Show Carnegie's English Residence. Buckhurst park, Earl Delawarr'a place in Sussex, which Andrew Carnegie Carne-gie has taken for the season, is a charming charm-ing spot near the sonth coast, only an hour by rail from London. The house, although modern, has many associations of antiquity. It stands in the midst of beautifully timbered grounds, and the vast park is 3tocked with red deer. Mr. Carnegie will probably find the estate a pleasant change from his usual retreat in the far north of Scotland. He may prolong his stay if he finds the new quarters to bis taste. London Standard. Stand-ard. In the Fashion. Mrs. Jackson Parke What in the world is keeping you up so late? Mr. Jackson Parke I am writing an article for the papers on "How I Killed My First Hog." These literary chaps, with their stories of how they wrote their first books, are not going to have the field all to themselves, not by a jugful. Indianapolis Journal. (" THE SINS OF FASHION. A Cincinnati Young Lady Couldn't Take the Sacrament Because of a Tight Veil. A most shocking yet ludicrous thing occurred Sunday morning in one of the leading churches of this city. A beautiful beauti-ful young woman was the person guilty. She was elegantly attired and wore one of those peculiar veils that fit closely close-ly over the bonnet and face and tie in a sort of hangman's noose under the left ear. After an eloquent and impressive sermon the bread in silver salvers was passed down the aisles by the members of the session. The Irdy who wore the curious veil took a piece of bread and tried to slip the knot at the ear, failing in which she vainly endeavored to put the morsel of bread under the veil into 1 her mouth, but she only drew the loop ' tighter. ( She blushed, grew vexed and tossed the typical fragment of bread carelessly into the aisle. The elder turned just in time to observe her, and the plate almost fell from his hands. Several other faces took on a horrified expression and then a smile. The fashionable young woman would have given her hope of heavea to have been able to retreat from those glances, , but quick as sho was after the service to reach the door she was not soon enough to escape the minister, who reprimand- ed her privately on the sins of fashion.
