A PsrsimonIous Astor.

It is said in London that al
though William Waldorf Astor
occasionally INDUCES in vast cN-
penditures, such as the purchase
of Cliveden, or a splendid steam
yacht, he has taken to parsimoni-
Gus ways in small matters. They
declare that on a recent occasion
he even objected to paying 6 cents
each for cabbages, denouncing it
as "a monstrous imposition" on
the part of his grocer. In his Of
fees on the Thames embankment
stands a steel desk, one of the Gu
riosities of which is the petty
cash drawer, always filled with
sovereigns. Mr.. Astor, it is said,
likes 10 feel that he is always in
command of sufficient ready cash
to buy anything that may happen
to catch his eye, and thus from
the couple Of thousand pounds in
his drawer he takes handfuls OF
gold just as necessity may re-
quire. When Mr.. Astor went to
London he kept in his vault at
Couts' bank 100000 sovereigns

Artificial rubies have been made
Of great size by a famous chemist
Of Frankfort, Germany. Accord
ing to our consul in that city, one
has been produced weighing al
most FIVE pounds. Unfortunately
the value is given, which spoils
the story, for it is stated that this
stone is worth at least 5000
When one remembers that ruby
of the best quality is worth more
money than a diamond, the only
deduction that can be drawn from
our consuls report is that the
product of the Frankfort chemist
is only a very poor imitation.
