This was the order of things at the Eastern field trial club, and the Central, a new organi- zation, sought to do away with all this by what is termed THE SPOTTING SYSTEM.

Madison of Indianap- This is a well-known pointer, having been | Eastern derby in 1857, third all-aged stake in 1383 and southern trials in the same year. Ossian displayed wonder- ful judgment in his work, seeming to know just where to look for his birds. Lp his first be did not make a mistak+, and scored a ble 100, proving himself to be the best dog that started in the trials, setter or pointer.

This was so palpable that at the aunual meeting of the club it was decided to change the ruics aad adopt tue spotting sys- tem in the fature. THE POINTERS, The all-aged pointer stake which now fol- lowed was looked forward to with great in- terest, as many noted dogs, both on the bench and in the field, were included in the entry. Mr. Hitchcock's Woolton Game, one of his Laglish purchases, took part in the stake and won golden opinions from those present by her performance. I shall treat ot her work in the proper order, The resuit of the different eeties saw Kip Rap and Lebanon left m for first place and the result was never in doubt, as the high character of the work done by Rip Hap, together with his better pace, style and Fanging abilizies, placed him far ahead of his Fival, proving himself, though only eighteen months old, to be the best pointer that has ever Fun at American trials, aud with age there is ¥ prospect of bis holding his own with his cousins, the setters, Lebaaomran another heat with Count Fauster to decide the second prize, and tairly outclassed bis opponent in po and the amount of work be did The judges se- lected Count Fauster for the third place with- out farther ranuing—this they are entitled to do under the rules—and Woolton James for fourth. Rip Rap, the winner, is a black and white dog by King of Kent ont of Hops, and owned by Mr. E. Dexter, Mass. Leb- anon is a lemon and white dog by Grim out of Peg, his fortunate owner being young Mr. Cole- man, of Lebanon. Pa. Count Fauster, winner of third, is Dated a) —_ Day Main- ring (a noted field dog) out ‘auster, Desa J. Houston, Zanesville, Obio, being his owner. Count is s couscientious worker, but {and ranging ability to bring them when compared to such a dashing and brilliant performer ss Rip Rep, for instance, his want of confidence is apparent. Woolton Game ought really to have had third place, her work showing at times great merit, especially when one considers that she was in astrange country andon strange game. This is a heavy handi- cap for any dog and doubtless when she has become better acclimatized, as it were, she will be seen at the front. The work oli round in this stake was much he =a! to former years. The champion stake. which should have been the most interesting of the trials, was a walk. over for Chance. the winner of the all-aged setter stake. The invincible Roderigo was burt three weeke before and could not start, nd Gath’s Mark, another champion, was scratched. The judges showed in these trials more professional spirit than in any previous one. grading the dogs more according to the merit they seemed to show than upon their Incky finding of birds. On the morning of December 2 the long looked forward to meet- ing of the Central trials club commenced with the preliminary heats in the Setter derby. ‘MR. J. E. DAGER'S “TOLEDO BLADE.” It is not worth while going into particulars of this stake. Suffice to say that Rowdy Rod clearly showed his superiority by winning first .ace. Here it might be well to say that the joe were allowed entirely too much lib- erty. To arrive at a proper estimate of a dog’s abilities the judges shculd not allow too much handling. The dog ought to be made to show his natural hunting instincts alone, as often the handler’s continual interference renders the dog & mere automaton, afraid to do anything of his own free will. In the pointer derby the judges had no difficulty in picking the winners, the before-mentioned Rip Rap again proving his superiority, Joy, jr., a new face, taking second The oth were n6t entitled to their wins, as ey had certainly not shown sufficient merit. The all-aged setter stake next brought together many well-known dogs boti on the bench and in the field, but lamentable as the fact may appear to many, three dogs which are counted without peers in the show ring, Cora of Wetherall, winncr of Mrs, Langtry’s silver cup for best setter in N York show in 1888; Count Howard and Princess Beatrice, made a very poor showing indeed, being entirely outclassed and giving those sportsmen who look down on bench-show win- ners something to crow over for many a long day. This stake was productive of several surprises; indeed it was thought that the Memphis and Avent kennels had an air tight in Chance and Rowdy Rod, but like base ball and kindred ‘sports, field trials have their uncertainties, and both these grand dogs were downed, the one by King’s Mark, the other by Roger. The out- come of the running was: King’s Mark, first: Chance, second, and Roger, third. King’s Mark isa biue belton by King Noble out of Belie Belton, and the great trotting horse Jay- Eye-See has made the name of his owner, J. Chase, familiar throughout the land. This dog's ‘work was characterized by speed and style, showing good, solid all-round work, He is a greatly improved dog since last year. Chance I have referred to. Roger, owned by Mr. L. Gardner, is a black, white and tan by Count Noble out of Meg. He has a very good nose, but his style is not taking, and he shows a disposition to sneak up to his birds, The winners in the all-age poin- ter stakes showed several new faces, though they had also run at previous trials, ‘The win- ner was Lebanon, who has been described above, though the real winner according to merit was Mr. Hitchcock's Duke of Hessen, which took second prize, and Mr. Ed Dexter's, Charlottesville, Va., Pontiac, third. Duke of Hessen is a liver and white by Luck of Hessen, out of Blarney, and shows considerable speed and ranging abilities, but did not work up to his form in previous trials. Pontiac isa liv 17 and white dog, by Miltou’s Bang, out of Cli- max. He is apt to potter in his work and will go after other feather, such as meadow larks, but ranges fairly well, These were not the best dogs, as Rip Rap’s merits seemed to be ig- nored, and it cannot be said the new system, as expounded at Lexington, was an unqualified success. TRIALS HERE AND ABROAD, In speaking of the methods of conducting field trials in Europe and at home the differ- ences in the farming and other interests must be taken into consideration. In England, for instance, the trials are held in the spring, though they are fast awakening to the fact that this does not allow of the bringing out of the dogs’ best qualities, and a move was made this year by having the trials of the Irisb setters in the fall. Spring being the close season it is not therefore allowable to shoot the birds as they rise, and consequently there is no test in drop- ping to shot or retrieving. The latter is not in England thought to be a part of a sporting dog's curriculum, a3 they usually have ® retriever or spaniel to do this work entirely. Then, again, the nature of the farms hunted over, usually on some nobleman’s estate, like the duke of Portland’s,for instance, precludes that free ranging that is such a charm in our native dogs, The ficlds are en- closed by thick hedges and a dog is confined to one field till he has worked it over, be it stub- ble or turnips, and the game is partridge, no juail. This is where European dogs are at a isadvantage when they come over here. The country is wilder, so much freer ranging required and the game is chiefly quail. The sportsmen are on horseback, as many of our & and much of our country where trials are held could not be hunted otherwise. Under these dif- 2. Mr. E. Dexter's “Rip Rap." ferent conditions it is no wonder that English dogs fora year or two work under a heavy handicap and very few ever attain the speed into the front rank against our own dogs. It can be said on the other hand that when taught to re- trieve they make excellent dogs for a quiet day's shooting on foot. A pointer or setter in erica is trained as an all-round dog, and the trials being held in the fall during the shooting season, every opportunity is given to test their | abilities in finding the full-grown game, drop- ping to shot and retrieving. We have now many good English field dogs which can hold their own with the best of ours, having been rebroken and become accustomed to the coun- try. These are Graphic, Bracket, Lad of Bow. Duke of Hessen, Bang Bang, Naso of Kippen, Fick of Naso and several others, H.W. Lacy. Written for Tax Eventxa Star. Spirit Whisperings.

A Haberdasher Tells a Star Reporter Some Seercts of His Trade. DRESS SHIRT ROSOMS ALL IMPORTED FROM PARIS— SOME THAT COST TEN DOLLARS APIECE—HOW SHIRTS, COLLARS AND CUFFS ARE MADE—FACTS ABOUT NECKTIES—CANES AND SHIRT STUDS. “I suppose,” said the erdasher, “you are not aware that all the dress shirt bosoms come from Paris. And vet it is so—that is to say, all those that are sold by first-class gentlemen's furnishing houses, The shirts themselves are not imported, for the reason that the French do not understand the art of making them. Buy a shirt of the best maker over there and you will find that it has no more fit than a bag. But when it comes to bosoms, none of Ameri- can make can approach the Parisian manufac- ture. See this, for instance. Here French bosom of perfectly plain pattern; yet observe how exquisite the finish is—not merely as re- gards the laundering but more particularly in respect to the stitching and such fine points, Take notice of the delicacy of the button holes— the places for the studs, I mean—how each one is outlined as carefaliy and prettily as if the -work was so much em- broidery. You never find such ideal button holes in an American bosom. And the seam that runs along the edge of the opening down the middle—how fine and straight it is, like a hair line, when actual embroidery is concerned—and a certain amount of embroid- ery is just the proper thing at present, Manu- facturers in this country cannot at all tee ld with the foreign. This, for example, is a bosom in the very latest and most accurate style, as it is affected by men who have real knowledge of what is the thing to wear. It has, you see, a single line of flowery embroid- ery, hot too conspicuous, running down the middle, in white silk. Nothing could be more nnexceptionably le fromage, as one might say, than this, Ofcourse you imagine that the embroidery is hand work; ordinarily a dealer would tell you that it was such, As a matter of fact, however, it is done by machines of almost inconceivable delicacy. The retail price of this bosom is $1.75; a shirt made to order with it costs $3.50; the same shirt with perfectly plain French bosom is $2.50. If a cus- tomer comes here to purchase a dress shirt we give him nothing else but the imported bosom, permitting him to choose for himself among the sample bosoms in stock. We take his measure, as for any other shirt, have our own operatives make it with the bosom chosen and the buyer enjoys the advantage of a Pa: style combined with American comfort.” COSTLY BOSOM FOR DUDES. “Some of the dress bosoms in these boxes seem wonderfully elaborate,” suggested Tar Star writer, pawing them gingerly over. “Yes, they run up as high as $10 apieco, But men who really have good taste do not wear such costly ones, for the simple reason that they are too showy. Parisian dudes of the newest evolution might sport such gandy decoration, but not the dandies of Washington, New York or Boston, Even the striped shirts in blue and red that had such a rage a year or two ago, particularly in the metropolis, have gone outnow. It was imagined then, you may remember, that there was a serious tendency to a reversion in men’s costumes to the more showy fashions of days long ago. ‘The illustra- tion of this afforded by the colored shirts was to be followed, some authorities thought, by such innovations as knee breeches and silk stockings, rainbow sashes instead of dress waistcoats and modified coats for evening. But, although the movement progressed as far as embroidery for evening waistcoats, fancy ornamentation forshirts and sashes for tennis, it hadnot a sut- ficient impetus to push it any further, and al- ready a reaction has begun—dress waistcoats are plain white once more, or black satin, may be. Stripes have disappeared from shirts and men’s attire bids fair soon to be somber, as it was before. No renaissance iu the art of male costuming is to be expected in this generation. Here is a Paris shirt bosom for 5, which might be sold readily in Chicago, I have not disposed of one of them yet here. It isa very beautifully executed piece of work, technically considered. You see, it is really an exquisite imitation of that sort of material in which embroidered silk and brocaded satin ap- pear in alternate stripes. Another thing that is extremely new—though not, perhaps. what a man of the most highly educated taste would select—is this pleated bosom, which has 120 pleats on each side, or 240 pleats in all, with a band of plain linen running through the middle like a brook through the meadow.” HOW SHIRTS ARE MADE. “But what you have said only applies to dress shirts.” “That is true, All our shirts to order for ordinary wear are made by our own operativ A first-class haberdasher always has his o factory. This does not mean necessarily that he owns the factory outright, though frequently he does so, but often that he has a share in one or con- tributes to its employment. Such a factory need not be much of an affair; a dozen female hands will produce all the work toorder in the way of shirts and other things that is required by two or three big furnisiing houses, Only skilled hands are employed for labor of the sort, at pay that is far trom excessive, though they get more than do the thousands of women occupied at shirt making in the huge factori of the big cities in New York state and in Con- necticut, which supply atl this vast country with ready-made linen garments of the ‘biled’ Variety. e making of shirts in these enor- mous establishments is reduced to a science mathematical. The parts are cut out, dozens at a time, withakeen-edged knife, by patterns, Men do this; the rest is all done by women, who stitch the portions to- gether. Stamping the trademark on the collar band is the final operation betore the shirt is sent to the laundry, At the laundry it is done up in a special department, not by the ordinary machines but by hand. This is called ‘stock work’ and it costs trom 15 to 25 cents per shirt. The tritle, of course, is added to the rice of the article when it is exposed for sale. aberdashers usually get their ready-made shirts by ordering directly from the manu- tacturers, COLLARS AND CUFFS, “How is it about collars and cuffs?” “The supply for the United States is pro- duced aimost wholly in New York state, the great center of manufacture being Troy. Col- jars and cu‘¥s are turned out very mach in the same way that shirts are aud the gentlemen's furnishers yet them mostly from the makers, though often from jobbers, What is the job- ber’s fauction? Why, simply this: Suppose a big firm gets out a new collar. One hundred thou- sand dozen of them would not be an excessive first edition. That means an order for ever so many thousand doilars’ worth of linen, you know. Now, some of this linen—such things often occur—may be defective. A. slipped thread may appear here and there in it, which you or any other person not au expert would hot observeat all, But the manufacturer’srep- utation is so precious to himself that it would never do for him to put his trademark on the goods produced from that linen and so adver- tise them as his own, In this respect he is as sensitive—merely for business reasons—as the true princess in the fairy tale, who was ren- dered sleepless by the rolling of the pea be- neath the undermost of the sixteen feather beds on which she slept. That shpped thread might ruin his trade aud credit; so, instead of stumping the collars as his own make, he sells them unstamped to jobbers, who dispose of the inferior stock as made by so-and-so and ‘48 good as the regularly stamped products. To show how little it takes to render goods of the first class unsalable as such, look at these im ported handkerchiefs, of finest linen, he: stitched. The only thing wrong about them is one almost microscopic thickn: ss of a thread in one corner, yet that jowers the price asked by one-half, Handkerchiefs, I may as well teil you, we mostly get from France; only inferior grades are made in this country.” NECKTIE LORE, “And the neckties?” “The most expensive ones come from London and Paris. but vast numbers of them and all that we get of the inferior grades are made in and about New York city. Neckties are manu- factured very much like shirts; the different parts composing them are cut out very many at a time and stitched together by girls. There &re so many pieces of silk or satin, and also many pieces of lining to be cut out for each necktie of a given style, by patterus. When a gal has fir: stitching one into shape she uds on the completed article, together with acheck that had been given her with the pieces, duly marked, to the final operator, who stamps it with the trademark on the back of the lining. Then it is ready to go out for sale. The fash. ion aoe for men is to wear tics that are actually tied by the wearer. nearly every one wore scarfs that were bly sewn into but an improvement in the popular taste dictated the change. A man who dresses well will never put on acravat that is an artificial least of all, perhaps, willhe make use of a tie ‘that is realy-made. One of the arts with which a gentleman should most neces- be juainted is that of an ordi- means soar There is Sher gon item in personal attire that conveys so ly to the observer a of the wearer's quality as the neckerchief. If it is , his taste cannot be ; if it is too bright in color, want of re- oe wellyregewie if it is clean and carefully her vip gs to be » man who is neat of person; if it is dirty and awry. he may be sup- osed to be of unkempt habits; if it is strung ow. 80 as to show a fancy collar button, the wearer is presumably a vulgarian. The neck- tie is, as it were, THE CENTER OF THE DRESS, and it should always gratify the eye with its color and arrangement. You will always find a considerable stock of the old-fashioned flat neck scarfs ina haberdasher's shop; they sell mostly to men of the older gencration, who do not follow the fashion and are reluctant to give up wearing what has become to them a habit. I have more than once heard sur- prise expressed by men of authority in matters of dress that so few of the neckties offered for sale are pretty; but you must realize the fact that it is the Pp: tional person in this world who has good tas People say that there is no such thing as right and wrong where tastes are concerned; it is simply a matter of individual judgment. But I contend that beauty is a thing absolute and good taste likewise. Good taste means only that the possessor of it has been educated up to or was born witn the faculty of apprehending the beautiful. It is a curious fact, which has often come under my observation, that the per- son who has bad taste not only does not per- ceive that the beautiful thing in color arrange- ments, say. is better than the ugly thing, but actually he prefers in nearly every case the ugly thing, conceiving that to be the beautiful thing. A woman devoid of taste choosing ma- terials for her dress will select the ugliest every time. Of course we must cater to our custom- ers at large as we find them.” UNDERCLOTHES, CANES AND STUDS. “Where does the underclothing you sell come from?” “From England, and the great center for the manufacture of the best underclothing of the world is Nottingham. French underclothing— Lam including hosiery under that term—is less good, and the German makes are of very in- ferior quahty, We do animmense business in pajimahs, the wool and cloth for which is im- ported into Engiand from Ceylon and made up. The silk of which silk pajamahs are composed is brought to England in the same way from In- dia, “These garments are growing more and more into popular use in this country. In the hot climates of southern Asia th are, of course, most convenient to wear. the shirtlike jacket’ and pantaloons furnishing at once sleeping costume and a dress in which a man is presentable to the public though nothing ve worn underneath. Such things they make in Eng- land much better than we can here. In the manufacture of dressing gowns, loose undress jackets of all sorts and lounging garments generally we cannot compete with the British makes, much softer than ours and more comfortable, somehow,” “As to canes?” “They formavery pretty feature of our business, The woods of which they are made are brought by the manufacturers in New York from all over the known world. rack, you may see sticks of orange from. Flor- ida, bamboo trom India, malacca from the Is- land of Malacca, coffee wood from Brazil, stringy hair wood from Morocco, grape stem from Madagascar, close-jointed whanghwe from China, pink palmetto, and goodness knows how many other queer ones. Umbrellas are made mostly in Philadelphia. They, as well as the canes, are usually sold by drummers, who come to us with sampie handles, of siiver chiefly, to choose from. ‘Che shirt studs, of which ‘we sellso many, are pretty nearly all made in Providence, R.I., and in Connecticut, The ware houses for such goods are in New York city.” a HOME MATTERS.

STRIPED BASS, HALIBUT AND MACKEREL SHOWING SIGNS OF COMING SCARCITY AND SOMETHING MUST BE DONE—INTERCHANGING SALT AND YRESA WATER FISHES—SOME QUEKB CREATURES. The ponds near the Washington monument will soon be utilized by the fish commission fora series of experiments in the artificial Propagation of certain valuable food fishes, hitherto unmeddied with, which are becoming so rapidly scarcer that their practical extinction d be a matter of only a few years if noth- ing were done to restock the waters. Among these precious fishes are the striped bass— otherwise known as the rock fish—the halibut, the common mackerei and the Spanish mack- jerel. What has already been done for the \shad must be done for them, if their useful- ness is not to be lost to man. Nor can their loss be at all afforded. Thjnk what a vacancy in the breakfast menu the absence of the suc- sulent mackerel, with his accompanying bit of lemon, would create! How the sportsman— not considering the house keeper—would grieve for that noble game, the striped bass. And what tears the trawi fishermen would shed over the vanished halibut—a fish that now, be- cause he is so huge and costs so much a pound, they regard as a rich prize. To avoid such a disaster the artificial hatch- ing of these four fishes’ eggs will be bezun be- fore iong—first, experimentally, in the ponds hi and afterward at the regular propagating Stations in various varts of the United States, At present the striped bass and the mackerel are under observation—for the study of their habits, as to spawning and so on—in the won- derful aquaria of the fish commission. WILD FISH IN CAPTIVITY, Before the commfssion accomplished the feat, quite recently, no one had ever succeeded in keeping such wild carniyorous fishes as the mackerel and halibut healthy and happy in confinement. These untamable cannibalsalwaye worried their lives out in aquaria, as birds of the woods do in cages, tortured by tear and re- fusing food until they died—as do nearly all arnivorous beasts in eaptivity—of heart disease. ut the commission found that the trouble was merely that the aquaria used were too small; it built big ones—great tanks in which the fish could swim out of sight and imagine them- selves in the vasty deep—and under such con- ditions the mackerel and its fellow ichthyo- phagi throve famously, It will soon be learned by observation how the mackeral spawns—in a big glass box the knowledge thus gained can be readily applied to the production of eggs and subsequent mackerel fry ky myriads for | letting loose on the coast. ‘The same sort of | thing will be done with the halibut, striped bass and Spanish mackerel. This last named fish is one of the most delicious known, it has never been very plentiful, and a good supply of it would be most welcome tothe marke Speaking of spawning, a curious thing is hay pening just now in one of the tanks at the com- mission's building. cliow perch, owing to the unusually warm weather, are spawning in their aquarium, though their spawning season is notuntil Ma From this fact the conclusion has been drawn that fish would spawn all the year round if the water were kept at just the right temperature. The commission expects soon to make use of a novel modification of the aquarium idea in the shape of what may be called water hot beds—ponds under glass—for which conditions, as to sunlight and otherwise, much more nearly resembling those of nature tan are realized by aquaria will be obtain- able, SALT FISH MADE FRESH, Also experiments are to be begun before long in the transferring of fish from salt water to fresh and vice versa, It would be very mice, the commission thinks, if the mullet of the gulf could be domesticated in the greatlakes and the whitefish made to share the ocean waters with the cod. And there seems to be no good reason wherefore such things should not be accomplished. In nature the brook trout, making its way from streams near the coast into the sea, becomes the silver trout, and goes on its briny path rejoicing. Smelt, > perch and alewives willendure perpetual andiocking and yet coutinue to thrive and multiply as well as in salt water. Salmon and many other fishes forsake the ocean for the fresh water of the rivers at the spawning season every year to lay their eggs. A certain change always takes place, curiously enough, ina fish that is made to live in a water for which nature has not intended it. A brook tront in a lake grows to be a much larger animal and different altogether; in a well it becomes long and thin, perhaps partly from failure of a liberal food- supply. Farmers often put one trout in a well and keep it there to make the water clean and clear, they cay. An attempt is to be made soon, by the way, to artificially propagate the mullet of the ' gulf—that most delicious vf non-biting fishes—for acclimatization in northern waters, It would be a most valuable addition to the food supply. Several mullet are now doing exceedingly well in one of the commission's aquaria. The favorite way of catching them down south is with a circular net 12 feet across, which is gathered up by the middle and thrown by hand trom the shore ora boat when a school of the fish is seen in the shallows, The leads fringing the circumference of the next sink at once, so that the prey is enclosed and captured, then it is drawn in with a rope, the leads dragging together by gravity and preventing the escape of the victims. Florida negroes are often very skillful in throwing the ‘‘cast net,” as it 1s called, and Tne Srar writer has frequently seen one “chucked” 30 feet with accuracy and success, The transferring of salt water fish to fresh water und the reverse can be accomplished best by slow degrees. For such purposes the water hot beds, in which the water can be made fresher or salter as gradually as may be de- sired, are expected to be most useful. Once ace! m a few individual fishes of a given species to the new water, so that they are well and contented, their progeny, born to the novel elemeut, will be as well adapted to it as any. THE WONDERFUL AQUARIA, For a long time the the fish commission got all the salt water for its marine aquaria from the sea itself, employing people to procure it by the thousands of cans from steamers; but now, finding it just as good, they manufacture it all themselves from Turk’s Island salt, which is merely a residue from evaporated sea water, by the aoe addition of the proper propor- tion of fresh water. ‘The commission is really proud of its aqua- rium show, which is at present one of the most interesting’ sights of Washington. Nothing could well be imagined more attractive than the grotto lined with big windows of glass, through which one can see all sorts of tishes disporting themselves, For a long time after this exhibition was opened last March the water was so obscure that a good view of the contents of the aquaria could not be had, but now it has been filtered out until it is like crys- tal in most of the tanks, and the spectacie offered is simply fascinating. One does not know whether to find most exciting the Chesa- peake crabs, the mallets, the striped bass, the gizzard shad, the lobsters, or other things. ‘This is now the oniy aquariam show in this country, Onc was started a few years ago in New York and $100,000 was spent upon it be- fore 1t was given up as unprofitable. The rea- son it was unprofitable was that so many of the fish died—all because the conditions created for them were not close enough to nature, In San Francisco a similar enterprise smashed up on account of the great and costly mortality among creatures kept in too small tanks and without sufficient light. The commission's ‘otto, on the other hand, has a glass roof. so at even sunlight is available. Large aquaria are used for big fish everything, from the oysters to the crabs, is well aud cheerful, aa uncheritably, three or four star fish—dreade: enemies—have been put in the tank with the oysters and when warm weather comes the latter are likely to suffer. The star fish gets in its deadly work, you know, in this wise; it em- braces the oyster affectionately with its five arms until the unfortunate bivalve is smoth- ered; when the oyster is dead and its shell opens in consequence the star devours its flesh in horrible glee. Gurroo! AQUARIA ABROAD. One thing that the commission’s experiments have proved is that it is possible to maintain marine aquaria at any distance from the sea just as wellason the ocean shore, Simply order your sait by express, add the due propor- tion ri water and there you are.

An Invention Intended to Check the Depredations of Robber Guests. The shabby man who had gained reluctant admission to the Connecticut avenue mansion sat down on the edge of a damask-covered fauteuil and waited patiently for the appear- ance of the mistress of the house. “Madam,” said he, rising respectfully as she entered, “my only apology for this intrusion is that Ihave something of exceptional value to offer—something that in the course of a year will save you both loss and annoyance, The article in question I have just patented, It is ® novelty cheap at many times its actual price and is called the ‘bric-a-brac retainer.’ You, I dare say, have suffered more or less from the raids of predatory guests who carry off from your receptions and parties ornaments and so forth as if they were lewful spoil.” “It is true, I must confess,” replied the lady. “During the last four years I suppose I have twice filled my house with articles of a deco- rative nature, buying them from time to time, and yet I have left at present scarcely one thing of the sort that is worth carrying away. Everything readily portable seems to have gone, 1 don’t know how. Only this I am sure of, that after every ball or reception certain pieces of my property have been found missing, in the chamber used asa dressing room for ladies I have had four sets of silver-backed brushes and combs—such luxuries cost from $20 to $30 apiece, you know—and they have all vanished, The last set I fastened to the bureau with heavy silver chains, but they were bitten off with pincers, chains and all.” “It is really ‘dreadful, madam; but, as I was about to remark——” TOOK THE WRONG CANr. “Yes, as you were saying, nothing seems to escape these people who take things? They must simply grab. One night last January I missed my new fire irons, and then I remem- bered having seen an unidentified gentleman on his way out through the hall swinging a queer-looking cane with a brass knob and a crook at the wrong end. iam convinced to this day that it was my best poker. However, the person who took it may have drunk too much champagne and have mistaken the fire- place in the drawing room for the hat rack. Color is lent to that supposition, any way, by the fact that a gold-headed stick, never afterward called for, was left that evening by somebody. Maybe—if my theory was correct—the owner was ashamed to come back and solicit an ex- change. But, even so, the shovel and tongs re- main still unaccounted for. Yet that is noth. ing. Ihave more than once lost the enti paraphernalia of a mentelpiece or etagere at a single swoop, A woman was once caught ope- rating at a reception, I have heard, with an enormous pocket in her dress, into which she could readily sweep, at a moment’s notice, a whole shelf full of ornaments. Some such wholesale robber must have gained admittance here beyond a doubt.” “That, madam, is precisely where the bric-a- brac retainer——” THEY TAKE EVERYTHING. “Even my table silver has disappeared at such a rate that Ihave been really distressed atthe loss, You see, owing to my husband's Position, I am obliged to entertain rather more indiscriminately than I should otherwise, i haps, and you know what that means,” Not only do many people come to my house by in- vitation whom I would scarce regard as belong- ing to my set, but my receptions—even some- times my parties—are not intrequently attended by guests who are not invited at all. No pains are taken to turn such intruders out, for rea- sons strictly official, High public office may have its advantages, but, for my part, I would prefer the independence of commonplace me- diocrity. My husband seems to have a pas- sion for serving the public, but I don’t know @ more disagreeable master, and I would rather be in the employ of somebody who had not the right to invade my home at will. You know well how the notion has gone abroad that in Washington it is not necessary, if one wishes to attend an entertainment, to wait for a bid- ding. But, goodness me! how it would uty me to snub such interlopers, ifI were only not a semi-public personage. The incidental loss otamall fornitars te only a trifling part of the affliction. It is bad enough, however.” “Laympathize with you’ heartily, madam; but this invention of mine——” RED-HOT STOVES NOT SAFE. “Indeed, it is almost too much for endur- ance, My plan for putting astopto the nui- sance, if it only were practicable—and I don’t think any other could be so—is to put a chain on each guest upon entering the house, allow- ing them a reasonable range and have him or her rigidly searched by specially employed private detectives before departure. As things are now one is altogether detenseless, i I caught any one in the act of carrying off my property it would hardly be worth making a rumpus about. At the worst the verdict would be kieptomania,’ that being the term in vogue in polite society for stealing. Why, I have actuaily seen ornaments of mine on the man- telpiece of somebody else's house, but I said nothing.” HOPE FOR THE VICTIM. bric-a-brac retainer of which I have been speak- ing will solve the difficulty. Permit me to at- tach it to so peculiarly shaped an article as that vase on the chimuey shelf. It is made, rou see, of steel and vulcanized rubber.

The device is readily adjustable to brie-a-brac of any and every shape, and nothing to which it is fastened can merge bre removed, unless with a hatchet and cold chisel.
