It came as 11. gr resent to my wife the other day from the arl of Salchester, whom we entertained when he was in America. a. ear or so ago. As you see it’s a mirror. glass is be- lieved to be a specimen of medieval Vene- tian work, and the frame is unquestionably a magnificent bit of Cinque- -cento.” This is a story that Dr. Clarke Forster told us after dinner. The whole affair was no bigger than a lady’s hand, the glass unusually thick, and fluted round the edge, was veined and spotted and bleared over with a fine bluish mist, like the eye of an aged man. The frame was indeed magnificent. Oval in shape and apparently of pure goldâ€"so soft, at any rate, that you could have indented it with your fin er nailâ€"it was sculptured with no fewer t an five exquisite nude fe- male figures, disporting themselves in fan- tastic but graceful attitudes among a profu- sion of delicately chiseled fruits and leaves. Three of these figures reclined upon tiny golden couches in each of which was set a lustrous ruby; the other two rode upon com'entionalized lions, and each lion held a pearl between his teeth. At the base a pair of dolphins twisted their tails together and formed the handle. Upon a scroll at the handle end were incised the date, 1561, and the initials, E. D. “It is a. beautiful iece of work,” said I laying it aside, “an I envy you the posses- sion of it. But what has it got to do with your visit here?” “Ever thing,” he returned. “It’s this way.” I‘le paused for a moment, then he went on. “Last night, after dinner, I picked that little mirror up, and I said jok- ingly to my wife, “This, my dear, is a mag- ical glass. If I hold it over my; waist-coat, thus, and you look in, you will see straight through, into my heart, and behold the face of the woman I love.” So Mrs. Carath- waite laughed and looked, and of course she saw her own face. Then to carry on the farce, I said, ‘Now let me see whether it will show me the face of the man you lave And, always laughing, I held it over her breast, and looked in. “1 es." I prompted as he paused again. “Well, doctor, instead of my own face, what I saw reflected in that glass was a grinning death‘s head, a skull. I saw it just as plainly as I see you now. I looked at it steadily without moving, I should think, three minutes. It never varied. A human skull is absolute detail, eyes, nose, teeth, even the very seams between the bones, perfectly distinct. I’m not a super- stitious man, but I confess the sight gave me the goose-flesh. If I were superstitious, I don’t know what I might think. I‘m not a. drinking man, either, or else I should be- lieve it was a touch of delirium tremens. As it is, I’m at an utter loss to account for it in any way, except on the theory that it’s the beginning of some mental dis- ease.” He spoke nervously, and looked at me anxiously when he had done. He was plainly in a “white funk.” “Oh, no Lhzmk you. .m H: =.1:. shan’t be able to em. wix )1 any uppvc’ this fear is at? _my mind. " “H ave you ever had any similar experi- ence before?

"” “Never 111 my life.” “Is your digestive apparatus in good “In such perfect shape that I’m never conscious of possessing such a thing.” “And your general healthâ€"” “Superb.” “Let me feel your pulse.” His pulse was firm, regular, and proper in time. “Show me your tongue.” His tongue was pink and clean. “Open your eyes wide, and look toward the light." His eyes were steady in the gaze, and pupils contracted readily, and the lid dropped spontaneously upon» iny approzrghing my _finger. . - “Then did it disappear?” “It did not disappear until I moved. As soon as I moved, the death's head disap- peared, and I saw the reflection of my own face.” slmpe‘ “No, I didn't want to alarm her. She noticed that I stared at the thing in rather a. startled manner, but. I laughed it off.” I was sxlent. for a. While, toying with the mirror, and wondered what the case might, mean.

He studied the frame th rough a mag- nifying glass. “This is a bit of work from the hand of Etienne Delaulne.” he an- nounced presently, “one of the most, skil- ful goldsmlths of the sixteenth century. I don’t know where you got. hold of it, but I may tell you that it is infinitely valuable. I have never seen a finer specimen of Delaulne’s handicraft, nor one in a better state of preservation.’_’ We entered my carriage, and were drive. down town to a famous curiosity shop in Seventeenth Street, just west; of Union Square, the proprietor of which, Mr. Mave- rick, is esteemefi, as everybody known, on. of the most learned authorities in antiqu. curios in America. “Here we are,” said I, getting out of tin carriage, “Will you come?” “But what are you going in here for!” questioned Carathwaite. “To consult our specialist,” said I. My patient looked mystified but he fol- loyed me into the shop: I presented my cafd, and asked to so. Mr. Maverick. In another minute we wet. closeted with him in his private office. “\Vill you hand Mr. Maverick your mir- ror ‘3" I demanded of Camthwaine. “And ihe glass. ’” I queried. “\Ve are especially interested m the glass. ” “The glass,” said Maveriék, “is probably Venetian. “I must examine it, a little.” He went to the window and began to scrutinize the glass, twisting it about, and peering at it. from various angles. “Ah, yes, I thought so !” he exclaimed all a once. “Come here, gentlemen, he called He held the glass of at a. certain oblic angle, and inquired “Now, when I hold likg tbsp, w_h1t d_o yqu see 2” _ “-Why, I see a human skull,” I said. “ § most perfect. image of a human skull. would swear it. was the genuine reflection of a real one.

" Horrors of the Masculine Elbow. “Will men never learn to keep their hands out of their pockets, and their el- bows down, while walking along a crowded street, or while in a street car?" wailed a frail little woman to her companion as the two fairly fought their wav the other day. “Some of the digs that I’ve received to- day from mens elbows have been simply terriffic! “e ought to begin a crusad. against the habit.
