In his "Domestic Mnntu-rs of the MUlille Ages," suys: "Om- of tlio great objects of ostentation In a rich man's house was his plate, which nt dinner time he brought forth inul spread on the table In sight of his guests.

It was i-nlled : In French, or AiiKlo-Norinnn, a dres solr, beentiso on It the different articles were dresses, or arranged."

Vtt Proeess by Wlilrtt Mercnry- Is Kxtraeted From Cinnabar. The chief seouree of mercury is Its nntive sulphide, cinnabar. The most Importnnt mines of this mineral In Ku ropo are those of Almailen, In Spain, and Idrla, In Illy r la; In America, those of New Almailen, In California. The silvery metal Is obtained by roasting the ores In specially construct ed open furnaces, where, by the ac tion of atmospheric air alone, the sul phur Is converted Into sulphurous itcM and passes on with the volatilize 1 mercury Into condensers. These are usually masonry chambers, with wa ter cooled pipes, from which tho fumes pans on through earthenware pipes and finally through others of wood and glass. Most of the yield Is liquid mercury, combined with soot, which Is removed by agltnting the mixture in receptacles of perforated Iron, when the. mercury falls through.

A girl must keep on throwing until her wrenth stays In the brant-lies, and the number of attempts Is supposed to Indicate the number of yenrs she will have to wait to get mar ried. When the girls are thus engaged the young men of the Tillage stand around chairing them when they miss. The girl who lands her wreath nt the first attempt Is vehemently applauded.

Tlita Is the advice of a doctor who does not believe In the old medico! policy r.f mystery, but who undertakes philosophically to explain to any pa tient why such end such a remedy should be beneficial, says the Phila delphia Telegraph. "When you are 'let down,' " contin ued this physician, "don't take a cock tail j Just breathe. Tut your finger on your pulse and get Its rhythm. Dur ing olght busts draw In the breath, breathing deep and low and forcing the diaphragm down first, then filling the upper lungs. Then exhale this breath during four beats of tho pulse. "Now, If you are working with a piece of machinery, say a typewriter, what do you do to make It run more smoothly? You don't put a lot more oil on It and gum and clog It all up. You clean It first. You can best clean the blood by breathing. The blood pusses through the lungs, and It needs and expects to tl'nd pleuty of fresh air with oxygen In it. If it can't find per fectly fresh nlr It needs more air which Is not perfectly frosts. It needs to be cleaned by contact with the nlr. "Once In awhile bold the lungs full of breath ns long as you can without expulsion. In doing this you are sim ply cleaning the machine. You are clennlng the blood. At the same time you ure giving that little fillip to the action of the henrt and the nervous ystem which you thought you were giving when you took the cocktail. In the Intter case you didn't clean the ma chine. You simply ran It a little faster and gummed It up a little more. You can get the same results, the same fooling of exhilaration and of accom plishment, without taking the cock tall, 11 ml at the same time the machine will steadily Improve In Ita running quultty. Breathe the best air you can get and pleuty of It It Is as necessary aa food. The heart and lungs act In voluntarily. In hurried business Ufa they become too Involuntary.

I'attlug yourself on the back la a dlfllcult task seldom dona gracefully. There nre more talkers than think ers. Here you have the solution of gossip.

The wedding la to occur soon, and he was telling her mother about her pluus. " "When Fred Is out late at night," she said, "I ahull not scold blm. I shall try to be reasonable. I think I shall go so far as to keep a light burning for hltn to make him cheery when be returns," Her mother was silent "Don't you think it would be a good Idea to keep the light burning T" she persisted. "Well, It might do very well for tha first month or so. But after you have paid a few gaa bills you'll probably conclude that it will be just as well to put the matches whore he can find thorn and turn the light out" New York Press. Heroism la Animals. Animals ure capable of what we should cull heroism In man. In on field wo8 a donkey, In another a horse.

WHEN STAMPS WERE NEW. froalile In Orttlnn- People to Slick Them on the Envelope. "When postage stumps first enmo In to use," said, a veteran postal clerk, "the public didn't know how to handle them. You remember how, when tea and coffee first appeared among us, the people fried the ten leaves nnd the cof fee berries nnd served them with salt and pepper? Well, the people treated their stumps ns absurdly In ls.4. "Home folks would put tho stamps In side tlu-lr letters, out of sight. Here Is the olllcinl notice that we Issued to top that practice." The clurk took from the drawer an aged bulletin that said: "The stamps upon nil letters and packages must be ulllxed on the out side thereof and above the address thereon." He put back this bulletin and drew forth Buothcr one. "People would pin the stamps on their letters instead of gumming them," he Haiti, "and when they did gum them they would not do It right; hence this second bulletin," and be rend: "'Persons posting letters should af fix the requisite number of stumps pre vious to depositing them In tho letter receivers, ns ubeu posted In n damp stute the stumps are lluble to rub off and thereby cause the letters to be treated as uupnld. Do not pin on the stumps.' "Btlll," snid the clerk, "the public didn't understand. Think of It it didn't tiiului-staud the simple matter of sticking n postuge stamp on a letter. So we got out a third bulletin." The third bulletin. In big, Impatient lettors, said: "The simplest and most effectual method of cnuslng stamps to adhere firmly Is first to moisten well the out side, of the stumps and afterward the gummed side slightly, taking care nut to remove the gum." Tho clerk said that a philatelist bad offered him (12 apiece for tbeso three queer bulletins. (inlveston Trlbunei COTTON SPINNING. The Scheme b Which Workman Kepi Ills Bobbins Clean.

"The onlooker tells mc your bobbins are always clean," said Mr. l'eel to blm one day. "Aye, they be," said tho mun, whoso name was lth-k rergusou. "How do you mauuKC It, Dick?" "Why, you sec, Mestcr l'eel, It's sort o' secrut! If I towd yo yo'd bo as wise as I am." "That's ho," said Peel, smiling In response to Dick's knowing chuckle, "I'd give you something to know.

"Well, then," returned Dick, beckon ing Mr. Peel to come closer and let him whisper In bis ear, "chalk your bob bins!" That was the entire secret. Ma chinery was soon invented for chalk lug the bobbins, and Dick Ferguson was given a pension equul to muuy dally quarts of beer. Old Time Remedies, Strange ns It may seem to some, the Ingredients of the witches' caldron In "Macbeth," nt least a part of them, were once standard remedies among Europeans. In the tenth and eleventh centuries a sovereign cure for ague was the swallowing of a small toad that hud been choken to death on St John's eve, nnd a splendid remedy for rhouinutism was to fasten the bands of clothing with pins that had been tuck Into the flesh of either a toad or a frog. Physicians frequently recom mended the water from a toad's brain for mentnl affections und that a lire toad be rubbed over the discused parts as a cure for the quinsy. Letters of Introduction.
