How to Tioild and Appoint a Dainty Ued
rcora Fnrnishinjj. ' .
Every "lady in the land' is fond
of dainty and artistic equipments,
not only for her personal and home
adornment, but in the little every
day appointments of her dressing
table as well, and that this should be
is but the evidence of a refined and
'cultivated nature. j '
What could be prettier in a dainti
ly decorated chambor than the rich
ly draped toilet table, with its glit
ter and sparkle of silver and crystal
appointments1-its air of refinement
and luxury so dear to the heart of
every trye woman? J
That daintiness and refinement
may be expressed in the simple ev
eryday' appointments of a modest
home is unquestionably true. A
littio time and judgment spent in se
lecting tho necessary fittings of the
toilet" tablo of the plainer sort .will
reward the buyer to the fullest ex
tent, as in theso grades there are
great variety ancj, wide' range of
price. . j
. To be sure, tho glass need not be
cut crystal nor the finish solid sil
ver, but pressed glass comes in great
variety of pretty and useful forms,
and aluminium has the brilliancy of
silver and needs but little care to bo
kept bright and attractive. As a
basis for the toilet table on which to
display these dainty appointments
an average sized kitchen table may
be used. The unvarnished sort will
cost. but $1.25. )
We will simply offer ai few sug
gestions as basis on which to work.

The First English. SMIlins Magazine.
As we all know, Alexander ; Iiac
m ill an was the first to .project a shil
ling 'magazino in place of the old
quarterlies at 5 shillings and masa
zines at half a crown. The new ven
ture, Macmillan's Magazine, was
made in tho autumn of - 1S30, soon
after the establishment of the London-business
in Henrietta street,
with Professor Ma sson as the first
editor. A name for tho new period
ical was a long time under consideration.-
.Tennyson's " "Idylls of the
King" t'h-o first volume was then
fresh in men's mem pry and admira
tion, and a title in somo way arising
out of the "idvlls'.' was scriouslv
contemplated. King Arthur and The
Rou;d Table were Hwo suggested,
4nd no or the other was very near
ly adopted. ' .
The present writer well remem
bers being one cf a party of friends
of tho'firm assembled in Henrietta
street on the evening when Profess
or Masson's counsel was finally ac
cepted that tho' periodical should
bear only the naine of its. founder.
A trace of the original suggestions
is still to be seen in the design on
the 'cover, whero "the blameless
king" appears in the center medal

When tho familiar form goes by
the door with its measured, military
stride, each man knows that the su
preme moment is at hand. There is
a general and immediate exodus
from all the houses on the row, and
by hurrying a trifle the belated ones
are able to overtake Pop and catch
the train. : ;
This universal dependence, upon;
his movements was not .lost on tho
old gentleman, and one day lio con
ceived the mischievous idea of giv-
ing tho "boys" a surprise. The in- '

their astonishment that they were

about three-quarters cf a mile across'
and GCO feet deep. The rim,of this
strango crater lises between 150 and
200 feet above the surrounding plain.
Rocky fragments are scattered for
several miles around the crater, de
creasing in number until they dis
appear. Among these recks, many
fragments of meteoric iron, some
containing minute black diamonds,
have been found. The inner walls
show that tho crust of the earth-was

Geologists have recently proposed
several theories to account for this
singular phenomenon. One theory
is that an immense meteorite made

of the falling star. Another theory
ascribes tho origin of the crater to a

POP ALLEN'S LITTLE JOKE.
How He -Abused the Confidence of 'Com
I maters' Row."
In a suburban town about 15 miles
from New York there is a street the
real name of which does not matter,
for it is rarely mentioned by the
residents. Owing to the fact that
the men of nearly every family
along this thoroughfare are engaged
in business in the city and spend a
part of their lives traveling back and
forth-with ceaseless and monotonous
regularity the street itself was long
ago rechristened " Commuters' row. "
At the head, of the "row" and far
thest from the railway station lives
a man who is' the veritable father of
commuters. Old residents can
scarcely remember the; time when
Pop Allen, as he is irreverently re
ferred to by the younger men,, was
not actively engaged in catching
trains. Long experience has enabled
hini to reduce tho matter to an exact
science. He reaches the station each
morning just as the 8:07 pulls in,
having not an instant to spare, but
never missing the train.
The younger and sprier inhabit
ants of ''Commuters' row" have al
wavs considered it peculiarly fortu-
striking the earth's crust at a point
where subterranean water had accu
mulated in the neighborhood of
heated rocks, was the cause of the
explosion. Philadelphia Press.
