A CHINESE STRATAGEM.
Lagtnd of Haw a Projtoted Invasion
Waa Avertid.
Rnjuh Burnn, who wna ono of Uio
earlleat rulers of India, overran the
entire cast with the exception of Chi
na, killed Innumerable aoltnua with hla
own hand and married all their datigh.
tcm. It la aald thut when the Cblnouo
hennl of IiIh triumphant progrena and
lenmcd that bo bail reached their
frontier they became much alarmed,
Tho emperor called a council of hla
generals nnd mnudartna, and upon tho
advlco of n crafty old mandarin tho
following ntrntegem wna carried out:
A largo ehlp wna loaded with maty
nnlla, treca wero planted on (ho deck,
tbo vcaaol wan manned by n numerous
crow of old men nnd dispatched to tho
rajah's capital. When It arrived thu
moot wonderful part of thu tttnry In
that it did arrive-the rajah Rent an
ofllcor to nak how long It hnd taken
tho vcbhuI to mako tho trip from China.
Tho Chlunmeu uuawured Hint they had
alt been young men when they act anil
and that on tho voyage thoy had plant
ed tho socdu from which tho great
trees had grown. In corroboration of
their Htory they pointed to the rusty
nntla which, they said, hud been stout
iron barn no thick as a iiinn'n arm when
thoy atartiMl. "You can boo," thoy
concluded, "that China must bo a very
long dlstnuco nwny,"
Tho rajah was so much Impressed
by theso plnuslbfo arguments that ho
concluded ho would not live long
enough to reach China and abandoned
bis projected Invasion.

For Hough Hands.
Mutton tallow la still considered by

and plnco It In n pan with some water.
I.et It cook slowly In tho oven, adding
a pinch of alum to keep tho melted fut

Natural Red Chlt.
A liquid which will make the faco

wine vinegar, three-quarters of an
ounce of honey, strained; thrcc-clghths
of an ounce of isinglass, one-quarter
of nn ounce of ground nutmeg nnd one
eighth of n dram of shredded red san

u smooth'agato or porcelain saucepan
and slowly brought to the boiling
point. They nro kepi nt thnt. without

liquid Is left to cool nnd Is strained
through a piece of muslin. It Is then
put on tho complexion with a soft

Almond milk as n sklu food and lo
tion Is highly extolled and. while not
easy to mako, can bo accomplished

a pint of rose water la slowly worked

For Chapped Dpi,
Cracks at the comers of (he mouth,
a most painful condition, are very fre

Is done at night.
Spirits of camphor may bo highly
beuellclal both for chapping and cold

(t.'opyrlKht, H0, ly Amrrlean Prs Anno- ,
clutlon.J
I was at work nt my easel one morn,
lug when I received a visit from a I
lady who was a nerect irnnti.r in
me I arose to receive her and was !
aliout to ask her how 1 could aervo
her when she said eagerly;
"Where Is ICdward Norland"
"Ulwird norland!"
"Ves. Uo you know where I can
find him?"
"I never heard of tho gentleman." I
"You painted tho nlcturo 'Itetrlbu-
, tlon,' didn't you, on exhibition at Afar- !
, tine's?"
"I did."
' "f.'rst... .11.1 . I. .
,'iu wiiui vim juu initu my IIKO-
ncss? I never aat for you,"
"My good lady, will you explain?"
"Kxplalnl Why harrow my feelings
by forcing mo to tell tho dlatresslng
story when you rauat know it already.
ICIse bow could you buve painted that
awful scene?"
"What awful Bcene?"
"Do ceaso the pretense of Ignorance.
I suppose H was ho who told you."
My bewilderment waa Increasing
rather than subsiding, for I noticed a
J resemblance, though n very faint one, ,
between tho lady beforo mo nnd a tig- I
ure In the picture to which ah re
ferred. Iu fact, I waa dumfounded. I
did, nothing but stare at hor. Sho went i
on speaking In her quick, excited way, j
her eyes filling with tears: !
"It waa all my fault. I urged him j
to tako tho money and spoculato for .
mo. The stocks went down. Ten
dnya after the loss was repotted to me
by tho brokers he bad learned of It
nnd made it good out of his own
pocket. Indeed, he wrote rne that
there was n profit. Tho stupid brokers
called on me for margin during his ab
sence, at the height of the panic. He
hnd distinctly told them to look to
him and by no means communicate
with me. Hut why did you call your
picture 'Itetrlbutlon?' At tho moment
I reproached him ho hnd ordered a '
check sent me for $0,000. I received
It nftcr ho bad gone."
A light was beginning to break in
upon my brain. 1 bad read of cases
where persons hnd fancied themselves
the subjects of artists' work, and It
struck me that I had met with an In
stance. I was Interested in tho Indy'a
story. Might I not be of aervlco In ro- ,
storing to her n person sbo bad
wronged? The picture, too, corre
sponded with the scene to which she ,
referred. A woman was reproaching a
rann who bad wronged her, whllo bo
stood with bowed bond, receiving bis
chastisement. The woman was the
principal figure; the man was In Bbnd
ow nnd hla face not distinctly visible.
I concluded to tcmporlzo with her.
"And did he not defend himself?" 1
nsked.
"No; ho simply stood and looked nt
me In astonishment. His figure In your '
picture doesn't show his demeanor
at all."
'no left you with no explanation?"
"None whatever. Ten minutes after
his departure the postman left hla let
ter containing tils check for what 1
had given him the profit. Profit. In
deed! The rntiRnctloti cost him $7,500."
I pondered, while sho went on Inco
herently In the snmo manner ns be
fore. Plnnlly 1 eald to her. "If you
will leave me your address I will see
If 1 can do anything for you." - ,
"There! I know all tho whllo you
wero acquainted with him nnd that ho J
gave you tho information which led :
to your painting that picture. Ob. ;
please do tell him how sorry 1 am for i
what I did."
"Yes, if I find him." j
Tho lady departed somewhat com
forted, but by no means confident that i
I would succeed In gaining for her
the forgiveness of tho man sbo had
wronged.
How I found Kdward norland Is n ;
matter between mo nnd a man I paid !
for doing the work. When I met Mr.
Ilorlnnd ho supposed tho meeting was !
casual. I pursued tho acquaintance
and Inrltcd him to my studio, whero I j
had tlto picture from Mnrtino's con
pplcuously displayed on nn easel. I i
watched him ns bo looked at It, Tho
woman's faeo.cvldently Interested bin).
wnero uiu you get your niouei ior
thnt figure?" he asked.
This was n beginning. Dcforo bo
left my studio I bad told hluMho story
of my visitor and her illusion. Wheti
his wonder nt tho singular occurrence
hnd given placo to thinking on the
situation between himself and the
lady I saw his faco harden. If 1 ef
fected a reconciliation I must uso tho
utmost adroitness.
"Sho was very bitter," ho said, "when
alio supposed I bad lost her money."
"Nnturally," I reuinrkod.
"Sho gave me enrto blancho to do
ns I thought best for hor, to win or
lose ns the market roso or fell, and
when It fell sho reproached mo."
"As wns to bo expected from nuy
woman aud as would bo tho result In
tbo caso of most men. Women don't
possess tho polso to stand that sort of
thing. Granting thut you wero excus
able for accepting such u commission,
you could only oxpect that It would be
beads you win, tails you lose.'
Dcforo he left I secured his promise
to moot tho lady In question in my
studio tho next morning, I notified
her to come, and she no sooner saw
hor former lover there than I, as an
nrtlst, caught the ponltent, pleading
look on her fnco for my next picture.
I mnrked tho first "Hotrlbutlou I." aud
tho second "netrlbutlon II."
When m.v friend Mrs. norland gets
obstreperous her husbnnd tells mo that
I had bettor paint a third picture with
him In the foreground nnd call It
