A Wonderfui cherry Stone.

What do you think Of paying $4,000,
or $4,000, for cherry stone? You
can hardly believe 1t. can you? And
yet that enormous price was paid for
one in the first part Of the eighteenth
century. The stone was bought I'm
Prussia by a wealthy aEnglishman and
was by him taken to England. 1t came
from common, cherry. but on It an
artist had carved the heads Of 124
popes, kings. queens and saints. OF
course the heads were microscopically
small, but II is said that by using a
good glass one could readily distin-
gulsh the popes and kings from the
others by the miters and crowns on
their heads. We have a curiosity In

There was enough of the mans es-

undertaken, but not both. and they
were. wrangling for the preference.
since they equally needed the money.
"He had to be dead before he could
be buried" argued the doctor. ''Priori-
ty is with me. both logically and chron-
ologically."
But the undertaken appealed to lar
ger social considerations.
Society,"" he urged, doesn't de-
mand that a man die: but. once he is
dead. 1t demands that he be buried.

Certainly you haven't the effrontery
to claim that without doctors nobody
would ever dep he protested.
But the doctor was concedlng moth
ing.
"The medical practitioner is virtual.

And SO the dispute proceeded, quito
interminably, as commonly happens
where differences derive from selfish
interest.--Puck.

they may be. The empire comb, as 1t
is called, is anywhere from four to six
inches In width and from two to four

TOR THE HOUSEWIFE
To Clean Gloves.

White gloves may be cleaned In the
following way: Lay them on clean
table and rub into them mixture Of
finely powdered fullcr's earth and alum
In equal quantities. Work this well In
and then brush 1t off. Afterward
sprinkle the gloves with dry bran and
whiting, then shake and dust them.
Another practical way to clean gloves
Is with benzine or benzine soap. The
combination of these two is death to
dirt. A small sum will purchase a
wooden hand. over which the glove is
slipped ready for scrubbing. A scour-
ing brush, much like nailbrush in
form and sitter as to brlstles. Is dip
ped into the cleansing mixture. and the
glove is thoroughly scrubbed. 1t is
hung to dry. and the glove stretchers
bring it into shape when the cleaning
Is done.
