There is a atory told of Mr. Glad jtone which would show that the true meaning of the old saying: "Do not mil your drinks," was unknown to the jieat statesman. It is said to have been his habit to let the wines which Swere served in the course of dinner mobilize at ins euiow, ana miring a pause in the conversation seize the glass that happened to ue nearest, un one occasion Mr. Gladstone, who had re freshed himself as usual in tins hap- d wny, inveighed against the practice of mixing wines. It was re spectfully pointed out to him that he bad been guilty of this very act; but he explained, to his ow n satisfaction, that to mix wines was to fill up half a glass of champagne from the port de- canterl Coruhill Magazine.

Queer Occupation Followed loung: KnKlUhwoman. by A young English wnmnn i Is inscribed "Miss Blank, Visiting Jew eler, is pioneer on a path that promises to lend to fortune; for iu this, the sec ond, year of her venture, she can boast of a long list of patronesses, containing many well-known mimes. Shortly after she found herself obliged to do something to make money she chanced to see a quantity of old fashioned jewelry which a friend had Inherited. In spite of their clumsy, out-of-date settings the beauty of the stones Inspired Miss Blank. She began to -make sketches of different ornaments In which they might be set, and so pret ty and original were her designs and so mucu ingenuity did she show In plan ning the rearrangement of the stones that her friend exclaimed: 'vv hy, you are a genius! Here Is vour vocation. You must go about, ask peo ple to get out all their old odds and ends of Jewelry, and then show them what beautiful things those same odds and ends would make." Then Miss Blank berjan to studv nre- cious stones and became a cood ludze of their value. This klinwlivlfo innn opened another branch of her chosen calling, namely, the selling and ex changing of stones, old ornaments, etc. Ior Instance, Mrs. A., who had opals. thought them unlucky, and was onlv too delighted to exchange them for the turquoises which Mrs. B. felt sure made l' iook sallow. Then Mrs. C. found one really line pearl set In an old-fashioned locket, was simply dying to match It and have a pair of earrings made, but could not afford the necessary outlay. However, she had diamond screws she was willing to part with, and now she sports in her ears most becoming big pearls. Then Mrs. D. had an unpaid dressmaker's bill on her conscience which she simply did not dare show to her husband. But Miss Blank, bv sell ing for her a quantity of old gold orna ments, enabled her to settle the account herself. As a matter of course, Miss Blank always keeps the names of ex changing parties secret, even from each other, and In their new settings the stones are not recognized. Next It occurred to Miss Blank that she might also undertake the cleaning of jewels, a matter which during the season she found greatly neglected by overworked maids. She has now earned quite a reputation as a "pearl doctor," for these gems which are found lying loose in the oyster shells and need no cutting or polishing to enhance their beauty, as if to make things even, re quire more careful usage than any other precious stone. They become dull and discolored, or, as jewelers express' It, get "sick" and "die." On one occasion, when a large, badly discolored pearl given her to experiment on resisted her treatments, she deter mined to try an ancient recipe, found In some musty pamphlet. This set forth that the gastric juice of fowls had a wonderful effect on dull yellow pearls, and would, If applied according to di rections, quickly restore their original beauty. So, In fear and trembling, Miss Blank fed the big pearl to a rooster, which she securely confined, and, as the recipe prescribed, after two hours' time killed it snd relieved It of Its valuable luncheon. As to the result, her own words were: "Of course, I felt like nothing more hot less than a murderess, but the pearl was ever so much lm proved." What Are Truffles?

"Wall paper sold by the yard" is the announcement made by a certain deal er, who certainly deserves to be on the high road to popularity. How many people of moderate means have had the bewildering experience of selecting pa per which is marked very cheap by the " '""i iu inu a tremendous bill sent in for papering the room. There is such confusion in the use of the terms piece or roll, that misunder standing arise, and paterfamilias opens his eyes when he sees the tradesmen's accounts sent in for papering a room with paper whioh appeared to be very cheap when priced. But when the fabric is sold by the yard, and when it is distinctly understood beforehand what are to be the charges for wall schaping and putting on ofjjnew paper, there cannot be much margin for un pleasant suprises. Exactitude in count ing the cost is a great factor in do mestic comfort, where the income -is limited and there are many demands upon it. To Electrocute a Safety Vault.

The wire will be attached to a carbon, which will be manipulated with a heavy handle. Thr will caas t!;s rail...,. over the stee1! walls, burning them in intersecting lines. Born With a Needle in Hi tee. Mrs. Oscar Stanley, of Anderson. Ind., gave birth to a baby boy recently. When it was placed in care of the nurse, she found a rather peculiar pim ple on the inside of its thigh. She thought nothing of it at first, but it began to get very sore, and also became very large. The other day when she was bathing the child her hand came in contact witli a sharp object, which proved to be a needle. The little one had come into this thorny world with the needle buried in his flesh. Might Prevent Eating;. According to the Australian Standard and Diggers' News, a scare has been created among the natives in Durban by an absurd idea they have got that in vaccination against smallpox the throat is to be operated upon, which, as they put it, will prevent them eat ing. The result is that a good many have suddenly left for their kraals, as many as 400 depositing their badges in one day. Popular 'Phone Service.
