He has dug up a consider able amount ot curious information. Here is one scrap of It: I have mentioned -an anticipation of Edison's phonograph. His klnetoscopa or vitascope, "was not only foreseen by George Du Maurier, eight, years In ad vanoe of its actual date, but that artist predicted that that wizard would invent a machine which would - do for light waves what the phonograph did for sound 'waves. His prophecy, sppeared in "Punch'r Almanack for J8T." In .18S Edison described tha new ' invention on which he had been at work since 188?. "My intention is to have euch a happy combination of electricity and photo graph that a man can ("It in his own parlor and see 'reproduced on a screen the forms of the players in an opera produced on a distant stage, and, as he see their movements, he will hear the sound ot their'1 Voices as .they talk or sing; or laugh. ' "When, the machine is per fected, which It wil be long before it can be exhibited at the Chicago fair, each little muscle Of the singer's face will be seen to work, his facial expression, with Its every change will be exactly repro duced, and the stride and positions will be natural and will vary as do those of the person himself. That Is only part of what the machine wilt do- To the j sporting fraternity I can say that before I long It Will be1 possible '-."to apply this system to prise nguts ana ooxing esnim tions. The whole scene, with the com ments of. the spectators, the talk of the seconds, the noise ot the blow, and so on, will be faithfully transferred." Vest and Curamiiigs' Violin Duel "Sitting one night in -Chamberlain's Hotel, in Washington," said Amos J. Cummlngs, who' has just resumed his seat-in Congress, "were John A.Hen. the Mississippi wit; Senator Vest, and sev eral other men of more or'leaa national distinction, when the conversation turned upon violin music. Vest te noted for his skill with the horsehair bow, and the upshot .of the discussion was that he challenged me to a duel on the violin. "I sent a, servant around to a pawn shop and got an instrument which looked as if it had been used to bail Out a boat. Vest had a 'Strad.' o a Guarnarlus, or an Amatt, and he played a selection by Vleuxtemps. 'it Was highly . classical and beautifully dona V' "I fucked my old fiddle under my chin and scraped away at: The Arkansaw Traveler I had not been playing for a minute before 20 feet were keeping time to the noise, and Several negro waiters were doing Jubas.

For a piBk lunoheoa use a white cloth with wide bands of pink satin, covered with white lace, forming a huge shallow square, In the center. At each corner of this put a glass tamp, -with a pink shade, in the cente Put a low bowl of pink carnations and ferns." At each end of the table put another gln lamp, each with a pink shade. Have the. candles pink, and place a loose bouquet ot flowers st each cover. , Serve caviare on toast as an appetiser. Aftt-r this oysters, with brown bread and butter, celery and olives. Then fish patties with cucumber salad and potato souffle. After this a grape punch ' served in small glass cups, made from Malaga grapes cut in two, soaked In sweetened water and muraschino and put on the Ice until frappe. Then serve 'broiled chicken with peas and sweet .potatoes cooked in Southern fashion, candied in brown sugar and wa ter. ' After this a salad ot grape fruit seryed with French dressing; then Ices Jn the shape of pink hearts.' with small cakes fronted In pink, and pink candies. . Then the coffee, served with cognac and sugar. THE POPULAR TRICORNE. The most popular hat of the year,' and, In fact, many years, is the trlcorne. It Is different from anything women have been wearing.' It is generally becoming, and, what Is more in Ms favor; it will not be common, because of its high price. All of these hats for spring wear are of tule. A beauty, slightly altered from a Caroline Roboux model, is In lit. tie ruffles of pink tulle. Round the edge is a double garland of pink roses. In the back resting partly on the crown and partly on the hair is a bow of black velvety ribbon faced with pink satin, caught with a pearl ornametnt. In blue with garlands of marguerites. . red with geraniums and white with, buttercups, these hats are extremely stylish. They are worn with handsome tailor-made gowns and with dressy frocks alike. MANY TONED CHAINS. . The exceptional beauties of the newest French jewelry, called art nouveau, pre really only seen on close inspection. Form does not predominantly, tell, for while the shape of every piece is strik ingly artistic, the beautiful soft coloring it is that bring a transport ot delight when, viewed nearer.

"It is no fun doing stunts rn IxmdoU," says W. C. Fields, the Juggler. "The cus tom over there, is to play in three houses at once; they' are arranged in circuits in that way. One goes first to one, does his turn, takes a cab to the next, performs and then goes oh to the third, in order. His appearances are timed, and he makes up once for all, every evening. But he generally only gets one salary for all three performances. That is because the houses are Jn circuit, and Jf be play the entire circuit, which comprises about 20 of htem, he can stay .m London about even monhts,, as he has a month at eacfi set, ' . In the provinces It is different; there they generally have two performances a night; one lasts. from 1 to 9. the other from 9 to U o'clock. This Is because there is a tax on matinees, and bo few are giv en. They .double up at night, and get two howa in the time we would give one. "But London and the Provinces, even the Continent, .ore ; full. Of American performers. There seems to be a dearth of good native talent over thea; most of their performers are eitner strong men or acrobats; - they eeehvto depend upon iis for sketches, and especially humor; they have none, I saw bills oyer there last Summer not only in London, but In Ber lin and other cities, ' hearty made up of Americans, and London fairly reminded me of New YorkdWi.many of ui, were there."

' la the opinion ot many, arma or armor are necessary -to give the finishing touch to the furnishing . of a easy corner of Oriental room, bet the cost of these dec orative adjuncts Is not within the reach of all who would have dens or cosy cor iters. 'Manufacturers have come to the. rescue of the possessors of slim pwrses by providing papier mache arms and armor Which are said to answer admira bly as substitutes for the genuine arti cles. They may be had in dull or bright finish, and If intended for wall decoration may bo easily adjusted. All that is re quired to keep them clean is to dust them with a damp cloth. Some famous suits of armor are reproduced in papier mache. WHJGS AND HOW. i The notion of serving grape fruit with rum at the beginning of a luncheon, is frowned upon by .gourmets. At the end of the-vfeast, it it has not appeared be tore, grape fruit au Maraschino is a do? slrable finish, but when it leads the courses should, be preferably served in Its natural state. For luncheon, too, oys ters on the ghelL are considered unsults ble, as 'being too' heavy, and are relegat ed always to - dinner service by those careful of detail in this regard. 10. pates or creamed In the chafing dish the oysters are acceptable for a course at th earlier meaL .

Snail touh ii better than eny nourishment In certain oases of anaemia. But there hi a wide market tor snails for quite anoth er use. They have long been employed irt oat-ot-the-way comers of this country for cleaning windows, and this use is now spreading to towns. The - erVatures are dipped into cold water and then placed upon ths pane. They erawi around slowly, devouring all foreign matte and leaving the glass quite bright and clear. They art, of course, used only tor upper windows not easily reached from- outside. Water snails also oommand : a ready sale. Almost every aquarium-owner keeps a few water snails. They are tbe best of scavengers and keep the place, as tidy as a new housemaid It you dig up a nest of tbe cbmmon brown ants, whose little mound-like homes are common all over English woodlands, you will notice, by putting your face a foot or se above the hill, a pungent odor arising This is sometimes strong enough to mke your eyes smart and your skin Angle. It Is the vapor of formic acid, the principle of ant poison.' This formic acid has the remarkable property of making plants grow more rapidly than any known fer tiliser. Market gardeners, therefore, are using large quantities of this mold, of which brown ant hills are composed. . As It is necessary to have it fresh, some are even keeping brown ants for the pur pose. . Another llttle-known use for ants Is the collection Of their eggs for fish food. During the late Summer a good many people make a living by gathering these eggs in the Surrey woods and selling them to London dealers. Fresh ant eggs are worth half a crown a pound. , Perhaps the strangest of all uses for ants Is their employment as miners. A species of Rock Mountain ant builds its nest not bf earth or wood, but stone, and prefers those most brilliant in colors, Miners of tea transport a whole nest of these Insects to some spot where garnet abounds.; and when they have built their homes alt the best crystals within a ra dius ot many yards are certain to be found in it. , H A war Of extermination is in progress against rats. They are denounced as the worst oarriers of disease and infection, and rewards are everywhere offered for their dead bodies. Yet even rats have their uses. When the electric cable has or any reason to be withdrawn from an underground , conduit there Is frequently great difficulty in threading a new one through the ; narrow pipe. To get over this difficulty a Hvt rat. Ja. caught, a threads fastened around Its bodv and the creature Is turned into the pipe. Once the thread is passed to the other end it s used to Pull a string, the string to pull heavy cord, and to this is attached the cable. Jflven mice have recently found a use. A Are broke out in a colliery at Dvsart. and after ' it was extinguished the air below was1 in so bad a state that it was most dangerous to. venture down. The usual expedient is to lower a candle, and if it burns to consider the mine safe. In this caso, however, the depth was 4oo great tar such an experiment, so. after some consideration a cage of live rats was procured, and these were lower ed down the shaft. They were pulled up alive from the first level, aud the men supposed all was right. Fortunately the overseer insisted on tnelr being dropped to the Jower level They came up suffo cated. Their lives undoubtedly saved a great many human lives. Who Said No Soul? I believe there ire men in this city who virtually have no "souls." Extract from a sermon. No soul.
