A Warning to the Improvident.
From the n. Y. Times. ]


"Beware of carelessness IN money
matters, wrote Sydney Smith, ono for
tune can stand it long" A remarkable
verifcation of his dictum is seen in the
career of Balzac's widow and daughter,
the Countess de Mniszeck. They lived
together with the count, after Balzacs
death, in large house IN Paris, seeing
very little society, and mad to start with
between them about $125, 900 a year.
Nine. Balzac and the count are dead,
and the countess is now next door to a
pauper, living in two rooms in hired
lodgings. The count had stroke some
years ago which rendered him COM
plete invalid, and from this the reckless
ness dates. The year after his seizure
Nine. de Balzac became incompetent to
attend to business, assuming that she
ever was SO; which seems doubtful; so
henceforward the countess gave free
rein to her fancy. She had a passion
for buying, and gratifed it to the top of
her bent. Her usual plan was to pay a
fraction on account, and let the balance
run. But besides the most extravagant
purchases of Objects a. art, outrageous
milliners' bills, and the maintenance of
an establishment Of seventeen servants.
she began the erection of palace which
was to contain all the treasures she had
collected, and the part now existing
shows how splendid it was going to be.
At length the count died, and the crash
came. By the exertion of great infu-
ence, one months reprleVe was secured
before the execution took place, and,
happily, Nine. Balzac died four DAYS be-
fore the time was up. The sherlff's Of
fcer seized among the rest q uantity
of boxes, which proved to be full of
papers. They put two of these, as they
were, on the van, and emptied the others
on the floor. A rich Belgian, collector
of Objects d'0rt, who was passing, remon-
strated against the removal of what were
evidently merely private papers, but in
vain. He went to the sale-rooms and
next morning, but half the papers were
found to be gone when the boxes, came
back. Some people, prying about, got
into the rooms at the BalZac House and
helped themselves from the great heap
of papers lying about. A servant asked
the countess what should be done with
them. "Burn them" she said, and he
burned them. Thus it is feared that
thousands of most interesting letters,
for which publisher had offered $40, :
600, are gone, including the long week
ly letter which Balzac, for years before
his marriage, used to write to his wife,
and not impossibly a novel or two as
we'll The effects sold miserably. The
magnificent tortoise-shell inlaid book
case, which had cost the novelist So, 900,
went for 500.

The following story is told of French
deputy, who is also physician: Being
kind-hearted and philanthropical, he
had opened a gratuitous consultation
room for poor people of his own sex. AS
the crowd is sometimes very great, his
method of proceeding is very summary,
in order to save time. His orders to
each patient are, "Strip, What ais
you? Dress" Then he writes his pre-
scription and is ready for another patient.
The other day finely built young man
appeared before ham. "Strip," quoth
the doctor. Off came every garment that

Swiss Ignorance,

Though Switzerland is often called the
model country of Europe--though by
certain historians popular government is
said there to have its slightest development
though the hardy Swiss mountaineers
are some of the best stock in Europe
yet it is literally true that hundreds and
thousands of them do not know the name
of the president of the confederation,
and many more know and care nothing
about the doings of the national assem-
bly,. The system of government, how
ever democratic, is little conductive to
spirit of nationality, or TO breadth of
view. The cantons and the communes
are the country of the Swiss peasants in
ordinary piping times of peace; the do
ings of the federal executive are not
watched with special interest, and when
the representatives in the federal con-
gress propose measures which affect the

BOGUS JeWeIrV.

The recent experience of a London
lady of rank, who wished to sell some
jewels, goes to prove that shams are not
newer than other things under the sun.
Regarding what were supposed to be
splendid rubies the jeweler said: "They
are certainly very snowy, but unfortu-
nately only clever limitations in glass"
The lady, much chagrined, then called
the jeweler replied, after the usual
tests; "The setting is only guilt :"
Another article produced for appraise-
ment was superb bracelet, the gift of
continental sovereign to the wife of
distinguished diplomatist. The skillful
manufacture and specific gravity of this
splendid object had been extolled for
generations in the family of the possess
sor, and SO highly was it priced that it
was invariably sent to the bankers when
ever the family went out of town. The
ieweler scrutinized it carefully, and pro-
nounced it to be- extremely heavy;
but" he added, I" if you will permit
me, madam, to raise this very thin plate
l may be able to show you that the
bracelet is filled up with-lead!" Yet
it is quite possible that the original pur-
chasers of these articles believed them
to be genuine, and paid for them 'as
such. A few years ago an English gen
tleman took a bracelet to a leading pro-
vincial English jeweler to have the clasp
mended. The jeweler looked at the
stone carefully and then said: "You
are aware that this is not genulne?"
mot genuiRe! exclaimed the gentle
man. "You must be mistaken. This
was given to my wife on her marriage by
my uncle, the last man in the world to
give sham jewelry." But the jeweler,
an eminent man IN his line, persisting,
the donor was informed He wrote
back that it had cost $500, and ordered
that it be at once sent to him; and, TAX
ing it to Messrs. -, firm of the first
eminence, Indignantly stated his case.
1t was sham. They offered check at
once, or new bracelet and seemed ter
ribly chagrined. The explanation was
that, do what they would, they were at
times the victims of their workmen, who
substituted admirably made bogus gems
for real ones. Probably scores of per-
sons have iewelry thought to be real

A Remarkable Operation.

The only person in America who has
survived the operation of cutting apart
two children who were congenitaly at

scar where the hgature had been cut.
Twenty-four years ago the operation was

feet of surgery, and many physicians
shook their heads with fear lest the at
tempt would result fatally to the patient.
Lyle was then but Z months old. He
was born with hideous appendage to
the left cheek that resembled an imper-
fectly developed infant. There was a
circulation of blood through the ligature
into the malformation, which also had a
heart. The success of the operation at
tracted universal attention, and photo
graphs of the malformation were sent
abroad at the request of eminent English
surgeons. The operation has been sue

A Jockeys Ruse

From the San Francisco Chronicle1
The writer met the jockey Rutherford
while dining at the winter palace in st,
Petersburg a short time after that huge
sporting wrangle, and, in the course of q
conversation on turf matters, the astute
prodder Of horse flesh said, with child
like and ingenious smile:
"Would you like to know the dead in
side facts as to how that race was won %
"Why, you rode the best horse. didn't
your" we asked.
"Not bit of it" replied the jocky,
with grin. ''The fact was that Ruth
erford was only about the fourth choice,
and was not rated at more than eight or
nine IN the pools. True Blue, Katy
Pease and Thad. Stevens all had the call
over Ruthy. But it happened that my
horse was 'bolter, and to steady him
and to prevent his flying the track I put
binders and goggles on him. You no.
ticed them, I suppose ?"
"There were two horses rugged that
way" we replied.

ter also, and as soon as his trainer saw
how the goggles steadied my horse he
put 'em on Thad. too. The day before
the race big idea occurred to me.

ses and quietly put 'em in place of the
plain glasses in the goggles of both hors-
es. Catch on to the idea ?"
".Well, partly"
"The only difference was that in Ste
vens' brides I fastened the glasses
with the bulge inside, SO as to make
them diminishing glasses, don't you
see? ?"
"Like looking through the wrong end
of an opera glass, eh?"
&c Exactly. The result was that, while
Rutherford was encouraged all the way
by the course seeming only couple Of
hundred yards long, the quarter flags al :
peared ten miles apart to Stevens. You
SEGA horse can be discouraged just as
we'll as a man."
Great scheme, that"
"Well, I should smile. Ruthy
thought she was in for little quarter
race, and it kept up his heart, so that
when he had nearly done the last mile
and swung into the homestretch, and I
called on him to let out his last link, he
thought the judges stand was right un-
der his nose, so he came home like an
express train on down grade; but Ste
vens who thought he had Is miles fur
ther to go, went all to pieces, as you re-
member, and almost lay down on the

The tie which bound them more closely

lately been loosened, and the light of
their countenances went out with the
red sun only the other night. The
father is q railroad man, whose duties
call him away from home nearly three
fourths of the time. It was his habit,
whenever he was about to start for
home, to telegraph his wife, apprising
her of the fact. In these kilograms he
never failed to mention the name of the
little 4-year-old, and the dispatch usual
ly ran as follows: "Tell Arthur I shall
sleep with him tonight. The baby boy
was very proud of these kilograms,
which his mother would read over to
him, and he considered the teledraf " q

when the fever had done its work, and

GRAVY.
How to make nice gravy is problem
many housekeepers never solve. Grease
Is not gravy, neither is raw -four. AL
most any kind of meat-liquor or soup
stock, from which all fat has been re-
moved, may be made into nice gravy by
simply adding little seasoning and some
thickening; if Drowned -four is used for
the latter the gravy will require but lit
tie cooking, but when thickened with
raw flour it must cook until thoroughly
done, or the gravy will taste like so
much gummy paste. 1t is best to brown
a quart of hour at a time. Put in a
skillet, set in the oven, or on top Of the
stove; stir often until it is light brown,
put into wide-mouthed bottle, cork and
keep for use. All gravies should be
well stirred over rather hot fire, as
they must be quickly made, and must
boil, not simmer.
