"Oh, you men! You never know any

'Why, Honor Beaumont and Capt.
Faulkner, to be sure"
"Are they engaged to be marriedT
"Of course they are, and he hasn't
penny, while she has mil-l-ion."
"Well, he's a very handsome fellow,
and she is-passable."
"They say he cheated at cards, that
he's in everybody's debt, and is nothing
short Of mere adventurer. And yet
Honor Beaumont has accepted him! 1
say it's really too bad of her."
l had known Faulkner for some
years, and l am bound to say l had
very little to urge in his defense. He
had never been actually caught in any
nefarious proceeding, but it was known
that he had run through most of his
friends, and that he was wonderfully
lucky at faro, and that he was anxious
ly looking for an heiress.
The wedding took place, and about
four months afterward Captain and
Mrs. Faulkner were back in town, ap-
parently the happiest people to be
found in all Belgravia.
AS for Faulkner, he seemed COM
pletely changed. There was a manli-
ness about him that one never noticed
before; his eyes wore q frank express
sion that was truly refreshing to see.
He was clearly devoted to his wife, and
they seemed to perfectly understand
and trust each other. What could it
mean?
Gradually | got to really like Faulki-
ner. He made splendid host, was a
pattern of the domestic virtues, and i'm
pressed one as being the soul of honor.
Our acquaintance finally ripened into
a close friendship, and the intimacy de-
veloped until at length found myself

to look upon very much in the light in

"Shall l tell you the story of our

"That's just it-it Is sacred subject,
as you will see."
He lit his cigar and proceeded:

A Colonia Juarez, chihuahua, Mexi.

World thus describes the model town
in which he lives: "Ours is a town Of
about 1000 inhabitants. Eleven years

the dwellers-no millionaires, no beg.

mountains 5000 feet high. Fifteen
miles of hills and hollows part us from
the nearest railroad station. We have
no saloons, no gambling, no smoking,
no profanity, no round dancing at our
socials. We have one police officer.
Nearly every man owns gun. Our
academy building has 5000 square feet
of floors and $50 students. If you can

New Orleans Times Democrat.
"Most people suppose" said an ex-
Californian, "that the vertical row of
hieroglyphics on Chinese laundry
check are merely SO many numerals.
AS matter of fact they are nothing
of the kind, but constitute brief and
spicy description of the individual who
left the bundle. If you will take the
trouble to notice it, you will see that
the laundryman always goes through
exactly the same procedure. He takes
the package, gives you swift, eompre-
hensive glance, and then proceeds to
decorate slip of rice paper with from
two to five India ink chicken tracks.
What he has written is probably some
thing like this:
" Fat foreign devil who resembles
pig; squinty eyes and wart on left side
of nose
"You carry around this flatter ing
pen portrait, innocently imagining
that it reads No. 4.11-44,' and when
you call for your wash you will find
that the Chinaman who takes the tick
ct invariably looks you over, making
mental comparison, before he reaches
for the bundle. A Monaghan friend
of mine, out in Frisco, put me on to
the scheme, and I took the trouble of
ascertaining whether he told me the
truth. I got laundry slip, copied it
with microscopic fidelity and submit
ted it to several expert native transla-
tors. They all agreed that it ran
something like this:
" Ridiculous old man; very pomp-
Gus; bald head like speckled egg
"You will observe that my hair
grows rather high on my forehead and
I have few freckles, although moth
ing to justify such an insulting descrip-
ton. However it proved the point.
The next ticket I got declared was
an elderly gentleman resembling Yum
Tai, the wind god,' which pleased me
immensely until 1 persuaded native
curio.dealer to show me a statuette OF
the deity. I then wanted to murder
the laundryman. The Chinese are a
deep people, boys. They look demure
as guinea-pigs, but all the while they
are sizing us up and having a big laugh
in their sleeves"

Alabama is generally believed to
be derived from synonym of Land

claim the State name originally meant
q glade or thicket OF trees.
California bears the name the Fran
ciscan monks gave to Cortex, and is
explained as meaning "hot furnace"
It is probable the name was taken from
a romance published in 1910 describ.
ing California as an imaginary island
Astounding in gold and jewels.
Illinois took its name from the Him
OILS tribe of Indians, who were, in turn,
really the Illini or the Iliniwok, the
men,"
Oklahoma means "The Beautiful
Land" Strange to say, its chief char.
acteristic is rolling prairies.
The name of Oregon is derived from
the Spanish oregano, wild msjorum
or "wood sage" which grows abund'
antly in that State.
Rhode Island may have taken it!

Rhodes, or from the name of an early

Mildew may be removed by applying
soap and chalk mixed.
Salt fish is quickly freshened by be-
ing soaked in sour milk.
For cleaning bamboo furniture, use
a brush dipped in salt water.
Dried hams, tongues, ETC., should be
stored in cool, dry place-never in a
cellar.
A little salt placed in the reservoir
of a lamp will make the flame steady
and clear.
Save the old silk handkerchieis, as
they make good busters for China and
bric-a-brac.
Sugar is good cleanser; added to
the soap it increases the lather and re.
moves dirt and chemical stains.
An excellent liniment for bruises is
made by taking equal parts of lauda-
mum, alcohol and oil of wormwood.
Always mend kid gloves with q fine
cotton thread rather than silk; it looks
better and will wear longer, as the silk
cuts the kid.
A good mucilage is made from equal
parts of gum arabic and gum traga-
canth dissolved in sufficient water to
make a thick paste.
Ammonia will clean windows with

After rubbing them over with cloth

they will positively glisten.
For the nails, use teaspoonful of
lemon juice in cup of tepid water !;
this not only whitens and removes all
stains from the nails, but loosens the

excellent tooth wash; it removes tar.

Orange juice is good cleanser of

cleansing tan shoes, the inside of ba.

cloth and then polish with a piece of
flannel. Patent leather shoes are the
most difficult of all to keep in order /;
never use backing on them; a damp
sponge rubbed over them and an ap-

them soft and bright and prevent
their cracking.

How to Make Fruit Syrups.

Plenty of cool, refreshing drinks OF
the right sort are as essential to health
as they are to comfort during the sum-
mer months, and the housewife
should as conscientiously provide q
variety of these as che does the food
for her family. Indeed, not a few of
them are meat as we'll as drink.
No homemade beverage is at once
90 beautiful and delicious as those
made with fruit syrups and shrubs,
and every housewife should provide q
few jars of each in the season of small
fruits. Properly made and stored,
they keep as we'll as canned fruits, and
are fine for flavoring ices, creams, GUS
tards, and various kinds of buildings
and other desserts. They require
more sugar than jellies, and unlike
that conserve should be made of per.
fectly ripe fruit. Use granulated
sugar, earthen or granite ware vessels,
and wooden or silver spoons in all the
various operations. When done, they
can be bottled, but are more convent
ent when kept in pint-size fruit jars.

A $4,000 Bicycle.

The costliest bicycle in the world
has just been finished at gun factory
in Vienna. 1t will cost 100000 gull
den, which is little more than $27,-
600. The owner is rich South Afri-
can diamond king and mine owner,
who will present the machine to his
wife on her next birthday. The frame
alone cost $500 gulden, and at the
Vienna Exposition it was admired by
thousands. The South African mil
lionaire was so struck with the exqui-
site beauty of the wheel that he
bought it and had it inlaid with pre-
cious stones and diamonds on every
possible part.

daughter of millionaire drove up to

and selected turquoise and diamond
ring valued at ESQ. She made out
her check for that sum and passed it
to the assistant. The alert young
man glanced at it and then looked in
quiringly up at the young woman and
said: There is some mistake here,

and asked if the check was not for the
right amount. She was told it was,
but. But what? she exclaimed
frigidly. DO You mean that my
check is not acceptable? The assist
ant acknowledged that he knew who
the young lady was, but explained
that the check was not made out Just
as it should be. And he handed it
back. The girl ran her eye over it,
and then turned deep crimson. oh ?

proceeded to make out another check.
