excitement lasted it is said some Of the
enthusiasts fell on their knees before the
manuscript.
The elder Ireland died in 1902. His son
long survived him, but his literary reputa-
ton was blighted forever. and ne died in
straitened circumstances in 1870 While
the most mediocre of writers, he passed off
a number of his verses under the name of
the greatest of poets.
Chatterton was another conspicuous ex-
ample of this sort of INSTRUCTED ability,
and he is the only literary impostor whose
works have real value independent OF
the name under which they appear. When
be brought out the so called poems of
Rowley, which still have place in litera-
ture, he was but IS years Of age, and some
of his poems written when he was only II
are characterized by much grace and
melody.
But ne was greedy of renown, and it be-
came a passion with him to deceive the
public. The old stories of the pretended
monk Rowley furnished him the means,
and his ingenious ballads, poems, histories
Of ancient churches and genealOgies are
still read with curious regard.
The names of other forgers of antique
texts, pictures and relics might be enumer-
ated, but the instances already quoted will
serve to show the methods pursued and
the ease with which not only the public
may be deceived but how scientific experts
themselves stand dumb and COMPOUNDED in
the presence of such amazing skill

The possibilities of insurance seem end
less. 1t has been reserved for an ingenious
broker to offer to insure against what may
best be termed household negligence"
The argument is certainly feasible-a ship
owner insures against the negligence Of
his servants, the officers and crew of the
vessel, so why should not a householder
insure against similar risks? Time alone
can prove whether complete assurance
can be obtained or as TO whether we can
sit calmly knitting while indisputable
aural evidence is given that the family
china is tobogganning down the kitchen
stairs. If practicable a woman may at last
realize the POpeian ideal and be really
mistress of herself though china fall."-

His Wife Fought for Him.

Noble Rush keeps a small oyster house
at Washington, and is the husband Of a
woman who believes in being a helpmeet
with all the force of her vigorous charac-
ter. The other day Noble got into trouble
and the police court. He was charged with
keeping an unlicensed bar. His attorney
failed to appear at the trial, and Mrs. Rush
thereupon filled the legal breach with her
portly presence. She allowed that she
knew thing or two about law herself, and
she defended her accused husband with
the fierce vigor of an indignant woman.
She accused the witnesses for the prose-
cution of "prejurdy" and made an impas-
stoned appeal TO the judge, who was so af-
fected that he let ar. Noble Rush OF with

A Sideboard Cover.

A cheap and yet tasteful cover for the
sideboard marble Is greatly desired by
most women. 1t can be made of linen
crash which costs about twelve and one
half cents per yard; cut it long enough so
that the ends will hang over for about one
quarter of a yard; fringe the ends and
overcast the edge; then put three rows of
drawn work above the fringe, and if you
choose to still further ornament it, sim
pie vine in outline stitch may be worked
on each end. Work this with crewel; it
will wash better than marking cotton will,
and besides, you can take longer stitches
with good effect. Two or three of these
simple scarfs will not cost as much as
very handsome one, and you will be able
to keep the sideboard looking neat and Or

IL is not as many enthusiastic dress re-
formers suppose. necessary that the waist
should be permitted and encouraged to
spread all that it will, but only that there
should be sufficient freedom for the nat
ural and correct movement Of the floating
ribs and diaphragm IN breathing. This
movement is slight aud entirely consistent
with delicately curved and graceful waist
line. BY keeping the chest constantly and
properly raised the waist line will be di-
minished very percepdbly without arti-
fetal aid
From the artistic side OF the question n
slenderly boned waist is all right, while
the much stifTened corset, with its I'M
yielding steels, especially when closely
laced, gives an angle in place OF a curve,
and a prominence Of rigidly squared
shoulders aud bullying hips and abdomen

eSque carriage.

Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt Clever Write

There is small likelihood that any menu
Der of the Vanderbilt family will ever find
it necessary to work for his or her livel-
hood, unless the dreams of the socialist
are fulfilled. Mrs. Frederick Vanderbilt
could, however, did the case demand, turn
an honest penny by writing for the press.
This perhaps will astonish her many
friends, but nevertheless it is fact that
Mrs. Vanderbilt is an exceedingly clever
writer and more than once articles have
appeared an the papers over Z. nom de plume
whose identity has never been guessed at
These articles show clearness of style,
precision and skill which it is generally
conceded are only obtained by much read
ing and great practice. Whether Mrs.
Vanderbilt has the qualifications usually
considered necessary TO the attainment of
good writing the fact remains that the
work turned out by her pen is above that
of the average newspaper man.-New York

Drs. Abernethy, Rush, Hosack and Har-

doctor the world ever saw is a Christian
mother. Dear me- Do we not remember
her about the room when we were sick in
our boyhood? Was there any one who
could so touch a sore without hurting its
And when she lifted her SpectacleS against
her wrinkled forehead, so that she could
look closer at the wound, it was three
fourths healed. And when the Lord took
her home, although you may have been men
and women thirty, forty OF fifty years Of
age, you lay on the coffin lid and sobbed as
though you were only five or ten years old.
1t is fortunate that God does not ask us
when TO let the old folk go, for we would
keep them too long from their needed rest.

said of older children.
