An Ambiguous TELEGRAM.

A good STORY illustrates the danger
that lies in ambiguously worded tele-
graph dispatches. The wife of a New
York lawyer of large means and ade-
quate knowledge of the value of the
dollar had gone to an auction sale of
laces, of which she is inordinately
fond, and had seen some pieces which
took her fancy. The price was $4,000,
and she hesitated to make the purchase
without asking her husband whether
she should do so. She did 50, and re-
ceived this reply: "No price too
high" Madame promptly bought the
laces, and so struck was she by the
generosity, not to say gallantry, of her
husband that she added to her store
$4,000 worth beside. When her hus-
band returned that evening, she learn
ed that the dispatch he had sent read
this way: mo. Price too high

An Aforetime Anarchist.

Very few anarchists ever become
prosperous and contented citizens
says detective. They have been
some instances, though. I have in
mind one man who fifteen years ago
was very prominent in arachistic cir
cles here. He even published little
paper in the interest of anarchy. The
sheet was so rabid that after the Hay
market riots it was suppressed. This
man was an expert chemist, and his
fame had followed him from Germany,
from which country he had been ex-
lied. He was offered employment at q
salary of $50 a week-more money
than he had ever dreamed of making.
He was frugal in his habits and soon
acquired snug bank account. With
approaching affluence he turned his
back upon his old associates, and
eventually married an American wo-
man. To-day his name is but a men,
Dry among the rchists."-Philadel-

concerns to advertise, beyond the in

Gently advertising, as we know it, has
developed. A retail hardware house
in an Eastern city once found itself
possessed of ten times the number of
articles of a certain kind that it had
intended to buy. As they had been
ordered especially for new hotel, and
were OF peculiar design, there seemed
to be no way of disposing Of them ex-
cept at a merely nominal sum. One
OF the younger men connected with the
concern offered to move them at a
fair price, provided he be permitted to
advertise. The suggestion encoun-
tered much opposition, but finally a
small sum was set apart to carry it
out. The advertisement was drafted
in an attractive way and the people

Finally the house was obliged to send
to the manufacturers for more. When
the next seasons trade opened, the
member of the firm who had most OPP
posed the experiment whispered to the
young man that he had better write
out a few notices land put them in
the papers," From such beginnings
the advertising practice has come.
Thousands of dollars are now spent,
not only in advertising itself, but in
devising clever catch-words, ingenious
phrases and illustrations which will
stick in the memory of the reader, as
well as new general methods. No
doubt money may be wasted in ineffec-

worthless goods. But on the other

MAGNIFICENT IMPERIAL GIFT.

Work OF Art to BE Presented by Kaiser
Wilhelm to King Edward.
Herr Otto Roloff, teacher at the Arts
and Crafts school here, has executed
a magnificent centerpiece epergne at
the express desire and after the design
Of TIE emperor, who intends it as a gift
to King Edward. In the center is an
enormous silver gilt bottle-shaped top
piece, one meter in height, with a
diameter of seventy centimeters, made
after the model of the famous epergne
of King Frederick the First in the
royal palace. Round the centerpiece
between chased laurel wreaths, runs a
circ)et with the inscription in Eng
fish: Emperor William II. to King
Edward VII" On both sides of the
cfrclet are heads of lions, with rings
in their jaws to serve as handles. The
base of the centerpieee is beautifully
decorated with, chased and embossed
work, representing acanthus and lau-
rel leaves and festoons, as is also the
stopper of the decanter, which repre-
sents the kings crown. The CENTER
piece stands upon a wooden socle
adorned with silver gilt rosettes. The
entire pieces lies between curious ar
rangement of corbels shaped gro
tesquely with embossed floral orna-
mentation. Each corbel is of gilded
bronze differently cut and ornamental
In the center OF each corbel is car
touch, upon which are alternately en-
graved the monogram and arms of
King Edward, over which is the royal
crown. 1t is stated that since the
eighteenth century no such exquisite
and artistic workmanship has been
seen in Berlin.-Berlin Correspondence

EN0LAND's AGING PREMIER.

Instance 81 His Curious. Dstechmene-
: %.e from Current Affairs.
Lord Salisbury is said by those who
know to be at once a younger and an
older man since he left the foreign Of
ice. He is younger in that release:
from the absorbing cares and daily
labors of that post has restored to him
a certain gayety of spirit. He is older,
in that he seems unable and unwilling
to occupy himself seriously with that
general control and supervision Of af-
) fairs for which he now has leisure. AS
some one put, it the other day, he was
not too old for foreign minister, but
at his time of life he is not young
enough to become prime minister. OF
the prime minister's curious detach-
ment from current affairs, and of his
occasional lapses into forgetfulness
many stories are being told. One re-
lates to public affairs and to public
occasion. Everyone remembers the
extraordinary attack which he made
last year in the House of Lords upon
the treasury, and his subsequent re-
traction. 1t is. well known that the
retraction was caused by the fact that
Sir Francis .Mowatt very naturally
took the attack as personal matter,
and sent in his resignation according

ton upon Sir.Francis Wowatt. What
ne thought-so the story runs-was
that the permanent head of the treas
ury was still Sir Reginald Welby.

Lords, was news to the prime minis
