idea she meant to convey was how
would o'clock suit Miss Hobson.
You know in London, where cheap
excursions abound. they have certain
prices for certain days. When AIRY in
vites 'Arriet to an outing, a natural
question is, What price, Thursday, or
Saturday, or Sunday9' as the case may
be. From this humble origin sprang
phrase which is used by all the classes
ON the other side. If any doubt exists
as to when something is to be done, an
hour for appointment is suggested by
the what price" query. And the
young fellow who wants to give the i'm
preston that he is hand in glove with
the Gaiety girls should bear in mind
that a cad is now "a bounder.'' and that
something he doesn't like is no clawss
at all" These are just few sugges-
tions selected from a somewhat OBJ
scure category of Gaiety girl slang.
With true feminine curiosity the
English girls are greatly interested in
our shops, and they hadn't been here
a day before they were off after bar
gains. late breakfast, a jump into
one of the electric cars. and away they
go into the shopping district, there TO
revel III all the glories so dear to
woman's heart the world over
That is one way of spending the
morning. Another way is to spend
few hours answering letters The Cal
ETY. girls mail often demands serious
consideration. Mash" notes? Pah!
She doesn't give a snap of her fingers
for them. oh. yes, she gets lots of
them, together with flowers and candy
and other gifts. But, let me tell you
young fellow, she scarcely reads the
letters.
There are letters from home, how
ever and these she is always eager to
receive. Sometimes they are love let
ters, and sometimes they are from her
solicitors in London. Business letters
come to Gaiety girls-le ters about the
disposition of property investments
and the like. Strange, isn't it?
Then off to the theater they go, just
as enthusiastic over their work as you
are in your appreciation of it. And
the rext time you go to the Knicker-
booker Theater. just watch the girls
closely and see if their every move

story Of more or less regular living, of
a keen enjoyment Of living, which only

paired appetite.-New York Herald

How Snake Poison Kills.

The action of poisons upon the sys-
tenn Is and always has been one of the
most interesting Of subjects. Just
how and why 1t kills has Just been de-
termined through a series of expert
ments made by scientists. The follow
Ing description Is unquestlonably the
best and most lucid of any that has
been given to the public: "The venom
may be roughly separated into two
parts-one acting upon the blood and
the other upon the nerves. When in
jected 1t Immediately begins to create
terrible destruction In the blood YES
sells, the walls of the veins are eaten
away and an internal hemorrhage
takes place. While this Is going on n
portion of the venom is attacking the
nerves. Particularly susceptible to its
ravages Is the 'vasomotor' system, q
nerve center which controls the mus
cles Of respiration. Paralysis takes
place in these organs, and the victim
generally dies from an inability to
breathe"

A MAGNANIMoUs QUEEN.
Her Clever Trick to Save a Servant
from Discharge.

Her Clever Trick to Save a Servant
from Discharge.
King Willem III. Of the Netherlands,
the father of the young Queen Wilhel
nina, married a second time when he
was well-advanced in life; and in order
to please his amiable young wife, pur-
chased a very beautiful service Of Sew
res porcelain for ordinary use In the
palace.
AS it was costly, he wished to have II
preserved, and accordingly gave orders
that any servant who should break or
injure one of the pieces might expect
immediate dismissal.
One day a servant went to the young
Queen greatly distressed. He had
broken one of the delicate teacups. He
had been in the Kings service for
many years, and was heart-broken over
what seemed to him the prospect Of
being dismissed In disgrace.
The Queen tried to comfort him by
suggesting that the cup could be mend
ed, as 1t was clean break, and the two
edges could be put together with ce-
ment. The servant shook his head, and
remarked that his majesty had sharp
eye, and would be certain to detect the
crack In the cup at once.
The Queen told him to mend 1t as well
as he could, and to be careful to serve
the cup to her that afternoon in the
Kings presence at tea-time. The SER
want followed her directions, and with
trembling hand filed it with tea and
served her. The Queen turned aside,
drank the tea, and rising suddenly from
her chair, let the cup fall upon the floor,
where 1t was broken into fragments.
''Think of me as one of the most awl1-
ward Of your majesty's servants" she
said, with humility. 81 have broken
one of your precious Sevres cups. You
must discharge me at once. l don't
deserve to remain in your service"
The arbitrary old King was amused
by her demure manner, and considered
the accident very good joke. The
poor servant, standing behind the tray,
cast grateful look in the direction Of
the Queen who had protected him. He
remained in the service of the King,
who never learned the truth about the
broken cup.
The consideration which Queen
Emma displayed for the feelings of a
servant was a proof of her kindness of
heart After the Kings death she be-
came regent during the minority of the
young Queen Wilhelmina, and won the
confidence and sympathy of her Dutch
subjects by her unfailing tact and ami
ability.-Youth's Companion.

your heart are still entwined around that

Of a woman's love could not detect the
gold among the dross!
