A really fine function was ou
tapis, and mother and daughters had
planned for weeks for it. As they
were waiting for the carriage the
servant brought to the matron a let-
ter. She had every reason to think
that it contained news which would
prevent their going out as planned,
and the manner in which she rose
superior to the occasion is worthy of
note and does credit to her diplo-
macy if not to her heart.
"Girls," said she, entering the
room. "I have j ust received a letter
in a black bordered envelope from
New York, where, you know, Uncle
William has been seriously ill for ——
"Great heavens!" exclaimed the
gtrls, bursting into tears.
"There is every reason to suppose
—don't make your noses red, for gra-
cious sake—to suppose that it con-
tains sad news, but''
"But, maw," exclaimed the quar-
tet, "look at our new gowns and—
every tiling."
"Exactly,'' continued mamma. "I
was going on to say that whilo the
worst is to be feared, on the other
hand we really know nothing definite
as yet, and considering everything
I have concluded not to open the
letter until tomorrow morning."
And, repowderiug their noses, with
grateful smiles the girls rushed beam-
ingly out.—Boston Home Journal.
Itftllan A*bwtn*.
Some of the characteristics of Ital-
ian asbestus have given a decided
preference for that article, it seems,
over the American for certain man-
ufacturing purposes. Tho Italian
mineral lies in beds and pockets
which are mostly reached by open
quarrying, dynamite !>eing largely
employed in this operation. The
lumps as they are taken from tho
mine consist of bundles of hard fibers,
lying parallel to one another and
strongly bound together. They vary
in color from light gray to brown,
the general appearance of a fine sam-
ple being suggestive of the interior
of the riven trunk of a tree.
By the exercise of a little care
threads may be separated many feet
or even yards in length, the continu-
ity being perfect from end to end,
the general appearance and strength
being very similar to those of flax.
It is this characteristic of length and
strength of fiber and its chemical pu-
rity that are said to distinguish Italian
aabestus from all others. Still another
peculiarity remains to be mentioned,
—namely, a certain greasy feeling re-
sembling that of French chalk or
Boapstone.—New York Sun.
Fontaincbleau Forest.
This grand old forest of Fontaine-
bleau is everywhere very beautiful,
and, far from being monotonous in
character and simply a forest of
trees, it has a great variety of other
natural beauties. Certain parts con-
tain rocky hills, enriched here and
there by thick heath growing ou a
sandy soil. In places one sees great
heaps of rocks of sandstone forma-
tion piled one above the other on tho
slope of the hills, as if large masses of
water formerly had rushed through
all this country, loosening the iin
mense rocks and heaping them one
upon the other. One peculiarity of
these rocks is that many of them are
formed like great living monsters.
When we went into the forest to-
ward nightfall, Francois was always
deeply moved. It seemed to him as
though we were amid a crowd of an-
tediluvian monsters, and 'lie enjoyed
pointing out to me the semblance to
living formB of these mysterious
shapes.—Pierre Millet in Century.
Reaulta of Curiofllty.
Miss Minnetta saw one of her nu-
merous admirers in a barber's chair
having a day's growth of beard
rasped off with a razor. His face
had been coated with a heavy layer
of white lather, but when she saw
him one side had been scraped clean,
and as he caught a glimpse of her
the unlathered side turned a bright
crimson in deep contrast with the
white side. This has occurred so
often that the Indianapolis girls
wonder why there are 110 blinds to
the men's part of tonsorial establish
ments, as at the windows of the
women's part. One barber says .-
"Et de windows had blin's, we
couldn't see de ladies go by, sah."
The young men who patronize the
barber shops say that if the girls
would not look into the windows to
see if their dresses are hanging plumb
they would not see their half shaved
admirers wrapped up in towels.—In-
dianapolis News.
The Human* at Table.
A dish was prized for its oddity,
rarity or costlinvss. Mighty curious
reading are the accounts that come
down to us of the great Roman
"spreads," such as that which Lentu-
lns gave on his election to the office
of flamen, or that with which Nasi-
dienus mocked Horace and his
friends. The menus on these occa-
sions would strike terror to the heart
of a modern' 'maitre d'hotel" or "chef
de cuisine. "
What would be thought of a dish
of echini, or sea hedgehogs, of
thrashes served up on asparagus and
a fatted hen for course No. 1? Of
haunches of wild venison and becca-
fleos (fig peckers, "Curruca horten-
B»") for the second ? Of a sow's udder,
a wild boar's ch<«ek, a ragout of fish,
docks, hares, boiled teal, capers, fur
meaty and Pjcentian bread for the
third?—All the Year Round.
