Goldsmith of Antwerp.
j T waa In the bejinnlng of
the alxteetvta century. A
! wonderfully fin Sunday
morning 4n winter hud
j(Ju dawned; the clear, colt win
fi I ter sun waa sparkling on
the anow-eovered roof of
Antwerp. The sunbeams
climbed and glided merrily along the
house, gliding the glittering stained
glai ' window-panes. Then they
Jumped gleefully over to the smooth
Held of ice formed by the froten
canals whloh encircle the. city.
At the ncrth end of ihe town, a
mall, well-frosen lake had beeii
formed by the cutlets of the smaller
canal. Church was Juat over; the
last sounds of the bell were at III
trembling cn the crisp air, as thoy
died away. A merry throng was on
the lake; a delightful picture of youth
ful gayety presented Itself to the vis
itor. The slender forma of you. ha
and maiden, with their glittering
skates, seemed to skim along as If
driven by the wind. Two by two,
the older one skated by, followed by
boys and girls, forming long chains.
Every now and Uwn, a pret'.y girl
wept by all the other skater, who
bowed to her respectfully and .va'.chsd
her with admiration. But, like a
proud swan, she went on farther and
farther. Her elegant dress batnyed
the wealthy pitrlclan. A blue vel
vet gown, falling In rich fold, and
trimmed wtth One fur, envHop.nl her
form, and under the turban which
he wore, and which was trimmed
with flowing red plumes, gleamed a
mass of golden hair which fell In two
heavy braids to the edge of her gown.
The wonderful, dreamy eye In her
beautiful aristocratic face often
looked searchlngly among the young
patricians, but only to turn away In
disappointment and with Intense
longing. "
Finally the form of a young nun,
coming from the other end of the lake,
came gliding toward the pr.-tty
skater. He.' eyesfprkled with Joy,
he bowed to her reverently but thun
he confidently grasped the little hands
which she stretched toward - him.
They glided on In sltonce for some
time.
"Why did you remain att alone,
Antje?" he asked suddenly, "the
young patricians will think It haughti
ness on your part."
Antje drew up her rosy Hps In
corn. "That Just suits me. Cousin
Adrian!" she laughed, "I wanted to
wait for you undisturbed!"
"Oh! Antje, you must not do It; as
grateful as your cousin 1 to you for
your friendship, you must never for
get what a deep, immeasurable abyss
separates the wealthy Anna Van Der
ftoUt from the poor goldsmith, Adrian
Van Berwc-Jiotten!" The handsome
man spoke earnestly and mildly, but
not without a painful twitch of hit
finely curved lips.
'Oh!" pouted Antje, "but suppose
I do Jiot like anyone else as well as
poor Alrian!" and with a prouJ,
loving look she scanned his noble,
stalwart form In Its plain brown
doublet.
"Adrian! do ycu know whom you
resemble In comparison with the
gaudy patricians? You are like the
falcon among the bullfinches!"
"Sweet child, It Is well that you can
Jest; I feel as If I should like to die
for I come t3 you today for the
l&at time to bid you farewell I am
going to England!"
"Oo!" ehe said dolly. She pushed
hlra from her, but only to draw her
self up again, closer and more con
fidingly to him.' It seomed as If th?y
were made one for the other, for
they were the most distinguished-looking
couple among the crowd )f young
people.
"You seo, Antje I must aro, hard
as It Is for me to do so. My honor
demands It. It Is my duty. Shall I
notice, Antje, how my little cousin's
affection grow stronger, day by day?
To say nothing of my own heartacho!
And to know that we may never come
together! It Is better that I go whila
my Antje 4s still young, so that she
may more easily forget the poor gold
smith. You will know end Jove a
better mrn, but I shall remain true
to my first lovs!"
"Adrian! I shall never love anyono
fi but you!"
"Foot Antje! It Is in vain; the
proud Mynheer Van Der Solst will
never glv his only child in marriage
o a poor apprentice"
"You are an artist, Adrian," Antje
ararwpred Vpmolously. "Even today
I will be the wooer for you at my
father's feet!"
Adrian shook his head, "You don't
understand Mynheer's patrician
pride!" He tore himself away, vio
lently. "Farewell, Antje!"
"Soon I will send you good n.ws!"
Antje called after him.
He smiled sadly, waved one final
farewell, and disappeared.
: . -
The finest house on the Schelde
quay belonged to Mynheer Van Der
Solst.
A stately repose reigned In the re'
ception ha.ll, covered with rugs and
decorated with large chests, mirrors,
weapons and shields, which led to a
suite of richly furnished apartments,
im? iai one was Antje's own, a
charming and dainty room.
Rare tropical plants adorned it.
Costly silver covered the toilet-table.
Heavy red llk draperies fell from
the golden crown of the tester of her
bed. Gobelin tapestries from Brabant
showed scenes from the Bible. In the
midst of this splendor, Antje sat, In
the cosy, upholstered bay-window,
and gazed sadly out upon the dead
winter landscape. Her eyes were red
from wjeplng now and then a soft
sob escaped her half-opened Hps.
Tnere had been a tsrrtble scene.
Mynheer her father, who had, al
ways been so kind and lenlemt now
swore high and low that only a
wealthy merchant should bicime the
.husband uf hl only daughtor. "I
will never give you to that inxir Ug
gar!" was hi tail word.
It wa not on account of ths dif
ference In tank, for th goldsmith's
art was groatly honored In the six
teenth century, but Mynheer consid
ered Adrian an Mb dreamer.
"Profession has no golden bottom
with that fellow!" grumbled the ex
cited man. "I hall never entrust
my gnu kt bit-wing to a man who
will never be prosperous!"
Tim crept slowly and weUhed
heavily uu Antje; finally she found
some diversion in her mbrutitary
frame. The beautiful lace collar upon
which sh ww at wv.rb had be,it In
tended for a bridal rftft for Adrian.
"Now the collar shall ornament my
shroud!" thought Antje, and guvs
way to sombre thouirhts. She did not
even notice that she had repeatedly
pricked her middle ringer, until the
large drop of blood from It hud al
ready made a large red spot; the tin
Brussels cambric was spoiled. Antje
angrily threw the frame Into a cor
ner, JuMt thiMi, UrWu, her ntald, en
tered and handed Antje a small pack
age bearing Adrian's Jhnnd-wrttlng.
Quickly AnU bloke the seal; ft
small silver article, set with a blue
stone, fell out and rolled dawn to
AnUe' feet. Inquisitively, Antje
picked It up. and looked at the
straitge trinket In astonishment; then
put It down Indifferently, took up the
parchment and read:
"My dear, sweet Antje, I knew very
well that you would not send we a
good message. Now I am on my way
to England; In-Hove me, I act only
from motive of lure, disinterested
love. But you, my dear chil l, must
obey your noble father, who la mix
lous for your welftir only.
"Farewell, my darling! Be happy,
and try to forget.
"Ever your loving
ADRIAN,"
"1 8. Perhaps I may give you Just
a little souvuilr! The silver trinket
Is a little cap which I thought of for
the protection of ywur delicate finger,
when I noticed how often you pricked
It at your embroidery."
Then Antje alternately pressed ;h
letter and the little finger-cup to her
lips, and held up her hand as sh
made the vow: "Adrian, I wilt wait
until you return to take your Antji
with you!"

A WAR HKLIC.-Colonel Jhn Lane
of Pendleton, Or., Is th owner of
valuable relic. It Is a sword once tht
Iniperty of Don Antonio Lopes de
Santa Anna, leader of the Mexican
fortes in their war with the I'nUed
Plates in 1817. Shortly after the cap
itulation of the City of Mexico In
fcepttmber. 1817, General Santa Anna
surrendered to Cenerul Joe Lane,
father of Colonel John Iane, ttnd
turned ove.- to him two swords which
he had been iwing. This particular
sword ba a blade thirty-four Inches
In length, with nn elaborately chased
hilt and scabbard. Upon the hilt are
engraved the words "Mexlcana Repub
lics." MARGARINE IN RUSSIA.
It is nut genwully known (says Ihe
Mark Lane Kxr) that Kumla has
In force a very stringent Margarine
set, the most stringent in terms, In
deed, whatever !t may be In execu
tion, of all laws of the kind that have
been promulgated. In the first place,
the manufacture of m.irgarine is sub
jected to an Indefinite excise duty,
the amount bslng left to be dtrter
mlivcd by the ministry In each case.
Another provision declares that mar
gnrine tfhall be mude In some bright
color other than yellow, jnd the
cuces containing it are to be of the
same color, as well as having In
scribed uron them the words "Mar
garine fat." The sale of the com mo 1
Ity must not be carried on In shops
in which genuine butter is sold, and
those In which the former article Is
on sale must beir a signboard notify
ing iflie fact. The next provision goes
beyond that of any other margarine
act, as It requires tha proprietors of
hotels, cook shops, restaurants, or
other public establishments In which
food is preim.rl to exhibit In a con
spicuous place and on every bill of
fare a notice slating that t'hwlr dishes
are prepared with margarine, If that
bo the case. Lastly the importation
of margarine fat Is prohibited.
DAIRY NOTES.
The cream should be well ripened
teforo churning in order to get out
all the butter fat.
You can't have good butter If yon
have no better place for tihe milk and
cream t'han the cellar, where turnips,
onions, etc., are kept.
A good reputation is of Inestimable
vulue In the dairy business, but it
can be greatly 1m pared by marketing
a single Inferior package of butter,
The plague of files can be very
largely avoided, Bayn a dairyman, by
rubbing the horse and the oows all
over with a jponge dipped in soap
suds in which a small quantity of car
bolic acid 'has been mixed.
It Is estimated that tho United
States has 17,000,000 cows. If only two
cents per pound be added to the value
of the butter, it would amount lo
$50,000,000 annually.
I have nevw known a man, with
even a mnmll herd of cows, to be
tbllgcd to mortgage his crop ahead
for provisions, fays an observing man
But I ihave seen a poor fa-rm-ir, with
a large family of children, and grass
growing ail around him, buying but
ter at 25 cents a pound, to feed tho
tramp labor that throshe his whe.it;
because, as he sold, there was no
money In butter. That man lost his
farm, and conoolod Mmelf by saying
It was cheaper to rent.

A good story says the Illllsboro Inde

on Colonel T, R, Cornelius. A few
year3 ago he had a lot of goats which
In summer browsed on some oak grubs
on his old donation land claim, On one
occasion he wonted to house them In
a burn. Accordingly he stationed him
self so as to turn the goat column Into
the front barn door. He had stood
there some time as the stream of goats
came around tho barn corner from a
back pasture, when Bill Kane a neigh
bor rede up. Kane had a large, sized
smile on his face as he accosted T, R.
with "Colonel, you are housing your
goats, I see." "Yes, I want to select
out a few, but didn't know I had uo
many."
"Well, don't you think you had bet
ter fchut that upper back window?
Maybe there won't appear to be so
many then." An investigation showed
that the goats went In at the front
door, Jumped on a mow of hay and
passed out of an upper window, then
around to the front again. This circle
of gout had deceived Colonel Tom as
to tho number ho owned.

of Die band, and a dom is swung

it.d you are In th famous gambling
lull of Monte Carlo,
The spectacle Is fsml.lar. You Imvo
tften seen it reproduced In th ttiu
(rated papers. There Is a range of
huge, lofiy rooms, nut unprcp wsess

heavy In style, It would be ! finest
p.itce In the world for a great ball or

eult has a couple of ling IiiMm, s
nrrutKl ese'i tliTJ Sle, sitting and
stnr.illng, a hundred p?rwMi of both
sexes, most of tMm. with a m:tse In
the game, ths minority being passlv
onlookers like yourself, Th few
words that are spoken sre uttered In
nu undertone, except im th part of
the muster of ceremonies at each ta
ble, it ml tie calls occasionally a num
ber or a color and cries In a French
which you reudlly recognise; "Gentle
men, rnnko your play." Then the
Indies and gentlemen throw down
their flvefrne pieces ir their Na
poleons, There are only two or three
In Mc fur cards; all the rest nr for
thj whei-l. Thers nr six or eight men

keeping their eyes on shady customer
atuT shady practices, and holding them
selves In teadlness to settle dispute
oh" lis nd, As soon ns the wtind has
stopped and the number I cried there
Is a prodigious clink of silver and gold
as th piece are wheeled In by the
hunker, or unceremoniously tossed to
the winner. The wonder of It Is how
the officials of the gam keep tally of
the wliin irs and th winning. The
buKlitcss Is done In a twinkling. As
coin fly about the tsble, player hav
to keep a wry watch so that they
come Into their own with usury,. For,
In tho pre around the tables, there
sr respectable-looking person who
will take what doe not belong to
them If they see a chance. They ssy
at Mont Carlo that the wwnn who
play much art tho nntu unscrupulous
lu the trifles. Perhaps this Is a
slander. I would not undertake to
vaunh for tho male habitues, nor will
you after you hav seen much of
them.
You toam from tnhl to table. Th

Candor forces the coiifewilon Hist the

every nationality of Chrlwtendom is

on some pretext or other. Him has
rut thinner raised her vole than one
of the superintendents of the game
Is at her ld eoun.ouly explaining

her, Or perhaps it is a man who

most profitable slock In trade.
The RHpei't ot thlngn is sordid, not

the cheap and dowdy throng that
in uke up the Casino life at Monte
Cnrlo today. Whatever Mont Carlo
may have been In ieni,n past, It I
r.o longer "smart." I am oppressed
with the dowdylsm of the humanity
which display Itself here Jut now,
a dowilylsm which greet all the air
snd grace of a brilliant and fascinat

making Itself only ridiculous and
sordid and vulgar. The powdered and

Therefore, I say, you will bo disap

gilded sham, and you get out of It
Into the open air wllh a feeling of
