The true story of the origin of -Oliver

thinking of following it up by a story
of London life, with which he was
more familiar than with English coun

Charley Bate, pictures of BUI 81kcs

these character sketches, and the re
sult was that be changed the whole
plot of "Oliver Twist" Instead of
taking bini through spiritless adven

Into the thieves den in London, showed

Thus It will be seen that George

CARE OF MIRRORS.
Tfcia Peculi " r.aUaianee.
On tho slopes oi liie Ural mountains
and la Braall, California, AustralU,
Canada and many other countries a pe
culiar substance known as native plati
num la found. This la an alloy of the
metal platinum, palladium, Iridium,
osmium, rhodium and ruthenium, to-a-ether
with a little gold and Iron. All
or these except the last mentioned are
the "noble" metals. They do not tar
nish In the air and are not soluble la
any single acid. The most plentiful
metal occurring In native platinum I
that from which It takes Its name.
This metal Is of a grayish color and
with one exception is the heaviest sub
'stance known. Its fusing roint Is ex
tremely high, and this property, to
gether with Its freedom from tarnish
ing, causes It to be largely used for the
manufacture of cruciojes auu
.vessels required by scientists to stand
a very high temperature. It Is also
oraetimes twod as a substitute for go d
in photography, and when deposited in
a thin film on the interior of the tubes
.Mnci It forms a dead black
surface, which prevents the light from
being reflected by the polUhed sides
Palladium Is of a lustrous white
color. It is the most easily fused of
the metals found In platinum ore, and
can even be volatilised. A curious
quality which this metal possesses Is
that when heated to redness it is
porous to hydrogen gas, allowing It to
pass through somewhat in the same
manner that blotting paper permits the
nassage of water. The silvery white
color of palladium and its' freedom
from tarnishing render Mt useful for
making scales and division mark on
dentine instruments. A mixture , ot

Betty, the Infant Roscius. when at
the zenith of his Juvenile fame was on
one occasion walking with some laole.s
when another bevy of female admirers
bore down upon him and. pulling him
away from his companions, commenced
to lavish upon him endearments and
kisses. The others promptly rushed to
their idol's rescue, who between the
contending parties, each determined to
possess the boy actor, was thrown to
the ground and so much bruised an
injured as to be unable to appea for a
couple of nights.
Insignificant, however, was this mis
chance to the fate that befell M. de
Lansy. a courtier of the time.of Douls
XV whose supreme conceit so Irritat
ed certain ladies of the court that they
resolved to Inflict upon him a novel
.punishment. Feigning one day to be
overcome by the beauty of his face and
'person, they fell upon him en masse,
hugging and kissing the wretched dan
dy till he cried for mercy. Deaf to his
entreaties, the ladles continued their
merciless caresses until the object of
their mock love, who Indeed was but a
sorry weakling, in endeavoring to break
away from their clutches broke a blood
vessel and died a rew aays uiict.

Tb Bed Cmmlr.
The sedan chair Is named after Se
dan, tho town where It was first used.
The earliest mention of It In England
occurs In 1581. Early In the following
century the Duke of Buckingham
caused much Indignation by Its use In
London. Teople were exasperareu
that nobleman employing his fellow
men to take the place of horses to car
ry him. Prince Charles brought from
Spain in 1623 three curiously wrought
sedans, two of which be gave to the
Duke of Buckingham. A few weeks
after their introduction Masslnger pro
duced Ms play, "The Bondman," and
in it ha thus adverts to the ladles:
For their pomp and care being- borne
In triumph on men's mouiaent.
The reference is doubtless to Buck
ingham's sedan, which was borne like
a palanquln-"Bygono EngUnd."

To expUln why his trip had proved

Claderella. aad Her Slipper.
Yes; I know you are saying to your
self, "That headline would have looked
and' sounded better had it been 'Cinder
rfln and the Glass Slipper," says a
critic, but the writer has been making
a close study of this mort Interesting
nursery story and finds that the fa
mous "glass" slipper properly has no
place in it The "glass" slipper is real
ly the "fur." "cloth" or "felt" slipper,
the word "glass" having been substi
tuted through a strange mistranslation
of the story- In the original it was
written pantoufle en valr, which, being
translated, would be "the fur slipper."
The translator, however, wrote it as if
It had been pantoufle en verre, making
the "little cinder girl's" fur foot cover
ing one of glass, which, it must be ad
mitted, would be one quite appropriate
to a fairy.
A Cinch.
The editor of the Glasgow Echo avers
he is not much of a sport; but, he says,
"when we meet a cinch In the road we
recognize it" He accepted a proposi
tion the other day, made by a friend,
through which he was to give his
friend a dime for every time a woman
nassed them and did not put her hand
. . .. . n nil
behind her to learn 41 ner tu.u.. woo
right behind. On the other hand, the
editor's friend agreed to give him a
nickel for each time a woman felt of
her belt behind, "we got sixiy-iwu
nickels," the molder of opinion says,
"and paid him one dime. A woman with
both arms full of parcels came along."
Wax From Tree.
The wax palm of the. Andes is a veg
etable wonder. It grows to a height of
nearly 200 feet and thrives not only on
the plains, but the mountains. The
wood Is tough and durable and is em
ployed In carpentry. , The wax comes
from the pits between the trunk and
fronds. It Is yellow or grayish white.
Is as pure as beeswax and Is used for
making candles. A peon climbing the
trees can gather from twenty to thirty
pounds from each.
