STOllY Of A NOVKI, WAliKIl. Tli in is not precisely n great market for precious stones, writes 11 Vicuna correspondent (r tho Chicago Times, but tile jewelers ill a J I It'sl i Ml llllVO nolle tlio less acquired u 1Z 1 1 imi 1 1 cchhrity for diamond necklaces, which arc said to surpa-s anything of tho k i ml to be found in London or Paris. 1 1 1 they certainly are expensive, ami 1 ho hus bands iiihl lovers are few mid far be tween who can nH'ord to invest in one of Mes rs. X.'s necklaces to adorn (lie fair nooks of the women of their hearts. Hence the hum of satisfac tion that was henrd union;; tho shop men n few il l vm ago when a well-dross-Cil young geui Iclmtli entered I lie shop, iiitroilue. il hiiiisell' as Count ()., ami then expressed his v. i-h In s"o the heiiil of the I'll in lor the purpose, I,,, t-aiil, of ordering n iliunioinl ueeklaee. Mr. X. very soon ilnwn, his fnee olio vast, substantial smile, ami signi lieil his readiness to ilo the w ill of his (list ingu isheil isitor. "1 want a diamond neelilaer," Win the reply, "bill the very best you have." "Wu have none but the lust, Count; but as tastes ilill'er, you shall see all we have here now, ami ean chojse the one that pleases you most." Ami in it few minutes the young llobleiiiaii's eyes Were literally duzlod with : (rings of precious slmms, which looked like serpents of lire ami light lis they were, eoileil ami uncoiled, catching in their movements tho rays of the selling sun, as they came through the plate-glass wimlowsof the shop. The Count greatly admired the dis play, carefully i'ainiiieil the necklace, Mono alter stone, then stepped back a few paces, ami viewed each nun apart, and, alter il Ion;;- hour's inspection, said : 'Tluso three strike my fancy with eipial force, Imt I only require one. I cannot choose between them. 1 will certainly I ike one of them, but 1 think I must leave the choice to the lady herself. Her name is no doubt famil iar to your ears Miss W ," and he mentioned the name of one of the best hinders in Austria ami central Kurope. "Familiar !" replied tin) head of the firm, "I should think it was. She is olio of our best customers. " "How curious!" remarked the Coniiit. "Well, now, want you to send these three necklaces to the lady mid 1 will look in lu re tomorrow ami pay tho bill. She will have made her hoiee by that time. " "With pleasure, Count, with plcii Mire. I trust you will honor us with jour custom in the future."' "Certainly I will, tiood afternoon." And the Count was gone. Heir X. pon I. red a few moments over the whole transaction before carrying out the instructions. Lvery thing, however, scoiue.' in perfect order. The young man belonged to one of the best and richest families in the monarchy providi d, of course, that the Hume he had given really be longed to lit hi. Nobo Iv knew the members of (u family by sight, hut their palace was m: far oil", an 1 but, lio, there was no need of sending over to inako inquiries, and there might be sonic inc mveuieiices, and the young man might possibly like to keep the transaction to himself. 15 -sides, there could be no dinger in taking the things to the la ly, for she was well known to the firm one of the best customers, in tact ami ten diamond necklaces would be abs ilutel v safe in her hands. Anyhow, 1 will no nivseli and take them there," said the j wel cr, "and see the thing through.'' And ho drove at once to the ad dress given by the Count. It was not the address at wliieli tie- diva herself had lived when she Inn' lii-t liet u ut his shop, but thc'l she might have I'll lilted it latgly, and III any case he would neo, ami this ipiostioii ,.f hei address would prove a ton.

"Don't know, I'm sure, but I fancy she is out. She generally is out at this time of day." Heir X., however, went up stairs nnd ran',' the bell. "Is Fraulein W. at home?" "Yes, sir." "Announce me, please, " And a moment later ho was asked to stc in to the drawing room. "Fraulein W., I have conio on a very pleasant errand to ask you to choose one of throe iliunioinl neck laces, which is destined to vie, nnd vie in vain, with the charms bestowed upon you by nature." "What do you menu?" asked the lady, whoso countenance had assumed the form of a note of interrogation "1 menu that Count (). has been choosing a necklace for you ; that he has carefully scrutinized nil wo have in stock, nnd, having selected these three, asks von to siiv which of them you prefer." "Count O-, did you sny?" "Yen, Count Feidinan I (). Yoll know him, of course !" "Not I; never Haw or spoko to him iu my life. " "Strange very Mrango! Hero is his card, 1 dare say In) is an admirer of your delightful sinking and in tends to give a tangible shape to his appreciation; mnl, if I may say so, he has made proof of admirable judg ment in selecting a dianioiid necklace. I expected to sec him here, but this is, p rhaps, the harbinger of his visit." "Ves, that may lie," answered the 'ady, looking mini iringly at the glit tering diamonds. "I have often heard of him. lie i-i always in the opera, ami does, I know, take a great interest iu iun-.ii- of all kinds." The jeweler tin II invited a careful inspection of the three necklaces, pointed out the beauties of each, and laid special stress on the best of t lie three, which, of course, was tho most expensive of the lot. Hall an hour passed iu this way, but the young count failed to put in an appeiiruneo. "What do you intend to do?" asked Fraulein W. al loiigtli. "Well, I suppose il is useless to wait my longer. I confide tho three necklaces to your safe lo t pim:, Frau lein; I know they w ill be as well look ed alter here iis al our shop. And when Count O. does ealland you have selected one of lln in, he will colilelo us ami settle up. It will not Just longer than tomorrow, for lie has promised to come iu the morning iu any case." And llcrr X. took his leave, rejoic iic.'. It never once occurred to him that he had left any loophole iu the arrangement through which a mouse, not to say n swindler, could miuccxc himself, llcrr X. had not left the salon a ipiarter of an Innir when the young iinin who called ut the store rushed in 5,'l'eat excitement into tho room, mnl vehemently demanded the three dia mond necklaces. "Tho jeweler, llcrr X ," ho said, "has sent me this moment to say that they were left here by mistake a mistake which ho deeply regrets and apologizes for." I u reply to the lady's tpiestions he further explained tint the Count's in st inc. ions had been misunderstood. He wanted tin! liecklaeo for Miss 11., who lived iu tho sanii! house us Mis.-, W. only one story higher, and n mis take had been made in the names. The lady was not iu the least surprised. "So this is the solution of the mys tery? Yes; I whs thinking myself that there must be some mistake, else tiie Count wouhl have called here long ago." And she handed him the pre cious parcel. He expressed his pro found thanks and hurried away, ami the ludv thought no more of her dis appointment that evening. Next morning the jeweler was an nounced, mi 1 she ordered the servant t show hi'ii. He had conie, lio d ml'!, to apologize for tin' mistake, ami she received him with a smile thai told him v, ry plainly how she appre ciated the Inn of it. lint he looki d more serious and businesslike than the evening before, and opened the c mv eisut ion with the poser: "Well, Fr.iuleiii, I hope you have followed my advice and chosen the necklace I recommended. I is by fir the best of the three, and Hi for the stones, I call assure vou that Prin cess I'., when she saw tin in a few weeks ago - " "l!ut yoll we iu to be iu a very joen mood this morning, lb rr X. 1 don't pule see, though, when- the joke eoines ill. 1 thoil'.'.li' from the begin ning that ti'" necklace Were not uieuui for me, and it was you who h iggested that they should remain iu my keeping. lint the matter has goiio far enough. 1 don't wish to hear any more about it." "What do you inenti, Fraulein? Has the Count not yet called?" "( )h, please stop that 1 Yoll know as well as I the necklace was for Frau lein 1!. up stairs, and your shopman took it to her last nigt." "AVhat in heaven's nmno do you mean? Where are my diamond necklace:-.?,' And Herr X. was as pule as a ghost us he asked the question. Fraulein W., equally astonished nt his countenance, told him all that hud taken place alter his departure tho evening before. "My iod ! Have I been victimized by a clever swindler?" ho exclaimed when it was ended, and paced the room like mi infuriated tiger in his cage. And after a time he Mopped suddenly, nnd turning to tho diva, said : "Fraulein, will you kindly nc.com puny mo ut once to the shop? I want you to tell the story that you have just narrated to the police, and to put tlieui on tho track of the scoundrel ut once. It may yet be pie-'siblo to re cover the property, but we must bo very quick. " Miss W. ungraciously signified her assent, and tin' pair hurried oil to tho shop with fel lings too stormy for words, Herr X. opened the door, which set ii number of electric hells a-ringing, and to his utter stupefac tion beheld the "swi, idler" .'.landing at the counter with some necklaces displayed before him. The jeweler pounced upon him as a tiger upon its prey, but the young man smilingly pointed to the precious stones and said: "There are your necklaces. Now, lUen " "You, sir, are n " "Now, do be calm, ploifsr, nnd let me finish what 1 have to say; then you may talk as long as you like. I have conio to compensate ymi for the little joke I perpetrated. The fact is I made it bet with ('omit S. that I would go to the best linn of jewelers iu Vienna uud deprive them of tho possession of a lot of jcwelery for at least one night of course solely for the purpose of w inning the wager. I have now scored a brilliant success and won the slakes. It only remains for me (o express mv profound thanks to Fraulein W., who so ably if in Volillitulilv, seconded my ellolts." The Count selected, not indeed a diamond necklaee, but a magnificent bracelet, and icipn sled I'raiileiii W, to honor him by wearing il as a sou venir of the curious incident iu which she had played such a prominent purl.

A correspondent who has just re turned from Constantinople writes that, according to current conversa tion in that city, the present sultan of Turkey is one of tho most hard worked men in iillthe Ottoman domin ions, ltising at l! o'clock every morn ing, his days in the seclusion of the Yildiz l'alaci) and gardens are devoted to personal attention to all the u flairs of state laid before him by his minis ters. He has been the menus of estab lishing oO.iUlo schools throughout his empire, not only for boys, but for girls also, which is a strong departure from the traditional usa ,'e of Inn race and people. Once a week only does ho present himself to the view of tho people, to assure tln-m of his continued existence and health. Ou one of these state visits to tho mosque two or three weeks ago his majesty was accompanied in his car riage by (ihazi Osinan I'asha. The dif ference iu appearance between them is remarkable.

" The shell is like a tiny bout ami is set upon a keel of bountiful workmanship. It is coiled many times upon itself. The little ei'all would capsize but for tiny arm that stretch out from the side and keep it steady. These me not used for propelling it. In tho stern there is a small siphon, through which the animal drives iu water while on voy age nnd pumps it out again with great force. This semis the delieale shell swiftly over the surface of the water. They sail iu troops iu all the warm waters of the world. In the Indian uud Pacific oceans they arc very com mon. 'These shells might be taken us an example of tho superiority of the fe male sex, for only Ih s females, says l.r. Simpson, have I u accommodated by nature with shells. The mule is an insigiiilieant creature and revolves about the course of his spouse us it satellite.

IIuw tlio Flesh Acquires a Dis tinct Taste of Celery. Did yov ever cat a rapidly-grown, celery-fed duck? No? We'll, then, there is a new sensation for the appe tite in store for you. Put I urn antici pating my story. During my vueea tioii days last summer I found iu a val ley under the shadow of the lilue Mountains of Pennsylvania, what the proprietors culled a "duck ranch.'' The inline struck me us being odd. If it means broad acres, "ranch" is u misnomer; if it KigiiiHes a place where large numbers of animals or fowls are reared, this plaeo was well named, since during the past your PJ.OiHt ducks wore reared on tho few acres of the ranch. This story fold by the proprietor wns continued by their New York buyer; ut the time of my visit, early iu September, there were about -l.ll'lll nearly ready for market, nnd such u multitude of pure white' birds was a pretty sight. The variety grown is the Pekin, that at maturity will weigh fourteen to twenty pounds to the pair. They have rich, yellow skin and orange colored bills and legs. They bear eonlini meiit well, end it is claimed they may be reared successfully with wnler siillh'ient only for drink. How ever, it is found that without water in which to wash themselves their plum age is soiled by the mud, and the feathers worth forty to fifty cents a pound are injured in market value. The I'ekius nre prolilie in eggs, lay ing from 15 to 150 each iu the year, but many of tho eggs are infertile. Iu fact, the proprietors of this ranch thought they did not get to exceed fifty ducks from 100 eggs. Tho duck naturally, or as ordinarily kept on the farm, rarely Jivs before spring linn. Ducks reared in the approved modern style, hutched iu May, will begin to lay about the holidays, and continue laying all winter, and this weakens their vitality. lint why is il not th. constitution weakened also in respect to making rapid nil I great growth of frame? The barnyard fowl has un dergone Ih.- same revolution of habit, an I I have loillid their eggs us fertile in winter us ut any other time. The eggs are hutched iu incubators which are set in operation as soon as there is a complement of eggs to till u machine. On a well inanaged duck farm the ducklings should begin to peep about the first of February, mid the incubators are kept running iiniil about the fust of duly. The ducks are reared under artificial brooders in their houses and in small yards, and not allowed access tn water for bnth iiiL, until u mouth old. 1 presume in winter they never go out of t heir yards until killed. From the time tin y aie hitched until ready for market, tie ducklings are fed all the wholesome food they can digest, and at ten weeks old the I'ekius should dress ten pound -to the pair. Of course such weights are obtained only by farmers who thoroughly un derstand the business. The men I visited ha I ben iu the business sev eral yours, and had learned by practi cal experience how to achieve success. For iiuy one to try it relying on book knowledge alone would simply invit ing failure. In competent hands poul try tanning may he conducted success fully on a large scale, hence it was a groat dissatisfaction to see this notion illustrated at this ranch. I di I not inquire how well it was paying, but that it was a paying business was evi dent. It is proposed to rear lilt, (hill ii? this ranch next season. It is estimated that I'ekin ducks may be reared to th ago of ten weeks for live eenl a pound ami the price received will av erage probably twenty cuts a pound. The earliest shipments will ienbi thirty cents n pound or more nnd eighteen cents 1'. about the !owe-t lig iiio for them ut any sea-on. Tin re is one peculiar nature iu tie' market for choice poultry t he breeder not d not consign his stock for sale uud take the chances of the lnaikcl. A class ol New York deahis uiv ul wavs in search of poultry of superior quality, and will buy it outright at excellent prices. These dealers sur ply the large fashionable hotels ulel restaurants, that will have only the best, and it is ollen more of u ques tion of ability to got what th. v wanl than the price. The house handling these ducks in New York was gettiii" twenty cents a pound for choice spring chickens when whai I regard as vei good poultry was selling at lilteeii cents. Their customers don't g shopping, imt bin where they know what they get is superior, ami they A DI CK K ore willing to pay a good round price for it. Fagor buyers seek for a good article, while a poor article hastu hunt for a market. These ducks rapidly grown nre like rapidly grown h ltuce or radishes very tender. Their market wns origi nally made ou this tender, fat eoiidi- lilion, without the use of celery to add to t he llavor. The wholesome food of course changed the quality of the ihsh, and now the supply is not equal to the de mand. They nre fed celery finely cut u 1 1 I mixed with their food for prob ii lily u month previous to killing. There is no distinct taste of celery on the flesh, but its union with tho natural qualities of the ilesh imparts ii llavor that issimply delicious little, if tiny, inferior to that of the cele brated eanvas-baeks, which feed on wild celery. Country Gentleman. The Vast Solar System. If our sun were removed to the I'leiudes it would be hardly visible iu an opera .".lass with which nearly 100 stars can be seen in the cluster. Sixty or seventy Pleiades surpass our sun in brilliancy, Alcyone being 1,000 times mole In ill in ill , Plectra 5U0 limes and Mala marly too, says Longman's Mugaiue. Siriiis itself takes a s'.lbor dimil" rank wln u compared with the five in-1 -I brilliant members of the group the real mngiiitioune of which we can thus iu some degree appre hend. If we seek to know the dimensions, not of the individual stars but of the cluster itself, we are im t with many dilliciilties, but, on the assumption that it is approximately spherical iu shape, we can ciilciilate its diameter to be over 111.01111,111)11, OIK) miles. If we think of the dimensions of our solar system by themselves or in relation to terrestrial mutter, they appear btupen dously enormous, Neptune, the most distant known member, 1ms an orbit over o.immi, il(Ml,iHMi miles across, but the solar system is to the Pleiades but a Liliputiaii to Prohdigiiiigiun is but a microbe to a mountain - for a sphere the' size of the solar system would, if il wi re splicl ioul and its diameter that of ihe orbit of Neptune, be relatively .-o minute that' it could bo contain-. .1 more t It tii loo, ihi'.l, (10:1, HO I limes iu a sph.
