The white veil will go floating down; And I shall bear the splendor meet, ' And wish it were my winding sheet. Ah me, ah me! They’ll twine white gems about my neck, Ah me, ah me! They'll twine white gems about my neek, And I shall give nd kign, no check. But well enough, I, too, shall reck] That dewy pearis are for my tears; The deadly opals for my fears, Ah me, ah me! They'll lay my prayer book in my hand. Ah me, ah me! They’ll lay my prayer book in my hand. While 1 shall calm and stately stand, And hear the organ pealing grand. And 1 shall neither faint nor fall. But live and smile on through it all. Ah me, ah me! They'll lead me to the altar rail, Ah mo, ah me! They’ll lead me to the altar rail. And my false lips will never fail, Ivor my false heart will ever quail. As I breathe o’er those words of old, And sell myself for love of gold. Ah me, ah me! An Appetite for Glass Several gentlemen were discussing the other evening at an uptown cafe the pe culiar appetites that museum freaks have lately displayed for glass. They were wondering if the sharp particles were di gested, and one of the party said that the whole thing was a “fake.” “Why,” said the knowing one, “the trick is ancient. I’ve seen it done hun dreds of times, and can do it myself. You don’t believe it, eh? Well to satisfy those of you who doubt tny veracity, I’ll do the trick. ” A very thin glass, of the kind in which seltzer is usually served, was brought, and the amateur freak called for a glass filled with water. While the audience, which had increased in size, was wonder ing what was to come next, the gentle man coolly picked up the thin glass and deliberately bit off a piece, which ho ■chewed with the utmost complacency. When it was reduced to the proper fine ness the performer picked up the glass of water and, to all appearances, washed down the rather unpleasant dish with apparently as much satisfaction as if the particles of glass were delicate bits of turkey and the clear beverage cham pagne. It was noticed, however, that lie did net drain the glass. Everybody looked at him in perfect astonishment and some of his friends, thinking it was an act of bravado which might prove fatal, wanted to send for a physician. “Never mind calling a doctor,” said the trickster, laughing heartily as the mystified expressions on their faces changed to looks of abject terror; “I'm all right, and now I'll expose the trick. Of course none of you believe I swallowed the glass, but the question is what be came of it. ’ ’ lie then took up the glass from which he drank, and, putting a haudkerehu f over another tumbler, poured its con tents into the empty receptacle. Wnen the straining was finished the handker chief held hundreds of fine jc.ilicles of glass. “Now you follows want to know how the small pieces of glass got into the tumbler, don’t you? “In the first place there !3 little danger in chewing the glass if one is careful, but it requires a good deal of practice to eject it without being detected. If you watched me closely you saw that when I put the water to my lips my upper lip was laid over the rim, and boforte I drank a drop all the pieces which were under that upper lip were almost at the Iwttom of the water. To be sure one must be careful not to swallow any of the pieces with the water, but that can be done by closing the teeth. The finer the glass used the less fear there is of its being detected in the bottom of the tumbler.” Several of the audience tried to do the trick, but gave up in despair when their tongues and gums were cut by the par ticles of glass. It is, however, becoming very popular for blooded young men to bite pieces out of their glasses, and the time may come when a piece of glass for chewing purposes may bo included in the bill for refreshments.—New York Even ing Sun. A Novel Neclttle. The manager of one of the large Chi cago wholesale houses in the line of gen tlemen’s furnishings, shows a novel necktie which he has just received from Texas. It is a rattlesnake skin, made up in the form of a four-in-hand tie. The point-rattle is set in the center of the ■outer fold—to serve the purpose of a tie pin. As it glistens and shows all sorts of shifting colors in the sunlight or gaslight it makes a very attractive, if not exactly conventional, tie. The owner says that it was sent to him as a sample, the sender saying that, as the stock of rattlesnakes in his country is inexhaustible, he can supply as many of these strange ties as the Chicago house may want.—Chicago News. Shoes of the Confederacy. Two ladies of our acquaintance, -wealthy and exclusive of the war. were years, through the great change 'in thfir fortunes, to find that their skill in making shoes, slippers and gaiters could furnish them with a modest in come. These shoes were constructed from old broadcloth coats and pants, A Broker’s First Fright. I have frequently been caught short on the market and seen myself within an ace of being ruined,” said a New street broker to a reporter; “but I was reallv scared only once in mv life, and that was during my first day in the street. My i j 11115 a in the office of an old friend of his. where I enjoved the lull confidence of my employer.* I had ' been working only a few hours when he handed me ten crisp £100 bills and told me to deposit them in an uptown bank. I put tho bills in my coat pocket until I bad finished writing up my looks and then took a car going up town. When I entered the hank and put my hand in my pocket the hills were gone. I can t describe my feelings, for t.ie simple reason that I hadn’t any. I felt myself turned to stone. Both in mind and 1 xxly I was stupefied. When I had collected myself a little I went out of the hank with the expressed intention of throwing myself into the river. I knew not where I went or what I was doing, but I found that I had re turned to the office. The broker was out when I got back. I was too numb to be agitated, and no one noticed there was anything the mat ter with me'as I put on my office coat and began poring over the set of books. It was not until I saw the broker coming in the door that I began to fully realize my position. I ran my hand wildly through my hair in a vain attempt to calm myself, and then absent mindedly put it in mj' pocket. The first thing I felt was the roll of bills. I had changed my coat and forgotten all about it. The broker chided me for not going to the bank, but he never knew why the money wasn’t deposited until the next day.”— New York Evening Sun, In Central California. Heretofore the eastern tourist has been accustomed to bear only of southern Cali fornia and its so-called semi-tropical cli mate, while scarcely anything has been said of the merits of the climate in cen tral California. To such an extent has this puffing of one portion of the state to the detriment of another section been carried that many of the eastern tourists now visiting the counties adjacent to the bay seem to be surprised that fruits of many kinds are grown outdoors until Christmas. Particularly is' this so in re gard to grapes. Some surprise has been expressed that the fine grapes on exhi bition at the rooms of the state board of trade should he found outside of Los Angeles and San Diego counties, whereas the fact is that the best grapes grown anywhere in California are produced out side of southern California, and those grown in Sonoma, Napa, Santa Clara and along the eastern foothills of the Sacra mento valley have never been surpassed anywhere. Another fact worthy of becoming known is that there ripen in Butte county, G'JO miles north cf Los Angeles, and at Los Gatos, in the Santa Clara vailey, some fifty miles south of San Francisco, the first orange crops of this season. They arc of fine quality and nearly two months earlier than the Riverside crops. In Santa Clara county some of the finest white Verdel, Tokay and black Ferrara grapes get ripe and ready for the table at Christ mas. In this same county strawberries and raspberries can also be bad up to the holidays.—San Francisco Alta. Three Book Fiends. The tall copy man, the uncut copy man and the wide margin man are about the most cranky of the bibliomaniacs. What they want nobody else would have. They are a trio of cranks of about the same class. Every time a book is pub lished, the publisher prints a few copiee which are longer than the regular edi tion. These the tall copy fiends seek. They like to stand a long book on a shelf alongside the regular sized book and gloat over the fact that they have a dif ferent kind of book from the common buyer. If a tall book of some rare edi tion falls into tlieir hands, they go into ecstacies of joy and bend all efforts to get a copy of the regular edition to stand alongside this book of bastard size. His brother in hobby, the wide margin man, is contemplated by the book pub lisher, who prints a half dozen books of an edition with abnormal margins to a page, and sells them for five times the regular price of the book. If the books marketed by a publisher are already cut. as the American publishers are accus tomed to do, he saves a few copies with the leaves uncut and sells them to the uncut copy man. This one is the worst crank of all. To him a book is only valuable as long as the leaves remain un cut in the folio. He does not buy a book to read. The standard authors mean nothing to him. If lie can get a copy of a first edition of Scott or Dickens, which no one has ever read, because the leaves have never been cut, he values it higher than all the books these novelists ever wrote. His idea of a book is one in which the pages shall be sealed from the eye.—Globe-Democrat. New Chronograph to Watch. The Parisian watchmaker, Schwob, has brought out a new chronographic watch (montre observateur) which is a marked improvement on the ordinary stop watch. The face is furnished with a second small dial, similar in size to the second’s dial. By touching a knob the hands of this dial, which is a complete copy of the large one, are at once replaced to 12 o'clock, and then continue their progress from that point. , This method is very practical, as it not only shows the time of commencing an obseiffetion, but infallibly determines its duration without the least trouble, all the observer having to do for this latter pur pose being simply to read the time indi cated by the small dial, and to subtract that time from the true hour of the large dial. This can all be done without exer cising any memory or making any note. We think the invention invaluable for making astronomical or other observa tions. The eye need not be even turned to the watch in touching the knob, which can be done in perfect darkness. A sleeper is suddenly awakening from a nightmare, or hearing a strange noise at night, and wishing to fix the time of the occurrence, need only press the knob of his watch and turn his head quietly round on his pillow, knowing that in the morning he will have the exact hour and minute correctly registered.—Watchmaker and Jeweler. Something About Dyspepsia. Chronic dyspepsia is a functional, not an organic, disorder. If the eye could look within the .stomach, in the latter case, it would see no explanation of the trouble, as in the case of organic diseases. At least five kinds of fluids co-operate in the digestive process: saliva, gastric juice, bile, pancreatic fluid and intestinal secretions. Indigestion, therefore, does not necessarily have its seat in the stomach. Two forms of it are specially recognized —gastric (that of the stomach) and in testinal. Each form has two prominent varieties: one in which the food is really digested, while the person has a great sense of discomfort; the other, in which the food is not duly digested, while the person has comparatively little suffering. In the first variety there is an abnorfnal excitability of the nerves of sensation. This is known as nervous dyspepsia. The more common causes of dyspepsia are excesses in eating, neglect of physical exercise, protracted anxiety, change from an active to a sedentary life, insufficient sleep, luxurious living. * No treatment can here be described suited to individual cases. The cmef tiling is to find out and remove the cause. An overworked stomach should be re lieved by giving it only the work which it can do easily, and by furnishing to it only that which is easily digested. Everything should be done to improve the general health. Change of locality and general surroundings is often a help. —Youth's Companion. A Viennese Holiday. The feast of St Leopold, the patron saint of Lower Austria, was kept as a close holiday in Vienna, and there was a total suspension of business. It is cus tomary on this day for the Viennese to make excursions to Klosterneuburg, where they drink the white wine for which that town and its famous monas tery are famed. The monastery boasts an enormous barrel which contains a fantastic number of hogsheads, and the fun of the'day consists for many persons in climbing to the top of this huge recep tacle by means of a ladder, and drinking the white wine ladled out through a tap at the top. Trains were running from Franz Josef’s station to Klosterneuburg every quarter of an hour, and over 1,000 ! carriages and cabs traveled to the old town by road. In the evening there was a grand and noisy return of roysterers, singing and shouting and reminding one somewhat of the return from Epsom on the Derby day.—St. James’ Gazette. Color In Dress In New York. When we come to the question of color in dress, as it appears relatively to the decorative tendencies of the New York street, we must look for its mainspring, in some degree, to American social con ditions. American women, as a rale, make more display of magnificence in the street than the women of any other nation. To them the street means a show, a parade, in which they play an The Chewing Gain Habit. Orders from manufacturers and drug gists have gone out in greater quantity than ever this year for “pure spruce gum.” The Maine forests is where the best gum is procured, and the lumber men can reap quite a little harvest if they can manage to get gum enough to fill* these very liberal offers. Gum chewing has become so fashionable that there is an unusual demand for it and it is one that promises to last. Reasons for this are that gum chewers believe that the chewing of the gum aids digestion and also whitens the teeth. The first reason sets elderly gentlemen to chewing it, and the latter makes the practice popular with women. One firm has made a for tune by making a candied chewing gum, which is sold by druggists, tobacconists, confectionists and at elevated railroads. The chewing gum habit has got away beyond the school girl, and there’s no telling where it will stop at its present rate of progress.—Chicago Herald. sively to street costumes. The use of brilliant reds in street gowns and hats having spread throughout Europe is now nationalized on American soil, and adds cheerfulness to life and landscape. hing change in the costumes hoopskirt wire dyed black. Toward the close of the war many of them sold for $30 and $40 per pair.—Jennie S. Judson. . The value of the various condiments in the preparation of combination dishes is j great. Used with discretion they stimu- j late tiie appetite and promote digestion, red pepper being specially valuable in this connection. The various herbs and spices are exceedingly valuable; salt is abso lutely necessary to health despite all con trary assertions of the food cranks, anu the condiments employed in making salads promote the digestion and assimi lation of all food eaten at the same time, —Chicago Times* „ . .. folio v many men are beginning to appear in public in colors that were until recently tabooed.—The Art Review. floi'k Bird of Africa. A missionary in .Africa was i.stoni-lied while walking in a wood to hear a clock strike, though no human habitation was within miles of the place. He discovered that the noise proceeded from a bird known as the clock bird and called by the Spanish the campanero. The bird gives a note*every few minutes wliich is identical with the sound of a striking clock.—Chicago Tune*, New Paper Articles. A number of new combinations in pa per are being made. One of the latest is a paper having a “middle” of tin or gold foil. The upper layer is made of waxed, and the under surface of common paper. This is intended for a variety of uses. A new sheathing paper Ls composed of two or more layers cemented together by asphalt, or some waterprof or disinfecting material. I don’t think that the asphalt idea is altogether new. A new cardboard is an interior layer or middle of paper made from an admix ture of pulp and animal hair. This is in tended to be an improvement on every kind of paper in which threads or yarns have been introduced.—Paper Trade Journal. A Novel Advertisement. A novelty in the advertising line is the “electric window tapper.” for the pur pose of attracting the attention of passers by to the wares exposed for sale. It consists of a figure, hand painted on zinc, eighteen inches high, which knocks on the window with its hand. It is sus pended by wires connected, with batteries that can be placed in the cellar or any other convenient place. The batteries which go with the tapper will run for six months, and the material for renew ing them can be had at any drug store for a trifle.—New York Pres*. R. D.
