ourls that are so very bothersome
while being made must peep out from

plan to have a number of larger ourls
flying about with the appearance of

NEW BIDE SADDLE.
A new variety of woman’s saddle
has made its appearance in England.
The pummels are much wider than
those of ohl. Much greater pressure is
given to the thigh, and a surer and
easier seat Is said to result from it.
Many women in the linbitof following
the hounds Iinve testified to die ad
vantage of the ohange. The saddle
weighs no more than one of the old
style.
MORE THAN SUIU’KISED.
Mrs. Eleznbeth Akers Allen once re
lated that the words of her song “Rock
Me to Sleep, Mother,” Imd been set to
musio long before she had ever heard
them sung, nnd that the ilrst time she
did hear the tune was from the lips of
a small street gamin. In astonish
ment she stopped short to look at him,
when he broke the spell from switch
ing off from the line, “No other wor
ship nliidgs or endures,” to blurt out,
“What lit-—are you staring at?”

The Politiesof Immigrants.
A study of tlie nationalities repre

country shows that a littlo moro
than 00 per cent, of tho wholo num
ber have come from Protestant
countries, and if wo should look
closely into the matter wo should
find that tho two. gle.it political
parties in tho United States absorb
equal proportions of tho total volume
of immigration. In a theological

off a slicV from tlio fronts of tbo

It is indeed a melancholy fact that
many comparatively well to do Ameri
can families fall into tho habit of pinch
ing the stomach in order that the back
may riot in jmrplo and fine linen. It
was told recently of a family who lived
in a brownstone front and made a groat
show that they invariably sat down to
half rations at their meals. The family
consisted of seven, while the butcher’s
nnd grocer’s bills showed that comfort
able provision was made for not moro
than four porsons. The consequence?
Why, that they were always quarreling
and fighting of course, tho result of
flaccid nerves and impoverished blood.
Tho poor, ill paid slave who used to
live with them and do tho work of two
slaves told this tale out of school after
her happy emancipation. “Why, bless
yer heart, ma’am,” she said to her new
mistress, who was helping her to make
the beds in the modest flat, “savin yer
prisence, they used to cut the bread that
thin that yon could seo through it, and
then count tho slices. They’d lock up
the loaf after, and yb’d git no more,
even if yon was starvin after a hard
day’s washin or liousccleanin. An,
wusscr nor that,” she continued indig
nantly, “they was that inane that they’d
sneak the bit o’ butther of? o’ tho table
and put on tho molasses when they see
me a-comin.” Living on these lines,
who among us could riot nfford to live (B

Superstition of tho Cuckoo.
In n celebrated French vomanco of the
Thirteenth century, published by Meon,
M. Ren art and hiswifo hoar tho cuckoo’s
notos early in tho morning as they
lie awake, talking and planning what
they will do and bo in the futuro that
lies before them. M. Renart thinks ho
would like to know how many years
will be given him in which to enjoy life,
so he implores tho cuckoo to toll him.
“Cuckoo, tell mo truth, how many years
have 1 to live? 1 wish very much to
know, cuckoo.” Tho cuckoo answered
promptly thirteen times. Then M.
Renart turns to his wife and embraces
her. “Did you hear?” ho asks. “Sir,”
said Mme. Renart, being a dutiful wife
and very respectful to her lord and*
master, “Sir, 1 hoard gladly, and de
mand you will kiss me.” “Danm,” said
he, “l am quite rejoiced.”—All the Year
Round.
IIU First uml Lust Time.
Romanelli, having heard wonders told
of tho skating rink, determined to go
there. Tho sight of bo many youlig
ladies and gentlemen gliding around in
all directions so gracefully and in such
apparent safety led him to believe that
Bleating was tho easiest and most natural
thing in tjie world. He suddenly made
up his mind, and after ordering a pairbf
roller skates ho took a 6tep^fdr ward nild
—bang—he dropped full> length on the
floor. Tho manager ran to pick him up.
“Is this tho first time you have put on
tho skates?”
“No, sir; tho last!” growled Romanelli.

‘ Jl VANILLA FLAVOR.
Th. Plant Grow. Naturally In Maalco,
but la Cultivated Eltewbere.
The vjmilla bean, which gives our
most popular and delicate flavor for
chocolajte and confectionery, cakes
and other choice edibles, is the prod
uct of ai species of orchids, the name
coming from the Spanish vainilla,
meaning a small pod. There ore in
fact several species of the plant
which givo a bean of more or less
value, though that which is most
prized, and which yields the standard
vanilla of commerce, is the vanilla
planifolia, a native qf Mexico, hut
which is .now cultivated in several
tropical countries. As it requires hot
weather and a good deal of it, this
orchid (cannot bo domesticated in
temperate regions.
The plant still grows naturally in
Mexico, and is also cultivated from
cuttings, for which purpose slips
from three to five feet in length are
employed. These ore sunk in the
earth to the depth of a foot, the
upper part being trained to some
support. Mexicans plant tho slip at
the root of a small tree, to which the
tendrils cling, but in othof countries
a rude trollis is tho moro general sup
port.
Tho cuttings take root within n
month, hut they do not bear fruit
till throe yonrs of ago, after which
they contimio to produco for thirty
years or more. The pods grow to a
length of from six to twelve inches,
nnd are about half an inch in diame
ter. They reach full sizo in n month
after formation, but require some
months for viponing.
When properly riponed (which is
shown by tho crocking of the pod
between the fingers), they are cut
off separately, placed in a heap un
der a tshedliko shelter till they begin
to shrivol, after which they are sub
jected, to a swouting and fermenting
process, which develops tho odor *f
the boon. Tho sweatiug is done by
exposuro to tho hot sun or to arti
ficial heat Lf 140 degs. during tho
day, and inclosing in an airtight box
through tho night.
This can bo accomplished in a day
oi’ two, giving tho fine brown color
desirable in tho pods, after which
they di e dri- 1 in the sun for about
two months. For marketing they
are tied up in packets of uniform
length nnd sizo. Tho manixmlation
somewhat in different locali-
;t the essential purpose re
mains tho same.—Newton Norton in

I min ou no Cost of Roman Fount*.
The amount of money often ex
pended by tho wealthy Romans on
their sumptuous meals appears fabu
lous. Vitellius is said to have spent
as much ns 400 sestertia (about £4,228
of our money) on his daily supper,
and the celebrated feast to which he
invited his brother cost no less than
4640,3501 It consisted of 2,000 differ
ent dishes of fish and 7,000 of fowls,
with other equally numerous meats.
His daily food was of the most rare
and exquisite nature—the deserts of
Lybia, the shores of Spain, the wa
ters of the Carpathian sea, nnd even
tho coasts mid forests of Britain,
wero diligently searched for dainties
to supply his table, and had ho
reigned long he would, observes Jo
sephus, liavo exhausted tho great op
ulence of the Roman empire.
By tlio vray, we wonder if theso
happy go lucky Romans over suf
fered much from indigestion. Of
ono thing wo aro certain—that in
order to render tho bridge from one
feast to another less tedious an occa
sional resold was bad to the pprsuiy'
. sivo powers ;pf ,an emetic..' The ex
travagance if&hsfefffraifeSviis indeed
so boundless that to entertain an
emperor at a feast, unless you wero
