A BROKER'S CONSCIENCE.
If. Beautiful, bat Momrtirur It lOddi
Spring- Should be Closely Kumlaml.
i A broker of this town hail some min
ing stock which he had long regarded
as worthless, and one day. when he
I found an opportunity to get rid of it at
! pretty fair consideration, he was very
happy. That very night, however, I
after he went home, he received a tele- j
gram announcing that this mine, of,
which he had sold the stock, had i
developed a lead of extraordinary rich- '
ness. An hour afterward the purchaser j
of the stock received a telegram from j
the broker, who desired to see him iiu- :
mediately ii)mc a subject of great im- j
lrortance. Tin hover .villcil unit hm 1
told bv the servant that the broker was
ill anil could not be seen.
"But I must see him; I have been
aeut for by him not half an hour ago."
The servaut went upstairs and
brought back word that the visitor
might go up.
The broker was in bed, moaning with
pain. The lights were turned low.
When the visitor entered the broker
began:
My dear Jones, I have had to-day
another of the dreadful attacks 1 am
subject to, and I am afraid this hist one
is going to 'do me up. I sent for 3011
to confess that I have taken ail vantage
of you in a business transaction, and I
want to make reparation before I die.
'Tliuf nnninir et.,L- f u,.lit t-tii .v,l.n-
" ... . .. . . . - I
was really worthless, ami it troubles
me that 1 took advantage of you."
"Oh, nonsense; that is all" right. . I
didn't pay you much for it. and 1 can
easily sell it to somebody else."
" No, that w ill not do. 1 w ant to
take it back and pay you buck your
money. I can't rest until I have made
this right."
"Oh, well, if you feel that way, of
course I will give you it back."
"Very well, aiuf while I am able to
sign a check I w ill prepare one, and.iu
the meanwhile, you can bring back the
stock."
The visitor went home, got the stock,
and, returning it. received the check
which the now utterly exhausted broker
had tilled out for him. He vfeut away
musing uxn the vicissitudes of human
life and tilled with profound sympathy
for the sorrow ing family of the rapidly
siuking broker.
Aud the broker? The moment his
customer w as out of the house he leaped
out of bed and gleefully danced around
the room in a manner that would have
aroused the envy of Canneiicita could
she have seen it". But the customer,
next day. when he learned of the rise
in the value of the stock, metaphorical
ly kicked himse'f for his stupidity in
being taken in by a broker's con

Warmth and Coolness of Clothing.
Clothing; jms.sesses no warmth in it
Self, but, as it is more or less a or '
conductor of heat.it prevents the escaje
of the bodily warmth. Woolen fabrics
contain a large quantity of air entang-l
led in their meshes which. - !eiiig a
poor conductor of heat, adds consider- j
ably to the warmth of clothing made ;
rrom mom. in not weather we wear
light cotton or linen clothing so as to
allow as much of the 1km lily heat to
escape as possible. There "is a pre
judice in favor of light-colored clothing
for summer wear, but it is hardly based
on scientific grounds. Dark-colored
cloth is the best radiator; allowing the
bodily heat to escajie freely, while
white clothing absorbs less of the heat
radiated directly from the sun. There
fore, to dress scientifically in summer,
one should wear dark clothing in the
shade and light clothing when exposed
to'the sun's ray's. Practically, the
matter of appearance is the only one
to be considered, as the warmth or
coolness of clothing is not apparently
affected by its color.
A ROMANCE OF CHINA.
How m Pumpkin-Kaiser in tha Land of tha
Sun Kose to loyalty.
China in its slow, shy way is enjoy
ing just now a little romance. Years
ago when the last Ming Emperor ended
his earthly troubles in a coal-mound in
Pekin. his heir was made a Manors,
and the Manchu dynasty succeeded to
the rule of the Land of the Sun. Dur
ing the reign of the last Emperor but
one the then holder of the Marqiiisate
died without sons and with no direct
heir to succeed to the titles and estates.
References to the family records
showed that the rightful heir was an
obscure personage, w ho had lieen com
pletely lost sight of, and search was
made for him everywhere by the offi
cials of the banner under which the
marquis was enrolled. High and low.
in byway aud highway, the gallant
knights of the banner sought for the
missing heir, and no trace could any
where be found of him. Nevertheless
he was close at baud all the time. Day
by day, for a goodly iiumls-r of years,
there had stood outside one of the
gates of Pekin a man with a barrow
crying pumpkins for sale a sort of
celestial costermonger. very rough,
very rustic, and totally uneducated.
Beneath his ragged ro!e, although he
dil not know it, there Ireat the heart of
a marquis, and those who had sought
the lost heir had passed him a hundred
times without knowing how close they
were to the object of their search. Ac
cident revealed it at last, and the coster
monger, bewildered and alarmed, was
conveyed, barrow and all, to the oflice
of the banner under the shadow of the
palace wall. With much difficulty the
idea was hammered iuto him that he
was no longer a pumpkin-seller that
he was a marquis and the descendant
of kings. When at length he under
stood, he permitted the banner to wash
and shave him and atix up his hair in
approved marqiiisate style, and clothe
him in costly garments which he
looked at, it is recorded, with a waver
ing and a doubtful eye. Then began a
painful period of polishing up, for be
fore he could be presented to the Em
peror the ex-coster had to Is taught
such elements of etiquette as his orig
inal profession had uot proved favor
able to, and had to learn also the few
Manchu phrases necessary for a presen
tation at court. When this was all
done his succession was allowed, ami
he went to his palace and took jrosses
sion. Report speaks of him as an
honest and kind-hearted man, who has
done his best to educate himself aud
fulfill the duties of his high Ksition.
He is about 54 years of age and still re
tains his rustic apjH'arance. The birth
of sons has secured the succession, so
that the family is now in as strong a
position as ever. It is his duty to offer
a sacrifice each Anlumn at the Ming
tombs. His palace is near one of the
gates of the imperial city, and he is
popularly known as the pumpkin Mar
quis. And in course of time a Celestial
novelist will arise, ami with a camel
hair pencil and a box' of paints, w ill
chronicle his romantic life under the
title of "Costermonger and Ccrouet;or,
from the Pumpkins to the Palace."

WHAT A REAL BATTLE IS.
LIUl Opportunity for IH.play of Heroic
or Poetic Cilorjr.
A battle does not consist, as many
imagine, in a granti ailvance of vic
torious lines of attack, sweeping every
thing before them, or the helter-skelter
flight of the unfortunate defeateiL The
historian must so present it in his de
scriptions, the artist in his paintings.
Even the writer of an official account
must limit himself to the presentation
of such moments as demand gecial
treatment, or to such episodes as in
volve important and instructive tactical
movements.
All those events which are less strik
ing, which pass more quietly, but
which nevertheless, contribute 'to the
final result cannot le reproduced with
out too much expansion. Those in
cidents which no account of the battle,
official or unofficial, takes auy jiote of
the thousand and one eveuts ol
served only by the participants, the in
numerable cases in which the direction
aud control of affairs glide out of the
hands of the officers these are the
little drops of water that make the
mighty ocean of battle and determine
victory or defeat.
The opening of the day of a great
battle is generally very prosaie. After
an uncomfortable night passe I in a
wet or cold bivouac, where the men.
wrapped in their great overcoats, have
been gathered shiverinr about the
camp fire, trying iu vain to get warm: j
after the simplest of breakfasts, of
which the dratiirht of ooor cold
water was me only palatable constitu
ent, the soldier gies forth to battle; in
deed, unusually long halts, uncom
fortable standing still under schrapuel
lire, or apparently useless camping iu
mud and under "small-arm lire await
him. The feeling of being eHsed to
the invisible missiles of the enemy,
mingled with the uncertainty as to
what is going on to the right and left.

view. Crazes of the Moment.
Ornamental liook-covers are among
the fancy-work "crazes" of the mo
ment. Much of the choice litera
ture of the day comes in inferior bind
ings, and it is truly valuable to know
that with a little ingenuity the same
can be made tasteful enough to orna
ment the drawing-room table. Of!
course it must be prefaced that these !
lsok-coverings are bits of economy, j
They are not for those who can afford j
to purchase choice literature in appro-1
priate clothing, but they are for those .
who covet the reading matter first and !
then seek to make it dulv oresen table. I
Very pretty covers are made of paste
board covered with line French satine
or cretonne, with a free-hand decora
tion of leaves or flowers. lXep-shaded
chrysanthemums with olive foliage
figure well on a pale-blue ground, or
azure-tinted forget-me-not sprays ai
ear well on violet-hued surfaces.
Coverings of white felt are also dura
ble, as are those of chamois skin and
kid, on which various designs more or
less elaltorate are executed. Those
outlined with fine cut-glass beads are
highly effective under the library lamp.
