was mum as the Sphinx when 1 asked
her if she'd made will But l found
out all the same, and if I'm not down

"I'm sure she has remembered me
with something handsome" said third
Cousin Sally Dean, "and I've earned it,
too, toadying to the old nuisance as l
have for the last ten years"
The relatives of Miss Trimpy curbed
their Impotence for two weeks Then
they assembled in body and marched
to Lawyer Grimm's Office, asking that
the will be read to them.
"Well," said the old lawyer, who was
as grim as his name, you must know
that the will can not be probated until
there is further proof of Miss Trimpy's
death. However, l am willing to read
the will to you, that you may know
what to expect" and he read it.
1t was a brief, concisely expressed
and unbreakable document. To the
twenty relatives living in Elderville
and all present in Lawyer Grimm's Of

and bequeathed one dollar each, with
the suggestion that they each purchase
a copy Of the New Testament and read
therein every thing pertaining to deceit
and hypocrisy All the remainder of
her entire estate was left to the town Of
Elderville for the purpose of establish
ing and maintaining free public
library.

When they had said all they could

SHOEMAKERS' DRUGS.
Queer Articles Used In a Well Rec ulated
Shoe Factory.

Shoe Factory.
Few people outside of the trade are
aware of, or appreciate the number Of
different articles that are required in q
well-regulated shoe factory. To the
ordinary man it would seem as though
leather, thread, nails and wax would
fill all the requirements, but the man
ufacturer who pays the bills could tell
a different story. The finishing room
alone requires almost laboratory to
prepare and combine as many as fifty
different drugs and chemicals to meet
the demand for varied rides, lusters
and finishes. The freeing and bottom
ing departments also require many arti-
Giles not popularity associated with the
things used would never be thought Of
in connection with shoe, as, for in
stance cream of tartar, which is gener-
ally associated in the public mind with
the kitchen and the cook, though the
resulting biscuits are at times leathery
enough. And who would think that
beer, common lager beer, would find its
way into the shoe as we'll as into the
shoemaker. But so it is, and it makes
desirable resolvent with some bottom
stains.
Nitro-glycerine, or rather the active
constituent parts of it, sulphuric and
nitric acids, are used on some well-ap-
proved articles of footwear, but the
wearers need not be alarmed. They are
! not mixed in such manner as to endan-
ger the customers existence, for the
manufacturer, has use for and wishes to
preserve him.
Many other strange things might be
mentioned, as terra alba, dextrine, tu-
meric, blue vitriol, yellow ochre, Irish
moss, pipe clay, etc, not forgetting tar
tario acid, that plays such an important
part in the circus lemonade, which de-
lights the small boy. This has its uses
in the shoe, as we'll as at the show, and
is perhaps of more benefit to the young
man in his shoe than in his stomach

and, to her great surprise, had left Miss
Trimpy twenty-five thousand dollars.
She had invested this money so wisely,
and managed her income so carefully,
that her fortune had more than doubled
by the time Miss Trimpy was forty-fve
years of age.
She was still Miss Trimpy when that
time came, and she often declared her
intention of remaining Miss Trimpy as
long as she lived. This declaration
gave perfect satisfaction to her rela-
tives living in Elderville, the little
town in which Miss Trimpy had been
born, and in which she still lived in a
little, old-fashioned home left her by her
parents.
She had made few changes in her man
ner of living when her fortune came to
her. She had, in her own words, made
herself com Portable" and that, she said,
was all she desired in this world. She
had had the old house painted anew, and
made some needed repairs, and she had
purchased a long desired, "fowered,
real Brussels" for her little parlor, but
three or four hundred dollars would
have paid for all the changes she made,
and she still dressed as plainly and sob
erly as Quakeress, spending less than
one hundred dollars year for her
clothes.
Her simple, inexpensive style of liv-
ing also afforded her relatives no little
satisfaction. These relatives were nu-
merous. In fact, Miss Trimpy did not
realize how numerous they really were,
until her fortune came to her. Pre-
vious to that time, most Of them had
held themselves aloof from the lady
who was now dear Cousin Thyrza, u
and dear aunty" to them. Some Of
them became so extremely solicitous
about their dear relative that they ex
pressed willingness to leave their
own homes and take up their permanent
abode with "dear Cousin Trimpy," thai
they might "take care OF her."
Others opened their homes and hearts
to her, and begged dear Cousin Thyrza'
to come and live with them, but al

One day she amazed her kindred ant

No Girl Is Really Beautiful whose Actions
Are Not Refined.
Probably there is not young girl
among our readers who does not ardent

But as we must all be content with the

true now as in the old days of chivalry.
With complexion as soft and exquisite

"Out of the abundance of the heart the

If kindly feelings are cultivated, they
will prevent their possessor from hurt
ing others when keen intellect or
bright wit finds opportunity for sarcas-
tic or ill-natured speeches, or for those
numberless rude actions which speak
louder than words. Temper curbed
gives dignity of manner, and a calm
mind makes its possessor gentle in

There is a certain polish Of manner
