IL continually calling upon museum
keepers apd trying to persuade them
into exhibiting his 10 called farities.
The curator uf popular northern
museum has been much worried In this
way during the last year or so Only
the other week a white haired old man
came to him and showed him a dagger
which was said 60 be- the weapon used
by King John in stabbinR the boy
Prince Arthur. The dagger was quite a
modern affair and showed no signs Of
age, but the old man stuck TO his de.
scription strenuously.
my dear fellow" he said 10 the Gu
rstor in patronizing tones, "if you are
so blind to your own interests as to re-
fuse this dagger, IL is no concern Of
mine. 1t has been in our family for cen.
turios, and we are descended In n direct
line from Hubert dc Bourg, the noble.
man who refused to allow Prince Ar
thurs eyes TO be burned out with red.
hot irons. I'll give you one more
chance, and IL you won't have it I'll
take IL elsewhere. +"
Needless to say, he had to take 1t
elsewhere
Another crank drove up 10 the mu-
scum gate one afternoon ON dray, to
which wits strapped big, cumbersome
writing table. The curator hastened
out to meet him and was just In time
to prevent him bringing the piece Of
furniture bodily into the hall.
On being asked for an explanation,
the visitor said he had decided to pre-.
sent the museum with priceless treas
ure in the shape of a writing table used
by Sir Francis Bacon. He had been pre-
serving it for long time, he said, in
order that he might write its history
which he had at last completed in II
manuscript volume of 32O sheets. The
curator, who is, of course, an expert,
examined the desk and declared it to
be worthless 1t had apparently been
used in schoolroom until it haI got
too rickety for service and was then dis
pensed with. AT any rate, it couldn't
have been more than 70years old. This
report was communicated TO the visit
or, who thereupon took TO raving like
a madman and became SO violent that
he and his treasure had to be moved
along by the police.
Royal relics are much in favor with
amateur collectors, and, though some of
the curiosities submitted to the museum
recently have been thought worthy of u
place on the tables, the majority have
proved to be hopeless rubbish. London

A Result of Disobedience and Too Much
Curiosity.
Mrs. Agouti and her small family
lived in hole under a great rock on
hillside Hill and rock and hole all be-
longed to n lovely island in the Carib-
bean sea, near the north coast Of South
America. So far as the hill and the rock
and the hole were concerned they
might have been in an island in the
temperate zone, but their surroundings
proclaimed them all to be in the tropics.
There were beautiful palms and tree
ferns ON the hillsides, and the weather
was always warm - always, even in
Northumberland snow and ice were nev-
er known in this island, except that the
latter was sometimes brought in vessels,
And as for Mrs Agouti herself, she,
too, was different from any animal we
have in our country-in shape some
thing like a rabbit, but with only the
least bit of tail, and something like .
musl1rat in' color, but as afraid of the
water as the muslrat is devoted to il.
In fact, she was a curious compound of
rabbit, muslxrat and woodchuck. All
agouti, in fact-called gouti for short
by the people of that island-is just the
funniest little animal you ever saw

about looking for something to eat, not
only for himself, but for his little fam

their eyes open to this world.
On the morning in which we are sup
posed to make their acquaintance, Mas
ter Gouti, being of venturesome dispo-
sition, wanted to roam abroad, like his
father, and find out something about
the things at the bottom of the hill II
was q sweet, delicious morning, with
dew on the grass blades and perfume in
the air. Master Gouti stuck his nose
out from beneath the overhanging shelf
of rock and shifted with his sensitive
nostrils, which were always in motion,
like those Of hare. And then he went
back and told his mother, who was in
the inner chamber attending to the
wants of the babies, what perfectly
beautiful morning it was and couldn'
he just take a little run down to the
banks of the stream at the foot of the
hill, where the air was SO cool and where
there were so many roots and vegetables
that he could find to eat?
Mrs Gouti thought for a moment
and then said: "Well, if you will

PADS IN FLOWERS.

Florists shops abroad are much different from the ones in this country. In London, for example, funeral wreaths and emblems are displayed in the windows, with their prices attached. Some are attractive, oth- CTS very hideous. Lichen is fashionable there for crosses and wreaths, and from this grisly-gray background calla-lillies and white roses peer. Set pieces, the "gates ajar," broken columns and floral pillows, are always painful for, in the first place, the natural grace and beauty of the flowers is destroyed and in the next there Is excuse for the emblems. Flowers for the dead should be scattered in careless handfuls-then only are they comforters, with their graceful beauty unimpaired. The modern custom of adding to a death notice the words, Friends will please omit f1owers' may be traced to the reluctance of the survivors to be confronted with these ghastly set pieces which have ragged so long.
 The best artists have always recognized that flowers should be allowed to arrange themselves. Basketfuls, armfuls or great punches of loose flowers are justifiable but crushing their beauty into any systematic ed outline is unforgivabe Florists abroad have a frightful habit of "making-up' boutonnieres for mems coats, and these punches of three four violets, a spray of fern and a branch of forget-me-not are seen on the lapels of the men who do not appreciate true fitness single gardenia, tuberose or knot of mignonette is bet ter than one of these horrible mixtures.

That was on April IS, lSto "Worthington was then a representative from Nevada, and that was by no means his first position in public fife. He was a member of the California legislature in 1851, and served together with the recently retired Justice Field.

 "Worthington participated in the adms- sion of three states. He is one of the few persons living who stumped California for Gen John c. Fremont. He was a great friend of Fremont, and was his legal rep resentative in settling up his Mariposa es- tate, in California.
 He was sent by Nevada as her first rep resentative in congress. Nye and Stewart came along at the same time as senators. When Grant was in California, long before the war; he became acquainted with Worthngton. The friendship that sprung up between them in the golden state was severed only by Grants death. "President Johnson appointed Worthing- ton to a South American mission. Later he was recalled and Grant appointed him collector of the port of Charleston, B. C. He is a native of South Carolina. The peo- pie of the palmetto state sent him to con- gross, too.
 'Worthington was in Ford's Theater the night that President Lincoln was shot, and he was a witness at the trials of the as- sassins. He had been with the president at the white house in the afternoon. He spends much time in Washington, and 1t Is always a rare treat to meet and converse with him."
 The names of the pallbearers at President Lincoln's funeral, as given in the Evening Star April IS, 1865, were: Senate-Foster, Of Connecticut; Morgan. of New York; John- son. of Maryland; Yates, of Illinois, Wade of Ohio Corners, of California House Dawes, of Massachusetts; Coffroth. of Pennsylvania; Smith, of Kentucky; Colfax, of Indiana; Warrington, of Nevada; Washburn, of Illinois.

 This settled confidence in Paine's celery compound is not a hearsay belief, but rests in nearly every case on personal use or acquaintance with men women who have been restored to useful health by no other means. The rapid change for the better in color, flesh and expression of the face is so unmistakable that repair of the vast ed tissues might well be called renewal of life.
 The process by which Painos celery com rundown body is not hard to understand when one observes how surely it dlsposes the bowels to act regularly, how it in- creases the capacity to take and assmila e food, and regulates the nerves all over tho body.

BRADSTREET'S REVIEW.
Mild Weather Tending to Check Distribution
 of Winter Goods.

New York, Jan. 14.-Bradstreets tomor- row will say:
 Distributive trade remains rather quiet, mild weather throughout the country tend ing to check distribution of winter gcods. Prices generally remain steady or tss.d upward, except for some grades of iron and orders for spring trade where received are encouraging. Industrial activity is most manifest at the west, where the de- mand for iron is Very large. A feature of the week was the placing of an order by one railway for 100000 tons of steel rails. with smaller orders. aggrcgating in the neighborhood of 25,000,000 tons more Pig iron production is now at an unprece- dented rate, the furnace capacity being estimated at ,000 tons a month. At the south manufacturing activity is a feature. sales of iron being very heavy. A good export demand for cotton and grain at steady prices is feature. At the east a number of strikes against wage reductions are reported or expected in the cotton industry.
 Some woolen mills, working on mems heavy wear goods are refusing orders, their capacity being fully booked. Anthracite coal production, it is hoped, in that trade, will be restricted sufficiently to allow of the advance of 20 to 40 cents per ton being maintained.
 The recent falling off in wheat exports prove. as was indicated last week in Brad streets, to have been due to the usual holi- day quieting, and not to any falling off of demand from abroad. The total exports of wheat (four included as wheaD from the
