FAILURE OF A SCHEME.
What Philadelphia Girl Lost Through
 Her Lovers ssapiieity.

What a Philadelphia Girl Lost Throu xh Her Lovers ssapiieity. An extensive dealer in. holiday goods whose bargains daily attract crowds on Chestnut street for some time exhibited prominently in his show window a pair of handsome bracelets bearing an attractive price mark The bracelets were of an odd design and would have received due notice without the placard stating their value. but the peculiar romance connected with them has hitherto been a guarded secret between three men
 Some weeks ago, when they were lying in case in the store, their un- usual pattern caught the fancy of young man of taste, but of limited means, who had entered to purchase present for his up town girl In- quiring their cost, he was surprised and delighted to find that 1t had been fixed by the enterprising proprietor at 8 most reasonable figure.
 Not contented with an immediate purchase. the gentleman, aided and abetted by an employee of the jewel " department entered into a ques- tonable scheme to deceive the up town girl
 The next day the bracelets appeared in the window. prominently marked to sell at ten times the price offered inside, and for two weeks they staid there. Half the girls in town saw and admired them, and as the design ing young man had expected, his girl shared in this general praise.
 A few days ago he concluded that their value had been suitably i'm pressed upon her and he walked into the store to make his purchase.
 'T'l take those bracelets now, if you please" he said to the affable clerk. T think you said they were s1.9s."
 That was the figure" said the clerk, with significant empaasis on the second word.
 Was the figure. echoed the young l man Isn't that the figure nowf"
 No"
 Tt isn'ti Why notf" he demanded.
 Because wealthy lady purchased | them this afternoon at the price | marked in the window. She said"-
 What she said will never be known. for the designing young man was staring hard at him, with no signs of experiencing the words he spoke.
 'C-can l duplicate themf" he asked in a broken voice.
 No. said the salesman cheerful ly. They were an odd pair sent to us by mistake. Is there anything else you would like today7"
 The young man slowly shook his head, and when the clerk returned i from waiting on another customer the victim of too heroic assurance was drifting toward the door.-Phila- lelphia Times

Tn. Episcopal Concert.

The concert given last evening for the benefit of the Episcopal church was an unqualified success, and the ladies who took such an active interest in getting it up have every reason to feel highly gra,ified over the results. The musical pro gramme WIS judiciously selected and we'll executed by those participating in it. Mrs. F. W. French sang a solo. in which she excelled any pre- vlous effort, her voice always sweet and we'll trained, appearing to bet ter advantage than ever before. She received hearty encore from the audience. \ duet by Mrs. Cline and Mrs. Freeze also received an encore. as did also duet by Miss Wells and Dr. Waite. Mesdames Freeze, Swan and Culver elicited the ap- plause of the audience by their rem dering of beautiful trio, and Mrs. C. Fl. Akers acquitted herself admir- ably in piano solo. While all the home talent acquitted themselves admirably, and in such manner as to elicit the applause of the audi ence it, cannot be considered any re- fection on them in the least to say that the event of the evening was the singing of Mrs. c. H. Grouse, nee Miss Jessie Stevens, Prescott's former favorite, and as was demonstrated by the audience last evening, a favorite still. She sang three pieces each of which was encored. While her voice, when she formerly resided here, was considered perfect, both in tone and expression, during the years she has heen absent it shows remarkable improvement, particu- larly in its middle register. We have not words at command to properly express the appreciation felt, but if there is any such thing as a human, who can sing divinely, Mrs. Grouse more nearly approach as the divine in music than any thing the writer ever heard. The audience during her singing was speu bound, a breathless silence prevailing.
 At the close of the concert, re- fresemhnts, consisting of sandwiches and coffee and ice cream and cake, were served, while the beautiful handiwork of the members of the Ladies Guild and that of the Busy Bees were exposed for sale, while the ladies and gentlemen present engaged in pleasant social conversation. The evening was pleasantly spent and the Ladies Guild of the church un- der whose auspices the fete was held, realized over 300 from the evenings entertainment.

French silk.

The total production of manufac- tured silk in the world per annum is estimated at a value of f64, OOO, 600 and of this at least f25, 900, 900 Is pro duced in France. The French con- sumption of raw silk in 1890 was not much under l0,O00, 600 pounds, the value of which is reckoned at from s10. .000. 900 to f12, 900, 900. Taking in the vane of wool, cotton and other fiber in mixed fabrics of the silk fac tories, the total will amount to about ZIG, ,000, 900.
 The great importance of this indus try to the wealth and power of France is evident. About one-eighth of the raw silk is native grown, the remainder imported from Italy and from the east Much of the amount of home grown silk depends on the healthiness of the mulberry forests. One year when disease attacked the trees the silk product fell to below $50, 900 pounds. .-Leisure Hour.

A Monopoly of Funerals.

One great company has monopoly of Paris funerals, the idea that has led to its establishment being that enough money might be made out of the costly funerals to permit of a great many for little or nothing. The funerals are divided into ten classes The first six only are remunerative. They vary from 5000 francs to 100,- 900 francs. The eighth class costs twenty-two francs; the ninth, eight francs, and the ten'h is free. There are about 35, annual free inter ments. There is talk, however, of abolishing the monopoly.-Chicago Herald.
