|| Hypodermic injection of Perfumes.
There was quite a rage some years
B.orr? in the F.ftKt. for nerfuminer the skin.
Be Some physicians discovered that the
H hypodermio injection of certain perfumes,
Buch as -white rose, lilac or viomf
let, under the skin caused the perfume
|H to be exhaled from the whole body,
H and even from the breath. All th?
Sg ladies wanted to be perfumed. The
B operation had to be repeated aboul
| once a week in order to secure the dej
6ired results. But, unfortunately, two
f or three of the perfumed ones suffered
subsequently from blood poisoning,

i A Strange Superstition.
I In Bosnia the people have believed
I at all times that a bridge could not be
firm and lasting unless a human being
was walled up in it. Thus there is a
legend connected with the handsome
Roman bridge at Mostar, which says
that the fine arch across the Narenta
oould not be finished until the architect
walled up in it a bridal pair. Now
that a solid bridge is being built across
the Sava at Brazcka this superstition
is revived. It is rumored everywhere
* i -M l i.
that gypsies are stealing cniioreu vo
?ell them to contractors, who will wall
one up in each pillar.?Exchange.
Boiled to Death.
The last instance of boiling to death
took place in Persia in 1890. The
offender was guilty of stealing State
revenues and was put into a large caldron
of cold water, which was slowly
heated to the boiling point. His bonee
were distributed, as a warning, among
the provincial tax collectors.

It's no better than being bnried alive. I

Christine sat in the deep window e
seat, whither she had climbed, with a i
pair of shears to cut away the cluster- t
ing ivy vines that darkened the kit- ?

In one hand she held a bunch of ivv- t
trails; from the other the shears 1
dangled.
Her profile, sharply outlined against 1
the ruddy carmine of the sunset, was 1
exquisitely pure find delicate; her ?
blue eyes were full of dreamy fire. ?
Old Peggy, from her position in t
front of the kitchen table, looked
sharply np. (
"Well," said she, briskly setting
aside the pan of baked apples that she
had taken from the oven for tea, "I
can tell you why, Miss Chrissy. It
was because you hadn't money enough
to keep on living in the city Bince the
Barbazon Bank failed, and becausc
this old stone house that belonged to
your dead-and-gone grand-uncle was
standing empty. House rent is house
rent, and there's lot6 of nice fruit and
vegetables in the garden, though I
won't say but it's been sadly neglected,
and the air can't be beat. Of coarse
it's a bit dull for you young ladies;
but beggars can't be choosers, you
know, and Miss Rosamond amuje9 herself
with the chickens and the ducks,
bless her heart ?"
The sudden flush rose angrily to
Christine's satin-soft cheek.
"We are not beggars yet," said she.
"And as for Rosamond, she never had
a soul above a scullery maid."
' * -? * 1 -T i.
" vviifti 6 mat you re sujiug uuuui | ^
Rosamond?" cried a gay young voice, j
as a tall, brown-haired girl came in,
with sparkling hazel eves, cheeks
reddened with exercise, ?nd an apron- ,
ful of nuts. "See what I picked up .
on the hill beyond the stone wall;
and a nice fight I had with the squirrels
and little Tom Evans, for 'em.
The squirrels chattered at me from
every tree in the copee, and Tommy J
sat on the wall and 6ulked. But the '
trees are on our land, and I was de- (
termined to have our share of the nut i
harvest. Only look, Chris! Aren't (
they beauties?"
"Nuts!" scornfully uttered Chris- '
tine, vouchsafing only a single glance 1
at ttie treasures, ana turning uwuy uei> face
toward the red sunset glow. 1
"What on earth are you going to do *
with them?"
"Do with 'em?" echoed Rosamond. 3
"Why, crack "em, to-be-sure! And ^
then pick em out, and then I shall j 1
make some nut cookies!"
Christine shrugged her shoulders. '
"J beg leave to amend my verdict," |
said she. "I should have said that J
Rosamond had the soul of a cook !" I 1
Rosamond glanced toward the cellar | ]
steps, down which old Peggy had dis- j'
appeared. | ]

delicate to come down here!"
"I prefer some other way of occupying
my time," said Christine, super- :
cilioiis'iy.
"Yes, but what?" i
Rosamond had reached down the i
hammer, and was now balancing the
broad end of a smoothing-iron in her |
lap, preparatory to the operation of j i
cracking. _ 1

Christine colored again.
"I prefer to retain my position

imphasis.
"But we have no society.''
"We are asiieci to ine inaniiB^iyi

etorted Christine.
"We can't go!" averred Rosamon
"Why can't we go?"
"Nothing to wear," Rosamond si
sinctly answered, giving a sharp, s\
len tap of the hammer to a plump r
>n the edge of the flatiron.
"How do you know that?"
Rosamond lifted her eyes in si
)rise, and Christine went hurriec

"There was a traveling salesm

Rosamond said nothing, but wori
liligently away. Her lifelong i
jerience of Christine's varying moc

wallow her discomfiture and make i

lurst out into a child's passiom

lanksgiving Day was a National in- ?
tution during the Revolution and e
a annually recommended by Con- t
ess, but after a general thanksgiving (
peace in 1781 there was no Namal
appointment till 1789, when
eeident Washington recommended a ,
inkflgiving for the adoption of the 1

another National thanksgiving *
account of the suppression of the a
jurrection of that year. In 1815 a t
y of thanksgiving for the restoration
peace was recommended by Presi- ^
nt Madison, but during the early
rt of the century Thanksgiving re- ?
lined an institution peculiar to New ?

Significance of "Van" and "Yon." S
It is a common mistake of Amerians
to think that the predicate "van" t
>efore a Dutch name signifies nobility, r
n the low countries?that is in the 1
kingdoms of the Netherlands and of I
Jelgium?"van" has no particular r
aeaning. Names with "van" are to e
>e read on shops, as well as on the ?
loora of the most aristocratio man- s
ions. The humblest persons have it,
is well as the most refined. On the
ither hand, a great number of the
rery oldest families are without it. In
Germany "von" means noble, and all
lersons belonging to the nobility have
'von" before their family names, witlimt
any exception. Persons who do
lot belong to the nobility cannot put
'von" before their names, as they have
io right to do so, and would be found
>ut directly if they assumed it, and
nake themselves ridiculous. But in
;aee of a man being knighted for some
eason or other he has the right to put
'von" before his family name. For
nstance, when Alexander Humboldt
vas knighted he became Alexander von
lumboldt, and all his descendants,
nale and female, take the prefix.?
