Refinement i'm the Kitchen.

"a perfectly millennial girl came to
me yesterday to see about situation
for one of her friends Just after had
engaged an untutored. intelligence
office maid" saws Boston housekeeper.
"This ideal creature had the October
Century in her hand. She had evil
IDENTITY been reading it as she came up
in the horse-car. She had on an ex-
tremely simple, well-litting dress and
jacket, and she spoke much better En-
glish than my Latin school son, except
when he is on his good behavior. She
told me that she lives with Mrs. b.,
then | remembered about her. She has
lived with my friend seven years. All
OF the family think everything of her.
She is simply piece of domestic per-
fection, and she knows it and is proud
of it, and makes it her mission to try to
get other girls to bc like her. She said
her friend is very much like her-what
II pity | haven't chance to try her?
You ought to have heard her talk. Il
wish my trieni could come to you,'
she said. Il think it is so much better
for girl to live in a family of refine
ment and culture where she knows it is
her place to serve and where she feels it
than to live with commoner people who
try to make her feel her place less
hard Yes, that's the way she talked.
She said exactly those words refine
ment and culture Wouldn't it be u
supernatural state of things if she
should have a few disciples? She likes
her work and respects herself in it and
makes it really her responsibility and
her interest No wonder the family
she serves all look happy and healthy.
No wonder her mistress looks year

Wine with n History.

j. A. Murray. of Butte, Mont, is the
possessor of twelve bottles of wine with
a history. The earliest known of this
wine is that it was found in subter-
ranean vault inside sealed stone re-
ceptable, in Jesuitical monastery that
was demolished during a local feud
among religious fanatics. 1t SO hap
pened that the eye of an epicurean fell
upon 1t. and he secured it as the most
valuable of the treasures, carried it into
Poland, and presented it the crown,
for which he was rewarded bv the high
est honors and titles that could be con-
ferred upon an ordinary citizen. At
the marriage OF the Princess DecherniZ
of Poland to the heir apparent of the
crown of France the only remaining
basket of this priceless vintage was pre-
sented to the prince for the .nuptial Oc-
casion. An unprincipled adventurer by
the name of Bouforte, who had secured
the position of second steward to the
crown, stole twelve bottles of the pre-
cious nectar and replaced these with
twelve of the inferior article. These
twelve bottles he brought with him
to America in the year 1890. He
communicated the nature of his special
treasure to his most trusted friend,
Henry Coatway. The cupidity and
avarice of the latter overpowered his
reason, and he killed BoufOrte to secure
the wine. The deed was no sooner done
than he feared the vengeance of the
law, and resolved to fly TO distant parts,
for time at least, until the excitement
of the murder would die out Before
leaving he buried the twelve bottles,
with their history, far down among the
roots of an ancient oak. Fifty years
after. on uprooting this same tree, a
newly converted Mormon found the
treasure and took it with him when he
migrated to Utah.
When Brigham Young was made ac-
quainted with the nature of the valuable
article contained in the twelve bottles
he informed the owner that God had
made him the instrument TO find this
treasure that be might give it to the
head of the church, and forthwith took
the vintage.
The wine was in turn stolen from
Brigham by an apostate Mormon, who
brought it to Montana, and on his
death bed. at the mining camp of Pio-
neer, he bequeathed to j. A. Murray
this wine of such an eventful history
as testimonial of his gratitude to that
gentleman for having loaned him $500
at one time for the purpose of calling a
hand of Julius Levy, by which he took
down a pot containing Sl,309.-SaH

Cats Eyes and Moonstones.

''Here is something for the lover of
fine Jewels" said Mr.. Ed Smith, him
self a connoissseur in gems, and he
opened a small velvet box about the
size of thimble, and displayed some
thing that shone like moonlight
That's what it is, condensed moon
light" said Mr.. Smith. There is the
opaline glory without the color and
the shifting light. 1t is the cold, pale
brilliancy of moonshine, and has never
before been worked. 1t is the Ceylon
moonstone, or moonlight quartz"
The stone was set in ladys brooch,
of small oval size. The faces of two
children were carved in the moonstone,
which was surrounded by a circle of
diamonds.
I'VE prize it very highly, as it is the
coming gen." continued Mr. Smith.
at cannot be initiated any more than
the moonlight can. The water has
petritied with the rare brilliancy of a
tropical moon held in its depths. 1t
took centuries to solidify it, but only Il
moment to imprison that glory of
whiteness. 1t gives the arbitrary belle
of the present new fashion. 1t is
much more pellucid than opal. which is
water petritied with multitudes of in
tinitesimal fish in it, which was devel-
oped by microscopicical power. There
are no fish in the moonstone. The
shifting colors of the opal are caused
by the expansion of the fish under
heat"
And not by any adverse fate?"
Certainly not. The superstition set
forth by Sir Water Scott In Annie of
Geiernstein' is very charming but does
not coincide with facts. The moonstone
and the cat's-eye will be the leading
styles in gems for gentlemen's wear this
season. And the ladies will wear the
moonstone as a substitute for their
favorite pearls, which it surpasses in
beauty. ."-DetrOH Free Press.

Wiil-Making.

Considering that the will of the late
Samuel j. 1ildcn is To be contested on
the ground that it is not properly

ton OF being a remarkably shrewd and
sagaclouS lawyer. it ought TO be aDpar-
ent to the average man in the commune
~ who desires TO obtain posthumsus

proper way TO secure this end is to dis
pose OF his money while living to such
public charities or bcnefactions as he
may select, and not leave his estate a
prey 10 the avariciOusness of his legal
heirs. 1t is true that there is certain
degree of risk attending the method of
disposing Of ones property during ones
life. If, for example, II wealthy indi-
yidual in this country saw fit TO give a
half or three-quarteTs of his fortune to
found some public institution, the
chances are that his prospective heirs
would have him shut up in an insane
asylum, or have the management of mis-
property taken out of his hands in con-
sequence of his manifest incapacity.
Perhaps the safest way is to leave a

Cottonwood Substitute for Poplar.

Among the varieties of lumber the
supply of which is already becoming
limited may be mentioned whitewood or
tulip tree, known in the south as pop
lar. In some portions of the south cot
tonwood is taking the place of white
wood. In Chicago, the Iim6ernlGn
says. cottonwood lumber has made its
appearance. and large future contracts
will be made if favorable transporta-
ton rates can be secured. This timber
finds its true home south, central Illi-
nois being its northern limit of success
full growth. 1t is found in the river
bottoms, although it attains consider
able size even well up IN Wisconsin and
Iowa on the Mississippi bottoms. In
the south it is Il common tree of the low
lands, single trees yielding from 1000
to 5000 feet of lumber each. Tennessee
is rich in this timber and available to
our markets, once the value of the lum-
ber is fairly established. So far as can
be learned its principal use has been
for pump logs and other tubes for con-
veying water. Wildwood heretofore
has been used for this purpose. In
price as compared with whitewood
in the St. Louis market cottonwood
lumber sells at Sl4 and whitewood at
$lS per thousand feet ~,y

Three Tales From the south.

A good story : told of a young re-
cruit who recently enlisted at Camp
Hancock. near Atlanta. The young fell
low Joined the army while the country
was threatening war with Mexico and
he intended making good soldier.
One day he was on guard duty, and.
was slowly stepping along when an
officer approached. After the usual
salute the officer said: Let me see YOUR
gun. The raw recruit handed over his
Springfield rifle and a pleased express
sion stole over his face. As the officer
received the gun he said in a tone of
deepest disgust: You're a fine soldieri
You've given up your gun, and now
what are you going to dO?" The young
Albanian turned pale, and reaching for
his hip pocket drew a big siX-shooter
and preparing for business, said in a
voice that could not be misunderstood:
Gimme that gun, or I'll blow a hole
through you IN Il pair o minutesr' the
officer instantly decided not to mon
Key any further with the raw recruit,
and the gun was promptly surrender-
ed
his story brings TO mind one that iS

remarked: You know your duty here,
