Mrs. Bancroft, the wife of the historian,
when staying in London, went one day to
an afternoon musicale in Mayfair, says
the Illustrated American. On the way she
was attracted by a display of shawls in
a Regent street window, and stopping the
cab, went into the shop and bought one,
throwing it over her shoulders to wear to
the social gathering. The astonished
guests at the musicale were edited by the
sight Of the elegant Mrs. Bancroft floating
through the drawing rooms with a pla-
card on her back bearing the words Very
Chaste."
This suggests an incident in the life Of
Mrs. Gladstone, the wife of the premier,
who is noted for her absent mindedness.
She once arrived late at a dinner. and
while apologizing to her hostess, explained
that the delay was caused by her ina
bility to find the bodice of her gown.
However, il is all right she concluded,
'for 1 had another bodice that combined
we'll with the skirt and L have worn that"
But what is that on your skirt, my
dear?" asked Mr. Gladstone, who was
just behind her as she sailed majestically
across the room. 1t was the missing bodice
which she had pinned there after last
wearing, that she might not mislay it!

1.-THE vanity that leads certain people to
have diamonds set in the gold lining Of
their teeth led to a rather unusual catas-
trophe in the part of one of the devotees
of the new fad" said a New York dent
list, according to the Detroit Free Press.
There was an actress who courted no
toriety. So 1t was published in the pa
pers that she had expensive diamonds set
in her pearly grinders. The diamonds,
you know, are placed in the gold setting,
and then the setting is placed in the de-
fective tooth. 1 know western man who
spent 81 900 on diamonds which were plac
ed to such ignoble uses.
"One night, the apartments of the act
ress in question were burglarized. The
men helped themselves to all the jewels
they could find, and then one of the mask
ed men said to the affrighted lady:
" Now, madam, open your mouth"
''She asked them what they wanted.
" The diamonds in your teeth. We read
about them in the Breeze
" oh, that was only a story on my man
ayers part
Well, they say anything you read In
the Breeze is So.
so she displayed her pearly teeth, and
there, sure enough, were the diamonds
one of the burglars cooly took out a
little dental saw and sawed off three
teeth. AT least, that's thestory that is be-
ing told The actress didn't advertise the
loss of the teeth, she was so chagrined
and Inundated. Besides, it wouldn't do,
you know, to let the public learn that
those pearly ornaments had been mutt
lated and were replaced with porcelain
tops this time. If the fad continues I
look to see people held up regularly for
their teeth"

Personal.

The diary of Sir Charles Murray, print
ed in the current Cornhill Magazine, gives
a highly interesting glimpse of the Car
Nicholas. When the Russian monarch
visited Windsor Castle in 1S44 a grand
state bed was prepared for him, but his
valet produced a great sack, seven feet
long by four broad, which the attendants
were requested to fill with clean straw,
this being the only bed on which the i'm
perial limbs ever reposed!
in his address on Pasteur before the
French academy CASTOR Paris, the new
member, said that the scientist used often
to leave the table in the middle of dinner
and his bed at night in order to elaborate
an idea that he had been fermenting in
his brain. Referring to Pasteur's rise
from a humble place in a village drug
store, NJ. Paris said that even in his youth
he astonished his companions by attack
ing problems which the greatest saVants
had not attempted to solve.
Briefly and modestly Postmaster Cen
eral William L. Wilson has accepted the
presidency of Washington and Lee Uni
versity, Virginia. I'm signifying my ac-
ceptance of this high trust" he writes
to Rector William Mclaughlin, II beg
leave TO add that am grateful for the
proof of confidence so graciously given
by the trustees, and, as 1 believe 1 am
aware of the burdens and difficulties in
cident to the position, / shall, therefore,
enter upon it's duties with such expecta-
tons of success only as shall be founded
on patient labor and earnestness of pur-
pose"

No wonder She DisIiked II.

II hope nobody will give me another OF
those nasty appropriate verse calendars
as long as I live" said Miss Keyes the
other day as she Topped herself down in
a chair in Miss Locke's room, SAYS the
Chicago Times Herald
why nOt?' asked Miss Locke whats
the matter with that kind of calendar"
Well I'll tell you," replied Miss Keyes.
You know what a nasty day this has
been; how it has rained and blown and
carried on generally-and you know, too,
it is my busiest day of all the week"
But what about the calend--'' inter-
rupted Miss Locke

ped Miss Keyes. II got up awfully early,
just tore through breakfast and ran to
catch my train. AS 1 was about to step
in the car l remembered that l had for
gotten my ticket and had to go back after
it. That made me wait half an hour for
the next train. / got down town at last
and rushed to the Riches to Josephine

at that calendar. Now what do you sup

Il couldn't guess. What was it?" asked
Miss Locke.

VIII Greece Prove RecaIcitra

The foreign admrals have issued their
proclamation announcing the conditions
under which autonomy will be granted
to Crete. Crete is to have practically
home rule, though she will remain a part
of the Turkish empire. The Turkish and
Greek troops will be withdrawn and
troops of the powers will occupy the ISL
and until order is completely restored.
VIII Greece accept the decision of the
powers? THAT is a question that cannot
yet be satisfactorily answered. 1t is diff
ficult to see how she can help doing so
unless she is secretly supported by some
one or more of the powers, or it may
be that she hopes by maintaining the
position she has assumed England, France
and Italy may be compelled, by the force
of public sentiment within their respective
limits to refuse to assist in carrying out
the policy which the powers have agreed
upon.
1t is well known that public opinion in
France is with Greece; and such is the
case also in England and Italy. Even in
Russia the people favor Greece 1t is
not in accordance with Russia's policy,
however, to risk a general European war
at this time or to have the Ottoman en-
pire broken up. 1t was her influence
and that of the great Paris bankers that
induced the French Chamber of Deputies
to approve the common action of the
powers.
No one of the powers is anxious for
a war with the modern means of warfare.
and hence they are going to prevent a
war if they can. In that event nothing
is left for Greece to do but to yield 10
the inevitable or take the consequences
If she should refuse to yield. and should
declare war against Turkey general
European war might result, notwithstand-
ing the efforts Of the powers to prevent
1t. A few days will determine probably

Little Brooches.

BY John Hay, who has been appointed
Ambassador to the Court of st. James.
l don't go much on religion,
1 never amt had no show;
But I've got a middlin tight grip, sir,
On the handful O. things l know.
l don't pan out on the prophets
And free will and that sort of thing
But believe in God and the angels,
Ever since one night last spring.
1 come into town with some turnips,
And my little Gabe came along
No four-year-old in the county
Could beat him for pretty and strong.
Peart and clipper and sassy,
Always ready to swear and fight
And l larnt him to chaw terbacker
Jest to keep his milk teeth white.
The snow came down like blanket
As l passed by Taggarts store;
l went in for a jug of molasses
And left the team at the DOOR
They scared at something and started
I heard one little squall
And hell-to-split over the prairie
Went team, Little Brooches and all.
Hell-to-split over the prairie
I was almost froze with skeer;
But we rousted up some torches
And sarched for em far and near.
At last we struck HOSES and wagon,
Showed under a soft white mound,
upset, dead beat-but of little Gabe
No hide or hair was found.
And here all hope sOured on me,
OF my Teller critters aid
l jest Topped down on my marrowbones,
Crotch-deep in the snow, and prayed.
BY this the torches was played out,
And me an Isrul Parr
Went off for some firewood to a sheepfold
That he said was somewhat thar.
We found II at last and a little shed
Where they shut up the lambs at night
We looked in and seen them huddled thar,
So warm and sleepy and white;
And there sot Little Brooches, and
,chirped,
As peart as ever you see,
Il want a chaw of terbacker,
And that's what the matter OF me-"
How did he get thar? Angels
He could never have walked IN that
storm.
They jest scooped down and toted him
To whar II was safe and warm.
And I think that saving little child
And fotching him TO his own
Is a derned sight better business
Than loaiin around the throne.

There is said to be somewhere out west,
on one of the Indian reservations, a de-
post of asphaltum. It is not yet devel-
oped, and cannot be opened up until GER
tain matters have been adjusted by the
passing of bill through congress. 1t has
been suggested in dispatches from Wash
ington that certain well known political
leaders would greatly profit by the open
ing Of the deposit. If tariff duty were
levied upon asphalt the aforesaid lead
ers would take even larger profits 1t is
possible that there is connection between
the interest Of the politicians in the de-
post on the Indian reservation and the
proposition to take asphalt from the free
list of the Dingley bill and put it upon the
dutiable list.
