JOYS OF A COLLECTOR.
Picking Up Valuable Painting at an
Auction Sale,

Auction Sale.
Collecting will always have its ro-
pahces. l know of one that occurred
at the sale at Christie's of the effects
of the late Sir Henry Irving. Some
one l knew had been to see the cOllec-
tion before the sale. He came across
q portrait with which he was familiar
because he had seen 1t thirty years
before. On consulting his catalogue he
discovered that the portrait was de
scribed as being that of a man un
known, and, further, the artist was
also unknown. Now, he knew that the
portrait was that OF famous actor by
famous English painter He longed
to buy it, but decided that it would
go at too high price. He went to the
auction with very little hope. The
Whistler and the Sargent were sold,
and then it was the turn of this picture
Nobody recognized it. Finally he had
to start the bidding himself, and this
he did. Only one man bid against him,
but he soon stopped, discouraged, and
then the picture was knocked down TO
fhe man who had never expected t.
get it. He hurried to the desk to pay
the small amount and to carry Off his
prize. do you happen to know any
thing about that portrait?" the auc-
tioneer asked him as n porter took 1t
down to cab. Il know 1t very WELL
Aeaid the new owner, conscious that it
was now safely his property. "It is a
portrait of Blackstone, the actor, by
Daniel Maclise. There is an engraving
/. of 1t in the Maclise portrait gallery

Started the French Walking.
The celebrated DR.. Tronchln, friend
of Voltaire, Rousseau and Diderot, was
the inventor of walking. In France
until his epoch Q7O9-SD the leisured
class never walked either for health
or recreation. Walking was only prac-
ticed by the Tiers Etat Folks footed
1t from one place to another simply
because they possessed neither coach
nor sedan chair. DIR. Tronchin, an
initiator in many other respects, In
duced "les elegants ct les elegantes,"
writes a historian, to take what is now
called a constitutional To stroll
abroad was named "tronchiner" after
the inventor, and for their airings both
sexes had special costumes and shoes,
the latter being more especially neces-
sary. The verb ''tronchiner," by the
way, has not had the fate of our "to
boycott" having passed into disuse
long ago.-Westminster Gazette.

His Dear Old Mother.

my dear old mother, who is now
eighty three years old, thrives on Elec-

Three ways are used by farmers for curing and preparing their to- bacco for the market; namely sun cured, air cured and due cured. The old and cheap way is called air cured; the later discovery and i'm proved way is called flue cured.
 In fue curing the tobacco is taken from the fields and racked in barns especially built to retain heat and there subjected to a continuous high temperature, produced by the direct heat of flame heated nues, which brings out in the tobacco that stimulating taste and aroma that expert roasting develops in green coffee. These similar processes give to both tobacco and coffee the cheer ing and stimulating quality that pop ularizes their use.
 The quality of tobacco depends much on the curinxspFoccss and khc kind of soil that pfes.uces it, as ex- pert tests prove that this fuc cured

shown that an attempt had been made 10
monopolize the sale of smoking and chew

product necessary to the production OF
those commodities. He read letter intro

PENDANTS knew their methods were IN re-

agents of the defendants.
Judge Hough in charging the jury De
clared that a general verdict of not guilty
would mean that all the defendants were
not guilty of all the acts alleged In the
indictment, and. conversely, that general
verdict of guilty would mean that all the
defendants were guilty of all the acts
charged. The court reviewed the evidence
dwelling particularly upon the secrecy with
which the alleged combination was formed;
and instructed the jury that If they founo
that a single overt act alleged had peen
committed within this district, it gave the
court legal jurisdiction.
