*f E w York. Feb. 7.—The memory of
. Saint Valentine, patron of all true
C erSl will be honored this year ai never
vfore, if the preparations that have been
(or his feast day are any indication.
far months past the designers have been ont
d.iU3K cne another in their efforts to get up
.melting particularly novel and striking,
ibat -would coax the dollars out
and the pockets of love-lorn swains, with
p ore than ordinary facility, and the result
j, a most bewildering array of dainty crea
tJonSt S ome of which in point of price are
calculated to make the average young man
rasp.
One of the prettiest of these is a “valen
tine” that combines the useful with the
noetic and ornamental —a court plaster
ticket The covers are of heavy paste
bard, binged with pink ribbon. A good
supply of court plaster is fastened between,
while a tiny pair of scissors are attached to
the pocket by means of a long silk ribbon.
On the top cover, framed in green silk, is a
pretty group of dancing cupids printed on
celluloid, and on the other side, which is
c cored with silk, is this appropriate, verse
LatiDg strongly at a spurned love:
This will heal a cut.
Or soothe a smart,
But it will not cure
A broken heart.
A satin folding card inscribed “To My
Valentine” contains a declaration that even
the most obtuse maiden could not fail to
understand. On the outside an arrow of
celluloid, tipped with gold, sticks quivering
in the heart of a large pansy. Under this is
the inscription:
The face of my love
Within you’ll see;
Would I could mirror
My love for thee.
On opening tho card the recipient will be
considerably startled to find herself looking
into the depths of a bevelled mirror, which
has bean sat into the card in a whits velvet
frame.
Another valentine, less elaborate, but on
the same linos, is a pink silk mat. the ends
of which are folded to represent a square
e ivelope, A spray of lillies of the vdllev,
handpaiuted, is thrown across the center,
and underneath in quaint characters is the
inscription:
“Open the envelope and see the dearest face
on earth.”
On complying with these direction a
mirror is found embedded in a web of white
satin, which reflects the “dearest face on
eir;h” mantled with the prettiest blush
imaginable, provided the suspected sender
is her “best true love.”
Glove boxes and handkerchief cases, spe
cially designed for valentine offerings, were
comparatively unknown until the present
year, but the manufacturers found that
these pretty trifles admitted of such dainty
work that they were put on the market this
season in every conceivable shape. A
unique pattern is a square, flat-shaped affair
of glass. It is bound about the edge with
silk ribbou, and has, indeed, huge ribbon
l ows on each corner. Wherever a bit of
ri bon could possibly be attached it has
been put on, the effect being extremely
pretty. On the glass lid a small flock of
blue finches are painted, perched on the
branch of a tree, aud on each of the four
s des a spray of flowers almost hides the
glass. Inside the box the bottom is lined
with puffed satin, which rests on a cushion
of cotton wadding. On this satin pretty
valentine seutimouts are worked in gold
thread. These cases are for handkerchiefs,
aud glove boxes are made to match.
Another glove aud handkerchief set in
tended for a “valentine” is made up of
very thin wood, covered in blue silk, with
trimmings of moire ribbons in bows and
rosettes. These boxes are lined throughout
with quilted white satin. On the lid is a
celluloid panel, in bright colors, showing a
half dozen snowbirds, resting on a withered
limb that is heavy with frost. The sides
are adorned with hand painted sprays of
golden rod, and on the innerside of the
cover is the inscription, generally brief, but
very much to the point. Some of the more
numerous are: “With Sweet Thoughts of
Thee,” “From a Fond Heart,” “Loving
Thoughts,” etc. All of these boxes are
highly perfumed with sachet. They range
in price from $4 to SB.
A cheaper line, costing from one to three
dollars, are made of pasteboard, hand
painted or covered with silk. The designs
in these are innumerable, and they are inva
riably as pretty as they are unique. Here
the inscription is always on one corner of
the lid in silver gilt letters, and the senti
ments include everything from the non
committal inscription, “A Friend,” to the
amorous decoration, “To Her Who Rules
My Heart.”
A valentine that is calculated to win any
lady’s heart is a combined handkerchief
case and jewel box. It comes in the shape
of a satin cushion, stuffed with eider down.
The cushion is composed of two layers held
together by a silk cord in the middle, and
between these layers is the space for the
handkerchiefs. On top, with a tufted lace
cover, is the jewel box, lined with quilted
satin, of the same shade as the pillow.
"With Best Wishes,” “True Love,” “My
Queen,” or some other sentiment in gradu
ated degrees of warmth, is daintily em
broidered on one -corner of the cushion,
almost hidden under a cluster of red roses
or brilliant poppies.
Many of the more elaborate valentines
take the shape of musical insruments this
year, while hearts.which were formerly the
lavorite pattern, have been relegated to a
back seat. A harp covered with blue silk
and plush is one of the most striking of
these musical designs. Under the silver
strings clusters of daises are painted on the
B -n at ?d Simmering through a covering of
silk bolting cloth inside are groups of cupids
engaged in shooting their fatal arrows into
space, while good wishes or protestations of
anection are painted where no one but
those for whom the words are intended may
see them.
D ,J a , ns ’ pockets and cornucopias are
Th 2 ! avorlCes with the valentine designers.

keck to the useful again, a pretty
tun r , tln^ come3 in tba shape of a writing
r,.T . j Tte covers are of celluloid, hand
u 1 '™ or printed in bright colors. One of
St 1 saw was framed in green silk, and
a a silver tipped pencil attached by
Jeans of a silver cord. On the cover was
draped figure crowned with
P as, and holding clusters of the same
ft. J er , la her hand. The valentine was
with u iotcodod for use by a gentleman
uh whom the course of true love had not
„ n entirely smooth, for on the reverse side
was painted:
Pens are but cruel, dangerous things;
ineyre steel and wound the heart.
■this offer, lady, he who brings,
Has often felt their smart.
_ Bookmarks are another one of the useful
nings that have been employed to do ser
vice for Cupid on Bt. Valentine’s day. Of
these there is one that is pretty certain to
be a favorite with young gentlemen who
nave not yet arrived at an age when suoh
things are taken seriously. This is the old
nev Jp® of bringing out the talismanio “Kiss
me,‘by twirling the bookmark between the
nands, a silk oord with tassels being at*
tdo.ied to either end for the purpose. The
■ u raarlt itself i of pasteboard, covered
with white satin, and to give it an appro
priate flavor of the occasion the complete
design that shows when the strings are
twis.ed is "Kiss me, my vale.itine.”
Quite a complete little writing s-t has
also teen cleverly worked up as a valentine
gift. It embraces a blotter, pen and pen
wiper, combined in such a manner as to
produce a most dainty effect. Two horse
shoe shaped layers of ffue blotting pajier,
one of white and one of pink slightly
smaller, are laid cn9 oa top of
tha other. Then, mounted on
these, is a heart made of cellu
loid pierced by an arrow of the same mate
ria’. Around the odge of this heart are
sprays of violets and heliotrope, while’fas
tened in the center is a scallop shell, beauti
fully colored by nature. This shell works
on a hinge made of gold cord, aud under
neath is a piece of chamois skin—the pen
wiper. The pen is fastened to one corner of
the valentine by silk ribbon.
It would be pretty hard for a layman to
imagine a valentine sentiment woven
about such a prosaic thing a< a thermome
ter. But one genius at least has sol ved the
problem. He has fastened a miniature
Fahrenheit to a celluloid scroll, about six
inches high, on whioh is writteu:
Mav this tell you, how I love you.
When the summers semi it high;
May it tell you. how I love you.
When the winters ’round it sigh.
The ordinary valentine cards hold their
own even with all the novelties to contend
against, though even in them new ideas
have been introduced. Quite a number
have handsomely printed leaflets mounted
on the lace on satin card, in w hich are
copious extracts from the lovers’ favorite
poets. One folding card that I saw con
tained sonnets from Shakespeare, Brainard,
lloore and Michael Angelo, all appropri
ately illustrated, and the whole was iu
dited to “Ye Sweetest Mayed oa Earth.”
Another folding card was trimmed with
gold and silver cord and ornamented with a
hand-painted group of snow birds.
Asa matter of course nearly all the val
entines produced are designed with especial
reference to the fair sex, but the male end
of creation has been by no means forgot
ten. The favorite devics for them has been
adopted to do valentine duty is a necktie
case. Of these there are varieties in every
shape and form. The prevailing color
seems somehow to run to blue. They are
made of two long narrow pieces of extra
heavy pasteboard, covered with silk or satin
on the outside and lined with white silk.
The hinges are of satin cord, and for decora
tion thspe are hand-painted sprays of flow
ers, generally golden rod, on both curves.
Very few of them have inscriptions, the
idea being to permit the fair sender to have
any sentiment that she may desire to ex
press.
ARTESIAN WELLS.
A Sucbessful Demonstration at the
Works of the Crescent C ity Ice
Manufacturing Company.
. From the New Orleans Picayune.
Many of the more extensive manufacto
ries in the city, where large quantities of
water are necessary, have resorted to the
use of artesian wells, and while the supply
furnished has in most cases proved ade
quate, and the water satisfactory to taste
and bmell, in some instances largi r quanti
ties than could be supplied by the drove
wells were wanted.
To increase the flow J of water has been
sometimes difficult, if not altogether impos
sible, but the question has been at last
solved m a satisfactory manner, and a flow
of water from a single well of 1,000,000 gal
lons in twenty-four hours is an accomplished
faot.
Among the fallacies regarding artesian
water in this city was ope that it could not
be used for the manufacture ice. This was
disproved by the management of the Cres
cent City Ice Manufacturing Company,
who used it for that purpose from the first.
Two artesian wells,T4o feet deep each,
were driven in the yard of the factory, on
Front, between Lafayette and Poydras
streets, the first furnishing water at the rate
of sixty gallons per minute, and the other
eighty gallons. Recently the company
added anew thirty-ton ice machine to their
plant, and a larger supply of water was
necessary. A third drove well was deter
mined upon, but even with this addition,
should it flow at the rate of eighty gallons
per minute, it would not prove sufficient for
their purposes.
Capt. tS. J. Whitesides, of Savannah, Ga.,
who is vice president of the New Orleans
company, determined to venture on an ex
periment to increase the flow of water, and
that he was successful can be demonstrated
by a visit to the c mpany’s works, where
the flow of water will astonish all. Instead
of an outpour of 80 gallons per minute at
the surface of the ground he has secured an
unremitting flow of 700-gallons per minute
three feet above the surface, and the water
is pure, dear and sparkling, for it is
slightly impregnated w.th carbonic acid
gas and is devoid of taste.
Capt. Whiteside found in Savannah, (la.,
that by cutting off the pipe twenty feet
below the surface and attaching t > the end
a pump the flow of water greatly increased.
Ho concluded to try tha experiment here,
about a month ago the pipe (one inch In
diameter), having I een driven 740 feet and
a flow of eighty gallons per minute having
been obtained, ho sot to work. First he
stopped the flow and commenced digging a
well about thirty-live feet in circumference
around the pipe. He had dug down twenty
feet and secured the sides with a brick wall.
A pump with a cylinder 18 by 24 inches,
with a plunger twonty feet long, was
pleaced upright in the bottom of the well,
and at the surface a steam cylinder 18 inches
by 34 inches was placed vertically, and
connected with the boilers inside the build
ing. A six inch discharge pipe was con
nected with the pump, and all was ready.
Again the knowing ones were disap
pointed. They had told Capt. Whitesides
that if he stopped the flew of water from
the draw pipe a sediment would form in it
and choke tne flow of water. The pipe had
been closed a month, yet when it wa3
opened and the pump set to work the fl >w
was not only as great, but nearly ten times
greater than it was at first. Tne six-inch
discharge pipe appeared to be almost too
small to allow the column of water which
jutted forth to escape, and the gutters in
the streets were soon overflowing. For
four hours steadily the water flowed, and
there was no apparent diminution In the
supply, nor yet were the two other drove
wells, not twenty feet distant, affected by
the discharge of the imineuse quantities of
water.
Capt. Whitesides says by this means a
supply of 1,000,000 gallons every twenty
four hours is attainable, while by lowering
the pump to a still greater depth the supply
would be still larger and could readily be
increased to 3,000,000 gallons m twenty-four
hours.
The experiment, for such it can very
properly be called, proved to be a thorough
success, and the company, which is estab
lishing a branch factory on Decatur or Vic
tory street, between Marigny and Elysian
Fields streets, has determined to build a
similar well at that place.
Capt. Whiteides naturally feels proud of
his success, for he has exploded three
fallacies in regard to artesian water—firstly,
that it was unfit for the manufacture of ice;
secondly, that he could not lucreise the
supply of water, and thirdly, that if a pipe
was closed it would choke up, thus stopping
tne flow of water. Another advantage
gained by the application of the pump, as
devised by Capt. Whitesides, is the l-.asen
iug of expenses. While the supply of water
is nearly ten rimes as great by the use of
the apparatus, the latter does not cost as
much as would the driving of a well which
would probably onlr double the supply.
Capt. Whitesides predicts that in not very
many years New Orleans will depend en
tirely upon artesian wells for its water sup
ply, as it is far more palatable and clearer
than Mississippi river water, and. equally
as healthy.

New York, Feb. 7. —Cordiality in greet
ing is the proper thing this season. Lassi
tude, languor and indifference have gone to
the wall and, in their place, is graclousuess.
gush and welcome. With both arms out
stretched your hostess greets you, beaming
with all the effulgence that nature will
permit. She is glad to sea you, glad all
over, and she shows it as openly and uadis
gui edly as if she had not been taught for
the past few years to conceal her
affections, likes and dislikes under a asld
society hauteur. The woman who under
stands her business greets you as if she had
not another friend in the world, and had no
wish to make any beyond your own sweet
se'.f.
There are people of whom one never tires,
no matter how often one secs them, nor
how intimate the association may be. There
is about them that air of perpetual charm
and variety that makes’ them delightful
companions. They are sure to be good
tempered. There is never any fear of find
ing them in a pet, nor a prey to some ill
humor wholly unreasonable and inexplain
able.
They are pleased when you are pleased,
aud interested in what you have to say.
They are so sympathetic that your ills and
troubles become their own, and your friends
become so dear to them that not for the
world would they do anything to
rob you of them. Sometimes with
these bright, sweet natures you find
the added charm of originality, and
when you come across such a one, treasure
it and preserve it as one of the pearls of
your life for seldom, indeed, the talent
originality and good nature found com
bined in one mortal frame. A nature that
is so so richly endowed is three-fold talonted.
It has the talent of magnetism, toe talent
of keeping good-natured aud the priceless
talent of originality which, as Rudyard
Kipling says, it is not the discovery of any
thing new, but is rather, anew way of
looking at old things. And that makes it
all the more delightful.
There are women who, be they ever so
busy, look os if they had novor done a stroke
of work in all their lives. When they work,
they work all over, but as soon as the toil
some hour is past, they sink thoroughly to
rest. It is either all work or all play. But
have you not seen the woman who is the
personification of easel Who looks as if,
and who really has, tasted nothing but
sweets ali her life. You must have known
her, the petted child of love and fortune
whose mission it is to eat bread and honev,
sweetmeats, and jam all her life long! It is
well that there are a few such people upon
the earth, or this would be a sadly business
like, work-a-day sphere.
“Bibliotheca Goograpica Falaestinao” is
the pretentious name of a book just
launched upon the public in the old world.
It embraces the history of Palestine from
300 until now, and gives many a pretty
flight of fancy and fiction as well as hard
facts. Never were people as ready as they
uow are to receive everything in tho line of
literature; aud the subject treated need not
tie of great nor all-absorbing interest. If
,it is printed in good, cold type, it is pretty
sure to go. Titles such as “My Wife
Friend,” “Kissed Her Too Soon,” “A
Fatal Lover,” “Murdered at Last.” “Gay,
But Not Giddy,” and kindred others, find a
greedy sale.
It is estimated that the average New
York family spends 15 weekly in newspa
pers, magazines aud paper books; all to be
disposed of when once read. Besides this
sum a large amount is yearly invested in
books for tho family library. It is the
golden age for newspapers and all period
icals, that is certain. But whether it is
the golden age for literature is a question.
Hetty Green, now of New York, is an ex
ample of what womanly smartness and
frugality can do. Beginning with a paltry
SIO,OOO, she has added and accumulated un
til she has now a fat $30,000,000.
The fortunate girl is the one who has a
yellow garter given her by the bride of less
than a year. And why is she fortunate?
Because it ensures for i.er a laddie who shall
be her own true love and her husband era
another twelve months has elapsed. The
yellow garter must be worn by day and
night aud never removed save when the
art of cleanliness requires it. During the
first six months that it is worn,
tiie young woman will s?e her
own true love and become des
p rately well acquainted with him. The
next three months sees them engaged to be
married and the last three months of tho
year bear a wedding chime in their echoes.
Dear, sweet match-making young matrons
give a yellow garter to all the young girls
of their acquaintance whom they win ato
see wedded and, then, they do all fn their
power to further the cause by introducing
every eligible man of dear Jack’s acquaint
ance.
The moonstone is the luckiest stone in all
creation if obtained by gift, unexpected
and unsolicited. A certain newspaper wo
man declares that she would never dare to
go upon an assignment without the moon
stone ring that was given her at the begin
ning of her literary career, and which baa
accompanied her ever since in all success
ful expeditions. Never -has she known fail
ure with it upon her finger. And never has
she been susceeiful when it was forgotten or
mislaid.
If a second moonstone is given from any
other source, it should be at once given
away to some dear friend, or the mystic
charm will be broken. Wherever you see a
person wearing a single moonstone you may
be sure there is some superstition attached
to it.
It is the ice king’s harvest, as well as that
of the ice queen. He does his part in at*
tendance and attention, aud sh > does her’a
in actual work. Just notice at the next
ice carnival, or skating tournament if this
is not tho case.
The dear, sweet girl is helped into her
mufTcrs and skates and is almost carried
down to the house. But once there, it is
she who becomes the blithe, strong one, and
he the clinging ivy. it is she who flits about
cutting pretty figures and dancing upon her
ice wings. It is he who is merely, borne
along as companion and escort to the gay
creature who seems an incarnate sprit of
gaiety. Sometimes, she will seat her escort
in a chair and, then, with long swift strokes
with tbo sharp steel runners, she pushes him
blithely along.
What shall Ido to develop the bust?” is
the question most frequently asked of
women who write for the paper, and whose
mission it is to inquire into the modus ope
randiot all things that tend to make more
charming the human form divine. It is
true that women are flat-chested and flat
breasted to a greater extent than they
should be, but it is also true and a matter
of congratulation that flat-breasted women
are fewer to be found than they were a few
Sears ago. Women are finding out that
eauty is a matter controllable by them
selves and that they have no one but them
selves to blame If they do not possess
it Regular features and a Junoesque stat
ure they cannot acquire, but they can cul
tivate charms that are more inviting. By a
proper course of diet, exercise, bathing and
attention to general health they can secure
a clear, rosy complexion aud a sweet breath.
The dentist will make the teeth white, even
and attractive. A little knowledge of the
manicure art and the right kind of soap
will make the hand white and symmetrical.
The hair, by frequent shampooing, bsoomes
fairly fragrant with the fresh, watery smell
that is on a roan’s head, but seldom on a
woman.
And then, when all these things have been
scrupulously attended to. there yet lenviins
a deal of work to be do;.e by tho woman
her- fr, better suli, bv her mai 1 ,r 1 .: k
wit bath manipulator. Each evening when
ready for bed she should sponge her neck,
shoulders and bust with war.n water until
all the pores are thoroughly cleaned and
opened. Then, quickly, befo e there is time
for them to become chilled and, conse
quently, closed, should come a long, rigor
ous rubbing with sweet oil ur the purest of
vaseline. It should be taken by the hand
ful and rubbed thoroughly into the skiu,
gently at first and then rapidly, un.il not a
trace of tue oil remains upon the surface.
The oil, if used alone, will on some skins
produce a slight yellowish tinge, which is
counteracted by a dash of alcohol.
This treatment should be faithfully con
tinued each night for a month and the good
effects will be apparent oa the most obstin
ately lean casei before the expirati >u of
that time. The bust will be further bene
fit ted by squeezing while moist with the
warm wat r and by gentle pressure upon
both sides, working toward the front.
These suggestions are few, and so simple
that they cau be easily tried without dan
ger and with little loss'of time.
A beginning of good results comrs very
soon. A lady who tried it alliruis that her
bust measure increased two Inches in four
months by simply bathing with warm
water. She was somewhat perplexed to
find one breast developing faster than tuo
other, but solved the prob.em by reflecting
that she alwat's bathed the larger breast
first, aud gave it more rubbing.
So with the limbs, they can be rounded
out until they are pink and beautiful, not
colorless and fragile. For cases that defy
all recommended treatment, there are
methods that are safe, swift, sure and cer
tain.
From the newspaper report* of things,
Mas. Leslie Carter is never to know peace
upon the ea- th. She has the mi-fortune to
get at loggerheads with managers, friends
and relatives. And those with whom she
is upon agreeable terms, are, by some fat
uity, at sword’s points with her manager.
How much more coinfortahlo it must be for
a womanly soul to dwell in peace and ob
scurity, earning a little bit, of a livlibood,
rather than iu public, doing battle with men
and things, and living upon terrapin aud
champagne.
If a young man has any true regard for
a woman he gives her a ribbon bracelet,
perfectly plain, save for an inscription, and
clasps it upon her arm. It should lock, and
the key be carried by him who purchased
it. Theso are not of necessity engagement
bracelets; they mean merely true regard
and a desire that this state of feeling shall
continue.
If regard has deepened Into love, and a
blessed feeliDg of possession, a little verso is
inscribed upon the bracelet, telling to all
who care to read that two more lives have
been mad* happy in loving each other.
A pretty verse upon a New Year engage
ment bracelet ran thus;
The violet loves a sunny bank,
The cowslip loves the lea.
The ecarlet creeper loves the elm
And I love —thoe.
