which Was His wifes

A certain Turk, according to runor.
was once married to a yelled lady in
white in the presence of the sultan. AS
soon as the ceremony was concluded
the bride mysteriously disappeared.
The groom was led into an adjoining
room, where stood twelve ladies' all
dressed in white, but without wells.
Choose from the twelve" exclaimed
the sovereign, cher that is your bride" "
As the man had never seen her face tie
command bewildered him. eff you
make a mistake" added his majesty,
''your life shall pay the forfeit" The
poor man walked up and down the row
of beauties, but saw nothing whatever
TO aid his choice. "You have only a
minute left" yelled the sultan in anger:
choose at once" Ten of the ladies, he
noticed, gave him nothing else than a
stony stare. One of them frowned, the
other smiled. 'The frowning one," he
thought, '1s my bride, for she express
es her displeasure and impatience ar
my ignorance. NO." he said to him
self, "it must be the smiling one, for
she desires to invite me to her." After
debating the subject in his mind until
his time was up he boldly made Sc
lection from the two. He was success
full. He had regained his bride. Which
was she, the one who frowned or the
one who smiled?

Sources of Color.

An interesting enumeration has been
given of the sources of color. From
this it appears that the cochineaI in
sects furnish the gorgeous carmine,
crimson, scarlet carmine and purple
lakes; the octopus gives sepia-that is,
the inky fluid which the creature dis
charges in order to render the water
opaque when attacked; the Indian vel
low comes from the camel; ivory chips
produce the ivory black and bone black;
the exquisite Prussian blue comes from
fusing horses hoofs and pigs blood;
blue black comes from the charcoal of
the vine stock; Turkey red is made
from the madder plant, which grows in
Hindoostan; the yellow sap of a Sia-
mese tree produces gamboge; raw sien-
ma is the natural earth from the neigh
borhood Of Siena, Italy; raw umber is
an earth found near Umbria; Indian
ink is made from burned camphor;
mastic is made from the gum of the
mastic tree, which grows in the Gre
clan archipelago; bistre is the SCOT of
wood ashes; very little ultramarine, OBJ
tained from the precious lapis lazuli, is
found in the market.

Woman md Her Ron,ss-

1t is the book woman marks that is
the only true index to her character.
This conclusion has been arrived at
after long and persistent study of the
sex. A woman never marks q book
openly, as man does, with flourish Of
marginal notes and references convey
ing the impression that he is conversant
with other books besides this one He
who has pencil always handy will
think nothing of using it on any and
all occasions. 1t is like entering the
holy of holies to read books that some
women have marked. 1t is a violent
rending asunder of the veil which she
hangs before the door of her heart
The marks with which woman scores
her favorite passages at eighteen will
be effaced at twenty, and she must have
changed but little to leave those of
twenty uneffaced at twenty -five.-New

opals of Various Degrees.

There are several varieties of opals
and therefore several degrees of merit.
The precious or noble or oriental opal
Is the supreme. This has all the col
ors, and when these colors are broken
into spangles it is then called the
harlequin opal. Then comes the fire
opal, or girasole, with hyacinth red
and yellow reflection. The former
comes from Hungary and the latter
from Mexico. The common, or semi
opals, are nonopalescent. The hydro
phane, or oculus mundi, is nontrans-
parent, but becomes so by immersion
in water or any transparent fluid. The
cachalong is nearly opaque and of a
blush white color. The hyalite is
colorless, pellucid and white. The opal
jasper, or wood opal, is the petrifaction
of wood, opalescent, but without the
coloring which makes the "noble" gem
so precious.

Getting Rid of the Acid.

An exploring expedition in a remote
part of China had a queer experience,
which one Of the party thus relates: "a
large bottle of carbolic acid had been
broken inside its wooden case. We ex-
hausted our ingenuity in hopeless eff
fort to unscrew the cover. We feared
to carry it farther, as the burning tears
distilled by it destroyed everything
they touched. We dared not throw it
aside lest the unsophisticated heather
should drink it as a cheering or me-
dicinal beverage. We had no time to
wait aud empty it, as the fatal fluid
would only trickle drop by drop through
a chink which had been cautiously
and laboriously excavated with a blunt
hunting knife. What were we to do?
Degrading as the confession must ap-
pear, we had to deposit the torpedo in
the middle of the yard and throw
bricks at it until 1t was smashed"

A Thrifty Bride.

"Its a pity" said the man in the
rough brown suit, "that Johnson mar
ried at the very beginning of his bust
ness career. I am afraid that young
wife of his. with her love for pretty
clothes, will be milestone around his
neck"
Don't you believe it. She'll make
him president of a bank one of these
days." said the man in the new derby,
who had been spending the week end
at the small suburban home of the
aforementioned Johnson. every towel
and napkin 1 saw in the house had the
name of some hotel stamped on it, and
so did the spoons. by Jove! She had
gathered them up on their wedding
journey."-New York Press.

The yau1t of St. Micban...

The most interesting place of pilgrim
age in Dublin is st. Michan's church,
where the organ is still to be seen upon
which Handel is said to have composed
his Messiah" In the graveyard is the
last resting place of Robert Emmet
and the vault Of st. Michan's provides
a more grewsome thrill than the
morgue. The sexton lifts an iron door
and descends a few rude steps, carry
ing light, without which the place
would be pitch dark. You follow and
find yourself in narrow passage, from
which cell-like recesses belonging to
different families branch off. Whether
1t is owing to the extreme dryness of
the surroundings or to some mysterious
property of the place, the process of de
cay has been arrested, and the features
of persons dead for two centuries may
be recognized from authentic portraits.
Perhaps the strangest thing about the
vault is the fact that, apart from the
weird sensation, there is nothing often
sive in the surroundings Tat

watches Slower at Night.


"You know that the vital energies are
1T lower ebb at night than in the day
time," said an old matchmaker. would
you believe that some watches-espe-
cially the cheaper ones-are similarly
affected?
''You know a good matchmaker al
ways wants several days in which tG
regulate a timepiece. That is because
the only way to regulate it properly is
to compare it with a chronometer at
the same hour every day. Otherwise
the variations in the speed of the watch
will battle his efforts.
''The man to whom l was apprenticed
told me this, and thought the idea alb
surd. We were working late one night
and he called my attention to a lot of
watches that were regulated and ready
to deliver. 1t was near midnight, and
every watch was slow. The better
timepieces had Jagged behind some sec.
onds. The cheaper watches were n
minute or more out of the way Next
morning every one of the lot was ex,
actly right.
''The fact is you can regulate watch
to make exactly twenty-four hours a
day, but you can't persuade it to make
just sixty minutes in each of the twen-
ty-four hours. Why this is no one can

JuIes yerne,s Rornono.

The story of Jules Verne's courtship
and marriage is a most romantic one.
Verne was shy young fellow who had
a great dislike to the society of wom-
en-, and it was only his affection for
his brother which led him to go to the
latter's wedding. Verne, however, ar
rived too late and found that the whole
bridal party had left for the church
with the exception of the brides sister,
a charming young widow, who explain
ed the matter. The friendship thus ac-
cidentally begun rapidly developed into
a warmer feeling and ended in mar
riage which may be described as ideal.

that dog is standing round in front

Deck Hand For His Health.

"That man can speak more languages
correctly than you can count on the
fingers Of one hand" said railroad
official, pointing to a deck hand on Il
North river ferryboat.
'He translated the European CORE

Cairo Street warnings.

In oriental countries the recklessness
of drivers of vehicles and their disre-
gard for foot passengers are very mark
ed, but in Cairo they have series of
curious cries with which they warn q
footman. They specify the particular
part of his anatomy which is in dan
ger, as thus: Look out for thy left
shin, o uncle" boy, have a care for
the little toe on thy right foot" 80

And the blind beggar, feeling his way
with the staff in his right hand, at once
