niless bous-olllcer. At IttHl the day came when Bernadotto was met on the threshold by hermother , wlio informed him that Amelia had the evening before betrothed herself to the watchmaker. His fury know no bounds , and rushing from the'house he sought his rival and challenged him to a duel. The civilian was no coward , and they met the btimo evening ; but the watchmaker was no match for Bernadotto , who wtis consid ered one of the crack swordsmen of his regiment , and after the exchange of a. few passes he fell with a severe wound in hi.s side. The victorious soldier hoped that now Amelio would listen to his buitbul when ho told lierwhuthadhappenedsho railed al him as Iho murder of her lover , and told him never to let her see his face again. In six weeks' time she became the bride of the man who had braved death for her bake , and soon afterward Bornudotle left Grenoble and began the career thai landed him on tlio throne. When ho was occupying a palace and directing the affairs of the nation , his old love , Amclie , was a wrinkled , de crepit old woman , the general drudge of a wavside inn. Iiriiealth had come upon her husband , and though she had struggled bravely to lido over the bid : times by taking in washing , she had not been able to make headway against the evil fortune which pursued them. Her husband died , and she stink lo Iho lowesl level of despond ency. Amelio was fond of repealing Iho story of her earlier days and used to say : "Ah , Kir , 1 should have done much better in marrying M. Bernadotte. Ah ! I made ti sad mistake , for I assure , you , sir , that M. Bernndolte was no common man , and I always had a presentiment that ho would distinguish himself. But when wo are young we do not reflect , though I do not think that many can have been punished for their thought lessness by the loss of a kingdom. " All remembrance of her husband's de votion seemed lo have been driven from the woman's head by brooding over the grand position she might have occupied had she refused him. When asked if she ever heard from him she replied : "No , sir. I have written to him sev eral times wince ho became a king , but lie has never answered my letters. Per haps he is still annoyed at my having refused him. " What an illustration of the workings of fntol The woman who might htivo shared Bernardotto's throne longing for his washing , and prevented from obtain ing even this by her extreme poverty.

An Informal Visit to a lirldo in Prep aration. Upstairs , in a little tiny room , some of the usual sweet hot tea was prepared for us by three radiant negressos , the bridegroom's mother and ti'in's. \Vo went down again and were intro duced in Iho other open room , filled likcwisowithsquatting women , this time friends and relatiods , some old , some young , but mainly of that indefinable ago , vacant , weary , worn out , says tv writer in the New Review. At either end of the room was a bed in the alcove ; the curtains of ono of them were raised , and wo were admitted to pre = ent our compliments and our silk kerchiefs lo the brido. On the bed , as on a little stage , nnd surrounded by two or three other women wit the little bride , a charming , pretty young creature of twelve or thirteen. She sat wilh her embroidered vest and muslins spread out , the hands folded , her face elaborately painted under the eyes , above the eyebrows , and with a largo black patch in the middle of a del icate rouged cheek absolutely motion less , scarcely raisi'.ig her heavy black eyelashes , and faintly smiling on us. 'With her halo of gauze , her shimmer of gold embroidery , beads and borrowed jewels , she looked even more like a miraculous Madonna than Mine. Hasan , or like some wonderful enchanted prin cess in a pantomino. They explained that she was not yet completely dressed , us the woman who was to paint her up had only just come. Accordingly wo withdrew. The curtain wns withdrawn from the boil , the woman seutoil on it drew n little tlo to the sides , and the bride was ills- played in her glory. She stit there , her leps folded under her , her hands folded in her lap , her head a very little inclined , like tlio the figures of liuddlia. A perfect breast- jilato of jewels , strings on strings of beads , gold and ixmrls , glittered over her vest ; n long , uolleato white veil was spread over her baelc niul shoulders ; on her head she were a hitjb tiara of shin ing embroidery , stones'Tind tinsel ; and , strangest of all , upon her checks were painted two elaborate triangular pat terns of red , black and yellow , like n piece of chintz. The was no longer the inoro miracu lous Madonna , who , after all , had some thing human about her ; and us wo turned tuvay , through the twilight which lllled the white court , and the chanting and drumming and cymbal clashing became fainter , 1 felt as it I had boon admitted to t-eo bouio mysterious half-living idol of India.

GREW ELOQUENT ON TERRAPIN How Heverdy Johnson Once Interested the Imperturbable Lord Brougham , TEE SIOUX BADLY OUTWITTED. A Good Story General Crook Used to Toll Kev. SnviiKO nntl the Pretty Girl AV. H. Gilbert's Quick AVIt. Itovcrdy Johnson % as ono of the few men that ever made Lord Brougham listen with any degree of genuine inter est , says the Hoslon Globe Ills lord ship's companions have complained that whenever ho was not talking ho was thinking of something to talk about. It was at a dinner given by the great Marylandei1 in London that ho caught the elusive attention of the self-absorbed carl. They had got down to canvasback - back ducks from Chesapeake bay. lie ventured to say to Johnson that ho doubted not that they were then enjoy ing the fairest products of the states. "Oh , no1 ! answered the proud Amer ican. " \\re have something far superior to that which I have spread before you tonight. ' ' His lordship was astonished , and in quired , "What might that be ? " "C'he&ipcako terrapin , " answered Mr. Jolm on. He saw then that ho had stirred the curiosity of Ills company , and so ho pro ceeded to gratify it under the rare in spiration of Lord Hrougham's attentive- ness. In a graphic speech ho went down into the mud for the hibernating quadruped , washed its shell and then boiled it. Ho pictured with blood-curdling vivid ness the way the terrapin would respond to the constantly increasing temperature of the water by stretching forth its long , ugly head and searching , seemingly , for some means of escape. Next the listen ing guests saw the shell llotit elf and the scalding process begin in deadly earnest. Then the cook in the lively picture deftly removed the claws and the gall , which disposed of hair the bulk in tlio pot. Tlio precious remainder next en tered upon the stowing process in another vessel. At last the terrapin , re duced to sweet strings nnd juicy par ticles , was turned into a great chafing dish and carried to the dining room , where wailing company saw it placed before the hoslcss , in tin old-time lace cap and wonderfully embroidered apron. Tlio little lamp beneath the dish was then lighted. In a few moments the guardian angel began Iho seasonings , with a sprinkle of this , a dash of that , and a generous pour of some venerable Madeira. About this time the English lips smacked , and Lord Brougham , who had listened eagerly , exclaimed : "That is oloquencol" F. S. Lusk , who hails from Wyoming and is slopping at the Grand Pacific , does not think much of the proposition to add a company of Indians to the United States army , says the Chicago Tribune. lie declares that Iho Indians can'l light. "General Crook , " said Mr. Lusk , "used to toll a story about an old scout and some Sioux Indians showing how the red men were outwitted. "General Crook and a party were rid ing along a spur of the Black Ilills ono day , some twelve. years ago , when down on the plain they caught sight of four mounted Sioux chasing a white man who was astride a mulo. After gelling prelly close to the white man tlio foremost In dian fired n shot , at which the man and mule dropped. Then the Indians pressed forward , polling like demons. "Suddenly redskins and ponies began to fall. By the time General Crook and his party reached the plain all the red men wore down , and the old scout was laughing like a lunatic. " 'That's great 1' said the scout. 'To think thai them cunning Sioux should befooled fooled by such tin old trick. ' "Three dead Indians lay on the ground , Iho fourth was dying. The scout went over to the chap about lo leave for Iho happy hunting ground and asked : " 'Say , red , did you over sec a while man afore ? ' " 'Lots of 'em , ' gasped the bravo. " 'Didn't ycr never hear o' that old Iriek'r" " 'Isn't the pale face wounded ? ' asked the dying warrior. " 'Not a bit. ' replied the Bcout. . 'Ycr didn't come within a milo of mo. I joss gave the old mule the hunch to squat , and down ho squat. 'Twas jess lo draw ycr on. Your ptirds are dead and you won't live long. I hate like the old scratch to hurt a dyin' Injun's feeling , but it was enough to kill to see you ducks open ycr eyes when I began to pop. Fun niest thing I over ncen. ' "The Indian gazed tit the old scout for a few moments , put his hands to his forehead as is in deep thought , then closed his eyes and died. " I saw Minot J. Savage , the well-known clergyman , on Broadway the other after noon. IIo htibn't changed ono iota in the last Ion years , and is just the same jovial , joke-loving man ho always was. I recall a litllo incident thai occurred some years ago that shows Mr. Savage's inordinate love of fun , says the Now York Star's ' .Man About Town. " II was al ono of the church of the Trinity's fortnightly entertainments. Mr. Savage was sitting on a lounge , watching Iho young people dance , when an elderly female , who evi dently had a yearning fondness for cler gyman and a highly developed sense of propriety , sidled up and said ; "O , Mr. Savage , do you approve of round danc ing ? " "Yes , " said Mr. Savage , "I do , though I must confess I prefer lo do my waltzing silling quietly with a pretty girl in an out-of-the-way corner , " and ho custa languishing glance al Iho clergy loving old lady that bent her hurrying away with an exclamation of horror , IIo then turned to mo and stud : "You see , my dear fellow ; there's a way of silencing any woman if ono can only learn It , " W. S. Gilbert Is remarkably quick at repartee , and numerous stories are re lated illustrating his aptness at retort , says the Chicago Tribune. Ono evening as Gilborl was leaving a party , and was standing in the vestibule waiting for his carriage , a snobbish young nobleman emerged from the house and mistaking him for a footman , said sharply ; "Cull four-wheeler.1' mo a - . Gilborl calmly adjusted a single eyeglass - glass in hlb eye , and surveying his loVd- ship replied blandly : "You're a four-wheeler. " The young nobleman bpluttored and wanted to know what ho meant. Gilbert "You told mo to call you a four- wheeler. I couldn't call you hansom , you know. " On another occasion , when seated in a club dining-room , Gilbert was approached preached by tv person who said : "Have you seen hero this morning a man with ono eye called Joncsy Gilbert answered in his drawling way : "What was the name of hlb other eye ? " At ono time there wore two American attractions nt London theaters. Thnso were Nat Goodwin and a play by uiJJ late Hartley Campbell. The public Ig- norcd Goodwin but gecnfcd to enjoy the play by Campbell and this moved Gil bert to remark that hti thought It was "Straining at a Nat inid swallowing tv Campbell. ' "Did I over toll you how I gained my first client ? " Senator 0. K. Davis of Minnesota asked mo the other evening , says the New York Star 0 "Man About Town. " "No ? Well' ' , it's too good a story to keep , so hero you are. Away back in eighteen hundred and sever u few yes , that's definite enough I wa trying to practice law In a little town In northern Now York. It was long be fore the day of corporations and their natural sequence , corporation lawvors , and young men had to hustle for them selves , and a mean. Inactive kind of hustling it was. Well , my shingle had been out about six months and I had been the busiest man doing nothing you can Imagine. I began to bo dis couraged. One day It was a 3d of May a man did appear In my olllco and In formed mo that ho was tv stranger and , needing legal advice , had applied to the local judge , who had told him to come to mo , as it was' well-known fact that I had never lost a suit. I was staggered for a moment , but came to time like n little man , and admitted ho had heard truly. I had never lost a suit nor had I'ho being my first client. I suppose I should add that the judge's practical joke made my fortune , but truth compels mo to admit that ltdidn't. It took a great many years of very hard work to do that. " A story about Representative Stahl- nccker which uhas been going the con gressional rounds recently is related by himself , says the Now York Times : Ho was on a western trip not long ago when ho was addressed by one of his comjmn- pnnlons as "Mr. Mayor. " A curious stranger with whom ho had been talk ing and smoking in the smoking room leaned over and said : "Excuse mo , sir , but of what city are you mayor ? " Mr. Slahlncckcr replied quickly : "Of the next city to New York. ' ' "Surely , " said the stranger , "you don't mean Philadelphia ? " "No , " said Mr. Stahlncckcr. "Nor Boston , " said the stranger. "I know the mayor of Boston. " "No. " said Mr. Stahlnecker. "Well , then , what city do you mean ? " "Probably if you had been bettor ac quainted with the geography of Now York state you would have known that I meant Yonkers , " said Mr. Stahlnecker. "Yonkers , I believe , is the next city to Now York. " _ Congressman John Allen of Missis sippi in addition to being ono of the wits of the house , is also something of a "plunger" in society , says the Baltimore Sun. Ho was present at n , musicale given at the Shoroham by Mrs. Jeanette Thurbor ti few evenings ago , and talked music with a lluoncy that astonished some of those who heard him. During the evening Mrs. Thurbor engaged the Mississippi congressman in conversation for tv few minutes , and incidentally in quired if ho wtvs familiar with the study of music. "Oh , yes"rcplied Mr. Allen , prompt ly. "I am something of a musician my self. In fact 1 am so fond of music that I introduce it into my everyday life with very beneficial cITecl. I control my wife and family and govern my en tire household by the power of my music. " "I don't "an quite comprehend you , swered Mrs. Thurbor , smiling. "Well , " said Mr. Allen , with a merry twinkle in his eyes , "it is just like this : When I request my wife or any member of my family to do anything , and they refuse , I threaten to sing. They imme diately relent and do my bidding rather than hear me. " A telegraph messenger boy delivered a message to Governor Mellotto , which the governor opened and read , says the Pierre Capital. When ho had finished ho laid the telegram down , and noticed the boy waiting patiently as if expecting something. The governor went at his work at his desk , and noticed that the boy still lingered. The governor asked the boy if there was anything ho could do for him , and was informed that there was 35 cents charges on the message. The governor put his hand in his pocket , looked blank for a minute , put his hand in another pocket and looked more blank. IIo finally told the boy ho didn't have the change. The boy looked up at the governor apparently amazed , and finally ejaculated : "Well , you are a h 1 of tv man to bo governor ! " and then made a hasty retreat. Judge Campbell was ono of the popular men in the house , says the Chicago cage Herald. A more genial and oblig ing gentleman never breathed. IIo was particularly a ( Table to now members. In the last congress ho introduced n now member to Governor Gear , who repre sents the First district of Iowa. The governor , who is fully as genial as the judge , shook hands with the now ac quaintance and said : "Oh , yes , I re member you perfectly. You were n member of the last house. " "Oh , no , governor , " Judge Campbell remarked ; "ho Is tv now member. You're entirely oil. This house is tv virgin forest to himl" The representative , who overheard the remark , hero broke in with the in quiry : "What is tv virgin forest ? " "A virgin forest , " Mr. Campbell responded , "a virgin forest is i s ol course any man knows what tv virgin forest is - " Hero ho began to move his hands as though working tv buzz wheel. "A virgin forest is a place where the hand of man has never put his foot.

" The Old Question Lovers Have Asked Since the Time of Eve , WHY SERVANTS ARE WASTEFUL. Some ItuIcH Far Obtaining n Clear KKK ItuntltiK an n I'atl-- MarrylnifFrom Force of Habit. Thcro Is In n recent number of Har per's Bazar nn Illustration a little , shadowy picture that must shako seine women to the very Boul ; that surely seine woiiuin can not look at for burning tears ! It is only n young man niul n young woman with their hands on each other's shoulders , their eyes looking deep into each other's souls. But beneath the pic ture are these words : "Can't you trust mo , Rose ? " There is in the whole of seine woman's life story in Unit picture all the love , the doubt , the trusting again and again , the dumb sorrow , the awful shrinking from that heart-breaking question , "Can't you trust moV" Saddest of till hearts Is that pure , true one that loves deeply and unselfishly , yet fools that the object of its affection can not rise to its own level , writes Kiln Iligginson in West Shore. Too strong and unselfish to cast the unworthy one adrift for her own peace of mind , she keeps what gentle hold she may upon him by her .tender influence , her pure love , her quiet self-denial. For him this means a gay life apart from ncrs , and the proud happiness of knowing that the woman whom ho really , in his own selfish way , loves be longs to him and is true to him. For her it means sleepless nights and lonely tears and endless prayers ; it means a gradual wearing away of life in hurts and carelessness and forgotten atten tions ; it means sad lips and aching hearts and wistful eyes eyes that are over looking for and over shrinking from some now hurt , homo greater sorrow row , or iv repetition of that awful ques tion : "Can't you trust mo ? " To which she must answer always , with pale lips and fainting heart , "Yes , dear ; yes. " Ilulcs for H Clour Skin. You want lo keep your skin nice ll summer ? says a writer in the Ladies' Home Journal. Well , then , here tire some rules for you : Don't bathe in hard water ; soften it with a few drops of ammonia , or a little borax. Don't btitlio your face while it is very warm , and never use very cold water for Don'I wash your face when you are traveling , unless it is with a lillle alco hoi and water , or u little vaseline. Don't attempt to remove dust with cold water ; give your face a hot bath , using plenty of good soap , then give it n thorough rinsing with water that has had the chill taken off of it. Don't rub your face with a coarse tow el , just remember it is not made of ctibt- iron , and treat it as you -would the fincsl porcelain gently and delicately. Don't ube a sponge , or linen rag for your face ; choose instead a flannel ono. . Don't believe you can get rid of wrin kles by filling the crevices with powder. Instead give your face a Russian bath every night ; thai is , lo bathe it with water so hot that you wonder how you can stand it , and then , a inlnuto after , with cold water that will mnko it glow with warmth ; dry it with nsoft towel and go to bed , and you ought to sleep like u baby while your skin is growing firmer and coming from out of the wrinkles , and you tire resting. "Waste in the House. Servants tire forever spending not their own , but that which is the property of others , whether wo take that property us soap and soda , candles and cosmes- libles , or what not. Human beings tire not given to look upon other people's property in Iho same lighl us they look upon Ihoir own , says Iho National Re view. A professional man traveling at his own expense travels cheaply , but at the expense of another generally the re verse of economically. So with domestic servants ; they spend , but do not buy ; everything is ready to their hands and nothing to pay for , and this of itself is not only apt to beget a certain indiffer ence for the property of others , but is also demoralizing in thai it blunts the pcrcoplions regarding waste. Tlio waste in largo households is always con siderable , often terrible ; the land of plenty is not the land ol economy , but the atmosphere of the former is that surrounding servants. There is consequently quently a growing tendency lo disregard waste IIH a sin ; the waste does not react upon themselves , and is consequcnlly imperceptible ; it is constantly going on at Ihoir master's tables and at their own , and their eyes become blinded to it , not because they cannot realize that to waste is to sin , bul because they become inured to it by custom. Another indication of Iho effect that surroundings have upon servants is mipplicd by the fact of their being generally improvident. They have but a meager idea of the value of Iho Ihlngs they use or consume , because they never have to pay for them , but when the time comes that they have lo provide for themselves , a lamentable exhibition of their want of experience is too often the result. Wo know how often it happens that servants who have contrived to save a lltllo lose Ihoir allen on Belling up for themselves. Want of business ability may account for a part of the want of success which terminated in their ruin , but their previous training and the easy conditions of their lives as r > er.Mints rendered them unable lo count the cost before selling out. lO fHunting a Faslilonallo DIvcrHlnn. A woman with considerable wealth , infected with the desire for novelty , gave a largo .May party at her country house on Long Island , N. Y. , a few days ago , says the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. The menu was exquisite , the house was fragrant with apple-blossoms and white with dogwood ( lowers. After the repast had been discussed a somewhat stout and pompous-looking man servant ap peared with a largo silver waiter loaded with straw hats tied up with ribbons , for use as bankets , and the hostess taking 0110 , handed another to the guest of honor , and explained that an adjourn ment to the barn was next in order , whuro they would hunt i-ggs if , perchance - chance , I ho lions had laid any. The august dames looked very milch astonished and cast furtive glances nt their delicate draperies , but they peered ; into the stalls and climbed the haymows | obediently , if nearsightedly , and it is i only fair to the hens to say that a great number of eggs materialized. The mines that is to gay , the nests had ' boon salted In all probability , This was ' playing at Marie Antoinette and rustle i simplicity , but bomo of the guests looked puzzled and t > umu were a cynical biuile. Quo lest u bungle bracelet uud it ia , doubtful if egg-hunting ns n fashionable diversion becomes popular. Why Seine Men Marry. Mr. Julian Ralph sots himself in Chatter - tor to discussing the question matrimon ial as It frequently develops Itself in the enso of business young women who , ho declares , huvo fallen into tv way of mar rying their rich employers , that is rapIdly - Idly becoming the fashion , says the Now York Evening Sun. , Mr. Hnlph instances "the head of n great news company , n partner in u great rellning company , ti rich lawyer who was smitten by a , lady who took shorthand notes of his refer ence cases" as "drops in the bucket that the mischeviousgod has tilled. " Hut just why this should ceom to Mr. Ralph as a strnniro and new thing and worthy of special wonderment hardly appears. There Is nothing either newer or strange about It. It's as old as the custom of marrying tit all , and is only anew now development of the old way men and women have always had of jumping oil into matrimony because they chanced to find themselves together on the brink of the abyss. It is a now phase of the old force propinquity. With the mass of men nye , and with many women , lee matrimony is largely decided by habit. Men marry women because they are used to them. They declare ( and believe ) that they marry them because they love them , lint - hero wo come back to the original state ment-they love them because they tire used to them. A wise mini declares that most men would marry their dressing- gowns or their favorite arm chairs if they could. And so you see a clever young woman finds herself on the royal road to her employer's heart in the bus- ness necessity that keeps her constantly near him. The private secretary who takes the burden of his correspondence oil' his Mhouldersor the typewriter whoso nimble lingers click over thu keys given the man whoso heart is at leisure this woman in some vague way be comes a part of his daily atmosphere. Ho needs her and she is always there. He learns to depend upon her. He gets used to having her about. She under stands his ways and humors them. Ono day a sudden thought strikes him. The next day ho proposes to her. And then Mr. Julian Ralph finds that n strange new thing has come about. And she ! She guessed how it would bo from the very first. And do women marry men from the same "motive" shall wo say ? "luck of other motive " perhaps. Sometimes , es pecially if the woman is no longer young. Perhaps that was why George Eliot mar ried Mr. Cross , and why the Baroness Burdott-Coutts married her husband in spite of all the disparity of years. Per haps What's that Ilosea Bigelow says ?

The garments tire made to order of material selected by the custo mer , cut to measure and hand-finished by the cloistered nuns. The advantage of this is apparent to every lover of beautiful needle-work , while the prices are very moderate , considering the serv ing.Unless Unless otherwise directed , each gar ment in the outfit is differently orna mented , and the monogram or initial letters are examples of old ecclesiastical script. Now and then a frill or inserted corsage is made from n scrap of altar laces or vestments , trimming yellow with years and fragrantly suggestive of some precious incense so dear to the re ligious devotee. From time beyond reckoning the night dress has been the garment par excellence , and it still roignf , but not in cambric. Instead of fine dimity silk is used , and so elaborate is the design that the cost is little less than for a housu toilet. For a model the recluse opens a his tory of toggery and turns over the leaves until ti Tudor , a Plantagenet or an Elizabethan beauty attracts her fancy , and the costume is reproduced with his toric accuracy. The result is the Anne Boloyn , Anne Stanhope , Queen Anne , Anne of Austria and Countess of Bed ford robe do unit , any one of which is a study for a tea or breakfast room. Nothing is thought of paying $ 'JO ' for n night dress of this sort , and there is no substitute for it tis a traveling robo. In stead of carrying n wrapper and a mus lin nightgown on an overland or oceanic voyage the woman of the world puts one of these India silks in a hand snehel , and , come what may , is satisfied that she will make a nice appearance. As a proof of the popularity of these silken robes one has only to look into the show cases of Fifth avenue ( Ivors and cleaners , where they crowd the hooks and argue the luxurious livingof the money women of America. Over Imuo Dresses. In making over a lace trown , which has been unfortunate enough to bo torn nero or there , just remember Unit the place can bo sketchily darned and never show if it is done over a piece of brussels not , says the Ladies' Homo Journal. This , of course , supports the weak places in the hico and necessitates so few stitches that they look almost like part of the pattern. The lace pattern just described is in perfectly good taste for ordinary wear ; but the woman who wants to make 0110 gown answer for many purposes is she who is wise enough to have two or possibly three bodices to wear with her black luco costume. One may bo of vel vet and ono of either moire , or black grog-grain , as is most becoming. So little decoration is .put on lace skirts , that the bodices are elaborately trimmed. The rows of ribbons about the skirts , which were so much lilted last season , do not obtain at all this \vcar. The ono decoration which seems to be favored by the French modiste is a sash in the back , n sash that is of very broad ribbon and has both long loops and ends. Vim Iloutcn's Coeon Largest sale in the world. AVIiou a "Woman is Well DrcHNcd. The general woman is the woman von know and I know , you like and I lilco. She has wit and sense enough to realize that the most expensive fashions are often the koy-noto to the development of pretty coats and frocks in less costly fabrics , says a writer in the Ladies' Home Journal. If she is wise she will study out the colors and s lull's that suit her best. She will buy each frock and gown with the thought to that which Is already In her wardrobe , and in this way will avoid inharmonious effects. Gowns , gloves and hats in harmony are what , lifter all , mnko a well-dressed woman. They need not absolutely mutch , but not n color must , as the French people say. "swear tit each other. " The general ef fect must bo that gained in a many- lined llowor , each shade blending into oaeh other until perfection is obtained , and the woman , llko a llowor , Is a sym phony of tints. - o Thousands of Dollar * Arc spent every ycnr by the ( iconic of this htiito for worthless iiioiliriiiL's for the euro of throat and IUIIK ( list-uses , when wo know that if they would only Invi-Ht $1 In SANTA AIM 15. thu nuw California discovery for toa- Miniptlon and Ulmlrcil complaintx thuy would in till * pleasant remedy Jliul ivllof. it is recommended by ministers , iihysii-iuns and public speakursof the Cioliii'ii State.
