a pin. Then he announces to the
crowd that he is about to light Il
cigarette and q crowd gathers about
him with papers and tobacco. The
man strikes the match with great de-
liberation and those who can't light
up from the match do so from the
lighted cigarettes Of the others.
Everybody gets Il smoke off of one
match. Those On the outside of the
cells are accommodating to those on
the inside.
The women. 100, often want
matches. The women are il a separ-
ate apartment. but there is a small
hole through the door between the two
rooms, and it is nothing uncommon to
see man hold lighted cigarette up
to the hole in the door SO a woman on
the other side can get her light. -

The change in this matter of grow
ing old, since the time when the lady
Of 38 felt herself too ancient to wear
flower in her cap, is interesting. 1t is
especially interesting at that dreadful
moment when we first realize that we
are ourselves no longer young. 1t is
an extraordinary moment; pain, de-
NAL, rebellion, hopelessness. It ar
rives in many different ways. 1t used
to come with spectacles-but nova
days the babe wears spectacles; some
times it creeps upon us with a little
stiffening of the joints; one does not
run upstairs quite as lightly as one

Impotence that is felt because people
do not speak quite as distinctly as
they should-an Impotence to which
the younger generation rudely refers

Completed Job Too Well


Off keyholes plugged up as tight as
star session. After covering the door
with a dose of paint, he gazed on the
Job with pardonable pride, and then,
shutting the door. which fastened with
a spring lock, he wandered home.
1t was some time after the moon
had gone down that the business man
returned and went to the office. Pull
ing out his key, he tried to insert It,
but for some reason the usual result
was not forthcoming. Once he sought
the abundant aperture where the key
was wont to enter, but there was moth
ing doing. Next he struck a match
to take a look, and then he talked too
fast for publication.
The painter had not only plugged
up the old keyholes, but also puttied
up the new one, and the tenant was
shut out in the cold eco world.-Phila-

Chief REQUISITE Of Opals

tiful. Indeed. one of the essential
qualities of the opal is the arrange
ment of the figure, which sets Off
strikingly the hue of the stone.
When the figure is quite regular and
distinct it is the more valuable, much
less so when the grain is quite small
and irregular. Sometimes the color
appears as a. single blaze or with fig
ures regularly spaced. 1t may then be
OF a. fine ruby red, and is much sought
after. but Oftenest the uniform tint
is only green or reddish and has but
little brilliancy to speak of.
The cutting is very important for
the opal; thus a thick stone will be
much less beautiful than thin stone,
which, on losing part of its Volume,
loses also the figure. The foundation
tint contributes much to the beauty.
It ought TO be transparent. slightly
milky and harmonic fully with the
different reflections of the opal. which,
when it is really beautiful presents
variety Of hues infinitely pleasing to
the eye.-Jewelers' Circular.

Some time since a business man in
a town near this city was going to
leave his Office for the day, and
thought j. was a good time to have
the place renovated. Calling in
FAINTER, he told him to putty up the
cracks, paint the door, and otherwise
make the place more presentable
Then he left.
The door Of the Office was an old
fashioned affair, and in view of the
fact that every new tenant had re-
moved the lock and put on new one,
the surface looked as if it had been
used as target for rapid-fre practice.

Not Ashamed Of Master Who Hap
pened to Go to Jail.
Albert Rhodes was arrested last
night in Clinton avenue south, says
the Rochester Post-Express. Rhodes
had an Irish setter dog, but Policemen
Gibbons and Hazel did not notice the
animal. They sent Rhodes to head
quarters in the wagon.
After the wagon arrived at head
quarters a dog was noticed at the
front door. 1t whined and was ad-
mitted, but was afterward elected by
Lieut. Klubertanz. A few minutes
later the dog ran around to the patrol
barn and was admitted. 1t shifted the
air and bounded into the patrol
wagon. Not finding it's master it set
I'D a howl and was elected. During
the night the officers were disturbed
by the dismal bowls and barks of the
setter.
This morning the dog was admitted
and made it's way to the cellroom and
when Rhodes cell was opened the
dog bounded in, leaped upon the in
mate and showed extravagant Joy.
Rhodes, followed by the dog, came
into the police court. The dog stood
between Rhodes legs in the courtroom
and when Attendant Hart approached
