has just received grave tidings of his dearest friend.
 "Is this. NJ. le Prince" he said, len tirely in accord with our own treaty obllgations?'
 "We do not consider it to be in con travention to them." the prince an- swered.
 The gravity of M. Grisson's manner grew even more pronounced.
 My dear prince" he said, you are doubtless aware that during the last few weeks there have been some very strange rumors about as to a meeting between your master and the emperor of Germany and an agreement which was forthwith signed between them. I need not remark that all such rumors were entirely discredited here. Such a meeting kept secret from us would of course be very seriously considered here"
 The prince smiled. He remained ad- mirably self possessed, though the very veins in his forehead were swoll. en with anger.
 "A canard of the sort has reached my ears," he remarked. Some Eng fish boy, I believe, imagined or dream ed that he saw some such meeting. We scarcely need, I think, to discuss this seriously"
 Personally agree with you," M. Grisson said smoothly. "My ministry, however. seems to have been little impressed by the boys story. An au- tograph letter from the czar denying it would perhaps make our negotiations more easy"
 Tt shall be forthcoming" the prince remarked, rising. By the bye, hear reports of great activity from Cher bourg More maneuvers, eh?"
 NJ. Grisson shrugged his shoulders.
 "Our new naval chief" he remarked, ''is marvel of industry. You know the English proverb about the new broom, eh?"
 The prince bowed.
 During the next few hours," he re- marked, many things may happen. You will be always accessible?"
 q shall not leave my post, prince," Nj. Grlsson answered. You will find me here at any time"

Spider. InIure carratlon.

If those who complain of trouble with carnations will take the pains to examine the foliage. particularly the under side of 1t, they will discover hundreds of tiny creatures of dark red color moving actively about among little webs almost undistinguishable by the ordinary observation. These are red spiders. Unless kept in check or got rid of they will ruin the plants. The way to prevent them from taking possession Of the plants is to give daily showerings all over the foliage. If this is persisted in the spider will stay away. But if 1t has come already the best thing to do is to heat a tub of water to 120 degrees and immerse the plant in 1t, Allow it to remain in the bath about half minute. Then remove 1t and after little give 1t an- other dip. This generally kills the spider, but a third bath may be neces- sary. After getting the plant free from the pest keep 1t away by the lib eral use of water.

 This tomato pincushion could cas- fly be arranged to hang on the cor ner of looking-glass by attaching a long loop of narrow. green silk rib bon very firmly to the top, just be- hind the green stalk. A round ball. shaped cushion would be made. and not too tightly fitted It is covered with velvet; then the divisions would be made by drawing red baby-ribbon tightly down over the cushion; 1t must then be pressed on the top to fiatten it, and the stalk sewn on.

Odd Design That Makes a Really
 Pretty PincushIon.s

Small pincushions, made in the form of various fruits and vegetables. are always both useful and decora- tive. They make very welcome little gifts, and are equally in place on the dressing-table or the escritoire. More over, they are very useful for stalls at a bazar. where they always com mand a ready sale.

This habit greatly amused the prince,

which there was something at once
irrespo nsible and abstract. He follow
ed every impulse, without choice or re-
jstraint, with the abandonment OF a
leaf in the wind. ..0fl, lift me as o.
wave, a leaf, a cloud!'' was his prayer
to the west wind and to every infiu-
enee. Circumstances meant so little
to him that he was unconscious OF the
cruelty OF change to sentiment, and
thus Of the extent OF his cruelty to
women he aimed at moral perfec-
ton, but was really Of perfect aes-
thetic selfishness. He was full Of pity
and generosity and desired the liberia

POISONED GLOVES.

Perfumed gloves have contributed
largely to the bright and cruel side Of
romance, Of fact and of fiction. They
had their home in Italy, the home Of
the Borgias and De- Medicis, and 1T IS
said, with how much truth will never
be known. that many an untimely
death was caused BY wearing perfum-
ed gloves whose scented palms con-
sealed a deadly poison. 1t seems to
have been a faVorite pastime Of the
notorious Alexander VI. and Of his
more notorious son, Caesar Borgia, to
Invite friend to dine show him every
