to add ornament to tho unpretentious ex-

Small woodcuts representing anything tho
fancy can concoivo hno been cut out of
magazinos and " picture papers" by tho
grandmothorly scisssors nnd conscientiously
stuck upon this pinewciod box. Then sho
arnishcd it and was happy. Hor art souse
was Hoothod.
Children of this favored hour can "seo
thoir grnudams and go thorn ono hotter "on
tho scrap-boxos. Tho manufacturers of
Christmas cards and other lithogruphio pic
turos print small objects by tho hundred, all
ready for children to pa6to into books or on
boxes. Thcso pictures nro cnt out, tho paper
is stamped so ns to givo tho object a certain
roundnosB.nud thoy uro in bright colors, still
further heightened by arnish.
They como iu sheets of half n dozen or
more, nnd nil tho child has to do is to cut
them apart nnd paste thorn into n book or on
tho box. Two hundred of them, each ono
dillcrent from all tho othors, can bo bought
for 60 cents.
Tho animal kingdom, tho realm of flowers,
small landscapes, with pictures humorous or

In one houso which prints tms sort of thing
more than seven hundred workmen aro em.
ployed. Thoy ato trained to tho work from
childhood.
A Nassau stroot dealer who handles thorn
has sent these tiny " scrap pictures " to tho
four quarters of tho world. Young ones in
Australia, small droll-faced Chinese- babies,
dusky South American children, littlo Rus
sian connoisseurs amuse thomsolvos with
these bcraps.
Ouoycar.the dealer received nearly forty
thousaud lcttors. Of courso, ho luhertises a
good deal and carries n large stock, but tho
number of thcso small pictures bought is
almost incrediblo.
This is an art kindergarten for children.
Thoy learn to select tho ones they liko best

ffVoet St, leuil Ittpbllean,
Whllo afc Constantinople I had an Hnvltatlnn to
assist at an Armonlan wedding, the young bride
being tho daughter of a wealthy powder manu
facturer nnd tlio bridegroom a rluiplo clerk In tho
onlru ot the I.emnt Ttmtf, a tapir ulilchlnra
longtime enjojed the csjieclal f or of the Suit in
Azl7, on account of Its nducacy nf a change In the
succeimlnu ol prince to the throne. As the law la,
tho whole ol Ihe family of brother muit rcum be
foro the on or tho oldctt brother can nplro to the
throne, and Sultan Ariz nlwnys wished to lno the
succession changed so that his son would take ti la
pi ice Instead of his brothers. Afterwards this piper
was suppressed arbitrarily fir somo trlflo nnd
sul seipii utly nlnat'teil tn lie iiimIii suppressed. A
ncMsiuipir nnsnhurd tlnioln lurkej.
1 hi young brldoironn was tall. cll built and
good-looking, with blown, curly board nnd lulr,
nnd ut ho was but n poor clerk. Hut the ureeks
nnd Armenians, us well as the majority of Uuiopem
nations, are not proud la that riapect. A y'jinig
man iwtnuut a Jilalcr Is not too s.nallivo to meipt
u lortuno with his bride, nnd, liuiccd, no vmng
tilrl In tnojo notions can get a liimlmml at all with
out having a handsome dowry iho larger tho
dour) the younger, handsomer and mure aristo
cratic a husband alio caught and tho amount of
duury Is stated when ho la naked to consider the
inaluen'a claims lo his admiration. Among tlio
Aiimnlani, .11 tho Grcckr nnd lurks, tho )uug
people never meet nlone, nor do they no their own
preliminary courtlmr. Old women go-betweens
reemployed usually toco to tho young nun and
descant upon her bcuutles of pernon niul character,
nnd tho uiuoiint of hei dowry, und then, ir the
latter h l.irce enough, the woman returns and
ictlM the family that the younj man demands the
hand of the ouug lady, gomttltno brothers un
lertjke tn find miltnMu hitidmntls for their r-lstcru,
but usually tno professional matchmaker are em
ploy cd.
In tho case of tho couplo to whoso wedding I
went tho old woman had gonn oown to the oillce
and made ncr proposal there, winch ho accepted
on condition that thu dowry was actually what It
represented, which waa S0.U00 'InrKlsU llr', or
nearly $100,000, and this was considered a ood
dowry, and therefore the young girl wo ury
atirac tle.
'lho oimg man, Haskar byname, received the
money all together the day before the ceremony,
according to custom, and nut of that lie bought his
weddlog suit and a nandiome necklace or tur
quoUc and brilliants lor his wedding present to
her. In lho evening, after liaMwr iccetved tho

This nildcbrand who w as llrst in lllsmnrck's ser

finally settled In Wisconsin aud died a few years
ngo. He told a characteristic story of lllsmarck la
tho tough days or his youth. A party of olllccrs,
voting lllsmarck among them, were having a
carouse. Champagne n.id been flowing with tho
greatest freedom und lho spirits of tho party had
risen accordingly, lllldcbrand was a big, strap
ping man, aud physically ablo to handle any or the

Fluaily bo entered inio a short eulujiy or tne faith

questionably nn acilt'cnt, and a very sad one.
'Ihere aro certain assessment associations who are
much more promrt in lollectlog assessments than
In paying claims, and this suicide cry 1s frequently
raised iu such eases to gain time to pass the hat. I
do not know how the rumor spread, but
some of tho associations Intineted in thla caso

In thcysoft twilight, as tho steamer turned her prow
down the Hudson, tho Chinese started to slag
hymns. I.litlo groups .were scattered hero and
thero about the decks and everything was as Jolly
as 1111 ordinary oxcurslou. Thero ws nu appear
unco ot restraint, nud pupils and teachers joked
aud laughed aud loolcd with each other Just as
they would ou a regulation American excursion,

no harm to any one. It is a trlbuto to the unfail

his love awaiting him.
Ho was not a sentimental young man, but
somehow ho felt a strange thrill just then and
his strong young voice burst into song.
