slightest hesitation, stalked across
the room with military precision and
in the most natural and matter-of-
fact kissed her! Of course,
she was furiously angry, and she was
not at all appeased when she was told
that it was well-known German
custom, and that she had brought it
upon herself by putting on Graf

have forgiven him the next evening,
moreover, for they danced the "cotil-
lion" together at the court ball; and

who were having afternoon tea at a
friends house, with: "Only fancy!
What fun! / have just heard Graf

to the picture gallery this afternoon,
and seeing a friend, left them for a
few minutes in the little room where
the Sistine Madonna is; and when I
returned was startled by hearing
Count s. saying in his wonder
fully funny English: I have lofed
since the first eyewink' (augenblick).
I nearly screamed with laughter, but
as they had not seen me I beat hur-
ried retreat and left them there, and
here I am"
OF course the company were greatly
edited, and when Edith herself
sauntered in an hour later to find her
friend she was surprised at their
hilarity, and it was many months
after she had been married into the
same regiment as Madame R,
that the latter lady ventured to tell
her how she had inadvertently over

A Modern Miracle.

If the man who makes two blades OF
grass grow where only one grew before
is entitled to be called a public bene-
factor, certainly the man who turns
an odious stencil into pleasing fra
GRANGE has claim for credit not to
be ignored. The days of necromancy
are not past; they are only beginning,
and in a dingy red brick house on the
East Side of this city a striking exam
pie of this fact may be seen at any
time.
There is probably no person who
regards rancid butter as anything but
a highly offensive substance, and
there are few, outside the uninitiated,
who can think Of any better use to be
made of it than to throw it into the
ash barrel. The initiated know bet
ter. There are few housewives and
cooks who, when they flavor their
custards, pies, cakes, ETC., with deli
cious essence of pineappe, do not
imagine that tons of that luscious
tropical fruit are daily gathered by
dusky natives from waving palms and
amid scenes of harvest revelry, and
then squeezed of their fragrant juice
for the special benefit of the Ameri-
can palate. But the trade" knows
that the pineapple oil of commerce is
really butyric ether.
Now, there is no cause for alarm to
the reader who first becomes aware
of that fact by reading this article.
Butyric ether is charmingly fra
grant, innocuous and delightful sub
stance, and if the genuine pineapple
itself were not pretty full of it, that
much-priZed fruit would command no
better price than turnips; perhaps
not as good. The only startling
feature is the fact that butyric ether,
which tastes and smells 50 good in
custard or soda water, is produced
from the most horribly rancid butter.
Turning pure water into new wine
seems simple alongside this modern
miracle.
The miracle worker takes his rancid
butter and mixes it into soapy
lather with potash and sulphuric
acid at first. This results in thin.
oily LIQUID which has even more
persistently rancid odor than the but
ter had at first. 1t is then called
butyric acid. Being distilled with
alcohol and more sulphuric acid, the
marvellous result is fragrant and
altogether delightful substance

PERHAPS the most profitable bust
ness in this country is that done by
the Government minis in the coinage
Of silver and minor coins. During
the past fourteen years the Govern
ment has coined 416, 412, 1913 silver
dollars. The quantity of silver con-
tanned in each cost from IS to 90
cents during the period, and was in
effect sold for 100 cents. On subsidiary

to 1892 amounts to $72, 1856, O65. IS.
pieces the rate of profit is even
greater. A pound of bronze, which
costs less than 20 cents, is worth

A pound of nickel, costing less than
32 cents, is coined into a value of
81. SO in scent nickels. For the
fiscal year 1891 and 1892 there were
coined Of the former 81, 12S, 295. 80 at
d profit of 1914, 1877 5, and of the
latter 1886, 217.65, at profit of

although the profits of the minis
were greatly reduced owing to the
reduction in the coinage of silver

Snakes in India.

A contemporary remarks that, in
spite of the large sums paid every
year in India as rewards for the de-
struction Of poisonous reptiles, the
latter seem to be as numerous as
ever, no less than 500 persons having
been killed in the Punjaub last year
by snake bites. Our contemporary
suggests that the prevalence of
snakes may be attributed partly to
the Mussulman prejudice against
swine and to the British love of pig
sticking. Snakes and hogs cannot
live together, and in the struggle
for existence, it is the hogs that sur
yive On the whole, we should be
more inclined to attribute the snakes
to the high rewards that are offered for
their destruction. The willy native
is quite capable of keeping preserves
of them, and thus earning dishon-
est and rather risky livelihood.

The Sad Story of Elder ,yones.

There never was better man
han Elder Simon Jones.
He reeked with goodness. even to
The marrow in his bones:
And he'd have been beatitied
Long years ago, l know,
But for his fatal tendency
TO say: II told you So
No matter what might come to pass,
No shadow of surprise
Was ever seen by anyone
In Elder JoneS's eyes.
He'd simply listen to the tale
Of gladnesS or of woe,
And when it all was finished he'd
Remark: II told you So"
A more exasperating man.
The neighbors all agreed,
They never knew, however good
He was in word and deed;
For when the most unlocked for things
Had set them in a glow,
The stolid Jones would only nod
And say: II told you 3d."
Well, finally, the elder died,
AS even good men must.
His mortal frame was laid away
To mingle with the dust.
But when his soul to judgment came.
It's course was turned below.
And all the angels shook their heads
And sighed: II told you so.'

In active business life, the world

downs with calmness. The rich man
of to-day may be the poor man of to-

A f1nancier of Paris, who had been
at the "top of the heap" saw his
wealth swept away. His friends came
in to condole with him. They found
him cheerful.
