sI must tell you the joke on me-
said q business woman who keeps
bach" in a cunning little apartment.
Last week l invited two friends for
luncheon. AS have just an hour at
noon got everything ready before l
left in the morning that could be pre-
pared and set on the ice. made a
lovely salad, a dessert, prepared for
toasted mullins and tea and set my ia
Bile in all its glory, even buying some
flowers for q centerpiece. My guests
met me at the Office and we went to
the apartment. What do you think l
had done? Left my keys inside and
locked the door!
ssThere was absolutely no way for US
to get in. The janitor had pass key,
but he was away All the windows on
the FIRE escapes were locked, and no
other key in the building fitted. There
was nothing to do but take my guests
to a restaurant. Then I found that l
had not even brought my purse from
the office, never dreaming that should
need it. had to ask my guests foE
money to pay for the luncheon, anc,
as it happened, they only had q quar-
ter each above their carfare. We went
to the cheapest place we could mo
and had sandwiches and coffee.

THE SUMMIT OF FuIi.

When Morning Breaks Over she Very
Top Of Japan.
Suddenly a spark. 4 fame and then
q burst OF fire, and, 10 and behold,
the rosy morning is awake once more
on Fuji'S pearly crest while Japan,
below, Is yet enveloped in the flmy
mtsts Of night.
The pilgrims fall on their knees and
bow their heads to the ground in ado
ration, and with much lingering OF
rosaries the plaintive cadence Of their
prayers rises like lamentation to tbs
heavens above.
At Benares, the sainted city Of tbs
Hindoos, as the sun rises each morn
ing across the holy Ganges the pray
ers Of the bathing multitude are as
the roaring Of the sea. But even this,
one Of the greatest and most stirring
religious spectacles Of the world. is
not more picturesque than that little
band of pilgrims 'twixt heaven and
earth, high up IN the blue profound,
on the very top Of Japan, kneeling in
praise before the great orb which IS
the emblem Of their empire.
Never to have seen sunrise from the
summit Of Fu5i is never to have really
seen Japan.
The kindly nature which made this
lovely land has surpassed all its other
efforts. IN the lavish profusion with
which it has scattered its favors
around the sacred mountain. Ripping
rills and roaring rivers, dancing cas-
cades and laundering waterfalls,
feathery woods and deep forests there
are on every side, but Of all these
glories the most enchanting are the
lakes which lie embosomed like fash
ing jewels among the nils.
Of them all Shoji and Motosu are
the most beautiful. the latter excelling
in the exquisite sapphire blue Of its
waters and its dainty, delicate beauty
all other lakes in Japan and challeng-
ing comparison with the fairest we
tiers Of the world.-Herbert G. Pointing

The Reconciliation.

The doctor was soon at the child's
bedside. Remedies were administered; !;
then the agonized pair watched the
fight for nfe-skill and vitality on one
side, fierce disease on the other. When
at last the struggle ceased, the gray
dawn Of day was looking in at tie
window. Life had WOE. The child
slept
"She is all right now" said the doc
tor, shaking the mans hand, which
had gripped his, and feeling his heart
grow warm under the look Of mute
gratitude the woman turned upon
him.
When he had gone the two stood
side by side at the baby's crib, listen
ing to her regular breathing. Then.
with one accord. they turned and kiss
ed each other. And in that kiss the
icy barrier between them melted away.

WEBSTER AND CHOATE.
The Latter a Rapid Fire Maxim, the
Former a Thirteen Inch Gun.

Former a Thirteen Inch Gun.
Probably no educational institution
In our country has ever graduated two
more eminent and eloquent lawyers
than old Dartmouth college gave US
in Daniel Webster and Rufus Choate," :"
says writer IN Our Dumb Animals.
"It was my privilege as member Of
the Suffolk bar to attend many years
ago the trial Of one Of the most i'm
portant cases Of the year in our su-
prene judicial court at Boston.
"On the two sides were arrayed
some half dozen Of our most emil
nent lawyers. Daniel Webster and
Rufus Choate, as 1t happened, were on
the same side.
"a hostile witness was put on Ivy
the other side, some Of whose evidence
was Of the utmost Importance to Web
ster and Choate, II It could be OBJ
tanned, and Choate undertook the task
Of obtaining it. No man at our bar
had more profound skill In cross eS-
animation, and the questions he put
to the witness were like the fire Of q
Maxim gun, but in every instance be
failed to get the evidence he wanted
and finally sat down in despair.
"Then Webster, who had been sitting
In his great armchair, apparently about
half asleep, as though taking no inter
est in the case whatever, slowly arose
to his feet, put his great eyes on the
hostile witness, asked him in the most
serious tone a single question and
brought instantly the required answer.
Then as quietly he sat down and ap-
parently went about half asleep again.
It was scene photographed on my
mind, never to be forgotten.
1.-The difference between Webster
and Choate cannot better be explained
as it rests in my mind than to COM
pare Choate to 4 Maxim gun raining
bullets Of eloquence wherever be. chose
and Webster to great gun that can
send out thirteen inch shell to pene-
trate an ironclad.
'It was wonderful to listen to
SUOGlG 1 ISUGlAUC1 u SSSG III WALL
an ordinary lawyer would have SIM
ply said to the court that he moved a
postponement Of the case because wit
ness So-anG-so was sick, but in this
case Choate arose and commenced by
saying that his important witness was
on & bed Of sickness and perhaps q
bed Of death and so went whirling up
almost to the skies on this simple mo-
tion, to the great interest Of everybody
that heard him.
"Our. old chief justice. Judge Shaw,
one Of the greatest lawyers Of mis-
time. was a plain, practical man, and
looked in his old age as he sat on the
bench somewhat like q Chinese idol,
and be used to frequently cut off Mr..
Choate's eloeuence By calling him back
to the plain facts"

Relative Hardness Of Precious Stones

Relative Hardness Of Precious Stones.
The relative hardness Of various
stones is easily determined by testing
the power Of one stone to make
scratches on another. If diamond is
rubbed with one Of the points Of a
topaz, the topaz point IS blunted and
the mark which will be seen on the
face of the diamond is only the dust
Of the topaz, which can be brushed of
with the finger But if the topaz is
rubbed against the diamond the lat
ter is unaltered and the surface Of the
former is marked with scratch
which can be removed only by fur.
thcr polishing down. 1t is on the basis
Of this process Of comparison that a
scale Of comparative hardness has
been formed represented by ten sub
stances. Of which diamond is the high
est and graphite the lowest IN the
scale. It is a curious fact that these
two extremes Of the scale. the brilliant
and hard diamond and soft black
graphite, are both chemically the same
substance-pure carbon.-Jewelers' Cir
