two weeks a ago one night well-dressed

money line than a 500 bill. This the
farmer could not change. The stranger
said when she got to New York where she
claimed TO reside she would ssend him q

the Yardley station, asked for a ticket to
New York and placed 81, 900 bill before tie

She visited well-known farmer and said
she was looking for a country seat. His
farm suited her exactly, and she told him 20

WINDSOR CASTLE.
Vast Fortunes Lavished Upon Sevres

From the CHICAGO Tribune

Vast Fortunes Lavished Upon Sevres
Ware, Tapestries and Brocades.
IRON the Chicago Tribune.
The state dining room at Windsor castle
is fine apartment in the Prince Of Wales
tower 1t was redecoTated shortly before
the jubilee in gold and white after very
tasteful design chosen by eRriuoess Beatrice.
The furniture is of gothic pattern and said
TO have been designed by Welby Pugin.
The doors are ornamented with exquisite
Chippendale work, says an exchange.
In the center of the north window, which
looks out on the north terrace, the home
park and Elton College, is displayed mas
sive gold punch bowl, which was designed
by Flaxman for the prince regent. The
ladle, which is very fine piece Of work, is
made in the form Of trochus shell. The
whole cost $65.000.
This room was destroyed by fire in 1858
| and again by water in 1891. II is only used
on grand occasions when the queens party
10 over sixteen. When it is under that
number the queen prefers to dine in the oak
room.
TIE three drawing rooms are connected
with tho dining room, with the corridor
and with each other by folding doors, and
oil the doors are decorated with,th same
unique Chippendale work. The three
drawing rooms face the east and look down
on the splendid east terrace and gardens
over the broad expanse of the homo park
toward Datohet, Old Windsor.
The crimson drawing room Is next to the
| dining room. IL is decorated and uphol,
stored in crimson satin brocado, which, to-
gether with the richness of the embellish-
meats and the wealth of gliding with which
it is adorned, gives the room a very gor-
geons appeaTa@ce.
Superb carvings, the fineIt ormolu work
and the most exQuisitely inlsid cabinets line
the walls and, conspicuously placed in one
of the windows, is large melachite vase
which, like the one IN the grand reception
room, was given TO the queen by Gar Mich
olas of Russia
The crimson drawing room opens into the
green, similarly decorated and furnished in
richest satin brocade but the prevailing
color IS green.
The principal feature OF this room is the
magnificent collection of Eevres china,
which is said to be the finest tn the world.
This 10 another product of the extravaganza
tastes Of George w., and the sight Of the
innumerablelo lovely pieces, delioately nodded
and colored, Is enough to make a collector
mad with envy.
The white drawing room Is furnished in
crimson and gold damask, with white walls
decorated N an essentially French style.
Tbs walls Of this room are hung With num-
erous portraits of the royal family, while a
number of eKQuisitely worked cabinets and
a table beautifully inlaid with Florentine
mosaic in the form of flowers and fruit are
among the principal ornaments. 1t is in
the white drawing room that the queen

MAGU1REs HEAD swELLED.

Stuck Between Jail Bars and Only
Relieved After Being Amounted.
Tom Mcguire is a young man occupying a
cell in the county jail, San Francisco, for
having committed a petty theft recently,
He is a youth OF ideas and resources and
hardly had the cell door closed behind him
before he was thinking out means of reliey-
ing his sojourn Of monotOny. Each OF the
doors Of the several cells at the jail has a
rectangular hole in it few inches across
and ten OF twelve inches in hight These
holes we're intended to admit air and also to
afford the jailers an opportunity OF
keeping their eyes on the prisoners. But Ma
guire devised another use for the hole in his
door. He found the air in the cell alto
gether too oppressive. and the scenery alto
gether too tame, and knowing full we'll that
his head was narrow he concluded that he
would poke it through the opening. He got
it through all right and the experience
proved decidedly agreeable. Mcguire was
the hero of the hour. The whole corridor
that Maguires head bobbed in and ont
with remarkable ease aud frequency and If
anybody saw a shock Of hair disappearing
through the wicket no alarm was felt He
knew it was Maguire's head.
But the other day something happened.

hand in the conflict. They pushed and
pressed and pressed and pushed, until Ma
guire was nearly wild, but the head still
stuck to the corridor. Finally some
body suggested that the battle might
be won by shaving the head of
its mass of hair. It was done, and done
thoroughly at that. But even that was not
effectual. Maguire's poll still refused to re-
turn to captivity. A more heroic move was
next proposed. Some one thought a little
axle grease might be the thing. 1t was
tried, buo in vain. Then castor oil was
poured over the obstinate member and after
that food of linseed oil was turned loose
and finally a pint Of sperm oil was rubbed
in. The oil did the business The swelling
commenced to subside, aud by the time the
lost Of q can Of bears grease had been spread
upon Maguire's shining pate the conflict had
been won. The head sneaked back into the
cell. 10 was great day for Mcguire and
the oil trade.

When Sc Kept Cool Smith Could Beat
Stop Watch Timing Races.
From the Nete YORK Herald.

From the NeB York HeTdld.
To measure time TO the second in periods
OF minute, that is with an accuracy of at
least 9S.3 per cent. would be regarded by
most persons as a remarkable, though not,
perhaps, a particularly valuable accom-
plishmeut have a friend, however, who
beats this. He is a veritable human ohro-
nometer. He can time q sprint race more
accurately than a majority of the stop
watches used for that purpose, aud is a
great deal more reliable than a majority Of
the men who Officiate as timers at foot
races, even when they hold good watches.
Smith, which by the way isn't his name,
can call the turn" Of the watch to che
fitth part of a second.
Smith owns an deliberately constructed
split second watch of Swiss manufacture
which was presented to him by the athletic
club 10 which he belongs for winning more
prizes IN year than any other athlete in
che club. To test the watch Smith used to
time all SORTS OF things until timing became
habit with him. In his leisure moments
he would tick of the seconds mentally as be
watched the long timing hand move over
the NTH second divisions on the dial Of his
watch. After awhile he found he could

When Smith competed In a race he could
tell the official timers just how fast he had
run. OF course Smiths accomp llshment
was Of great service to him both in training
and in racing in enabling him to Judge his
pace.
1t is we'll known fact that the time re-
corded by the watchers at a foot race as
we'll as the more careful observations of
astronomers vary usually a fraction of a
second. Sometimes this is due 10 the con-
stTuction of the watch, but often TO the per
soDal equation of the timer or observer

result and the true depending on the per-
sonRl qualities OF peculiariues. Thus the

said that If he were to run for record he
would select the fast" timekeeper.

When Smith timed a race without a
watch, however. this personal equation was
eliminated. Timekeepers see the flash of
| the pistol that starts the race and the
breaking OF the tape that ends it insten-
taneously. Il is in transferring these i'm
pressions from the mind to the watch
through the comparatively slow medium OF
nerve and muscle that mistakes creep in -.

q signal from Smith, unless Smith heard the
snap of the spring that set the mechanism
working, he could not tell exactly how
much time had elapsed when the watch was
stopped. The variation between the time
