The fascinating study of financial
gain amounts almost TO genius In some.
Avarice was the Inspiration of one Of
our own great men, Franklin, whose
memory is debased by his reputation as
Poor Richard. The masterpiece of
Balzac ishis novel Eugene Grandet.
The Lsio. old Grandet, is a miser whose
financial genius amounts TO the sublime
and which Balzac contrives and succeeds
in making almost picturesque.
Among the most distinguished misers
was Daniel Dancer. Upon the death Of
his father Dancer came into the estate.
which yielded q good income. One Of
his sisters lived with him and imbibed
the misery teachings. Dancer was re-
markable for the style of his garments.
His coat was made Of pieces Of every
hue and texture, collected from the
streets and ash heaps. His garments
were held together by twist Of hay.
He and his sister lived happily in a
howell, the paneless sashes of which were
darkened with boards, rags and papers.
Soap and towels being expensive, Mr..
Dancer occasionally washed in q pond
and dried himself with sand. Three
pounds of coarse beef and Ia dumplings
formed their menu for years. except
upon one occasion, when Providence
changed the course of these viands.
Mr.. Dancer, walking one day in
search of bones and other delicate offal,
found a dead sheep and carried it home
in triumph. His sister received 1t as an
immediate gift from heaven. Time
went on, and the maiden fell i'll. Lady
Temple, generous neighbor, was SC
kind that Miss Dancer determined to
leave her 1000, but she died before
| the will could be signed, and her brother
claimed her fortune as the price of heI
board for 80 years.
He constantly guarded against thieves
and concealed his gold and bank notes
with the spiders among their cobwebs
in the cowhouse and in the holes in
the chimney, covering them with ashes
The light of generosity, however, pene
trated one chink of bis miserable soul
he loved his dog, and while denying
himself bread he allowed his dog pin
Of milk daily with other delicacies. Mr.
Dancers delight in life was to visit thu
holes where his wealth was kept ant
count it,
In his seventy eighth year Dancei
became violently i'll, but refused to Sc,
a physician. Again Lady Temple playet
the good fairy at the wretched howell
attending him to the last and was gen
erously rewarded by his immense for
tune, which he leftto her.
1t would not be difficult task t
show the influence of avarice upon ma
tions; the evils Of society, the corrup
tions of religion and the tragedies o
war have often been instigated and SUP
ported by this base passion. -Detroi

WEIGHTED SILK.
Sometimes Ninety Per Cent of the Ma
terial Is Foreign Substance.

Sometimes Ninety Per Cent Of the Ma
terial Is Foreign Substance.
At the present day the practice Of
weighing silks by means Of astringent
extracts, salts of tin, silicate and phos-
plate of soda and q variety Of other
substances, all more or less injurious to
the wear Of the fiber, has reached such
q height that it is seriously affecting
the trade. This is especially the case as
regards black silk, but fabrics Of other
colors suffer in the same manner.
1t used to be remarked that silk
dress or silk handkerchief would last
lifetime, and this is almost true for
absolutely pure silk. But in much of
the fabric sold at the present day there
is not more than 10 or IL per cent OF
real silk, all the rest being extraneous
matter applied to the fiber in the decep
tive process Of "weighting."
Pure silk, when burned, leaves a
quantity of ash which is always consid-
erably less than per cent, but the ash
left by some weighted silks has been
found to amount to as much as 48 per
cent Of the weight of the fabric, ...,.
The extraneous substances to which
we have alluded are caused to adhere to
the fiber by passing the skeins through
hot baths Of tannin extracts, tin salts,
salts Of iron, anthony, potash, ETC.,
and 1t has been found that when a silk
much charged with such substances is
heated it will not burn with fame, but
will only smolder away, leaving very
large amount of ash behind.
But these weighted silks are. how.
ever, of so com bustible a nature that
some have been known to take fire spon-
taneously. a result due to the gradual
decomposition Of the substances used
for weighing, and disastrous fires have
been traced to this cause. Spontaneous
combustion is liable to break out more
especially in black silks that are stored
in warm. dry places Chambers Jour

Even n Drop of Lemonade IL Sufficient tn

American girls are fond of pearls and
have no superstitious fears that they
! mean tears 1t may not be known to
the possessors Of these gems that pearls
are regarded as "well" or "ill'' from q
jewelers. point of view. Like human
beings. they require fresh air to be kept
alive. In other words. ey must be
worn and not remain toe Is in a clos
ed case. Judges OF go. cGn tell by
looking at them whe ne gem is
"lucido" (clear and heal J, or wheth-
or it is beginning to be al nvalid. Ex-
perts talk of pearls dying, they some
times becoming discolored and turning
black.
A black pearl may be O handsome
stone, but it has not the evanescent
rainbow suggestions to be seen in q
milky or rosy pearl. Italian women,
who know q great deal about pearls,
wear their necklaces and "ropos" con-
stantly. This gives them the light and
air required by the mysterious forma-
tions, and yet they are not exposed to
the chances of discoloration by being
| touched with acid.
1t is easier to keep pearls in fair con-
dition when they are set in q lacepin
or in necklaces 1t is hard to care for
them in finger ring. One must be care
full to remove them not only in washing
the hands. but they should never be
worn when there is likelihood Of being
touched by food or drink.
About q month ago the owner OF q
beautiful pink pearl worn in q finger
ring was alarmed to find the stone was
darkening and becoming covered with
an opaque dark crust. She took 1t to her
jeweler, who pronounced it q case OF
"scale" He told her the delicate sub
stance had been In contact with some
acid, and as she insisted this had not
happened he reminded her that drop
of lemonade would be sufficient to do
the mischief. She then remembered
drinking lemonade while the ring was
ON her ungloved hand.
The only remedy for scale is remov-
al of a whole layer Of the pearl. This 10
an excessively delicate business, which
should be done by an expert workman,
and never undertaken by apprentice
hands. 1t Is costly business and re-
duces the size and value of the pearl
that must undergo the operation. Phil.

SKILLFUL COORs' DUTY.
Should Make Food Taste and Look We

The true science of cookery is to se- lect proper and nourishing ingredients and then prepare them in such a man. ner as will please the taste, and incl dently the eye.
 The most valuable food will not long
 agree with a person if it's taste is dis agreeable. This does not argue that all nice tasting articles are nutritious and nourishing. However it is the duty of all food experts to produce de- Iicious food and from the best possible ingredients, and to have a comprehen- sive knowledge of the laws.of digest ion and assimilation. Grape-Nuts, the new food now on sale at grocers, is thought to be the highest type of scientifically made food thus far produced.
 It possesses the delicate sweet of
 grape sugar, with a new and peculiar flavor of a most winning character, while the processes of manufacture have brought the food to such condi-
 ton that it is absorbed by the system
 in most natural and healthful man. ner.

 One of the most divine traits in mankind is the love for and care of the little folks. To furnish them good nourishing food is to supply the wherewith to build the little bodies into healthy and sturdy men and women Parents who thoughtlessly give coffee to growing children will see the day when they would give any thing on earth to be rid of the regret for the weakness and frequent sick spells of the children, caused by the alkaloids of coffee. Give the children Postum Food Coffee, the famous food drink, which goes directly to nourish and strengthen the child or adult, and when in after days you glory in their strength and ability, you can remem- Der with pride that your intelligence and care about the food and drink in their childhood made the sturdy men and women they are. It is crimipal to be careless. It pays well to give children nourishing liquid food like Postum.
