She was generous only toward herself, and sometimes toward her family but even in the family circle ner covctousuess frequently caused serious dis- agreements. In everyday life she often showed herself a perfect miser, snd mors than onca allowed herself to be summoned before the judge for a paltry bill of 15 cr JO francs. It is but justice to say that she never lacked enthusiastic admirers still, even these, if unable to lay valuable troaanrea at her feet, over and above their devotion, were quickly dismissed assuperlluous incum- brances. \Vhen they manifested too great an economy in their offerings, Rachel skill- fully devised means of whettinii tlieir more generous instincts. The incident of the guitar is one of the moat significant in thia respect. In the apartment of herolil friend, Mme. S., Rachel noticed one day a half- broken guitar, blackened by duat and age. " What are you keeping this dilapidated old thing for, my dear T ' Pbedra asked of her friend. " Wouldn't you give it to me in order to get rid of it?' "With all my heart," replied her friend; "it is utterly useless to me. " That same day her maid was ordered to tike the guitar to the artist's rooms in Hue Joubert. A few days later Count Walevski was ushered iuto Phmdra's boudoir, and in the course of conversation espied the old instrument dangling above the mantelpiece in a silken cover. " Heavens what is that shabby- looking thing doing in your boudoir?" exclaimed thecnuot, Equeez- ing his monocle into his eye. Rachel at onoe assumed a sentimental attitude, and in a weuldbe solemn tone responded " Sir, that is the veritable instrument which help- ed me earn my bread in the itreets when I was but a poor little girl." "It is iupossible Ub, do let me be the happy iioeseisor of this interesting relic of your chilohooc. It is a historical treasure which the wo'ld can not I appreciate too highly " "The »ery reason I why I cherish it. I would not (art with it for 50,000 francs." " I will, I mast have it at any price ' " You exaggerate, my dear count "Rachel, I implore you, and in return gladly offer yoa the diamoid bracelet and the ruby necklace which y*u admired so much the other day. You nuy send to the jeweler's forthwith. Come, â-  it a bar- gain " "Well," said Pbxdia, heaving a deep sigh. "I can not refuse you â€" the guitar is youni." The count took it and carried off the precious iustrtment in triumph to show it to his friends Unfor- tunately, Mme. S. went to one of ais recep- tions a couple of weeks later, and, )f course, was also shown the historical guikr. She could not repress an exclamation of tnrpriae, and thus the fact leaked out. Toothsome Hints. ' It is natural for some people to hve better teeth than others, but all must pve atten- tion to their cleansing aud other .reatment if they would have good teeth in od ttge. A moderately stiff brush should be used thoroughly at least twice a dayâ€" morning and night. Soft water (blood-warn) and a mere taste of the best soap â€" whit) castile, for instance â€" are the only requisite besides the brush. Powdeis are generally njurioaa to the enamel, and so are the nuoh ad- vertised liquid mixtures. Strong aeds, like lemon-juice, aredestructive, and the ningling of hot and cold food or drink at meal is very harmful. Use, however, on hard, nitritioua food. Jike well-baked Graham brad and crackers, promotes tooth growth wiile soft, watery food tends to weaken the tath. It is now the opinion of leading dotists in Eurepe and this country that th reaaon there is so much tooth decay in ea-ly life, is in a large degree owing to the soft naterials given to children as fooJ, which as swal- lowed with scarcely any chewing. On the appearance of decay a dentist should e em- ployed. .Much toothache is due to adiges- tion and constitutional debility, and mch so- oalled "neuralgia" may be traced todecay- ed, carious teeth. Care 1 1 the meter of diet, and watchfalnesa wi:h regard to the condition of the teeth, would savepeople a vast dea of suffering and expense. i* •â- â€¢ » Caricattiring the British.

The doctor fin- ally came to the conclusion that be w^s the victim of a nervous attack, and, leaving a nervine, departed. The father contianed laughing until about sundown, when be sad- denly stopped and fell on the floor oomplotly prostrated. He soon grew better, however, ate a hearty supper and spent the evening much as usuaL No signs of a return of the old trouble appearing, be went to bed and wai soon fast asleep. Along about 2 o'clock in the morning, nowevar, hia wife was awakened by hu daughter, and the aame symptoms manifested themselves ai on the afternoon previous. He kept it up until 7 o'clock, laughing loud and strong. At 7 o'clock the noise suddenly ceased aud did not return again until dinner time. Thus it continned, recurring eatch day ahortly after nocn, and in the night about 2 o'clock, and haa ever since. As the week passed be grew (o acouatomed to the diseaae that be was caused very little inconvenience by it. He did not get tired out, aa at first, snd waa soon able to go about his work â€" sowing seed and planting corn, digging vegetables, and watering the cattle â€" while laughing immoderately. He could not talk while under one of the spells, but carried a slate and pencil around with him, after the fashicn of a deaf and dumb person. The trouble was very regular in its com- ing and goine, and only occaaionally broke forth at unlooked-for aeaaona. Once the old man was taken in church, just when the minister was exhorting his hearer.1 in the moat solemn strain?, and spoiled the tffect of the discourse, besides disturbing the equil.brtum of ths clergyman. Another time he was found by one of the neighbours along the road, lyisg beneath a bag of flour, laughing at a terrific rate. He had been taken while driving home trom the mill, and the suddenness of the sounds frightened the horse, causing it to run away and damp the man aad part of his load out in the road. For eighteen months the father was the only one of the household afflicted with the mal- ady. Several of them had complained from time to time of an iachnatioa to join tha father in the laugh, bat none of tbim did ao until nearly two years after he waa taken, wlien Susie, the youngest child, suddenly burst into a similiar fit during one of her father's attacks. From that time on she has laughed at about the tame hours her father does. One by one the remaining i member* fell victim* to the etraoge com- plaint, until three year* ago there was bat ' one left fiee, and that waa Charles, the I oldest son. His long exemption left him to I believe he would escape the csntagion. But he was mistaken, and it is said he had hia I first attack while petitioning for the hand of a Harriaburg damaeL So irigbtened was the lady by the queer behaviour of her suitor that she ran from the room, and it waa weeks before the proper explanations could induce her to see him again. She is now one of the family here, and, eaoaping the malady, never minds the hideous oboras of la\igher which twice a day resounds through the house or ground, it is regarded aa rather strange that none of the neighbour* should have caught the infection, but such is the case, although many of them mingle constantly with the family. Everytning possible haa been done to alleviate or remove the malady, but without perceptible iffeet. Several eminent pbysici ans from the leading cities have visited the home and grown intereated in ths case. They all confess thematlvea baffled, and want one or two of the family to go to the city, where they can receive constant treat- ment. This they refuse to do. Their peculiar trouble, so noticeable and odd, haa made them very sensitive, aud they will not travel where they will be subjected to pubiic scrutiny and remark. They go to church or the store in the village close by, and attend social gatheiings occasionally in the neighbourhood in the evenings, but only among liie-long friends. People within a radius of a few miles are so accustomed to the thing that they never mind or mention ib Conaeqnently, very few people outaide of the immadiate vicinity, and the pbyaioiana who have attended them, are cognizant of the circumstances. The years of incessant laughter have told somewntt on the faces of the family, bat not so as to be very noticeable. There are acores of Itnea nnder the eyes and above the cheeks, caused by the drawing op of the skin. Then their mouths have become wider, and they keep them closed with difficulty. The most marked result of the disease, however, is in the voice. The entire family talk u the aame tone, resembl- iog as nearly aa anything the voice of an alto ainger. Malea and femalea have the aame inflection and intonation. Most of them have more or less trouble with their eyes, several having become very near- aighted. The pupils have contracted and the entire eyenall is diminished in size. This is accounted for by the contraction of tbo eyes while laughing and the effort re- quired in working or reading while under- going an attack. Very little phyaical an- noyance ia caoaed the laughers. 'They read and wri;e, sleep and work without any trouble. The only thing they seem to bw unable to do while attacked is to eat, and that can readily be understood. Several grandchildren have been bom, and in all but one instance they were taken soon after birth with sUUd atUcks at the aame houra as their parents. Of course they do not laugh as the older ooea do, but they crow and expreaa all the aigna of baby glee twice a day, and never cry while in that state. â€" â€" ^^^ IsdiijL The island of Ischia which haa been brought into such mournful prominence lately from the terribio disaater that has fallen on it, is the aaciant Aenaria or Ina- rlme, fabled in mytboloocal story aa the coantry beneath which tha moaater Tvphoeua waa cooesaM.

A reporter of the Chicago /s«r Oesaa haa been investigating the trade in glaaa eyea. From the leading dealer in the Weat, a firm which has sold glaaa eyea for many years, he learned that there were a* many as a thou- sand wearers of them in that city, and that from 600 to 800 eyea are aold there every year. The beat eyea are made at Uri in Germany, the manufacture centering at that glaoe on account of the oocurranoe there of ue ailioates and other mineiala needed in the business. The German eyea aithatand the corrosive action of tear* and other secretions better than thoae made in France. At Uri, are made alao vast qnantitics of eyes used by taxidermiate in monnting birds, animals, snd other natural history speci- mens, besides a superior quality cf glass marbles, known to boys as amtsa. The artificial eye ia a delicate shell or caae, very light and tbio, and concave so aa to fit over what is left of the eyebill.

Twenty years ajp there were aold very many more dark eyea than light, but from that period on the sale of dark eyea haa been perceptibly dying out Now nearly all are light eyes, say twenty light to one dark. In Boaton the per centage is even larger, about thirty-five blue or light eyes to one brown while on the other hand, in New Orleans fifty brown or dark eyes are sold to one light. Segarding the change of colour^in Chicago of coarse faahion has nothing to do with it. No one has yet decree 1 that party-colored optica shall be the rage. The change aimply ahowa that the influx of population has been from the East principally and from northern Europe. Surgical operations are performed mnch more akillfnlly than formerly. Time waa when it waa deemed neceaaary to teke oat the eye entirely. Then the artificial eye became a fixed, glassy, storing object. Now amputotion of portions of the eye can be performed in very many instanoea, and the glass eye fitted on the stump, which moves quite naturally. Sometimes those who have loat an eye will keep two or three artificial snbatituter. They will nae one for the day-light with a small pupil, aud another for night time with a large pupil to ofEaat the dilatation. MISOELLAHEOVS- How pubUcly and as a matter of coarse tha traffic in " black ivory " ii carried on by the Dutch Boer* in Sooth Africa, Lord him- berley recently showed in Parliament by a qnototion from a letter written by the wife of a Boer, in which ahe sutes that a " Boer bad come home with six bead of cattle and oae Kaffir girl, and that another came home with thirty-two large Kaffir girla, whom he waa selling for half a sovereign a piaee." Ischia, the scene of the frightfal earth- quake in which probably 200 lives hare been lost, is a beautiful and remarkably fertile is- land at the nothem entrance of the bay of Naples, much restored to by travellers for it* famona warm baths. Near its centre is a vol- cano, which, however, baa not been in emp- tion for nearly aix centurtaa, and there are a doxen smaller volcanoes on the islet, which contains only tweoty-oix square milee, and a population of absat 36,000.

He hsd hsd bsd iock s gain, and BO the wolf dirided. Bat he begsn to wish he hsd n't ssked the fox to live with him. The next dsy snd the next day it was joat the isme. The wolf had to hunt for both, and be got very tired of it He thought sboat it a great desl, snd the more he thought, the more it seemed to him very queer the fox hsd sach bad lack. One day, when he waa home eariy, he thonght he would go in Ksroh of the fox, and see what he waa about. There wss snow on the ground, snd he could follow the fox's tiacka. He followed along till he came in sight of the hoUow tree, and there he saw the fox. He had had good luck that day, sure enough For, on the ground beside him, there were a fat gooae and two squirrels. The wolf watched him; he wss scratching and digging in the snow by snd by he hsd dug s big hole, and he put the goose and squirrels in snd covered them up, and wherever there were spots of blood onthe snow, he licked them up. 'Aha I' said the wolf to himself. ' I know you now, Mister Fox Fine good feed- ing you 've had between my house snd your cupboard The sooner we part the better.' But the wolf did n't ssy a word to the fox, because he did n't want to quarrel with him. He waa a- fraid of such a clever partner but he made up hia mind he would n't feed him any longer. He went liome to the cave and ate all he wanted for his onm dinner, and what was left he hid away. When the fox came, he fonfld the cave empty. No wolf, no dinner. Nothing but the beds of leaves. The fox waited a long while, and when the wolf did n't come, he went back to the hollow tree and dug np one of the squirrels for his supper. But he went back to the wolfs house to sleep. The next morning, the wolf lay asleep in the bed, beside him. The fox spoke to him and shook him then the wolf turned over, and said he was sick and could n't bunt that day So the tox went away by himself. It was a bad day for hunting â€" very win- dy and the snow blew so, he could n't see far before his face. He lay in the bushes and watched, but he could n't find a thing to eat, so he had to go back to bis own hole under the hollow tree. He was scraping the snow away from the hole, when a wind blew through the bare trees â€" a great wind that came from a long way off. The fox heard it coming, and heard the trees creak and rattle their dry boughs. It came on, whoo-oo-ool till it struck the hollow tree over it went, and the fox was un- derneath. He lay there all night he was n't dead, but he could n't stir the tree held him down, and one of his legs was broken. He lay their all the next day and hia lego hurt him so, he oould not help crying, and he was awfully hungry. When it was evening again, and the moon shone on the snow, he saw a shadow coming, slow â€" ^slow â€" across the white moonlight. It was old Mas- ter Wolf, who had come to look for hia partner. He was walking softly, for he thou(bt tho fox might be at aome of his tricks but the fox was quiet enough now. ' Well, ' said tho wolf, ' here you are ' ' Yes here lam,' the fox said ' I hope you have n't waiteid dinner for me.' The wolf saw the blood on the snow. He knew it was the fox's blood and that he was hurt. ' It serves him right,' he said to himself. The fox tur- ned his eyea up at him, for he waa fast- ened down, and ootild n't move his head. ' You need n't come back to the cave,' said the wolf there ia n't room for two. Oood-night ' and than be went back over the hill. But he walk- ed very slowly. He kept walking slower and slower, and by and by, he stopped and listened. The fox had tried not to moan while the wolf was there, but nuw his pain made him cry out, and the wolf heard him, fo%- the woods were still ' After all,' he said, he's my partner. I chose him myself. ' He thought about it a little while long- er, and then he went back to the tree. ' See here, now,' he aaid to the fox, « I don't owe you anything, but I don't mind doing you a good turn if you wont expect anything more from me.' « I don't expect anything,' the fox ssid. ' I never have. I have n't asked you to help me, hsve IV 'No, yo« have n't, but I will.' He worked away at the tree, digging and'gnawing, until he got the fox loose, and he crawled out aud limped away over the snow. ' Better take along what you 've got in your hole!' the wolf called after him. "Thank you I I '11 leave that for you,' said the fox. • I owe you more than that' The wolf did n't take it, though be waa hungry. Somehow it seemed to him it would n't taste good. But the fox came back that night, and dug up tho old goooe and carried it away! The wolf never saw him sgsin.' Now there waa silence in the room and Mamma, listening for Bobbie's voioB snd not hearing it, rose and went sofUy to the bed.

Bamhardt has agreed to prolong ber atay in this country. There is naturally more length than breadth in her steys. A gentleman who happened to be in Rome a few years sg when Sothem was there, went oat one day to the Piucian Hill to withefa the sunset. " The afternoon, a fine one, had brought out the Nabobs in carri- ages, and the bobs on foot. As the orb sank, and the band ceased to p'ay, a hand tell lightly on my shoulder, and a voice said, ' King down the red fira's out.' It was the voice of Dundreary on the hill of Lucallns." Thb elder Coquelin, whom Edwin Booth regards aa the greatest French artist he has seen, is far more Irish than French in ap- pearance, and is the image of Oliver Qoli- smith. The well-aat oboervan^, eomic eve, the noae, the full cheeks, and the bocea rtaen- ta of the actor resemble cloaely those of the Irish poet, dramatist, and novelist. Co- quelin would be just aa poor as Goldamith, if hia wife did not take hia money from him to inveat.

She has even been known to take a cup of tea. After the plsy she is often ths life of a aopper party. Though lackimt the gift of wit, she enjoys it keenly in others, and hai a lively aeiue of humor.
