THE VALUE OF HEARTS

At trial for breach of promise, now
in progress in this State, says the San
Francisco Argonaut, the price of the plain
tiff's heart is set at only SIS ,0O0. These
are hard times. and even hearts have fallen
in value. The poet tells us that "A true
heart is worth more than curonet, and
judging by the sums at which it has been
appraised in more prosperous seasons, 1t
would take a coronet as fine as Mrs.
Bradley Martins TO equal it in value
From fifty to ten Thousand dollars have
been the figures that hearts have com

Moltke and His Servant.

Once while travelling, Moltke, the German
general, came to Zurich, and walked to
the hotel. AS the headw alter saw his
gaunt figure stalkingin, wrapped in worn
out, dusty cloak, carrying an old leather
satchel, he measured his wealth by his
looks, and ordered the assistant to show
him to a small room in the uppermost story.
