A veteran who had been through half a dozen campaigns and was very particular about wbat he ate wan in vited out to a grand dinner jiarty. Ho sat almost directly opposite the hostess and was painfully conscious that every move he made could he observed by her. Suddenly, at the height of the festivities, the veteran came across a caterpillar in Ids salad. A furtive glance at the hostess disclosed the fact that she, too, had discovered tlie embarrass ing circumstance. It was a critical moment, but tho old soldier was equal to tho occasion. Without changing a muscle ho gath ered up the caterpillar with a forkful of salad and swallowed both. The look of gratitude wliicli he received from the hostess u few minutes later warmed his heart. In due time the story leaked out, and when somebody asked the old campaigner how he liked caterpillar salad the reply came like a red hot shot i “Do you take mo for a man who would spoil a dinner party for a little thing like a caterpillar?”—Chicago Herald. Floating Disinfectant. A floating disinfectant which has come Into uso appears to possess the three very essential advantages of effl eiency, simplicity of application and uniform solution. A mixture of car bolic acid and other disinfectants In a solid form is so prepared that it will float in water. This melts slowly In the water, and Is always visible and accessible. The uniform rate of solu tion adapts it specially for use in closets. All that is necessary is to place a block of it in the water cistern supplying the closets. All danger of blocking up the pipes is avoided, as the disinfectant is always on tho top of the water.—New York Commercial Adver tiser. The Navy of Turkey. Turkey has apparently become rec onciled to her fate. She no longer makes any effort to match her great rival, Russia, upon the water, while ambitious Greece hungers for a slice of the “Sick Man’s” territory and Is strengthening her fleet for the struggle. The old armorclads with wliich Turkey made such a brave stand against Rus sia are now rapidly becoming obsolete, and there is no infusion of new mate rial to make up for the growing weak ness.—New York Herald.

An Aggregation of Wealth. “This atmosphere is pretty rich for men of our class,” said a railroad man of modest means as he shook hands with a friend in the cafe of the Wind sor Hotel one night “Why sof” asked the friend. “Too many millions in it,” replied the flret speaker. “The air of the lobby at this hotel is at present oppressively laden with wealth.

It has become quite customary for our churches to put a gallery for tho choir either behind the minister or be side the minister. The people want to see tho singers; they want to face the music. I do not like the custom. These last months I have been sitting In the pews and have faced tho music. 1 have thus added evidence, drawn from observation, to iriy theories that music should bo heard and not seen; it should appeal to tho ear and not to the eye. Tho sense of worship in song through the ugency of the ear is marred by the distractions which tho eye brings. The organist, jumping about on his seat, pawing the pedals, pulling tho stops, the size of the soprano’s mouth, eccen tricities of dress and deportment, nil these tho eye brings to tho heart and mind, and thus serves to mar the sense of worship. No, no; let us hide our musicians in order tho better to hear their music.—Cliicago Advance. A MountalnooH Story. Speaking of Pike’s Peak, a young lady visiting In Lowell, Mass., tells a good story of ono of those rare coinci dences that first surprise and then al most inevitably amuse. Her sister, who went to Colorado for the benefit of her health, was sojourning at Mani tou, and there ono day fell into con versation with a gentleman on the piazza of the hotel. They had not met before. They were admiring together the snowclad pyramid of Pike's Peak, towering in majesty before them. They agreed that never before had a more beautiful and inspiring sight met their eyes. “I suppose,” at length remarked the gentleman, smiling, “that the mountain has a peculiar interest to me from the fact that my name is Pike.” “Naturally it would,” returned the lady, “and 1 may say that my own en thusiasm is greatly due to tho fact that niy name is Peak."—Lowell Citizen. stunt a Fortune. In 1847 Admiral Cochrane, one of the heroes of the English navy, ob tained from tho government a perpet ual lease of the pitch lake of Trinidad at nominal figures, but as tho value of tho pitch was then little known Cocli rune was so indifferent to his bonanza as to allow it to revert to the govern merit. The lako is now leased to a firm for a period of twenty-one years at an annual rental of SIB,OOO. Its area is about ninety acres, and Hum boldt believed that the supply is inex haustible. Had tho importance of its product been known, as it is now, in tho manufacture of Trinidad asplmltum, Cochrane’s family would be the richest in the ranks of the Scotch nobility.— Pittsburg Times. I’olltem*** Charged For. “Good morning, children," said a suburban doctor as he met three or four little children on their way to school, “and lrow are you tills morn ing?” “We dursn't tell you,” replied the eldest, a boy of 8. “Dare not toll rue!" exclaimed the doctor; “and why not?” " ’Cause papa said that last year it cost him over S2O to have you come in and ask us llow we were.”—London Tit-Bits. A Far Off Star. It is difficult to conceive that the beautiful dog star is a globe much larger than our sun, yet it is a fact that Sirius is a sun many times more mighty than our own. This splendid star, wliich even in our most powerful tele scopes, appears as a mere point of light, is hi reality a globe emitting so enormous a quantity of light and heat tliat were it to take the placo of our own sun every creature on this earth would bo consumed by its burning rays.

There is a clerk in one of the depart ments named—well, call him Smithe, but that’s not bis name--who is noto riously close fisted, and was never known to pay a debt unless actually forced to do so. Seeing a neighbor the other morning going downtown, Smithe hailed him: “Say, George, as you'll be on the avenue today, would you mind look ing in at tlie express offleo and see if there is a small package there for met” “Not at all. I’ll be glad to oblige you.” So George called and found a small box for Smithe, on which there was due twenty-five cents. It struck him at once that liis economical neighbor would probably be short a quarter when he handed him the package, and he might then perform the feat known as whistling for it, so he left the box and went home. Passing Smithe’s house, that worthy was waiting for him. “Well, George, did you find anything at the express office?” “Oh, yes,” said George. “There was a package for you marked C. O. D., twenty-five cents, so I gave them your address and it’ll be along directly Fine weather we’re having.”—Washing ton Post Dinner Parties In Parisian Home*. Dining at a Parisian table strikes the observer, or rather the diner, as a very different affair to a similar event at an Knglish board. It is quite an error to suppose that Frenchmen invariably dine at cafes, as some of the inex pterenced undoubtedly do Imagine. Dinner parties at home are quite as fre quent an event In Parisian circles ns elsewhere. Society In general may not be as gay there as it was once upon a time, but If there is less dancing them is moro eating and drinking than ever. Kven at dances the feasting plays a more important part than formerly. A hostess can no longer bid her guest to partake of a cup of tea and a brioeho. The sandwich and tho verre do Bor deaux of old are not now deemed sufficient to sustain tho strength of daiicer* through a long evening. It is now a recognized tiling in Paris that if you invite people to your house you must entertain them hospitably, and a dance now entails a supper with cham pagne, rich viands, fine fruits and deli cate confectionery.—Paris Letter.

I can get things there and father pays for them, you know; so I saw this and I got it Rather neat, isn’t it?”—New York Sun. Sliak«‘Hpcar«*H IlappieHt Comedy. It is pleasant to find a play in which that learning which leans toward |«s dantry has so little to make. “As You lake It” is Shakespeare’s happiest com edy, most equable, least boisterous, richest in the music of Amiens’ bird like songs, heard hi tho enchanted for est of Arden. This makes amends for “Measure for Measure.” Hero we have the gentle poet in his kindest humor; hero we meet tho dearest and most woman like of all his women, the merry maiden “so many fathoms deep in love.” Parting from her and her com pany we part from the friends whom we can never iniss, whom we can al ways rejoin, loves that can never be lost, and the joys of the golden world. —Andrew Long in Harpers. I'‘tint Temple of Vesta. Ovid tells us that the first temple of Vesta, at Rome, was constructed of wattlod walls and roofed with thatch, like the primitive huts of tho inhabit ants. It was littlo other than a circu lar, covered fireplace, and was tended by tho unmarried girls of the infant community. It served ns tho public hearth of Romo, and on it glowed, lin extlnguished throughout the year, the sacred fire, which was supposed to have been brought from Troy, and the con tinuance of which was thought to be linked with the fortunes of the city.— Chicago Herald.

Strictly speaking, stockinet is not a cloth, for it is not a woven fabric, but a knitted texture. By a process of knitting, and not by weaving, the in dividual threads of which a stockinet fabric is composed are interlaced into ono regular texture. The work is per formed in a kind of a frame or loom, in which the yams are arranged in par allel order, at uniform distances apart, as in ordinary weaving. Of course the macliine is automatic In its movements and capable of pro ducing n great length of cloth In a very short time. The fabric thus formed is ornamented with a fine ribbed pattern, similar in diameter to that seen in common knit ctCuls This article gen erally liandlcs soft, full and clustic, but lacks tho:*; valuable characteristics of strength and firmness of texture or make which obtain in a woven cloth proper. The difference between the structure of this fabric and tliat resulting from weaving warp and weft yarns together may be illustrated as follows: Take a sample of «tocfej r! ,.t cloth and try to withdraw a threat! and what is the re sult? The whole construction Is un raveled. Next submit a loom product to a similar examination and it will be found that if a longitudinal or warp thread is removed tho transverse or weft threads will remain, while on the other hand, if the latter are withdrawn, tho warp threads will, although the texture may he partly destroyed, still remain to a certain extent undis turbed. Again, the manner in which a knitted fabric is constructed limits the designer to one class of weave effects, these be Ing of u stockinet character, whereas the principles of weaving are of such a description as to admit of unlimited change or variation in design.—Dry Goods Chronicle. The Literary Market. There is no doubt about it that there is a crying demand today in the offices of book houses and magazines for good literary work. Tho authors who can l>o counted ugion to do really good work am kept busy -so busy, in fact,, tliat 1 know several who cannot fill their ordersand are refusing all new overtures. And these an; not writers of fame cither. They an; men and women who have an accurate idea of what tho good part of tho reading pub lic wants and have tho brains to sup ply it. For such literary workers there is an abundance of room. It is not a question of reputation; it Ls entirely one of correctly filling a want. Anil that young author of to day is wisest who first ascertains what is needed and then tries to supply it, instead of the reverse, as thousands are doing today and missing fire. The liest literary training for the modern young writer Ls that which teaches him the demand rather than the supply. That Ls one class for which literary success is almost ccrt;iin. —Edward W.

The anxiety of the public to travel at headlong spr-ed is doubtless at the bottom of injury of the railroad acci dents now of dally occurrence in all parts of the country. Travelers are not content with thirty and forty miles an hour, and seek for trains tliat will make fifty and sixty.
