This is what the blond woman in the very smart i?onnet paid to her nearest neighbor in blue, whereupon every other woman near the tea table out short her conversation and held her sup in midair to hear what the discussion would bring forth. -i "That I dr " went on the blond-em- phatioally, "and I've been stolen from repeatedly: Ne, may. dear, I won't take u wei it b c1; ar 4, I tem not speak- ing hastily.

"Well, I never!" remarked the wom- an in blue. "Oh, that's just because you are a dear, unsophisticated little creature, and out in your western town they don't do snch things. The temptations are not so great, but I can assure you that here in our big cities, at regular intervals, polite kleptomania is simply rampant, and hardly a big function breaks up that half the women don't come away quite savage over the loss of some pretty and especially prized belonging." Evi- dently the blond was right, for all the other women nodded assent, and the hostess was apparently breathless to tell of some personal grievance on this score, when the first speaker broke in again: "Yon see," she elaborated, "we used to think it might have been the servants' fault, or an honest error, when we found our possessions exchanged for others less valuable or simply disappearing, un- til two or three times the offenders were caught right in the act, and then name the awfully dismal . consciousness that really no oneconld be trusted. "My fast experience was with a very costly lace'fan I carried to a dinner. I held on to it most affectionately through- out the evening, until some half dozen of us went up to the hostess' bedroom for our wraps. There I laid it, with my vinaigrette and fan, on the dressing ta- ble, and when I turned to get them again the fan was gone. I protested, the maid searched, but nothing came of it, and broken heartedly I went down, be- wailing my Voss to a sympathizing fem- inine companion. We went out to our respective carriages together, but as the butler opened the hall door a puff of wind blew her long cloak aside, and there I saw, snug in its pocket, my pre- cious fan. Well, the next day I wrote her very frankly, asking for its return, " suggesting, of course, she had taken it by mistake, and home it came. But we have never spoken since. "That taught me to look for higher offenders than' maids in dressing rooms, who are usually accused of making way with all wraps, umbrellas, overshoes and what not that may be missing." "Ah, that is not my trouble," chimed in a debutante across the tea table. "The favorite plan is now to exchange bad for good things. I asp growing almost philosophical over the deplorable shab- biness of my wardrobe from this con- stant swapping. Last week, on coming up late to the dressing room from a dance, I found in place of my brand new green suede carriage overshoes two overlarge,. badly worn ones of rusty black velvet and my lace head scarf ex- changed for a frayed one of soiled white chiffon. Naturally cross and sleepy, I fell on the ,tired maid, who wept and denied, but looked ae if she could tell a tale. "Only to make a test case of it I rolled my new French galoches in my mackin- tosh, laid my card on top and put them in a safe corner of the dressing room of a house where I went to luncheon the other day. But it was of no avail. The galoches had been metamorphosed into . a pair of muddy rubbers with boles in ' them when I went back, and I didn't grumble, since my pretty umbrella was left. The work of the spoiler goes on in the cloakrooms when big wedding re- ceptions, teas, musicales and private balls are in lirogress. "At one of the big dances of the sea- son the hostess simply ordered her maid to issue checks for every woman's wrap, and, charming to relate, not so mach as a hairpin was lost, for at her daughter's wedding reception, only a week before, three muffs got away someow without their rightful owners, and Ihe possessor of a $300 sable band warmer found a nubby old astrakhan, one iia its place. tt is where the fashionable klep- am es caive their consciences by an exchange, you see, for rarely is anything taken that some inferior article is not put in its place, and very rarely are they caught with them. Their position lilsociety is one of protection, and their iptims are too timid or proud to trace clew, which too often leads right to the door of their best friends or some woman who •is aiding materially in helping them along in society. "--Milli- cent Arrowpoint in Chicago Record. When an inners r' man is jailed 1• mistake he preft-: to come out th same way he went in He may break jail and be caught and put back again. He'd rather have the door un locked and walk out ane slay out. A sick man is a prfaoner in the jail of disease; he has gone in by some door of carelessness or neglect or irregular living, and he must unlock this sante door by careful, sensible habits If he wants to be a free, well man again. If dyspepsia and biliousness or constipa• Sion is the way he got into disease, he has got to overcome just those troubles before he can get out. The majority of diseases begin with some trouble of the digestive organs or of the liver whje ; prevents the supply of -proper nourishment to the system.

" My wife had -suffered for seven years with dys- pepsia, sick headache and costiveness," writes Mr. Alonzo D. Jameson, of Dunbarton, Merrimack Co., N. H., " we tried `many doctors and many kinds of medicine, but all were of no avail. We purchased six bottles of your ' Golden Medical Discovery which together with the ' Pleasant Pellets' has entirely restored my wife's health, and we cannot say enough in thanks to you fon these valuable medicines."

And now, says a New York fashion writer, comes the disagreeable news that in foreign fashion centers sloping els uldors are to reign. We have it qn undoubted authority that the leop- ard oanuot change his spots nor man add one cubit to his statute, yet will the modern exponent of fashion ex- ercise her ingenuity in the alteration of the anatomy above tbe shoulders. For many years we have worn our shoulders up to our ears, so to speak. Now all is to be ohanged, and the fashionable woman must assume the virtue of slop- ing shoulders, though she have it or sot. Seams from neck to shoulder point are to be lengthened, and all fullness that remains in the top of the sleeve Will tend in a downward directipn. The shoulders proper will remain where they are, but will look as if they had received a direct impetus toward the elbow. - Juvenile Theology.

Ayer's Pills are recommended by leading physicians and druggists, as the most prompt and effioient remedy for bilious- ness, nausea, costiveness, indigestion, slug- gishness of the liver, jaundice, and sick headache; also to relieve colds, fever, nen- ralgia and rheumatism. D.F.Craig, whose boot and shoe store" in St. Marys was burglarized about a year ago, was somewhat surprised and very much delighted the other day to receive an anonymous letter containing $52. This purported to be payment in full for goods taken from his store. The letter was dated from Stratford. Mr Joseph Richardsor,: of Gore of Downie, who was stricken with par- alysis on Tuesday of last week, died this morning. He died on the 75th an- niversary of his birthday. He was the father of thirteen children, eleven of whom survive. His wealth is estimated at close on a quarter of a million dol- lars. In 1471 a French baron offered a pledge of 10 marks of silver that a copy of "Avicenna," which he desired to read, would be returned, and even with this security, equal hi our money to over $60, his request was refused. LII E WAS A BIURDEi%. Four Years of Agony and Misery. A Marvellous -cure by Paine's Celery Compound. Three Bottles Suffice to Niake Mr Finter Well and Strong. 0 The hopeless, despairing, and all who im- agine they are lost, beoause the dootors have failed, should rejoice to know that Paine's Celery Compound fully meets the worst cases, and never fails to restore lost health. It is no vain dr idle boast when the de- claration is made that Paine's Celery Compound cures when all other means fail. To -day a grand army of men and women in our own Canada can vouch for the truth of the statement shade. ."r As aproof that Paine's Celery Compound cures in the darkest times of disease sad misery we give the teitimony of Mr F. Fin- s ter, of Ottawa, who was saved at almost i the ere' ent}I 114Rr, ;fie says: "I consider it a duty to acknowledge the great good that I derived from your valu- able remedy, Paine's Celery Compound. For Four years I endured terrible agony and misery owing to pains in my head and chest. Life was a burden to mc, and no living mortal could describe my sufferings. I was treated by dootors and used many patent medicines, but nothing gave me re- lief until I used your Paine's Celery Com- pound. I thank God for the day it was brought to my notice in the Ottawa papers. I have taken three bottles of the medi- cine, and to -day I can truly say that I feel like a new man. 1 feel certain that if the suffering people of Canada would try Paine's Celery Compound they would i e cured. I will rt c)mtnend the remedy whenever I have the opprrtuuity, as it is the best ever given to sufferers." Show Them up to the Public As the public—particularly the ladies— are so often swindled by profit -loving mer- chants and dealers, it is well that the peo- ple should have an example of wh:,t is done in the sale of certain package dyes for home dyeing. The makers of common and adulterated package dyes sell their crude colors to the retail merchants at a cost of four cents per packet, and tbe public who buy these de- ception dyes are made to pay ten cents for them. A handsome profit indeed for Mr Storekeeper! No wonder he nses ever- n- deavor to sell and substitute his poor dyes for the famous and reliable Diamond Dye... The Diamond Dyes, that all live and honorable dealers in Canada handle and sell, cost a good deal more money,1 yet the public vet them for ten cents, which only allows the d. a'er a fair profit. But mark the difference ladies ! The cheap dyes are really worthless, and are made for the profit of the manufacturer and the dealer, while Diamond Dyes .are made for the profit, pleasure and blessing of every home dyer. Linseed and Turpentine is not only a popular remedy, but the best known to medical science for the treatment of nervous membranes of respiratory organs. DR CHASE compounded this valuably syrup so as to take away the unpleasant taste of the turpentine and linseed. It was the Doctor's last and greatest remedy, and more of it is sold in Canada than all other cough medicines combined. A Banker'g Experience 9039 HEREAFTER HE INTENDS TO ..

"It proved effective. I regard the remedy as simple, cheap and exceedingly good, It has hitherto been my habit to consult a physician in troubles of this nature. Hereafter, however, 1 latend to be my own family doctor." A Hen and a Diamond. Prof, Henry Kraemer. a Bayonne tensorial artist, is very pnzzled'over• a strange experience in which his $50 diamon'cl ring, a Brahma setting hen and a setting of alleged white Leghorn eggs figure as poterit factors. Several weeks ago he bought the hen and eggs. In due time the hen acquired the ma- ternal fever, and was allowed to hatch out the eggs. • Just about the time Kraemer bought his embryo flock he lost the diamond from his ring, and was almost disconsolate. The other day Henry's hen left her nest with a brood' of a dozen downy little chicks. The thirteenth egg had failed to hatch, and Kr•aerner decided to investigate its contents. He broke the shell in the presence of John Windlass, and, to the surprise of both, found within the larger end of the addled egg the miss- ing diamond of his ring. Henry is not positive that the egg is one of the set- ting which he purchased, his belief be- ing that his hen found the lost dia- mond while foraging around his back yard, and swallowed the stone, which in due time was laid within the un- hatched egg by Biddy. His neighbor s think that the hen might be a vera ab- le diamond mine, but Henry says that he has read the fable of the goose that laid the golden eggs, and he scouts their advice to kill the hen.—NewYork Tri bune. A VOICE FROM VIRDEN GENTLEMEN, —I have used Hagyard's Yellow Oil for the past ten years, and find it a splendid remedy for colic, neuralgia, bronchitis, croup, pains in the back, ulce- rated and sore throat, sprains, chilblains, etc., in foot we use it for almost every pain, and it always relieves quickly. 1 can safely say I know of no other remedy of the sort that can equal it. We always keep a good stook in the house. Mas J. I. MADGE, Virden, Man. 'Kaiser and Painter. There was a touching exchange of compliments the other day between Em- peror William and the Russian painter Verestchagin, whose works are now on exhibition in Berlin. The kaiser went to the gallery and Was gracious enough to remind the artist that they had met before. "Yea, your majesty," replied Verestchagin, "and then you were only 'highness,' but now you. are 'majesty.' " To this the kaiser is said to have replied, holding out his hand, "And you, who were a great painter then, are now a greater one." It is not altogether surprising that the Russian is reported as expressing deep respect for the emperor's critical powers, or that ho quotas, as showing limitless historical knowledge, the em- peror's declaration, made at this mo- mentous interview, that "if ever a judg- ment of God broke over a man, it was over Napoleon at Moscow." Meanwhile Verestchagin's pictures will continue to reveal the horrors of militarism, and thus supply one with the pleasant men- tal recreation of wondering what En - rope's one real war lord can see to ad- mire in them.—New York Timer.

The bark True Love, built in Phila- delphia in 1764, has been found upon search to be yet afloat in the capacity of a coal hulk, engaged in active trade. This discovery was made through a cas- ualty recorded in the Maritime Exchange as fellows: True Love, barge, was in collision with schooner Gravesend of London, off Gravesend, and had port quarter damaged to such au extent that it was found necessary .to tow her into Rochester, and she arrived at that place In charge of the tug Commerce. The tree Love has not only outlived her builders and . their successors, but has also outlived every craft that was built in her time and far many years after- ward, and this fact, coupled with the report that the historic Draft is still en- gaged in active pursuits, places Phila- delphia at the very top notch as a ship- building center. In 1764, when this famous old craft was launched on the banks of the Dela- ware, although her length -was but 96 feet 8 inches, she was then the largest vessel of commerce that the Delaware had ever floated. Contrast this with the dimensions of the huge Hamburg -Amer- ican Packet company's steamship Penn- sylvania, whose length is 587 feet, and one will be amazed with the magnitude of the modern ship of commerce. The True Love, upon being completed, sailed away from Philadelphia early in 1765, and no record is had of her return to this city until Aug. 22, 1878, when, at the age of 109 years, she came into port from Ivigtut, Greenland, with a cargo of kryolite in command of Captain Thomas Nathaniel, consigned to B. Crowley. She was discharged here and surveyed by the Amerioan Lloyds in October, 1873, and sailed away, never to return again. .Upon her arrival short- ly afterward in London she was sold and turned into a coal hulk, in which capacity she still serves. The dimensions of this famous True Love are: Length, 96 feet 8 inches; beam, 26 feet 9 inches; depth of hold, 17 feet. She measured 296 tons register, and, like all old craft, carried very lit- tle more cargo. The discovery that there was still afloat a Philadelphia built vessel ofsuch an age has caused mach comment on the floors of the Maritime Exchange, and some shipping men are of the opin- ion that this old craft should, if possi- ble, be purchased as a relic. Records show that the True Love wasfor a time owned in Hull, England, by G. Dahl previous to her purchase by John S. Ward of London, and during that time ebe was engaged in the- Baltic trade.— Philadelphia Preva. THE PLAYFUL egAL. Lots of Fun Iat Juggling 'Thing" In the Water With Its Whiskers, Seals have on either side oo the nese a little scattering bunch of whiskers or bristles something like. a oat's whispers: The bristles of the hair seal—the apepies at the aquarium at Battery park --rare pot so long as those of the fur seal, but they are three or four inches in length, and they are white and alehder and flex- ible. The older of the aquarium seals, which has been there about 2% years, gets a lot of fun out of its whiskers. It juggles things in the water with them for hours at a time. There may be floating in the pool a fragment of dish skin,.for instance, left from the last feeding. The seal will swim under this and raise it on the tips of its slender bending whiskers. The fragment floats away or dodges off with the agitation of the water caused by the seal's motions, and the seal swings its head under it and raises it again on its whisker tips. If it slides down a wave that ttlo seal has railed, the seal swims tlfter it. The seal is a verg rapid and graceful swimmer. Sometimes thimeal when it has tossed up the fragment of fish skin in this way will turn over in the water with a swiftspiral movement and cater the Haub skin on its bristles in Iv}1 its genres pp, It Is 'some- thing like a man 'tossing things up in the air and then turning -round rbid back in time to catch them,when they come down.
