The popular idea that water is purified

THAT adroit young scoundrel, Thomas

New Castle to day, who came here
advertising for young girls for the stage,
meets a richly deserved punishment. He
not only stole money aud jewelry
from the girls, but he seduced them.
While it is probably impossible to pro

them from incurring risks to which
their own folly drives them, it is not

shakespeare Beer jug and Other Curios


Ask almost any three men what they
thought Of the sale Of Shakespearc's beer
Jug for $50, and they would give three
different replies, each depending ultimate
" on radical difference Of imagination.
The first would say that the purchase was
a pure absurdity; the second would aIlege
that he had better associations with Shake
speare that d beer jug could convey, and
the third would admit that, although lac
thought the price little exaggerated, he
could see, or rather feel, the motive for the
competition. There is, Of course, u passion
for curios, but IL does not cover the whole
ground Some sort of imagination must
be stirred by many relics which seem to
the reflective to suggest hothing relics
like the taper stand used by Marie Antci-
nette when she wrote her letters, or the
bootiack with which Frederick the Great
extricated himself from his boots.
There must be IN the concrete irnagina-
ton depths which 1t is difficult to follow, "A
power In some men Of dreaming because
their heads are on particular pillow. The
really contemplate passion is the craze TO
possess u relic of one in whom the collector
has no manner Of interest except this-that
us the man whose relic" is acquired inter
ests others some share of the feeling it in
spires will be carried TO the credit of its
purchasers account 1t is reasonable to
