While in Washington, according to the
Capital, Mrs. Langtry received a present
of diamond ring valued at $4,000. This
costly present she added to her wonder
fully rich stock of jewels, many of which
she wore during her engagement. They
were certainly the finest jewels ever seen
on the stage in Washi. gton. From what
is said of her in dramatic circles this is
the last year she will ever undertake an
American tour. While in Washington
Mrs. Langtry took pains to send for the
lady reporters on several newspapers, de-
string them to come to Ter car in Sixth
street and write up her beautiful
dresses. Some of them did call for that
purpose. It was impossible for the car to
go to Richmond on account of the differ
enco in the gauge of the railway, conse-
quently she refused to go there at all, al
though all the arrangements had been
properly made.

"What! Three ribs? What will be-
come of US. Oh. my son, your poor
father will die. Here, John, run down
to Dr. Blank and tell him to come up
immediately with bandages and all those
things. Mary, tell James to bring the

It's awful. Thank Heaven, there's the

where much to her surprise she found
him attending to business as usual, and

Freaks of Forgetfulness.

Of all the ills to which flesh IS heir,
forgetfulness is the one that furnishes
the greater number of laughable
episodes; and while many of them are
very annoying, the mirthful feature
that is their almost invariable compan-
ion affords certain degree of compen-
sation.
Near one of our Atlantic sea-ports
there resides an old whaling captain
commonly known as Uncle Gurdon. To
keep from getting rusty, he made his
home on the river bank, where he could
keep boat. and fish OF paddle about
as he liked. The place was about five
miles from the city, and, as occasion re-
quired, Uncle Gurdon and his wife would
journey downward for the purpose of
shopping. Reaching the city, the horse
and wagon would be left at the water
trough on the Parade, and each would
60 in different directions, carrying their
bundles to this common receptacle, the
first through waiting for the other. On
one of these shopping excursions, Uncle
Gurdon made several trips to the wagon,
finding each time that additions had
been made to the store of bundles-a
sign that his wife was busy. Having
completed his purchases, he unhitched
his horse, and, the ferry-boat having ar
rived, climbed into the wagon and drove
on board. While crossing the river, one
of his acquaintance stepped up and
asked how he was getting on.
s.Well, I'm getting on nicely; but I'm
bothered just now"
''Why, is anything going wrong?'
''No, nothing special; but l came
down to do some shopping, and I've for
gotten parcel | was to get" and the
old gentleman scratched his head in a
perplexing manner.
'.Well, | wouldn't worry. You will
think of it next time" said the neigh
Dor; and the boat having reached the
landing, Uncle Gurdon drove ashore,
and went on toward home.
When nearly half way there he was
met by another friend, who stopped to
have q chat.
''How do you do to-day, Uucle Cur
donp" he asked.
ooh, nicely, nicely; though I'm bit
worried just now"
"Worriedp what about?''
swell, you see, I've been to town
shopping, and there's parcel of some
kind that I've forgotten. can't think
what it is, and it bothers me-"
"Oh, never mind it! You will recol-
leet what it is before you go again.
BY the way, Uncle Gurdon, how is your
wife?'
''Jerusalem!' cried Uncle Gurdon,
slapping his knee with great energy.
'It's my wife that I've forgotten! She
went to town with me to do some shop
ping, and | was to wait for her,
And Uncle Gurdon turned around,
and went back to the ferry for the par
eel that he had left behind -Hdrper's

Countermanding Orders.

Travelling men justly complain of
habit some merchants have of giving
orders and then before time is given to
fill them, sending in q countermand.
The custom prevails to a considerable
extent, and is reprehensible in the ex-
treme. Merchants resort to it often
times to get rid of the salesman, and
while there might be some excuse for
such display of Observation-Disclosures, it
would be in much better faith to be
manly and square about it, and say
straight up and down that they do not
want the goods. 1t puts travelling
man in a bad light with his house to
have an order countermanded: it pre-
vents him from seeing other trade
when he receives an order from one
man, andin every way disarranges that
business system and confidence which
is necessary in every commercial trans
action. A merchant gives one man his
order, and when he is gone another trav-
cling man comes in, and because of
friendship or acquaintance, he coun-
termands his order and gives it to the
last conner. This is the plan, and a
worse one could scarcely be adopted if
q merchant desires to maintain square
reputation. If his heart is too big to
refuse man an order, he should figure
on how many friends he has and divide
up his orders in lots to suit all corners.
In this way he will at least keep him.
self unspotted. There are thousands OF
little things, and big ones, which 60 to
make a travelling mans lot not happy
one. and when buyers can, with all
credit to themselves, make life happier
for the wanderer, we cannot see why he
doesn't do it, Nor is the merchant all
to blame. There are travelling men who
are willing to get an order by taking it
from fellow traveller who has already
secured it, and this is even worse than
the merchants case, for it sinks very
nearly to the plain of dishonesty. We
want the blame to rest where the broad
est foundation is, and while we condemn
the merchant for such practices, we
have a double condemnation for the
traveller who will accept the reward re-
sulting from them Cincinnati Drum

a Mortgage Paving Clock.

A gentleman writes to the New York
Tribune as follows: The notice of the
death of jeremiah Curtiss reminds me
of a pleasant acquaintance with that
gentleman, and the story of a clock, as
related by him at his house twenty years
ago, more or less. He called my atten-
ton to clock standing at the entrance
to the drawing-room at the head of the
first flight of stairs. 1t was an old-fash-
toned affair, with its case standing some
six feet high. Mr.. Curtiss' story ran
thus:
In the previous summer he had been
travelling in the State of Maine with his
wife, who was native of that State.
She expressed wish to visit the home
of her childhood, which had now passed
into the possession of strangers. Thithel
they went, and upon entering the house
she discovered that the I'D family clock
was standing in its place as she had
known it in her childhood days. She
expressed a wish that we might pur-
chase it, if the owners could be induced
to sell. A proposition was therefore
made for the purchase of the old clock,
which was finally accepted, and the
price of $50 was paid. The clock was
packed and sent to Brooklyn, and taken
to shop for complete renovation and
repair.
The clock man reported the clock q
valuable one, saving that it was of Ger
man manufacture, and that it was not
less than $50 years old, and that it was
good for another $50 years. Then Mr..
and Mrs. Curtiss consulted together,
questioning among themselves if they
had not paid too small a sum for the
clock, considering its reported value.
In order to quiet their conscience in
the matter they resolved to send the peo-
pie of whom they had purchased the
clock another sum of money. and ac-
cordingly $3.50 was sent. BY return
mail letter came from the mother OF
the family, acknowledging the receipt
of the money, and thanking Mr.. and
Mrs. Curtiss most heartily, saying:
THAT money came straight from
Heaven; for demand had just been
made for payment on the mortgage on
our place, and we had not the money tc
meet it, and we had given up in despair
that our home must go. Just then
your money came, which has enabled Us
to make a payment, and our home is
saved
Touched by the pathetic story above
related they wrote to ascertain how
much the mortgage was upon the place.
In reply it appeared that the Original
mortgage was for 81, 900, which was now
reduced by the $3.50 Just paid Another
consultation followed, in which the
value of tho clock yvaS considered and
the satisfaction it was affording them,
and the result of the conference was
that the old farm in Maine should be
cleared of its mortgage, and hereupon
sum was RENTED for the purpose.

Men Under the Razor.

Of all the types seen in BARRIERS shops
probably the man in hurry is the most
multitudinous. He tears open the door,
glares wildly around the room at tho
comfortably filled chairs, mutters
gentle imprecation, and, with despair
ing look, fires himself out into the street
again. Or, if he is not in quite so much
of a hurry, he hastily examines the stage
at which each patron has arrived in the
tonsorial process, compares his time
with his plans, asks when his turn viii
come as if he didn't know that would be
as soon as the chair was empty, and
finally, after fidgeting around and max
ing everybody miserable, he leaves the
shop Just before "nextn is called. The
thin-skinned man is q tender little body
and wants the barber to be 80! so care
full, and to play lightly over his cuticle
or he may break through And the
barber selects delicate weapon, goes
only 'once over his victim, and when
he swabs him with a towel drenched in
bay rum, the thin-skinned man starts
and shrinks like one who is doSed with
strong hair tonic on shampooed
scalp. The Man-with-a-Tough Skin
rarely deigns to reply to the inquiry:
''Does the razor suit you?" He wants
to be shaved IS close as Shylock, fright
upto the roots" and his stubby beard
yields slowly to the best steel and with
disastrous effect upon its edge. He is
dreaded by the most artistic shayers.
but he does not belong to a small con-
tingent and has to be PIT up with. The
bald-headed man does not cost an estab-
Hshment much for hair oil, but the mus
cular energy expended in making the
top of his Uranium shine like q billiard
ball takes off all the profits. The high
est degree of polish is attained by q ro-
tary motion of the right hand wrapped
in towel while the left hand holds the
victim steady. Going asleep in the bar
ber's chair is the favorite habit of an
oplectic individuals who are not afraid
of losing flesh or blood while the tonsor-
ial artists scrape the soap off their faces.
They will nod until there is imminent
danger of "a casual ear disappearing in

Pies and the Seasons.

Popular taste for pies" the man.
ager of the biggest pie-baking establish
ment in the world said, changes with
the seasons There is one steady stand
by. That is apple pie. The demand
for it is double that for any other kind
the year through. But, outside of that
they run about in this way: In Decem-
Der, January and February, mince pie
comes to the front, and runs a good Sec
ond to apple. Just about the holidays
it takes the lead just for squirt, as, for
instance, on the day before last Christ
mas. when we used ten tons of mince-
meat in pies in the one day. In March,
April and May, people want custard and
rhubarb, which come next to apple, both
together amounting to about as much as
the apple in the aggregate supply. In
June, July and August, whortleberry,
blackberry and strawberry pies are
largely in demand, and strawberry
shortcake, which is sort of pie, is no
small item. In September, October and
November, the ripened fullness of the
year, the public taste yearns for pump
kin, and there is also a pretty good run
on peach. Of course, you understand,
we make all these pies and good many
more varieties, such as lemon, plum,
cocoanut and pineapple, all the year
round. The use of the best canned
fruit enables US to keep up. the supply
of any required sort, irrespective of the
season. Just about now we average
100000 pies week. OF that number
one-quarter are apple. OF the others
there are about equal quantities made of
