Returns VALUABLE Rings.

Through the honesty of Florence
Jackson, Mrs. John p. Hutchinson, Of
Georgetown, has recovered $4,000 worth
of jewels, which she left at the Inter
state Fair. Mrs. Hutchinson took
seven rings from her fingers and laid
them on the washstand in the club
house She went away without them.
Miss Jackson entered the room inl-
mediately after the departure of Mrs.
Hutchinson. She recovered the jewels
and handed them to Secretary Mah.on
r. Margerum. When Mrs. Hutchinson
arrived home she telephoned to Mr..
Margerum and was informed that her
property was safe. The rings were
two single diamonds, one band of ru-
bies, one band of diamonds, one band
of sapphires and one turquoise and a
diamond and gold hand ring.

noslav provinces OF Russia, says the No
voc. Vremya, there il rapidly growing
trade in the sales Of wives, frequently at
their own desire. The usual cause Is the
extreme poverty of the husband, who can
no longer keep his wife, though it is often
because the wife desires to be free from a
cruel, drunken partner. The trade has be-
come SO common that few markets are held
sidered so binding that 70 case has been
known Of husband demanding his wife
back. Their market value varies from &S

A QUESTIONING;
ROMANCE y REALITY.
BY MISS ANNIE EDWARDS.

I, was wanting, though intellect abound
ed and there were still couple of I'M
certain bachelor uncles between young
Severne and the title"
"And after this?'
after this the disconsolate lover
| was ordered to India. Before a year
was over both uncles died, without
heirs. and, then, suddenly, Mr.. and
Mrs. Hardcastle discovered that Sir
John Severne was the one man in ex-
istence they would have chosen for
their CIementina's husband. Mrs
Hardcastle, should tell you, is d
| femme homme," continues Matte,
"and a femme-homme with theory"
What antagonism, oh, reader, can
equal that Of conyerging creeds? Mat
tie Rivers yearns for the emancipa
ton Of her sex on the broadest scale,
moral and social las the embryo novel
| will set forth, and still toward Merton
Hall, or Girton, toward petticoated
physicians or sweet girl graduates does
she feel like conservative of fifty
years of age!
Mrs. Hardcastle, I say, holds the
ory-that under educated men desire
over-educated wivesl Accordingly, she
has trained her family, her own chill
dren and her stepdaughter alike, for
what may be called the market intel
lectual. You see the result?'
Miss Hardcastle is quite the clever
est person ever met" says Daphne.

Hardcastle is Ignorant
"And none that over-cramming has
not spoiled for her. Lectures here, con-
versaziones there-art, science, litera-
ture, politics all these things have
been her portion since her infancy, and
now, at heart"
Miss Rivers pauses. and glances sig
nificantly across the deck.
There in the moonlight stand the
cousins, deep in talk; the smile that
only Felix Broughton has the power to
awaken Frightening Clementina's face.
sNow at heart she detests the very
mention of lecture rooms, 'ologies, able
editors and learned professors; finds
more to say to a dandy with half an
inch Of brain than she would to the
most cultivated man in Europe; in a
word, is over head and ears in love
with her Cousin Felix"
A feeling Of JOY, too brief, too intense
for her to stop to analyze its source.
thrills through Daphne's heart.
"And-and so Miss Hardcastle will
not marry Sir John Seyerne?" she fall
ters, never lifting her eyes lest. even
in this soft light, they should betray
her secret.
"Not marryy' repeats the authoress,
with laugh bordering on the cynical,
and causing her double eyeglass to fall
by means Of little shake from her
nose. Most undoubtedly Miss Hard
castle will marry Sir John Severne,
with Mr.. Felix Broughton officiating
as best man. She was talking to me
about her trousseau this morning. The
wedding is fixed for August, Elsie
makes the dresses, and the color of the
bridesmaids bonnets-ah Mrs. de Maui
ley! Surely, you will give us another
of your delightful ballads before we
break up"

Writing in recent number Of the
Forum, 0ssian II. Lang says that the
common school is unique in the worlds
agencies of civilization; that it is above
nverything else the most tangible ex-
preston of the honesty and intensity
OF our national belief in the universal
education Of the people. Mr.. Lang says
that the individual schools reveal
more than anything else the amount of
the quality Of the solicitude Of the sew
eral communities for the educational
welfare Of their children, and he adds:
1.-THE school cannot remain below the
standard Of efficiency which the COM
munity supporting it has agreed upon
as minimum. Nor will school be
able to rise much beyond point at
which it can sustain itself by public
opinion. In Judging the character OF
individual schools in the United States.
this condition must be borne in mind.
