JOKE ON THE LANDLORD.
The iIlustrious Guest Appreciated His
Good Wine.

Good Wine.
A few days ago a very exalted per-
sOnage was entertained at dinner in
One of the chief hotel restaurants in
Berlin and, as 1t was known that he
is exceedingly fond Of a certain 9till
wine, it was determined to give him
with his fish a bottle Of a more than
ordinary vintage, says the London Tele-
graph. a kind of practical joke was
played. The bottle was placed before
him without any label being on it, and
the landlord was requested to name
only a moderate price if the noble guest
should detect the quality of the wine
and make any special inquiries about it.
This %precaution turned out to have
been necessary in one sense. but il led
the host into an expense that he did
not bargain for. He has learned
a new lesson, namely, that n may suf-
fer from depreciating what one has
as we'll as from exaggerating its value.
That is a capital wine" said the guest.
Let us send for the landlord and ask
the price of it. l would not mind hav-
ing a few hundred dozens of that in
my cellar" Mine host hurried up, and
assured his illustrious interrogation
that the delicious liquor cost no more
than l shilling 9 pence per bottle.
We'll, am not going to throw away
so good a chance as this" replied the
astOnished connoisseur. That is very
cheap, indeed. Have the kindness to
send to my cellar master a thousand
bottles" A cold shudder crept over
the limbs of the rash entertainer, for
his wanton duplicity had led him in
for an order he did not anticipate. 1t
was too late to inform the illustrious
guest Of the trick played upon him
in fact, he might have taken it amiss.
The wine he had been drinking did
not cost only l shilling 8 pence; it was
a brand the price of which was 7 shil-
lings a bottle. This practical joke,
therefore, cost its author no less than
$3.50, for he had to make up this diff
ference out of his own pocket. | need
hardly add that the happy possessor
of this thousand bottles continues to
qlaff with great gusto fiagons of this
memorable wine, with it's delicious
flavor and luxuriant bouquet, and that
he invariably boasts to his guests of
his fabulous good fortune in obtaining
so choice a wine for so small a price.

so l suppose, or you wouldn't have
lied to Laura Carew about it"
"Eric!"
There was something so pathetic
about the girls expression as mis- name
burst from her lips-she looked so
childish. SO helpless, and 80 miserable
that the anger in Eric's heart died
suddenly. A whole world of thoughts
surged up in his mind. Why had he
left this child so lonely? The fault was
his. Maggie, DEAR" he said gently, Il
know I've not been as | ought to the
best little wife in the world. I've set
you a bad example, and you are so
young you don't understand things
you don't know what men are; you've
been a little foolish, perhaps, but that's
all, I'm sure-do you hear, dear?-Im
quite sure of that. But you must tell
me the story of that bangle
TT o, Eric, I'm ashamed and
she turned her face away.
Tell me, dear"
There was a moments pause.
We'll, then, | bought it myself"
"Maggie!"
Yes. o, don't think ] want to
blame you, Eric, but the other women
I know were always having presents
from their Observation-Disclosures and
sweets and trinkets-and so as you-as
you did not think of them, | bought
them myself. and said you'd given them
to me-
Eric held her at arms length. She
raised her face suddenly and looked at
him.
Il wanted people to think you spoilt
me-that you were in love with me
still"
Eric Fawcett did not return to the
Delawares, and a couple of days later
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS bangle had
a companion, which was clasped on
Maggie's arm by her husband himself

Demand for ElIntlOckS.

Strange as it may appear, flintlock
muskets are not merely a record of by
gone ages, says the st. Louis Globe
Democrat. In 1895 no fewer than L.
$4,000 guntlints were produced at the
Lingheath mines, Brandon, Suffolk,
England. These flints are chiefly to de-
light African and other s2vaSes, who,
having been so long used to fiintlocks,
are reluctant TO give them up. The
method Of manufacturing these gun
flints is very interesting. In the opera
tion of taking" the worker will take
a quarter" in his left hand and plac-
ing it on his knee, nd which a pro-
tecting band OF her has been
strapped, gently tap the flint with a
hammer, giving 1t each time a we'll
directed blow. At every tap a fake
six inches long and one inch wide falls
into his hand, and, if a good one, is
deposited in a pail by his side, all bad
ones being discarded. The knappers
work these fints with hammers with
long, thin heads, often made OF old files,
~transversely striking the strip of flint
on an iron fixed in their benches.

Fawcett turned slowly round hat no

My dear, you'll be the success OF the
evening; and 0, what an exquisite
bangle that isl" and with an exclama-
ton of delight, Lady Carew caught her
cousins wrist, on which glittered a
magnificent bracelet set with diamonds
n emeralds. Surely that's new,
isn't it? 1t wasn't a wedding present,
was it?"
Mrs. Fawcett flushed n~ervously.
NO; you haven't seen it before-l

cuous presents like that! Who gave it

What do you mean?" asked Maggie
quickly.
Only that their source is more often
a guilty conscience than an overflow

Laura. why will you say such
things? Come, the carriage is ready"
$50 am /; but isn't Eric coming?"
Not with us; he was lunching with
the Delawares and sent over for his
things. He will so with them, and
he goes back there to sleep"
The two women took their places in
the snug brougham. 1t was a fairly
long drive to Treloar Hall, where the
Darshire hunt ball was to take place,
but there was absolute silence in the
carriage, partly because, as cousins and
intimate friends, there was III neces-
sity for conversation between it's occu-
pants, and also because Maggie Faw-
cett knew of old that Lady Carew hated
to tire herself out with talking before
the serious business of the flirting and
Waiting began.
Maggie Fawcett's appearance at the
hunt ball was something of an event.
She was the bride Of the occasion.
Early in the spring she had married
Erie Fawcett, and this was the first
winter she had spent on his estate in
Darshire.
Now and again Lady Carew glanced
at her cousin. Maggie leaned back in
her corner, the white fur of her wrap
nesting round her throat. and her
small head resting against the cush-
ions of the carriage. 1t struck her COM
panion that the young wife's face was
a little pale, and that it wore a look of

Maggie is the best little soul alive; and,
besides. there isn't an eligible man
within a dozen miles. Still, | never
should have expected Eric Fawcett to

and she laughted softly to herself.
Laura Carew was a good six years
older than her cousin, and she remem-
bered very distinctly that at the same

though she was fond of her cousin, she
was rather sorry for Eric. Women
generally are sorry for the men who
marry some one else.
But. in spite of Lady Carew's moder-
ate estimate of Maggie's powers of
attraction, her card was full before she
had been in the room ten minutes
as full, that is, as she would allow it
TO be; for she valiantly resisted all
efforts to fill up two spaces which she
insisted on preserving.
