the change which remained from his
S'absolutely farewell" dollar. He figured
thus:
Two cigars --..............".SSo
! 81 ought to have thirteen cents left.
and I find only three. o, yes; remem-
ber-I gave a begger ten cents. Cad,
that was foolish! He's now seven cents
richer than am. But away with these
gloomy thoughts. I'll read my paper
and forget my cares"
! He drew his only chair to the window
and gazed down upon the crowded street
Cor moment Then, with a calm in
difference to his wretched financial con-
dition, he began his perusal of the days
news.
Rubber trust" he murmured, between
puffs. ssCorner in Wheat" ''Talk of q
New Salt Syndicate" Reported Con-
solidation of Southwestern Roads,"
Throwing down the journal, he
watched the smoke from his cigar mus
sngly.
Monopoly" he soliloquized, ''that is
the keynote to success. Control some
thing that everybody wants-put up the
price-and there you are. What can
get hold Of? 1 own nothing but myself
hardly in the list of available assets.
Nobody wants me. TIL ere is no demand
for me. can't sell myself to an En-
glish syndicate.
81 can't even pawn myself. But, hold!
Don't these capitalists work in a narrow
groove? They monopolize only those
things for which there is a great de-
mand. Why would it not be practicable
to corner something that nobody wants?
For instance, the world has no use for
me. Why not make the world pay for
my absence? By Jove, I'll syndi-
cate myself! Talk about Napoloons of
financed Ye gods, I'll be Alexander,
Cesar and Sergeant Gi1hooly all COM
bined! Whoop! Where's my pen? Here's
paper! GoodI Now for it!''
Thereupon he write the following:
We, the undersigned knowing Richard Froth-
lngtom, pronounce him the meanest man in New
York City. He has taken food from the hands
of hungry babes, robbed blind beggars and
treated his friends to domestic cigars. Even in
as large place as the metropolis his presence
Is considered public calamity. Beware OF him.
Carefully brushing his hat and over
coat, Selling his cane and casting an
amused glance at himself in a small
mirror, Frothington left his room, locked
the door after him, lodged his landlady
In the hall and was soon in the street.
He looked like young man of wealth
and leisure as he strolled along, smile
on his well-cut face and an air of self
satisfaction in his jaunty step. He en-
tered famous uptown bank, after a
short stroll, whose president he had
6nown in happier days.

had been careless where he should have
been attentive; but in his present mood
he did not dwell upon these unpleasant

TO REMOVE TIGHT RINGS.

From the New York Mail and Express
Very often a tight ring will stick
so fast to the finger that the wearer
will have 10 90 to the jeweler to have
it taken OFT. All kinds of rings can
be easily removed with a piece of
thread. The best thing is a piece of
silk thread, but good, strong piece
of linen thread Will do. Pass the
end between the finger and the ring.
keeping the spool. or unlimited cord,
at the side next the finger tip. Wind
the thread around the finger toward
the tip. Wind on about quarter of
an inch, and then unwind the end
under the ring, taking care to push
the ring forward over the wound
part. AS one end is unwOund wind
on at the other end, and gradually
the ring will be worked on to the tip
of the finger. 1t is q good idea to oil
or soap the thread before working it,
as the ring will slip over it much
easier than over dry thread. This
method will remove any ring, no
matter how tight it is.

LADIES APPLAUD PATTI.
THE DIVA VISITS TIE NEW ENGLAND
CCNSERVATORY OF MUSIC IN
BOSTON.

BOsTON, March 2l.-The young la
dies at the New England cOnservator-
les of music were battered this after
noon by a call from Nine. AdeIina
Patti. She was tastefully dressed in
street costume, with a brOcade outer
| garment handsomely trimmed with
fur, and wore a most bewitchiDg walk
| ing hat, with black lace veil. Smiling
sweetly and bowling in response to the
cordial greeting, she was escorted to
seat. Professor ElsOn announced
that Nine. Patti had promised to be-
stow in each succeeding year medal,
to be known as the Patti medal, to be
awarded the pupil showing the great
est proficiency in vocal culture, in
whatever school. While the applause
evoked by this announcement was
still ripping forth, a young lady
stepped to the front OF the platform,
and. on behalf of her associate pupils,
presented Nine. Patti with a large
and handsome bouquet of lilies Of the
valley. These the diva received with
manifest pleasure, and bowed her
thanks. She then lett the platform
and made a brief inspection OF several
of the departments of the conserva-
tory, followed everywhere by troops |
of admiring young ladies', all eager !
for closer look at the great singer |
than was afforded in the hall
Nine. PATHS visit to the cOnserva-
tory is the first she has made to an in
stitutiOn OF this kind in the country. |
Her acceptance of the invitation was
doubtless due much to her personal
friendship for Signor Rotoli, and to
the tact that Nine. Nordica, now of
the Patti company, was once pupil
at the institution.
