1t cannot be denied that sisters
make charming hostesscs whenever
one finds them keeping house to-
gether and Hospitality Inclined. For
one thing it is a gain to have two
hostcsses instead of one, and sisters
are accustomed to one another and
can understand cacL other without
a word and instinctiyely feel what Is
going on. They can talk together
of quite different things and yet
keep tune. Many sisterly shrine
must occur to each one of us, with

it is in Brighton or in London, past
or present, or in the murky Man

No Key Needed.

Here is a story which has not
been vouched for; A travelling man
showed a watch to a friend in CEN
trail Missouri the other day which,
he said, was over 100 years old.
"My grandfather bought this watch
when he was a boy" the travelling
man said. Zone day when he was
in tree getting some apples the
watch slipped from his pocket and
was swallowed by calf. When the
calf was killed, three years later, the
watch was recovered and was found
to be still going 1t is supposed
that the watch lodged in the calfs
throat, and the action of the mus
Giles when the animal swallowed
wound it up. The watch lost just
three seconds in he three years
that it was in the calf's throat. -

A CLEVER SWINDlE.
The Sharp Trick That Was Played on
London JeWeler.


There is one firm of jewelers. in
London which has the best of rea-
sons for remembering how efficient
a detective may be in certain cir

entered the shop and asked to be
permitted to see some iewelry, moth
ing very expensive, which he could
not afford, but something that he
might ask his wife to accept, say
so or $50. Charmed, Of course,
the obliging shopman displayed his
wares, and the bishop, with his car
riage at the door, did not hurry, but
was persuaded eventually to take a
bracelet at 800. He produced a
note for 800. That happened to
be all the money he had with him.
1t seemed all right to the shopman,
but the good bishop, a stranger to
the firm, was scrupulous. "Send it
along to the bank and have it ex-
amined while wait" he said. 81

ton of physicians has been called
to one of the most remarkable eases
in medical history.
McGrath was % years old. HIS
face possessed the freshness oil
youth, his body had the appear
ance of being well nourished, yet
an autopsy disclosed that the vital
organs of the youth were those OF
an old man. McGrath's condition
was not due to Incorporate habits.
The surgeons say that anatoml
cally he was % years old ext, rnally,
but 80 internally.
The kidneys were shriveled and
contracted, the liver and the heart
were enlal ged and the arteries so
hardened that the blood flowed
through them with the sluggish
ness characteristic of old aye.
McGrath was employed as =
brass polisher, and he complained
for severa. months previous to his
death that he suffered from in
