THE PRINCE OF WALES.
He Does an Amount OF Ceremonial Worl
That has Never Been Equaled.


In the matter of tours, blending pub
lie, social and private functions. the
Prince has done, and continues to do,
an amount of work that has never been
| equaled, much less excelled. During
| his Indian visit he was always engaged
in some interesting public business, and
varying the ceremonial and royal duties
with recreations of an active and eXhil-
arating nature. 1t has been the same
with his European tours. No living
man has received more public addresses,
or conversed with more of the public
men of all countries, or had better OPP
portunities of acquiring the most cos
mopolitan information. The range, ra-
pidity and variety of these quasi-public
tours once furnished Punch wi tn tho
materials for humorous tale of magic
and mystery. An ambitious mortal was
depicted as intent upon following an
Illustrious Person in his travels by
means of magic opera-hat, which con-
7eyed him from place to place. He kept
up the chase for some days, flying from
capital to capital, from country
to country, from court to private
castle, from public ceremony to
private entertainment, until, physi-
cally and mentally exhausted. he
was glad to be rid of his opera-hat
and to resume his quiet life as an ordi-
nary being. The story conveyed some
very useful teaching. Reference hat

A HOMELY VIRTUE.
One Must Possess 1t to Win the Re .pect OF
Pleasant People.


Cora, when she married Frank Boyce,
was earnest in her anxiety to please his
family and to win their love. She was an
orphan and alone. His mother, she felt,
must love her as n child, and his sisters
take her in as one of themselves, or she
would not be happy She bought her
gowns of the colors which Frank said
they preferred; she practised her songs
with fresh zeal upon hearing that they
were fond of music. She was an affec.
tionate, generous girl and eager for love.
But when the wedding was over, and
Frank and his wife arrived at his
mothers house, there was look of dis.
may in the eyes of her new relatives
which thay could not conceal.
They tried to meet her appealing
glance with a cordial welcome, but they
could not be blind to the tear in her
dress which was pinned together, or to
the grease spots on her elegant cloak.
When she came down that evening in
her face was bedaubed with white pov
der, and the skirts that peeped from be
meath the satin gown were soiled.
Cora Boyce never overcame the untidy
habits of her youth. All her warm af.
fections, her beauty, her gay wit, could
not win the respect of her new kinsfolk
for woman who came to breakfast in
curl-papers and dirty wrapper. Her
husband, who had seen her before mar
riage only in the drawing-room, was
shocked, distressed, and at last out OF

She is an old woman now, and has
married children, but she never has
been able to understand why the love
which she has given so generously to
those near to her never has been repaid
in kind, nor why her children are
ashamed when she meets their friends.
She has undoubtedly made many
efforts to change her personal habits in
ihis regard, but such habits, when once
firmly established by an untidy child.

STORY oE A NECKLACE.
rhe Manufacture OF Pearl Beads In the
Time of Louis Ountorze.


Time of Louis Quatorze.
The pretty Duchess Of Fife has been
photographed in evening dress with
single string of pearls about her neck.
There is somehow about this string of
beads singularly pure and girlish air.
and it Is the one necklace that is always
in good taste for young girl. As you
clasp the string of pearl beads about
your own neck wonder how many OF
you know of the romance connected with
those which were first made?
Love, which governs all tho world,
comes in this story. In the time OF
Louis XIV there was maker of pearl
rosaries and necklaces who was famous
for the exquisite beauty that he gave
them. The ladies came from far and
near to buy these wondrous beads, for
from no one else could they be gotten.
Vainly did his rivals try to initiate the
perfect whiteness and polish of the
beads manufactured by him. With all
mis- prosperity he was very unhappy and
dreaded to sell his necklaces because of
the poison (said to be mercury with
which he used to give them their great.
beauty. One day his son was astonisheds
to hear him say, as he sold particularly
beautiful pearl rosary: Infamous man
that am! May this crime be my last"
Soon after war was declared between
France and Flanders, and the old man
was very happy, because he thought no
more necklaces would be ordered. His
only son was about to be married. and
the sweet little girl whom he had chosen
so pleased the father that he had said:
ASK of me any thing, for am glad to
have so sweets daughter" With great
glee she answered: 80, father make
for me ono of those beautiful necklaces,
such as only you can make" Ihe un-
happy man was speechless with horror.
and wandered through the woods all
night wondering what in the world no
would do. When the daytime came he
threw himself on bank beside the
water to rest. and there, floating on top,
was an iridcscent substance, at which
he could not help but look; it seemed
so like his own pearls. He searched for
it and found that the effect was caused
by the scales of n small whitefisk. He
collected some, experimental with
them, and succeeded in producing with
them the whiteness and polish for
which he had formerly been forced to
use the poison. On the wedding day
he clasped around the neck of the
beautiful bride the handsomcst string
of pearls that he had ever made, and as
he kissed her sweet, red lips he knew
he could be happy, for there was not
particle of poison in them. The truth
of the story lies in the fact that to this
day the method of making pearl beads
discovered by Martin Joaquin is still the
only one. SO if you wear about your
neck string of beads like that which
delighted the heart of the lovely Ur-
sula, and il you have to thank the man
for having invented necklace free
from taint of poison, you must remem-
Der that he perhaps would never have
made his great discovery if the whim of
woman had not driven him to it.

FARWElL AS A WITNESS.
The Illinois senator Twists Lawyer
Very Much Out of shape.

A gentleman from Chicago chatting
with party of acquaintances about
some of the laughable features of the
testimony given by newspaper men be-
fore the Dolph smelling" committee,
was reminded of an experience he had
once with Senator Farwell as a witness.
"Mr. Farwell." said he, ''owned a
building on Washington street jointly
with me and wanted to get the whole,
so he sent an agent to me to propose
trade. | accepted finally his proposition
to give me a building on the West side
and 50, 900 to boot but | distinctly told
the agent | would pay no commits
sions. More than year afterward the
agent brought suit against me for 81 $50,
claiming that the trade was $50, 900
transaction and that he was entitled un-
der the law to az per cent. commission
on that amount. As his first step to-
ward establishing his claim was to de-
termine the value of the buildings he
informed me that he was going to take
Mr.. Farwell's deposition; so with our
lawyers we went, at the appointed time,
to the gentleman's Office.
"'Mr. Farwell. said the agents law
yer, after the nature of the case had
been explained to him, did you trade
buildings with this defendant on such
and such a date?'
"'Yes, sir, said Mr.. Farwell.
"'On what terms did you make the
trade?'
"'I gave him $1,000 To boot.
Exactly! Now, Mr.. Farwell, will
you please state on oath what, in your
opinion, was the value of the building
which the said defendant traded to you
at that time?'
cit was worth about IS, 600 more than
the one traded to him. said Mr.. Far
well.
"'The lawyer looked AT first little
confused. Then bright thought struck
him.
Now, sir, said he in mandatory
tone, tell us what you considered the
building worth which you traded to him
"'Well, answered the witness quietly,
4 thought it was worth about $4,000 less
tnan the one he traded to me-
"The lawyer was now in a dignifed
rage.
trifled with. viii you, sir, or will you
not, tell me how much this building was
worth?'
"'No, sir, said Mr.. Farwell, Il won't
tell you any thing about it, But ! will
tell you something good deal more to
the point and opening drawer in his
Gesk he took out a book of check stubs.
There is the stub of check for
$500, said he, which | gave to my agent
in full payment of all commissions, and
/ believe there is law in Illinois which
prevents an agent from collecting COM
missions from both parties to transac'
ton. Now, sir, If that is all you want
to know you may run along and let me
attend to my business

day of what is now called his accession,
but on the day of his coronation; the in

FRESH FASHION NOTES.
Many Things of Particular Interest to
Lady Readers.

Perfumes are worn any place and

and there at the intersections of the de-
sign mock ruby or topaz.
A new style of glove, with the stamp
of Paris on it., has the top or arm made

Aigrettes, wings, ears of corn, ban

bronzed, FURNISHED or green jet, mount
ed on blacltened steel springs, are among
tho ingenious ornaments of the mill
linery trade.
Regarding the makeup of bed tho
French round drum bolster is the style
most favored. Where silk, morris
stufTs or cretonnes are used for dressing,
the valence which covers the foot and
sides of the bed should match the boil

Miss Frances Willard cares so little
for style that she never has more than
one dress at time, and does not get u
new one until the old one is worn out.
She is happily Indifferent to the seasons
and her velvet bonnet often gets sun
burned and her straw hat showed on.
The taste for butterfly millinery is on
the increase. Black lace butterflies are
spread over the crown of floral bonnets
and posed on the brim of large hats.
Some of these insects hover over the
blossoms that decorate lace hats. In
the hats made with velvet crown and
lace brim, clusters of these frosted,
gauzy-winged creatures are pinned.

SOME MISTAKE THERE.
A Cincinnatian Meets Mudsill and Hugs
the Floor.

We were having good time in a st.
Louis gymnasium one night when the
question of self-defense came up to be
argued by half dozen different per-
sons. Among them was man from
Cincinnati, who contended that gentle
man ought always to be able to thrash a
mudsill provided the latter would make
fair scrap of it. Two or three opposed
this theory, and to test it the Cincin-
NATHAN offered to strip while committee
went out to pick up victim. 1t was a
committee of one, and / went out upon
the street and picked my man hap
hazard. He was going past with a
bundle under his arm, and | said to him:
"Will you come in and box man five
or six rounds for five dollars?"
Regular fghter?" he asked.
NO. only an amateur"
'1'm your huckleberry."
He was plasterer, and he had some
of his tools in the bundle. He got
ready without seeming to care who his
opponent was to be, and as they entered
the ring it was seen that they were
about even in size and weight. THE
was called, and the fun began. 1t didn't
last long, however. Inside of two min
utes the plasterer planted straight
right-hander at the others nose, which
foored him and kept him on his back
for sixty seconds.
SIS that alp" calmly inquired the
plasterer as he took off the gloves.
''Yes. Here's your money"
Thanks. Good night"
When the Cincinnatian came to and
got his nose repaired he sat for long
time wondering how it all came about.
Cant you explain it?" he was finally
asked.

"Well, can"

He was mudsill all right enough,
