very successful. He had promptly re-
alised the sum Of six thousand dollars.
Crossing the line had cured him Of many
early prejudices; he soon saw very clear
~ that the best and quickest way of
making money was the same In the trop-
les a. In Europe--by buying and selling
men. He made descent on the African
coasts and bargained for negroes and
other goods In demand In various mar.
kets. He threw himself heart aud soul
into his business, and thought of nothing
else. He set one clear aim before him.
to reappear In Paris. and to dazzle the
world there with his wealth, TO attain
q position even higher than the one from
which he had fallen.
BY dint OF rubbing shoulders with
many men. travelling In many lands. COM
ing In contact with various customs, his
code had been relaxed. His nOti0ns of
right and wrong became less rigid when
he found that what was looked upon IN
a crime In one country was held up ia
admiration In another. He saw that ev-
cry one was working for himself, that
disinterestedness was rarely to he met
with, and grew selfish and suspicious;
the hereditary failings of the Grandets
came out In him-the hardness. the
Ghiftiness, and the greed OF gain. He
sold Chinese coolies, negro slaves. swal'
low nests. children, artists, anything
and everything that brought In money
He became Il money lender on large
scale. Long practice In cheating the Gus

lous IN other ways.

pretty floral decoration 10 this white
linen two or three blossoms with some
green leaves can be so grouped in each
opening us TO form dainty little bou-
Duet, the flowers and leaves standing
mp as in vase.
As Il more simple, and yet artistic
adornment, a double carnation, with a
spray of mignonette. makes an effec-
Tive showing when combined with two
or three llght-colored geranlum leaves.

border the smilaX is a lovely green,

CARE OF BROOMS.

Brooms are expensive articles, and
we wish them to last as long as pos
sible. When you are buying broom
select one that has tinge Of green
about it, for it shows that the corn
was cut when 1t was young and plant.
Make it a rule that whoever uses the
broom shall hang 1t up as soon as the
sweeping is done, and It will keep its
shape much longer than If it is thrown
behind the door until IT is wanted
again. The springs sold for that pur-
pose are good and can be fastened TO
the door frame or any other conyen-
lent place; or a screw eye may be
screwed into the top of the handle and
the broom hung up on Il nail or hook
when not in use. A new broom should
never be used 10 scrub with. This
advice has been given so often that 1t

What "A Lie Did.

The madness Of suicide as a relief
from mental anguish was wildly illus
trated years ago by an incident which
occurred in an italian town. Moretti,
q tailor, was sent to prison on charge
of fraud. His sweetheart called upon
the police officer to ask how long Mo-
retti was likely TO be confined, and was
told that il would be probably for
many years, The policeman had been
instigated TO say this by the girl
mother, who dlsllked the match. Over.
whelmed with grief and thereby driven
to despair, the poor girl put an end to
her life by poison. A few days later
Moretti was released from custody,
the accusation against him having
been proven false, He returned home
to find his atfianced bride u corpse.
Frenzied at the sight, he, too, de-
stroyed himself. The lie wrought n
double tragedy.
