Thirty years ago, when visiting San
Domingo in an official capacity, he was
taken in hand by newly appointed
Minister. who undertook to show him
around. Coming to the courtway OF
a prominent building, the guide point
ed to a doorway and remarked, as
complacently as if he were indicating
the name of a street: That is where
our last Emperor was shot"
In the course CT his sojourn he came
upon an aged man, held in high esteem
by the community because he had
been witness of a quite exceptional
number of revolutions and lived to
tell the tale.
Hoy many Lave you seenF the
visitor asked.
Forty two" the patriarch modestly
replied.
1t appears that when a boy the Old
man had seen Louis XVI. and Marie
Antoinettn carried to the guillotine-
Emierating to San Domingo the tale
of revolutions ran rapidly up till it ex'
ceeded forty.-The Cornhill.

EranLIin'S Idea of Moro

Seven-year-old Franklin is one Of
those bright and alert youngsters
whose fathers would like to tell all
about them if they dared, but who
fear the wrath of their fellows and
hold their peace. Franklin goes daily
to a Camden On. j. school with his
older sister, who is in the eighth grade
and knows lot about ancient history
and things which make wonderful
stories for the lad to hear. She was
telling him the other day all about
wicked Nero, who fiddled while Rome
burned, and the boy was duly i'm
pressed. At dinner that night, in order
to discover whether the knowledge
impaired had taken root, the sister
asked the boy:
"Who did l tell you about to-day?"
"Nero" readily replied the young
learner
"Who was he?" was the next ques-
ton.
There was a bit of hesitation, but
finally the answer came out with a
twinkle:
"Oh, he was a bird"
"Well, what did he do?'
cate worms" was the unexpected
reply, which gave the tableful of din
ers something OF a shiver.-Philadel-
phia Record.

1t used to be the hall mark OF the
well dressed woman that every portion
of her attire matched in color, so that
dress, hat, gloves presented a perfect
harmony. 1t is no longer the rule. A
revolution has been silently effected
this spring, and there was evidence OF
it at the first race meeting at Long
champs. Variety is now the sign OF
ultra smartness. The idea is to get
as many contrasts in tone as possible,
to make ones self walking concert
of discord. For instance, it is the last
cry of elegance to wear green nat
trimmed with velvet of violent hue
and large roses of tawny color. This
last tone, too, may predominant III
the hat and contrast with gowns OF
reseda green or steel gray. 1t is not
given to every one to support this KIND
of thing without flinching. But the
fashion has this advantage-many peo-
pie are we'll dressed without knowing
it.-Paris Letter to Pail Mall Gazette.

"She will be all right now, nurse"

Before Elizabeth could answer a
nurse came in with a florists boy in
her hand and a bright smile OF her
face.
Elizabeth cried out in joyous sur

her eyes went beyond them to a letter
that lay partly hidden in their leaves.

Shortage Reported in the Production OF
vegetable Ivovy.

Shortage Reported in the Production Of
Vegetable IVory.
The production Of vegetable ivory
during the past season has been very
small ana very heavy purchases OF
the available supply have been mace
by Germany, the result Of the two
combined influences being that me
price of this product has been 'Hi-
yanced from twenty-five to thirty per
cent during the last ninety days.
Though perhaps not one person II
thousand is aware Of the fact, nearly
every aan ana boy in the United
States is daily wearing vegetable"
ivory. as the greater pare Of the coat
ana vest button supply Of the world
is made from this product. The nuts
from which it is made grow wild in
tie forests Of Colombia and Ecuador
and are imported into til. United
States in quantities varying from
100000 to 100000 pounds year
Each pound makes several hundred
gross of buttons, which are dyed to
match the color Of the CLOTH with
which they are to be used.
The nuts grow rnon a tree somewhat
similar to the p&., HE fruit growing
in pod, larger than a.lJ@5anUt which
contains large number Of nuts, from
the milky inside of which is produced
the hard substance used in making
buttons. The nuts are gathered by the
South American Indians and taken i'll
boats to the nearest transportation
point. The market price here is from
two and a half to four and half
cents a pound.

The time may come in that far-fabed land
Which we are taught death opens to our
view,
When /, with fearful eyes, shall vainly

The look Of eyes that ever understand,
The kiss from lips whose kiss and word
are true.

Then" and he dropped her hands
and turned away Il had better go.
l was a conceited fool. Forgive me.
My love for you has carried me too
far. Goodbye, Elizabeth"
Her acting had been a success, too
much of a success, for not only had he
gone away with the idea that she was
Indifferent to him, but she had forced
him to despi, her for her levity. Yet,
after all, it was better thus; it would
be less difficult for him to cast her out
of his heart.
She would write g letter and confess
all. If she lived, it must be destroyed;
if she died, it must be delivered.

she wrote, "and am now breaking my

said what she wished her to do with
