Poor Jack Of all trades! So strong
is the prejudice against him that he is
even denied the right to practice one
avocation lest it interfere with his call
ing. This is an age OF narrow special
ization. When John Belcher, known
now as daring and original archi-
tect. was young man he gave good
deal Of time to music.
He had fine voice, and was greatly
in demand at Q -ening parties
One evening, after he had sung, to
loud applause, he overheard TIVE gem
telmen talking him over
who was the fellow that sang Just
now n asked one. "The professional, l
mean"
HOh, that was Mr.. BeIcher, an archi-
tect.'
'Well, he can't be much Of an archl-
tect if he can sing like that"
The listener never sang again save
at home. He decided that 1t was bet
ter to be good architect than a pretty
good musician and fairly good archi-
tect.

HIS STEAK WAS READY.
Sarcasm Of the Wife Not Wasted on
the Delinquent Husband.


Sarcasm loses nothing by awaiting
the psychological moment for it's ua-
terance. Also it oftentimes is most
fraught with the sharpness OF a two
edged sword when it is contained in
a simple statement of fact.

upon the cocktail when it contains a
cherry, his glance at such times dwell
ing thereon for two or three success
sive days without interruption, arose
one morning recently with a head out
OF all proportion to his hat measure,
and a throat that felt like limekiln.
No explanation was needed when he
told his wife he was going out for a
moment to get rid of the olive green
taste in his mouth; he would be back
right away. All she said was Bring
steak home with you for breakfast"
He went to cocktail dispensary
and got his brace AS he was going
out he met a friend, who told him he
would feel better IL he had another
He did feel better, SO much better
that he was prevailed on further to
improve the state of his physical and
mental being by third diving after a
cherry. He did not see his home for
two days.
Again, one morning he awoke with
iron hands pressing into his head and
his tongue cleaving to the roof of his
mouth. His wife heard him stirring
and went. to the door. NYour steak is

a large fraction of the great record of

"Can that man have been the .Furni-
vap who obtained the address of Brace
and myself from you?"
For my own part, l doubted Van
Hoeck's innocence. Perhaps I may
have been biased in forming an i'll
opinion of him by my jealous dislike of
the relation he had formed with Ed
18th. She was the only living creature
Van Hoeck had spoken well Of in my
hearing; and / fancied that be was
playing hypocritical part to obtain
the pleasure of her society and friend
ship.
BY the return mail Sir Edmund
wrote
II feel 1t right to read that part of
your letter referring to the robbery to
Van Hoeck, who for the past few
weeks has been an accepted visitor
here, and, | may add, the object of
Edith's sympathetic commiseration.
He declared upon his oath that there
had been no struggle between himself
and Brace, and that no statement had
been extorted from him by the violent
means indicated; that when you left
he. felt his way to the road and waited
there. Brace came and undertook to
lead him home. He remembers stop
ping on the way while Brace asked him
If he thought you had really been
robbed of the diamond. He knew
nothing Of the leather case, which
Brace might well have concealed in
the manner you describe without his
perception. After this explanation,
he said that he must once more relin-
quish our friendship until all doubt is
cleared up. But he added, emphati-
cally, as he was about to leave as, If
only part OF this story is true-if the
girl got possession of the diamond, hid
1t, and should restore it to Brace and
Thorne, they will make away with it,
and you will never see one of them
again. y
IF Van Hoeck is not the very old
'un hisself," said the Judge, when
showed him this letter, hes hand in
hand with him."
We asked Lola if she had recognized
the man who dropped from the oriel
window.
NO. she replied, "the night was too
thick; but he was about the size of the
man l saw the night before going
from one window to the other in the
left-hand side of the house"
One morning Brace said to me:
1--WE had my suspicious on it for
some time; but now I'm sure on it.
We're being watched"
/ asked him what reason he had for
this belief
my reason is this he replied. 1.-THE
one-legged beggar as comes here for
scraps give one of the house helps
harf dollar this morning. 1t looked
like he'd been buying up your silver
spoons, so / jest had the rascal
searched; but there warn't marry thing
ON him but varmin. Lay your life, sir,
that beggar didn't give harf a dollar
for nothing, We've got to keep our
eyes openp
You think he is a spy paying the
helps for information with respect to
our movementsY' said.
II do--jest that
"Why?
"WhyY' echoed Brace, drawing a
long breath, because it's Jest three
weeks since Van Hoeck learnt that we
are goin' to get back the Great Hesper,
and he found an excuse for quittin'
the locality of Monken Abbey"

= All knowledge is interesting, more
particularly when it has direct per-
Sonal application, says the San Fran
cisco Argonaut This is the case with
the fund of information concerning
the food which we eat which is being
accumulated by the researches of the
municipal pure-food laboratory TAX
ing as basis the proportion of adrl-
terated foods discovered in these IN
yestigations, the conclusion may be
arrived at that more than fifty per
cent. of the honey sold in our
markets is adulterated with gIu-
cose; slightly smaller proportion OF
maple syrups and Of rlolasses Is freely
mingled with the same substance, with
the addition Of salicylic acid as pre-
scrvative; one-third of the jellies sold
are filed out with goodly proportion
of starch, and evaporated creams are
also increased in bulk by adding starch,
with borax thrown in. The manufac-
6ure Of candies is made more profitable
by the use Of glucose in the place Of
sugar. Gelatine is pretty universally
employed in the making Of ice cream,
and more than five-sixths Of the ice
creams examined contained borax.
Even wood alcohol, rank poison. was
found in three instances.

Little Girl on stand.

There was an affecting incident in
Vice Chancellor Emery's court room at
Newark when eight-year-old LESSEE
Kroehner, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. J.
Kroehner, was placed in the witness
chair to testify as to her love for her
father, The little girl was taken away
from her mother several years ago,
shortly after the New York City courts
had granted Mrs. Kroehner decree of
divorce and the permanent custody of
her daughter. Mrs. Kroehner, who
lives in No. 157 East 103d street, New
York City, was represented in her ac-
ton to recover the child by W. e.
Hampson. W. p Ryan appeared for
the father. The little girl said that she
liked her father very much" She
said also that she liked to live in Pas
sale. where her father took her after
she was taken from her mother. and
that she wanted to remain with Miss
Fry, who is mentioned in the case as
Mr.. KrOehner's housekeeper. When
asked if she wished to return to live
with her mother in New York City the
little girl broke down, the Vice-Chan-
cellor being obliged to excuse her. Miss
Alfretta Fry, who was called as. the
next witness. denied that the relations
between herself and Mr.. Kroehner
were improper Under cross-examina-
ton the witness admitted that some of
the neighbors called her Mrs. Kroeh-
ner, and that she had answered % that
name.
