mo, there wasn't much romance
about Ephraim," said the postmaster,
stroking his beard thoughtfully.
Ephraim had been the great man of
the town, and his death, the day be-
fore, had called out "reminiscences to
which the postmaster seemed anxious
to Contribute. 81 don't spose If you'd
billed Ephraim or put him under the
stone breaker you could have drawed
tear out. of him. Never saw him
laugh. Likely enough he never kissed
his wife or one of his children.
And yet he WASN'T mean man or
hard man. l cal'late he often laughed
and cried inside, but 'twasn't his way
to show It.. Aud he was a natural-born
business man, up and down, top to toe,
and that partly accounts for it, too.
Dye ever hear how he pupposed to
Aunt Eleanor, his wife? Happens L
know, because she and my wdfe was
cousins, and the perceedin' tickled
Eleanor so't she had to tell of it.
"Ephraim wasn't ever talkative
feller, and he didn't go round much
with tn other young folks. Jest stay

work, as it ware, but he was well
thought of by everybody, and Eleanor
and her pa and ma always made him
welcome.

And then Ephraim speaks up all to
once, and he says:

A QUEER OCCUPATION.
Women in New York Earn Good Salaries
as Jewel caretakers

Never intrust yourjewels to any
one but professional caretaker-that
is, if you have mary thousand dollars
worth of them. Otherwise it doesn't
30 much matter
To keep a yarietrcfj jewels Brilliant
and safe in setting requires con-
siderable experience. There are sew
eral women in New York, says The
Herald, who earn good incomes
among the wives Of millionaires BY
taking care Of theirjewels
During the season the caretakcr
makes a round of jewel boxes once a
week. She carries cleaning appliances
with her and viii often,spend several
hours overa singlecollsetion shedi-
rects what kind Of case shall be used
for them, in what part Of The house
obey are to be kept, and similar de-
tails Caretakers arc. Of course, heav-
lily insured, ard their compensation
is correspondingly large.
Before the caretaker even touches
the jewels She fastens a long apron of
chamois skin about her waist. Many
gems are only handled with gloves.
One Of the first offices Of the care
taker is to see that jewels are protect
ed by proper cases The elaborate vel
vet and satin-lined cases in general use
are discarded The Jewels should be
wrapped in jewellers tissue paper,
packed in wool and laid away in air
tight compartments. Jewels are af-
tectcd seriously by tde fumes from
furnaces, sewer gas, moisture and fre- |
ouently by sea air.
The jewels are tested with sharp |
instrument to find iftheir settings are |
secure. The jewels looked after by |
one of these caretakers never drop |
from their settings at unexpected mo-
ments. Throughout these examiha-
ions the caretaker uses a powerful
glass. The gold or silver
are then thoroughly |
cleaned with jewellers rouge, dried
md polished. Any accumulations Of
lust, grease or soap on the stones arc
removed with the aid Of a
rery fine camel's-hair brush. They
re then dipped alternately in soap
uds and cologne until thoroughly
.leansed.
The colors of many gems are affect
d by water or cleansing fluids. In the
ase Of the turquoise the only safe
luid is alcohol mixed with whiting.
Turquoise is frequently discolored by
he use Of water. The caretaker cor
ects this by soaking them in stale
'eer to restore the pure azure tone.
Emeralds require very delicate
as do most green stones.
they are cleaned by being buried III
bsorbent cotton saturated with alco-
oil. They are never rubbed, but are
flowed to remain in this bath until
i the alcohol has eyaporated.
Pearls are cleaned with naphtha
nd choloroform. They should only
e rubbed with the hand. The heat
human flesh keeps them in good
ondition. About once a year pearls !
Mould be given special treatment
) keep their skins in good condition.
o do this the cleanser lays them in
cup of warm wheat flour or lukewarm
resh milk.
The caretakers are excellentjudges
the value of stones, and their serv-
ees are frequently in demand when
lew jewels are to be bought.

FOUR BEARS AT A SHOT.
A Huntsman's Remarkable Luck UP in
the Maine Woods


the Maine Woods
About seven years ago Mr. Withee
was presented with two fine hounds,
and wishing to Try their training and
their grit he took them out 10 do alit-
tie bear hunting, says the Maine
Woods.
The first morning Withee let the
dogs out for a run while he was get
ting the breakfast, expecting tA6m to
be back in a short time. When break
fast was over the dogs had not re-
turned, so taking his gun Mr. Wlthee
started out in the direction they had
taken. After travelling about a mile
the faint barking of dogs could be
Iheard and itwas then plain why the
dogs had not returned They had
scented game and were in pursuit
The sound Of the barking led him far
Iup the side Of mountainand soon he
came in sight of the dogs standing
around the upturnod roots Of a tree,
Mr.. Withee crept up cautiously UNI
| til within about Is feet Of a cave that
was near by and then a black, shaggy
head could be seen just above the
roots, Taking good aim, he fired his
44-ealiber and awaited results. After
several minutes he wentup to the cave
and what he saw there gave him
shock from which he has never recoy'
cred. Two bears lay dead and tive
more were so stunned thata few quick
passes with knife settled them.
For the four bears Mr.. Withee re
ceiyed SEQ bounty, $27.50 for theil
hides and SAP for the bear oil, making
| $50 so for one days hunt.

have experimental until ! am
thoroughly convinced that yellow
corn does affect the plumage of
white fowls, just to what extent l
am not able to say, but last year
demonstrated the fact that pen of
females fed on yellow corn could be
cut point in every section for color
while females in another pen fed on
white corn were cut from II to 3
points in all, or from h to h in
every section.
A neighbor Of mine, well known
breeder of White Rocks, each year
has stock raised in the country and
brought in in the fall. l happened
to be at his place when some were
being brought in. They were any
thing but fit to show, and why?
Because of yellowish tinge in the
feathers. This gentleman feeds
nothing but white corn in his own
yards, ard he said to me: "Look
at those birds that have just been
brought in from the country. Now
look at that flock over there that l
raised here. Both of these hocks
from eggs out of the same iden-
a'N 'atched about the same
line, in fact some ,, 49, -

The birds we're of the same
strain; one flock fed on yellow corn
n the country; the other flock fed
IN white corn with of course the
,ther rations that go with it. The
country raised flock as yellow as
saffron, the other white like milk.
What made the difference? Was it
simply taking them in the country
or was it the feeding ofyellow corn?
There was not much difference
from a practical standpoint but a
difference of from 3 to S points If
placed in the show room, have
no doubt but that there may be
reason other than the feeding OF
yellow corn that will cause that
condition, but / believe firmly that
in many cases where the cause is
shouldered on some particular
strain that it is the feeding instead
of the strain,
can take Ia White Wyandotte

during the moulting period and her
feathers will come IN yellowIsh, OF
creamy color, and l can take the
same bird feed her white corn dur
ling the moulting season and hel
feathers win come in white. have
