Polly Took Care of Herself.

A veteran showman had a parrot
which always sat beside him in his of-
fice and thus learned his lingo, which
was to this effect: “Sta‘nd back, now—
plenty of time! Take your turn. Don’t
crowd.” The parrot one day happened
to fly away and got lost. The owner
was much troubled about it, but a lit
tle while afterward the attention of
one of the show people was attracted
by a flock of crows on a hill at the
back of the town. Approaching the
spot, the man discovered the parrot
sitting on a log with his feathers up,
tryim to defend himself against a
scme of c1011s. And not only was he
thus round, but there he sat, screaming
at the top of his voice: “Stand back,
nOWPDIenty of time! Take your turn
Don’ t c10wd ”

Good Suggestions.

A steeping position, maintained f01
any length of time, tends more to un-
dermine the health than is generally
supposed.

Equal parts of honey, olive oil and
pure home—made wine, made from
grape juice or currants, is both sooth
ing and strengthening for a bad‘cough

Physicians are advocating the use oi
olive oil which comes from California,
for weak lungs. It bids fair to take
the place of cod liver oil, and it is
thought by many pleasanter to take.

The toothache caused by a cold in
the facial nerves may often be-re-
lieved by wringing a soft cloth out oi
cold water, and sprinkling it with
strong vinegar. This should be laid or
the face like a poultice, and will often
be followed by refreshing sleep. '

A few years ago, in the interior of
Schoharie County, one of the land-
lords concluded to have a dance.
Guests were plenty, but it was diffi-
cult to find music. Finally a fiddler
was procured, who said he had
“played for dances all winter.” Af1
ter dancing nearly an hour one of the
guests called out, “Cherrytree, why
don‘t you turn your tune?” Cherry-
tree replied, “I haven’t learned the
other half of it yet.”——From Judge.

 

Testing Diamonds by the X—Rays.
~ It seems that by their aid one can
readily determine whether diamonds
are real or false, for the rays pass
quite through real diamonds, leaving
them . transparent, and not at all
through false ones. A real parure,
when photographed, would show only
the mounting, but in a false one all
the stones would turn out black.

Business and Honor.

Said Judge Peterby to Rev. Whang-
doodle Baxter:

“Just think of the deception prac-
ticed every day. Why, it is dreadful.
Now, if you could make $150 by a lie,
your sense of honor wouldn’t allow you
to do it, would it, Mr. Baxter?”

“Dunno ’bout‘ dat ar,” replied
Whangdoodle. “Seems ter me dat am
a mattah 01f bisness, wharin honah
hain't got nuflin ter say. Say, jedge,

THE EDITOR’S WIFE.

Great was the consternation when
the rumor was circulated through the
otiicc that Harding was to be married
—"actually married to a woman,” as
Edkins remarked, in a voice of mingled
pity and contempt, as he imparted the
news to Judkins, the nighteditor.

Every one was disgusted, for wasn’t
Harding the exclusive property of the
Advocate’ s men?

And to sha1e him with any woman
1111s he) ond all question.

111111 all up, ” dolefully remarked
Judkins, as he buried his hands deep

in his pockets, and blessed his stars for.

his own unattached condition.

“Just imagine Harding’s rooms with
a woman in ’em,” in a voice of utter
contempt. “No more midnight gather—
ings there, my boy; no \V-elsh rarebit,
no cards, with a seasoning of smoke—
oh, hang it, no nothing. Tidies, and
1ibbon, and bric- a- -brac, and goodness
knows what, wheievei you step. Just
a little call, and ‘Good evening, Mrs.
Harding; no, can‘t stop, have an as-
signment,’ and off, leaving Harding
trying to look happy, with a silk scarf
twisted round his neck, and his feet
plumb up against some other work of
art. Hang it, what is the man think-
ing of?” and Judkins started up as if
he would go to the protection of his
misguided fellow editor.

But that same misguided young man
seemed in no apparent need of protec-
tion, for he laughed and joked with
the boys in his old-time manner, and
when Judkins‘s dismal prognostica-
tions were related \to him his amuse-
ment knew no bounds. Then ard there
he invited them to just come up and
see, when he was married. for “I’ll
warrant you,” he said,“‘that‘ Mrs. II.
will prove a strong rival to my box of
Arcadian mixture, to which Edkins is
so attached, and every blessed one of
you will wish you were in my shoes
before the first evening is over, for”—
and here Harding, for the first time in
the history of the office. descended to

the trite and ‘commonplace—“she isn’t'

like other girls, you kno11'—she——”

But here an explosion of pent-up
wrath burst from the group, and
Harding was suddenly ejected from
the office, and as he stared blankly at
the closed doors, behind which. came
most undignified sounds, he was heard
to murmur: ‘

“I wonder what I saic ,” which goes
to prove that even a callous editor is
sometimes human.

=11 :1: :1: :1: t

But this was all a‘year ago. Now
Harding was safely married. The boys
were sure of that. As a proof of their
devotion they had suffered themselves
to appear in evening dress at the wed-
ding; had been properly present-ed to
the bride as “the boys, you know,” and
after paying due attention to the pretty
bridesmaids, they had retired to‘ the
office, and there held secret conclave
over glasses and pipes, and there early

morning had found them, still wonder-

ing how any sane man could be so in-
sane as Harding had been.
11: 1: >2: .1: =1:

Now things were difierent. “She
isn’t like other women,” Judkins had
1eluctantly admitted after their first
call.

“She Ically isn‘,t you know; and I
guess, aftei all, it won’t be so bad.
She’s almost one of us, you know, only
somehow better and sweeter, and all
that, and I shouldn’t wonder if' we’d
better ease up a little on Harding.”

And so, to quote Judkins, she was
“almost one of them.”

Harding’s'rooms had never seemed
so hospitable as now, his big chairs
never so tempting, and nights when
the boys couldn’t drop in for a mo-
ment’s chat, at least, were off nights
with them.

“I tell you it braces a follow up,” Ed-
kins explained, in apology, the second
time Judkins found him there.

“She’s so awfully interested in all
that we do, you know, and gives a fel-
low lots of tips. - She ought to be on
the paper herself, and I told her so,
but, bless you, she blushed, and asked
if I didn’t think that she was better
adapted to making chocolate, and
handed me a cup, just as I like it; and
as no one'else on earth can make it but
she.” ' _

“That finished you, old boy, of
course,” and Judkins laughed.

But, honestly, you’re right. Hard-
ing has improved wonderfully, and
your pct'column has. gone up 50 per
cent.. and the society stuff isn’t half
as tame.

“We're almost up to the Vindicator
now, and if it wasn’t for the confound-
ed scoops they get on us we’d lead the

town; but I say, Ed”— and here Jud-
kins paused 11nd glanced down the

street, as it“ he feared the approach of
some one—“it seems kind of ~mean to
say it. but didryou ever think that
Harding isn‘t just square with his
wife. but makes deals with that we-

“Oh! yes, I’ve got facts,’
started to interrupt him.

“Mat upset the waste basket on my
desk one morning, and didn’t pick all
the scraps up, and there on my desk
was a letter signed ‘Daisy.’ Thought
I’d have a chance to guy some of you
fello11s,so I read it.

“’Twas fiom the edito1ial rooms oi
‘the VindicatOI, and 1111s addIessed to
Harding, and said, ‘Meet me at 1 in
the park. I must see you. Daisy.’

, “You could have knocked me flat.
but I followed it up by sending a boy
to follow Harding. I knew enough not
to follow him myself. and he came
back with a full account of Harding
meeting a veiled lady in the park, and
they stood for a long time in a seclud—
ed spot talking very eagerly, and
Harding held her hand, and, as the
boy expressed it, looked ‘sweet’ at her.

“Then I put that with the fact that
Harding was the only one who could
get an interview with the Vindicator
011 that. Maybee affair, and every one
knows that the power behind the
throne there is a woman._ And it
strikes me that we haVe a pretty plain
case. Harding is struck on the girl,
and she is playing with him for the
benefit of the Vindicator.

“See, my boy?”

Edkins drew a deep breath.

“Yes, I see what you say, and‘it‘ it‘s
true,aby jizngo, Judkins, we‘ll thrash
Harding, that is all.

“I’m off,” and Edkins departed with
an abruptness that was unusual, even
to that eccentric individual.

The story grew, as it was whispered
from man to man, and there was an
uneasiness in the little circle that was
wont to gather at the Hardings’. for
all save Harding and his wife were
acutely conscious of what the others
were thinking. They alone were bright
and cheery.

But the plot deepened as young Fos-
ter, who had been. simply tolerated as
a. clever young fellow by the older
men, became a frequent caller at the
I-Iardings.

“The boy is in love,” was the verdict
of the older men, “and now we're in a
mess, and how are we going to get out
of it?"

Affairs were in this condition when
one night Judkins and Edkins reached
the Hardings’ earlier than usual to
find Harding very ill at ease, and his
wife’s face flushed and her eyes bright.

There was an awkwardness for a
few moments, which even Mrs. Hard-
i11g,’with her quickly recovered com-
posure, was unable to dispel.

Suddenly, without the least core--
mony, the door opened and young Fos-
ter walked in. .

He hardly noticed the men, but
walked straight to where Mrs. Hard-
ing satin her 101v chair by the tea-
tahle, and, kneeling down beside her,
he caught her hand in his and raised
it to his lips.

The faces of the men wore a puzzled
expression, and Judkins burst out,
“It‘s time this thing was cleared up!
For heaven’s sake, Harding, what is it
all about?”

“This is what it’s all about,” young
Foster’s manly voice rang out, with-
out giving his superior editor a chance
to speak.

“It means that you are an old duffer,
Judkins, with your clues and your sto-
ries, and all that. Harding here is the
only sane man on the paper.

’ as Edi-211;?

“The nice little story you trumped up-

is all bosh, for here is your Vindicator
girl whom Harding is struck on,” and
he smiled down into the face of Editor
Harding’s wife.

“Yes, you fellows,” he , centinued,
“this is your ‘girl’ who managed all
the scoops, and ‘played with Harding'
for the information she got.

“She’s the smartest newspaper wo—

man in this country, and the best
woman in the.world.

“Do you know what she has done?

“No, of course you don’t; you’ve
been to busy ferretin-g out your mys-
tery.

“Well, every blessed one of those
scoops you thought stolen she worked
out for herself, and had it all in copy
before you ever dawdled here and gos-
sipcd about it.

"And when she might have had the

.biggcst scoop of all, and been known

it touched the honor of one of our men.
As she told the managing editor, when
she absolutely refused to give the

“ ‘I have been an editor, but, thank
God, before I was that, and, despite of
it. I have been a woman also, and I am

There was a silence for a moment.

Then it was broken by the sweet
voice of Editor Harding’s Wife.

NEW YORK LETTER.

 

It is along time since the famous.

lice crhe —Tilton scandal case was tiled
in Biooklyn, and 1e1y many of the
people who were conspicuous in it
have passed away. Mr. Beecher was
the first to die, and then Judge Neil-
son. who tried the case, followed him

'Henl'y C. Bowen’s was the last death

recorded of the men prominently iden-
tified. with it, and now Mrs. Henry
Ward Beecher is dead. Moses S.
Beach, who gave thousands of dollars
to defend Mr. Beecher, and Augustus
Sto1-rs,‘w’ho was for thirty years the
treasurer of Plymouth Church, died 11
few years ago, and half a dozen other
self-sacrificing friends of the Ply-
mouth pastor have died since Mr,
Beecher's death. among them John '1‘
Howard. Both Mr. and Mrs. John
Hutchinson. whose names will be
linked always with Plymouth Church,
are no more. Of Mr. Beecher’s three
sons. only one has continued to live in
Brooklyn. Mrs. Beecher seemed un-
1appy anywhere else, and she was. 111-
tensely interested in the church and
all that related to it, attending its so-
cial meetings regularly, and being all
ways anxiously desirous to be included
in all its undertakings. And, be it said
to Dr. Abbott‘s praise, she was, to the
last day of her presence there, con
stantly gratified by the deference and
attention paid her by the pastor first
and then by all associated with. him in
the management of affairs. At first
her place was a rather uncomfortable
one, for she was jealous of all her
1ights and pri1ile1res as the wife of the
former- pastor, but D1. Abbott’s afia
bility and sincerely earnest eff01t to
make her happy resulted successfully,
and to the end of her days she was the
recipient of attentions from the con-
gregation.

Theod01e Tilton survives nea1ly all
those against whom he set himself in
the daik days of the scandal, but his
wife and daughter will outlive him, in
all probability, as'he is more advanced
in years than Mrs. Tilt-on and is no
longer the robust man he was. He is
living alone in Paris, doing what news-
paper and other writing he can get to
do, and seeing but few of the many
Americans who are always at the
French capital. A few of his former
friends—one in particular—visit him
yearly, but he is no longer of import-
ance to those of his own generation.
and the younger generation has no
memory of him. His reputation alone
survives. Dr. Charles Hall, who
preached Mr. Beecher’s funeral ser-
mon. has joined the great majority,
and his brother, Edward, and his sis-
ter, Mrs. Stowe, are gone. The Rev.
Mr. I-Ialliday identified with Mr.
Beecher for a quarter of a century,
still survives, but is old and feeble.
Horace B. Claflin died several years
ago. Stephen V. White, who, like Mr.
Clafiin, gave with lavish hand to Ply-
mouth Church and shared his wealth
with Mr. Beecher, is, as he has been
for thirty-odd years, a d’cacon.

A little while before her death, I
had a talk with Mrs. Beecher about
her early days in the West, where she
and her young husband. were toiling
along on the meagre salary of a
preacher

“About fifty years ago,” she said,
“w 1. lived in Indianapolis. Those were
happy days. We went there from
Lawrenceburg to escape the chills, but
we had chills, for malaria met us there
when we arrived, shook us while we
remained and went with us when we
left. Our house contained only a par-
lor and a dining room, which was also
used for a kitchen. A veranda ran
along the. front and this my dear hus-
band boarded np and divided into two
little bedrooms—each room held a bed-
stead—that’s all. Not a. foot of Space
for washstand or chair, and to make
the bedsI reached through the win-
dows which opened into the house
pr-‘.ope1

“At that time my husband received

$400 1101 year salary, which was an in- _.

crease of $100 on the salary he re-
ceived while at Lawrenceburg. This
we considered a great increase. I re-
member how his desk was so placed in
our parlor so that he could and did
watch me while I worked in the com-
bined dining room and kitchen, and
how he would read aloud to me every
time he finished writing a page or two
of the sermons he prepared. I would
often drop my work and sit down bc~
side him while he read his sermons.
Then we would talk over his writings.
and new thoughts would come.

“I kept boarders, took in sewing, did
my own _ housework, usually with a
baby in my arms (ten children were
born to Mr. 'and Mrs. Beecher), yet 1
would willingly go through those days
again if I could. I had my husband
always with me. We worked together.
He painted the house by the light of a
lantern, which I held. Then the world
had not claimed a share of my hus-

band, and I was very happy. 01' course

I was glad of the work my husband
was engaged in, but I cared nothing
for the honor the weild gave him. I
loved my husband and always wanted
him near me.

“I left Indianapolis to com-o. to
Brooklyn with my husbandx 1 "tray;
eled East just six. weeks before the
first railroad was finished. and my hus-
band vazne East on the fiiSt train that
left Ind; anapolis bound East. "

A11 in1entive genius has devised a
scheme by which to make a hen '
stamp the date on every egg she lays.
An ancient egg is easily detected any- '
way, hence the invention will not be
very useful. Now will somebody
kindly invent a machine to stamp the
age of spring chickens? 1.

, Church cars are a recent ‘1 issian
improvement. They are intended for
[the Siberian Railroad. The cars look
like ordinary firsthlass carriages, but
the windows are shaped like those of
Byzantine churches. ' One—third of the.
'space, shut off by the holy gates. is
devoted to the priests, and the rest is
for the congregation. ,

i The German carp introduced in
American waters 1a few years ago
prove destructive to other fish, and
fortunately they seem to be on the de-
crease. The Legislature of New Jer-
sey inposes a heavy fine on any per-

waters of the state, and the fish com-
missioners of New York have come to
a like decision.

 

Q...—

i, In two states of the country, and in
‘only wo, California and Kentucky
the electoral Vote was divided be-
tween the two candidates. Mr. Mc-
Kinley received eight of the votes of
California and Mr. Bryan one, and
,Mr. McKinley received twelve of the
[votes of Kentucky and Mr. Bryan
one. These were also the two states,
and the only two, in which the vote
for Palmer and Buckner was large
enough to exceed the McKinley plu-
rality. In California McKinley’s p111-
rality was 1,822; Palmer’s vote was
2,006. In Kentucky the McKinley
plurality was 281; the Palmer vote
was 5,114. \ 1 4. ,_1 1 ‘

V: The attention of financiers all over
the world has been drawn ‘to the
financial budget of the Russian Min-
istei of Finance. His “prosperity
budget” shows an increase of revenue
of nearly 79 million rubles over last
year’s, and an increase of ordinary
expenditure of only 53,750,000 rubles.
Of the immense expenditure of 129
million rubles, 64 million were ex‘
pended in building the Siberian rail-
road and its branches. It is eSpccixi-
ly interesting to note that this hand-
some increase of revenue came chief-
ly from railroad systems. In devot-
ing the surplus to further extensions
of those systems, therefore, she is in-
yesting her capital in the very enter-
prises from which it has been de-
rived. I

To make orange marmalade, cut‘the
oranges and remove all the pulp and
juice to a bowl. Boil the rinds 'in
salted water until tender, changing
the water two or three times; then

tough thre-ds. .Put into a saucepan
with twice its weight of sugar, and
boil slowlv for half an hour. Cove:
tightly. '
