Du Maurier has been much written
about in the press by men pretending to
be his most intimate friends though in
one or two conspicuous instances the
family Of the late lamented were rather
surprised ut this presumption. One of
Du Maurier's institutions was pair Of
vases which he called his 'joke pots. "
He used to receive large number Of
contributions from English and Amcri-
can friends, all purporting to be true
and worthy of an illustration by him. L
know mt least several instances where
friends Of mine have sent him texts
which he very soon afterward used to
good advantage. AS these contributions
arrived he threw them into one of these
"ioke pots" by way Of filling-a new
kind of pigconhole. Then when mo-
ment arrived in which he had to scratch
his head icr n subject, he would dip his
ha'''. - "s;her his arm, into this lot
tory 90 t.' up one contribution after
IL - g! he found one that might
he 1cc.; IS prize ticket.
In order t.iat he might insure himself
against repetition he observed the rout-
inc Of never putting a contribution back
into the same Joke pot" from which
he had extracted it, but deposited it in
the second vase, until the first one had
been cleared. Then he attacked the Sec
ond one and emptied all the lottery Sins
back into the first, and so on, daily
wedding out the worthless ones and re-
freshing his memory as to those best
adapted to his purpose. The fact that
these two Joke pots" We're kept so
we'll supplied by friends who volunteer
ed their contributions is in itself ample
testimony to the personal charm widely
exercised by this warm hearted master
of black and white. e.-Harper Weekly.

CHAPTER XII.

'sIO BE HONEST. As TH1s WORLD doEs"
Mr. Wallie Dinsmore had been in.
t,ulGing in good deal of casuistry OF
late, owing to a desire to reconcile ilis
theory that human beings ought 10 help
one another with his temperamental
aversion to being mixed up in other peo.
pies affairs. He might have evaded the
difficulty by handing over the mai Ter
which troubled him to Mrs Cadwalader
but that would only have been an indi.
rect way Of forcing his own hand. He
smoked great nnmber,of cigars, seased
in his study chair. and accidentally tried
to stare his great white owl ont of corn-
tenanoe. but he hesitatcd still.
One morning while thus occupied he
heard a carriage stop at the door and a
card was brought up to him. Contrary
to his usual custom il such cases, he
jumped up, tossed his cigar into the FIRE,
gave pull to his collar and jerk to
his coat, and bade the servant conduct
Mile. Mariana upstairs.
By the time she appeared he had re-
covered his genial serenity. He shook
hands with her with the quiet corliality
of a man anconstantly in the habit of receiv-
ing famous prime donne in his private
sitting room. and at the same time gave
the servant look which intimated that
he would be not at home while this visit
or remained.
"You come in good season." said he:
"the owl and have just been talking
about YOU

"Well, know, interpossd Wallie. II
have often tried to persuade her that the

calls, but she is still welded to her
superstitions- You must try to put up

pretty good aunt"
The lady felt the kindness with which
be endeavored to put her at her ease,
and faint color dawned in her cheeks.
He went on:
II see by the papers that you are soon
to leave us. It must be pleasant to you
to feel how much respect and regard, as
well as renown, You have won since you
came here. hope it may soon bring you
back to us?
"Do you respect me, Mr.. Dinsmore2"
demanded she, fixing her eyes ON him.
"You were an enigma to me at first"
he replied Immediately, "but respected
you involuntarily, even before ! knew
that was right in doing So"
He met her look as he spoke, and she
felt that he spoke what he meant,
~ came to ask you to help me respect
myself" she said, with pause between.

Hakluyt's Zeal.

The great work of Hakluyt is the
Principal Navigations, in three folio
volumes, monument Of useful labor.
Nothing could stop or daunt him when
there was a chance of obtaining new
information. He rode 200 miles to have
an interview with the last survivor of
Master Hores expedition to America in
1886. He saved numerous journals and ].
narratives from destruction and the
deeds they record from oblivion. His
work gave a stimulus to colonial and to
maritime enterprise, and il inspired
our literature. Shakespeare owed much
10 Hal.luyt's Principal Navigations "
Milton owed much more. AS the years
passed on Richard Hakluyt in his own,
quaint language, continued "to wade.
still further and further in the sweet
studie of the historic Of cosmographie -
and he achieved his great task, which
was, in his own words, "to incorporate
into one body the torn and scattered
limbs of our ancient and late naviga-
tions by sea-. " He declared geography
and chronology to be the sun and moon,
the right ye and the left of all his
tory. ry.-Geographical journal.

Pare potatoes with sharp vegetable
knife, Just as thin as possible, for that
part of the tuber lying close to the skin
is richest in mineral salts, and put each
potato as peeled into pan of cold wa
ter to prevent discoloration. Have ready
meanwhile kettle Of boiling water,
and when the peeling process is com
plete take the potatoes from the cold
water, and, covering them with boiling
salted water, set them on the range,
covered, to boil. Twenty minutes will
usually suffice, but to test them use a
skewer or fork, and when they can be
pierced easily remove at once from the
fire, pour oil all the water and set them
on the back of the range, uncovered, to
steam dry, assisting that process occa-
sionally by a slight shaking of the ket-
tie.
If one asks the reason why potatoes
should always be cooked in boiling wa
ter, try the following experiment for
proof Take two cups, in each Of which
has been put teaspoonful Of ordinary
starch. Pour over one a quarter of Il
cupful Of boiling water and over the
other the same quantity OF cold water
and observe the result. The one over
which the boiling water was poured
stays in shape, compact mass, while
the one with the cold water dissolves
into soft paste The potato is largely
composed Of starch, and from this trial
any one may draw his own conclusions.
II you wish pulpy, watery potato, use
cold water; but if dry, mealy, snowy
ball that would delight the heart Of
Epicurus himself, always use boiling
water New York Commercial.

Tobacco In . Cricket Hall.

A crickt yarn which is having q fine
run in Australia refers to the use made
Of cricket ball by some prisoners who
were allowed to exercise in the yard Of
. country Jail.
Drives over the Jail wall became SO
frequent that the prisoners did little
else but field and throw the ball back
again.
At last the governor became suspi-
cious and insisted ON examining the
ball. Itwas Of india rubber and remark
ably light for its size. The explanation
was that the inside was composed of to-
bacco.
The halves Of the ball screwed togeth-
er neatly, and it is now said to be one
of the treasures Of the Jail museum.

Where Did She Go?
Between five and six o'clock on
Saturday evening, the little steam
er Kaena, loaded with coal and
provisions, quietly left port. Cap
tain Macaulay the pilot was in
command He took with him a
night glass and other navigating
instruments. No one on the water
front seems to know where the
Kaena has gone, but it is known
that an opium vessel is about due
from the Coast, and the steamer
is very likely after her.
After leaving the harbor, the
Kaeua was seen to head in the di-
rection of Kauai.
1t was rumored that a number
of armed men were aboard the
steamer when she Jeff the wharf,
and that n boat with a squad of
police, armed from head to heel,
put out after it had become dark
to join the steamer off port. There
is no truth In the story about the
police boat, but it is quite likely
that a few officers were aboard the
steamboat.
The kaena was sent out by the
Customs authorities, but knowl-
edge of where she went is being
kept a secret.
