A story, illustrating the crushing force
of mere circumstantial evidence, has for
its hero Russian gentleman of distinc-
ton, who, provided with strong and flat
tering recommendation visited the coin
and medal room Of certain national in
stitution. The coins and medals in this
collection being, to all intents and pur-
poses, priceless, the curators are compelled
to exercise the very utmost caution as to
the admission of strangers, and to keep a
sharp lookout on the visitors while they
are inspecting the rarest of the numismatic
treasures.
The Russian, gentleman wished to see a
medal say of Constantine Chorus which
was of gold, Of large size, and reputed to
be unique. Suddenly, while he was bend
ing over it, the medal disappeared, and

VERY IMPORTANT.

Nj. Editor Of The AyiS G LtteHigaucer:
AS there is great deal of rivalry everywhere,
in the political field, in the social circle, and
even in the church, therefore you might expect
it in the business profession This rivalry in
business has reached the climax in the stove
trade
Ever since the TIMES COOK took the Gold
Medal for quick baking it has been attacked by
jealous rivals but since it has taken the lead
of all first class Cook Stoves in Baltimore and
bids fair to finally superccde them. 1t has in
cured the spite and envy of those who could
not secure the sale fit, so much so that they
take our double iirc.shied cross piece and un-
screw them and show buyers one half and say
the TIMES COOK has very light castings. They
also say it will not bake well, draw we'll is not
No. iron, &c, &c.
SO the only security for buyers is to come di-
rect to No. 96 " Gay Street, 1far F,0Rt street,
and see for themselves if the TIMES COOK
isn't the largest, heaviest, most economical and
best BAKING STOVE ever made. Every one
of the TIMES COOK is guaranteed 10 bake per.
fccty
The reason can sell them so cheap is that
am connected with the 'Quakerown Stove
Works, D." and VIC make them ourselves so Won
buy flom first hands No two profits at young

We do say it is the heaviest, largest and the
best working stove ever offered for sale.

Men are always ma hurry for their
meals, often so much so as to awaken
mild surprise in the mind of the most
aflcctionate wife. To be asked, by
the partner of ones bosom, "When
the deuce will dinner be ready?" or
to hear supper inquired for as a hyc-
ma might inquire for his prey had he
the human voice, must be somewhat
agitating. But let us reflect, and we
shall see that men are not to be blam-
ed for this. There is a natural rea-
son for their anxiety. It's this; they
have nothing else to do but eat after
they are once home from the Office,
the establishment, the studio, the
store, or whatever they spend their
business hours.
Wcalways have somethingon hand.
If we are not new lining our Adorn-
iam's coat pocket, or darning his
stockings, or making a new bonnet,
there is Il small occupant for our ten
fingcrs-a fringe tosew on something,
strings wanted here, buttons Or lace
there, or at least piece of fancy
work to finish.
Adoniram has only his newspaper,
which he generally gobbles whole
during his ride home on the cars
Often, my dear, you are very well
awarc-though you may not admit
the fact to 'Adoniram-that you have
been a little glad that Biddy has
postponed diAner,for fifteen minutes.
Had you not the card board box, that
was mcant to hold nothing, to trim
blue-ribBon? Or the pat-on which
nothing must stqpd, lest it SHOULD
crush the raised rosesiAto ad6rh.Tith
its last stitches?
Fifteen minutes finished that ab,
sorbing thing of beauty, and you
thanked fortune for it; but Adoniram
cast helpless on the world with moth
ing to do, naturally found time long
and growled over it. Let us think
of this when next he seems unrea-
sonable, He has no work box, nor
any needles, neither a tatting7shut-
tie, nor Berlin wool galore. Poor,
dear Adoniram.

Painting the Muman Face.

A VEN known portrait painter,
Says the New YorlS correspondent of
the Chicago Tribune has contrary to-
his wishes, found himself occupied
quite extensively, the past Year, in
covering up with flesh-colored paint
tie black and blue spots on the hu-
man face divine. He recently infor-
med me that the first case had came
from a volunteer offer on his part to
paint over a bruised place on the
eyo of y friend lie succeeded so
well that another case offered, and
still tater it became noised around
among actors'and actresses that he
was an adept in covering blotches.

to work in that particular line.

talk about herself, and said the night

a great respect, and now she was cx-

rehearsal at II o'clock. The task
was accomplished, and the woman
left the studio delighted with the ar
fists success. Before she had gone
half an hour another visitor came
this time a man. He was recognized
by the artist, and began to tell a tale
of his woes insn encounter Che night
before with an infuriated, jealous
woman. There was such coinci-
dcncc in The particulars already sta

casually asked if the assailant was a

that it was, but wondered how the
inquirer knew her. Nothing more
was said upon the subject, but in less

saw both parties roll up Fifth aven-

other month had passed they were

How coffee Came 10 be Used.

1t is somewhat singular to trace
the manner in which arose the use OF
the common beverage of coffee, with
out which few persons in any half or
wholly civilized country in the world
now make breakfast. At the time
Columbus discovered America, it had
never been known or used Tt only
grew IN Arabia or Upper Utopia.
The discovery of its use as a bcv-
eragc is ascribcd to the superior of a
monastery in Arabia, who, desirous
of preventing the monks from sleep
ing at their nocturnal services, made
them drink the infusion of coffee, on
the reports of shepherds, who obscr-
we'd that their flocks were more live
ly after browsing on the fruit of that
plant. Itsreputation spread through
the adjacent countries, and in about
two hundred it had reached Paris.
A single plant, brought there in
IVA, became the parent stock of all
the French coffee plantation in the
West Indies, and the French and
Spanish all over South America and
the West Indies, The extent of the
consumption now can hardly be real,
lied, The United States alone annu.
ally consumes it at the cost, on its
landing, of from fifteen to sixteen
millions of dollars
