Missed the Loveliess Jewel.

A story of the carnival shows that an
age of chivalry can coexist with an age
of robbery. Mime. Charlotte T, a
Halles saleswoman and, moreover,
widow, went out, as was only natural,
to have o look at the procession. She
found on her return that her jewels had
been stolen in her absence, and as the
Jewels were worth $500 it was q serious
loss. For all ills, however, there are
compensations, and on the table the
thief had left q note, brief indeed, but
gallant and gratifying to degree. "a
thousand regrets, SO the note ran, ''for
not having found in this chamber by
far its most lovely jewelr'-Paris Mes

a DAY IN BED.
An Experiment That Few Healthy People
Have Time or Disposition to Try.

An Experiment That Few Healthy People
Have Time or Disposition to Try.
One often hears somebody say with
glee that he is going to take day on
or a day in the country or day on the
river, but seldom if ever that he is go
ing to take day III bed. and yet a day
go spent when one really needs day off
is one which deserves red letter record
in his history, according to writer IN
the Pittsburg Times. One lies late of
Sunday mornings and tells what lux
ury it is not to have to get up at the
usual hour, but one never knows the
glory of such thing till he spends
whole day in bed. To enjoy it one must
not be sick nor pretend to be. He must
be in fairly good health and free from
trouble or worry of any sort. Then he
is entirely himself, and it is tho only
place in which he can be.
As soon as he dresses he comes under
restraint, not merely physical, but
mental, for no one can wholly escape
the influence Of his clothes, whether
they be good or bad, in fashion or out.
For ages character has been identified
with clothes and will be for ages, in
spite Of all that has been or Will be said
against it. One may not always be con-
scious Of the influence, but it exists all
the same. Not trace of it is felt when
one is in bed. There he is free. He can
twist and roll and kick and throw his
arms about as he will. If he should do
the like elsewhere, there would be sus-
picion of his sanity. A day in bed is
not day of rest merely, but of liberty.
He has the infinite for his own.
Not few of Pope's best lines came to
him while in bed. Thomson composed
his finest description of natural scenery
while in bed. A like thing doubtless
may be said Of the humorists. There is
little doubt that the liveliest jokes cur
rent were thought out while their au-
thors were in bed. The blood flows free
" then, digestion does its perfect work,
the mind is relieved of the care of tho
body, the imagination and fancy roam
the earth and skies and gather Of their
treasures, the Inscriptions on the tablets
of memory come out. and incident and
adventure recur in a hight of their own
suggesting new ideas and relations. One
never knows what life is till he has
spent day in bed, in full 81 fair health,
without thought save those which
come smiling to him In his rest.

MARRYING FOR MONEY.
Clever Defense of Much Condemne
Matrimonial Step.

Clever Defense of a Much Condemned
Matrimonial Step.
Among the unnecessarily harsh judg-
ments pronounced upon human actions
may be classed the universal seorn ex-
pressed toward the girl who marries for
money. There are those who do not
hesitate to draw the most odious COM
parsons between such girl and others
of her sex, says writer In Vogue.
Making of love, SO called, sort of
fetch, the world defles what is, after
all, but an instinct, as though it were
a grander, finer thing than courage or
probity or self denial, or any other real
ly beautiful human trait. 1t applauds
any insanity committed in the name of
love, provided always that the conyen-
tions are observed. Love that leads to
the degraded life of the tenements, to
alliances with the diseased or morally
weak, that throws away years of train
ing in an art or q science, that breaks
the hearts of parents-all of these
things, and many as monstrous, are ex-
cused if only Glove is offered as rea-
son for their doing.
In q world like this, where, i'll spite
of countless public and private charities
for the alienation of their sufferings
and the permanent lettering of their
conditions, thousands of helpless little
ones expiate by cruel suffering and acute
want their parents scorn of money con-
siderations in matrimonial alliances, it
cannot surely be wholly reprehensible
to look with favor on moneyed alliances.
Sentiment is, indeed, to be preferred
to sordidness, but the girl who decides
for the decencies as well as tho luxu-
ries of life for herself and any chill
dren that may be born to her, by ehoos-
ing wealth instead Of poverty is not
necessarily sordid, and, beautiful though
sentiment may be, when to cherish it
means inevitably life in small, unwhole-
some quarters, the hot stuffy town for
the children even in their critical sec
ond summer (since the little home can
not spare the services of its mistress
nor is there any money to spare for the
seasons needed outing), when--as is
usually the ease-sentiment means all
this frightful injustice to little, helpless
beings, the price is too high, and il
ceases to be virtue.

THE CHANCE PASSAGE.
A Knockdown Argument For the Early
to Rise ScOtchman.

to Rise Scotchman.
An old Scotchman had roommate in
New York who was not fond Of early
rising and never stirred from his bed un-
til the breakfast bell rang The older
man considered it his duty to warn the
Young man against the effects Of indo-
lence, and at the same time to impart
religious instruction to him.
Every morning the Scotchman arose
at 8 O'Clock, shaved himself and when
completely dressed shook his young
friend and addressed him in this man.
ner: f
Nov, lad, you see what it is to gain
time. Here am dressed and ready for
breakfast with half an hour in which
to read q chapter in the Bible and to
commit q verse to memory which may
serve useful purpose during the day.
Now shall open the good book at ran
dom and read any verse on which my
eve chances to light, and think 1t prob
able that the verse will have some spe-
ciaI application for the events OF the
day. Meanwhile, there you are, with
barely enough time to dress for break
fast and not minute to spare for good
reflection. "
For week or more this address was
repeated every morning with little var1-
alton, and the chance passage read aloud
Then the young man gave the Scotch
man a dose of his own medicine.
1t was cold morning when the
Scotchman, wearied by late hours the
previous night, oversight The younger
roommate arose softly, dressed himself
quickly and aroused him.
''Here / am" began the convert to
the new gospel of early rising, "in com
plete order for breakfast and ready to
turn to a verse in the good book which
may serve me useful turn during the
day.
"Well done," said the Scotchman,
rubbing his hands. 4.5=zz
"You know, too" continued the
young man, without smile on his face,
'sthat ones hands may be directed by
something that is not blind chance to u
verse which may be highly significant. !"
Certainly, said the Scotchman,
pleased to perceive that his lesson had
been aptly learned by the pupil. "Open
the book and read the first passage which
your eye catches. "
The young man opened the book, and
without q pause or a smile read the fol-
lowing verse from Proverbs: s4#...s
''He that blesseth his friend with a
loud voice, rising early In the morning,
it shall be counted curse to him. -
The serious Scotchman was taken back
SO completely by the sentiment that he
demanded the book and had to read the
verse through his spectacles before he
could believe that his companion was
not deceiving him.
"Well, lad," he remarked gravely,
ST suppose it was meant for my benefit
I'll let you sleep another morning. -

What the Alabama Did.

In the war between the northern and
southern states, which ragged in America
during 1876, we have the only in
stance in which steam cruisers have
been employed on any scale to harry
commerce. The south had no commerce
to be attacked, but the north had a
large and prosperous merchant marine.
From first to last the south sent IL
steam cruisers and small sailing cruis-
ers to sea. These captured between
them 2 steamers and 261 sailing
ships-not very heavy bill of loss, one
would think Yet this loss practically
drove the United States flag from the
seas. TO prove this, will quote from
the case of the United States, as pre-
sented to the Geneva arbitrator, the
following facts: In 1860 two-t thirds OF
the commerce of New York was carried
on in American bottoms. In 1868 three
fourths was carried on in foreign bot
toms. - And the transfers from the
United States to the British flag We're
enormously large They We're:

The term abigail, as applied to Ia

The mediocre Alabama, single

cause of most of this loss. There were
no doubt other contributing factors,
but the effect of her career is plainly
marked in the sudden increase of trans
fers during 1868, when she was at sea-
