young man thought it would be mean
to say much about the matter of salary
It is true, however, that, during
the first months of this arrange
ment, Billy was frequently on the
point of trying to pawn his front
teeth which were filled with gold.
Often in the hot summer, Billy's en-
! ployer, Mr.. Trapp, spoke of his fine
suburban residence, and expressed in
advance the great pleasure he would
feel in having Billy for his guest there.
| The GOODNESS with which he said this
without actually rendering an invita-
tion wasso refreshing that Billy did not
perspire at all during the month Of
August. But on the day before
Thanksgiving Mr.. Trapp proved that
he had not been merely blufing.
You must eat your Thanksgiving
dinner at my place, Billy" said he.
Now the word dinner with Billy did
not need any qualifying term. 1t
carried its own idea of thanl,fulness.
At the sound of it Billy stopped chew
ing blue blotting paper-which of late
he had found to be quite palatable-
and looked up into his employers
genial countenance inquiringly. "It
would be just like M2. Trapp,'' he re-
tiected, ''to say thing of that kind
and then explain that he meant
Thanksgiving of the following year"
"Er-er-to-morrow?" stammered Billy
'sWhy of course" cried Mr.. Trapp
with a merry laugh. and he slapped
Billy on the back, producing thus re-
markable, sad, hollow sound.
You must come out with ne to-

II shall be delighted" said Billy,
"but-"
He glanced down along his faded at
tire and blushed
''Oh, you can go home to dress at six

back here. We shall have a little
work to do this evening, and then we

silver Formation.

The process by which nature forms
the accumulations of silver is very
interesting. 1t must be remembered
that the carth's crust is full of water,
which percolates everywhere through
the rocks. making solutions of ele-
ments obtained from them. These
chemical solutions take up small
particles of the precious metal which
they find scattered here and there.
Sometime, the solutions in question
are hot, the water having gone so
far down as to he set a-boiling by
the int ,rnal heat of the globe. Then
they rush upward. picking up the
bits of metal "a they go. Natur-
ally, heat assists the performance of.
this operation. Now and then the
streams thus formed, perpctually
flowing hither and thither below
ground, pass through the cracks or
cavities in the rocks, where thcy de-
posit their load Of silver. This is
kept up for a great length Of time,
perhaps thousands Of years, until the
tissures of the pocket are filed up.

in every direction may become filled

chamber may be stored full of it, as

Valuable Find of a Diver.

a very important archaeological
find was made not long ago in the
harbor OF Salonichc by a diver in
search of sponges. When the diver
came up from the bottom of the sea
he displayed a handful, not of
spongcs, but of silver coins of a very
antique date. He turned c the
coins to the proprietor of the boat,
who ordered him back to find some
more coins. He went down to the
bottom of the sea several times in.
succession. Finally he found, at a
depth of about 100 feet, an iron box
which contained nearly eighteen
pounds of silver coin. The proprietor
of the boat made the seamen i'm his
employ promise to be silent. He
made them some presents in money,
and the find remained a secret for
nearly three months. Recently one
of the seamen, having Quarrelcd with
his master. betrayed the secret to the
Greek Government. and the latter
compelled him to produce the coins.
They date back to the days of
ancient Macedonia, and are in an en-
cellent state of preservation, show
ing the bust of Alexander the Great,
holding in one hand the scepter and
in the other a bird, seemingly a
falcon. The coins have been turned
over to the museum at Athens.

Rcpuid with I,fcr,st.

Dignity is associated with honest
poverty as often, beyond a doubt, as
it is with wealth; and it is not al
ways safe or wise for those who are
better-to-dO to atfront the se%lf-respect
of the poor. A story is told of the
youth Of Il woman who died in old
age in Paris lately which illustrates
this fact. When she was a poor girl,
working for her living. she took her
dinner each day in a restaurant kept
by Il womannamed Clemcnce-a we'll
known place in Paris, where people
of limited incomes were in the habit,
of eating.
The young woman, whose name
was Theresa, received her salary
monthly, and it was so small that it
was often spent a day or two before
payday came around again. On such
occasions Madame C!emcnce gener.
ally gave Theresa credit until pay
day, although she regarded her with
suspicion. Theresa always paid her
debt whom she received her salary.
But one day toward the end of tho
month, when Theresa had been par
ticularly unfortunate in her affairs,
she presumed too far on Madame
Clemence's generosity. The CUSTOM
AIRY patrons of the restaurant had
gathered preparatory to the meal.
Theresa, who had eaten but a scrap
Of bread that day, was among them,
and very hungry. Madame Clemence
came up to her and said, roughly:
@What do you want here?:"
@My dinner" Theresa answered
meekly.

Gloriaed Bread Puddinc.

n glOrifed bread pudding that has
a right TO be exempt from the con-
tempt given most of its kind is made
from one pint of bread crumbs to a
quart of milk. Soak the crumbs in
one vessel, in another beat the yelks
of four eggs, adding gradually a cur.
full of white sugar and the grated
yellow rind of q lemon. Stir the
bread and milk into this mixture and
beat until smooth and light. Bake
in a moderate wen and spread over
the top a meringue made from the
beaten whites Of two eggs and four
ounces OF sugar. A bit of currant
jelly served with this pudding adds to
ITS flavor and appearance. Cake
crumbs may be used in the same way,
using less sugar and eggs, but IL bet
ter way to s them is in a fruit pud-
ding. One of the best of these is
made with figs. Sort and chop half
a pound OF them very fine, and mix
with them two medium tablespoon
fuls of butter, %two-thirds of a cupful
of graduated sugar, and two we'll.
beaten eggs. Add a cupful of sweet
milk and o%ne-quarter of a cupful of
cake crumbs; mix thoroughly and
boil in a pudding mold three hours,
Serve with a wine or lemon sauce
