One evening there was a conviv ial gathering of men from many different nations seated about a ta Me in an open court of the Bauer Grunwald, a well known Venetian restaurant. The conversation, I be lieve, was in English, and the sub ject of Whistler's pastels was brought up by one of his' enthusi astic American admirers. A Rus ?ian named Wolkoff was flippant 'unci depreciating, ridiculing them as works of art, jeeringly saying that lie was willing to bet that he could make half a dozen pastels as good as Whistler s, and, if they were mixed with his, nobody could tell them apart. The American was surprised at " this attitude and re marked : "I'll bet a champagne dinner for all present t)..at you can't' "All right, I'll take your bet and prove what I say, but I will make one condition only, and it must be agreed upon by all present: I must be permitted to see Whistler's pas tels before I besrin." - "I will agree to that and arrange a day when you can see them." All this was unknown to Whis tler, who was innocent of .the reason for the call of his Russian guest. IIo received him charmingly and showed him all his pastels. These he pinned on large cardboards, care fully, almost ceremoniously, and placed them before him upon a chair that served as an easel. This was the usual way he exhibited his pastels or etchings at home. The Russian was not heard from for six weeks. Then the committee in charge was informed that he could not go on because he found it im possible to purchase in Venice the peculiar brilliant pastels with which j Whistler obtained his effects. The American would not let him slip through in that way, so he man aged to make it possible for his Rus sian friend to select numerous smal pieces from 'Whistler's own paste boxes. He selected all he wanted or thought he needed for the easy task of making a Whistler paste and after this exceptional accommo dation returned to his work, saving he would be ready for the jury in a week. How or by whom the six jurors were selected I do not know, but remember that two strangers, an Austrian and a Dutchman, were among them. Spain was represent ed by 'Martin Rico, England by Hen ry Woods, R. A., and America by Frank Duvencck and myself. -By this time Whistler knew the wager. The jury met in a house on the Riva not far from the Casa Jankovitz, near enough for him to bring hi nastels conveniently. The meeting was a very long room facing the ko-oons. The American who had accepted the .wager was not there olkoii was at home, -sick m bed Whistler was in the darkest and farthest corner, with his back to the company and his pastels on a lonsr table. I was selected to bring each exhibit from Whistler's hands and place it on a high backed chair. It was an extraordinary position in which Whistler was placed and a veritable ordeal which he faced. He was serious and wore a troubled look, the truth being that he was nervous at the possibility that the jury might let one oi the Russian s pastels slip by as one of his own. I am glad to say, however, that when ever a WolkolE appeared it was in stantly received with groans and shouts of "Take it away!" Not for one moment was there the least doubt or a dissenting voice. Otto Bachcr in Century. A Bad Mix. Mr. Gladstone, speaking of Mr. Parnell on one occasion, made use of the oft quoted phrase "Marching through rapine to the dismember ment of the empire." On the same day there was a horse race in which .. J . ! 1 TT. the winners were respectively ve racity, Tyrone and Lobster. These facts were cabled to Xew Zealand together in the usual shorthand style of the cable. The result was that-next day the Xew Zealand pa pers contained the following ex traordinary paragraph: "Mr. Glad stone denounced Mr. Parnell as marching through rapine to the dis memberment of the empire and said that the Irish leader had the verac ity of a Tyrone lobster." Tested His Friends. An Irishman who died in the early part of the nineteenth century in one of the outlying parishes of London undertook to test the devor tion of his friends and acquaint ances by making out a list of 400 of them, who were requested by written invitation to attend his fu neral, which was' held at 7 o'clock one cold winter morning in the parish church. Only twenty-nine persons appeared. When- his will was opened, it was found that, hay ing no natural heirs, he ordered his fortune to -be divided among the persons who attended his funersi, London Mail.

He Was In and Through and Out Be fore He Really Realized What Had Happened The Way His Difficulty About a Costume Was Overcome. A six foot American who had se cured a "command" to one of the Eng lish royal levees recently found him self In a pretty predicament. On his notification paper was the hint that levee dress was indispensa ble. In the guileless innocence of his democratic soul the American took this to mean that frock coat and shiny shoes would be called for. He was in the act of looking over his best outfit of that nature when a more experienced friend called and caught him in the act. The friend made haste to inform the misguided Yankee that levee dress involved silk stockings, ruflled sleeves, black sword and other items. " Consternation ensued. It continued to ensue when owing to his height and girth no barrowablo suit was discov ered and no tailor could be found who would make one before the next after noon." At last a stage levee dress was rented from His Majesty's theater, where it had done duty In "The Last of the Dandies." After the levee was over the Ameri can confessed that he hardly knew what had happened. When he reached the palace he was first surrounded by the yeomen of the guard, who started him upstairs with great dispatch. In the course of his progress upstairs the yeomen disappeared, and ho found himself In a lane of tin plated life guardsmen. Again the scene changed, says Town and Country, and there was a lane of royal footmen and next a large room filled to overflowing with admirals, generals, diplomats, peers, chamber lains,, soldiers and sailors of all de grees of commissioned rank and a great host of men attired like himself in levee dress. One by one they were singled out and ushered into the royal presence in the adjoining room, where stood the king surrounded by his suit. Ihe work of presentation was so rapid that the American found himself out and in another room before he knew what had happened. His over coat was on his back m the same rapid, mysterious fashion, and the next thing he knew he was outside in the courtyard. But he Avas actually "presented" and Is now forever Hof fahig, or eligible for " presentation at any court in the world, provided he be haves himself. All this was preliminary to the pres entation of the man's wife and daugh ter at the drawing room. Men are pre sented at the king's levees, and the women undergo the same ordeal at the courts or drawing rooms, which are by far the more imposing functions. It is probably no exaggeration to say that every time a drawing room Is held 100,000 is spent by the people who go to court. None but a very old habitue of the court and then she Is never below the rank of a countess would dream of appearing at court in a costume that she had worn there before. The item of flowers aloue is one of vast impor tance. If it were not for the drawing rooms the large florists could not exist. Every woman who Is presented goes armed with a bouquet, whose value is at least a pound, and some of them are worth ten times that sum. Then there are the bookmakers and the hosiers and the milliners to consider, to say nothing of the people who lend carriages. Suppose there are at a low estimate 500 people on the presentation list. Of these every mother's daughter has her self photographed in her court cos tume, and London court photographers are notorious for their stiff prices. St. James' park on the night of a drawing room is filled with London ers who wander up and down the dou ble line of carriages stalled in the mall, peering into the windows and criticis ing the costumes of the matrons and their debutante daughters. It Is a legitimate privilege of the populace to consider those waiting for presentation as objects of interest, and there the latter have to sit, some of them over an hour, subjected to the gaze of Lon don's citizens. You see half a dozen shopgirls flattening their noses against the window of a motor brougham and carrying on a rapid Are conversation about the dress of milady and her daughter inside. "Ain't she beootiful, Mary Ann?" or "Wot do you think of this un? Oi don't like 'er gown at all." - All this has to be borne with Spar tan fortitude so long as there is.no rowdyism; but, strange to say, there never Is. A good many people starve them selves- for months so that, they end their offspring may have the money to enable them to go to court There are many haff pay colonels who live in the country whose one object is to eome up for a drawing room. Generally they have influential and wealthy friends who make it easy for them in the matter of lodging in town and lend them their horses, carriages and fdotmen; otherwise It would be im possible for them to go. There seems to be a tradition that if a man's daugh ter ha3 . not been presented at court her way to a successful marriage will not be so smooth. That of course Is a fallacy, but the tradition never dies, and so people stint themselves and en dure endless sacrifices that they may put the hall mark on themselves and their offspring. Gur9 Celdoi PrpvenU fmuidooui FOR THE LITTLE ONES. How to Find Points of the Compass by Means of a Watch. Some ingenious person has dis covered a peculiarity about a watch hhieh may prove very valuable to persons who are lost. The peculiar-1 ity is that all watches are compasses that is, they do not point to the magnetic pole, but by consulting the face of a watch at any time of day the compass point "south" may be located, and from that all other points may be easily fixed." The process is as follows: Point the hour hand to the sun, and the south will be found exactly halfway between the hour and the figuro XII on the watch. For instance, suppose it is 4 o'clock. Point the hand indicating IV to the sun, and II on the watch is exactly couth. Suppose it is 8 o'clock. Point the hand indicating VIII to the sun, and the figure X on the watch is due south. Blowing Bubbles. Here is a way to make bubbles that will be both big and so tough that they will roll over the carpet before they break: After having, dissolved a piece of laundry soap about an inch square in a ..pint of hot water add a tea spoonful of gum arabic and stir un til melted. Then add a teaspoonf ul of glycerin and a quart of cold wa ter. The bubbles will not only be not so easily broken, but will be more brilliant than usual. By di viding these suds and coloring por tions of it with different colored dyes bubbles of brilliant hue. can be made. If, however, small children are to play at the game, it would be better to use fruit luice for thi; purpose, currant or raspberry juice for pink, grated orange peel with tne juice ior yeiiow.

Gold winged woodpecker, clape, pigeon woodpecker, yellow hammer, high hole, yarup, wake up and yel low shafted woodpecker are some of his names. All About a Dog. In some of the villages of Gc-r many Avhen a stray dog is observed he is first arrested that is, he is caught by an officer of the law. He is then taken before a justice of the peace and charged with having no master. The public crier thengoes up and down the street ringing a bell and shouting out: "We have a dog without a mas ter ! Will any one pay the costs and take him.''' If any one comes forward, the an imal is his. If no one appears, the dog is drowned in the river, and the officer reads hinf-a paper stating that he is to be drowned because no one wants him. The Red Cross Badge. The red cross was chosen as the badge of the Humane society out of compliment to Switzerland, the de sign, with the colors reversed, being the Swiss national flag. At the Ge neva convention in 1864 the nations decided upon a common flag and badge for hospitals, surgeons, etc. The red cross was then chosen. The Looking Glass. We have a splendid looking glass, My little mistress Blanch and I; It has a frame of waving green, It shows the trees, the reeds, the sky. And we can see ourselves as plain I see her hands, her dress, her hair; And, when the water's still enough, I see her smiling at me there. I've heard my grownup mistress say A looking glass makes some folks vain; It makes them think about their looks. Whether they're beautiful or plain. But this one does not make ya prouJ.

Hew Do the Flocks Accomplish Their Annual Flights? Bird migration remains a puzzle to the naturalists. The feathered travelers arc known to leave their southern habitats at the end of the rainy season and to gather in vast (locks at regular meeting places. Not all the migratory birds, by the way, migrate. In many or most of the species there are individuals who rest and mate in their winter homes, letting the flocks of their kind depart. But most of them mysteriously draw together at one place and time and rise high in the air, where they can be seen moving like a swift dark cloud, making for the north. I Some of our ISTorth American birds winter as far south as Central and even South America. They are observed to take certain routes in their annual journey. The long, narrow Pacific slope is one of these aerial ways, another lies across the Texas plain and northward to the Missouri vallej', and a third passes over the Antilles and Florida and forks in central Alabama to the west and east of the first walls of the Appalachians. The westward way leads to the eastern Mississippi and the great lake basins, the east ward fliers skirt the coast midlands and pass after leaving some of their number along the way into the Hudson valley, their gateway to New England and the north. These routes all furnish rest and water and avoid ocean stretches, great mountain heights and head winds. But how do the birds concert their meeting? How do they direct their flight? Do they await the south wind to blow them north as fast again as they' can fly? What tells them cast and west and the lo cation of the faroff places to which they are bound ? How long do they take to cover the zone from the tropics to the cold north ? How many birds pass m those great clouds of migrants which farmers in certain regions can see during half the spring ? Why do they trav el such enormous distances, passing over in certain instances regions that seem quite as well suited for their habitat as are the places where they finally decide to settle? All the nrysteries of the air have not yet been solved by the natural ists, nor are all of them likely to be solved very soon. Scrap Book. Innocent, but Infectious. A man running toward the Read ing railway station in Germantown the other day as if in great haste to make the train was the cause of en livening the gait of a number of other pedestrians bent on that pur pose, among whom were several wo men who fancied they were late for the train. As the latter wore shoes none too room', their discomfort in running may be imagined. When, breathless, thev reached the station, they found the first runner sitting comfortably and reading a paper, Avith ten minutes' margin before train time. One of the women, made bold by indignation, advanced upon the cause of her anger with the.query, "What were j-ou running for? The answer was, lor my health." Philadelphia Record. She Couldn't Help It. One of the brightest and nicest little patients in the surgical ward of one of the city hospitals lay on her bed moaning with pain, says the Boston Post. She had just come to consciousness after a slight opera tion and, though only five years old, was exhibiting heroic nerve. Yet she couldn't keep from occa sional low cries escaping her. She was the sort of child who hates above all things to give trouble, and when one of the nurses stopped be fore her and, as she thought, looked a bit reproachfully down at her she explained between the paroxysms, with a pitiful little smile : "Oh, Miss Smith, I can't help it, can't help it! I'm not used to operations. Cayenne Pepper For Mice. Cavenne pepper sprinkled freely m cupboards ana snelves which mice are known to frequent will aid considerably in preventing them from spoiling garments, shoe leath er, papers, etc. Lumps of camphor placed among clothes are also most useful as a means of scaring away mice, while books, especially when these are put away m shelves or boxes, should always be protected rom possible depredations by m erspersing the layers of books with small camphor bags. Cause For Tears. Dr. Pitcairn, being in a church in Edinburgh where the preacher was not only emphatic, but shed tears copiously, was moved to inquire of a countryman who sat by him what it was all about. "What the deevil; makes him greet ?" was the inquiry.. fcaith, said the man, slowly turn ing round, "ye had maybe greet. yoursel' if ye was up there and had, as little to sav!"
