was a success. Before six o'clock the
free bus was on it's way to and from the
residence always reaching there loaded
both old and young anxious to geta seat

company was entertained by the frantic
efforts of the hungry Chlnaman to
obtain his supper which he succeeded
in doing though it was again taken from
him. Ezekiels courtship next amused
the audience for a time and brought
forth peals of laughter. A series of
tableaus on Joan of Arc were next pre-
sented and were very effective. This
program over some went to supper,
others started home, while still others
enjoyed numerous games until quite a
late hour. A fine time was had and the
ladies cleared about SIS.

The four young people laughed a
good deal. When four hands each

One OF his grenadiers stepped out

pinch of your snuff"
When the King had recovered from
his astonishment at the mans pre-
sumption he demanded to know what
he meant.
The soldier replied, seriously: at

from your Majesty, that when a gen

taps the lid, he makes every one

The King laughed heartily at the
mans earnestness and not only treat
ed him to a pinch of snuff, but pre-
sented him with the box, which was q
valuable one, bidding him keep it in
the family forever.

all in order, some with faint, shor1

ing-then silence-a terrible silence
filled with strange sounds; the silenc,
ofmidnight with the monotonous rush
ofwater far away, the distant bark o
dogs, strange voices, unintelligibl,
words, the echo of steps that came
and went, the rustic of sweeping
draperies, stihed signs, together with
painful shudderings of horror, all in
dicating the presence of something
which can not be seen, but whose
presence is known notwithstanding
the deep darkness.

cam | as easily frightened as those
poor fools, whose hearts quicken when
they hear ghost story?"
She again tried to sleep, but in vain
She lifted her head from her pillow,
paler, more uneasy and fearful than
before. Now it was surely no longer
a fancy. The heavy brocaded curtains
had surely rustled as they parted and
slow steps were heard approaching
upon the carpet. The sound of these
steps was muffled, almost inaudible,
but continued; and together with them
was heard rafting as of wood or
bones. They approached nearer,
nearer-almost at the side of the
couch. Inez gave a shrill shrek, threw
herself under the quilt, hid her face
and held her breath.
The wind howled upon the balcony,
the water, in the distant fountain fell
and fell with the same monotonous
sound; the bark of the dogs was
brought to her ears by every blast,
and the city's church bells far and
near rang, with their deep sound, for
the souls Of the departed.
Thus passed an hour, two, the night,
n century, for this night seemed to
lnez an eternity. At last day broke,
and 1nez, calming her fears dared to
open her eyes as the sunbeams enter
ed the room. After whole, long
night OF watching and horror the
clear and bright light of day is very
beautiful. She stepped upon the floor,
and was ready to laugh at her fears,
when, suddenly, cold sweat broke
out over her body, her eyes stared
wildly, and deathly paleness over
spread her countenance, for, out of
the window she saw, lying at the gate,
covered with blood, with the trinket
in his hand, Bernino-dead.

Considerable attention has been
directed to the tricks of the diamond
trade in Paris by the investigation Of
the charge that firm of diamond
dealers had "doctored" yellowish dia-
monds from the Cape so that they
could be sold as gems of the first
water. The illegimate proceeds of the
firm from this practice are estimated
at So, 100000 The Paris professor
of chemistry, Berthelot, has shed this
light on the matter:
'The painting of diamonds is o.

that these men allowed themselves to
be caught so easily. To give vel.

ance OF white Brazilian or Indian dia-
monds a man has only to dip them in
anime. The process resembles the
blueing ofclothes by the washerwoman
, and discovered about ten years ago.
The operation is so simple that now
a few Parish women practice it. They
buy cheap diamonds and touch them
up Just before wearing them out in an
aniline bath. The appearance of the
doctored diamonds deceives at first
glance even the experts. The Law
er OF aniline wears off quickly, how
ever, and the fraud is then quite evil

alert against frauds of this kind and
| doubt that any house could market
$4,000, 900 worth of the doctored
goods. The difference between Cape
diamonds and the Brazilian or In
dian diamonds, which is the basis of
the fraud, consists in the greater
beauty and clearness of the latter. as
well as in their greater durability.

Going Early.

Punctuality is perhaps a character.
istic American trait At all events
American tourists abroad are given to
bewailing the dilatory ways of other
peoples. How early this characters
tic is sometimes developed-in connec-
ton, too, with the American habit OF
traveling-is pleasantly illustrated in
little story printed in Golden Days.
A small, rosy-checked girl picked up
her doll and her dolls trunk, and
trudged mile or more over frosty
roads until she reached a railway sta
ton. There she boarded the first
train that came along, and contented-
ly settled herself and her doll into o
vacant seat.
By and by the conductor appeared.
He looked down at the little woman,
who was pointing out flying trees and
other objects of interest to her travel
ing companion, the doll.
'Where are you going, little one?"
asked the big man with buttons.
"Why, Pm going to the Worlds Fair,
of course.
The conductor coughed.
aren't you rather early?" he ask
ed. 81 don't believe the doors are
open yet"
Dear me-" said the child in alarm,
what shall do?"
Perhaps you had better 90 home
and ask your mother" suggested the
conductor.
And she did. She was loaded with
pretty things by interested fellow-pas-
sengers, and returned to her mother in
safety; We may reasonably expect
that she will be among the first visit
ors when the Worlds Fair opens it's
doors to the world.

THOSE looking after freight rates are
aware that the cost OF transportation
is not very much lower than it was a
few years ago. Farm products of all
kinds are carried at comparatively re-
duce1 rates, and just now grain is
transported from the West to the At
lantic seaboard at prices before I'M
known. The tendency OF the times is
plainly toward cheaper transportation
and there is little reason to doubt that
farmers win have less to complain OF
in the way OF exorbitant charges in
freight in the next few years than they
have had heretofore.

A RECENT writer who made person
al observations in France and Italy
draws the conclusion that there is no
longer any such commodity as pure
olive oil. Visiting all the oil-produo-
ing factories Of Italy, and applying
scientific tests, he discovered that
what was sold for olive oil and labeled
as such almost always contained an
admixture of cottonseed oil or other
authorizations. Arguments for the
proper labelling of food products. un-
der penalty of law, continue to multi
ply. The oil-producing countries Of
Europe are but a single instance OF
gross imposition upon the public. 1t
Is not contended that many of these
iood adulterations are anything but
beneficial from various standpoints
They are often cheaper than the pure
article, and hence more accessible IN
the poor. In these days OF chemical
discoveries the entire constituent parts
OF the various foods have their substi.
tutes. All are not equally good, but
I'll sre not bad.
