Adulimi is the reverse of an ideal host
ess, and Nieolini is no mure, pleasing
as host.
Tlioso who havo tried it say that life
at Craig-y-Nos is a mixturo of stateli
ness, show, cheeseparing and discom
fort. Lights aro out at 10:80 in the cas
tle. In tlio biliard room, about which so
much has been writton, guests are uot
permitted to play on either madame'i
or monsieur's own particular tablo, but
must use aiiother, provided sololy for
them. Both Niooliui and his little
spouse are billiard fionds and wouldn't
have their precious tables touched by
profane players.
At the sumptuous dinner table the
same royal monopoly exists in respects
to wines, the Nioolinis having their own
choice and expensive brands and an in
ferior quality being served to their
friends. This is all done with absolute
frankness on the part of the hosts, and
should an unwary visitor help himself
from the Nieolini battle he Is brought
up with round turn and told he must
not, for that wine is only given to the
petted head of the house I London Cor

The Turkish hookah and the Persian
nargile are the moat magnificent and
expensive of all pipes.
The tubes through which the smoke
it drawn are made of leather covered
with velvet, or with gold and silver
among the very wealthy, richly orna
mented with precious stones, while the
reoeptaole for the water is usually form
ed of glass handsomely out, or engraved
and gilt, or of precious metals decorated
with enamels.
The liquid in this bowl is frequently
rosewator or other delicately perfumed
distillation, adding considerably to the
fragrance of the smoke. The tobaooo it
lighted in a reoeptaole at the summit of
the pipe, whioh it also formed of gold

diamouds and other gems. The tubes
vary in length from five to ten yards,

in favor of n reform in tho spelling of

ters in tho Polish alphabet do not repre
sent tho sumo sounds na tho letters in
tho Latin or English alphabet. For in
stance, tho Polish w is equivalent to the
English v, and tho s sometimes assumes
tho sound of sh, tho z that of tho Eng

tains a great many moro sounds than
tho old LatMl did, nnd in order to ex

When John Thompson, who drivel a

raigned in the Gates avenue police court
the other day before Justice Quigley on
charge of driving a lame horse, a

and commenced speaking:
"Yon have nothing to do with thit
ease," taid the justice.
"Indeed I have," taid the woman.
"I am foreman of Mr. Story's stables,
and I can assure you that the horse only
went lame the day of the arrest "
When the justice had reoovered from
hit surprise, he was informed that Mrs.

year ago her husband was removed from
the position of foreman, and hit wife
waa put in charge. Justice Quigley fin

ed by using a few grains of ohloride of
lime added to warm soft water for
washing. All rings and bracelets must
be roruoved before this is used, as the
ohloride of lime will tarnish them. A
soap containing thit ingredient may be
prepared at follows: White powdered
castile soap, 1 pound; dry chloride of
lime, 1 to 3 ounces. Mix and beat
this up in a mortar to toft muss with
a sufnoient quantity of rectified spirit
Divide the mass into tablets and wrap
it up in oil silk. It may be scented by
adding to the mixture a couple of drams
of oil of verbena. In using chloride of
lime it is very important to be careful
to avoid getting any of the powder into
the eyes, as it is exceedingly irritating
and may even cause blindness. Popu

Recording the Louet.
In primitive times, when men went
Into the fight, it is hardly supposable
that anything like a roster was kept, no

method employed to record the losses iu
battle was simple. Before going into the
light every man took a stone and de
posited it in a heap. After the battl
the survivors took away each one o
stone. Nothing was easier than to count
those stones whioh were uncalled for.
Tho remainder showed the loss of life.

Warmth In Old Age, I
In old age remember that warmth and!
an even temperature are just as essential
to the welfare of the aged as proper
food. Many old persons die from bron
chitis, for example, induced by exposure;
to a temperature which, harmless to
the young and middle aged, acts severe- -ly
on tho lungs of the old. The bedroom,
of an old person should be kept at a heat
of not less than 60 degrees, and natural
ly chills should be especially guarded;
against. In respect of the feeding of the;
aged, second childhood is like the first
childhood. "Little and often, "is the
motto, and old people should have their
food given them in a state of easy di
gestion, above ull things. New York
