friend who has just returned from
Paris tells me an amusing and charac-
teristir anccdote. During the recent cX-
position there was little railroad, five
miles in length, running around the
grounds. The tracks ran in and out
among the trees and buildings, and so
near them that passengers head or
arm thrust out of the window was in
danger of being knocked off. To pre-
vent accidents of this sort warnings
were printed on large posters and tackled
up at intervals of a few yards along the
entire track, They were printed in al
most every known language, including
Asiaric and African tongues. shorthand
and Nolapuk My friend counted over
thirty languages and dialects. You
would have supposed that none was
omitted in such list. But there was
one omission, and a very important one.
Not single word of warning was print
ed in German. Some one said to the
manager of the road: at looks to me as
though you didn't care whether the Ger
mans got their heads and arms knocked
off or not" lie smiled quiet smile and
replied: ut does lock that way, sure
enough. Critic.

ABOUT MOONSTONES.


The word precious can not be APP
piled to moOnstones, said a well-known
dealer in jc Helry, because their
marketable value is relatively small at
all times, and is still further Influenced
bg the DEGREES OF fashion. For some
years past We have had bat few calls for
moonstones, but about twelve months
ago they we're restored TO popular favor.
and will probably continue to be much
used for some time to come. The stones
come from India, are easily procured,
and there is but little waste in cutting
They are almost invariably of a blush
white tint, the rays of the most perfect
stones much resembling moonlight
lherre the nance, those of less clear
or ycliowish hue being of but little
value. When carved, the clear trans
parency of the stone is of course married.
but many of them are SO embellishcd,
the man in the moon being a fayorite
device, and a bahy's face surrounded
with cap of pearls or diamonds
another"
The moonstone is seldom worn alone
by fashionable people, having usually
an accompanying setting of diamonds or
other precious stones. In response to a
question the dealer added: The
largest moonstone | have ever seen was
one of oblong shape about one and three
quarters inches in length and three
quarters of an inch in width. This was
set to represent a butterfly with partial
ly closed wings of brilliantly-colored
stones, and was intended to he worn as
a pendant. These stones are not valued
by weight as others are, but simply by
appearance and size, a perfectly round
stone being more desirable than fiat
ter one and more rare
As the moonstone is additionally
lucky it is most suitable for souvenirs,
parting and anniversary gifts, and from
present indications will be much used
for favors and wedding presents during
the coming gay scason.-N. y. sun.

To his early love once more.
As he tenderly bent o or her.

He spread his cause before her
With his customary grace.

Sof, he whispered In her ear,
There are no ways like the old ways

There are no flowers like the lost flowers,
Withered, crushed and mourned In vain
There are no hours like lost hours;

The Most Desirable End,

Most people have many things in
which they desire to succeed, innocent
in themselves except when they inter
ferc with a higher aim and worthier
purpose, 1t is this conflict of aims, this
graduation of duties, that makes life
often seem so complex and SO difficult.
Tho questions come continually before
every thoughtful mind: is this aim
which | set before me the highest can
reach? Is it not merely desirable end,
but the most desirable? Is it likely
to lead to still better and worthier
purposes, or is it likely to hide them
from view?" As we answer these ques-
tons to ourselves intelligently and con-
scientiously, the rightful limits of each
will become clear. and our desire to
succeed in each will harmonic with
those limits. Thus the desire for pleas
ure will be limited by the desire for
health, the care of self by the care for
others, the love of money by the love of
honor, the effort to please by the effort
to do right.-N. Y. Ledger.

Their sons,

NEW YORK, May ga Washing
ton special to the World says: But
terworth, of Ohio, and Coleman, of
Louisiana, explained to the World
correspondent yesterday, without
hesitation, the former, why he voted
for the Mckinley bill, and the latte,
why he voted against it. Mr..
Coleman is the one stright Re-
publican from the Gulf States.
II voted against the bill,n said
Mr.. Coleman, because it sacrifices
the one great interest of my constitu-
ents, the interest which am here to
protect. | am prOtectionist as rep
resentative of the sugar growers of
Louisiana. | wanted to see the sugar
protected, whereas the Mckinley bill
makes foreign sugar practically free.
This bill provides certain bounty for
home sugars, but my people
don't want a bounty. They don't
believe in it. 1t is uncertain
and unreliable. There is no pro-
lection in it and ..as the bill sacrl-
fees this one great interest of my pee
pie, did not see how l could vote for
it," Mr.. ButterwOrth prefac ICED his eX-
PLANTATION of his course with strong
eulogy of the intelligence, consistency
and manliness of the stand Mr..
Coleman had taken; 'fOr myself"
said Mr.. Butterworth, II am a protec-
ZIONIST and l belong to the republican
party. The Mckinley bill is a pro-
lection bill, but as L ventured to say
on the floor of the house, it is not con-
structed on the lines which seem to be
the best policy, and to afford
the best protection to the whole
American people. 1 am in
the caravan of the republican
party. 1t is one thing to protest
against the action of the driver and
try to exercise more or less of a tug at
the reins, but it would be an entirely
different thing to get out of the
wagon and face the team with
badge on. The man who
would do SO, would run
big risk of being run over
and trampled upon. What good could
do voting against my party on the
passage of such a bill? None what
ever, whereas by remaining in, 1
may be able to exercise little intlu-
ence for good. Mr.. Mckinley is an
extreme protectionist, he is straight
forward, honest and manly in the eX-
preston Of his own ideas, but
sincerely believe in this mat
ter of tariff the senate at
present. is more in sympathetic touch
with the people than has found eX-
preston IN the house. A tariff bill
must originate in the house, but I
hope that in the senate the bill will
be modified, so as to be more in line
with the thought endeavored to ex-
press in the house and I believe so
modified, it will become law this
summer

returned portions of the sums to the

from Solomon G. Hatch, both colored.
The ground was failure to provide and
the case went by default. The other was
E. 0. Hill from Abraham Hill, for deser-
ton.
In Department 2 Eugene Destry was
before commission in lunacy. 1t was
shown that Destry was in the habit OF
indulging in absinthe, and was suffering
from nervous excitement. He was sent
to the county Jail for few weeks to
quiet down.
August Eckert, native of Germany,
was made citizen.
In the Supreme Court A. M. S. Car
penter, Esq, was admitted on motion of
