My fifth was—well, I cannot say What he was like, but one fine day I swore to love him all my life: And now he calls me “Little Wife." My sixth? My sixth is very small.

The queerest things that happer never find their way into the newspa. pers. It is difficult to say why; per- haps it is because they are too queer. For instance, I doubt if you have evex heard of a certain strange incident that happened .only a season or two ago in that select section'of the fash- ionable world known as “society.” A lady of title, Lady Barmouth, re- quested me to call on her one morn- ing aboutthe beginning of June, the London season being then at its height. “I want your help, Mr. Lowe,” she be- gan, and then stopped awkwardly. “Perhaps you are not aware that at several balls and dinner parties this season there have been jewels and ornaments stolen. It has, of course, caused a great deal of unpleasantness. In several cases, trinkets have even been actually taken from the wearers without their knowing how it was done, or who did it.” “I presume, then, that the—er—thief is a guest-a person in society?” I said, inquiringly. “I am afraid so. Two 'or three things were missed at a dance which I gave' last week. Now, I am giving another dance next Thursday, and I am, of course, most anxious it should not occur again, at any rate in my house. We made arrangements about terms, and it was agreed that I should be in- troduced as an American, by name ' Captain Burke. ' “I suppose, Lady Barmouth,” I said, carelessly, “you don't suspect anybody in particular?” “Oh, no,” she said, but I noticed what I thought was a look of anxiety on her face, and made a mental note of Vii: As I was leaving, Lady Barmouth said, “Of course, Mr. Lowe, you quite understand, there must be no expose. If you make any discoveries, they must be treated as secrets. I can't have a scene of any kind. It must be hushml up.” I returned to the ofiice impressed with, two ideas. First, that my task was one of those delicate cases that re- quire all your tact and yield very little credit; secondly, that Lady Barmouth knew more, 01', at any rate, guessed . more, thanshe cared to tell. Thursday "evening arrived, and I went to Merion House. For a [long while nothing occurred of the smallest significance. But at about two o’clock in the morning, while I was sitting in a snug corner of the conservatory, where cigarette smoking was permitted, I noticed acou- ple take up a position in the opposite corner. They were both young, and evidently very much in love with one another. The girl was handsomely dressed, and were some valuable jew- els. I11 particular I noticed a pair of diamond ear-drops, which had jest come into fashion again. These two young people were sitting out during a dance, and they flirted all through a set of lancers, without any impatience at their length. ' At last they got up and went into the ball-room again. On the chair, where the girl had been sitting, lay some- thing shining. I strolled across and examined it. It was her vinaigrette, which she had probably left there by. accident. I replaced it, thinking it might serve as a trap for our fashion- able thief, if he were in the neighbor- hood, and withdrew to my corner, where I was almost invisible. Presently an Old gentleman strolled He was :1, out to smoke a cigarette. tall, handsome, intellectual-looking man, with the air of the true ariSio- cl‘at. His name I didn’t know, but I had noticed him chatting with the guests. He was evidently known to everyone, and was a man of social im-. portance. Presently his eye caught the little jewelled vinaigrette. He looked care- lessly round the conservatory, to see if he were observed, and picked it up.. He now had his back to me. I was on the point of stepping up to him, when he turned round, and replaced the vin- aigrette and walked quietly away. It was lucky I had not moved. I should have looked rather foolish. ,Some curious instinct bade me mess the conservatory, and look at the vin» 'aigratte again. Without thinking about it, I put it to my nose. The next thing I remember .is, that: I found myself sitting in a chai1.

' 'Then arose the question: ,WV :1: it should I do next? Should I go st1.11:ht to the man who had tampered w ti: -'he vinaigrette? ‘ A‘ moment s' the ' ,r'ui showed me that that would be 11' ._ wise V - than uselessf .It was drug—; For a few minutes I had lost I still felt dizzy and‘ ,planation. Barmouth was mad. There was no I had no proof of any thing. The situation must be allowec to develop itself before I interfered. After some little reflection, I decidet to go back to the drawing-room, when I could see what was going on. .Unde1 any circumstances I must not lose sight of the girl to whom the vinaigrette be longed. . For nearly half an hour I waited ir vain. She danced with two or three different men, but did not seem to have missed it. At last, after one of the dances, sha appeared to be looking for something. W'ith what was, I presume, an apology to her partner, she skipped across the room to a. group of girls. Evidently she was asking if any of them had seen her vinaigrette. For some time she got no information, but presently a girl who was passing, leaning on a man's arm, turned round and made some remark, pointing with her fan to the conservatory door. The owner 01 the vinaigrette gave a little nod oi ' thanks, and hurried across the room. All this time I observed that the man who had drugged the scent-bottle, and who was chatting with some of the people standing about, watched the girl closely. As soon as she had left the drawing- room, he broke off his conversation, and strolled quietly towards the con- servatory. As he passed through the curtains, I noticed that he glanced round to see if he were being followed. That settled it; I had found my man, and must act promptly. Lady Bar- mouth was standing near the piano. Remembering her injunction that there was not, under any circumstances, to be an expose or a scene, it was neces- sary to proceed With caution. I caught her eye without much difficulty. She understood at onve that I had some- thing to say, and disengaged herself from her friends. “Will you come with me to the con- servatory?” I said, quietly. “I be: lieve I have solved the mystery." She turned pale. “Very well " she said. “Give me your arm. Be careful what you do, Mr. Lowe,” she added in a troubled, voice; “it must be hushed up. ” then we reached The conservatory, we found, just as I expected, the young lady lying back in a chair unconscious. I-Ier ear—drops were missing. “Miss Dainton has fainted,” Lady Barmouth. “One moment,” I said; “there is no cause for alarm. Do you see what has happened? Her diamond ear-drops have disappeared.” said ‘ i‘Do you know who it is?” she whispered. “Yes. Her vinaigrette has been drugged—not sufficiently to do her any harm. I saw it done.” “What shall I do? Fetch Lord Bar- mouth, will you? He must advise me. ” ‘,‘W_hich is Lord 3111111911111?" She came to the curtains and pointed him out to me. ' “Very well,’ I said. “Chafe Miss Dainton’ 8 hands, and try to bring her round, but don' t send for any help at present.” I don t think I ever felt so reluctant to proceed with a case as I did at that minute. The man whom Lady Bar- mouth had pointed out as her husband was the man who had drugged the vinaigrette—who had followed Miss Dainton into the conservatory. In a word, Lord Barmouth was a klepto- maniac. “Will you come with me into the conservatory, Lord Barmouth?" I said. As I spoke I looked him sternly in the 'face. He turned deadly white, and'his eyes shifted nervously about the room. “What’s the matter?” he said, husk- ily. “Is anyhing wrong?” , “Miss Dainton has fainted." “O'h,” he murmured, with relief. “And her ear-drops have disap- peared,” I added. For a moment I thought he was going to drop down. I put my arm through his, and led him towards the conservatory. He was trembling like a. leaf. When we got well into the shadow of the curtains I stopped. “Lord Bar- ' mouth,” I said, quietly, “take my ad 'vice, and give them up to me at onCe.” “What do- you mean?” he said, hoarsely. . “The ear-drops. It will prevent a scene.” He put a trembling hand into the breast pocket Of his dress- coat and gave me the ear— ~drops. He did it like, a man in adream, and I really believe that for, che'time' being he ,was uncon- scious. Then he turned away and, left the'dr-awing room hurriedly.

Used in Combination. Glaming is the latest occupation of women who devote themselves to the pursuit of health and beauty, says the New York Sunday Journal. Glamer is a raw word, which represents the chief object of. these disciples of physical cul- ture. Those who seek it are said to be glaming, and are denominated glam- ers. Some of the essential rules 0f glam- lng may be briefly stated for the bone: fit of inquirers. They are: To drink milk fresh from the cow at a temperature of ninety-eight degrees. To inflate the lungs at regular inter- vals, close the eyes and let the mind dwell on one of the pleasantest pros- pects in life. To repose at regular pc— riods during the day in air which has recently been in motion and on which the sun has shone. To have the skin kneaded daily with sweet oil. Glam- ing, it is claimed, retardsindefinitely wrinkles, gray hair and all the other signs of old age; beautifies the com- plexion, gives the eye wonderful pow- ers of fascination, keeps the figure youthful and elastic, and preserves the powers of the mind The aim of the glamer’s diet is to prevent the ossification produced by the deposit of calcareous or mineral matter in the heart, brain and arteries. This deposit is the cause of old age. Physiologically one may become old at thirty as well as at sixty. To guardagainstthis ossification; it is necessary to prevent or dissolve the os- seous deposits. One or two pints of distilled water daily are of great bene< fit. The diet should include apples, pears, grapes, orange juice, cherries, plums, peaches and berries. . As animal food, fish, poultry and young mutton are recommended, be- cause they contain less earthly salts than other meats. Phosphorous is nec- essary for the nourishment of the brain, and this is to be found in lean meats, fish, cheese, whole wheat, oat- meal, almond nuts, white cornmeal, beans, peas, figs and prunes. As glame in the system becomes more abundant the pulse will become firmer, the skin take on a healthier hue, the eye grow brighter, the step more elastic and day by day life will be better worth living. _ Glame enters the body with the oxy- gen we breathe and passes out with very exhalation. The following rule of glaming is intended for the benefit of the lungs: Sit or stand perfectly still in some place where the air is in motion, or has been recently, and upon which the sun has shone. It it not' necessary to sit in the sun. most capacity and hold the breath long enough to count three or more. The time should be about three seconds. Let the breath escape very slowly. Re- peat by drawing in the breath very gradually and hold for five seconds. Alwaysinhale through the nose‘if pos sible. This is the first of four rules. The next directs the glamer to take a. gen- tle breath very calmly. When‘ ' the lungs are easily full, but notcrowded, she closes the hand so tightly that the most delicate pressure is felt. Then she is to think of the happiest prospect possible. A flutter of ectasy will be so plainly felt that its presence will teem with vitality. ' ' ,Watehes are Small.

Evening gowns of. all. kinds are in_ great demand at this time of year, and a prettydress for a young. girl, is of white figured taffeta tucked round the hips below a band of cream lace in- sertion from which the skirt is hung. the low bodice of cream lace over rose- colored silk has a tucked silk waist‘ band which crosses in treat, and he sleeves are a puff of silk with frills of silk and lace falling over them. Sleeves in evening dresses are short, yet they are much more,than mere sug-, gestions, and the long-sleeved evening gown appears very often among the latest fashions. The one illustrated Is of flounced pink silk, tucked on the hips, giving a panel effect in front. The bodice is of spotted pink chiffon, trimmed at the neck and belt with lewelled trimming, and the sleeves are 1 puff of chiffon, with a lace frill fall« lng over and a long transparent sleeve of the lace below. The persistent lit- :le figaro ShOWS itself again on the next gown of yellow moire, and it is em‘ broidered with applique lace and pearls. The bodice underneath is of yellow velvet, with a lace bertha fall- lng in front, and the sleeves are of vel- vet and lace. Black evening gowns are, perhaps, the most useful dresses of all, and black tulle with rows of tulle plaitings on the skirt makes an effective covering for the old black satin dress. Three shades of flame- :olored ribbon form the wide belt, and a loose spray of nasturiiums is ar« ranged on one shoulder. black rc~ iieved by a color is always a stiiking dress, and by changing the belt and flowers it furnishes variety. Black moires with floral waterings are very much worn by matrons. and they are made with the old~fashioned printed bodiccs, and trimmed with lace and jewelled embroidery. Velvet as a trim! ming is a decided featme of all the wool gowns and a brown velvet ove1 another of cream lace, and brown vel vet epaulettes over the sleeves.

Everybody ought to know that 'the very best thing they can do is to eat apples just before going to bed. The apple is excellent brain food because it has more phosphoric acid. in an eas- ily digestible shape. than any. other fruit known. It excites the action of the liver, promotes sound and healthy sleep, and thoroughly disinfects thtI mouth. It also agglutinates the sur- plus acids of the stomach, helps the kidney secretions and prevents calcu lus growth, -"while it obviates indiges- tion, and is one of the best prevent- ives of diseases of the throat. Next to lemon and orange, it is also the best antidote for the thirst and crav- ing of persons addicted to the alcohol and opium habit." Winter Feed for Fowls.

York, several of the vacant lot farm planters competed for cash prizes ag- gregating $100. The fact that one of the women carried off eight first prizes, three second prizes and two special prizes, amounting to $55, and that others planters took prizes amounting to $45, is a tribute to the success of the movement.‘ The ex- penses of the farms for 1896 amounted to $4,500. The receipts of the planters were $9,500. In addition the Associa- tion for Improving the Condition of the Poor, under whose management several hundred bushels of potatoes, among its beneficiaries. The exces- sive wet weather of the early season, followed, by the extreme heat, proved disadvantageous. . _ The Value of Roots as Food. The feeding value of roots is much higher than the average farmer thinks. The best American shepherds recognize that the English practice is a wise one of feeding roots as neces- sary to the best profit with steep. Qamparing roots with corn meal at average feeding value of $3. 08, man ' gel-wurzels 1.52, turnips 271, rutaba- gas 2.02, carrots 1.82, but their real value is considered greater than this by many careful feeders.

W'arren, a young musician of Philadelphia, purchased an organ grinder’s monkey some time ago be- cause he was charmed with its danc~ ing and thought it would add pleasure to the evenings at home,.when he played the violin with which instru- ment he is a fine performer. Noting the perfect time kept, and also that the monkey was apparently able to imitate everyact it saw, he concluded to try to teach it to play a violin, says the Philadelphia “Inquir. er.” For some time very slow head— Way was made, but finally Jocko seem- ed to catch the idea and would ply the ’ bow over the strings, with, however, very little regard to time or tune. Fe an hour each day his master tried to teach Jocko the elements of music, and after ,the man’s patience was almost exhausted his efforts ». were crowned with success, and the monkey began to play one tune fairly well. That tune once mastered._seemed to awaken all of the latent musical talent of the animal and he became passionately attached to the violin, becoming more proficient each time he played the instrument. Now he executes several waltzes, taking the violin in his arm in correct position and keepingtime with his feet and head'as he plays, not only furnishing the music, but waltzing at the same time. While his. master does .not ex- pect him to become a model-to play, he is nevertheless very proud of his monkey, and claims that he ‘is a bet ter player than the average man who considers himself fairly proficient. Mr. Warren has almost closed a deal by which he is to dispose of the mon- key violinist to the proprietor of a 'Bos-l ton museum. Theprice-to, be paid is said to, be over. $500. ‘Echo Answers.
