A story of Whistler.

The Boston Transcript says: "a d.
yerting anecdote is told of the boyhood
of Mr.. Whistler, the greatest modern
impressonist. He was apprenticed to
some engineers who were etching elab-
crate maps on copper. One day his
employer asked him if he also could
etch maps on copper. oh, yes. can
etch,' promptly answered young Whis-
tier.
LAS a matter of fact he had never
used an etching needle in his life.
However, they gave him the copper,
and he set to work, making very fine
and beautiful map. But round the
edges of the plate. which when bitten
in with acid are always stopped out, he
etched some characteristic little sketch
es of the different members Of the
firm. including very humorous one of
the chief himself
Shortly after he happened to go
away for week or two for his holt
day Meantime the plate had been
bitten in and printed with all of the
dreadful little caricatures that he had
forgotten to stop out appearing in star
Ting prominence, the sketch of the
chief being especially remarkable be-
cause of it's great resemblance to that
gentleman. who was SO enraged at the
indignity of the thing that Immediately
on Whistler's return he dismissed

1.-THE gold brick swindle," said a
business man quoted in the New Or
leans Times-D Democrat. lis one of the
most plausible propositions ever adj
vanced and has landed some of the
cleverest business men i'll the country.
A number of years ago it used to be q
common thing for banks in the west to
buy gold bricks<-l mean real ones
and frequently there were the best of
reasons fer keeping the transaction
quiet.
1T often happened that the owner of
some partly developed mine would
make an unexpected strike and wish
to buy the adjacent property. Natu-
rally he would want to hold back the
news of his discovery until he secured
the land and if he had any bullion to
dispose of would make the sale as
quietly as possible. The banks be-
came accustomed to deals of that kind
and We're consequently pretty easy
prey for the gold brick swindler who
turned up With a precisely similar sto-

Beds and Sleeping.

a German doctor has been investi-
eating the question of beds, and the re-
suit Of his labors has been lately given
to the world in the pages of German
journal. In the first place, to convince
mankind of the Importance of his sub
ject, the doctor reminds all mankind
that we spend from one-fourth to one
third of our lives in bed, after which
he proceeds to advise the world on the
healthiest kind of couch and the most
sensible manner of reposing thereon.
A hard bed appears to be the best,
and it is laid down that children from
sleep on these hard beds. Soft beds
are too warm and do not admit suf1i-
cient air. Even in the case of the hard
bed the sleeper ia warned to see that
his covering, whether wooden or cotton,
is not so heavy that the body is kept
overwarm and fresh air is excluded.
This ventilation, according to our au-
will middle aged people say when the
man of science bids them dispense
with their pillows? Pillows, he de-
clares, are evils, and it is right that we
should sleep with limbs uncramped on
perfectly horizontal plane. Knowing
the weakness of human flesh, however,
the doctor declares that if pillows are
retained they should be neither too soft
nor too thick.
A point on which most people will
agree with this authority. is the neces-
sity for constant (the doctor asks for

ROYAL LOVE MATCH.
Results In wedding of Princess Mer
cedes With 81 Bourbon Cousin.

Although there is 2 general and well
founded belief that most royal mar
riages are arranged to suit the con-
yenience of politics rather than by Dan
Cupid, occasionally the little blind god
gets a chance at princes and princesses.
This seems to be the case in the mar
riage Of bona Maria Mercedes, princess
of the Asturias and elder sister of the
young king oil Spain, and her distant
cousin, Don Carlos de Bourbon. son of
the pretender to the throne of Naples.
Tie match was strongly opposed by
the cortes, or parliament of Spain. on
the ground that the princess should
wed some one who would add strength
to the dynasty, which needs all the
support it can get. This Don Carlos
assuredly cannot give. He is not the
celebrated Don Carlos, the pretender
to the Spanish throne. but is distantly
related to him. His family have. how
