A few items will be sufficient to ebow the aehie Upon which the ring had conducted its financial poilcy,: Forty odd 'chairs and three tables had a record value of ;170,729.60. A. charge ter repairing fixtures, through J. E. geyser do Oq., was $1,- 140,874.50. Thermonseters; *7;500. Another charge for furniture, through Ingersoll & Co., 8240,564.03. A single item pt stationery was set down at $186,405.41. What, in heaven's name, couldthe 61,vent; have paid for with stationery bought at ring rates? Then there were carpets, shades and curtains, also supplied by that marvel- ous firm, Ingersoll & Co., at the fairly comfortable figure of 8075,534.44. Nor must we overlook one G, S. Miller, a carpenter, who was set down as hav- lug received $360,747.61 for one month's. work. But Garvey, Andrew J. Garvey, the plasterer! Generations of plasterers yet unborn will take off their hats to his memory: Two million eight hun- dred and seventy thousand four hun- dred and sixty-fourdollars and six cents had he earned at hts humble trade in the brief period of nine months. It is unnecessary to go further into the details of this monster and mon- strous fraud; 85,663,246.83 had been paid through the singlb "firm" of In- gersoll & Co. Matthew •J O'Rourke, who since that time mltde a 'careful study of the city's finances, states that, counting the vast issues of fraudulent bonds, the swin- dling of tare city by wealthy tax dodg- ers, •lay franchises and favors granted, by blaelmsiail and extortion, the total amount of the city's loss through the Tweed ring stands at not less than *200,000,000. , PROVERBS ABOUT CZARS. A czar in the desert is only a man. The czar himself can get muddy if he steps in the niud. • Even the crown of the czar cannot cure headache. The .czar's crows cannot have more than two horns. A drop of water in the eye of the czar costs the country a great many handkerchiefs. When the czar makes you a present of an egg he expects of you a hen. The czar can disturb the earth, but he cannot move it from its axis. The czar knows not misery because he does not live in a cabin. The arm of the czar is long, but it cannot reach to the sky. The voice of the czar has an echo even when there are no mountains. The ukases of the. czar are worth nothing if God says not "Amen." The horse which has once been mounted by the czar neighs continu- ally. Dress In Japan. Between the sexes in Japan there is very little difference in the main fea- tures of dress, and little children are only beautiful little miniatures of their parents, more gayly and richly dressed. Under his kimono a man of the upper class wears a sort of kilted divided skirt, something approaching the na- ture of trousers. This is called the "haliama" and is always made of stiff silk. A woman wears instead an uu- der kimono. Both sexes wear two lit- tle aprons round the loins, called "koshi-maki," and a sort of shirt called the "suso-yoke." The narrow sash worn by a man is not an item of great importance, for, although it is always made of rich silk, it is not so much for show as for use, to keep the kimono in place. Girls and the Old Schools. A. ruling for a New Haven school made in 1684 reads, "And all girls be excluded as improper and inconsistent with such a grammar School as ye law injoins and is the designe of this set- tlement" One Benjamin Mudge, a New England schoolmaster of many years' service, has left the following interesting memorandum: "In all my school days, which ended in 1801, I never saw'but three females in public schools in my life, and they were only in the afternoon to learn to write." Mr. Mudge neglects to say, however, that the girls were permitted not only to the writing lessons, but they were also privileged to attend the general Annual catechising. Poet or Organ Grinder. "I sometimes feel," bitterly confided the wife of the great poet to her sis- ter, "that I would have been happier With an organ grinder. Then we could at least pass the hat around unabash- ed. The pride that goes with great gifts too Often Walks hand in hand With starvation to satisfy an ordinary Woman.". His Case Hopeless. "There are at least a thousand geed reasons why I should marry her." "Well, what are they 7" "First, because I want to and she herself is the other 999." Ste Faith In the Old Adage.

"The visitor returned to him- " 'Will im."'Will you tell me what amuses you?' she said. "'Why, ma'am,' said he, 'here you haveiven mer g a tract on the sin of dancing when I've got both legs shot ofl., " Careful, of Her Nose. Many interesting stories of courtiers and favorites at the old French court are found in the memoirs of the Mar- quise de Crequy. She says that on cer- tain solemn occasions kings of France wore ermine linings to their robes, but ermine became scarce, and she writes: "The anointing of Louis XV. was re- tarded some years for want of this fur for the court mantles, and at the coro- nation • of Louis XIV. they actually used catskin." Superbly elegant was the Duchesse de la Kerte, who generally was carried around under a canopy. The marquise goes into ecstasies con- cerning this particular duchesse, whose eyes "had the most disdainful expres- sion I ever saw, though they had a Alight cast in them." But her supreme elegance can be appreciated when it is known "she never blew her nose for fear of spoiling her Greek contour, but dabbed it at intervals with a small square of cambric." Benjamin Franklin's Wife. A very unflattering description of Benjamin Franklin's wife is taken from the diary of Daniel Fisher, who was Franklin's secretary for a short time. "She sat on the floor at a neigh- bor's. She assumed the airs of extraor- dinary freedom sand great humility, lamented heavily the misfortunes' of those who are unhappily infected with a too tender or benevolent disposition, said she believed all the world claimed the privilege of troubling her poppy— so slie usually' calls 11r. Franklin—with their calamities and distress, giving us a general history of ninny such wretch- es and their impertinent applications," , He mentions "the turbulence and jeal- ousy and pride of her disposition" and the violence of her invectives. Pointing to Franklin's son one day, she exclaim- ed, "There goes the greatest villain up- on earth!" Books In Series. While it is certainly a pretty sight to see a long row of books in a neat and uniform binding, like soldiers on pa- rade, there is a distinct loss of indi- viduality. As you glance over your books upon their shelves it is pleasant to recognize them from their outward dress. They keep themselves better in mind if each one is not exactly like its neighbors. You are even likely to for- get what you have If you cannot know them from across the room. We often go to the bookcase looking simply fur "something to read," and then it is an advantage to know each book at the first glance. Of course this does not apply so strongly to the works of a single author. These belong in a uniform, and you know what is among them. Flirting In Japan. A Japanese woman flirts—as far as she knows the meaning of the word— with her sleeves and fan and not with her eyes and smiles. By the different movements of the ends of her kimono sleeves she manages to convey to her admirers all sorts of unspoken mes- sages, and by the opening and shutting of her fan to the right or to the left she can reject or accept the most weighty offers. Her code signaling with her sleeves and fan is quite an item of her social education. French Soldiers' Handkerchiefs. The cotton handkerchiefs provided or rent so els as es pr n e upon them a ntunber of sanitary precepts to be observed on the march and during a campaign and are further decorated . with medallions containing pictures of officers of all grades, the different ani• forms being so distinctly portrayed that a French private can tell at a glance to what grade any officer he may see belongs.

An old German historian of Tubin- gen describes an attack by the French in 1674 during which eighteen persons were killed by the exploding of a mine. A. soldier's wife was thrown the distance of an acre. She was not hurt, the chronicler adds quaintly, "but she scolded terribly and was in a very bad humor." After the Quarrel.

James Baker, a well known ti'avelef and writer, tells a curious story of a war 100 years ago. The Persian sisals was besieging Tiflis, and the husbf.nd of the Princess Salome had been shin in the siege. When the Persians en- tered and sacked the town Salome tried to save her young sou. but he was torn from her arms uud backed, in plecesa Before her eyes. Her own life was spared and she wits borne to the camp outside the walls of Tiflis to the shah. He sold her to Djafar leek, who shut her up in a castle—a part of which still remains—near where- now is the lovely tropical botanical garden of Tiflis. Charmed by her beauty. he ask- ed her to become his wife. Slue re- fused and begged her eureliaaer to slay her. The Persian gave her a night to reconsider the matter and on the next day he lay reclining on n great cushion under a tree on that hot, sun- ny unny hillside and awaited her answer. Presently she appeared before him, veiled in u long, pure white robe. calm and stately, her face deathly pale. She advanced, her armed juliers following Ler. 'i lie 1'ersian waved his followers aside and asked the princess, "You con- sent to be my wife?" "Yes," was the solemnanswer. o "I consent to love you, for after the death of my husband and son it is my destiny; there is no other fate for me. "In Georgia," said the princess, "there are certain families that possess strange powers and dark secrets. My *mother foretol( I should be the wife of o Djafar, e,uditom my mother 1, too, receive these powers to read the fu- ture." The Persian was impressed by her manner and her presence. She saw her power. "Give me your hand," she said. "Let me read there if I shall have log years of happiness with you." He held forth his hand. • She held it until it slightly trembled in her fingers. Then she burst forth with a cry of horror, "Oh, my master, know - eat thou that death awaits thee, per- chance this very night?" Dpjafar Bek trembled now. "Thou wilt die by the hand of a man thou bast this day of- fended." "Is it by Assa Dhoulla Bek?" he asked. "We quarreled today, and about you. He would .have bought you." "Ob, my master," exclaimed Salome, "to save thee I must have some object upon which he has looked today, then I can avert this evil and make his arms useless against thee." "What! You can do this?" exclaimed Djafar incredulously. "Most certainly. Give me your dagger." He drew it and handed it to her. She held it up and, looking up to the blue heavens above, murmured a prayer; then, bantling it back to him said: "Now it is useless, It can slay no one." He looked at her unbelievingly. "Try it," she exclaim- ed. "Strike here!" He struck the blow where her finger rested full upon her heart. The keen blade went swiftly, home, and she fell at his feet, exclaim- ing, "0 God, receive my soul!" Then she lay dead. Iron Making In Early History. Iron was used before history wad written. The stone records of Egypt and the brick books of Nineveh men- tion it. Genesis (ix, 22) refers to Tu• balcain as "as instructor of every ar- tificer in brass and iron," and in Deu- teronomy (iii, 11) the bedstead of the giant Og was "a bedstead of iron." The galleys of Tyre and Sidon traded in this metal. Chinese records ascrib- ed to 2,000 B. C. refer to it. Horace speaks of it as superior to bronze. The bronze age came before the iron age because copper, found as a nearly pure metal, easily fuses, and with another soft metal—tin or zinc—alloys into hard bronze, while iron, found only as an ore, must have the impurities burn- ed and hammered out by great heat and force before It can be made into a tool. Not a Favorite Breed. Lo'rers of good, plain dogs which have been allowed to grow naturally will appreciate the story of the Eng- lish peddler who went to a dealer in dogs and thus described what he wanted: "Ili wants a kind of dog about so 'igh an' so long. Hit's a kind of gry. 'ound, an' yit it ain't a gry'ound, be- cause 'Is tyle is Shorter nor any o' these 'ere gry'otinds an' 'is nose is shorter an' 'e ain't be slim round the body. But still 'e's a kind o' gry'ound. Do you keep such dogs?" "No," replied the dog man. '!We drowns 'em." PEARL FISHERIES. How Oa };ellsAsa Obtal■edl suaal Miss vexed of Tia Cello's. Since Keats told how "the Ceylon. diver held his breath and went, all. naked, to the hungry shark" many poets have exhausted the resources of their imagination in trying to describe the wonderful pearl fisheries of Cep, len, A few facts about thenk lnay be of interest, it only as an antidote to so much poetry. The pearl fisheries are the property of the government of Ceylon. The divers are paid no wages, but receive one-third. of the oysters they bring up, the remaining two-thirds being taken by a government agent and sold at public auction to speculative buyers, who gather from all parts of the ori - eat. The pearl fishery usually lasts from thirty to forty days, but does not take place every year. If it did the o stor banks would soon be ruined. Sometimes several years are allowed to pass by without a fishery. The diving is done after a primitive fashion, and the stories told about the marvelous length of time the divers will remain under water are quite un- founded. the record is 1 minute 49 seconds, The auction, which lasts for several days, is one of the most interesting sights to be seen in Asia. The oysters are sold in lots of 1,000, and of course the purchaser is buying "a pig in a poke." There may be no pearls in any of his oysters or the first one he opens. niay give him a fortune. This risk ap- peals to the gambling spirit of the orient, and pretty nearly all the races from the Persian gulf to Japan are represented at the sale. Tile prices paid usually start low on the first day. Then if the buyers have found pearls in fair quantities bidding is keen, and the prices jump skyward. One year they varied from 15s. 4d, pet 1,000 on the first day to £12 17s. 10d, on the second. It is remarkable that the fisheries are still so profitable, for there are historical records that they were work- ed therte.300 years before the birth of Christ, and it is impossible to say how many years before that date. PITH AND POINT. You are not expected to accept all of your invitations. Quit talking when it is plain the other fellow isn't listening. We wish we could have as good a time as young people think they are having. Our punishment used to hang on a nail behind the kitchen door. Where did yours used to hang? No matter how rich or influential any man becomes, he can never be as in- dependent as a hired girl. All the old people seem to be look- ing for the impossible—young people with no foolishness about them. Occasionally a roan talks of "always wanting to do what's right," as if he thought he had a monopoly on the desire. Passitag of the "Rube." The "countryman" promises to be- come extinct in the United States. The "rube" is to follow the mastodon, the Indian and the buffalo. The gen- eration that conies after us will find it hard to understand some of the pres- ent day jokes of the "b'gosh," "I swan" and "go] Bern" kind. Already quite as many city folk buy gold bricks in the country as country folk do in the city. In fact, the biggest and brightest gold bricks find their market in town.

Coal has become man's chief worker, and horse labor and human manual labor are slowly being pushed aside. In the great transformation it has been brain power that has triumphed over brute strength. Man first sought to shift his burden to the backs of the beasts of the field, and the horse became his patient friend and assist- ant, but now he seeks to harness the elemental forces of nature to do his bidding. The burden is thus lightened without cruelty to any living creature. Neither man nor beast has had his la bors increased, but steadily decreased, —St. Nicholas. How He Was Identified. Josiah Quincy of Boston told with glee of how he was once identified by a laborer who was enlightening a friend. "'That is Josiah Quincy," said the first laborer. "An' who is Josiah Quincy?" de- manded the other. "Don't ye know who Josiah Quincy is?" demanded the first man. "I niver saw sich ignorance.

A number of years ago a poverty stricken painter, since fawnous and prosperous, went to Paris from It roam try village and .entered the studio of Gerome at the klcole des Iicaux Arts, The new student's first day chaneed to be "criticism day,"and the older stu- dents, finding themselves „cheated out of their customary boisterous hazing by Ma circumstance, resolved to have their fun In an indirect fashlou, Accordingly they took the novice aside and impressed upon him in the most friendly and confidential' way im- aginable that he was under the obliga- tion of giving a tip to the professor when he criticised his work. Incredu- lous at first, the callow youth let him- self be convinced and promised to do the proper thing, His means were so small that he awaited his turn with an 111 concealed anxiety which those in the plot relished keenly. When his turn cane he convulsed d the room by slipping a half franc piece into the pro- fessor's hand. Gerorne bas too familiar with the practical jokes of the Beaux Arts not to comprehend the situation, and had much ado to keep his countenance. Ile succeeded, however, and blurted out with the gruffness which he assumed so admirably: "What does this mean? You'll do well to come to see me some fine morn- ing and straighten this thing out." The bewildered pupil interpreted the admonition literally and presented him- self at Gerome's private studio two days later. Genome received him like a father, led him on to confess his des- titution and to unburden himself of hie hopes and fears, gave him good coun- sel and restored to him his half franc piece in the form of a twenty franc gold piece. THE MARQUIS PAID. HOW the Farno:iN Surgeon Velpeau Treated a Free Patient. The famous surgeon Velpeau was visited one day at his house during the consultation hour by a marquis re- nowned for his closeness. Velpeau in- formed the marquis tbat an operation was urgent and that the fee would amount to 4,000 francs. At this the marquis made a wry face and Ieft. A. fortnight later Dr. Velpeau, while mak- ing bis rounds in the Hospital de la Charite, had his attention attracted by a face that seemed familiar to him. In answer to his inquiry it was stated that the patient was a footman of a nobleman in the Faubourg St. Ger- main. The surgeon found that his case resembled in every particular the somewhat unusual one for which the marquis bad consulted Mm a fortnight previously. He refrained, however, from making anycomments. Three weeks after the operation, when the patient was about to be dis- charged, Dr. Velpeau called Min aside and exclaimed: "Monsieur, I am ex- tremely flattered and pleased to have been able to cure you. There is, how- ever, a small formality with which you will have to comply before I can sign your exeat—that is, you will have to sign a check for 1,000 francs in be- half of the public charity bureau of your metropolitan district." The ia- tieut's face became livid. "You can do what you like about it," continued the doctor, "but if you refuse all Paris will know tomorrow that the Marquis de D. adopted the disguise of a foot- man in order to secure free treatment at this hospital and to usurp the place which belongs by right to a pauper." Of course the marquis paid. Cobweb Pills. Andrew Wilson, the well known nat- uralist and writer, in commenting on Culpepper's "Complete Method," pub- lished in 1632, shows how this enabled a man to "cure himself, being nick, for threepence charge, with such things only as grow in England, they beieg most fit for English bodies."

A physician tells the Washington Post It is a widespread but erroneous notion that the growth of ivy on the exterior walls of residences creates a damp habitation. He is satisfied a lit- tle reflection will convince any one of the fallacy of this proposition. The ivy, instead of contributing to dampness has rather an opposite influence, since It must extract moisture from the brick or stone tbat it overruns. The dampness of these is what gives life to the plant, so that the interior of the house is rendered drier than it would be otherwise. y s.
