A Chapter ON Taste.

Taste Is the power to perceive the beautiful Ex.
perience is needed for this and therefore, for
nation OF taste is not only varied but gradual No
one would be content to adhere to his childish
Judgment, for in most cases 1t would be but an i'm
perfect childish judgment, for In most cases It
would De but an Imperfect one. In the period OF
youth all Is novelty, and the estimate OF every
thing Is naturally exaggerated. A young man
goes TO the theater for the first time; the actors
are Dy no means talented, the scenic arrangements
are any thing but realistic but 1t is consequence
the youth Is enchanted-it1 Is a new world to him,
and he Is therefore, so carried away that he is alb
soiutely incapable OF forming sound Judgment;
IL is not that his taste is bad but 1t is simply un
formed.
But, besides experience, cultivation is required
10 acquire good style In composition, and, there
fore, TO thoroughly appreciate the best WRITER'S it
IS by no means sufficient to have written great
deal. Experience is not enough here; there must
be careful study OF the best authors, and this
study Will be great assistance 10 the acquire
ment OF sound literary TASTE

The same judge was great stickler for eti-

the house he heard the sick woman cry ''murder."
He rushed to the house and met Browning down
the sick woman. upon seeing the ofacer, said:
"Thank God" Browning was
PLACED UNDER ARREST
ana he wanted to take his four children with him
TO the station, but his neighbors who were waiting

Evans, and Mr.. Browning's second wife. They
have three children by this marriage. Some
four years ago Mrs. Browning applied Tor
divorce, but subsequently the cause
was dropped and they resumed their marital rela-
lions. In october last she, however, found 1t
necessary to again apply for a divorce, and bill
charging her husband with drunkenness and bad
treatment was filed. The husband appeared in
person and on December filed an answer gen.
orally denying the charges. In December last
they became recOnciled again, and together cele-
brated Christmas by attending church, and the
legal proceedings were regarded by friends as hav
Ing been abandoned. For some months Mr.. Brown

Diamond. Guarded Ingcniously.

From the London Figaro.
When the French crown jewels were sold by
auction last season 1t is well known that the finest
and most historical OF the gems, including the
famous '.Regent" diamond, were reserved, and
these may now be seen in the Louvre in the gal
lery called after the well-known statue OF Apollo
which is such prominent OBJECT In it. Before
these priceless gems were exposed, however, q
committee OF skilled officials and experts was
appointed in order TO decide on some plan for
rendering their loss by theft virtually impossible.
And this Is what the committee decided upon. The
jewels are exhibited In q showcase, the glass
plates or which are exceptionally thick and the
Iron framework OF which Is abnOrmally strong,
and an attendant has been appointed TO specially
keep watch over the precious exhibit all day long.
Should he have the slightest cause TO suspect any
visitor or visitors he has only to touch a button
easily within his reach, whereupon the glass case
promptly disappears from view and sinks into q
specially CONSTRUCTED shaft, over the top OF which
the same automatic machinery causes thick covers,
formed OF thick metal Plates TO close with sharp
snap. The ingenuity displayed in carrying out
this plan Is remarkable, and the fact that the
clock-work apparatus has cost close upon fsOO
Will convey some idea OF its complicated char
acter.

The Crown Princes Joke.
WHY GERMANYs COMING EMPEROR SUFFERED THREE
DAYS IMPRISONMENT.

From the Newcastle Chronicle.
German resident who was a student at Bonn
with the present German crown prince relates OF
that parsonage that some time after leaving the
university he asked, In a mysterious manner, OF a
certain officer in Berlin whether he had heard that
the army was to be modified in twenty -four
sertiOn and court secret but did not long remain
secret In his hands. He mentioned 1t In a whis-
per 10 some one else; the reporters got on the
scent, and before two hours IL was In capital let
tiers, "Army Mobilization in Twenty-four Hours :"
in all the evening papers in Berlin. Then all was
whom was the war? Against France? Against
Russia? Was 1t Austria? Was 1t Italy? Was the
Fatherland invaded? Nobody knew. The generals
disbelieved. They inquired, however, for them
selves; and after the report had spread, causing a
panic through all Europe, IT was finally traced
back to its source. Prince William was severely
reprimanded by his grandfather, who gave him
three days arrest for his1ntended Joke.
