AN INGENIOUS REPLY.

A hostess, whose friends had ar rived unexpectedly, got up an im- promptu dinner party, and was com pelled to send to the nearest bakery for some tarts. All went on we'll un- til the hostess, unluckily wishing to show off by pretending not to know what was at her own table, pointed to the dish with an air of great dig nity, and inquired, "John, what are these tarts?" Whereat John, in the innocence of his heart, looking at the tarts in a commercial rather than a culinary point of view, brisk ly replied, Five cents apiece, ma'am."

HIS sHREWD SCHEME.

He was an old man who had mar ried for the second time and he had grown children by the first wife. Also, he had big bunch of prop erty. And his idea was to leave ev- cry cent he had to his second wife. "1t won't do at all," I advised him. Your children are going to make an awful fight to break such will, and they are likely to be successful" !" That's just what I want to do," an- swered my foxy client. ''I want my children to have a full share of my money. That's why I bequeath ev- erything to my wife. I know that wife of mine. And it's going to be a lot easier for my children to break my will than it is for me to break hers" ...

MANY KINDS OF KNIVES.

An extraordinary thing about the cutlery trade is the variety of knives made. At the Suffolk works in Sheffield, for instance, they have 10000 different patterns on the books. They make sometimes 5000 patterns to order at one time. The same thing is true of the large cut lery works at Solingen, Germany One firm has 5000 patterns for Ger many alone. New ones are con- stantly coming out. The Suffolk works have averaged ten new pat terms week for two years.

Perhaps the oldest gun in the United States Is that owned by Alex. King of Richmond, Va. Nine ty-seven years ago this month Kings grandfather purchased a flintlock musket, which at that time was the very latest model in small firearms. Today the piece is in working order and can be fired as accurately as it could when purchased. The gun was made in 1Sl4, the same year it was purchased by the elder king

BREEDS NEW KINDS OF FLIES
Columbia Professor Gets Curious Re sults In Mutations of Form
 and Color.

Some curious results have been ob- tained by Prof. T. H. Morgan of Co., lumbia university in the production of mutations of form and color by culture and breeding of the fruit fly" Drosophila ampelophila. By subiecting flies, pupae, larvae and eggs to the influence of radium rays, Professor Morgan produced one fly which had ''beaded'' wings. By sub sequent breeding other flies with sim liar wings were produced, and after many generations stock has been developed that frequently gives, in reproduction, hundred per cent. of beaded wings. Other changes pro- duced and handed down from gene ration to generation include the shortening of the normally long wings of these flies until in some cases they have become relatively very short and truncated. From some of the truncated-wing stock flies have been developed which have only tiny scales instead of wings. Changes have also been developed in the color and marking of the wings and the color of the eyes. Many may won- der whether 1t would be possible to experiment with the house fly and breed both wings and legs out of ex- istence.-Youth's Companion.

MEXICAN DRAWN SILVER
 IN GREAT VARIETY
BaIke's Big Curio Stock of Filigree
 Work Selling at Sacrifice

Everybody has admired that deli cate tracery known as Mexican fili- gree work but still better known as Mexican drawn silver. Filigree work has been made by the silversmiths and goldsmiths of all ages but no other artisans have brought it so near perfection as the Mexican work CTS. In no other is the work so lace-like.
 For years Balke's Big Curio store has made a speciality of this work. A large stock of it of great variety has always been carried. There are napkin rings. jewel and stamp boxes. jewel trays, spoons, bracelets. brooches, breast pins, watch fobs. paper knives. beauty pins and breast pins beside many other articles.
 All these articles are now being sold at marvelously low prices at the great closing out sale All are made of pure silver The fact that they are filigree work is a guaranty of pureness. for only such ductile metals as gold and silver can be employed in this process.

Peter Ruff sighed as he laid down the paper. The case seemed to him perfectly clear, and his sympathies were altogether with the young officer who had taken the law into his own hands. He knew nothing of Miss Lefty Shaw, and. consequently did her, perhaps. less than justice in his thoughts. Of Austen Abbott, on the other hand, he knew a great deal and nothing of good. It was absurd, after all, that any one should be pun ished for killing such a brutel
 He descended. a few minutes later, to his office, and found Miss Brown busy arranging bowl of violets upon his desk.
 Isn't it horible?" she cried, as he entered. carrying a bundle of papers under his arm. "I never have had such a shock!
 Do you know any of them, then?" Peter Ruff asked, straightening his tie in the mirror.
 "Of course! she answered. Why, I've been in the same company as Lefty Shaw for year. l was at the Milan, too, last night. Lefty was there having supper alone with Austen Ab- bolt We all said that there'd be trouble, but of course we never dreamed of this, Isn't there any chance for him, Peter? Cant he get of?"
 Peter Ruff shook his head.
 I'm afraid not" he answered. They may be able to bring evidence of a quarrel and reduce it to man. slaughter, but what you've just told me about this supper party makes it all the worse. It will come out in the evidence, of course"
 Captain Sotherst is such a dear" Miss Brown declared, and so good looking! And as for that brute Aus ten Abbott, he ought to have been shot long ago!
 Peter Ruff seated himself before his desk and hitched up his trousers at the knees.
 No doubt you are right, Violet" he said, but people go about these things so foolishly. To me it is simply exas- peTa,ing to reflect how little use is nade of persons such as myself. whose profession in life it is 10 ar range these little matters. Take the present case, for example. Captain Sotherst had only to lay these facts before me, and Austen Abbott was ruined man. could have arranged the affair for him in half-a-dozen diff ferent ways. Whereas now it must be a life for life-the life of an honest young English gentleman for the life of creature who should have been kicked out of the world as vermin! .. I have some letters to give you, Violet, if you please"
 She swung round in her chair re- luctantly.
 "I can't help thinking of that poor young fellow" she said, with a sigh.
 Sentiment after office hours. If you please, Mir. Peter Ruff declared.
 Then there came a knock at the door.

His visitor lifted her veil and Peter Ruff recognized her immediately.
 What can do for you. Lady Mary?" he asked.
 She saw the recognition in his eyes even before he spoke, and wondered at 1t.
 You know mo?" she exclaimed.
 "I know most people," he answered, drily. 1t is part of my profession"
 "Tell me-you are MT Peter Ruif, !" she said, the famous specialist in the detection of crime? You know that Brian Sotherst is my brother?
 "Yes," he said, "I know itt I am sorry-very sorry, indeed"
 He handed her a chair. She seated herself with little tightening of the lips.
 "I want more than sympathy from you, Mir. Ruff," she warned him. want your help"
 "It is my profession" he admitted, but your brothers case makes inter- vention difficult, does 1t not?"
 "You mean" she began.
 Your brother himself does not deny his guilt, I understand" Peter Ruff said.
 He has not denied It." she an swered-" very likely he will not do so before the magistrate-butn neither has he admitted it. MT. Ruff, you are such a clever man. Can't you see the truth?"
 .. Peter Ruff looked at her steadily for several moments.
 Lady Mary" he said, "I can see what you are going 10 suggest. You are going on the assumption that Aus ten Abbott was shot by Lefty Shaw and that your brother is taking the thing on his shoulders"
 "1 am sure of it, she declared. "The girl did 1t herself, beyond a doubt Brian would never have shot any one. He might have horse whipped him, perhaps-even beaten him to death-but shot him in cold blood-never!
 "The provocation-" Ruff began.
 "There was no provocation." she in- terrupted. "H He was engaged to the girl, and of course we hated 1t, but she was an honest little thing, and devoted to him."
 Doubtless" Ruff admitted. But all the same, as you will hear before the magistrates, or at the inquest. she was having supper alone with Austen Abbott that night at the MildR."
 Lady Mary's eyes flashed.
 T don't believe it. she declared. "It is nevertheless true" Peter Ruff assured her. There is no shadow of doubt about it"
 Lady Mary was staggered. For a few moments she seemed struggling to rearrange her thoughts.
