Chatting with a Western man about
Charles F. Crocker, the Pacific coast
millionaire who died last fall, some OF
the side incidents Of his life. by which
his character may be gagged, came out.
1t was one of his common expressions.
early in his successful career, to say
that he was a self-made man, and he
has frequently, of latter years, told how
he constantly made use of this phrase
as an excuse for any breach of the con-
yentional rules of etiquette. After he
had become wealthy he started on a
trip around the world, which took him
down the Red sea on board an English
vessel. The heat was in~tolerable, and,
in accordance with his independent
notion of things, he took his seat at the
table without his coat, remarking to a
companion, as he did SO, that a self
made MAI didn't need a coat with the
thermometer at 100 Degrees There
was quite a stir among the passengers,
and a protest from the captain, which
led Mr.. Croker to resume his coat, but
not before he had put forth another de-
claration that lie was a self.made man.
Mr.. Croker has been heard to relate
the sequel of this story, and to laugh
over it most heartily. An old gentle
man who had been regarding him with

A PAPER-PULP ORGAN.-A very
original musical instrument has recent
ly been constructed at Milan, namely,
an organ whose pipes, instead of being
made of metal. consist Of paper-pulp.
Its history. rays the Chester Eng

conditions that tire most unpretending
communities could purchase one of
these instruments. This monk, who
had passed his life In poverty, was
hampered by a lack Of money. and not
withstanding his efforts to carry out his
undertaking was beginning to despair
Of success, when he had the fortune to
meet an artisan, Luigi Colombo, who
understood the construction of the in
strument, and was go I'd cough to aid
BIN In carrying out his design. They
both went resolutely to work. and

Love is the ruling power of the NOR
al world. Looking out into the uni
verse through the prism Of love We see
all nature dressed in robes Of rarest
beauty. But to the life over which
love does not predomlnate, the world is
without a charm, existence Is a burden
and each successive breath Is drawn
with increased pain.
Truth is stronger than any network
of deception, however complex may be
its weaving, and sooner or later the
reality will break through and make
itself manifest. 1t Is only a question
Of time when he who pretends to wis
dom which he has not is weighed and
found wanting. Yet the betrayal of
his ignorance will be the least Of the
penalties he will have to suffer. The
greatest mistake he has made has been
In supporting that the wise and good,
whose esteem he covets, value know
ledge above sincerity. Ignorance is. in
itself, no disgrace. 1t may result from
circumstances over which he could
have had no control. In any case. the
few things he can by the utmost labor
acquire are a mere nothing to those of
which he must remain ignorant. But
honesty is a characteristic which all
may possess. and Its absence is a dis
grace that nothing can wipe out.
Without money, without friends, and
without imprudence, is about as low
down in this world as any man can get,
and keep virtuous.
Do not undertake to do more work
than can successfully be mastered.
What is worth doing well is often made
valueless by a little oversight or neglect.
1t Is easy to get swamped in our work,
and when once behind we labor CON
tnually under disadvantages.

The block orange Is a mere variety OF
the sweet orange obtained by cultiva-
ton. and appears first to have been
raised by the Spanish gardeners in the
Philippine Islands, from the capital Of
which (Manilla) it, together with the
well-known cigars, formed at one time
one of the chief articles of export. On
its first appearance in Europe it excited
a considerable sensation; and in the last
century very high prices were demand
ed for the trees Which bore the wonder
full fruit. None, however, now come
to us from Manila, our supply being
derived almost entirely from Malta,
where great pains and attention are be-
slowed upon their cultivation. 1t was
for a long time supposed-and, indeed.
the idea is not yet quite extinct-that
blood oranges were produced by the
grating of the orange with the poms-
granate; but there is not the slightest
foundation for this belief.

DIPLOMATIC RoMANCEA
Late Marriages Recall Stories Thai
Are Worth Reading.

Many diplomats have recently wed.
ded Americans. writes a correspondent
from Washington. A few years ago,
however, there was even a greater
eagerness to wed American girls. Cne
Die Campo, of the Chlllan Legation,
angled earnestly and widely for an
American girl with a fortune. He was
a rogue, and kept the city In an uproar
by his sprees. After an unusually i'm
pas Toned appeal to a Washington girl
he Vas recalled, and, returning by way
of Panama, lie wrote a letter to her,
purporting to come from a friend, de-
scribing in vivid language an account
Of the rejected Del Cempo's death by
the dread fever of the tropics. His
obituary was done up by himself IN
good shape. The girl was still lament
ing her GOODNESS TO the sensitive South
erper when she heard from the Gillian
WHO took her lovers place that tho
former attache of the Gillian Legation
was now attaclie of a horse-car in the
Gillian capital.
These modern romances Of American
girls and foreign noblemen can not
match the alliance Of forty years ago,
the famous marriage of the old Count
de Bodisco, the Russian Minister. and
Miss Harriet Williams, the George
town beauty. He was old and deere
| pit. 1t was said that he wore plump
| ers'' in his cheeks and dressed his poor,
broken old form so that he would look
like IA nan of forty, after he saw the
beautiful schoolgirl at her fathers
house in Georgetown. For she was a
school-girl-only fourteen when be mar
ried her. He sent her to Europe TO
finish her education, and when she
came back she was SAID 10 be the most
beautiful woman In America. A mag
nifcent, fair woman, with golden hair
and brown eyes, was thi7 young wife OF
the old Count de Bodice. After leav-
ing here her husband returned to Rug
STA, and she became the reigning belle
of st. Petersburg.
More pathetic than this story, for it
was surely pathetic for q girl OF four
teen to marry a man of seventy, was
the story Of his sister, Miss Fanny
Williams. At the time Count de Bod
isco was Minister he had with him as
attaches two nephews Of the same
name, whom in his last hours he ac-
knowledged as his illegitimate sons.
One of these nephews loved the sister
of his Incompatible aunt. The Count
de Bodisco claimed that the Russian
law forbade such an intermarriage, and
the two were separated. She went to
St. Petersburg with her beautiful sister,
became engaged to a Russian noble
man, and on the eve of her marriage
was found dead, with the ivory minia-
ture of her first lover in her hand. The
tales of the old days are best.

view of the order of events places this

some think the events narrated in Luke

elf gives the other order, and his lang
uage in Luke 10 l is quite general,
probably, referring to the journey rs a
Whole, and not to some specific entrance
TO Jericho. This would sufficiently ex-
plain the divergence in the accounts.
Others think that Matthew and Mark
refer to the old city, and Luke to the
new; but this is less probable. The

At a recent meeting of the American
Ornithologists Union, Ernest Z. Thomp-
son, of Canada, said that some birds,
especially sparrows, have yentriloquial
powers. Birds, when surprised in the
act of singing, will be silent for a mo-.
ment, and then give forth a faint song
that seems to come from a distance,
though the singer be not farther than
ten feet away. Thrushes and robins.
the lecturer said, also have this power.
