Some years ago an English manufac-
turer Of carmine who was aware Of the
superiority Of the French color went 10
Lyons for the purpose Of improving his
process, and bargained with the most
celebrated manufactures in that city
for the acquisition Of his secret. for
which he Wa 20 pay s., 600.
He vas shown all Of the process, and
saw "a most beautiful color produced.
but ho found not the slightest differ
euce In the French mode Of fabrication
and that which had been constantly
adopted by himself. He infinitely ex-
amiucd the water and the materials,
which were in every respect similar TO
his own, and then, very much sur
pri-ed, said, Il have lost both my la
Dor and my money, for the air Of Eng
land does not permit us 10 make good
carmine.
stay said the Frenchmau, don't
deceive yourself; what kind Of weather
is il now
a bright. sunny day, replied the
Englishman.
And such are the days. said the
Frenchman. ION which | make my
color; wereI to attempt to manufacture
it on a dark and cloudy day my results
would be the same as yours. Let me
advise you, my friend, only TO make
your carmine On bright, sunny days"
The moral Of this will apply quite as
well to the making of many other colOrs
used in manufactures and also in the
fine arts, for it illustrates, in a practical
way, the chemical influence Of light
upon certain colOring compounds or
mixtures.-Dry Goods Chronicle.

can be bought. CG; low I;eniy OF
people who are able TO buy such chains
who think il is foolish to do so. In the
first place, watch chains are change
cble. They come and go like the sea
s5n5, and what you may wear today
will be thrown aside in a year. A
rolled gold chain will last a man as
long as he wants to wear one, and dur
ing that time it will wear better than il
it were solid gold.
of course, in rings, bracelets and
lockets the best thing is the solid gold.
In charms for ladies' chains there is the
same reason for buying rolled gold that
there is for buying the rolled gold chain.
A charm o goes out of fashion unless
the purchaser has the good sense IL buy
a cross for a charm. That is always
appropriate and always will be. IL is
the handsomest charm that a woman
can wear. OF course, the cross should
be solid gold. for a cross can always be
worn. Chicago Tribune.

His R.Kenge.

A tired man with a berth ticket
climbed YEARLY into a Pullman in tbs
Washington depot at 10 p. IN. The
train was scheduled to start in half an
hour.
Make up my berth right away,
porter, he said. for I'm dead tired. "
Then he went in the forward car to
smoke and chat with some friends
a while. One hour later he returned.
Every berth in the car but his own was
made up
''Whr:'s the matterr he asked test
ily.
''Ain't had time, boss. and then the
tired n hung around for another half
hour. He woke up in jersey City. His
shoes were polished. and after he had
washed he made the porter follow him
around with a wisp broom for twenty
minutes
give me a lift with my bag" he
said, and the porter s%houldered il and
carried il 100 yards TO the entrance to
the ferry.
''Thatu do now, " he said, as he took
his bag Then he dropped four cents
into the black palm, and when the
porter saw the pennies his eyes rolled
as if he was going to have a fit.
1t was a fine revenge. New York

He had read his papers and didn't
know what to do with himself. He
had been over the route so many
times the scenery and brazen signs
on the road did not interest him
but the pretty girl with a music roll
and natty travelling dress did. He
caught "A CLINT of her merry blue eyes
as she looked up at him once in indif-
ferent curiosity. and he had studied
the dainty coil of brown hair until he
had an impulse to run his pencil
through the seductive little curl that
stayed over the back Of the seat as
she snug-lel her head into "a comfort
able position 10 sleep, if she wished 10.
The owner of the curl. however. was
apparently oblivious of his presence.
Presently he took up his paper and

began the whistler, telling the cheerful

interested expression upon her

whistled the young man as he drew on
his overcoat, and striking into Fare
well, Forever, as he disappeared.
The train stopped; he passed the
window and caught a glimpse of a
bonny face radiant with smiles of ap-
preciative mischief. 1t was almost his

EVILS OF ExAeeERATloN.

It Is = Serious Fault That Many People
Have In Their Conversation.
One Of the common vices in ordinary
conversation, as well as in written
speech, is the habit Of making a reck-
lessly exaggerated statement Of facts or
circumstance. Its long utilization with
coarse and cheap humor has given it a
currency among US beyond its deserts
If any merit it really has. There is
so much to be said against it-as a stale
device Of provincial bufoonery or
parse waggery there is so little
to recommend it, except perhaps as a
wand in the hand of a genius like
Rabelais-one is inclined to wonder
that it has not been long ago banished
utterly. at the least from all well bred
intercourse.
First. t practice il without specific
design or as a vehicle for humor. usual
ly betrays a frivolous disposition, an
irregular Imaginable OF "A slovenly in
attention 70 import mt details. Next.
it indicates IN aim = reckless disregard
of moral accuracy md a carelessneSs Of
the effect Of lans Iage upon another,
which, TO say the ia>t, are by no means
respectful to OF ; auditors. Again,
although il may not even suggest the
notion Of a vii al perversion Of actual
fact OF any int II harmfully TO deceive
another, yet it nsensibly begets, when
accustomed T. hear this sort Of talk, a
habit of hearers Of paying but little
attention t. such a speakers state
ments.
1t associates all seriousness from
what be may say. and finally they re-
gard him as a common Laughter. whose
speech does not deserve ordinary no
tice. Moreover it produces a bewilder-
ing effect upon the general listener,
which is quite Incompatible either with
a serious interest in or a care { o re-
member what is thus said. and in the
end is likely to cheat the speaker Of
more than half his due because of his
common discredit as a narrator or re
porter.
Perhaps it is sO...~times not inexcus-
able in an earnest aIvocate or a real
humorist. whose reputation fo= good
sense is unclouded, who seeks TO pro-
duce an immediate effect. and is not
supposed to be limited by an obliga-
ton to speak with an impartial accu-
racy. Nevertheless its habitual use
tends in most cases to destroy the

Miss Leland was not averse 70 her
