In using wax seals in closing let
ters, q practice now becoming popu-
lar, it should be borne in mind that
rules Of heraldry forbid woman to
display a crest, for the reason that
she is supposed never to wear a he'll

nor carry a shield.
Take as many half minutes as you
can get, but never take more than q
half minute in conversation with
out pausing and giving others an OPP

Careful housekeepers, who search
the linen counters about now, will
find many rare bargains in table

Over The Hin.

On Friday last Mr.. Joseph Reiner
met with rather thrilling accident
and very narrow escape from death.
While coming to town with load of
coal, on the old road beyond the
University, at a particularly danger
GUS place above DIR. Morris lot, his
wagon slipped from the road on the
smooth ice incline like rifle ball,
went through the fence as though it
were paper wall, and down to the
brink Of the bluff over looking the
Falling run, carrying horses and driv-
er withit Fortunately the rear Of the
wagon was turned to one sideand lock-
ed it, which with the weight of the
horses stopped it. A few feet further
would have thrown them into the
run, and dashed them to pieces on
the rocks Although thrown from
their feet and dragged over the ice
and rough ground a distance ofprob-
ably rs feet in a twinkling, neither
of the horses was seriously hurt, as
strange as it may seem. Mr.. Rein
er thought of trying to jump from
the wagon, but it seems to have
been SO quickly that he had not time
to think. Mr.. Reiner regards it as
miraculous escape.-Neso Domin-

Lively Encounter with
Thieves.

WHEELING, w. Va, March. The
grocery store of August Gering was
the scene tonight of one Of the bold
est robberies on record. Mr.. Ger
ing was in the back yard, and his
wife behind the counter waiting on
colored woman, when simultane-
ously one man entered the front door
and two others attempted to gain
admission from the rear, but were
stopped by Mr.. Gering who barred
their further progress. The intrud-
ers exclaimed with one accord that
there was a fire in the rear Of the
building. Mr.. Gering and his wife
refused to be misled, and seeing that
desperate measures was their only
recourse, one Of the rogues jumped
over the counter, pushed Mrs. Ger
ing aside and rifed the money draw
er, containing about $50. At the
same time another rushed in from
the rear, grabbed the fire poker and
struck at Mr.. Gering's head. The
groceryman threw up his right
arm and caught the blow upon his
hand, causing severe bruise. The
rascals then pulled out revolver
and shouted I'll kill you," but at
this juncture the colored woman
Mrs. Williams rushed in, and grab
bed Mr.. Gering and carried him for
chilly away. In the meantime Eu-
gene Cady, who had heard the dis
turbance while passing, entered and
grappled with one robber who felled
Cady to the floor by a blow his fist.
The thieves then made for the back
door and escaped.

 It was not until they had been mar ried some years, and old Mir. Palmer, the picture dealer, was dead and bur jed, that Minna, wandering through the deserted rooms of the old ware house, with rosy checked child cling ing to the skirts of her gown, came across some dust-powdered canyasses, with their faces turned to the wall.
 "Oh, look, mammal" cried little Paul. "What are these?" a#s.#.
 "Let us examine them, dear," said she.
 They were her own long-forgotten effortsl She stood looking at them, through mist ot tears and smiles.
 "Dear, noble Paul." she murmured to herself. "This only adds to the debt of gratitude that I already owe him. But he need not have been so tender of my feelings. I know now that art, so far as am concerned, was delusion and snare. I know that my truest happiness, my greatest felicity, has been in cherishing him and the children"
 And she never told Paul that she had discovered his long guarded secret Helen Forrest GroreS.
