THE CONVERTED KING.

Once to q wicked king drew nigh,
On i'll intent mousing spy,
Who said, 81 know "a strange old man
Who calls you all that malice can
A cruel tyrant, fired by hate,
Who grin'is the poor and lleeds the state"
The king was vexed, and in reply
Declared the slanderer should die,
But when he came before the king
He answered ''Yes" to everything
The spy had charged. Look round, said he
"On ali your work Of misery.
No subject stirs his lips from fear,
Aad speaking truth has brought me here"
The king, on finding one so bold.
Confessed to all the truth he told
And promised straightway to amend
Ard 10 his subjects be friend,
Then gave 10 him who dared TO die
Honors for his fine bravery.

Ex- Congressman Ben Wood tells
characteristic anecdote of his first meet
ing with James Gordon Bennett, the
elder.
Mr.. Wood took an active part in local
politics before he was of age. One day
he was traduced, as he thought, by
newspaper reporter, and after the fash
ion Of those days sought personal salts
faction by giving the reporter physical
castigation. Mr.. Bennett in The Herald
took the matter up and roasted Mr..
Wood editorially. The next day the lat
ter went to the editorial office, firmly
resolved to beat Mr.. Bennett too. He
found the editor at his desk, and thrust
ing a copy of the morning paper under
his nose said:
II want to know who wrote that
article, sir. F"
Mr.. Bennett laid down his pen, and
looking up at him curiously and benig'
nantly asked:
Are you Ben Wood?"
"Yes, sir. That is my name.
"well, Wood, how old are you"
II am nearly &c"
Indeed, "rejoined MIR. Bennett, with
the broad Scotch accent. well, Mr..
Wood, don't you think it great thing

A Few Phrases With Which to Break Down
the Romany Reserve.
The gypsy is generally talkative when
Won have broken down the barriers OF
reserve. For the benefit of the novice l
will, however, remark that policemen
(prastramengros) and hedgehogs (hotch-
iwichis) are both good subjects for dis
cussion. The gypsy does not break the
law more often than his neighbors, but
a policeman, as the embodiment OF all
that is orderly and conventional, is an
tipathetic TO him. As for hedgehogs,
they are cooked and eaten by the Rom
any. who are wonderfully clever at
tracking and capturing these very shy
animals. The other day one of my gypsy
friends informed me that as cure for
deafness there was nothing to equal a
little melted hedgehog's fat applied to
the ear.
The following few words and phrases,
spelled as phoneticaliy as possible, may
be- useful to any one paying his first visit
to a Romany camp BY adroitly intro
ducing them into his conversation the
visitor may succeed in avoiding that ap-
pearance of inexperience and greenness
which might tempt his hosts to receive
him as an inquisitive GENTLE rather

Lastly, the Mckinley bill has been re-

is, and ought to be, d disappointment
to tariff reformers in many parts of its
schedules, and does not make such a re-
duction of taxes as the Democratic party
has promised to the people. The reasons
for this. and the parties responsible for
it. thanks to the Democratic press, are
well known to every reader in the United
States. And nothing is more creditable
to the party, or more assuring of contin-
ued progress, than its widespread and,
apparently, unanimous censure of those
who, by combination with the full Re-
publican vote of the Senate. thwarted
its efforts for a better tariff reform bill
Tt bill which passed. however, With all
of its defects and censurable features,
contains, even by the admission of its
se1 crest critics, a. most solid installment
of tariff reform, and will do much to-
wards Tightening taxation and securing
freer play and larger markets for Amer
lean industries. But its chief value and
Importance, after all, lie in the fact that
it marks a change in our tariff legislation
and starts us well on the way towards
genuine revenue taxes. Every law and

WATER AS A COSMETIC.

A pretty complexion is a boon to every
woman who is so fortunate to have 1T,
for it not only adds to the beauty, but
it testifies to the good health of its pos
SCISSOR.
good as it should be, improved by care of
the diet, by the proper use of the bath,
and by avoiding whatever makes one
ill, or even dull and apathetie:
One of the most vexing OF the enc
mics of a good complexion are black
heads, or flesh worms, which are very
liable degenerate into ugly looking
white pimpIes, by no means en-
dowed with life of their own, although
this is the general belief concerning
them They are simply the result of
uncleanliness, for the oily matter ex-
uded by the pores forms these black
specks which dishonor the prettiest
cumulated dirt. When blacklneads have
once been permitted to form it is quite
difficult matter to get rid of them.
Many applications are recommended
for the purpose; for instance, bicarbon-
ate of soda dissolved In hot water, bo-
rax water, white of egg applied to the
skin on retiring to bed, pure alcohol
tissues, all these substances are only
successful for brief period, and when
too often repeated are worse than the
evil they are supposed to cure.
The only way of getting permanently
rid of blackheads is to thoroughly
wash, night and morning, with water
as warm as can be borne, and then
in tepid nlilk by the aid of a soft and
very fine sponge. Continue this for
month, and you will find that your skin
has become pure and sweet as a 'baby's.
