pensing ten 70 afternoon callers - cups
sof priceless faience.
Women who write z had been the
subject on the tap1s, and the remark
was delicate compliment TO theswom-
an to whom she handed the tea She
was q successful writer uccessfu to
the extent Of making a good income az
the rnit Of nnwearied industry. She
had never known the delights Of Glia-
monds or her own carriage or a box at
the opera. She sometimes spent hard
earned S. for a drive, hut there was nei-
ther luxury in the carriage nor swift
ness in the steeds, and she was conscious
all through the drive lat when she
went back to the Office she would write
something about the country il. spring
or the flotsam of fall foliage and flow
ers with which the suburb ban resident
could decorate his house and table.
If she took q 81 seat in the opera
house. she rarely lost herself completely
IN the music, as she would have liked
to do, because skeletons Of paragraphs
on theater hats and theater manners, on
lovers who make love in the stalls as
we'll as on the stage, and Thousand other
things for the next day IS paper fitted
through her mind. She never had a Fee
Liz gown; on the contrary, she walked
ten blocks and climbed seven stories to
find a dressmaker who would make,
though at the same time mar, her one
gown for $40. Her modest house was
pretty, and she was even quite famous
for her petites soupers, at which one
sometimes met eminent and always de-
ightful people, but only herself and
her one maid knew at what cost Of per-
spring brow and smutched fingers and
aching back those dainty little dishes
were evolved.
So there was almost reverence in her
tones as she replied:
My dear, you are the clever woman;
you are far more clever than George
Eliot. The really smart woman is not
the one who makes her own daily
bread, even though there be a Nessel-
rode pudding thrown in now and then.
1t is she who, without raising her hand,
can cause all this luxury to be laid at
her pretty satin shod feet It is like eat
ing a Delmonico dinner and lamenting
that you are not the chef who cooked it.
Not the woman who works, but she
who gets all there is in life without
working, is the really clever woman. y
MAY there not be two kinds of clev-
erness?' said the woman who came to
make her adieus. -New York Herald.

WILD HORSES.
Their Capture an Industry In Australia,
Where They Abound.

Their Capture an Industry In Australia,
Where They Abound.
AS rule, the herds number from 10
to 10, made up of mares and one stall
lion. No stallion will allow another
stallion in his herd, and stubborn fights
frequently occur between horses owing
to this. The beaten males, after being
expelled, join herds exclusively of stall
lions. On any herds being sighted by
hunters good idea can generally be
formed by the experienced man as to
which route the animals will take in
their way to the rugged hills, for which
they invariably make when disturbed.
A scheme is mapped out to cut them off
if possible, and the party scatters, each
to take up his allotted position. Of course
while doing this every advantage is
taken of the natural inequalities of the
ground, so as to escape observation.
When the alarm is given, however, all
need for caution is at an end, and each
hunter puts his steed to full gallop. The
stallion, the head Of the herd, boldly
comes out to meet him, and endeavors
to distract attention from the rest.
In some rare instances he is lassoed
and captured at once, but he generally
manages to rejoin his wives, which by
this time have trooped into single file,
with his favorite mare in the lead
Should the herd be turned and get into
difficulties the stallion takes up his po-
sition in the van, and the great object
is to cut him off from the rest. Should
this be accomplished both he and the
mares become confused, and the lassoers
often manage to make two or three per
man. Instances have been known where
horses have been thrown to the ground
by the hunters giving violent jerk
to the animals tail when it was max
ing an abrupt turn. When this quarry
is brought down, either by this method
Or the use of the lasso, the rider jumps
from his steed, whips "b]inder'' Ia

horses eyes and straps up one of his
fore legs securely. If this is properly
done, the animal may safely be left
until called for, for no horse thus Sc
cured can stray far
Should a man be so unlucky as to
capture a branded horse or foal run
ming with a branded mare, he cannot
keep it, but all others become the prop.

from 81 5s. to e15. The later figure,
however, is seldom reached, unless in
the case Of exceptionally fine stations.
Great numbers of these horses die from
starvation in the winter time, but still
the herds show no signs Of diminution.

MEN WITH POOR MEMORIES.
Names of Friends and Even Servants Sud
denly FORGOTTEN.

Names of Friends and Even Servants Sud-
denly Forgotten.
An amusing instance of aphasia was
that Of an old country gentleman, who
retained in his employ a large number
of servants, most of whom he had
known since childhood.
Wishing one day to suddenly summon
his butler, he found that the man 8
name had for the moment, as he
thought, escaped him. He determined
to call his footman, but to his surprise
he discovered that he could no more re-
member the mans name than the but
ler's.
He was all the more astonished when
he found that he had entirely forgotten
the names Of every man and woman in
his service. "
He had also forgotten the names of
his most intimate acquaintance, and SO
set about providing substitutes. Every
man was known by his peculiarities
certain persons of rank in the neighbor-
hood he called the '.king'' or the
"queen'' or the grand vizier;;" his
butler and footman were respectively
"old waiter" and young waiter. =
Another curious instance of aphasia
was that Of a famous Berlin physician.
He was sitting in his study one morn
ing, writing a receipt for bill, when
suddenly, after having written two
words, he lost all sense of their mean
ing.
He tried to write on, but found he
could think of no word He threw down
his pen in despair, and attempted to
speak, but was equally unsuccessful,
This was one of those cases, however,
which soon pass off, and in short time
he was able to finish the receipt. &C Odds

crater and to jut out, cutting off further

monstrous hand. It flashed over me all
at once-this was the golden hand Of

voice sounded strangely h in my ears.
But Tom had already reached it, Sud-

forget rose in that awful stiffness, and
in another instant ] saw that ponderous
hand of golden stone sink lower, still

PURCHASING CRUISERS.
Though Almost Bankrupt, Spain Still
 Buys Warships.

NEW YORK, July 17.-A dispatch to the Herald from Madrid says: In an interview the minister of marine said that the government had authorized the purchase of cruisers in Genoa, but that the contracts would not be signed until the Cortes had granted the neces- sarv credentials. The minister said that one of the two cruisers was prac. tically ready and that the other could be delivered in February.
 It is learned from a trustworthy source that the credits will be granted, though the price is considered exces- sive.

SAVED BY HYPNOTISM.
Proves as an Alibi That He Was in
 Trance.

NEW YORK, July 17.-If William Mcdonald was the man that robbed Julius Rodner of diamond shirt stud worth $290, at p. m.. on March 22, Tn Second avenue, it must have been his astral body that did it. It was the con- clusion reached by the jury in General Sessions yesterday. Rodner lives at 131 Ridge street. He testified that on the evening mentioned he was walking along Second avenue in company with several other men. He says Mcdonald, :, who was with tour or five companions, jostled him in passing and stole his diamond. Several of his friends were in court and recognized Mcdonald as the thief. Mcdonald is mason, living at SIS East Fifteenth street. He proved 8 hypnotic alibi. His lawyer produced as the chief witness for the defense Professor" Wines, hypnotist, of La fayette place, Brooklyn.
 The hypnotist swore that at g p. m.. on that evening Mcdonald was in a hypnotic spell at his house. He re- mained in that condition for several hours. Several medical men were present at the test. Professor Wines was sure of the wherea bouts of McDon- ald's body, but was not 80 certain about his soul. William McGrath corrobora. ted the hypnotist's testimony. and said that he had been with Mcdonald on that evening until II o'clock.
 Recorder Golf was much interested in the testimony about hypno.ism. It was the first time it had been offered as 8 defense in any case tried before him. He asked many questions. r
 It took the jury an hour to agree on decision. The verdict was Mot guilty"

HAD A VISION.
Theosophy Responsible for Marriage
 in High Life.

NEW YORK, July 1.-The mar riage of Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., and Miss Gray Wilson, which was ar ranged to take place several weeks ago, but which. was postponed owing to the illness of the young man, may be celebrated any day. It is now as serted that it is to be theosophist union. People are asking, too, if un- der the circumstances Cornelius Van derbilt is justified in his opposition to his sons marriage.
 Miss Gray Wilson, so the latest story goes, had a remarkable dream last summer at Newport. Her dream un- folded to her that Cornelius Wander bilt, Jr., was her affinity. Miss Will son, so it is said, took steps within twenty-four hours to materialize her gratifying vision Cornelius Wander bilt, Jr., was invited to take luncheon with her at Bienvenue. The story of Miss Wilson's dream got whispered about at Newport. The occult evil dence of its accuracy was not long de layed. It was the fiction of Mary and her little lamb repeated. Where Miss Wilson went Cornelius Vanderbilt, Jr., was sure to go.
 All indications go to show that Cor nelius Vanderbilt, Jr, is dominated by an unseen theosophical. He losses aside his birthright of fortune, mount ing up into the hundreds of millions, as almost unworthy of consideration with his affinity topping the scale. He has even gone so far as to state that he did not care to carry the yoke of such an incumbrance.

DoBBs IN LUCK.
He Had as Close Call as Did Lucky
 Baldwin.

POMONA, July 17.-Mrs. Jennie band by shooting him yesterday. For several years she and her bus band have lived unhappily. They have frequently aired their trouble in the local courts and for some months have lived apart. William H. Dobbs, husband of the woman, went this morning to remove his trunk from the rooms adjacent to those occupied by hls wife in 8 down. town block. To be sure he had com. potent witness to what articles he re- moved. he took Constable Frank Slan- ker with him. The two men went to. gether to the room where the trunk stood. "
 At that moment Mrs. Dobbs appeared on the scene. There was fire on her eye and she kept her hands apparently care lessly under her apron.
 ''What are you doing ?" She said.
 "None of your business," replied Dobbs.
 That's my trunk and you've got to clear out from here," the woman re- torted.
 You go to -," replied Dobbs, and he bent down to lift the trunk. Quick as flash Mrs. Dobbs drew a pistol from beneath her apron and stepping close to Dobbs' head from the rear she fired. ga
 At that moment Constable Slanker jumped forward and threw up the woman's hand, so that the ball just grazed Dobbs' head. The pistol was SO close that his hair was singed. The weapon was wrenched from Mrs. Dobbs' hands and she was placed un. der arrest.

It is an odd fact that the telegraph lines will not work through the Hoosac tunnel. Messages have to be sent on wires strung on poles over the top of the mountains, fully nine miles. and that is the way ingoing and outcoming passenger and freight trains are her aided to the keepers of the two tunnel approaches.

Microbes on Paper Currency Destroyed
 by an Ammonia Bath.
 The fair metropolitan cashier has added new factor to her growing val ration which will not prove so desirable a vile in the eyes of her employer as the honesty and efficiency which have won for her almost monopoly in the business. It is the result of the microbe craze, says the Globe-Democrat, and is nothing less than washing all the money she handles, and charging her employer overtime, too. The discoverer of this new way to enhance her usefulness and cost is Annie Nesmyth, the money-taker of a big downtown hotel. Miss Nesmyth serves at night mostly, and, while less money comes in then than during the day, she is generally kept busy enough. The money is often very dirty and to the last degree repulsive to handle. Now, the cashier is trained nurse resting" from her arduous pro- fessional labors. After sick spel. from handling the soiled currency she concluded to resign. She was persuaded not to by an increase of her salary and permission to wash the money. So every night sees soup-plate of am monia water at her elbow, into which each note as it arrives is dropped. It gets a quick bath and then is laid out on piece of flannel to dry as tenderly as if it were her best piece of jewelry. The water has to be changed two or three times in a night.

Our grandmothers drank pure tea from Japan and elsewhere. They did not care how it looked in the store; what they wanted was good tea 70 drlnk.
 Then by-and-by someone one wanted good tea for less money, and he talked about high prices and all that; and along came somebody with good-looking tea to sell cheap tea painted.
 Then someone else thought he'd make more money; so he took cheaper tea and painted it more; and that is what they are doing now painting tea more and more.
