The Guinea That Was Worn on a Duchess
Bracelet.

a long time ago, when Bristol was
growing rich with the profits of the
West India trade, of which it had almost
a monopoly a stranger took lodging
there, toward the close of the year, and
used to visit the coffee-room of that
famous old inn. "The Bush" He would
arrive about noon every day a1sd calling
for a six-penny glass of brandy-and-
water, sit over it until he had carefully
gone through the London paper of the
preceding evening.
The landlord of 'The Bush," seeing
how anxious he was to read the London
paper, made it understood that while he
had it Gin hand' no one else was to ex-
pect it. Rather ''seedy'' garments, a
lean body, confirmed stoop and lin
tied expenditure of daily six-pence,
with nothing for the waiter, clearly
showed the newspaper reader to be a
poor gentleman" and by that title he
was soon distinguished. On Christi
mas eve honest John Weeks, the land
lord, anxious that the decayed gentle
man should have one good meal at least
in s"The Bush,' delicately animated
to him that on the following day he kept
oDen table, to which he would be wei
come, free of cost.
Principally at one o'clock the next day
the stranger appeared at "lhe BUSH
in his usual seedy attire. He partook
of the good dinner with the apparent
relish of a man to whom such feast
is novelty and did due justice to the
"stunning ale" for which, far and near,
s'The Bush was famous. The dinner
was concluded. The decayed gentleman
remained the last and read the London
paper in the kitchen When he prepared
to leave, the landlord respectfully helped
him to put on his overcoat and at the
same time slipped guinea into his
hand. The poor gentleman pocketed the
coin with a smile and sigh
He came no more to "The Bush" But
shortly after "The Bush" itself was Rd-
yertised for sale, with all its valuable
good will and appurtenances, and poor

A MOSQUITO INvADEs ENGLAND.
New Jerseys Insects Revenge for Viola
ton OF Monroe Doctrine.

New Jerseys Insects Revenge for Viola
ton of Monroe Doctrine.
The narrowing news comes from Lon
don that mosquito has been taken
alive in Hertfordshire. A gentleman
living at Barley, Royston, writes to a
London paper that on recent evening
he encountered the ferocious beast In
his bedchanber.
An Englishman is always brave, and
it seems almost superfuSsus to add that
the man of Barley grappled with the
creature single-handed, nor stayed his
hand until it was under subsection. We
sometimes read of such feats of derring
doe even in these degenerated days.
Next to indicating his personal
bravery, an Englishman's first duty is
to write to his newspaper and tell about
it, To this admirable national trait
the readers of the Sunday Herald are in
debted for the particulars herein set
forth. The man of Barley had Travelled
in far countries. Among other places
he had visited the famous city of New
Jersey, and in the ransmississippian
capital had met and COPIED with the
mosquito in its lair.
Thus he is able to identify his quarry
and lay before the British public a
narrowing picture of the animals dis
tinguishing traits.
"The specimen caught" he writes,
.has every characteristic of the for
eign mosquito, especially the New
Jersey variety. believe they have
been brought to England with timber,
for in New Jersey the logs of timber,
which are usually carried down the
rivers, have ON them mosquito eggs
gathered from the surface of the wa
ter, where they breed, and SO in this
manner are transported to Europe,
where the sunshine matches them, and
they fly away"
1t now remains only to unite the
English people as one man against the
invader. Hence this suggestion:
"Let every person carefully examine
his bedroom window in the morning
and kill them, as by SO doing they would
be prevented laying their eggs and
breeding. Now is the time to act to
prevent them spreading. They may
easily be known by their resemblance
to gnats, but having long trunk or
proboscis, and by making a humming
noise when approaching the face OF
hands of a person"
Accompanying this slogan is a liza
gram Of what has been called the BUSH
ness end of the mosquito, which may
be used for further Identification of the
dreaded foe, should he be encountered

sarvinc Men Disappearing.

Parisians are giving up keeping uleh
servants. For the sake Of economy
male domestics are everywhere be ~
replaced by female. It was the clubs
that first set the example by disln iss'ng
their men cooks and engaging women
cordons bleus. Now the tendency is
gaining ground in all directions. Peo-
pie are banishing their buffers, keeping
parlor maids where they used to keep
footmen, and paying off their Wallets.
The last straw has come to break
the camel's back, The financial pro-
posals of the new government include a
tax on man servants. The cruelest cut
of all in the new law, lackeys are to be
scheduled along with carriage horses,
as if they were kind of cattle. The
domestic servants syndicate is agitat-
ing against the threatened legislation.

A cheerful Face.

Next to the sunlight of heaven is the
cheerful face. There is no mistaking
1.-THE bright eye, the unclouded brow,
the sunny smile, all tell of that which
dwells within. Who has not felt its cleo
trifying influence? One glance at that
face lifts us out of the mists and shad-
ows into the beautiful realms of hope.
One cheerful face in the household will
keep everything warm and light within.
II may be very plain face, but there is
something in it we feel, but cannot
express; and its CHEEKY smile sends
the blood dancing through the veins for
every Joy. There is world of blessed
magic in the plain, cheerful face, and
we would not exchange it for all the
soulless beauty that ever graced the
fairest form on earth.-Detroit Free

TO marry woman with six children.
VINO has only learned of the death of
her husband within the last four DAYS ?
Besides that, she cannot speak a word
OF English. She speaks German alto
gether.'
She has not much the better of nv
man, L replied. "He is a Frenchman
and can neither speak English nor Ger
man; but l guess if they get married
they soon will be able to understar Il
each other''
Custer went further into the partic-
ulars of my scheme. 1 told him who
the man was and my reasons for think
ing that he would be willing to marry
the German woman, children and all.
That afternoon Custer went on horse
back over to Jarvis ranch, laid the mat
ter before him, and to his surprise and
qualification Peter jumped at the
chance. "You go back to town and
make the arrangements" said Jarvis,
land I'll hitch up and drive over this
evening and have the job done at once"
"All right" said Custer, ''but don't
forget to put couple of extra seats in
the wagon for the young ones"
"How many did you say there were o.
asked Jarvis.
"Only six. Now, don't spend too
much time sprucing up, because I'll
have everything ready before you can
reach town if you go for the horses at
once
AS Custer left the farm the old man
shouted: "Good-by. You will have to
ride lively if you beat me to town. My
horses are not driven for a bride very
often, and they can stand it to get over
the ground at a rapid pace for once in
their lives"
Sure enough, Custer had hardly time
to break the news to the widow,
through an interpreter, before the
dashing Frenchman came tearing
through the streets like mad, and
refined his painting horses up in front
of Clusters store. Before leaving Seat
tie that day Custer had taken the pre-
caution to secure the necessary license.
with the understanding that it could
be returned if not used. A preacher
was called in, the bride and groom were
introduced, and made man and wife,
in almost the same breath, and half am
hour later Mr.. and Mrs. Jarvis and the
six little ones were comfortably seated
in the big lumber wagon, bound for
the Jarvis homestead on Cedar river, as
happy as CLAIMS at high tide.-SGattle

"Helena has a larger stock Of gov
ernors on hand than any capital city in
The United States that / can think of"
was the observation of Judge Gilbert
TO an acquaintance. Judge Gilbert
hadn't been in the city a great while
tefore he met one governor in the court
room.
"Judge Gilbert" said friend, ''per-
NIT me to introduce our friend, Gov.
Leslie"
Governor of Montana?" inquired
Judge Gilbert, with questioning ele-
walton of one eyebrow.
"Not now" said the friend, without
going further into details. 'And here"
lie added, turning to another of the in
terested spectators in the courtroom,
''is Gov. Toole"
Gle is the-governor?" saiGSJudge
Gilbert, but without emitting the ques-
ton point.
"Used to be-" answered the friend.
''T'his is Gov Carpenter, Judge Gilbert"
Gle
''Was," the other answered him, an
ticipating his query. "This is Gov. Bot
kim"
Judge Gilbert did not speak, but he
looked inquiringly around and some
one ventured to explain:
''Lieutenant governor, you see"
"Ah!" was the brief reply to that.
When the court adjourned Judge Gil
bert went to his hotel. On the way there
the party stopped at the First national
bank, where Gov. Hauser was intro
duced to him. In the afternoon they
dropped into le courthouse and visited
the state offices. There was another
experience of the same kind for Judge
Gilbert there.
''This is Gov. Tooker," said one of the
members, as they passed through the
office of the clerk and recorder.
And even then Judge Gilbert did not
meet the governor of the state, for that
official was out of the city on official
business at the capital of the nation.
81 met some very pleasant men dur
ing my stay there" he said, as he de-
parted the next afternoon, "and the i'm

some sherry, or, if you prefer it, table,
spoonful of orange extract. Freeze the
pudding and serve it on base of golden
orange jelly or with sweet preserved
oranges or ounces heaped over it. 1t
is also nice served on low crystal plat
ter with wreath of whipped cream,
tinted pink with preserved strawberry
or raspberry juice.
An especially ornamental way to
serve this pudding is in a coating Of
water ice. Apricots make one of the
most delicious ices for this purpose.
Slice 10 apricots, or use the same
amount of canned fruit. Add half
pound of sugar to the apricots and
squeeze in the juice of two lemons. Mix
them well. Strain the whole through
sieve. Add half pint of strip made
by boiling half a cup of sugar rapidly
for 20 minutes in half cup of water.
Stir the water and sugar so that the
sugar is dissolved before the boiling
point is reached. Mix the sirup and
fruit juice. Freeze the apricot ice, and
line mold, i1nbedded in salt and ice,
with this apricot water ice. Press it
on the sides and fill the cavity in tie
center with the iced rice pudding. Cover
the mold and seal it up Theoretically,
rubbing butter thickly around the edges
of the cover, SO that the salt and ice
cannot penetrate within. Cover the
mold with ice and salt, pack newspa-
pers around it, and tie them over it TO
prevent the water penetrating to the
packing. Leave it for four hours or
longer; then uncover it, turn it out on
low glass platter and decorate Is with
a wreath of whipped cream favored to
suit the taste.-N. Y. Tribune.

A well-known club woman the other

..Shall you wear it at club meetings."

A Rasnherrx Ice Cream.

The most delicious ice creams are
those favored with fruit juices or fruit
pulps. They do not usually contain
eggs; therefore, they are more like a
sherbet than a regular ice cream, eX-
cept that milk or cream or part of both
are substituted for the water used in a
sherbet. Raspberry cream is one of
the most delightful of these light
creams. Boil two quarts of raspberries
with a pint of sugar for ten minutes.
Strain off the juice and squeeze the pulp
out of the raspberry Add it slowly to
a pint of boiling milk. Freeze this mix
ture. When it is cooled, and just before
it is ready to pack away, add pint of
cream beaten to a stiff froth. Pack
the cream away for three hours and il
will be ready to serve. a delicate white
cake, favored with bitter almonds, is
an excellent accompaniment to this
cream. A cream made of an equal guam
tity of chopped pineapple, cooked in
pint of sugar and strained, or of
peaches, may be used. Strain the pine
apple or the peaches through a puree
sieve that will allow all the fruit pulp
to pass throngh.-N. Y. Tribune.
