SHE WAS PLAIN WITH HIM.
Aunt Sally Gave the Minister Some
thing to Think About.

Two women in the early part of the
last century lived in Virginia. They
were noted for their common sense
and many of their sprightly sayings
are quoted and enjoyed to this day
They were both Methodists, and their
house was place of resort for the
clergy of that denomination. OF one
of the women, known as Aunt Sally,
the following story is told:
She had a black silk dress which she
was accustomed to slip on when she
attended church. 1t seems that once,
while conference was being held near
her house, q Methodist minister who
had enjoyed her hospitality and was
saying goodby ventured to remon.
strate against her use Of costly ap-
parel.
"Well, Aunt Sally" said he, "you
have been very kind to me and my
wife during our stay at your house
and we appreciate your kindness. We
shall never forget it. But, my dear
sister. before parting with you 1 must
say that it has troubled my wife and
myself very much to see you a dew
otee to the fashion of the world.
notice with pain that you wear your
silk dress every day to church, con-
trary to the rules of our order, and |
hope that hereafter you will refrain
from such a display of worldly mind
edness. / also hope you will pardon
me for calling your attention to it."
"My dear brother" said Aunt Sally,
81 did not know that my plain black
silk was troubling anybody. 1t hangs
up there behind the door, and as II
needs no washing it is always ready to
slip on when company comes or when
/ go to church, and I find it very
handy.
But, my dear brother, since you
have been plain with me ! must be
plain with you. Since you and your
wife have been staying here and my
cook have some days had to stay at
home and be absent from church be-
cause we were doing up the white
dresses of your wife that she might
look we'll at the conference. Pardon
me for explaining, and when you and
your wife come this way call again.

Timid Woman, Callous Brute.


There is an F street real estate man
whose pretty home is in one Of the
pleasantest streets in the older part Of
town. He is just an ordinary man,
with no particular sympathy for the
fears of nervous women; he has been
married 10 years, and his wife Is one
of those women who fairly revel in all
sorts of painful imaginings and fright
full forebodings. She always makes
her will when she starts on journey,
and she never fails to forgive all her
enemies before she trusts herself be-
hind any kind of horse. There has
not been night in all the 10 years of
her married life that she hasn't either
smelled smoke or heard burglars. Last
week, in the middle of one night, the
husband felt the familiar pinch which
| for 10 years has calloused his arm. He
heard the familiar voice say the same
old words:
"Oh, Charles! Do get up! l smell
smoker
AS usual, for after 10 years Of that
sort of thing even an ordinary man
learns not to argue with a woman, he
climbed obediently out of bed and went
to the window. The street below was
full of people, and fire engine was
putting away at the corner.
ooh, Charles" called the wife. "Is
the house on fire"
Fifteen years have made Charles
feelings as callous as his arm.
YES" said he brutally; thank good
ness the house is on fire at last. Now
perhaps you'll stop worrying."-Wash-
ington Post.

Precious stones That Are Subject to
SerfOus Changes.

The decoloration of precious stones
when they have been exposed to the
air for long time is considered one OF
the most frequent maladies. Among
the colored stones, the emeralds, rubies
and sapphires are those which remain
intact best. Nevertheless they are not
exempt from changes, as has been
proved by many experiments recently
made in Paris. Two rubies Of the same
size and shade were kept for two years,
one in a showcase and the other away
from all light. At the end of this term
a comparison revealed that the first
had become somewhat lighter in color.
The influence Of light makes itself
felt more plainly on topazes and gar
nets. The garnet turns much paler in
short time. while the topaz assumes
a darker shade and even loses the bril-
liancy possessed by it when freshly
cut.
The most sensitive stone In this re-
spect is the opal This stone draws Its
marvellous rainbow reflections from
numerous little clefts which allow the
light to pass and reflect it In different
directions. Often the opal stands the
manipulations of cutting and polishing
well, and all of sudden 1t splits. 1t
suffers always by excess of heat Ow-
ing to its chemical composition 1t is
sensitive to all the changes Of tempera-
ture.
Pearls deteriorate very easily. In the
fire they are transformed into a piece
of lime. Placed in contact with an acid,
they behave as lime or marble would
under the same conditions. 1t some
times happens that during the work. II
the hand touching them is very sweaty,
they lose their luster or break, being
attacked by the acid of the perspira-
ton.
Since pearls are composed of concen.
trio layers of mother of pearl, it is
sometimes possible to repair them by
taking off the outer layer, but this
operation is extremely difficult and
delicate. If the interior colors are in
jured there is no remedy.
Diamonds are less sensitive; still II
is not prudent to take them too near
the fire.-Jewelers' Circular Weekly.

Once upon time King in his sleep
dreamed that all of his teeth fell out
before him, one by one.
He summoned soothsayer and ask
ed him to interpret the dream.
The soothsayer said, 20 king, the
meaning of thy dream is that thy fam
lily and relatives shall die in thy pres
ence, one by one. till all are gone"
The king was very angry at that and
sent the soothsayer at once to prison.
Then he sent for another soothsayer
and again asked for an Interpretation
of the dream.
The soothsayer made answer, 20
king, the Interpretation Of thy dream
is that thy family and relatives shall
die, one by one, and thou myself shalt
outlive them all"
With this answer the king showed
approval and commanded that pres
ent be given to the interpreter, and
that he should be sent home with
honor.-"Persian Tales" in Century.

Death of Rev. DR.. Thomas Van Scoy

Deceased was the youngest of family

From one OF the Helena papers we read
that the funeral was very largely at

paying tribute to the dead president.
High tributes were paid him by the
pastors of the different churches. He
was not only great man as an execu-

strong man in the pulpit. Rev. Van
Orsdell said OF him, Converted when a
boy, well educated. catholic in spirit and
