A Box oa ho Bar and a Bos With Diamond Ornament. - The following andedote was written autobiograpbically by Mme. Feulllet, wife of the famous French writer.. At the time of the incident she was A young girl of - seventeen, living with her parents in a provincial town of Which her father was mayor.- One day news came that Louis Napoleon intended passing through and wonld spend one night In the. town. As may Mr Mme. Feulllet's father had to ar range the details of the reception and festivals to be given in the emperor's honor, ' while It was agreed that bis daughter must present him with a bou quet at the ball to be given In the even ing : ". -... :. Father and daughter were pleased enough, but one person in the mayor's household suffered acutely. Hme. Feull- I Jet's mother was an ardent royalist, and to uer tne new imperial dynasty appeared an - intolerable usurpation. According to her daughter, the ar rangements for Napoleon's ; arrival pulled her two ways. She was, pleased that ber daughter should have been chosen for prominence, anxious that her ball dress should be the most be coming possible, proud In her maternal Instincts and at the same time exas perated, reluctant, furious a royal re ception should be given at all to a man she considered an upstart and an ad venturer. The day. came, and the fu ture Mme. Feulilet, with a Btrlng of other young girls dressed in white, was pluced along the Hue of procession. When It passed everybody shouted, and cheered, and the girl, -carried away by the excitement on every side of ber, did. the same. Suddenly she felt a burning, stinging sensation upon one cheek, and before she could realize what had happened she . was being dragged back out of the crowd by her mother," whose face was crimson and whoso eyes were. blazing with anger. Then the girl understood. Unable to bear her own daughter joining the en emy and crying out "Long live Napo leon!" she had publicly and furiously boxed her ears and was now dragging her ignomlnjously home like A child in disgrace. ,' The girl spent the afternoon on her bed sobbing with the shock and the shame of what had happened. The great big bouquet . for the evening stood In a jug and perfumed her little bedroom; her snowy ball dress lay spread over a chair. She dressed final ly,, .feeling the savor gone out .of Ufe, but when from under an arch of flow ers In the ball room she made ber little speech and presented ber .bouquet ex citement returned to iter. Louis Napo leon took them, she thought, somewhat coldly, and, being very pretty as well as seventeen, the girl felt chilled and a little inclined to go over to the political views of her mother. . But the next morning as Louis Napoleon was step ping into his carriage to leave be asked that she might be sent for. -When she came he thanked her again for the beautiful bouquet of bright fowers she had given him' the evening before though they had not been more bright than the lovely eyes above them ana In return he. begged her to accept a small reineiniirance of his pleasure and gratitude. The carriage left, and the girl opened the little case be bad put la her hands. A beautiful diamond or nament lay on a nurface of white vel vet Paris Annates.- V The Starr of a Hymn. . Tbe following is the story of how the famous missionary bymn, "From Greenland's Icy Mountains," came to be written, as related by Hebers biog rapher, George. Smith: "It was Whit sunday In the year 1810. His father-in-law, the dean of St. Asaph, was vicar of Wrexham and arranged to preach the missionary sermon on the day appointed; On - the - Saturday, when preparing for the aervices, the dean asked bis son-in-law , to write something for them to sing In tbe morning. The almost immediate result was tbe composition, as If by An in spiration, of what Is still the greatest bymn in the chief missionary, language of the race. 'Retiring to a corner of tbe room, Heber at once wrote down the first three verses, beginning 'From Greenland's icy- mountains,' when the dean called out, 'What have you writ ten?'. Heber read over tbe lines, when the dean exclaimed, 'There, there; that will do very well." 'No,' replied tho poet; 'the sense is not complete,' and added the fourth verse. He would have gone on with a fifth,. but the dean was Inexorable to bis request, 'Let me add another oh. let me add another r And the bymn was sung next morning In Wrexham church.'' Bidden Jewels. . .' The quantity of turquoises that lie bidden in Jewelry, combined with oth er stones and with gold or by them selves, is so extensive In tbe cities of eastern Europe that it Is believed that more of them are bought by gem mer chants in this way than are at present secured from the principal mines. This Is not strange, however, for not only turquoises, but other precious stones, are known to exist In remark, ably large-collections in Constantinople as well as in cities In Turkestan, Per sia and communities of southeastern Europe. They are hidden away In gin ger jars, rugs, old boxes and other re ceptacles of the household, where the owner believes there is little prospect of search being made -for them. Gem collectors who have searched for stones In this part of the world aay that no one can tell bow many and what valu able specimens are thus bidden-away. only to be brought to light when tbe owner is absolutely, forced to part with them through dire necessity. Undoubt edly many a gem brought from the fa mous mines of India, Egypt and Per sia has been thus secreted. People's Mag-ulna , Tm Sides m-m Weed. Miss Sharp I've paid this bill once.

It Was B.tw.en Two Men, and tht - Climax Wat Pathetlo. A blind man was making his way o.ut Washington avenue, using: his cane as a guide for his feet. Across his chest was a placard bearing the legend, "I am blind," and suspend ed by a chain around his neck was a small tin cup, a convenient recep tacle for charity coins. It vas broad daylight, ; and he knew that stretch of walk bo well that he felt very little fear of ac cident. He was about the middle of the block, so he did not have to look out for the step down from the pavement to the cross street. Thero are never many pedestrians out that far on Washington avenue, and no one is going to run ruthlessly into a blind man. ' -y " ' ' 'i- He was striding bravely along when, to his utter astonishment, he collided with a rapidly moving ob ject. -The object was a man, who grew very angry, for the impact had dislodged his hat. It had also served to hurl tho blind man back ward, so that he must have fallen had it not been for the man who BpfanjrYo the rescue and who tells the story, y -'":-, . -- " - ; "Haven't you 'got any sense?" the - enraged man cried. . "Now, you'd better pick up my hat, you at - - awKwara luooarai "I can't," the disconcerted fellow replied. "I think it was your own fault. You ought to look where you are going." - 5 "How can I look where lam go ing ? Can't you see that I am blind f It is you who ought to look where you are going and' not go, bumping into a blind man." "What's that? You blind? I didn't know. I couldn't tell, you sec, I am blind too, I'm Sorry I knocked off your bat. ' I'm afraid I can't heljj ou find it.- I wonder which way it rolled" : y The other man was staring blank ly at him. Then he gropod his way forward,' fell upon the. other blind man's neck and said in a broken voice: "We blind people get selfish. expecting all the world to get out of our way. I didn't mean to talk to vdu as I did." - ; By this time the witness to the little tragedy had picked up the bat tered hat, dropped a coin into each cup and hurried on, saddened but grateful for the -priceless gift of sight St. X.0U18 tiioDe-uemocrau The Fattidious Publlo. v v A young man-who had given an excellent account, of himself while on trial as a conductor was very . - i - i .1 m 1 .LI. - much . surprised wnen toia dv me superintendent that he would not be satisfactory as a permanent em ployee. - What's the matter?" he sked.

Practical Saaaestlons For Securing Good Rosda. In an article recently lb the Auto Advocate, Dr. H. H. St. John of Edlua, Mo., told how physicians might help secure good roads as follows: - "IfTuiy ono man on tho face of this earth knows how to appreciate a good road it 4&.the physician. Except II might be a fireman on the call of duty In the suburbs of some town or city none can appreciate better than be ot she who has a life to save tho ines timable advantage of a good road, par tlcularly when compolled to drive ovei It aLnlght. What then cau the physi cian do to assist In the promotion thereof? ' "There are at least throe practical ways or suggestions offering them selves vte, one Is the education of tht people, the iilipwlng to the practical ev eryday taxpaying farmer that good roads are good investments and pay over 800 per cent on the net cost . "Educate them, show them the aw ful waste, the actual loss of money ev ery time they haul a load or empty wagon over a poor road, the wear an tear on their buggies, wagons or carts; show them that the cost of building s good road Is but little greater than that of keeping up a little dirt In the cen ter and that a road once well built li easy to repair and Is a good road fot many years. 1 What roads have evei superseded those In Great Britain, many of which are In existence yet, but all oT which - owe their firmness, solidity and durability today to tbe old foundations built by the Romans cen turies ago when Britain was nothing but dense forests, plains and - ever glades? '. "Who, then, better than tbe physi cian,' who has tbe entree Into out homes and Is Imbued with all the free dom and privilege of an exclusive member of every family be visits, who has a better right or is better capable of doing a right loyal part In tbe fight for good Toads? Ho is revered, re spected, looked up to, and .bis vlewi are accepted with a degree of positive ness and assurance 'bred in the mindl of his bearers by bis calling and bit higher education. "Secondly,, let every physician wh owns or controls a -section of roadway along his property set the example oi building and maintaining a good road Then his teaching will have effect among his hearers, bis efforts in try Jng to establish county and state good road funds, uniformity of road build Ing.etc, will have weight and effect. . "Thirdly,-let' physicians as a class, s -special -class, express their wllllngnesi to sumhit. in the cause of humanity to a special nominal tax per annum to a State fund apart from whatever othel ordinary taxes ttioy in common with others have to meet, said 'tax to be known and recognized as "the phy sicians' own good road subscription,' and It will become before long such I source of pride and glorification of phy . slclans as n "class that not only will II react as a special lever to their teacb tag qualities, but other professions and classes, like sheep following a leader, will be anxious to e'mulate them and from a sense of pride to see who can furnish' the largest pr& rata 'per an num In the state.

Muny poultry . fanciers, and espe cially those who wish to exhibit are In too great a hurry; they want to breed winners at once. Vigor and utility are Sacrificed in order to obtain certain points, ynt the same results might be attained without this . loss if a little mere patience were exercised. De fects and undesirable points can be gradually eliminated and wished for points can be bred In without the loss of any utility properties If sufficient time is allowed for the process. The extreme matings and the Inbreeding practiced In order to obtain Immediate results frequently end In causing tbe amateur to give op in disgust. It is the plodding, patient breeder who suc cessfully runs fancy and utility hand In hand and reaps the dual advantage. Going "Out" to Dinner. A Philadelphia business man had as guest a friend from Toledo, an ex tremely busy individual, little fa miliar with the social graces. For the first evening of his stay a dinnci party had been arranged. The host ess had provided a most attractive young woman for the Toledo man, and it was thought, that he would take a desperate fancy to her, which, indeed, he did. When tbe guests had gathered and were ready to go out tho host, with his politest bow, said, "Mr. Blank, will you please take Miss Dash out to dinner?" "Certainly," responded the Toledo man, with alacrity, "but I undo. stood that we were to have dinner here in the house." Argonaut. taking No Chances. ""Here's a good scheme," she said, looking up from the paper she had been reading. He seemed a trifle suspicious, but it was so evident that he was ex pected to answer that be made the inquiry.

The Bo r dene Women Have to Baa When Ho.er la Short. Head about the experiences of folks who live on small Incomes, and It Is enrious to study tbe different note hi which a husband or a wife tolls the story. The man tells bow pretty is bis home, how well dressed are his chil dren, bow appetizing tho table always looks and how good is the food. There is n ring of pride, of satisfaction, of joyousness, In the man's recltnl of the story. But when the wlfetifells the story the pride may be there, but the same note of joy is lacking. In her telling you feel the hand of one who does it rather than the one who sees It done or sees only the results. You seem to feel a little closer to the actual thing Itself and what it costs not in money so much as In labor to do It The difference lies In the fact that the husband sees tbe results; tbe jwlto achieves tbem. Tbe man swells 'with pride as be speaks of ber as the right kind of a wife, as the one woman in a thousand and so on. But with all bis pride, wltb all the credit he la ready to give her and does give, the fact re mains that the man has by fur the bet ter of the bargain In the matter of living on a small income. Hard as be may work outside the home to bring the money In, tbo wife must -work harder to spend the money wisely, keep within the Income and perhaps Save something. We bear a good deal now adays of overworked men, but how lit tle, comparatively speaking, do we hear of overworked women In the home.- Tet a woman baa so much less to do with, physically, than a man. The work of no man earning a small salary begins to equal tbe work of bis wife to make that salary suffice. Where rigid economy has to bo practiced the heaviest burdens Invariably come upon the wife.

An old man whose millions were all the time rolling up other millions for bun not long since happened to notice the tin lunch pail of the new office boy whose home was across the ferry from tbe big city: It chanced tbat the lad was the newest and youngest of the numerous boys employed by the Arm of which the old man was tbe bead and iad not bad time to become acquainted with tbe personnel of tbe office.

EEE'S UXATIVE HONEY am TAR CURIS COUOHS ADO COLDS CALL FOR NATIONAL ROAD. An Appeal to Hare Famoas Hlsrhway Rebnllt br tlis Qor.ram.at - The National Good Roads associa tion, with headquarters In St Louis, has sent out tho following appeal to motorists, says tbe New York Amer ican: "The National Good Boads associa tion Is a powerful forco for good, and Its work is accomplishing results in all parts of tho United States. It Is en gaged in many things that will benefit the people. One of tho .great schemes It bus In mind and which It has set about to accomplish is the repair and rebuilding of tho great national road across Maryland, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Ohio and Indiana. "That memorable road was Intended to bo one of the highways between tbe east and tbo west before railroads were known. It was built at great expense, costing tho federal government over $7,000,000, and during the early days was a famous highway over which thousands traveled every week. When railroads came Into existence the na tional road was neglected, and today It Is only a skeleton of what it once was. "It Is proposed to rebuild It and tbe National Good Roads association has undertaken to have it done by the gov ernment. The length of the road Is about 700 miles, and it can be rebuilt for less than $7,000,000. That Is about tho cost of one good battleship, and we are building lots of them. The appro priation of that sum to make this old road across flye states' would do as much good as the average battleship, for not one such Bblp In ten will ever get In a fight. Then when the old road has been put In good shape to the Mis sissippi river It may be that the price of about tbreo other battleships will be set aside to build tbe road to the Pa cific coast. -. - -. '""'' "One first class continuous highway across the continent would be a great thing. Many a traveler would spend two or three months going and coming by team, bicyclo, automobile or other wise. It would bo easy for the nation to do a thing like this. "In 1005, 150,000 Americans visited Europe and for the privilege of going over the first class European roods paid over $500,000,000' .

' Hew Dairy Developments. 'Two new dairy developments tbat mean much for, tbe success of both farmer butter-makers and creamery men are tbe discoveries that washing butter with wetter that baa been boiled and then cooled and churning fresh cream In which a starrer has been placed definitely improve tbe keeping quality of butter. Tbe first discovery, by Professor McKay of the Iowa Agri cultural college, has its- basis in tbe fact that unboiled spring or well wa ter frequently contains germs that have an unfortunate effect upon but ter. Tbe second discovery, by Pro fessor Dean of tbe Ohio Agricultural college, comes of numerous compart. .sons of butter made from cream ripen ed hi the usual manner and butter made from fresh cream prepared with starters. Tbe ripening process, once a starter is placed In tbe new cream, can go on during tbe buttermaklng. Insur ing the butter by the time of packing to be in perfect condition. Tbe ad vantages of the Ohio discovery are the saving of time formerly given over to tbe ripening of cream and tbe saving Of tbe cream from tbe Influence of bacteria floating In the air during tbe time of ripening. Ohio creamerymeo report tbat butter made by tbe new method scores definitely higher than tbat-made by old time plana. It keeps very much better. Farm. Field and Fireside. ew Methed ef HaklMr Satlaf. Tbe department of agriculture notes a new method of making butter in nmt Britain, where Instead of using water for washing butter separator skim milk Is used which has been twice Maiatrind: KaltM and nnsalted but ter prepared In this manner contained. respectively, 11 ana u per cent ot wa ter, tbe former containing only one fifth as many bacteria. Further ex periments are being conducted at the British dairy Institute, and it la con sidered that the results are sufficiently interesting to warrant catling the at tention of buttermakers wbo bare an Impure water supply to this simple method of overcoming that difficulty arising from washing butter with wa fer filled with bacteria. PLAYING TURTLE. A Came In Which Ererr One la ! at the Same Time. Any number may play the game of turtle, and no one player is "it" for all are "it" together. The game begins by each choosing the kind of turtle he Intends to be. One perhaps is a land tortoise, another a snapper, another sand turtle and so on. Then they all ait in a row, resting their fhlns oa their knees, and each holding bis left ankle with his right hand and his right ankle, wltb hi left hand. This Is a very difficult position to keep. , At a given signal the turtles start for a goal ' short distance away. i It is tht object of the game for the turtles to waddle to the goal and back to the starting point without removing their hands from their feet Many let go before tbe proper moment! the Oth ers shout "dead turtle" and keep on, leaving their unfortunate companion In the background.

A curious tradition exists about a strange insect which Is found only in Hlmejl, a pretty little town near the center of Japan. It seems there one lived a rich noble tn a castle on the outskirts of the town who was famouav for the magnificence of his dishes,, among which were tan bowls of solid; gold. In bis employ was a maidserv ant O-Klku, to whom waa Intruatedk the care of the plate. One day a fold dish was missing. She searched dlltf gently, but in Tain, and in ' despair; drowned herself In a well. Her ghost, returned each night to the spot and eould be heard counting tbe dishes slowly with, sobs, "Ichl-mai, nl-mai,; san-mai, yo-mai, go-mat roku-mai, cht-' chl-mal, ha-chl-mal, ku-mal," to nine, when there would follow a loud, wall lhg cry, and the uncanny count would, begin over again. At last the useasy spirit passed into tbe body of an Insect whose bead' somewhat resembled a ghost with long,, tousled hair, and In that part of Japan it Is considered un lucky to cultivate the chrysanthemum, as tbe girl's name, O-Kika, mean thrysanthemmn. - - - - The aiaas Washer. When you dine en famille at a house where each glass on the table is worth $20 you naturally wonder how the sen-ants manage to wash and dry so costly and delicate an article without breaking. I put the question to a matron who is her own housekeeper, "Tell me how many of your beautiful goblets, tumblers, wineglasses, sherry glass es, etc., are broken every week." She replied:, "Every glass is insured by a company formed for tho pur pose. This, company sends to us every day .an expert -glass washer, a Bohemian,- and if he breaks any thing it has td be paid for. Our butler keeps tab op him, of course. Ho breaks very few pieces, indeed. Before he came to us we lost a great many through the carelessness of our maids."-r-Now York Press. ; i ... ! A Puzzler. It is not often that a class of school children is permitted to ex amine 113 teacher, but a Glasgow pedagogue was so pleased at the way his pupils answered his questions in an examination that ha told them they could ask any question they liked. No one took advantage of the offer, and the teacher was about to dismiss the class when he no ticed one little chap in deep thought "Well, what is itrho asked. . "I was just about to ask you, sir," replied the youth, "whether, if you were in a soft mud heap up to the neck and I was to throw a brick at you, would you duck ?" . A Court ef Law. A new definition of law was given recently by a negro in court. This man, a witness, was roaring out his testimony. "Stop!" the judge commanded. "Don't you know you're in court?" "Ya-a-as'r," replied the negro. "Well, don't you know what a Courtis?" , "Oh-h-h, ya-a-es'r," said the old fellow, with a bow. "Ya-a-as'r; a co't is a place whab! dey dispenses with justice!"
