REPORTER WAS RUDE.
How Dealer I'm Butter and Eggs Was
Brought to His Senses.


Tomlinson was not one of those reporters
VINO go around with notebooks in their
hands and pencils stuck behind their ears.
he mad been in the business too long for
that When he had occasion to interview
man he die so in such a manner to
give the impression that he was merely
conVerslng with him in a casual way. He
never took notes unless there were figures
to be remembered, and nobody ever had to
complain that he got things mixed
But aside from his ability as a newspaper
man T0mlinson was genial and person
with whom 1T was profitable to associate.
therefore,, he sometimes appeared In So
clety-not as reporter, but as man.
Unfortunately. however, he often met peo-
pie who did not have as fine a sense of
propriety as he possessed. Or, do people
outside of the newspaper business think
that men who are in it always want to
parade their. profession? At all events,
ToE1linson seldom appeared at party or a
banquet or other social function without
being approached by from one to dozen
men, who would say:
Helloi Well, spose you're looking aft
er something to write. up for your paper.
Ell? You newspaper fellows never allow
anything to get away he, he, he!'
Tomllnson usually smiled and let such re-
marks pass without serious notice, but one
night he was a member of party at dim
ner given by the most exclusive club in the
city.
When the company had got seated Tom
linson found himself directly opposite the
proprietor of one of the largest commission
houses in the city. The man looked at the
reporter for moment as if he thought he
must be mistaken. 1t was evident that he
was surprised to see a reporter at such
place.
This netted Tomlinson. and he waited.
When the buzz of conversation had died
down enough so that the commission man
could be heard by everybody he said:
well, Mr.. Newsman' / suppose you'll
have full account of this in the paper to-
morrow, won't your?
No" Tomlnson replied. II didn't come
here to report the dinner. l came especially
to see you. 1t is alleged that you have
formed a strong corner in butter and [
would like to get few facts from you con-
corning the outlook for eggs"
The man never spoke to Tomlnson again,
and some of the latter's friends afterwards
told him that he had been rude.
Yes" said Tomlinson, II was rude. /
forgot myself. / should have remembered
a little thing like an insinuation that he
isn't equipped to mingle socially with la
dies and gentlemen"

is smooth and short. usually of a tan or
dark brown color His tail and ears are cut
short the former because of the supersti-
which would otherwise enter into the spinal
column and launches, and the latter for
aesthetic reasons.
Stringent police regulations against the
abuse Of dogs are consistently enforced, and
have so ameliorated their condition that the
French proverb, II would not be dog in
Belgium, has lost its point. These regula-
tons were originally an answer to a p0pu-
lar demand, but they have been maintained
and strengthened by an evident need. They
are the same in intent in all districts, the
use of the lash being often forbidden, and
rules for the treatment of the animals in
bot and cold weather being generally in
serted.
In Berlin the regulations require that
proper drinking vessel. filled with water,
shall be kept on the wagon for the dog
use," and that from October until April,
inclusive there shall be kept for each dog
a mat to lie on and cover to spread over
him during halts." In many districts the
driver is not permitted to ride in others
an annual inspection of dogs by the chief
veterinary official of the district is provided
for. Infractions of the regulations are pun
ished generally by fine, forfeiture of license
or imprisonment, the penalty being COM
mensuTate with the offense. In this way
the severity of their lot and the hardships
of the draught dogs are distinctly mitigated
even where their masters are indisposed to
show. any gratitude for the services rem
dered.

RULES FOR CANDY-MAKING.
Mrs. ROrer's Receipt for HOme-Made
Christmas COnfectiOns.

Mrs. S. T. Rorer, in Ladies' Home Journal.
Never stir the sugar and water after the
sugar has dissolved. Wipe down constantly
the granules forming or the side of the
saucepan. Do not shake nor move the
saucepan while the syrup is boiling. AS soon
as the sugar begins to boil watch 1t care
fully, having in your hand bowl OF ice
water, so that you may try the syrup al
most constantly. Have everything in readi-
ness before beginning. If the sugar grains
use it for old-fashioned cream candy or
sugar taffy 1t cannot be used for fondant
Use only the best granulated sugar for
boiling, and confectioners' xxx for knead-
ing. If your fondant grains without apparent
long. A few drops of lemon juice or a little
cream of tartar will prevent this. Fondant
is the soft mixture which forms both the
inside of the French candies and the ma
terial in which they are dipped, and 1t is to
obtain this that the sugar is boiled
After the sugar has reached the SOFT
ball." semi-hard condition, 1t must be
poured carefully into larger meat plate or
on a marble slab. Do not ScTape the sauce
pan or you will granulate the syrup. Make
your fondant one day and make it up into
candy the next. Never melt fOndant by
placing the saucepan Immediately on the
stove Prevent the danger of scorching by
standing the pan containing it in a basin Of
add water most cautiously, a drop at time.
A half teaspoonfu more than is necessary
will ruin the whole. To cool candy, place
it in COOL dry place. To keep candy put
it between layers of waxed paper in tin
boxes. If the day is bright and clear the
sugar loses it's sickness quickly, therefore,
select fine day for your candy-making.

The SkxIark.

How the blithe lark runs up the golden stair
That leans through cloudy gates from heaven K
And all alone in the empyreal air,
Fills 1t with iubilant sweet sounds Of mirth;
How far he seems. how far,
With the light upon his wings.
That shines. and sings:
What matter If the day be dark and frore
The sunbeam tells of other days to be,
And singing in the light that floods him Ger
In joy he overtakes futurity;
Under cloud arches vast
he peeps, and sees behind
Great summer coming fast
And now he dives into rainbow's river,
In streams of gold and purple he is drownd,
Shrilly the arrows of his song he shvers.
AS tho the stormy drops were turned to sound
And now he issues through
Family, like falling dew,
His fast notes shower.
Let every wind be hush'd that I may hear
The wondrous things he tells the world below:
Things that dream of he is watching near;
Hopes that we never dream'd he would bestow.
Alas! the storm hath rolpd
Back the gold gates again
Or surely he had told
All heaven to me!
So the victorious poet sings alone
And fills with light his solitary home.
And through that glory sees new worlds fore
And hears high songs and triumphs yet to come
He woos the air of time
With thrills OF golden chords.
And makes the world to climb
On linked words.
What if his hair be gray, his eyes be dim,
If wealth forsake him, and If friends be cold?
Wonder unbars her thousand gates to him.
Truth never fails nor beauty waxeth old;
More than he tells his eyes
Behold, his spirit hears
OF grief, and joy. and signs
'Twixt joy and tears
Blest is the who with the sound of song
Can charm away the heartache, and forget
The frost of penury. and the stings of wrong.
And drown the fatal whisper of regret!
Darker the abodes
OF kings, though his be poor,
While fancies. like the gods,
Pass through his door.
Singing thou scalest heaven upon thy wings,
Thou lftest glad heart into the skies;
He maketh his own sunrise while he sings,
And turns the dusty earth to paradise;
/ Thee sail along,
Far up the sunny streams
Unseen, l hear His song,
I His dreams
-TennvSOn

Poetry of the People.

New York Evening Post.
In lecture on poetry at Toynbee Hall
the other evening Mr.. Augustine Birrell
maintained that critics should not be too
jealous on behalf of the highest kind of
poetry and the great poets. The latter
could take care of themselves in the long
run person of critical taste is naturally
angry or at least panied, when he sees 9TH
ers enjoying am author whom he considers
a rank impostor But he should remember
that a great many estimabie citizens de
rive great satisfaction from hearing some
body say what they themselves had re-
peatedly remarked" Now 10 rush upon
such worthy people and take away from
them their Upper and their Eliza Cook,
their Will Carleton, or j. G.. Holland, will
not drive them to better things; it will
simply deprive them of their present solace
after a hard days work The highly in
tellectual poetry of Browning or Arnold or
of Tennyson in certain moods, could not
be made to replace at one stroke "Over the
Hill to the Poor House," or II Remember,

enjoy these masterpieces may rise to a diff
ferent standard, but ii takes time. In all
ages the poets of greatest wit and weight
find an audience few because fit They get
their readers late, while the poor poets and
the cheap writers must get theirs at once
If at all. There is no accumulation of bad
novelists and bad poets. Twenty years
hence" said Mr. Birrell. .pe6pie will not

reading. They will be reading bad authors
of their own, and when they are net do

SIXTEEN YEARS A GIRL,
And then the Youth Put on the Gar
ments Belonging to Him.
Philadelphia Telegraph.

A strange story has just come to light
of a boy who for sixteen years was brought
up as girl, dressed as a girl, attended a
girls school, and never dreamed that he
was anything but a girl. Young Toward
Thomson is the boy in question, and is to-
day an employee of e. K. Tryon's gun and
ammunition store at No. 10 North Sixth
street
He is usually seen in brown knickerbock-
ers and cap and red sweater. Two months
ago he was Lillian" Thomson, and wore
a red merino dress, jacket, and a be-plumed
hat and sat at a front desk directly under
the eye of the principal of a very select
institution founded more than a hundred
years ago for the education of very select
young ladies.
-Four years ago Mrs A. D. Thomson called
upon the principal just before the bell rang
for morning lessons. Mrs Thomson, a
stout, demonstrating woman, well dressed,
gave her address at No. 2101 Reed street.
She brought with her an overgroWn awk-
ward girl named Lillian" whom she intro
duced as her daughter.
She said Lillian had been a pupil in the
public schools for seven years. She was
six years old when she entered them. She
had not made remarkable progress in the
schools, and Mrs. Thomson desired to make
the change to a private school in the inter-
ests of her daughters education.
She was not a star pupil during her four
years. She was amiable, but of exuberant
spirits. She whispered almost incessantly
and from the last desk in a side row she
was graduated to one directly in front of
the principal so that she, might have the
advantage of that good lady's strictest sur
vellance. She was not idle but she seemed
to lack what the wealthy Philadelphia
tried to buy for his daughter-capacity.
Lillian Thomson was confessedly
eclipsed in the classroom. 1t was on the
playground she shone.
Lillian always professed repentance for
her boisterousness saying she did not know
why she was so hoydenish but she didn't
feel as though she could help it. Her sedate
periods following those of repentance were
short lived.
1t was few months ago that the pupil
left the school and was allowed to assume
the garments proper to his sex.
1t is said Mrs. Thomson reared her child
as a girl TO crafty the earnest desire of her
husband, who had long desired daughter
and was never apprised of the child's sex
until recently.

How to Live a Century.

What To Eat.
Dr. Horatio S. Brewer has written an
article under the above caption which is
interesting from the various theories adj
vanced even il one is skeptical as to their
application, calling attention to the fact
that mans life begins in gelatinous form
and ends in a bony form, unless it is cut
short by accident or disease. The doctor
goes on to say that the human form is soft
in infancy and hard in old age.
Justification of the tissues begins early
and Isl kept up until death. but the ossify-
ing process becomes marked after middle
age is past. Wherever the blood flows It
deposits earthly matter, which anectS all
the physical organs and materially inter-
feres with their functions when In excess.
The heart and arteries are clogged by 1t,
and the result is imperfect circulation OF
the blood, upon which nutrition depends.
Eminent physicians claim that II repair
of the tissues by nutrition was not inter
fered with life would be prolonged lndef-
nitely; that the greater number of people
mast sixty suffer more or less from arterial
ppssif1cation, which brings about obstruction
in the proper and healthy clrculatlon OF the
blood The blood is produced by the 1000
we eat. hence we must LOOK TO the 1000 t, LOT
blocks up the system ana produces Ola age.
Bread and meat, mans diet for ages, are,
after sixty the stan OF deata MUS nus
should be the diet at that age. A Few drops
of phosphoric acid in water at meal tlme
will greatly assist in aSs1mllaLng 1000, a
good hearty laugh, joyous and healthful
surroundings, and man need not care 1or
or fear old age.
DR. Brewer says that he wrote the above
at the suggestion of his great uncle, who,
at ninety-eight, had just taken unto him
self wife. This uncle had the appearance
of a. man of fifty and was just as active
The doctor is a little fearful that the old
gentleman may be assuming rather too
much in this last move, but he is quite sure
the above ideas are scientific and declares
that they have been lived out by his vigor-
Gus uncle with the results mentioned. The
doctor adds that he, personally, is pursuing
the same course.

ROYAL JEWELS.
Queen Victoria Has the Most valuable
Collection of Amy Sovereign.
London Mail.


Collection of Amy Sovereign.
London Mail
The fact that the Duchess of Teck has
left no will will lead to a great deal of dis
cussion to what is to become of her
beautiful jewels, some of which came to her
on her wedding day, and others twenty-five
years later for her silver wedding, when all
the ladies of England presented her with
a magnificent diamond necklace. She had
also two or three beautiful coronets and
some magnificent pearls, all of which will
have to be sold; but 1t is expected that the
Duchess of York will make arrangements
to buy them, and the Queen is also inclined
to make an offer for some OF the family
jewels. There is also a great deal of beauti-
full old family plate, and on the occasion or
her silver wedding the duchess also had
very many beautiful presents. Buying and
selling, it is well known, are quite different
matters. | should fancy that the jewels and
silver together will fetch at least G50,O0O.
The Queen is supposed to nave the nneSt
collection of personal jewelry of any sover-
eign in Europe although the Empress of
Austria may run her very close IN regard 10
her splendid possessions Queen Victoria s
jewels, however, are nearly all her own per-
sonal property and chiefly came, to her as
gifts or loot in the wars of India ana
China, as, for instance, the koh-i-noor.
When the Queen succeeded to the crown
there was a great collection of crown jew
els, consisting of tiaras. necklaces and or
naments of all sorts, including a magnln-
cent set of diamond bows, which were used
at the coronation to fasten the Queen S
train to her petticoat; in fact, the last time
all these jewels appeared in England was at
that ceremony, as afterwards the Queen S
uncle, the Duke of Cumberland, asserted his
claim to their possession, and started q
lawsuit which lasted many months and
e lded in his favor. AT the Queens mar
rage instead of the superb jewels which
were at her coronation, she wore instead
some which had belonged to Queen Anne,
and which had been reset for her, as We'll
as others which she had received as we'd
ding presents.

with all the other conveniences of a we'll
regulated club- At the corners of the streets
in Green Cove Springs stand the waste bar
rels of the association decorated with
quaint and funny notices.
In many other places of the South, as well
as through New England and the West,
these associations exist and it is only just
TO say that in most cases they are the OFF,
spring of the woman's club of the town.
The worlds fair at Chicago proved the
vivifying touch to many such enterprises,
the many displays there of civic methods
showing to the women from the crossroads
as Well as to the women from the cities
that much in this line which they had never
suspected was possible within their
domains. With this awakening, the move
ment has grown steadily and spread over a
tremendous territory. Its value in the past
and future can hardly be overestimated.
