Commissioner Charles Somers for
months has gazed tenderly at Commits

and Water Board has been in session.
Those diamonds fascinated him. They
Alled his great big heart with rs IN UGH

of old maids in a life time. They worried
him into the 'blueS.n His dreams were
filled with diamonds and his soul longed

Committee I've been dealing in precious
stones, stones that cost the city as much
as diamonds nearly, and why should not

Before this determination left him,
Charlie invested $40 in a diamond stud.
He had IL. His ambition was satisfied.
Life to him appeared a delicious dream.
He wanted his friends to see it, to inspect
it. 1t was not stock furnished by a con-
tractor, and Charlie knew it would bear
inspection. 1t was not a stone purchased
for street paving, but O stone for his in
dividual use.
To show it he went to Phil Muldoon's
headquarters for gentlemen OF leisure,
who fill offices in the city and county gov
ernment. The stone was proudly exhib-
tied and greatly admired. Each who
gazed on it made an internal vow that he
would be a member of the Street and

How to Tell Sour Milk.


Sour milk is one of the commonest
causes of indigestion and diarrhea i'll
artificially nourished children. OF
course no mother would give her baby
milk which has begun to turn" did
she know it, but the trouble is when
milk is only slightly sour, and yet
enough SO to upset a baby's digestion,
the fault is not distinguishable by
taste or smell unless the same be mar
velously acute. Mothers should pro-
vide themselves with a sheet of blue
litmus paper. which is cheap and can
be obtained of any druggist. This
should be cut up into short and mar
row strips. When one of these is
dipped into an acid fluid the blue
color changes to a pink. Doubts as
to whether baby's milk is sour or not
can easily be set at rest by this
means. Boston Herald.

"a On Lao 6uAlHAcE III
Nowhere is the distinction between
i'll bred and cultured people of either
sex mor manifest than On a journey.
AS a rule travellers are selfish. But
consideration for Others, and espe-
cially for ladies, is q mark of civiliza-
tion. Its absence indicates the boor.
The experienced and well bred trav-
eler is calm and self possessed, while
the novice is in a constant worry and
turmoil. When going on a journey
examine the time tables and acquaint
yourself thoroughly with the routes
and all the connections. This will
give composure and prevent vexa-
tious blunders.
When a lady and her escort are
seeking seats together it is courteous
in a gentleman to give up his double
seat and find a single one elsewhere.
The duties of an escort to a lady are
manifold, and the lady should tighten
these by her urbane and cheerful be-
havior. To weary him with constant
complaints of the heat, the dust and
the flies; to mislay some OF her par
GELS every few minutes, forcing him
to rise and seek what is presently
found in her own pocket; to ask con-
stantly, Where are we now?n What
time is it?" when will we reach our
destinations to worry about her bag
gage; to find constant fault with what
is beyond his control, are all faults in
which ladies sometimes indulge, but
they indicate selfishness and a want
of cultivation. Good nature, perfect
courtesy, patience, punctuality and a
cheerful acceptance Of the outward
situation. even when uncomfortable,
mark the lady III travelling.

He Took a Tumble.

There was a tragical scene at a
funeral in Scotland the other day.
The clergyman, who is fond of elabor-
ate ceremonies, officiated, and in pro-
ceeding through the kirkyard to the
grave he thought proper to walk
backward, with his face turned to-
ward the coffin and mourners as he
walked along. AS the reverend gem
tleman headed the procession there
was nobody to warn him when he
reached the grave, the consequence
being that he fell into it backward, to
the indescribable CONSERVATION of tine
company. He was ANONYMOUSLY
dragged out, only to hear a venerable
spectator describe him as a foolish
Callahan, and another remarking that
the proceeding was lust a vain and
silly ploy.n He was lucky not to-
break his neck or his back.-LondoD

culture of the Boston bean. Poster

probably hear that war record
from C~leveland's own mouth. 1t was
n triumph of matter over mind.
A triumph of the Boston bean over
the greatest soldier New Jersey never
sent to the front. A triumph
for Boston but a disaster for New

Drowned, to Mr.. Cleveland little
thought that she was condemning to
die unheard one of the greatest efforts
of modern oratory and a al record.
But after all, sad as the bare fact is,
the incident has its moral. Even the
beans distrusted Mr.. Cleveland. He
must have lied to them; he must have
promised them a thick, rich coat of
blackjack" molasses and then eaten
them with vinegar and without
brown bread. Everyone knows how
the Boston bean dislikes to be de-
ceived and lied to, especially when
it is tafied with molasses and
gets vinegar. At the critical
moment of his whole career
Mr.. Cleveland ate Boston beans with
vinegar instead of molasses, and for
revenge they kept him in the seclu-
sion of his chamber nursing his
stomach with mustard and Jamaica
ginger while his head was teeming
with thoughts of the bloody battles
he had not fought long ago and
longed to tell to the assembled vet
Grams of the country.
The speech, however, may possibly
appear in Bill Hogencamp's private

THE weak and foolish praise be-
slowed upon bad men out of mere
good-nature is mischievous in the last
degree. Post-mortem resolutions adj
ulating r~ascals, adopted lust for the
sake of the dead mans family" be-
long to this class of evils. When peo-
pie see that a scoundrel can get an
official certificate of honesty Cd his
birthday, or the anniversary of his
marriage, or when he ends his wicked
life, one of the chief deterrents
against crime is removed.
The charity of silence is due to the
dead of whom there is nothing good
to say. But when the names of
honor and honesty are dragged in the
mire for the sake of a man to whom
they were strangers, then a wicked
thing is done, and it is the duty of
every really honest man to protest.
