Mme. Patti, like many of her sisters in r.rt, is as brilliant in conversation as sho is gifted in song, and is wont to enter-tain her guests at Crni(r-y-no- s with many cuccuotes of her early life. Long before the could fipeak, tho diva declares, she was ablo to sing all tho aire which sho hud heard her mother rehearsing with tho director cf tho opora, and so correct was her ear that she could detect tho slightest falsity of intonation. and showed her displeasure by tdiaking her head at tho delinquent. and presents a gorgeous appearance, on the top of the bedstead is a coronet sup-ported by a canopy. One side is inclosed in a massive brass rail, and upon this the owner's monogram is worked in brass and pearl. The whole, with the blan-kets, quilts and linen, cost more than the residences of hundreds of less fortunate people. Another remarkably handsome brass bedstead seen in a swell Fifth avenue mansion had the most elaborate hnm- - mered work on the entire top and sides. Gods and goddesses, little cupids and all the birds of the air were represented in great, numbers. This, too, bore a crest and monogram, and cost the in-dulgent papa of tho owner a small fort-une. Then there nro bedsteads formed of various and expensive woods, richly in-laid with pearl and brass. In fact, there is no end to the variety of styles, and furniture dealers are apparently giving most of their attention to this new de-mand on the part of Miss Manhattan. New York Letter. I'lanU for Winter. A pretty plant for winter decoration is a healthy young mignonette, which, when properly clipped and pruned, as-sumes a vigorous, treelike sliape, ami blooms freely all tho winder. Another excellent choice for a flower lover whose spaco is limited is a handsome coral be-gonia. This plant, when allowed plenty of room, has a lieautiful shape and blos-soms tho year through. Its foliage is almost perfect in color and form, and, if watered once a week with diluted am-monia water, the greens are unusually rich, and contrast finely with the dainty ' coral blossoms.

It has often been claimed that domestic hosier' is not as well shaped or made as the for-eign, but there is at loa;--t one firm here si lling beautiful examples of silk hose made in this country. ' It is a poor fixit that won't shape its own stocking," but nothing will make a thick seamed stocking comfortable. Al-ways darn black hose with fast black darning cotton, as tho others soon turn green, as do, unfortunately, many so called fast bhfk hose. Ladies are wear-ing tan, gray and tartan hoso with dresses to tnntch, and somo very pretty black silk hose have colored tops, heels and toes.

C'liryMintliemnnifl Gron-in- In Favor. Chrysanthemums are now very much in favor among swell women. They aro brilliant in color and contribute a pleas-ing and decorative effect to a woman's costume. The yellow ones, which are very yellow indeed, are the most highly prized. Some of the large ones are priced as high as $1.50 each. The florists say, however, that the largest chrysanthe-mums in this country are very small compared with the chrysanthemums in Japan, which oftentimes attain the size of an American sunflower. Tho chief objiH'tion to the uso of chrysanthemums heretofore has been that the odor of them is not at all pleasant. Yankee ingenuity, however, has been at work on the problem suggested by this objection and some flower dealers have able through the use of chemicals applied dirvctly to the growing plant to achieve a flower which is odorless or al-most so. It has been not nnnsual in the flower trade, it is said, to add perfumo to flowers occasionally by dipping them in some fragrant essence, but tho chrys-anthemum case is the firvt case of flow-ers going through a process of deodoriza-tion- . Exchange. I Women a Court Stenographer. A dispatch from Montreal says that several members of the Canadian bar have objected to the appointment of Miss Grace Eaton as official stenographer at the court house on the grounds that thero is a great deal of evidence taken before the courts which is not fit for women's ears. Several of tho Chicago judiciary were visited and their opin-ions asked as to whether this objection was well sustained. Judges Dlodgett und Walter Q. (Jresham were found to-gether, and said they could see no rea-son why a woman should not perform tho duties of stenographer. "There are too many cases, of course," said Judge Blodgett, "where the is not even fit for men's ears, but if a woman enters the arena of labor she must take chances on having her sensi-bilities shocked. It is recorded that in some cases where the evidence was of a particularly racy character the court room has been cleared of all women, in-cluding t any female officials there might be about, but these cases aro rare." Con-tinuing, Judge Blodgett, who also spoke for Judge Oresham, said: "The official stenographer of our court Is a woman, and I do not remember that she has complained of the nature of the evidence which she was obliged to take down, and if it was not exactly fit for publication she no doubt reulized that ' it was simply a matter of business, noth-iin- g more. I think on this matter our Canadian coufreres are a little too sensi-tive." Chicago Tribune. A home for women teachers was opened hist fall at Dresden, (feriuany, in a building of its own.

Harper's Bazar. The Cure of the Throat. This is the time of year when school children liegin to tie silk handkerchiefs sV.r.r.t the throat. It is not well to do this, if one can possibly do without the mufllinr. for if once liegun, it must be carried through the entire season, or colds will result. Then, too, covering Hie throat is apt to make it sensitive. Tho muscles of the throat can bo strength-ened by reasonable exposure. But sing-ers and speakers should always cover the throat after singing or speaking, when going into a cool room, or into the open air. A light bit of lac?, or any open work covering for the neck that will admit of ventilation, is tho best protection.

The evolution of the institution of marriage was represented throngh its various stages, from the marriage by cap-ture to the imposing modern celebration of the rite. Tho first tableau was the seizure of the Sabine women by the early Romans. Next was the "Marriage Market of Baby-lon," with thirteen pretty girls on the blocks, tho auctioneer singing their praises and tho nobles examining them all critically. Following this was the Indian ceremony, represented by the marriage of Pocahontas and John Rolfe, and next camo the Japanese weddiug represented iu gorgeous style. Then thero was tho Russian mar-riage, copied after Makowski's famous picture of tho wedding feast. The hus-band is in tho act of saluting bis timid bride, who shrinks from the jokes and laughter of the guests at the table. Kelt camo the Dutch marriage, copied from Tomer's celebrated painting en-titled "A Peasant's Wedding." In the background tho wedding guests are rlancing, while in front stand the happy bride and bridegroom, the husband half embracing his wife, who accepts it bash-fully and awkwardly.

Thn pupils in tho Philadelphia School of Practice are rebelling again st an al-leged outrage p"ipetrated by Miss Hall, the principal. It seems that somo days ago that lady issued au edict to the ef-fect that no pupils in the school at e to wear bracelets. There was a vigorous protest from the larger girls, bnt Miss Hall carried her point, and all but two pupils yielded. Tho parents of thes two girls raised such an energetic storm of disapproval that their effspriug ore still permitted to dazzls their mates with a display of the oiT.Maents.

Being forbidden, they aro naturally tho most desirable things in the life of tho school girls just now. Being asked tho re,u(on for this edict. Miss Hall explained that she thinks bracelets are unnecessary on the wrists of school girls; that they are noisy und interfere with writing and other hand work.

I met otio farmer near Holyoko driving his cow home from the pasture on a bicycle that is, tho man was on a bicycle and the cow was ahead of him on foot, though she looked as if she would appre-ciate a bicycle, too, as ho was speeding her along on a rather lively trot. I stop-e- d him and asked him if there was any show for a farmer to make money in that section, and while tho patient cow leaned against a tree and caught her breath he replied that there was none whatever. His grandfather had made money ou the farm, he said, but he could not. Then he called to tho cow to "hump her-self," and went spinning down the road with the long suffering beast making desperate efforts to keep from being run over. It occurred to me that perhaps his grandfather did not pick the stones off the farm with a bicycle and a pair of tongs. Cor. New York" Tribune. Charles II.

A simple method has been devised by means of which, in tho midst of a busy workshop full of machinery in motion, any special noise, even though slight, can be distinguished and its origin traced. Tho apparatus consists of an ordinary India rubber gas tube about a yard in length; the length may, how-ever, bo varied to suit tho nature of the investigation. The tube is unprovided with earpiece or boll. One end is ap-plied to tho ear of the observer while the other is moved about in order to ex-plore the seat of tho irregularity. Since the froe orifice of tho tube is compara-tively small and is applied as closely as possible to the vibrating surface it prac-tically receives only those sonorous vibra-tions which are emitted by this surface. Those who have to do with machinery will find it especially useful for observ-ing noises due to irregularities in the working of small parts of machines, which may be either difficult or danger-ous to approach in any other way. New York Commercial Advertiser. Impure Ice. The Massachusetts board of health has examined 76 samples of water and 3:S6 samples of ice from 58 localities, with the result of showing that, contrary to general belief, ice iay be nearly as im-pure as the water from which it forms. The crystallization of tho water forces out tho color, salt, and most of the mat-ter in solution, and clear ice from pol-luted sources may be comparatively free from impurities and the probability of hiding disease germs. But in snow ice and ice formed by flooding the impurities become entan-gled, so that freezing gives no purifica-tion. The public is warned by tho board, therefore, that ice is unsafe for domestic purposes when obtained from a source polluted by sewage beyond that which would be allowable in drinking water, and that in general it is much safer to use for drinking water and for placing in contact with food that portion of the ice that is clear.

He took a watch from his handbag, and holding the face agahist his hand continued: "Now, then, yco see this watch? It is not going. The hands are sot to a cer-tain figure. The man who guesses near-est to that figure gets the watch. It is fifty cents per guess, and everything over and above expenses goes straight to the heal hen of Africa." ' ;.!'"--- ;' you know it will?" inquired a di milting Thomas. "Becauso I shall leave the sum with the landlord, to b. handed to any local jreacher he electa." Kighteen of us at once laid down our "halves" and recorded our guesses, and when tho last ono was in the little man he ld up the watch and announced the winner. Then he continued: "(Jentleuien, that watch cost $2.80 at wholesale. I have received 9. There appears to be a balance of $0.20 in favor 'f tho dusky heathen who ache for re-ligious comfort. But let us see. My railroad' fare was Si.20; dinner and sup-per, $1.20; two drinks, 20 cents; two games of billiards, 40 cents, and a cigar, 10 cents, making in all $0.15. Landlord, here is a nickel, and I charge you, as yon Hre an honest man, to see that it goes to buy tracts for our fellow men iu Africa. Rentlemen, good night." Now York sun. They Did.

Women ami Their X)oga la Paris. Women here, as in London, have an lnsatiabl; mania for carrying or leading by chain pug dogs of a!l degrees of ugli-ness. One afternoon, during a shower of ono was seen walking along tho Qnai JemmaiKS, where a number of workmen had just tiuished discharging a cargo of coal from a barge. Tho lady held in one hand an umbrella, with which she carefully protected from the least drop of wet en ugly littlo clog with a gorgeous blue ribbon round its neck. By her side trotted her daughter, n littlo girl about 3 years old, her shoes not so waterproof as they might have been, who, deprived of the protection of the umbrella monopolized by tho dog, was rapidly getting drenched. As she was about to cross the bridge which spans tho canal ono of the coal heavers went up to her and said, "Allow me, madam, to relieve you of j'our dog, ' so that you may cany your girl to tho other side." The woman accepted the offer, but when tha party arrived at tho other end of the bridge the coal heaver threw tho pug into tho canal, telling its j mistress at the same, time, "That's a It s- - son to you not to shelter a dog while. your child is getting wet." The woman screamed and soon a crowd collected, to whom she pathetically nar-- ' rated the assassination of her pet. Two j policemen at her instigation took the coal heaver to the station, but the super- - intendent declined to formulate any charge against him. All she could do, he told her, was to bring a civil action i for ho value of her dog. She left the j fetation "apparently much dissatisfied with the decision." Paris Cor. London Telegraph. j Tdngh Sola. Mrs. Custer reports a story related to her by a . frontiersman which may b taken as an amusing illustration of . very solemn truth. The te':'-e-r of the story had stopped at a cabin to get h supply of milk. The family consisted of a mother pnd several ''strapping daughters." As the traveler sat by the tire the shriveled old mother bent over the fireplace puffing at a clay pipe, perfectly stolid and silent, till one of the girls came in and stood at tho fire trying to dry her homisspuri dress. Without raising herself, and in a drawling tone, the mother said pres-ently, "Sal, there's a coal under your fut." In no more animated tone, and with-out even moving, the daughter replied. "Which fut, mammy?" The girl had run barefoot all her life over the shale and rough ground of that country, and the red hot coal was some time in making its way through the hard surface to a sensitive tissue.
