ON APPEOVAIa 'AVhut on earth d'ye tH that thingr I aflked, poking; with uiy stick nt n hunch of grapes poisod nlrtly upon a lirnsa stand. 'That thing," replied ray cousin proud ly, "Is the very latest Parisian fashion In bonnet.'" I sank back into the little lounge that rait along the side of the room you couldn't insult anything so dainty with the name of "shop" and gazed upon ita ! owner with ah exclamation moro pro fane than appropriate. It must at once he confessed that the was a charming object to gaze at. There was au expression of wicked amusement in her large gray eyes, and the blaok gown she Btill wore in mourn ing for her husband poor Jack Hender son, who was killed in the Soudan set off the lines of her slender young ligure, and threw her golden hair and fair skin prettily into relief. "Pull yourself together, my dear boy," she continued, opening the door of an old carved oak cabinet, "andl will show you something that eren your; crude male intellect will appreciate. If yop don't say it's lovely Til rieYer let you in side the shop again. You may flatten your nose against the window, or stroll discsnsolately up and down the street in vain I No more chat, no more teas in the back room!" So saying, she lifted gingerly front the shelf a a large hat, and planting it upon her pretty head turned triumphantly to ward me. It was lovely quite lovely a sort of arrangement iu amethyst vel vet and feathers to match. Beiug only n miserable and ignorant male of course I can't describe it, but it was uncom monly becoming, and made Nina. look like n Oainsbororfgh picture. I told her so and gushed over it sufficiently to sat isfy her. "It's my own idea, shape and nil, und there isn't another like it in the world, I may poisiblj- copy it, but I'm not sure. It' depends upon who buys it. How 1 wish you were a woman, Hon aid!" she sighed regretfully, "and I would make you buy it for Ascot to-morrow?" "I wish I were, my dear. But why don't you go and wear it yourself?" "Gracious! and leave the shop for a whole day at this early stage of its ex istence? You guardsmen hare no more idea of business than a baby. No, I can't go; but I hope you'll havo a lucky day aud a good time, and Bonald dear, if you wtre nice you'd just look in one day Mxin and tell me what eort of day you had. Oh, and be sure you don't for get to notice what hats and bonneta jieo ple wore." I promised to do my best, and took my leave reluctantly as a largo and portly matron, gorgeously arrayed, and whose features unmistakably betrayed her Se mitic origin, sailed in and demanded a small "flower bonnet." Th.it woman in a flower lioiiuet! J hope, ioor soul, that Nina saved her from herself. "What are you going tp do this after noon, Bonald?" asked my mother, three days later. "I wM you to come and call with mo on, the randerdeckeus." "Can't, my dear mother. Promised to go and see Nina." A'iMoiiM ojVliss A'anderdeekeu, rich as Croesus, 'jgyixl m) deadly dnll, hastened my inurement, and I was. half way to Oxford street before my mother could call utn back. I found Mme. Destrier, as my cousin calls herself, jnst parting with H-ciistorner. The hat wax in her hand. "I've sold it," bhe cried gleefully; "just sold it to thai nice girl for five guineas. " "Awfully glad. I'm ure. But, my dear girl, I've u shock in store for you. I saw tho very model and marrow of that hat at Awsot the dav before yester day." "You couldn't, you couldn't! Who was wearing it?'' bhe cried sharply. "One of pur reigning professional liean tlos Lady Loddlngton." 'Lady Ixxldington!" gasped Niua, catching hold of the chair behind her. "ltouald, are you sure you aren't mak ing any mistake?" "I swear I'm not. She had on a frock the color of the hat, and the" looked sim ply ripping. 1 paid her all the compli ments I could think of in the live min utes I was talking to her." "The cheat, the swindle of it'J" cried my cousin, white with anger. "My dear girl, calm yourself! I'm sorry for you, but great minds, as you know, will jump, and some other clever woman has had the same idea as yon." Nina was past taking any notice of the insulting suggestion. She seemed thor oughly upset by the coincidence, and lookiHlaa if ue Were going to cry. . "Why did 1 ever go into business?" she cried miserably; "it's simply awful to get behind the uxm.es. like this and Bud out how mean women well bred womeu who ought to know belter can be.

Of titinw I said I should be glad to send it. and she gave me tlm nddretw, and the hat wear round there luat evening. Last night sho sent it back and said she woe very sorry, but Lord Loddington didn't think it snited her. I thought it looked Hlittle tnmbled, but one has to run thoee risk when one sends goods on approval. Hhe had de termined to have that hat just to wear for the one day, and she wim too mean to get it honestly." "Of course you'll have it out with her you'll expose her?" I said. I was as angrj- and dlgustrd as Nina, who stood opposite me, with her ptetty eyes and cheeks ihtmlug with honest in dignation. "My dear boy. I would if I dared, but I can't afford to. It would drive half my customers away from me, and I must think of Hugojmd Giles. They don't cost mueh while they are such tinies, but I want to give them every advan tage, the darlings, and I was left so bad ly off, and the husinetw is jnat beginning to pay so well. I daren't run the riek of exposing Lady Loddiugtou's meanness." "Ihad forgotten your children. No, I Boe it wouldn't do.. Trnst mo to give her a mauvuis quart d'heure, if I got the chance." "Promise you'll be i-arefnl. Think of the boysl" "I won't injnre.tho dear little chaps, you best of mothers." "Well, in that case, I only hope fort une may favor you." Fortune did favor me at lust, but she kept me waiting till the autumn, like the fickle jade she always is. My chance came in this wise: My uncle asked mo up to his place in Scotland for shooting, and I went. The old gentleman is a very connoisseur of licauty, and pvory pretty woman of note is bound to be asked up to D. sooner or later. I got there iu time to dress hurriedly nnd ap pear iu the drawing room juxt-as mj uncle waa telling every one whom they were to take in. I was introduced to some girl I haven't a notion who she was, but I gave her my arm and took h'&down to dinner, murmuring com monplaces on tho way. The truth is, 1 was lml f famished with my journey and my one idea was dinner. It was not till I was well on with tho fish stage that 1 looked at my left hand neighlxir. It wa Lady Loddington herself. "I haven't seen yon since wo met at Ascot," she remarked pleasantly. She certainly is a most lovely woman, by the way. I stared blankly, and she "went 011. with an air of well acted re proach: "I believe you have forgotten we cvet met there." Hero wns my chance; I seized it "Forgotten! AVhy, I remember every word you said, the color of your gown, and even tho very hat yon wore the loveliest and most Woming hat I ever saw iu my life." The compliment told. I don't lwlievo yon do," sho pouted. "TJpou my word I do. It was a sort of big affair of amethyst velvet and feathers to mutch. I remember it with doublo force because I made a cousin of mine quite ftiigrjMvith. the mere descrip tion of it. I dou't know if you have ever met her? She has gone into millinery, like everybody else. She calls herself 'Mme. Destrier.' " I looked Lady Loddington full in the face, and laid n jteeuliar emphasis on the nnme. I never saw any one so thoroughly caught in my life. I knew in a moment that she knew I knew, as Puueh would put it. She turned iierfectly scarlet to the roots of her huir, nnd then quite white, and didn't speak for at least a moment. Then she pulled herself to gether as only a woman can, and adroit ly changed the subject. But she has liecn monstrously civil to me ever since, much to tho surprise of my friends.

They were riding along tlirongh Germany when a Gerptan boy threw a good sized club out in the road to see them run over it. fjnfortunately, the club struck a wheel, broke out four or five spoktw aud caused a rider to take a header.

I rhrBh.U Dlmcverd, as lie Thought, Ilia F.slr.m nt Cold and Mamed It. j "Zero" is Ihe part of every thermom eter that is moat watched and dreaded I in this ithangeable climate of our. The I word is from the Spanish, aud means empty, lienca nothing. It was first used on a thermometer in 1709 by a Prussian i merchant named rahrettheit. From a boy he wa a close observer of nature, and when only 10 year old, in the remarkably ootd winter of 1700, he experimented by putting snow and salt together and noticed that it produced a degree of cold equal to the coldest day of the year. And that day was the t-oldest day that the oldest inhabitant could remember. Gabriel we tbo more struck with the coincidence of his little scientific diecor rry, nnd hastily concluded that he had found the lowest degree of temperature known in the world, either natural or artificial. He called the degree zero, and con structed a thermometer, or rndn weather glass, with n scale gradnating up from xero to boiling ioint, which he imm liered 'JU, and tho frwxing point 84. be cause, aahe thought, mercury contracted the thirty-second of il volume on being cooled down from the temperature "dJ freexing water to zero, and expanded one hntidred and eightieth on being heated from the freezing to tho boiling point. Time showed that the arrangement instead of lieing truly scientific was a arbitrary . the division of the Bible into vereee and chapters; and these two points no more represented the real ex treme of temperature tban from "Dan to Bears be bn" expressed the eract ex treme of Palestine. But Fahrenlteifa thormotneter had been widely adopted, with its iriean venient scale, and none thought of any better until his name Uxvimo an au thority, for Fahrenheit finally aban doned trade aud gave himself up to sci ence. Then habit lnade people cling to the established scale, as habit made the English cling to the old system of cum brous fractional money. The three conntries which use Fahren heit are Holland. Holland and America Russia and Germany use Baumer's ther mometer, in which the loiling point is counted bo tlegs. above the freexing point, trance u.w ttie centigrade ther mometer, so called because it makes the twilling point ion degs. from freecing point. On many accounts the centigrade sys torn i the best, and tho triumph of con venietieo will bo attained when zero is mnde the freezing point, and when the boiling point is put 100 or 1.000 decs. from it. and 'all the sub-divisions are fixed (leciinallr. If Fahrenheit had done this at first, or even tr ne naa made tt one of hi many improvements after the nubile ndonted his error, tho luck of opportunity, which was renlly his. wonh) havo seenred to his invention the patronage of tho world.

"Mr. Alderson," and few morn dis tinctly enough, but by the time he reaches the Cs ho lx'gin to telescope the title, nnd calls "M'ster Cannon." "M'ster Carter." and mi on. When he lirwi gone a little further he drop off some more, and it become " 'ster Fltcb."

With U10 progress of interior electric lighting and the gradual disappearance of gas illumination iu theatres, hotels aud private dwellings has eoino a new industry. It might almost bo culled an art, or at least an ally of nn iirt. for it ha engaged the attention of architects, and has called forth some of the best efforts of artistic designers. This new industry is the manufacture of electric light fixtures. Only two or three years ago it was in Its infancy. Today it has reached an importmice al most as great as electric lighting itself, and has attracted millions in invest ment. The gas chandelier is daily re ceding to give place to tho electrolier, and if the present rate of progress is maintained tho electrolier may bo seen in the dwellings of persona of very mod erato means. It may be the climax in the advance which mado tlie candle and the oil lamp give wav to gnsi Until 183 all the finer elnss of electric light fixtures were imported chiefly from France. American companies man ufactured .1 class of plain goods which Tailed to -satisfy tho wealthy, and were loo costly for others. All this is changed now. Tho American architecture and th American artist havo taken up the matter of interior electric lighting, and the electric light fittings have becomo a part and parcel of architecture. Tho fit ting are designed to bnit the stylo of the architecture, nnd they cover many pe riods, -RT IX THE BUSINESS. Som of these nro the Romanesque, the renaissance (French and Italian), Loui XIV. Louis XV, Louis XVI, tho Umpire, Adams (English stylel, Colo nial (American) and the Nineteenth cen tury revival of tho renaissance in the floral period. The materials of tho fit ting arts chiefly wrnnght iron, brass and copper hammered. Three or four million dollars aro m- vested in the business. TJie American companies, which used to manufacture goods inferior to tho French article, are now consolidated, and many of the boat French designers are employed by them. It appears just now that tho Amoricans are a little ahead of tho French and En glish in this new art. But the American iwople nre far from being convinced of this- yet. The Vanderbilts and many other of the wealthy Fifth avenue fnnii lie have imported electric light fittings. atfd will havo no others. But it seems to ho only a matter of a few years more whon American art and American enter prise 'will have overcome French and English ascendency. The fitting made today are. as varied In stylo and far moro artistic thnn the gas fixtures. They are considerably more costly, too. Tito costliest et-rr made wa an electrolier, wjiieh now hangs in the drawing room of dames Rothschild, of London. It cost iffS.OOO. It is inches in diameter, about 5 feet high, and is made of gilt bronze nnd rock crystal. The design is of the Louis XVl period. Sixty-eight, eleotrio lights hang from the bronze leaves, ami themnllow diffusion of light is a remarkable jv beautiful design. SOMK KXPENblVK ONTS. The cott of nearly all Ihe finer fittings mount high np into the hundreds. One of the prettiest is a wrought iron lamp with a dragon twisting Iteelf around it and flame in tho form of electric lights pouring from its mouth. There is one of these lamps in the residence of Will ism ('. Whitney, cx-socrctnry of tlie navy. Another is a rnpid holding a lamp mado of hammered copper. Ten of these are iu Mr. AVhitneyTt house. On of the prettiest of tlie smaller fit ting is a bronze ily. from tho mouth of which a light is pendant. Those flies are placed at Irregular interrals on the walls, and make a curious and pretty tffect. Cttpid holding cnt glass balls, with drooping lamps of bronze, and con taining twenty-four lights, are among the tinet of recent productions. One recently made for a Chicago millionaire cost 11.000. For Mnull room the favorite are little electrolier of gilt aud white metal and oxidised ailver or eoptwr, with roee re flector. Th deauRtisare numerous. One made of nxidiaed silver is a boy' face, with light shining from the mouth. An other of the aame pattern ha two light cortiing through the eyes. Some of th three light fixture nre higltlr arlUvi, .
