crowded house hung enraptured
on the silver sound of his bow-and

the enchanting melody like the

Mr.. Egerton smiled. "You shall, I"
he said, and sent penciled card

door of the box, and Johann Busch
himself appeared, tawny-skinned
and large eyed, with wild, yellow
hair floating down over his Shout

him, and his violin clasped, like a
beloved child, close to his breast.
He bowed low to Mrs. Eserton's

CURIOUS HIDING-PLACES.

Some women have curious WAY S
of hiding their money. The Gin
cinnati Commercial says: Mrs.
Hansen put fifty dollars i'll the oven
of her stove one night to keep it
safe. Next morning, after break
fast, the national debt was dimin-
ished exactly that much. A student
of the curious would find it inter-
esting to note the places in which
women hide their money. One ex-
cellent and frugal dame used to tuck
her little savings away under COR
ner of her carpet. The tiny roll of
greenbacks grew fatter and fatter.
III the course of 4 year or two;
when, the day after 1t counted $3.50,
tae house took fire, burning to the
ground, the national debt was again
diminished by Il little roll of woman's
pin-money. Then there was that
other careful lady, too, who used
sometimes to hide her diamond
rings betWe two tea-cups Ill the
kitchen cupboard, sometimes be-
hind IA certain brick in the cellar,
and again under the lining of an old
hat. She had divers other places
of safety for her jewelry, also, the
only trouble being that she had so
many hiding-places that she occa-
sionally forgot where she. last put
her precious things, and about every
three months would fancy she had
been robbed, and the house would
be turned inside out, and all there In
be made uncomfortable until the
gem would be found, care.

THE DIAMOND CRESCENT.
BIZ AMY RANDOLPH.

The great drop-curtain which hid
the glittering stage of the Academy
of Music had just fallen. and the
crowd, hoarse with applauding and
weary of ainging boquets, were
streaming through the wide aisles
toward the green baize doors; the
officials were hurrying around ex-
tinguishing the brilliant clusters of
lights one by one. and the beautiful
young prima donna "(Batinka Ka-
SELF" on the play-bills, and reputed
to be from Hungary-that nest of
human neutrality-suspicious. chroni-
cled in the old family Bible at home
as plain "Kate Kelsey" of Barry

ing to divest herself Of the heart
breaking identity of "Lucia di Lam
mermoor." For one of the chief
charms of the Signora Katinka Ka-
selli's acting was her marvellous
power of losing her own personality
in that of her reigning role. what
ever it might be.
There she sat in her cleaning
white satin dress, with golden
brown hair streaming in shining
strands down her back, her snowy
arms branded with jeweled brace
lets, while fringed opera-cloak
was thrown carelessly over her
shoulders, and two or three of the
diamond ornaments she had worn
lay in their velret-lined casket on
the table, sparkling like imprisoned
hecks Of tire-thinking!
Il wonder If it is worth while
all this?" said Signora kaselli, I'M

just then Mrs. Rebecca, her wait

door.

tiuka Kaselli, as he stood there,
apparently dazzled by the gaslight
and the jewels, and the Skinner of
Lucia di Lammermoor's satin skirts,

81 couldn't help it, Signora, said
the boy, bluntly. Il sit up in the
top gallery every night and hear
you sing. And I dream of you at
night and hear your heavenly voice
in my sleep; and So when these
three violets blossomed ont in the
box in mywindow, 1 saved 'em for
you. | know you've plenty of rare
dollhouse flowers thrown to you
every night, Signora. he added,
with an odd, clinking sound in his
throat, ''but | planted these violets
myself and watched 'em grow, and
bud and blossom, and all the while
I've thought of yon.'
Signora Katinka took the violets
and pinned them III the front of her
dress.
"You see how I will treasure
them, she said, with an enchanting
smile; and, with muttered word
or two Of thanks, the. lad shutfied
away as awkwardly as he had en-
tered,
At the same second, Mrs. Rebec-
Ca. who had been collecting her
lady's jewels together in their case,
uttered an exclamation of surprise
and dislnny. The Signora turned
around.
What is it, Rebecca," said she.
Its your diamond crescent, my
lady-the one you wear in your
hair! / can't find it nowherel' cried
the woman.
1T was on the table minute
ago." said the Signora, sharply. Il

Mrs. Rebecca pursed her lips
meaninglv. But it's not there
now" said she. "Colville," calling
shrllly to the doorman beyond,
stop that lad! Stop him, quick!
For as sure as you live, Miss Kate"
forgetting this time, in her per-
turbation, to correct herself-"he's
the fellow as has stolen it."
And the awkward German boy
was dragged once more into the
presence of the prima donna. pale,
frightened and resentful.

he cried out, who would die
for you?"

said the Signora. Let 60 his col

pardon for uniustly suspecting you.''

gasped the scandalized waiting
maid.

How Watches are Made.

1t will be apparent to any oae, who
will examine SOLID GOLD WATCH that
aside from the necessary thickness for
engraving and polishing, the large proper
ton of thesprecieus metal used is needed
only to stiffen and hold the engraved
portions in place, aud supply the necessary
solidity and strength. The surplus gold is
actually needless, so far as UTILITY and
beauty are concerned. In j JAMES BOSS
PATENf STIFFENED GOLD WATCH
GASES, this WASTE OF precious metal is
overcome. and the SAME soLIDITY AND
STRENGTH produced at from one-third to
oue-half of the usual cost of solid cases.
This process is OF the most simple nature.
as follows:-A plate of composition metal,
specially adapted to The purpose. has two
plates of SOLID GOLD soldered one on each
side, The three are then passed between
polished steel rollers, and the result is 8
strip of heavily plated composition, from
which the cases. backs, centres, bezels.
&C., are cut and shaped by suitable dies
and formers. The gold in these cases is
sufficiently thick to admit of all kinds of
chasing. engraving and enameliing; and
engraved cases have been carried until
worn perfectly smooth By time and use
without removing the gold. These cases
are for sale by all jewelers., and are guar
anteed by SPECIAL CERTIFICATE to
WEAR FOR % YEARS. If your jew
eIer does not keep them, send to HAGsTo2
