Time, Not Space.

Mrs. Frink was a trusting soul
and rarely questioned the opinions
of others about matters concerning
which they were supposed to be in
formed. One day she came home
with a new pair of shoes under her
arm. "Got them at Bride's," she
explained, "and they're the best l
ever bought you"
~What is so very good about
them?" inquired her son, for whom
the shoes were intended.
"Why, the salesman said that you
could walk farther in them than in
any others without getting tired,
and / said that you couldn't walk
very far just now on account OF
your knee, you know, and he said
that he meant farther for the same
distance. So I bought them, and
here they are. Save the string,
please"
She did not notice the smile on
her sons face as he undid the pack
age, and he was spared the trouble
Of explaining. - Youths Compan-

A DIAMOND STORY.
The Way . Russian Princess Disposss
Of Her jewels.

The Way . Russian Princess Disposss
Of Her Jewels.
A few years ago Ludwig Nissen,
a well known wholesale dealer of
the Maiden lane district, was in the
Office of d diamond merchant in
London when a stranger came in
and offered an unusually beautiful
stone for sale. The Englishman
did not care to buy. But Nissen
thought he saw a bargain. But he
was not willing to buy until he
learned who owned the stone and
where it had come from. The man
said he represented a friend, a wo-
man, who did not care to have her
name disclosed. The American was
firm. If he could not learn the
owners name he would not buy.
The stranger said he would see the
woman and talk the matter over
with her.
The next day he came back and
took Mr.. Nissen to the woman's
home. She lived in a handsome
apartment in one of the most fash
ionable quarters of the city. It
turned out that she was a Russian
princess who, with her husband
and her daughter, had been driven
from Russia for having taken part
in a nihilist movement. OF all
their large property they had saved
only their jewels. She opened a
little safe and showed the Ameri-
can one of the finest collections of
diamonds he had ever seen. They
were worth 100000 or $4,000
eve sell them a few at a time"
she explained, Gust enough of
them each year to give us a living.
Perhaps you will wonder why we
don't sell them all and live on the
interest Of the money? But my
husband has the gamblers spirit.
The money would not last a year.
So we part from them piecemeal.
/ estimate that there are enough of
them to keep us twenty years, and
l don't expect to live longer than
that"
One of those diamonds forms the
c%enterpiece of one of the most val
liable necklaces in New York. A
few others are sent to this country
every year. In the diamond horse
shoe" at the opera there is never a
night when there are not some Of
the jewels of the exiled princess on
view.-New York Tribune.

Here is what the Rev. John
Evans tells us in reference to the
way in which English was taught
in Wales in the eighteenth century:
'This school had several features
unknown in the Welsh school of to-
day. The Welsh note was one in
dispensable feature. This secured
English conversation. 1t was a
smooth piece Of wood, like a flat
inch rule, with the letters w. NJ
carved on it. When any one was
caught speaking Welsh the Welsh
note was Immediately handed to
him, but the hand which held It at
the end of the lesson was the one
made to Jingle in consequence, so
it was a common occurrence for the
child who had it to move about
from pew to pew, craftily tempting
others to speak Welsh. This sign
Of guilt therefore often changed
hands until at last it rested in that
which had to bear the burden of all
tina transoressions of that law"

WATERMARKS.
They Ar Stamped In the Paper BY
Patterns Of Wire.

The discovery of the watermark
was the result of an accident, prob
ably a thousand years ago. Parch-
ment was then made of vegetable
pulp, which was poured in a liquid
state into a sieve. The water drip
ped out from below, and the thin
layer of pulp that remained was
pressed and dried. When dry it
was found to bear upon it the
marks of the fiber that composed
the bottom of the sieve.
These fibers seem to have been
twisted reeds, and the mark they
left on the parchment took the
form of wide lines running across
and across d~iagonally. In those
days the watermark was regarded
as a blemish since the fiber was
thick and coarse and the deep i'm
preston made on the paper proved
q drawback in writing.
The quill of the scribe found
many a yawning gap to cross on
the surface of the manuscript
"switchback scripture" it has been
termed. But when wire was SUBJ
stituted for fiber in the sieve, says
q writer in the Denver Republican,
the lines of the watermark grew
thinner and less conspicuous.
The possibilities Of the useful
les of the watermark became ap-
parent by degrees. 1t was first
found to be of service in preventing
the forgery of books and manu-
scripts. Many a bogus copy of a
rare work has been detected be-

All the works Of art buried in an

governed the artists and reacted
upon the style Of the art Of Egypt.
It is q most important fact-per-
haps the most important and fun
damental fact that the student Of
Egyptian art has to remember.
There was no place for passion in
such an art, none for grace, none
even for charm. Each figure had
merely to be made lucid-plainly
occupied about its business or visi-
bly, shaped in the form required,
and hat was all. The art Of the
Egyptian tomb was to serve a use

To give positive home testimony in

BILE proof of merit; but when we add
to this the continued endorsement
from people who testified years ago,
no evidence can be stronger. A Rich
mond citizen gratefully acknowledges
the good received from Doan's Kidney
Pills, and when time has tested the
cure we find the same hearty endorse
ment, with added enthusiasm and con-
tinued praise. Cases of this kind are
plentiful in the work of Doan's Kidney
Pills, and such record is unique In
the annals of medicine.
Martin Bulach, tailor, 433 s. Elev-
enth street, Richmond, Ind, says: in
the spring of 1902, I suffered from a
weak and lame back and other symp-
toms of kidney trouble. Learning of
Doan's Kidney Pills, l procured sup
ply at A. G. Luken & Cos drug store
and their use brought me prompt re-
lief. Since that time l have had no
further need Of a kidney remedy as
my cure has been permanent. l gave a
statement recommending Doan's Kid

such good results, and at this time,
