A GOOD EXPERIMENT

agony from the effects of blood poison

of money, but yet getting no better. My
attention was attracted by the cures said
to have been affected By b. B. B.. and
commenced taking it merely as an exper>
iment, having but little faith in the re-
suits. To my utter surprise l soen COM

Catching. Trnanls.

The newest service rendered by monkeys to
mankind was recently illustrated in London.
In one of the school districts there were q
great many parents who reported no children
in their families, and in order to ascertain
the real number of children In the district the
school officers resorted to an ingenious meas
ure. Two monkeys we're gayly dressed, put
in q wagon, and, accompanied by a brass
band, were carried through the streets Of the
district. At once crowds of children made
their appearance The procession was stopped
in a park and the sch ool officers began their
work distributing candies to the youngsters
and writing down Their names and addresses.
They found out that over sixty parents Kept
their children home from school, and the
monkeys and brass bands brought about 2ot
bows and girls to school-London Paper.

Their Adoption Into General Use in England
of Recent Date.
From the London Tattler.l
American readers, accustomed to see
tomatoes in some shape on the table nearly
every day of the year. will scarcely ap
preciate how nearly that familiar vegetable
comes to being rare delicacy in En-
gland. Ten years ago it was an ex-
ception to find this delightful fruit on
the tables of any but the wealthy; but
to-day they are to be found in most houses
during the season, their extensive cultiva-
ton having brought down the prices SO as to
make them come within the reach of all.
The tomato, or love apple as it was former
ly called, originally came from South
America, but it was not until the climate
of the United States was found to be eminent
ly adapted to their growth that they came
into general use, the taste for the same
spreading to Europe. 1t is, in addition to
its valuable hygIenic qualities, one of the
most profitable fruits to cultivate, and we
know of one private gentleman who sends no
less than one ton to market daily in the
early season, the price paid for the same
averaging cd per pound, all OF them
being grown under glass. Few come to per-
fection in the open air, owing to the short
duration of sunshine in England. Like
the olive, it was a long time before people
became accustomed to the peculiar and deli
cate flavor, but each day they grow in popu-
larity, so much so, indeed, that Cape Town
has been requisitioned tor a supply of the
same when they are out of season here.

was a rich man, but like all Of his kind, not
averse to turning an honest penny. He
offered to rent his rooms for 500 month
and l took them for three months. They
were cool, airy and comfortable, and lived
there nearly two months when discovered
the janitor one morning craftily tiptoeing
along nv corridor The elevator had
stopped running and had come upstairs
afoot and SO he had not heard me. 1t was
about two hours before daylight. thought
at first he was thief, and watched MIN
quietly until he had passed my door and
gone to the end of the corridor. There |
saw him go down on his knees and apply
first his eye then his ear to the keyhole. IT
occurred to me that 1 did not want to have
that sort of trick played at nv own door,
and called to him shortly. He did not
seem the least disconnected but rose with
sight OF relief
7'The fact is, SIR" he said with great can
dor, ST was scared nearly to death. One OF
the maids told me as how Mr.. Davis bad
come in half an hour ago, and happened
to remember that for the first time In. three
years we had failed to leave a log shoulder
ing on the hearthstone with his slippers be-
fore the fire."
"What do you mean?' asked.
He took passkey from his pocket and
led me into a suite of four rooms on the
corner of the house.
QUEER CONTRACT.
"Mr. Davis has had these rooms" said
the janitor, ''for five years, and during that
time he has lived here only three weeks.
We do not know where he lives or when he
comes to town, but the lease will be broken
according to his contract if the rooms are
not always ready for him. Winter and
summer we are to keep a log smouldering
on the hearth, leave his slippers before the
fire, turn his bed down, and see that there is
fresh water on the buffet"
Then he took me through the rooms. He
lighted the gas, and 1 had the pleasure OF
looking upon some magnificent paintings
and small specimens of Oriental tapestry.
Fifty thousand dollars would be a small
value to put upoE the furniture and pictures
of the apartment 1t CHANGED that Mr..
Davis did come there for a night before 1
left, and got glimpse of him the follow
ing morning in the elevator. He was a pale,
and bent man of perhaps 56 years
of age, with wrinkled, discontented face
and churlish manner. 1 discovered his
identity in London, but am not at liberty to
reveal it. He is rich man, an Englishman
and a bachelor. He has apartments in
London, Paris and New York, but when and
where he goes, or what his habits are, no
one whom I have met could say.
I had rather be coal HEAVIER and live in
cabin, however, than such bachelor as my
quondam neighbor, Mr.. Davis.

A NEW-FANGLED WEDDING RING.
A Report From Rosy Youth Who Has Just
Had to Get One.


Had to Get One.
"There is constant demand for novel
ties in wedding rings nowadays as well as
in every other article of luxury" an expert
jeweler said the other night, "and we have
to meet the demand or lose the very desira.
BILE custom of young couples contemplating
matrimony. This season has brought forth
the most curious and beautiful wedding
rings yet designed by the trade. Now ISM
this dandy?''
The expert held up an oval loop of gold.
"Why, that's just like any other ring. The
only difference is that it has a crooked
scratch asross the surface"
"Ah, that's just where the beauty lies, :"
retorted the expert. "Just notice this
effect
He thrust tiny pair of jewelers. priers
into the inner edge of the ring opposite
what appeared to be the scratch, pressed
lightly on the needle, and instantly the
ring dropped into his hand transformed into
two tiny hoops of gold looped together. The
needle had split the ring into two halves,
each half having fiat, broad edge.
There, said the jeweler, "you see that
the ring is more elaborate than it ap-
pears 10 De. InOse HaL surfaces are de-
signed for the purpose of being engraved
with any tender or romantic inscription
that the bride or groom desire to have
placed upon the ring, and they will contain
much more than can be put upon the inner
surface of an ordinary ring. After the en-
craving is done the ring is closed again by
fitting the two hoops together, and locking
them securely by concealed catch fitted
on the inner edge of the hoops It REQUIRES
the closest scrutiny to discover, as you see,
that the ring is not an ordinary hoop of
gold. These rings have made big hit.

"How much do they cost?"

CHAPTER III.

Victor, who was in a great hurry to re-
turn, scarcely allowed himself time for a
glass of wine with Garcin before setting
out but, so rapidly did he speak, he sue
ceeded in giving most glowing and appar-
emily satisfactory account of Orton whom
he described as great gentleman from New
York who had become famous all over the
world as an artist and whose skill with the
rife and the fowling-piece was something
prodigious.
''He wants to shoot and fish and make
pictures of everything in your country,
Mo'sieu Garcin, he glibly went on, with
many winks, shrugs and gestures of hands
and elbows, certainly be does, and he has
come all the way from his grand home in
the great city on purpose to stay in your
humble house awhile, Mo'sieu Garcin, and
enjoy your company, certainly So"
Edouard Garcin bowed and smiled, first
toward Orton and then toward Victor, and
his hne black eyes expressed satisfaction
and hospitable intent more readily than did
his tongue, since he persisted in trying to
speak English.

When 0rton, to relieve him, spoke in
very good French, there was an expression
akin to disappointment on Garcln's face.

What Becomes of Food Waste in Paris

What Becomes of Food Waste in Paris
Everything Utilized That Can Be.
The ReUue des Deu1 Mondes has some
curious statements respecting the food con-
sumption of Paris. In the large lyceums
and schools boys are generally very waste
full; they will throw away half
the bread they get for lunch, tread
upon it, kick it into the gutter, ink
it, etc. None of these fragments are lost.
The servants sell them to certain dealers
who are called boulangers en- vieux, and
turn their acquisitions to good account.
They first pick out all the tolerable pieces,
which they heat in an oven and then rasp
clean. Thus prepared, these bits reappear
in the market in the shape of toast for soup.
Most of the coutons cut into lozenges and
served on the tables of the rich, with
spinach, have no other Origin. AS for the
dirty crumbs and refuse left after the pick
ing, they are pounded in mortar and sold
to butchers as chapelure, with which they
cover their outlets and knuckles of ham.
The really filthy remainder, which is too bad
even for chapelure, is blackened over fire,
pounded, and then mixed up with honey
aromatized with few drops of essence of
peppermint. This is sold as an opiate for
the toothache.
