In all this wealth of strange adorn

oration was a little ball, oblong In
shape and grayish-brown In color.
It was partially incased in gold fill
gree work and was worn suspended
from the belt by a tiny gold chain.
There was a gold pin at one end 01

girl from Europe would unharness the
trinket and apply It to her nostrils with
deep whiffs of satisfaction. The vis

"I do wish you'd tell me what that
thing Is."

said "I was trying to arouse your
curiosity. Here, take a whiff yourself
and see if you recognize the perfume.'
The visitor raised the little ball to
the tip of ber own nose and drew sev
eral long breaths. "Why," she said,
"it smells for all the world like a nut
meg."
And that's Just what It Is," said the
girl from Europe.
The visitor sat down In a state of
collapse. "You don't mean to say,
she Interrogated, "that they are wear
ing nutmegs over in Europe?"
"Well, no," returned the girl from
Europe. "They're not exactly wear
ing them In loads, but they do have
them. They are rather exclusive as
yet The fact is I am reviving an old
custom. I always did have a knack
you know, of doing odd things. When
I go Into strange places 1 don't go
mooning around In a sleepy kind of
way, but I keep my eyes and ears
open, and the consequence Is I see and
hear a good many things In the course
of a week that other people wouldn'
find out in a lifetime. One of the
things I discovered In England was
the old nutmeg custom. There are
number of them In museums that were
used by fine ladles of past genera
tions. Those nutmegs were Incased
In gold, just like this, but the casings
were set with jewels and were natural
ly very expensive.
"I haven't the Jewels, but I've got
the nutmeg and the gold filigree for
starter, and when I go around taking
refreshing whiffs at this fragrant lit
tie knob I feel as If I had been just
resurrected from a seventeenth-cea
tury mausoleum and was tickling my
senses with the odor of a nutmeg of
long ago. I always did like the smell
of nutmeg, anyway, even In custards
and apple pie. I knew a number of
people in England this summer who
followed my lead by coming
with gold nutmegs."
The visitor returned the gold case
with Its 5-cent ball of perfume.
"WelU she said, "of alt the fada I
ever heard ot that Is the most ridicu
lous. Do you suppose it will take?"
"Quite likely," said the girl from
Europe, according to the New York
Times. "History has already repeat

I'm doing all I can to push the nut

ANECDOTES OF CARLYLE.
Ho Did Mot Look with raver oa Kr

la a paper la the Century James D.
Hague records these recollections of a
visit to Thomas Carlyle In company
with Professor Tyndall and Rear-Admiral
Raymond Rogers.
The talk touched mainly upon topics
of the day. I remember that there
was some discussion concerning the
Revised Version of the Scriptures, In
which work a commission of eminent
scholars and theologians was at that
time engaged. Carlyle seemed to re
gard the undertaking with but little
favor. He thought It useless, and said
he believed the old familiar version
would retain Its place with the com
mon people. Little good was to be
hoped for from the new. "One thing
Is certain," he aald: "every man who
helped to make the old version be
lieved that unless he did his whole
duty he would be eternally damned.
while not a single one of the new lot
believes anything of the sort"
Early la the conversation Carlyle ap
parently, Interested in the personality
of his visitors, turned to me with an
Inquiry touching my vocation and ca
reer. I told him I was a practical ge
ologist especially concerned In mining
pursuits.
"What do you mine forr he asked.
"Gold and silver." I replied.
"Gold!" he exclaimed. "You mine for
gold! That's a good-for-nothing pur
suit The biggest gold nugget ever
found was never half so useful to the
world as one good, mealy potato."
I sought to defend my position by
saying that many a good, mealy pota
to and many other things of equal val
ue had since grown In California and
elsewhere, which never would have
grown at all If the way had not been
opened by those who went there first
to seek for gold. This did not seem to
change his mind; but when we came
away he went with us to the door.

"Why did you not protest?"
"I was too full for utterance."

be called on to testify.)
"Will you kindly atate to the Jury
what discomfort this caused you, It
any?"
'I experienced a moist sensation and
feeling of fullness that seemed to
border on the point ot explosion. This
was probably due to the fact that I
am not accustomed to taking water In
such large quantities."

that the carp Is to our native fish
as the English sparrow to our birds.
No one accuses the carp of having suf
ficient enterprise to eat other fish even
mall fry but It roots among the
spawning beds and Is believed to de
vour eggs by the million.
I have heard this complaint about
Lake Erie, at the St. Clair flats and
along the bays of Wisconsin, showing
that everywhere In the lake region the
carp Is held in the same disrepute. How
much truth there Is In the stories of
his spawn eating would be bard to
say, but it is certain mat carp are to
be found by thousands all about the
great lakes. Some of them are mon

gray hair.
