Mils Ona Ireland, a young lady liv-
Gg near Skillman, Ky., has a bird, the
•tory of which would grace the col
amns of our natural history. Miss Ona
naa a very large and beautiful flock of
turkeys, a part of which were hatched
; n the early summer months and
strayed away from the house for quite
« distance. In their rambles a young
partridge, presumably an orphan, fell
into the ranks of the little turkeys, and
Hading the company congenial, forsook
the field, stayed in the barnyard and
orchard, and never for a moment left
the turkeys, eating and roosting on the
limb of a tree with them. Now the
turkeys are grown, as also is the par- i
tridge, and it is no unusual sight to
see the partridge creeping beneath the :
lock of turkeys

An Indiana clergyman says that dur
ing his student days he gave according
to the "catch-as-catch-can" style. Since I
called to a settled charge, he gave at j
first five per cent, of his gross Income, 1
then raised it to seven per cent., and i
now enjoys the blessing of paying ten.
"I have observed," says he, "a curious
effect. When I did not tithe, I was al
ways hard up; and now, when I don't
tithe at the time of receiving money,
it seems to take wings. When I do
tithe, it last longer.

of Cod-Liver Oil with Hypophos

exactly what they want. They
will thrive, grow strong and be
well all winter on this splendid food
tonic. Nearly all of them become
very fond of it. For adults who
fare not very strong, a
course of treatment with
the Emulsion for a couple

put them through the

about this.

WILLIAM'S ROCKY ROOM.
The Wall* aud roiling "ft lie )'old»iii I'ulaoe
Lined With Mlneralogical Specimen*.
The walls nnd ceiling of the vesti
bule of Emperor William's palace at j
Potsdam have been lined with shells, j
pieces of quartz, agates, crystal and
other mleraloglcal specimens. It is an
enormous apartment, sixty-eight feet I
square, and broken by six huge pillars, j
The floor is of tessellated marble and |
mosaic. The windows are of stained j
glass, but every other inch of surface
on the walls and ceiling is covered !
with geological and mineralogical
specimens, which have been collected
from all corners of the globe by the
imperial mineralogists and arranged
under the direction of a famous artist.
The effect is unique but ugly.
Few museums contain n greater vari
ety of rare specimens than are found |
in this room. The members of the dip- J
lomatic and consular service, the na
val officers, the scientists and the ,
travelers of Germany, who are familiar
with this fad of the Emperor's, have 1
sought his favor by bringing beautiful !
examples of shells, minerals and rare :
stones from the Arctic and Antarctic
regions, from the islands of the Indian
Ocean and the shores of Siberia, from
Patagonia. Lapland, from Burmah and
the Transvaal, from the Andes, the
Urals, the Himalayas and the Moun
tains of the Moon. There Is a consid
erable collection from the Rocky
Mountains in one corner, which was
presented to the German Government i
some years ago by the geological sur- 1
vey or the United States Moat of It ;
is from Colorado.

Miss Braddon is well known as a
careless dresser. She garbs herself as
she wishes, without considering pub
lic opinion. Her gowns are. therefore,
often old-fashioned in style, and leave
much to bo desired in beauty of color.
Miss Braddon still wears the long drop
earrings in vogue five - and - twenty
years ago. Miss de la Ramee, known
to fame as "Ouida," is also eccentric
in dress. She favors light colors,
quite out of harmony with her age
aud appearance generally. Her face
is not innocent of powder, and her
hair is arranged in a curly mass with
roibbon on it. Miss Marie Corelli af
fects a simple, girlist style, and gen
erally wears pretty frocks of white,
pale blue or pink.—Woman's Life.

"I will now proceed to give them i
fits," said the beautiful maiden.
Then she took up her scissors and (
began to cut out red flannel drawers
for the far-away heathen.
Oif*ngc « Boot Dressing.
Orange juice Is one of the best dress- ;
ings for black shoes or boots. Take a
slice or quarter of an orange and rub
it on the shoe or boot, then, when dry,
brush with a soft brush until the shoe '
shines like a looking glass. This is an !
English recipe. Another fruit dress- \
ing for tan shoes is the inside of a ba
nana skin. Rub the skin all over the
shoe thoroughly, wipe off carefully
with a cloth briskly.
I'atent-LeatUrr Slioe*.
Patent-leather shoes should not be
polished with blacking. These are the
hardest kind of shoes to keep looking
well, and require constant care. They
may be cleaned with a damp sponge
and immediately dried with a soft
cloth, with occasionally a little vas
eline or sweet oil. They must never
be donned in cold weather without
heating or they will crack as soon as
exposed to ths cold air.
