you haven't heard the truth then,
said my dsughter-in-law. sMy hus-
bands mother is a very fine woman IN
every respect. But when my husband
told her suddenly that he was going to
marry girl she never saw, she was
naturally startled, and said some things
about me, knowing I was fresh from
boarding school and no housekeeper,
that offended Gregory, and 50 there
has been an estrangement. 1 think
my dear husband little to blame, and
l have urged him dozen times to go
and see her. He is very fond of her,
and thinks no one like her In many
things; but his temper is up, and it
Will take time to cool it; meanwhile, /
feel quite sure if she knew me she
would like me better. Perhaps that
is a piece of vanity, but I should try to
make her, you know, and I won't fall
into absurd superstitions that woman
must hate her mother-in-law. 1 can't
remember my own mother, and Greg
ory's certainly would seem to come
next to her. Now you have the story,
Mrs. Switzer."
Il am sure it does you credit, and
the old lady ought to be ashamed OF
herself"
1 wanted to get up and kiss my
daughter-in-law then and there, but
that would have spoiled my fun, SO
after that sewed hard and didn't say
much, and together we finished the
pretty silk dress, and had just finished
it when a key in the door caught both
our ears.
"That is my husband" said my
daughter-in-law; and I knew it was
Gregory Up stairs he came, two steps
at time, opened the door, and looked
at us with bright smile on his face.
"This is as it should be. Fanny, ]
shall kiss mother first this time"
And he put his arms around us both,
but Fanny gave little scream.
%Oh, Gregory what are you about
This is Mrs. Switzer, who is making
my dress. At least, 1 have thought
so all day"
"My DEAR" said I, "I've played a
little trick on you. or rather let you
play one on yourself, but you've turned
out as good as gold. L could not get
you to say word against the old lady.
1 am Gregory's mother, my dear, and
yours, too, if you'll call me So"
Indeed L WILL" said the dear girl,
"but 1 have kept you sewing hard all
day. You see, 1 was expecting Mrs,
Switzer, and I"
We've been all the more sociable
for that, my DEAR" said I, "and I'm
glad it happened. Pve been very fool.
ish all the while, and Gregory has
chosen better wife for himself than
l could have DONE"
And SO think to-day, for I believe
there never was a better woman than
Gregory's wife Fanny.

The Biggest Ruby and Cats Eye.

The biggest and in every way the best
ruby in ex stence, so far as connoisseurs
know, is on sale at famous shop in
London. Fifty thousand dollars is the
price asked for it. 1t is broader than a
filbert nut and gives out a deep red glow.
Queen Victoria sighed when she saw it
and declared it had no parallel in the
crown Jewels, and tie Duchess Of Edin-
burgh clrried it all the way to st.
Petersburgh for the Gar to have look
at it.
The worlds biggest and most beauti-
full cats eve was taken to London not
long ago from Ceylon. 1t weighs 10
carats and is insured for 40, 900 rupees.
It casts but four opalescent rays, which
are said to combine to form one single
stream of light. Cats eyes of such bril-
liancy are now said to sell for Is much
as diamonds. Ordinarily the cats eye
is considered on Y a semi-pIecious stone.

Who want to do their lifting on the small

They do lot of blowing, and they strive TO

He Washed the Tiger.

When Pezon, the lion-tamer, was
at Moscow with his menagerie, he
had occasion to employ moujik,
fine specimen of a Co ssack, to clean
out the cages OF the wild beasts. The
Cossack did not understand a word
OF French, and the terms Of the con-
tract were settled in dumb show.
By way Of instructing him in his
new duties, Pezon went through n
sort of pantomine with the broom,
sponge and water bucket.
The moujik watched him closely,
and appeared fully to understand
the details of the lesson given. Next
morning, armed with a broom, q
bucket and sponge, he opened the
first cage he came to, and quietly
stepped in as he had seen his master
step, on the previous day, into two
cages Of harmless brutes; but this
one happened to be teDanted by IL
splendid but unframed tiger, that lay
stretched on the floor asleep.
At the noise made by opening and
closing the door the creature raised
it's head, and turned it's green eyes
full on the man, who, all unconscious
of his danger, stood in a corner dip
ping bis big sponge into the bucket.
At that moment Pezon came out
of his caravan, and was struck dumb
by the terrible sight that met his
gaze. What could he do to warn the
man OF his danger? A sound, a
movement on his part might enrage
the great beast, and hasten it's at
tack on the defenseless Cossaek. Sc
Pezon stood. awaiting developments
ready to rush to the scene when the
crisis came.
The mouiik, sponge in hand, cool
! Nv approached the tiger, and made
ready to rub him down with thu
stolidity of a military bootblacl
polishing his captains boots.
The sudden application OF cole
water to its hide evidently produced
very agreeable effect on the tige,l
for it began to purr, stretched GU
it's paws, rolled over on it's back, ant
compIaeently offered every part 0
it's body to the vigorous treatmen
Of the moujik, who went on scrub
bling with might and main.
All the while Pezon stood ther
with his eyes wide open, and as
nailed to the spot.
| When he had finished his job, tn
Cossack left the cage as quietly a
he had entered it. and it require
