"You arc a worthies® nigger, George."
"Yes, little mistiss."
"And your master and I will have to
go to the almshouse."
"Yes. little mlstlss; spec yo' will."
"Then what will become of you,
George ?"
"Go dar too."
"I>o you think they would take In o
nigger? You are more likely to get on
the chain gang."
"Te, he, he, little mlstlss!"
"What are you giggling about?"
"Dey ain't no chain gang. We goes
on de fahm."
"You have been there?"
"Yes; I got sent dar 'bout a yeah
ago."
"George, have you been a criminal?"
His mistress looked at him with shrink
ing disgust.
"Spec I has," he returned glibly. "I J
been mos' eberyt'lng—crap shooter, j
buck dancer an' de res', an' crlmuel," j
he added, with a touch of pride.
Mrs. Custls was paying no heed to
the negro now. She looked dreamily
out through the window at the mellow
sunlight of spring. A longing came
over her for her old home. She hnd en
dured the long and cruel winter with
a stoical patience, but the reluctant
spring made the sap of yearning rise in
her veins. Suddenly she buried her
face in her handkerchief, and like a
faithful dog George began to whine:
"Dar, little mlstlss; Jes' yo' wait till
de udder side de cloud tlummux over,
an' yo'll see 'nough silver to mek a
braid pan."
"Oh, grt away, you worthless nigger!"
Mrs. Custis exclaimed, putting down
her handkerchief, and he jumped ex
travagantly Just for the delight of hear
ing her sweet old laugh, like the ring
ing of pure thin silver.
"But, George," Mrs. Custls resumed,
with renewed dignity, "it is true that
your master and I are seriously think
ing of seeking public assistance." Her
delicate cheek flushed at the admission;
but, seeing his look of childish horror,
she proceeded firmly:
"As simple as our living expenses are,
we cannot longer meet them, and we
must ask for help."
She threw up her little figure and
proudly left the room, but she stumbled
on the threshold, and the negro, with
intuitive devotion, knew that her eyes
were blinded with tears.
He stared with a dropped Jaw at the
open door through which she had gone.
Then, with a volatile grin, he Jumped
to his feet and, performing a skillful
clog dance, seized his disreputable hat
and bolted from the house.
About a year before this Mr. Custls
and his wife had drifted to the great
city of New York. They came from
Georgia, leaving their home desolate in
order to be? near their daughter, who
had married a clever young artist. It
did not take the parents long to discov
er that their son-in-law had difficulty in
supporting his little family, so they,
protesting grandly that they had an
ample income, moved to a cheap little
fiat on the east side and in the fright
ful closeness of a few narrow rooms
began an existence that was slow tor
ture to their pride.
One day George Harries, one of the
most unregencrato negroes in all New
York, sidled up on their front steps and
pulled the bell. A negro is not natu
rally a tramp, but he was idle and
thought lie could bully something from
those forlorn old people.
Mrs. Custis opened the door and look
ed her wrath at his presumption.
"Does yo' hah any wuk fo' a po' cul
lud man?" he drawled Insolently.
"No; I don't want any niggers to
work for me!" she blazed out. "Get off
my front steps!" She was preparing
to slam the front door when he Jerked
off his filthy hat and burst out:
" 'Fo' de Lawd, I didn't know yo'
wuz a south'n lady; 'deed I didn't, lit
tle mistiss. Kin yo' give a po' nlggnh
a bite o' somethin' to eat, an' I'll wuk
my fingalis to de bone; 'deed I will."
And that was the beginning of a
strange household George Harries,
crap shooter, low comedian and natu
ral singer and dancer, and these poor,
line old southern people. And he was
us faithful ns though he was their
slave—they as autocratic as though he
was theirs by right of purchase.
So on this sunny afternoon in spring
he shuffled along the street, dipping in
to old haunts that had not knowu him
for a year. When he reached one of
his former stands, he looked shrewdly
about for a policeman and, not seeing
one, began with great vigor and skill
what Is known to the initiated as a
"buck dance." By the time he had
danced for five minutes the crowd was
so dense about the performer that it
took a tall man to peep over the heads.
George paused in his dancing, took
off his hat and, singing in a musical
voice, "coon, coon, coon," went around
collecting. This was all very well, but
a policeman sauntered up. Finding the
attraction was a live negro and not a
dead horse, he virtuously redistributed
the coins to the amused crowd, and
George took a free ride to the police
station.
By the time he was hustled before
the desk his most reckless look had
settled over his hardened face. The
magistrate, who was looking bored,
roused slightly when the officer ex
plained that the negro was indulging
in a disorderly dance.
"Why were you dancing?" he asked,
with a yawn.
" 'Cause I wuz," was the sulky re
tort.
. "George," said the magistrate severe
ly, "I hnd hoped you had stopped your
evil living. It has been nearly a year
since you were arrested."
A subtle change passed over the home
ly features.
" 'Deed, boss," he stuttered, "I been
livin' all right an' wusn't doiu' nothlu'
today 'cept a little dancin'. I ain't
shot no craps in a yeah mos'—no, sail.
'Deed, Jedge," the fellow suddenly
blubbered, "I don't know what my po'
ole marster an' mistiss is gwine to do
if you sen' me down. It wusn't fo' me
I wuz dancin'; it wuz fo' dem—fo'
Gawd it wuz. Dey's quality folks, an'
dey'd sta've befo' dey'd balg."
"That's a likely story," began the
policemuu contemptuously.
The magistrate motioned him to be
quiet as he said more kindly:
"George, suppose you show me what
sort of dance this was."
The negro's face broke into sudden
smiles. Like so many of his race, he
had a childish smile and beautiful
teeth. He stepped forth willingly, and
it was a pleasure to watch the postur
ing and gestures so absolutely African
and yet dramatic.
The magistrate watched him intent
ly. When he had finished and leaned
panting against the desk, his honor
shot a sarcastic look at the policeman
and rapped out, "Case dismissed."
George lost no time in putting the
police station behind him. He was
hustling along toward home when a
sharp faced, theatrical looking man
overtook him and briefly explained
that he had seen him dance and want
ed to enguge him for his company of
minstrels.
George had been in New York too
long to muke an easy bargain, and at
last the theatrical manager reluctantly
came to his terms. George even got
an advance on the strict promise that
he would report that night for orders.
Then he flew over the ground to the
Custis flat.
He fell up the steps and burst into
the kitchen, where Mrs. Custls was
cooking a meager supper.
"Law, little mistiss," he ejaculated,
not forgetting to pull off his hat,
" 'deed de Lawd has flummuxed dat
brack cloud over, an' dur's some o' de
silver linin* right dar." And he tri
umphantly gave her $5.
Then he told how he got the money.
The poor old lady's tears were stream
ing and he himself was sobbing like a
child.
"George," she said brokenly, "the
ways of Providence are past finding
out."
And he answered humbly:
"Dat's so, little mistiss; dat's so."
Central')* Vindication.
They had quarreled overnight, but
she had no sooner reached the studio
where she was preparing to threaten
the laurels of the old masters than she
was called to the reconciliatory tele
phone. The conversation began guard
edly with the customary: "Is this Miss
E.? Oh, good morning. This is Mr.
F." But in a few seconds these per
functory words gave place to others.
"Helen," he declared, "I was u beast."
And she replied contritely: "You must
not call yourself names. I was horrid.
I was a perfect little cat, Dick, and"—
But Mr. F. could not stand her self
reproachlngs. He told her that he could
not and that he would not bear to hear
her slander the dearest, most generous,
most noble woman in the world.
"Hush, hush—sh, Dick," she entreat
ed. "We're forgetting that a telephone
is not so awfully secret. Suppose Cen
tral should hear?"
Whereupon a strident voice took up
the tale. "Central!" it sneered. "Cen
tral listening! I like that! Central's
got something else to do but listen to
the lovemaklng of u pair of idiots. I
can tell you that I've got other fish to
fry besides paying attention to the like
of that truck!"— New York Herald.
Who Invented the Steam Bnfflner
The Marquis of Worcester, while im
prisoned in the Tower of London in
1G56, invented and constructed a per
fect steam engine and hud it publicly
exhibited the same year ut Vauxhall
in successful operation. Thirty-four
years later, in IGPO, Dennis Papin add
ed the piston to the marquis' discovery.
In 10D8 Captain Savary devised and
built a steam engine different in many
detuils from those made by Worcester
and Papin, and in 1705 Newcomb, Caw
ley and Savary constructed their cele
brated atmospheric engine, which was
complete in every detull.
The above array of historical facts
notwithstanding, James Watt, who
was not born until sixty years after
these great men had given the steam
engine to the world, enjoys the distinc
tion of being the veritable Inventor,
originator and author of the most use
ful contrivance of the present day.
Fulton, who lived and worked in the
early part of the century, is given the
credit of being the man who demon
strated that steam could be applied to
navigation; this, too, in face of the
well known historical fact that De
Gary propelled a vessel by steam in
the harbor of Barcelona in 1543.
Grentneaa Not Free From Shame.
The transcendent power and fame
with which great genius has at dif
ferent periods endowed various men
do not always insure them from after
misery and shame.
This was strikingly exemplified in
the cases of the four greatest of mili
tary conquerors—Alexander, Hannibal,
C'ttsar and Napoleon. The general
Judgment of mankind has conceded
them the first place in the lines of
action for which they were severally
distinguished. Y'et they all met with
melancholy and tragic deaths.
Two of them suffered for years the
keenest humiliations which a total de
struction of their hopes could bring.
Two perished at the zenith of their
power, just as they might have expect
ed a long enjoyment of the fruit®'..of
their tremendous achievements.
FOR THE HOUSEWIFE
The Shi nl it if Bathroom.
Shining is the word one can most ap
propriately use to describe the bath
room which is strictly up to date in all
its appointments. Besides the marble
and porcelain that are inevitable in all
the best bathrooms, a host of small ap
purtenances In nickel are made as ac
cessories to the well built room.
Nickel is the metal par excellence in
which to tit out this particular room in
the house beautiful.
Many bathrooms have a mirror and
sometimes more than one In the orig
inal architecture of the room. If the
room, however, lias not had one built
in, a mirror framed with nickel is quite
the thing to purchase for it. In shapes
the mirrors come square, oblong—both
horizontal and vertical—and diumond
shaped.
Towel racks of many lengths in the
nickel are shown in the stores for the
bathroom. Home of them are quite
short, and others run the length of the
room. These are particularly useful on
the wall back of the tub. Several rows
of them here would not be amiss.
These towel bars come also in brass
and in glass, but the preference seems
to be given to the nickel ware for these
particular furnishings.
Among smaller things in this ornate
metal are soup dishes, soap shells, soap
racks and soup cups, any and every
kind of a thing to hold soap in. Some
are stationary and others are fastened
on the edge of the bathtub, so thut they
may be moved along, as desired.
Sponge racks, both large and smull,
are also in the nickel ware. Some of
these racks have a small soap cup on
either side.
Nickel sets of hooks for all sorts of
handy purposes and nickel towel rings
are among the dainty bathroom ap
pointments in this line.
Toothbrush holders in nickel come
close and perforated. Some of these
have china tops set in a metal holder.
An Kff.rllTe Lamp Shade.
One of the showiest of the new lump
or candelabra Hhniles (as It may he had
In several HIZOH to fit either) Is shown
here. It Is composed of cut gluss
heads In a latticework cfTect, finished
THE GLASS HEAD SHADE.
with a pretty little scalloped edge at
the top and the pendent fringe so fush
lonable Just now ut the bottom. These
come In several colors to match differ
ent color schemes, and their scintilla
tions are extremely showy und decora
tive, besides being very novel.
Drlnklna Water.
Ice water ought never to be taken
with one's meuls and as little us possi
ble between meals. One never knows
what Is being taken Into the stomach
In water filled with chipped Ice. It Is
safer to fill bottles with water and al
low them to stand beside lee to chill
until required.
Tests have been made which show
that one gill of Ice water, which meuns
an average tumblerful, poured hastily
down the throat reduces the tempera
ture of the stomach from 100 degrees to
70 degrees, and It takes more than half
an hour to recover the beat It lias lost.
Cold water slowly Blpped will not be
followed by such a result, cooling the
system pleasantly In hot weather with
out chilling the glands of the stomuch
so that digestion cunnot tuke place.—

ItoarhoDnd Candy.
Put a tcuspoonful of dried hoarhound
leaves In a cup and pour over them half
a cupful of boiling wuter; cover and let
It steep until cold; strain and pour It
over a pound of granulated sugar and
a tablespoonful of vinegar; boll with
out stirring, and If any scum rises to
the top remove It. Test the eaudy In
cold water; when brittle, remove from
the fire and i>our Into a buttered pun.
Mark Into squares before it Is cold or
break Into Irregular pieces.
To Keep Off Ants and Roaches.
It Is sometimes difficult to keep rai
sins, figs und dates away from the In
quisitive little ants and roaches, but
this Is easily accomplished by putting
them in paper bags that have been well
brushed over with strong borax water
and dried before the fruit Is put In. The
little pesls do not like the borax and
will not gnaw through the sack when
thus prepared.
Shiny I*aatry.
That bright yellow, shiny surface
that gives such a rich look to the pastry
of delicatessen shops Is obtained by
brushing It over with the yolk of an
egg beaten with two tnblcspoonfuls of
milk about ten minutes before it is tak
en out of the oven. This glazing proc
ess Is a great Improvement to the ap
pearance of a chicken pie.
For Pipes and Taps.
Glycerin is very slow to freeze, and
If a little Is put on taps in frosty weath
er and exposed pipes are covered with
pieces of old carpet or sacking the wa
ter Is not likely to'freeze.
PALACES OF EDWARD VII.
Some Facta About Hl Former aad
Present Homes In London.
To the many changes lately made at
Buckingham palace one other might
well, one thinks, be added. And that is a
change of name. True, the site was
once occupied by the house a duke of
Buckingham built thereon in 1703, but
that occupation does not seem to Im
pose tile name of a subject upon a resi
dence bought by George 111., rebuilt
by George IV. and, though disliked by
William IV., at once adopted by Queen
Victoria as her London residence, and
now the fixed headquarters of the
king and the prospective headquarters
of our kings to be. No wonder that
foreign visitors are puzzled by the un
explained retention of a former and
long irrelevant appellation. They nßk
for the Palais Koyal and are met with
a blank stare, a shake of the head or
a statement which leaves a proportion
of them under the supposition that his
majesty Is the guest of the Duke of
Buckingham.
Scarcely less appropriate would be
a cancelling at last of the name of
Marlborough House as applied to the
new hereditary residence of the heirs
uppnrent. Marlborough Is a great
name, It is true, but It Is a name that
the present owner has a very natural
right to put up on the lintels of the
new house he Is building In Cuzon
street. No disrespect, then, Is Implied
toward the great Duke of Marlborough,
who built it In the first decade of the
eighteenth century and gave "Sarah,
duchess," the right to point over the
way to Buckingham palace and to
speak of "Neighbor George." In 1817
It was bought from the Churchllls for
the Princess Charlotte and Leopold,
afterward king of the Belgians. Later
Queen Adelaide was Its occupant. Her
numc or his would be at least as apt
as that of Marlborough for the house
each had inhabited. But Alexandra
House —the name of the first—might
well give the house a title which would
also he a welcome private and public
commemoration.—London Chronicle.
A Man of Nerve.
General Zurlinden, whose name will
recall the stormy times of 1898 when
he was military governor of Paris, has
been retired from the French army,
having reached the age limit. He was
the hero of an escape from prison dur
ing the war of 1870, which showed him
a man of great coolness and resource.
He was an artillery officer when the
war began, and, being taken prisoner
by the Prussians, he was on his refus
al to give his parole imprisoned in the
Silesian fortress of Glogan, on the
Oder. One dark night he got out on
the rampart, slipped past the sentinel
and made straight for the station,
where he encountered the governor of
Silesia and his staff about to depart
for Berlin. Zurlinden put on a bold
front and asked in perfect German (he
is an Alsatian) for a ticket to Berlin.
Thence he got to Bale via Frankfurt
and arrived in France in time for the
operations on the Loire.
Perila and Greece.
Ibraham Khan Dovleti, who lias re
cently been appointed Persian ambas
sador at Athens, is said to be the first
ambassador sent from Persia to Greece
since Darius sent heralds in 491 B. C.,
to demand earth and water from the
Greeks as symbols of submission to
him. The Athenians made arrange
ments to welcome the Persian this time
with imposing ceremonies, as they do
not Intend to kill him, as their ances
tors did the messenger of Darius. Al
though Persia lias had no minister in
Greece for more than twenty centuries,
it has been represented in Athens by
a consul in recent years.
They Don't Speak BDKII>II.
There are 1,470,000 persons over the
age of ten resident in the United States
who cannot speak the English lan
guage, exclusive of 72,000 Indians. The
number is about 2 per cent of the total
population. The largest number of
non-English speaking persons is found
in New York, where they number 220,-
000. Pennsylvania, Illinois and Texas
follow. Texas lias a considerable
Spanish speaking population. So have
New Mexico and Arizona. In the for
mer there are 10,000 persons not speak
ing English and in the latter 27,000.
The Beauty Found In Slime.
Slime, mere brown slime, inside a
watering trough or outside of damp
timbers consists of uncountable mil
lions of exquisitely designed geuilike
plants which under the title "Plants of
Crystal" are described and pictured by
Professor Albert Mann In Harper's
Magazine. There are more than 2,500
species of these microscopic plants, the
diatoms, and the variety of the beauty
of their forms is inconceivable. Pro
fessor Mann expresses surprise that
designers do not seek for new ideas
among these ornate creatures.
The Larffent Library.
The largest library in the world is the
Bibliotheque Nationale, in Paris, found
ed by Louis XIV It contains 2,000,000
volumes, 300,000 pamphlets, 173,000
manuscripts, 300,000 maps and charts
and 150,000 coins and medals. The col
lection of engravings exceeds 1,300,000,
contained In some 10,000 volumes. The
portraits number about 100,000. The
British museum and the Imperial libra
ry at St. Petersburg each contain about
1,500,000 volumes.
A Freak of Nature.
William Hcltz of Egg Harbor City,
N. J., is the possessor of a curious
freak of nature. It is a piece of flint
corn which nature lias molded into a
right hand. All five fingers are won
derfully well shaped and are in such a
position that a'bAsebull would just fit
Into their clutches: This ear of com
was the only the stulk, which
was in a large field. .

Two Remarkable Epitaphs.
The two most remurkable epitaphs ill
the United States are those of Daniel
Barrow, formerly of Sacramento, and
of Hank Monk, Horace Greeley's
stage driver. The former reads as fol
lows: "Here Is laid Daniel Barrow,
who was horn In Sorrow and Borrow
er! little from nature except his name
and his love to mnnklnd and ills hatred
for redskins. Who was nevertheless a
gentleman and a dead shot, who
through a long life never killed his
man except in self defense or by acci
dent, and who, when he at last went
um'er beneath the bullets of his cow
ardly enemies In Jeff Morris' saloon,
did so in the sure and certain hope of
a glorious and everlasting morrow."
nauk Monk's epitaph roads thus:
"Sacred to the memory of Hank Monk,
the whitest, biggest hearted and best
known Btage driver in the west, who
was kind to all and brought ill to none.
He lived In n Btrnnge era and was a
hero, and the wheels of his coach are
now ringing on the golden streets."
Ancient Football.
Philip Stubbeg wrote in 1583 In his
book on "The Anatomie of Abuses:"
"For ns concerning football I pro
test unto you it may rather lie called
a freondly klnde of fight than a play
of recreation; a bloody and nmrthering
practice than a fclowly sporte of pas
tynie. For dooth not every one lye In
walght for his Adverserie, seeking to
overthrow him and to plcke him on his
nose, though It be on bard stones, so
that by this meanes sometimes their
necks are broken, sometimes their
backs, sometimes their legs, sometimes
tliclr arms, sometlmcß one part thrust
out of Joynt, sometimes another; some
times the noses gush out with blood,
sometimes their eyes start out—fight
ing, brawling, contention, quarrel pick
ing, murtber, homicide and great effu
sion of blood, ns experience dayly
tencheth."
Chinese Justice.
The China Times relates nn extraor
dinary case of Chinese "Justice."
A Mr. Jen wns betrothed to Miss
Han and paid his money to the wo
man's parents. Then lie called on the
parents to have the contract fulfilled
and wns told that the promised one
was the bride of another.
Having paid his money he considered
he was entitled to the girl and went
to her husband's bouse to carry her
off, hut she wns not at home. He then
laid his onse before the magistrate.
The girl was arrested and sentenced
to he "kua-ed," the magistrate arguing,
"If you are so wicked at twenty years
of age, at the age of eighty you will
be a menace to the Celestial empire."
The process of kiln ing is very similar
to the ling-chili, or slicing to death
punishment.
The Popnlntlon of the Moon,
There is plenty of authority for be
lieving that there is a man In the moon.
In fact, there Is authority for believing
that there are women and other ani
mals there. Dante declares that Cain
wns banished to the moon and that he
can be seen there at any time. Chaucer
declares that the man In the moon was
guilty of larceny and that he carries a
thorn hush. Shakespeare loads him
with tlioriiß and gives him a dog. Ac
cording to the general version, he was
banished there for gathering sticks on
Sunday, and the Germans have ampli
fied this theory by giving him a wom
