France Did Fancy Work. During the old regime in France, about which so much glamour remains to us, the very men who wero living and making the history of ti e empire of Louis passed their leisure time in a way that seems to us of today utterly ridiculous. In all the fancy work on which ladies employed themselves the men seem to have taken part. Poinsinet iu one of Iiis comedies

represents a young marquis entering a room where two fair damsels are embroidering. One is working

a puve ot Uress trimming, tue other a Marly llounce. The beau examines the embroidery with the eye of a connoisseur, points out here and there the specially good touches and is too polite to notice any defects He takes a little gold tube out or the pocket of his richly decorated waistcoat and selects n dainty gold needle. He goes to the frame at which OidalUe is working and fin

ishes the Uower which she had be gun. From her he moves to the sofa and, seizing one end of the flounce, assists Ismene, to whom he pays special attention, to complete

' Why Elsie Was Sent to Bed. j While little Elsie's elder sister, ; May, was entertaining her latest acI quisition, a most dignified and pen-

teel young man, in the parlor Elsie j

; was relegated to the dining room to i play with her doll. This particular one, the possessor of a kid body and a bisque head, had

been somewhat ailing of late, owing

to the fact that its head was gradt ually becoming detached and its 1 pivotal eyes refused to perform j their functions of opening and

ciosmg. Alter considerable probing for the cause of the trouble Elsie made the discovery that there

was something inside of it and final

ly succeeded in extracting a large roll of tightly curled hair. A moment later she burst into the par

lor in a great state of excitement

and shouted: "Pity sakes! Xo wonder Dorothywas sick! Look what was- in her stummick ! She must have swallow

uazette. Second Thoughts. 'It cannot be," sighed the maid. "I respect you highly, Mr. Hunter, but we are incompatible." "Well, I suppose it cannot be helped," the voung man replied,

j pocketing his chagrin and looking

about for his hat, "but it defeats all my cherished hopes. I had planned a house in which I fondly imagined we might be happy. It was to have had a pantry twice a3 large as the ordinary size, with a roomy closet in which to stow away the new cooking utensils and things that a woman naturally buys when a peddler comes around." "Stay, George," she said, faltering. "Perhaps I have been too hasty. Give me another day or two to think it over. It is not impossible

i that that"

Kinglake Stories. Kinglake, the author of "Eothen," was afflicted with gout, and he had a fancy to try a lady doctor and wrote to one to ask if gout was beyond her scope. She replied, "Dear sir, gout is not beyond my scope, but men are." It was Kinglake who uttered one of the neatest of mots on the peculiar character of the Times. Ho had little fondns for that journal, in pite of personal friendships which

I raigtit nave been expected to soften I his views of the question. The pa- ; per was still to him a sort of jugcernaut, irresistible and fateful. On I seeing the announcement of the new editor's marriage he exclaimed "Heaven! That brings the Time? I -ablatio with humanity I"

At this time it was the custom of the ladies invariably to carry their workbags with them to the evening receptions, in which they had not only their embroidery materials, tyit the Inst novel, the popular songs, their patch boxes and rouge pots Gentlemen also carried deftly embroidered little bags into company, which held "a whole arsenal of cutlery and fancy articles, such as boxes of different shapes filled with lozenges, bonbons, snuff and scent!'' At another period the fashion of the day was to cut out drawing from books and pamphlets and to paste them on screens, lamp shades, boxes and vases. The skill in this was to so arrange the drawings or parts of ditferent drawings as to produce a curious or amusing effect. Then there came a season when all the rage was for charades and riddle, which gave a peculiarly good opportunity to exercise the light and rapid wit so conspicuous in the French. Every evening the drawing rooms were converted into impromptu charades. Some lady would suggest a word or phrase, and forthwith it would be converted into the subject of a sprightly little play. Many of the word games now current with us in America had their origin in the necessity the French ealons were under in the last century to divert themselves. In some of the salons the fashion of keeping a daily chronicle of news, which was too often a mere chronicle of scandal, was adopted. Mine. Dou

blet de Persan issu-i bulletins which she called "nouvelles a la main." In her apartments two registers were kept, one of the authentic news received here and there by her guests, the other of floating rv mors and on dits, and from these the budget of her chronicle was made up and circulated throughout France. Appleton's Magazine. Telegrapher's Cramp. An interesting feature of telegrapher's cramp is that certain letters are nearly always the stumbling block. The most frequent are C and Y that is, the code signals used for these letters. When a sender begins to be "conscious" about so common a letter as C his case soon becomes hopeless. Another form of cramp attacks the receiver of the message. It takes the form of inability to write fast enough to take down a message quickly transmitted. This is easily understood when it is remembered that a receiver often has to write continuously to code dictation, so t speak, for hours at a time. The strain involved is enormous and leads fairly commonly to what is practically a form of nervous breakdown. Dundee Advertiser.

returned to his native town after an absence of many years, "became of Ed Ferguson r" "Ed? Oh, he's doin' fine. Got the best livery stable anywhere around here and runs the depot hack." "Let's see! He had a younger brother, hadn't he?" "Yes Lcm. He never amounted to much. Wrote poetry and painted pictures. I guess the family kind of disowned him. At least he went away several years ago, nnd I dunno what ever became of him." Chicago Tribune. His One Chance. Mother (coming swiftly) Why, Willie 1 Striking your little sister!
