A Dazzling ArraY.

The hotel clerk told the following story: Charles l.. Davis, the actor, oth- erwise known as "Alvin Joslin, was in the lobby of the St. Charles, in New Orleans, when a man from Chicago stepped in front of him and looked over his head in search of an acquaintance that he supposed was in the hotel lobby. Davis, mistaking the Chicago mans purpose. remarked: "Ahl Isee you ad- mire my diamonds. This one e'-indicat- Ing the stone on his shirt bosom-"cost me $3, 900. These showing his cuff buttons-'' -''cost me $2, 500 each. and my wife has trunkful up in our room.
 The Chicago man did not say much, but that evening, by arrangement with the head waiter, Davis was placed at supper alone at a table where there were several vacant chairs. Presently several men, all commercial travellers entered the dining room, and each one had a large cut glass fruit dish fastened on his breast, while glass prisms hung pendent from each coat and vest button.
 Soberly marching to Davis table, the seven men took the vacant seats, and the Chicago man entertained the actor with "Ah, see you admire our dia- monds. This one'-pointing to the fruit dish-'cost me $3,0O0, 900. These indicating the prisms-''cost $250, 900 each, and we have three car loads like them at the depot waiting to be side tracked" Davis not only chang ed his table, but went to another hotel Louisville Courier J ournaL

Said to Be BnIIet-Proof.

Dr. F. Moreno, the commissioner of the Argentine republic who is now in this country in connection with the ar bitration over the boundary dispute with Chilli, has brought with him to London, 1 hear, a piece of the skin of the mysterious quadruped which Is said to exist in the interior of the territory of Santa Cruz, in Patagonia. Accord ing to the reports of the Indians, 1t is a strange creature, with long claws and a terrifying appearance. impossible to kill because 1t has body impenetrable alike to firearms and missiles. The piece of skin which Dr. Moreno has here fully confirms this description. am told by an expert who has seen 1t, and a close examination and study lead to the conviction that the animal to which the skin belonged was about the size of COW. This specimen will short ly be sent to the British museum, but it may be added that hopes are enter talned that a whole skin, with the skeleton, will before long be obtained for the museum, since this Is one of the main objects of Harry Cavendish's expedition to Patagonia.-London Daily News

GIadstone at Church.

A writer in the London Church Ga zette tells this story about MT. Glad stone: 'T happened to be in a church one Sunday morning when MT. Glad stone came In; 1t was a church he at tended very rarely, so he was quite un- expected. He had much difficulty in finding a seat, for 1t was a free and open church and apt to crowd up dreadfully. A curate deacon, whom we all loved, but whose forte was not preaching, happened to be in the pull pit, and caught sight of the Prime Minister as he hurried in and looked around for a chair. It was almost his first sermon, and, nervous before, this quite upset him. This MT. Gladstone quickly perceived, and, picking up his hat and umbrella, he scurried to the top of the church, and, finding a seat among the children, sat through the whole of long sermon with his hand to his ca paying the most marked at tention to every word. This gave the curate-I am sorry to say he is since dead-mOre courage, but after the service MT. Gladstone took an opportu- nifty of thanking him."

It is no easy matter for a violin maker to rival the famous Stradivarius instru- ments. but this an American maker did and did so effectually that experts pro- nounced his violin a genuine Stradi- varius.
 The successful man was the late George Gemunder, famous violin mak CT of New York His remarkable ability as preparer of violins was known to many distinguished player, such as Ole Bull, Remenyi and Wilhelmj. But he made, so runs the story, his greatest success at the Paris exposition of Eiffel tower fame. To that exhibition he sent an imitation Stradivarius, and to test its merits had it placed on exhibi- tion as the genuine article.
 A committee of experts carefully ex- amined the instrument and pronounced it Stradivarius. So far MT. Gemun- der's triumph was complete. But now came a difficulty. When he claimed that it was not an old violin. but new one made by himself, the committee would not believe him. They declared he never made the instrument and pro- nounced him an imposter. He had done his work too we'll.

The * Stepnother.


"only your aunt is-my stepmother."
 What" calculated Richard. Aunt Marion your stepmother! It cannot be -and-yet-I never knew her lovers name; never heard it. Is that her name, Gertie, are you sure?"
 Here Is the letter; you can read for yourself" she answered faintly. He saw there was no mistake and won- dered how in the world he could recall his words.
 "I am sorry, Gertie," he said at last. of course, you know l never would have told you had I dreamed of such thing; l dare say I exaggerated. never heard Aunt Marion say anything about 1t. All my information came from her sisters, who did not like yOur--her friend. Just forget all about it, Gertie."
 Gertrude was weeping as if her heart would break; but as he finished speak ing she handed him her ring, without looking up.
 What is that for?" asked Richard. aghast. ''I did not mean to hurt you; surely you are not going to punish me like that, when I offended so uninten- tionally."
 "No," sObbed Gertrude, ''it isn't that, only shouldn't think you would want to marry the daughter of such a mother"
 Richard laughed as he took the ring and placed 1t on Gertrude's finger again. What silly child you are!' he said fondly. Tt wouldn't make any differ ence to me If every relative you had was in the penitentiary. You would not be responsible for their sins. Be sides, suppose your mother thought she had every right to try and win your father. He was not engaged to my aunt, you know, and they say all is fair in love and war. So think no more about it, and we will never mention it again."
 Gertrude never did mention 1t again. but she thought about it many times; and when MT. Foster brought his wife home he found everything arranged to his liking.
 He had said to her: "The boys will be all right, and if Gertrude does not treat you we'll let me know"
 "Never, James," replied Mrs. Foster, ''fOr you might be tempted to tell her the history of the years that are gone, and children should reverence their mothers memory, which I doubt If she could do, knowing all"
 But there was no trouble Gertrude | treated her stepmOther with the ut most respect and courtesy, and be- | haved in such a way that Mrs. Foster actually dreaded the girls wedding day.
 As she watched the carriage that con tained her nephew and his bride drive | down the maple avenue, now resplend- | ent in its autumnal colorings, she sigh | ed-then turned toward her husband, | who was standing near. '1 never thought to have loved Louisa's child so well" she said.-EXchange

Revival off Hye r uIic Mining,

The latest plan for promoting the re- yival of hydraulic mining in California is brought forward by one J. A. Fileher, of San Francisco, who proposes to transport the tailings from the mines by pipe lines. and to use the sand and gravel for filling in the tule lands, or low marsh lands, along the Sacramento and San Joaquin rivers. The inventor does not enter into any special details of his scheme, and, of course, he gives only very vague and general estimates of cost and power required. On one point he Is clear, however, and that Is that modest appropriation of $5.00O,- 900 or $6,OOO,0OO will be sufficient to give the plan trial and show It's mer- and Mining Journal

Drummond Wa. on Top.

Professor Henry Drummond had a boyish spirit when a man, and at the age of 26 invented a game for some friends at a country house one rainy evening He said ''They play it in America with bowie knives Four men are locked in a dark room, each in a corner. and the survivor wins. We'll do without the knives; the door and the shutters shall be shut, each of us will stand in a corner. and the first who gets on another mans back will be the winner.
 Dr. Smith was in the game. and he says it was the most exciting one he ever played Nobody stirred from his corner for 20 minutes Then heard a scuffie between two of the others, felt my way to fling myself on both of them. when Drummond bounced on me, and we all rolled in a heap he, of course. on top, as he always was

SANS SMELL-SANS TASTE.
Man with His Nose Closed Cannot Tell
 Tea from Coffee.

Tea from Coffee.
 It would now seem from experl- ments, which have been carried on in the University of Iowa, that we do not taste many of the things which we eat at our daily meals. It is asserted con fidently that we merely smell them. If the nose is tightly closed in the ordin- ary man and he is blindfolded, he will not be able to distinguish coffee from water or a weak solution of quinine This has been proved by experiments made on many persons. Common cOf fee was said to be water, 1t was also said to be quinine. Water was said to be coffee. Tea was called coffee. TuY- key was called pork. Raw apple was called grape juice. Malt extract was sherry wine. Lard was pronounced butter. In short, experienced persons were unable to distinguish many com mon foods and drinks when sensations of smell were removed, and the con clusiOn was reached that person might even practice economy In eating
 
 | substituting lard, pork and beer for butter, turkey and yenison, while If the further precaution was taken to close the nose, very weak solution of quinine would pass for good coffee and vinegar for the most costly wine.
 The experiments which led to these conclusions were carried on by Prof. G. T. w.. Patrick, of the University of Iowa, who has just communicated some of the results of his work to the American Psychological Society. Prof. Patrick was enabled to attain great ac curacy in his work by the fact that one of the persons he eXperimented upon was an anOsmic-that is, absolutely de void of the sense of smell. He was en- abled thus to determine which sensa- tiOns were those of taste and which were smell. He eXperimented also on normal subjects, and some of the re suits were surprising.
 There are only four simple taste sen- sations, namely, sweet, bitter, sour and salt It is said by some that there are only two, sweet and bitter. All other sensations which are commonly called tastes are complex results of sensation of smell, touch, temperature and sight. The means by which we distinguish almost all of our common foods and drinks is not the sense Oi taste so much as it is the sense of smell, touch, temperature and sight. All the fine differences by which We distinguish the various fruits, meats and drinks depend not upon taste at all, but upon these other senses. Pur, sensations of taste add hardly more than a certain emotional element to the complex sensations.
