Society Lady's Unfortunate Mistake.
A prominent society lady of Washing
ton, who shall be nameless In this, sketch,
went to the Japanese legation to borrow
a handsome courtbAWl from Mme. Kukl'
She readily obtained the desired garment
a very costly affair and afterward had
her photograph taken with the 6hawl
gracefully thrown over her shoulders.
When she took it back to Its owner it is
only fair to presume that she did not know
that to Mme. Kukl the shawl wasf no
further value, and that she herself would
probably receive it as a present.
The Japanese do not believe In wearing
garments which other people have donned, j
and so she presented It- to the borrower.
The latter is now congratulating herself
upon her good luck, unconscious, perhaps,
of the fact that the donor has not recov- j
ered from the surprise she felt when the
borrower made the strange request. Had
the lady known more of Japanese customs
she would not have asked for the shawl,
which to the Japanese could not be viewed
in any other light than that of lack of
good breeding, but such Instances are '
common in Washington. Cor. Cleveland

A Few Words Concerning Ventilation.
Lack of pure air in dwellings is a direct
result of our advancing civilization, a re
sult, we should say, that now bids fair
soon to be a thing of the past. Until re
cently the main object in planning houses
ha3Teen to make them as nearly air-tight
as possible. They protect their occupants
better from the vicissitudes of climate than
those of a century or more ago, but they
also give them almost no ventilation. They
give more comforts with less healthful
surroundings; luxury at the expense of
purity o lung food. A dwelling made
tight enough to keep cold air out will
also keep foul air in, unless some contriv
ance to allow it to escape is also used. The
houses of our ancestors, being less tight,
allowed a free passage of air out and in,
and their occupants were exempt from
many modern diseases that we now know
to be due to confinement in the foul air of
close rooms. In this respect our fore
father were better off than we are. Hall's
Journal of Health.

The Farasol Ants of Trinidad.
A resident in the West India isle of
Trinidad noticed on one occasion what
seemed to be a broad band of leaves mov
ing across the path. Closer inspection
satisfied him that they were swarms of the
parasol ants, so destructive to tropical
plantations. Theywere traveling in a
column more than eighteen -inches wide,
and, as each ant. carried in its mouth a
piece of leaf which entirely covered its
body, they resembled as the observer de
scribes it a "Liliputian grove In motion."
Their number seemed to be inexhaustible.
These little insects their industry not
withstandingare great pests. Nothing
can turn them from their course, and.
though a man may kill them by the
thousand, enough will yet remain to make
him repent his rashness. A swarm has
been known to strip a fruit tree in one
night Philadelphia CalL
The Commerce of Ste. Barbara.
The commerce of Ste. Barbara ap
parently consists chiefly of trade in coffee,
hides, and Indian corn brought in nets
holding about two bushel of ears each,
slung over pack-saddles on mules. Sar
saparilla and deer skins are often seen
coming in, and wheat flour from Cali
fornia is In constant supply. The depart
ment is rich in mines, but the precious
metals make little show, and therefore
are not often much noticed by the traveler.
Fruits and vegetables from the forests and
mountains are staple articles of trade, but
unless one osks particularly for them they
will not appear on the table. Plantains
and bananas have heen especially notice
able for their absence, yet there are plan
tations of plantain and bananas in nearly
every valley and on many a mountain
side. Honduras Cor. Chicago Times.
Denmark and Imitation Butter.
A law enacted in Denmark compels all
all makers and sellers of adulterated, imi
tation and bogus butter to pack it In ellip
tical tnbs, conspicuously marked "marga
rine,'' and punishes infractions of the law
by a fine of from 200 to 2.OQ0 kroners (154 to
tZAO.) The enactment was forced by the
agricultural element of the country,
despite the opposition by the bogus, butter
people. Chicago Herald.
A Covering for Cotton Bales.
A recent Invention of a sheet iron cover
ing for cotton bales is exciting some at
tention in the south. The covering can be
used agai and again until it is worn out.
If the invention proves to be successful it
will be of great value, as much cotton Is
burned while in transit, and several
pounds from each bale is lost In various
ways. Chicago Herald. .
Some Slang American Phrases. "
In the distribution of slang American
phrases "Do tell" and "I want to know"
are confined to New England. "Is that
so," or a lengthened "indeed," is to the un
refined American what "so" is to the
German. It is capable of conveying a
dozen different meanings. Chicago

SCIENCE.
There is prvhaps no subject extant
in which we should be more interested
and no subject trehaps that we know
less about than Science; or if we do
know, none that receives less commen
dation for the grand mission and im
mense work fihe is performing in the
world. A great niny know Science
only as the time bonorod opponent of
B illical religion aud tLat : is not
knowing at all. For tho empire of Sci
ence is literally boundless, it is not -only
the groundwork fostering nurse
of modern education, but a dweller in
and a co-worker with all things. Sci
ence tells us many new and strange
ttrngs, she r;oes"down into the earth
and discovers its treasures and its age.
She soars into the realms of the air and
tells us of things we never knew, sbe
walks en the bottom of the, sea mid
corals and pearls and gems of rare Splen
dor; and returns with knowledge' of
things we never dreaned of, she trav
erses the broad Llanos and Pampas
and Sylvas neath a toritl sun. The
steps of Asia, the desert sands, the
sounding aisles of a boundless forest,
she tells us of wondsrs of tha fauna and
flora of every zone; she floats upon the
pinions of the bird of paradise, she
folds herself in tho jessamine bud in
vernal vales by the tide of laughing
waters, in desert wastes where the dead
ly simoon howls; she is leaving her
land marks in Lebanon caves, on Si
nai's steep ner footprints, on Jordan
and Genesaret, and writing her name
on tho walls of Jerusalem. She is del
ving beneath the ruins of Baalbec, of
Palmyra, of Memnon and of Thebes;
sheis plowing up the records of nation
alities lost in the ruins of time. In
short she is doing a grand part in roll-;
ing back the dark pall of ignoianceand
making plain the ways of the dark un

have all died whete their funeral dirce
was chanted by the cold winds that
moaned around the lonely icebergs of
the frozen north. Lieut Delong has
written his last scientific record with a
frozen hand, a hollow voico will ride
upon tho frozen blasts through the icy
corridors and twilight gloom of a frozen

O science how time to thy cause ate thy
ministers, their deathless names shall
be inscribed on the naming front of the

"Science will conquer:" hail to science

the belief that the North and the
