REWARD OF VIRTUE.
Why One Young Couple Did Not Go to
the Theater

"The joke is on me, and on me hard and
fast" remarked an officer Of the District
of Columbia National Guard whose ex-
penses have been heavy of late and who
is now economizing to the extreme limit
of the meaning of the word. my wife
was very anxious to witness the dramati-
cation of Ben Hur, now being presented
in this city, and I must admit that l was
by means averse to seeing the stage
version of Gen. Wallaces famous work.
However I just forced myself to take the
common sense view of the situation and
decided l couldn't afford at this time to
pay for theater tickets, especially the
prices were advanced. My wife agreed
with me and by the end of last week We
were actually resigned to our fate, so to
speak. and rested content.

OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES IN

The frail-looking young matron stood in
the swirl in front of the fiannelette shirt
waist bargain counter. .
Her arms were fun Of bundles. There
were dark circles under her eyes, caused by
extreme weariness.
Observing her closely, however, you could
perceive that she didn't appear to be inter-
ested in the stacks of fannelette shirt
waists heaped up on the counter.
She just stood there, with a panied,
weary, half-expectant look on her face.
A large woman with huge gilt hoops in
her ears butted into the frail-looking young
matron. almost taking her off her feet, but
she didn't even look around.
A dwarfsh, hatchet-faced woman, seeing
the young matron standing there with ap-
parently no business in hand probably con-
cluded that the young woman was unwar-
rantably usurping floor space that belonged
of rights to fannelette shirt waist bargain
hunters. The dWarfish, hatchet-faced wo-
man, therefore, deliberately stepped upon
the right great toe of the young matron
Still the frail-looking young matron paid
no attention.
She was swooped upon by four girls of
athletic build, and almost tossed into the
air, eager were the skirted athletes to
get at the bargain f1annelette shirt waists,
but when she came down once more on her
feet she only leaned the other limb.

tired looking eyes cast upward.

CARE OF RUBBER PLANTS.
A Way by Which They May Be Made
to Thrive,

''As near as can estimate there are from
25.OOO to 10000 rubber plants in Washing
ton," said prominent florist to a Star re-
porter, land out of this vast number l do
not believe there are 1000 perfect ones.
You will observe in the summer months
that there is a rubber plant standing in
front of a majority of Washington's resi-
dences. but 1t Is very rare to see one that
has not lost its lower leaves. When in it's
full foliage the rubber plant is one Of our
most beautiful house plants. but when it
has lost most Of it's lower leaves. it has
lost much Of it's beauty. Owners of such
plants are continually coming to me asking
What shall l do to prevent the leaves fall
ing off? Some people tell me l give my
plant too much water and others tell me
l don't give 1t water enough. but no mat
ter which advice | follow the leaves will
decay and fall Off
THE following simple plan will prove a
cure-all for such annoyances il 1t is fol-
lowed with due regularity: Every spring
the plant should be repotted in good soil.
each time in a larger pot, and during the
summer months kept in the shady part Of
the house. away from the sun. and watered
daily. In winter the plant should be kept
, in light place in the house, but
each week the entire pot should be
thoroughly emerged in bucket or
tub Of water and allowed to soak over
night, giving the water ample opportunity
to soak to its center. Next morning take
the pot out Of it's bath tub and allow it to
drain awhile and do not give it any more
water for two or three days, then let It
have drink each morning until time for
its next bath. By carefully following this
plan you will be surprised to see the beau
tiful luster which the large, glossy leaves
will show and you will not be annoyed with
the leaves falling off.
"If there are worms in the earth give the
wit
you will see the worms come wriggling out
in great hurry. when they may be easily
removed. A little lime water will answer
the purpose just as well and not injure the
plant. The leaves should be frequently
cleaned with soft. damp cloth and dust
not allowed to accumulate on them Just
try this method on your plant and note
how promptly its health will improve"

AN ARTIFICIAL PEARL.
Produced in the Shell of a Fresh Wate.
Mussel.

A ball of beeswax introduced into the
shell Of living fresh-water mussel has
resulted in producing the most remarkable
artificial pearl in existence. It is about an
inch and half in length, oval in form
and pink in color. and Is now the property
Of the Smithsonian institution.
The ball Of wax was placed near the
hinge Of the bfvalve, which. being kept in a
tank Of fresh water. was carefully watched.
The irritation Of the wax caused the mol
lusk to protect itself by coating the for
eisn- object with a smooth coating Of pearl
stun-the same material a. that which is
used In lining the inner surface Of its she'll
In the case In question the result was an
enormous pearl. Owing to pressure. how
ever, the wax ball lost its spherical shape
and became oval In form.
At the end Of two years the mussel was
taken out Of the tank and opened and the
pearl removed. The wax afterward con-
tracted owing to dfyness, which caused
the pearl shell to crack This accident,
while destroydnG the commercial value Of
the pearl, made It possible to observe the
thickness OF tho nacre0us covering. which II
somewhat greater than that Of an ordinary

NAVAL CONTINGENT FUND.
Some of the Things for Which Money
Was Spent.

A naval officer recently called attention
to some peculiar items in the expense ac-
count of the contingent fund of the navy
for the year 1901. All but 500 OF the fund
was expended. Secret service men were
paid $265 for expenses In recovering stolen
naval property. It cost $40 to transport a
party Of Brazilian naval officers from New
York to Annapolis and back, and s74 to
catch an insane sailor who jumped from
a railroad train in Arizona. The bronze
tablets commemorating the services OF
British Consul Ramsden to American naval
prisoners at Santiago. made at the Wash
ington navy yard. cost 1874. The mud dock
made for the winter berth of the old Mo-
nocacy at Tong Ku. China, cost 81 ,45S and
made big gap In helfund
The privilege OF t,landfns the French am
bassador and visiting French naval officers

HAWAIIAN MONEY.
System Of Coinage in Operation in the
Islands.

Comparatively few persons In the
United States are familiar with the fnan-
cial conditins In Hawaii" said Mr.. A. R.
Serven, chief examiner Of the civil serv-
ice commission. to q Star reporter a few
days ago. Mr.. Serven paid visit to our
new possessions in the Pacific about year
ago and he made a pretty thorough investi-
CATION Of affairs there.

quainted In figures with the amount Of
coinage in circulation In Hawaii. In 1888
King Kalakaua bought up q lot Of silver
bullion and sent 81 100000 worth to the
San Francisco mint. where 1t was coined
into dollars, half dollars. quarters and
dimes of the same weight and fineness Of
American silver coinage.
"The money In circulation In the Ha-
waiian islands Is aboit f2,OOO, 600 Silver
passes at its full Coinage value anywhere
on the islandS on the islands 1t Is re-
ceived at about 10 cents on the dollar. In
paying debts outside the islands the Ha-
Waiian people encounter all sorts OF trou-
BILE as the result OF this.
"Of the silver coined at the San Fran
cisco mint there was 100000 In dollars
10000 in half dollars. $125.OOO In quarters
and 81. 600 in dimes. The people OF Hawaii,
including many business men with whom
talked, were emphatic In their expressions
that the Congress OF the United States
should recognize the silver currency Of the
territory at the same value as American
silver, or should take It UP and make the
coin Of the United States the medium of ex-
change throughout the islands"

Algernon was seen to rise suddenly from

ruthlessly aroused and startled by these
exclamations emanating from their favorite
son:
Curses on the luck!"
"Odds bodkinsr'

And then as the American boy instinct
rose for second superior to the cultiva-

aptly described his own case-pale- blood

clear skin and brighter eye had already
attracted the notice Of his companions
started enthusia stically to recommend APP

COL. OCHILTREE DEAD
4 Famous Raconteur and Bon Wv
ant Is Gone,

Hot Springs Ark. Nov. 26.-Colonel
Thomas Ochntree died yesterday Of heart
trouble. Arrangements for his funeral
will be made by friends in New York.
Thomas P. Ochitree. colonel by birth,
WARRIOR statesman. journalist. diplomat.
promoter bon vivant, raconteur and
friend Of the rich. was as we'll known in
England and on the continent as he was
in Washington, New York and Texas his
birthplace. There are several explana-
lions as to how Tom Ochiltree attained
fame. one, generally accredited being that
Washington correspondent wagered
with friend that he could make any
member of congress known from one end
OF the country to the other within year.
Ochiltree was then a member of the
house OF representatives from Texas. The
correspondent looked over the house and
picked out Ochiltree red hea ded, a good
story teller and fond of notoriety. Then
he began to send to his papers good
stories, some of which were Ochiltree' s
and many of which were not. and it gas
not long before Ochiltree became a per-
sonage to be quoted, interviewed and
sought after.
Colonel Ochiltree was constant fol-
known on pretty nearly every race course
in the country. 1t was said that he in
duced English horse owners to enter their
horses in races in this country and had
a great deal to do with Colonel North
sending consignment of race horses to
this country.
