"No man can have a pure mind who refuses apple dumplings," he said, and Coleridge's friend, Charles Lamb, who reports this saying, adds: "I am not certain but he is right With the decay of my first in nocence, I confess a less and less relish daily for those innocuous cates. There is a physiognomical character in the tastes for food. The whole vegetable tribe has lost its bust with me. Only I still stick to asparagus, which still seems to inspire gentle thoughts." London Mail. Inducements to Matrimony. There prevails in some parts of Brit tany a curious marriage custom. On certain fete days the marriageable girls appear in red petticoats, with white or j-ellow borders around them. The number of borders denotes the portion the father is willing to give his Slaughter.

Underclothing made of finely crisped or grained paper is manufactured in Japan. After the paper has been cut to a pattern the different parts are sewn together and hemmed, and the places where the buttonholes are to be formed are strengthened with . calico or linen.

Aftei a garment has been worn a few hours It will interfere with the perspiration of the body no more than do garments made of cotton fabric. The paper is not sized, nor is It impermeable. Aftei becoming wet the paper is difficult to tear. "When an endeavor is made to tear it by hand it presents almost as much resistance as the thin skin foi making gloves.
