In an entertaiuin- account of a din ner party at Prince r.ismarck's Berlin residence which is priven in the recol lections of the Livonia n journalist Eck hardt the folio-win:?, Avhich was a part of the table talk, shows the host in a new light: The conversation had turn ed on Bismarck's early dnys at Frank fort, and Eekhardt asked whether at the table d'hote of the Hotel d'Anaie terro his host h- 1 :H- mot Schopen hauer. ".W . isiiiarck; "he had no use for nie iut i for him: More over,vI havj never .had time or desire to occupy myself with philosophy. While 1 was a student Schopenhauer was still unknown. I know absolute ly nothing about his system." Another jruest. an admirer of Scho penhauer, then joined enthusiastically in the conversation and explained that the philosopher's jrreat mcrif consisted In the discovery of the fact that will ;ower was the indestructible essence of the mind of man and that intelli--g,ence was only secondary impor tance. . "That may very well be true," said Prince Bismarck, "at least as far as I m' concerned, for I have often" noticed that my will had already come to a decision while my mind had not ret finished-thinking about tho same subject.", VENETIAN WOMEN. The Whims of Fashion Hold No Ter rors For Them. The women of Venice are absolutely free from the rule which Dame Fash ion exercises over their sisters else where. .They care nothinjr for modes With them the length of the skirt' re mains always tlie-same, Jieither short nor lontr. and they always wear plainly made dark dresses, black stockings and the heclless flippers of the east. Hats are unknown. The universal outdoor wrap for all apes and ail sizes is the black shawl, with a deoi silken fringe. It is folded v. i;ii a short point above and a long one bslow. and sometimes it envelopes the figure from head to foot. It is nev er fastened at the throat, and when it slips off it is gathered up with one out stretched arm, which makes the-spee tator think of a big bird stretching '.fs wing. In their attire the women of Venice are independent, only wearing local clothing, but with feminine inconsist ency they are thoroughly up to date in the matter of haiidressiug. the style of their coiffures changing from -time to time, according to the vogue of the moment in London and Paris. Icfar.tifisd. William M. Chase, the artist, was a picturesque figure, dressing in clothes that had a -certain originality, though they conformed more "or less to the prevailing fashions. On one occasion Chase on his way home stepped into a little wifle shop and ordered a jug of claret of a special brand sent to his house. The lad who brought it eantc to the front door an hour afterward when the artist had already arrived. "Some wine." he said " curtly. The maid, knowing there was yet plenty in the cellar and believing the lid had made a mistake, said she was sure it was not for tluit" house and dirt the boy remember the name of the man who ordered i!. "The boy didn't. 'Then," said the servant. "you've come to the wrong place; we- never ordered wine!" At this moment the bov spied Chase's famous hat on the hall tab'e. "Say," he asked, -does that hat live hcr?" "Yes," said the amused maid. '"Then." said the boy triumphantly, "here's whore the wine belongs:" Argonaut. Mot For Fashion's Gake. The criminal law of Englandwas formerly marked, by indiscriminatfiu: severity. -Theft of an article valued above 20 shillings was punished with death. In writing about "Sweet Ilampstead ami Its Associations" Mrs. White-records a pleasant thing of Lord Mansfield, who, as a rule, leaned to the side of mercy. It was Lord Mans field who directed a - jury to find a stolon trinket less in value than -10 shillings in order that the thief might escape capital punishment. To this the jeweler who prosecuted demurred, asserting that the fashion of the thing had cost him twice that money. -"Gentlemen." replied the judge, with grave soUiuniiy, "we ourselves stand in need of mercy. Let us not hang a man for the fashion's sake!" Macfahon's Epigram. When Marshal MacMahon in the Crimean campaign took the Mahtko.T y storm and wrote his celebrated dis patch, "J'y s"is: j'y reste" ("Here I am; Here I stay". these words made him famou? alii over the world. Vet hU friends saiT that the worthy sol dier had written them in the most matter of fact manner, with no thought of phrase making.- The most surprised person over the success of this epigram was MacMahon himself. is taken by people in tropi cal countries all the year round.

It is or was a rule of the Hudson Bay company that no woman be al lowed passage on its boats. One day some years ago as a steamer of the company neared one of the northern most ports a string of white garments was seen stretched across the deck. The watchers were amazed, for to' them the wash line suggested only the presence of a woman abd-ard the boat. Comment was freely made of the scandal that would ensue and the shakeup that would follow. When the boat docked the line of washing had disappeared still another proof of the scandal. Later one of the landsmen said to the captain: , "Why, how did-it happen that you carried a woman passenger this trip?" "There was never a woman along the whole voyage," was the indignant answer. "What do you mean?" "If there was no woman aboard where did all that white wash come from?" was the triumphant reply. The captain looked puzzled foi- a moment, and then he laughed. "Oh," he said, "and didn't we have Lord Stratheona, the governor himself, along with us on this trip? And every day doesn't he insist on having his clean white shirt, no matter how far north we are? That's the white wash you saw strung along deck. And, what's more, doesn't his lordship in sist upon having his London paper laid beside his plate every morning, no matter if it is a year old?" Pearson's. A WASTER OF METAPHOR. It Must Have Relieved Him to Get This Out of His System. - A water consumer in a 'certain city, whose supply had been turned off be cause he wouldn't pay, wrote to the department as follows: "In the matter of shutting off the water on unpaid bills your company is fast becoming a regular crystallized Ilussinu bureaucracy running in a groove and deaf to the appeals of re form. There is no use of your trying to impugn, the verity of this indict ment by shaking your official heads in the teeth of your own deeds. "If you will persist in this kind of thing a widespread conflagration of (he populace will be so imminent that it will require oaly-n spark to iet--ioose the dogs ofi. war in our midst. ' Will you persist in hurling the cornerstone of our personal liberty to your wolfish hounds of collectors thirstiiVg for its blood? If you persist the first thing you know you will have the chariot of a justly indignant revolution roll inaf along in our midst and gnashing its teeth as it rolls. "If your rascally collectors are per mitted to continue coming to our doors with unblushing footsteps, with cloaks of hypocritical compunction in their mouths, and compel payment from your patrons this policy will result in cutting the wool off the sheep that lays the golden egg until you have prwnped it dry, and then farewell, a long farewell, to our vaunted pros perity." Everybody's. When to Eat Fruit. To obtain the most benefit. from tle succulent fruits tluty should be eaten at the end of the chief meal. Bananas are an exception and may be oaten with any meal. They are .very -acceptable cut in thin slices and eaten with bread and butter. Stewed fruIN often have their virtues wasted through being eaten at the wrong time Six or eight stewed prunes half an hour before breakfast are beneficial; so are stewed figs or stewed apples eaten before breakfast. Peeled or anges cut into thin slices so that the juice is set free, with sugar strewn over the slices, are not unlike pine apple .and form a highly efficacious aid to digestion. Grapes should never be eaten except after the chief meal of the day. Taken when the stomach is comparatively empfj-, they are a spe cially harmful fruit.Family Doctor. Rulsr of Russia's Title. The general alhuion to the ruler of Russia as the czar is, strictly speaking, incorrect. His official title is "emperor and autocrat." Czar is the old Rus sian word for lord or prince ami was abandoned by Peter the Great on his triumphal return from Poltava, his crowning victory over Charles XII. of "Sweden. Since Then the Russian mon arch has been officially entitled em peror, and" at the congress of Vienna in 181-j his right to the imperial term was admitted by tLe powers, with the proviso that, thouglr he was emperor, he had no precedence over the kings of western Europe.

Flatinlzed glass consists of a piece of rlass coated vlth an exceedingly thin iayer of a liquid charged with plati lum and then raised to a red heat. The platinum becomes united to the ?lass in suchVa way as t'form an odd lind of mirror. i The glass has not? really lost its transparency, and yet'if one places it igainst a wall and looks at it he sees lis image as in an ordinary looking ;lass. But when light is allowed to ;om,e through the glass from the other ( ?ide, as when it is placed in a window, it appears perfectly transparent, like Drdinary glass. By constructing a window of plati lized glass one could stand close behind the panes in an unillnminated room and behold clearly everything going in outside, while passersby looking at the window would behold only a fine mirror or set of mirrors in which their awn figures would be reflected while the person inside remained invisible. In France various tricks have been contrived with the aid of this glass.. In one a person seeing what appears to be an ordinary mirror approaches it to "gaze upon himself. A sudden change in the mechanism sends light through the glass from the back, where upon it instantly becomes transparent, nnd the startled spectator finds him self confronted by soma grotesque fig urj that had been hidden behind the glass. Harper's Weekly. ORIGIN OF LLOYD'S. Humble Beginning of Europe's Great Maritime Agency. Two centuries ago a man who had a ?argo to send to the Mediterranean c-ontrived to get rid of some of the risk by inducing a friend to take an interest with him. It was necessary to write out a statement of contract to which the guarantors subscribed. This was the first underwriting. These two men happened to be fre quenters of ' Lloyd's coffee house in London, which was a favorite place for the merchants of the town to gather to. discuss business or to gossip. Others immediately saw the advan tage of the scheme which their col leagues had devised, and on the next voyage the risk was parceled out among a larger num!er of the patrons of the coffee house. Out of this small beginning has grown the great European mamime agency, still bearing the name of the humble coffee house proprietor, and which not only writes risks on vessels, but rates them and publishes their ar rivals at every port the world over, no matter how small or how remote ly situated. "Annals of the American Academy." . Where Abraham Fished. Mrs. Victoria de Bunsen in "The Soul of a Turk" relates a legend con cerning Abraham which will be new to many readers. She J earned of R while at Edcssa, the traditional Ur of the Chaldees. She was shown there a large oblong tank of water so filled with fishes resting just below the sur face of the water that their fins and backs seemed almost wedged together so as to form "an almost solid layer of silvery life." "The guardian of the mosque thrown some meal into the water, and the fish jump high to catch it, a great living pyramid, of which those which jump the highest i'orm the pinnacle. The tradition is that Abraham as a child fished in the tank; hence the fish were considered sacred.' No single one has been caught or killed to this day. In deed, death would overtake the man who transgressed this law." Protection From Lightning. Sir Oliver Lodge stated that the problem of securing protection -from lightning consisted in finding the best method of dissipating the enormous energy of the flash, but that it was not wise to get rid of the energy too quickly. A thin iron wire is consid ered the best lightning conductor from the electrical point of view, but it ii almost impossible to protect a building from lightning unless it is' completely enveloped in a metal cage. It is by no means true that a building is safe when provided with a conductor reach ing up to the highest pait of the building. The Origin, of Grocer. Grocer appears in Ilolinshed's Chron icle, loSO, as "grosser," and in other mediaeval records it is sometimes writ ten "engrosser" . and was applied to th$ spicers and pepperers who were wholesale dealers in various spices that. is, who dealt en gros in large quantities, as distinguished from "re grators," who were retail dealers. The Grocers' company first adopted the word grocer in 1373r when the spicers and pepperers allied themselves into a single corporation. London Express. A Useless Question.

Deooy Used by the Na tive Fishermen of Hawaii. "Lau melomelo" is the name of a. de coy used by the native fishermen of Hawaii. It is made of the hardest wood to be found on the islands and is carved and rubbed till It assumes the shape of a club with a little knob at the smaller end, to which the line is tied. The club is from one to three feet long. A village sorcerer performs cer tain rites over it over a sacred fire. 4fter this Is done the club is magic, and the fisherman must be extremely careful of it. If a woman should step over it or enter a canoe in which it lies the club would lose all its power and would be useless ever afterward. ' After the club has been charmed the fisherman mixes candlenut and cocoa nut meat, bakes it and ties the mix ture in a wrapper of cocoanut fiber. At the fishing grounds the club is covered with the oily juice of the stuff and is then lowered carefully to the bottom. ' The scent of the baked nut meat attracts certain kinds of fish, which soon gather and begin to nibble at the club. As soon as enough fish are around the decoy a small bag shaped net is lowered very gently until its mouth is just over the club. The latter is then pulled up carefully and cunningly till it is within the bag. The fish are so eager for the stuff with which the club is covered that they follow it into the net without fear. As. soon as all the fish are in it a fish erman dives and closes the mouth of the net,1 whereupon the rest hr.nl it up quickly. THE MIDDLE AGED MAN. Finding Happiness In a Life That to Youth Is Irksome. "Younger people," said the middle aged man, "want variety. They want , to be always on the go. Routine galls '. them. They hate to have to do the same thing over and over and over again day after day. j "They want to go somewhere or do something different all the time. Older i , people are happiest in a life of routine, ; most disturbed when variety is thrust j upon them. j "For myself I welcome my daily task, endlessly repeated and always ! the same. I should be lost without it; .disturbed if it were changed. 'A life of habit suits me best. I like the old scenes familiar friendly surroundings. I don't wantToVhange. J "Nor do I want, much outside pleas- ; ure. In fact, I think I should be best ' suited with none. I like my groove. It fits me,-and I fit it. I don't want change. I just want to be left alone to work in my accustomed ways. It is in my groove that I am most coni- j fortable. I like a life of labor and routine. "And could there come to one a greater blessing? Nature and the cus toms of men enforce routine upon us whether we like it or not. In youth this irks us, but in our maturer years in a life of routine, in the undisturbed enjoyment of familiar labor, we may find our greatest happiness." New York Sun. The One to Pay. When she was Lady Randolph Churchill, Mrs. George Cornwallis West consented to electioneer for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett in his first parlia mentary campaign. Mr. Ashmead- i Bartlett was married to the Baroness Burdett-Coutts, a very rich woman, who was nearly forty years his senior. Lady Randolph, with her beauty and charms, did splendid work for the can didate. To a group of farmers she said one day: "Won't you promise me to vote for Mr. Ashmead-Bartlett?" "My lady," said a red faced farmer, with a chuckle, "we'll all vote for him if every vote Ml be paid for with a kiss." "Thank you very much," said Lady Randolph. "Your offer i accepted. I'll send for the Baroness Burdett Coutts at once." Deserted Their Towns. So late as the end of the seventeenth century the -inhabitants of Ceylon were in the habit of deserting their towns. Their customs are described in the narrative of Captain Robert Knox, who for nineteen years, from IGOa to 1079, was a captive atnong them.-- He speaks of several towns as lying desolate owing to the fact that their inhabitants had forsaken them. This they did if many of them fell sick, and two or three died soon after one another, thinking that it was a visitation of the evil one. Some of them came back when they thought the evil spirits had departed. A Queer Creature. Queer that while the male seal is a bull and the female a cow their young ster is not called a calf, but a pup. Why "seal fisheries," too, when the seal is not a fish? And why should the seal's breeding place be styled a rookery? It looks as if this strange creature is only a fish in common parlance while at sea.- On land (or Ice) he is classed popularly with animals or birds. Ex change. Gratitude. - .

Whatever your lot In life, keep Joy with you, says Orison Swett Maiden in Success Magazine. It is a great healer. Sorrow, worry, jealousy, envy, bad temper, create friction and grind away the delicate human machinery so that the brain loses its cunning. Half the misery in the world would be avoided if the people would make a business of having plenty of fun at home Instead of running every where else in search of it. "Now For Rest and Fun." "No Business Troubles Allowed Here." These are good homo building mottoes. When you have had a perplexing day, when things have gone wrong with you and you go home at night exhausted,, discouraged, blue, instead e.f making your home miserable by going over your troubles and trials just bury them. Instead of dragging them home and making yourself and your family unhappy with them and spoiling the whole evennlng. Just lock everything (hat is disagreeable in your office. Just resolve that your borne shall be fa place for bright pictures and pleas ant memories, kindly feelings toward everybody and "a corking good time" generally. If you do this you will be surprised to see how your vocation or business wrinkles will bo ironed out in the morning and how the crooked ! things will be straightened. THE COTTON GIN. Whitney Got the Idea From the Work of an Old Negro. Eli Whitney ,-the inventor of the cot ton gin, got the germ of his great ide.-i from seeing through the interstices of a hut an old negro work a hand saw among the freshly picked cotton stored within. The teeth of the saw tore the lint from the seed easily and quickly, and young Whitney (he was barely thir teen at the time) realized at once that a machine working a number of simi lar saws simultaneously would revolu tionize the cotton growing industry. He said nothing to anybody, but set to work building models and experi menting. His difficulties were enor mous, for lie not only had to make his own wheels, cogs, etc., but he had also first to forge his own tools and even to manufacture the paint wherewith to color his many plans and drawings. But lie succeeded in the end, and, though the outbreak of war and oilier hindrances prevented the inveution from being actually placed upon the market until many years afterward, the first complete col ton gin ever con structed was built from those very models and plans and with scarcely a single alteration.
