THE BARoN's WIGS.
Clever Little Arrangement by which
He DecaiYad His Eriands

Clever Little Arrangement by which
He Deceived His Friends.
The Baron, who was man of society, and
devoted to his youth, discovered that his
hair was growing gray and somewhat thin.
Could the Baron de <. consent to put on
those signs of age! Not at all But his hair
generally continued to decrease, and the
gray hair to increase in proportion to the
rest.
He thought the matter over until he was
In danger of losing what hair he had, and at
last hit upon happy thought. He went to
2 wig-maker and ordered no fewer than
sight wigs, all made OF the same hair, and
all closely resembling the color of his own
just little more youthful, perhaps, and
certainly more copious.
The wig-maker was astonished at such an
oroer, and stu more astonished when the
Baron de K. ordered him to have the hair of
one wig left pretty long, for the prevailing o
fashion; the hair of the next wig Just a lit.
tie shorter than that; and so on, by a very
gradual reduction, down to one which was
quite short
Then the Baron de x. put on the wig with
the shortest hair for q week; next week he
put on the one with the next longer head of
hair; the third week, the third wig: and
thus to the eight week; and then some one
was pretty sure to exclaim:
why, XII why don't you have your hair
suti
linen the Baron cane out in his shortest
haired wig, and resumed the succession.
And nobody imagined that he wore a wig at
al; for who ever knew the hair on wig TO

within the square Is excavated On
the third day it is all washed in
wicker baskets by circular Jerking mo-
ton, which throws out all the surplus light
stone and rubbish, till good quantity of
heavy gravel is left in the bottom, which Is
carefully examined. There is hardly a
basketful that does not contain some gems
Of inferior value, which are usually sold by
the pound for about nine rupees. Should no
valuable stones be found another pit il
sunk, and so on till one or perhaps two or
three really valuable gems are unearthed,
when the work is stopped, and the whole
party goes on to Ratnapura with the prizes
II these are worth, say few thousand ru-
pees, they are kept secret and only shown
TO one or two men of money, who make the
owners an advance and look after the safe
custody OF the precious stones. They then
gamble and drink for some time till
another advance becomes necessary, and so
on till half the value is obtained. Then the
party, with the mortgagee, proceeds to Co
lombo, or ltalutara, where rich Moor trad
ers are summoned to purchase, and the
gems soon find their way to London. The
general public know nothing about these
Transactions, and valuable gems are never
heard Of in Ceylon, and scarcely see the
light OF day till they reach Bond street The
natives have q great fear OF exposing their
finds till they are sold, and they have most
extraordinary, superstitious ideas about
showing them. This system has been in
vogue for centuries past.

ROBERT LiNCOLN'S FEE.
How an Old Judge Helped the Young
Lawyer to Get q Start.

How an Old Judge Helped the Young
Lawyer to Get q Start.
Mr.. Robert T. Lincoln likes to tell the
story of his first fee as an attorney, says
the San Francisco Argonaut. Old Judge
Logan, under whom he read law, had
always told him not to be afraid to charge
big fees FOR his services. "People don't re-
spect cheap lawyer" said the Judge. One
day soon after Mr.. Lincoln had been ad-
mitted to practice, he sat alone in his Office.
when messenger brought a. note from the
Chicago agent of one of the weaithiest in
surance companies in America, as King TO
nave the title TO a certain piece of property
looked up. The young lawyer spent about
naif an hour looking into the title and them
sent his report Ia the insurance office.
Pretty soon the messenger came with
another note. This one requested Mr.. Lin
coin to send his bill by the bearer. The
young lawyer had no idea what to charge.
AT first he thought it would be good policy
not TO charge any thing. "For," said he, to
hlmseh, Il should like to get that compauy's
work regularly" But he knew Judge Logan
would not approve that sort of thing. and
he did not want the judge to think that he
was needless of his advice So he figured
1t that, since he had worked only
half-an-honr, ten dollars would be a
good stlf1 price, for it Would be at
tne rate Qt tw5 hundred dollars for
q DAY Of ten hours. The words of Judge
Logan, however, rang In his ears, and,
with stroke OF audacity wh ch almost
frightened him, Mr.. Lincoln finally made
the bill for twenty-five dollars. He felt that
THIS was an outrageously high fee, and was
hesltating as 20 whether he would give il
to the boy or make out another for ten dol
lars, when Judge Logan chanced to come
In. You are just the man want to see,n
said Mr.. Lincoln, and he told him OF his dl-
lemma Judge Logan took the bill and tore
up II knew i Was outrageously high"
said 4.r. Lincoin, ''but, judge, you always
told me to make big bills, and did this
more to please you than myselfn "Non-
sense" said the Judge. sigiye me a pen.n
He sat down, wrote another bill, and gave
it TO the boy. In few min utes the boy re-
turned with the insurance agents check
for two hundred and fifty dollars, and a
little note to Mr. Lincoln thanking him for
his promptness, and saying the aonpany,s
other work of this character would be sent
to him. Great Seottfn said the Young
lawyer 70 the old one; did you make out q
bill for two hundred and nfty dollarsp,
''Of course did, answered the old Judge;

Fhe case of the Florida man who had his
love letters produced and read in court
should teach other lovers moderation In the
making of osculatory contracts
In single postscript the Florida man un-
dertook to deliver TO the lady of his choice
no less than 1000, ,0O0, ,OOO, 900 kisses. And as
such contracts are not infrequently made in
love letters it may be well to give thought
TO the magnitude Of the undertaking, saws
the Boston Globe.
Whoever viii take the trouble to figure il
out will find that, even if this amorous
sentherner should give the lady IL, 600 kisses

II he could keep up this rate of OSCILLATION
twenty-four hours day, never pausing to
eat. sleep or take breath, working 365 days
every year, it would take him more than
100 years to complete the contract. And
by that time, it is painful to reflect, the
ardef OF his loye may have cooled, Even at
tne end OF 100 years, counting 1900 Kisses

Prince Bismarck, whether at W1ihelnk

those OF provincial gentleman never

his own way Of getting rid Of visitors who
outstay their welcome. An Ambassador
once asked him how he managed to end an
Interview. Perfectly easy,' answered
Bismarck. Ny wife knows pretty accu-

knocked at the door and informed him that

Benefits of Electric Licbt,n~.

There can be no doubt that the reduction
OF the fire risk to minimum by the inven-
ton and subdivision of the electric light and
its commercial success has contributed in a
marked degree both to the business enter
prise and social happiness of the present
decade. Ocean steamships and smaller
crafts are now equipped with the incans
asscsat light, thus gixing increased safety
70 both passengers and crew. In the home
the health and happiness of the members of
the family are increased by the freedom
from smoke and unpleasant fumes so conn.,

In the duel between De Witt Clinton and
John Swartwout back of Weehawken, in
iS0s, Clinton hit Swartwout five times, and
each time SwartyEout demanded another
shot. Once he was hit in the arm, then in
the leg, then in the finger, and finally
somewhere else; but, while struggling on
the ground IN great pain, he insisted that
ne should have another chance, though his
antagonist was as yet uninjured. In view
OF such ridiculous persistency Mr.. Clinton
nnaily cast his pistol On the ground and
walked OF, with the remark that he had no
patience with man who did not know
when. either his wounded honor or his
wounded body was satisfed.
