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. We, were all brought up with the
old fashioned noblesse oblige ideas, lion

I would take it or not.' 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. I am plain and uninterest
ing; I nm not a personage; I haveut a

Another incident, of tho wheelmen's
oxcurMon over to Europe we overheard
one morning. 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. They all dismounted and
made for the boy. The puretits put in
an appearance. Between English and
German it wmi dlflionlt to mako them
understand what the lxy had done.
Filially the affair was illustrated by
the production of the Club and the
wheel. Then the old man turned on the
boy and gave him a terrible whipping.
AVhen he got through the wife continued
on in a second edition. Alt efforts to
induce payment for the broken wheel
were in vain. Thev were willincr to

HOW "ZEnO" WAS ADOPTED.
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.

each n.niie, but before he has gone for
he begins to retrench his expense of
vocal powers. This leads to some strange
combinations of sound. In the beginning
he call "Mr. Ablctt." "Mr. Adams.'
"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." "'stei

at last the two words become one, and
"Mr. Hopkins" and "Mr. Honk" eonnd

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, . One of them, which is
seen in many Fifth avenue house, ha
one light ou a globe pendant from the
center, and the nth at the arm, with
ent glaa drop ectlrttUted tulii-ri the
