Hat* off to the philosopher who I indicted and put into print these happy thought*: We luve the man w.th the r,«e* on his tongue, the man who se-s the b\v’s dirty face, but mention* the bright eyes; who notices the shabby o<iat. but praises his studious habits; the man who sees all the fault*, but whose tongue is quick to praise and slow t>> I blame. We Ltoe to meet a man whose voice is fufl o f music of the birds; his handshake is an inspiration and his “God bless you" a benediction.

About a century ago a British army arder was issued forbidding officers to wrur eyeglasses or spectacles. But a shortsighted officer belonging to a erack cavalry regiment had no mind to resign his commission or stumble blindly. and he invented the single eyeglass. When called to account by the authority lie claimed that the monocle, being of the singular number, did not contravene tlie order against spectacle* and : ckisst-s tn the plural. Red tape accepted tills literal ren-4ering of the Inw. •ml. lo oming popular in the British army, the monocle was adopted by cL vlllan tetiu*. awßerwtitlona Parnell. Mis* Charlotte McCarthy, d.nitrh'cr of Justin McCarthy, told a curious story of Charles Stewart Parnell. “One | evening.” say* she. “Purnell was talking to tne at the coffee stage of dinner, ! and I. gazing nt him with raptnre, was j vaguely stirring mine and going to drink it when he said: 'You must rot < drink that.

WHEN FORKS WERE NEV How Their Ta* lm|<re*aed • !*• l ira! Time she Haw Them. A lady who bbw fork* used for the first tluie nt a dinner of Henry 111. of France word* her “Impression*" of tlte owaaiou. Henry bad In 1574 been tendered a magnificent lecvptlon in Venice. At thia entertainment fork* were u*cd. The royal guest ob«rrv«-d them with much Interest und lmm«Uotely introduced them to the French coun. !t reern* from the account of the lady. who hnd never need them before, that s :: e othc.a were In the sana predlcameiit. She writes: “They never luucLc*! the meat with their tl’uer*. but with fork*, which they larr iil to their mouth*, bending their t.i k* mid boCle* over their piutes. "There were several salad*. These they ate illtb forks, for it i* not con sldered proper to touch the food with the Ungers. However difficult It may be to manage it. it Is thought better to put the little forked Instrument In the mouth than the Unger*. “The artichoke*, asparagus, pea* and beaus were brought. It wa» a pleasure to watch tt*:u try to eat these with their fork! f« r some, who were les* adroit tl an the other*, dropped as tunny ou their plates and ou the way to the mouth as they were able to get to their mouth*. “Afterward a great silver bnsln and pitcher of water were brought, and the guests washed their bands, though It seem* as If there would not be much scent of meat and grease on them, for they had touched their food only with those forked lustniment*.” THE MISSISSIPPI. Immense Volume and Vary ins Mondi of it* Yellow Flood. -The Mtaiss:ppi river has ao tistible attraction for a tiersoa of Imaginative mind, but perhaps Its most impressive characteristic 1* the majesty with which it* turl, t yeltow tide sweep* along between the shares, impressive by it* sulieu murmur aad in | spiring awe by its liutueuse volume," auid a traveler. “The river is sublime no matter when ■ or where you view it. and one has only > to catch a glimpse of U»» yellow tlood , veiled by ruin or glistening in the sun shine, to tail beneath it* spell. At! times the river mores so smoothly and | peacefully that you are «imost lulled to i sleep by the gentle purring of the wa-1 ter. that constant eddying and washing i sound tbi t is distinctive of the Missis tippl.

The Cruelty of Pate de Fele Gra*. To eat pate de fol* gras is luxury but tc prepare the delicacy for the tabk 1* prolonged torture—for the goose. The HuTmuitarian league of England has issued a pamphlet on the subject. “W* behold," says an eyewitness, "innumerable gress in this torture chamber, bound fast to the table. They lie on their backs as if crudfled. We watched how the women pressetl some new victims against the tables so that the hinder parts skouid Lang over the edge.” Two months of torture for the goo-e are considered necessary before Its liver is sufficiently diseases! to be marketable. The fowls are fed to repletion with salted maize, and by this means the liver is increased to the nb normal weight of two or e.en three : pounds.

The frankfurter Zeltuug has discovered a formula for marriage. Nothing is more certain, it says, than that this formula is right. The question asked is what age should a man's bride bet The formula is: Let x be the man's age. Then x-j-2+"-=bride's age. For example, a man I* 34: the half of hl* age Is 17: then 17 plus 7 is 24. The bride’s age alioutu be 24. For a man of 34. therefore, the proper nge for his wife is 24. Take the man of <!0. x=CO a-2=3U+T. The man of CO must marry a woman o/ 37. For the Juvenile marrima-- of southern latitudes the formula is equally valid. The hot blooded Castilian, for example, of 18 wishes to marry. The formula says x=lß+2=O-r Ts=l(J. Hi* wife should he 10 years old. The K«’»e of n A curious example of how sharply the edge of a windstorm may he de fined 1* reported by the ei ptnhi of a bark. When off Valparaiso, the captain says; a whirlwind came along and pass<-d over the stern of the vessel. A great sea accompanied tlic wind, and every sail and movable thing on the after part of the ship was carried away. The forward part of the vessel was untouched by the storm, which passeil away In the distance, leaving a train of foam In its wake.
