The Novel and Profitable Investment of q
Firm of Bankers.
A well-known firm of bankers in
London have just made profitable.in-
vestment. According to the London
Telegraph some time ago man who
had defrauded them ofa large sum of
money was taken into custody, convict
ed and sentenced to a long term of
penal servitude. Prison fare did not
agree with one who had lived on the
fat of the land. The change affected
him in many ways, but he complained
more particularly of the injury the
food caused to his teeth. They were
peither numerous nor in good condi.
tion when he was sentenced, and, as
they rapidly became worse, he applied
to the governor of the prison for new
set. Being told that the government
did not supply prisoners with artificial
teeth, at the first opportunity he wrote
o the banking firm in question, offer
ing if they would send him new set
to tell them something to their ad
vantage. Thereupon the bankers,
thinkingsthe offer might be genuine
one, sent the governor of the prison
check for five pounds and asked him to
provide the convic. With a set of arti-
fetal teeth. In due course the convict
kept his promise and sent the bankers
certain information by means of which
they were enabled to recover no less
than fifteen hundred pounds of which
they had been defrauded.

RESIDENCE OF MRS. CHYNowETH.
are no charges for assistance or advice. In
her business transactions she is said to be
very shrewd, though just and fair, and she
is always successful.
Neither does she seem to wish for fame
Or notoriety. She speaks of what she does
with modesty, and over and over again she
has said, in public and in private: "Of
myself l can do nothing 1t is not /, it is
the power that comes to me, that does these
things"
All her words and her actions seem to
prove that she is moved solely by the de-
sire to do all the good that she can, and
that she wishes to give freely of herself and
her wealth to reach that end. But it is
equally evident that that end must be as
she sees it, and the way thereto such as she
thinks best. Nothing else enljsts her SYM
pathies or her dollars.

AGE AND MARRIAGE.
The Girl Of To-Day Does Not Wed Until She
Is Nearer IS Than IL.


Is Nearer IS Than IL.
The observant mortal must certainly
have noticed among other things tina,
the marrying woman of to-day defers
her wedding until a much more ad
vanced season in life than did her
grandmother, or even the girls of de-
cade ago The question arises, what
is the cause of this putting off of
that time so many declare is the end OF
all women's existence?
Perhaps mothers are more sensible
in these days and the young daughter
is not thrown upon the world, either
in a social or more workaday fash
ion, until she has had thor
ough schooling, which means, in
these days of long terms, a
communion with books until she
is over twenty-one. The girl herself
may be wiser in her day and genera
ton and realize that gayeties and the
happy-go-lucky existence before mar
riage must of necessity come to an
end when she is led to the altar.
Then. again, this is an age of indie
pendent women. They enter the field
of la Dor with men and find in such oc-
cupatiOn less time for sentiment than
was allowed the lackadaisical girl OF
the past. 1t is out earnest conviction
that many girls have been led into tho
error of foolish marriage through q
lack of occupation. Busy, active, in
telligent women have no time and less
inclination for the making of ro-
mances. They are absorbed in art, in
music or in more humdrum occupa-
tions that return an excellent re-
munera lion and which they are too
wise to give up until they are certain
that the man who asks them is able to
compensate for all that they put away
Tor his sake.
Many a woman defers marriage be-
cause she feels that her duty lies at
home in the care Of an aged father or
an invalid mother or helpless brothers
and sisters who depend upon her alone
for support. Perhaps someone argues
that all this tends to the esta ablishment
of vast spinsterhood. but let US whis-
per that after all when the right man
comes along, when real love creeps into
the heart and willy Cupid makes his
presence felt. then it matters not what
specious argument may have been ad-
vanced heretofore: engagement and
marriage appear to be the truest art
and the noblest duty; for after all we
are but women, and are governed more
by the heart than by the brain, inde-
pendent and sslf-reliant though we
think ourselves. s.-Philadelphia Times.

Turquoise Aiming In New NJ xice.

SANTA FE, Jan. 30-Fashion controls the
market for certain kinds of jewelry as it
does for certain textile fabrics 1t is re-
corded that Montezuma gave Cortez four
turquoises that were valued at $50, 600 each.
For good many years the turquoise held q
prominent place in the list of valuable
stones and up to so years ago was highly
appreciated when wrought into pieces OF
jewelry. Then the public preference shifted
to the garnet, the amber and the pearl. and
turquoise ornaments were quoted away
down."
Now the beautiful sky blue stone is com
ing into favor again, and it is perhaps .
strange coincidence that just as the demand
for turquoise is increasing new and yalu-
able deposits of the stone have been discov-
cred
Formerly the most valuable turquoise
found in America came from Los Cerrillos,
an old town near Sante Fe. The mines
there have been worked for more than two
centuries.
Recently new discoveries have been made
In the Burro mountains, in the southwest
corner Of New Mexico Excavations have
been found that it is supposed were made
by ancients, for among the debris around
the excavations pieces of broken pottery OF
unique pattern were discovered.
The rock exposed by the excavation has

In mining turquoise the method pursued
BY the Indians is very simple They heat

Bohemian's Offer In Regard to the

A little missionary church was being

Missionary, and Mr.. Plumb, one of the

blacksmith was Bohemian who could
not speak a word of English, and
another old Bohemian, Pete by name,
was called in as interpreter.
