Unnecessary Expense.

Among the many stories told of Nan
tucket by old residents and frequent
visitors is one that, while it seems al
most improbable, is nevertheless
vouched for by unimpeachable authori-
ties.
Some years ago man in Nantucket
was tried for petty larceny, and SEN
fenced by the judge to three months in
Jail. A few days after the trial the
judge, accompanied by the sheriff, was
on his way to the Boston boat, when
they passed a man who was busily saw
ing wood.
The sawyer stopped his work, touched
his hat politely, and said: Good morn
ing, judge"
The judge looked at him earnestly a
moment, passed on a little way, and
then turned to glance backward, say
ing to the sheriff:
why, isn't that the man l sentenced
to three months in Jail the other day?"
Yes" replied the sheriff, with some
hesitation; Eyes, that is the man. But
you-why, you see, judge-we-wed don't
happen to have anybody else in jail just
now, and we thought 'twould be sort
of useless expense for us to hire some
body TO keep the Jail for three months
just for this one man, so l gave him the
Jail key, and told him if he'd sleep there
nights | guessed it would be all right. :"

Value of Six Pictures.

In 1883 Charles Smith died in Eng
land, leaving six pictures, two by Rey-
nolds. three by Gainesboro, and anoth-
er by Hoare. A professional valuer
valued them at 81, 100, and the revenue
authorities and executors were content
The business was finished so far as the
executors were concerned, in 1885. In
1855 the tenants for life in possession of
the pictures obtained from the court
permission to sell them. Two sold for
$40. 900 and the rest for ga, 500. The
revenue authorities, hearing of this, in
stituted proceedings to obtain payment
of further probate duties, but We're
beaten.-Chicago Times.

waseven scratched from an encounter

acter beyond cavil
FITS pleasant when the gay procession
OF the merrymakers' carriages goes
rolling out in the morning between
wild rose hedges and under broad oaks
and lindens, with the blackbirds chat
teriug and the orioles trilling on one
side, and the gulls screaming as they
wheel over the reefs at the edge of the
surf on theother.
It's pleasant when the picnic shelters
are pitched on cliff top crowned with
trees and looking down upon the sum-
mer sea; the broad striped awning, blue
and white and crimson, and the hooked
beach chairs and the swinging ham
mocl1s give you the very essence, the
lazy, laughter loving spirit of July.
There are men at Newport, and that's
what causes the picnic to make itself
picturesque though by SO doing it be-
comes less rural Where else in these
United States would picnic girl wear
the costume in which plump blonde
stood yesterday afternoon, looking off
seaward and watching the steamer
from Scituate Point, as it came leisure
ly on, lifting and ducking to the ocean
swell:
Her freck was gray-a gray ging-
ham, I imagine, with a cape-like
nounce of ecru lace about the shoulders,
black ribbon belt at the waist and
three-inch wide black ribbon ruffies at
the hem Under the black hem peeped
snow white low shoes, laced with black
ribbons. Her little black Leghorn hat
was trimmed with gray streamers and
clusters of dropping white locust blooms
Are not white shoes an eccentricity?
AT picnic you might think SO, but
there's breeze on Newport cliffs; shoes
therefore are objects of solicitous con-
sideration. There is usually a reason
for things, The young woman's para
sol, by the way, was of gray silk with a
deep double hounce of black chiffon and
white ivory handle.
At Newport picnic you get out of
door life and dress at its brightest and
pretiest. Here is a pink batiste frock
with a narrow black velvet belt and
broad pink and black ribbon caught
about the hem and tied in places in
double bow; there is a grayish blue
linen with white ribbon shoulder knots
futlering about it, white girdle and
long white ends to the Vatican bow
between the shoulder blades.

per. and we could give her no name be-
cause she was stone deaf-all white
Angora cats are-and to add to this
ones peculiarities she had one blue
eye and one yellow. Mamma did not
like her color, however. She said that
anyone could have a white Angora cat,
and that she wanted something differ
ent from anyone else, so she had the
butler dye pussy blue. The first time
the dye came out bright purple and
"Lal" and the guinea pigs and an owl
we Just got were so frightened that they
would run and hide when they saw the
strange creature coming, but by de-
grees they got accustomed to it. We
had to dye pussy once a week, because
every time we gave her bath she
would try to lick the dye off. When dye
day came and she saw the butler pre-
pairing her bath she would set up a
squalling and Screaming that sounded
all over the house and lasted until the
bath was over. But she had to have a
bath anyway to kill the fleas and don't
think she minded the dye as much as
the water.
The happiest day in our menagerie
was when pussy had three kittens, per
feet little beauties, all snow white, with
different colored eyes and stone deaf.
Every morning pussy would be gone
about an hour, and when she came back
she would bring in her mouth a young
chicken. We tried 10 break her of the
habit, and lived in mortal dread that
the neighbors would accuse US of beng
chicken thieves, but nothing would do
any good until one day ''Lal" took
things IN hand She had had litter of
pups, but mamma made me give them
all away. On the day that | sent the
last one away ''Lal' looked all over the
house for it and happened to get back
to the kitchen just when pussy was out
after her morning chicken The three
little kittens lay in their box comfort
ably sleeping until "Lal" gave q howl
