Natural Mistake.

According to story told on a GER
tain Mr.. Swadleigh, by his neighbors,
he had notifying adventure. He
has phenomenally large neck, and
lately had occasion to change his laun-
dryman. On the Sunday morning fol-
lowing this action on his part, it was
noticed that he was an unusually long
time making his toilet. He called his
wife, and she went upstairs. "Maria,"
he said, II wish you would see what
is the matter with this shirt. The
sleeves are all wrong, and can't find
any holes for the collar buttons Mrs.
Swadleigh gave one look at it, and
went into a paroxysm of laughter He
waited till she had partially recovered,
and then said: perhaps you will be
good enough to tell me what you are
laughing att" George" she replied,
family, you are trying to put that
shirt on wrong side up! The laun-
dryman starched the wrong end of it."

The lovely vivid green hiddenite, OF

the United States.
The chrysoprase of California, TIE
ruby-colored garnets of the west, the
aquamarines of North Carolina and the
rose quartz of South Dakota are high

Many pearls of remarkable ulster
and color have been taken from she'll

The golden beryls of Connecticut are
Of a clear golden yellow, as their name
implies. From Royalston, Mass, have
been taken aquamarines Of an exquisite
sea-blue color, which are as fine rs
found in any part of the world.
Thousands of carats of rough sap
phires are sent to London from Mon
tana every year, where they are cut
and polished more cheaply than would
be possible in this country. Few Of
these are of as fine coldr as the best
imported stones. however.
TourmaInes, most beautiful OF all
American gems, are found only in
Maine. The mines at Paris, Me-, have
been worked since 1871. The largest.
and finest stone found there weighs
64A carats, is Of a superb light green
color and Is absolutely daWless.

1rOnicQ1 IFS.

If you want to pick flaw in human
ity begin at home. If woman dresses
with taste she ought to look good
enough to eat. If poetry runs in the
veins some poets should be run in by
the police. If man makes a fool of
himself over woman she is usually
satisfied. If a woman is fair that
doesn't prevent her from being unfair
at times. If man lacks enthusiasm
it takes him twice as long to accom-
plish task. If half the world worked
less the other half wouldn't be worked
so often. If man doesn't use his head
in his business he is sure to put his
foot in it. If it wasn't for an occa-
sional funeral lots of men would never
see the inside of a church. If women
were satisfied with natures handiwork
there would be fewer toilet prepara~
tons on the market

Sclopenhauer's Disappointment.

The story is told that friend, in

favorite restaurant, where a number
Of officers were in the habit of meet
ing, noticed that Schopenhauer took a
gold coin from his pocket before eat
ing and laid it on the table beside him..
When the meal was over the philoso-
pher replaced the coin in his purse.
Upon question from his friend, Scho-
penhauer explained: II have been din
ing with these officers for some time, !"
he said, "and about two months ago I
registered a silent vow to give the gold
coin, of considerable value, to some
worthy charity on the very first occa-
sion upon which I should hear these
gentlemen talk of anything but wo-
men, horses and the chances of promo
ton. You see I still have my money"

lilies about her small head, and never
does the smallest jewel sparkle about
her toilet.
In twenty-five years Sarah Bernhard
has, it is announced, been paid nearly
81 ,250, 900 for her exertions on the stage
and she is now fulfilling a compare
lively short engagement which will
add about another $250,OO0 to that
large sum. In the last ten years her
average gains have been 100000 a year;
in the last five, 100000; yet in 1872, at
the odeon theater, she earned only $40
a month. -,
A good story is told of the young
crown prince of Germany. Soon after
Bismarck's retirement the emperor and
der children and some eminent states
men, when the young prince suddenly
broke out with: 'They say, father, that
now Prince Bismarck has gone, you

The duchess of Marlborough and the
duchess of Devonshire probably have

known. Many smart ladies wear
their pearls constantly, although they

the last twenty-five years, increased In

NO CAUSE TO BLUSH.
Pretty Girl Was Rather Too Confident
That She Deserved Admiration

EreICy 1lrl was rather TOO Confd emit
That She Deserved Admiration.
She was very pretty girl, and she
knew it, two things which were GER
tainly all right, but she should not
have displayed her knowledge on that
particular point quite so plainly as she
did. 1t happened in Detroit street
car the other day. She climbed in
down at the square, accompanied by
friend who was both older and palmer
than herself. It happened to be one of
the old-fashioned cars, with long seats
running along the sides, and right OPP
posite the girls sat handsome gentle
man, with big, wide-open gray eyes, at
whom the pretty damsel cast a sweet
ly simpering smirk as she sat down
and arranged herself so that he could
see just how pretty she was. He did
not smile, but he continued to stare,
and at first she seemed to think things
were all right, but before long she be-
gan to squirm and shift in her seat,
and finally calculated to her friend in
a tone that was audible through the
car: REALLY, dear, it's dreadful the
way that man over there stares. It's
all very we'll for man to admire you,
but there really are limits One or
two of the passengers smothered their
smiles and looked to see how the man
took it. But he did not seem to hear
just continued to stare with the same
steady, concentrated gaze, and the
passengers grew interested. The girl
made one or two more remarks and
then suddenly the gentleman sitting
beside the offending one leaned over
and said clearly: Pardon me, madam,
but as you seem to be little put out
with my friend, wish to explain that
he is quite unaccountable, because-he
is totally blind" There was silence
for a moment, while the young lady's
bushes lit up the car with lurid
light, and then amid Unsurpassed tit
ters she arose and got out without
word, followed by her giggling COM

THE ELECTIONS.

Twenty-Five States will elect COVER
nors this autumn, most of them III.
November. Most Of these States Will
also choose legislatures and other State
officers, and in several instances States
which do not elect governors will elect
minor State officers and legislatures.
All the States with the exception OF
Oregon, where the election has already
taken place, will elect delegations to
the house of representatives.
The State and congressional district
conventions which have already been
held afford some idea Of the issues on
which the several political parties will
appeal to the people. The financial
question, which was uppermost two
years ago, is still prominent, and in
number of instances Democratic or
Republican conventions have ttreaf-
firmed" the declarations made by the
national conventions of 1896 in favor
of free silver or of the maintenance:
Of the gold standard. But new ques-
lions, arising from the war, especially
that of possible territorial expansion,
are finding a place in political plat
forms; but there is no definite agree
ment upon them in the conventions of
either political party.
The alliances between Democrats
and the Peoples party, which figured
so prominently in the presidential
election, are being renewed in some
instances and dissolved in others, the
policy varying with the differing de-
grees of intensity of feeling upon the
financial question, and also with the
ease or difficulty of distributing nom
nations to the satisfaction Of the al
lies. In two or three States, as sin
Pennsylvania and to some extent in
New York, the questions of local gov
eminent seem likely to overshadow or
confuse national issues.
A novel feature of the New York
election will be the means which are
to be taken to collect the ballots of
soldiers from that State who are in the
service of the United States. This is
required by law recently enacted by
the legislature, but the soldiers are so
"lue1y SCdIIeIeu tudL IL WILL uOL DC easy
to gather their votes.
The elections will have an impor-
tant bearing upon the composition of
the United States senate. The terms
of thirty senator's, OF whom fifteen are
Democrats, three Populists or silver
senator's, and twelve Republicans, ex-
pire next March, and the places of
most of them will be filled by the leg
islatures which are to be chosen this
year. The legislatures which elected
the retiring contingent of senators
were themselves chosen six years ago,
when the strong movement which car
ried Mr.. Cleveland into the Office of
president for second term prevailed
in several States which are usually Re-
publican. If these States return to
their earlier political position in the
choice of legislatures this year, the
complexion of the senate may be ma
terially changed. In Maryland a Re-
publican has been already chosen to
succeed Senator German

GETTING NEWS For NOTHING.

Thrift Displayed by ChiosEoaaS Cumtag

Two cents does not seem to be large
sum Of money to invest in the pW-
chase OF a supply of the morning news
One would scarcely expect a business
man who is able to rent high-priced
Office to halt at giving couple Of pen
MES for a newspaper. Yet this is just
what any untold number OF reputable
business men do every morning OF
their lives. They enter the elevated
roads and devote half the trip into the
city furtiyely watching for dropped
paper that they may get the news with
out cost. They know from long ex-
perience that half the men who read
on the trains finish the perusa1 Of the
morning sheet before they reach the
stopping station. This fact presents
the opportunity to him who wants news
and is unwilling to pay for it. Yester-.
Gay the writer entered south side ell
eVated train well down toward the
jackson park terminus with Chron-
1cle in his hand. He took the smoker
and sat down to read. Being of an OBJ
servant turn, he soon became aware
that he was watched furtively by a
portly, Well-dressed man just across
the car. He paid but little attention
until ne saw the same man taking in
every other with paper. Then the
writer took mental notes. Before the
Train reached Indiana avenue five men
under espionage quietly folded up their
papers and put them in their pockets:
Inc portly man dropped them with
sigh and gave the writer more atten-
zion. 1t was a poor morning for
fellow hungering for news but too poor
TO dig up two cents. Finally the writ
er carelessly dropped his paper on the
seat beside him. 1t was in the same
seat occupied by the owner, so the
portly man was not nervy enough to
sWoop down upon it. His gyrations
for the remainder of the trip were very;
amusing. He twisted and turned, new
er permitting that paper to escape his
eye, while keeping watch and ward for
any other which might be left without
guardian. But none fell to his lot
and he watched hungrily, like dog
shadowing a bone, until the station at
Madison street and Fifth avenue was
reached. Here the writer began to get
ready to leave the train. AS it slowed
down he rose, buttoned his coat, and
took one step toward the forward
part of the car. As he did so the
portly man made a dare for that paper.
But he never got it, for the writer
turned half around, and. calmly pick
ing it up, remarked: mo, you don't,
my boy. I bought that paper myself,
and while I have no further use for it,
will dispose of it to suit myself. Why
don't you buy like the rest of u.s."
That's none of your business said
the fat man. "You look after your
own affairs and I'll take care of mine
"Just what I'm doing" was the retort.
Il am newspaper man and have been
watching you for three miles. If you
were too poor to buy paper I would
let you have this one. but you are evil
IDENTIFY as well able to buy as l am.
You don't fatten your mental average
