The Golden Caskct.

RuVp q e
+ The Germans have q story which tho
home loving people love to repeat A
father, when his daughter became .
bride, gava her golden casket with tho
injunction not to pass it into other
hands, for it held . charm which in her
keeping would be Of finestimated value
to her as the mistress of the house.
Not only was she to have the entire
care of it, but she was to take it every
morning to the cellar, the kitchen, the
dining loom, in the library, the bed
room, and remain with it in each place
for five minutes, looking carefully about.
After the lapse of three years the
father was to send the key, that the
secret talisman might be revealed
The key was sent. The casket was
opened. 1t was found to contain an
old parchment on which was written
these words: ''Ihe eyes of the mistress
are worth 100 pairs of servants hands. >
The wise father knew that q practice
of the inspection followed faithfully for
three years would become q habit and
be self perpetuated-that the golden
casket and the hidden charm would

On one of the warm days Mrs. T -

"Neither this summer nor any other
summer" said Mrs. positively.
"Why," answered the friend, fort.
night ago my husband and l called at
your home on Sunday afternoon.
Your maid came TO the door and told
us that Mr.. T-and yourself had gone
out for the day in your new yatch."
Mrs. Unused deeply thereat, but
decided to say nothing to the maid. A
few days later, however, a woman friend
calling said: "By the way, have not
yet seen you driving in your new car

"But l haven't any new carriage" re-

"Why," answered her visitor, a short

A sudden light broke upon Mrs.

"Mary, she said, @did you tell Mr.. and
Mrs. M--not long ago that we had
gone out in our new yacht?"
"Yes'm," said Mary.
"And did you tell Mrs C-that ]
had gone out to try my new horses?"
"Yes'm," again said Mary.
"And have you told any other things
like that to other people?"
"Ys'm."
And then it came out that not only
was Mary perfectly devoted to tn.
family fortunes, but was more ambi.
tious for the elevation thereof than the
family itself, and that upon every pos

saw the Princess of Wales driving
on Picadilly on her way back to Marl-
barough House from her visit to the
Royal Academy. She was becomingly
and tastefully dressed in brown silk and
velvet, but truth compels me to say that
her beauty is decidedly ON the wane.
To be sure it is time-she is nearly for
ty-six-but she has preserved her deli
cate lOveliness, so long unimpaired that
one parts with an illusion on Leholding
her now. She is "fearfully and won
derfully made" up, though very artisti-
cally, and wears quantities of false hair
which is lighter, not redder, than her
own locks used to be in by-gone days.
Rumor declares that her Royal High
ness wears wig, and she certainly
INDUCES in too great mass of false
tresses to suit either the shape of her
head or the delicate outline of her
features. In her photographs she is as
beautiful as ever, but seen near at hand
in broad daylight one cannot but be
amazed at the amount of artifice en-
ployedin preserving even the shadow of
her youthful charms. This process
of painting and powdering and pencil
ing and berigging ones self is always
the mistake into which royal ladies who
have great beauties invariably fall when
they become advanced in. life. The
Empress Eugene was flagrant example

The evidence is limited to the confessions
Of Yellowstone and Charlie Hope to other

that YaRo. while drunk, bested Hope in a
fsticuff. Yellowstone interfered and Yago
was beaten until he promised to be peacea-

he would kill Hope and Yellowstone, making
good starter by breaking q beer bottle on
Yellowstone's head. The other two then

started off at Rallop. The rope broke
