To thelr immense surprise, however, when they came to look through their papers to find the bills they only found bills with blank spaces in the places where the swindler's name should have been and had actually been. 'They clamgred round him for an explanation of the strange affair, but he denied that he had ever given any of them bills and defied them to sue him for repayment of the loans, and the fact that the bills were devoid of the swindler's signa- ture rendered them absolutely worth- 88, hh wn The matter was put Into the hands of the police, who were able to discover that in signing the bills the man had used a solution of jodide of starch, which, when first used for writing, ap- pears much the same as ordinary ink, but completely disappears in the course of a few weeks, and, although traces of the chemical may subsequently be discovered, nothing can make the writ- ing show up again, Finding that his victims had discovered his method, the schemer decamped, despite the fact that the chances of the police obtain- ing a conviction against him were very remote indeed.

Thought He Was Mad. The late Count de Lesseps was travel- ing on one occasion in a French railway | train in a compartment with two com- mercial travelers. "I beg your pardon, sir,' said one of them, fancying that he belonged to their fraternity, "are you not a traveler?" "Certainly I am," said the count. "We thought so! What is your line?" "Isthmuses."" "Wh-wh-what," asked the puzzled com- mercial--"what are they?" "I am introducing ship canals," said De Lesseps gravely. The commercial travelers feared that they had fallen in with a lunatic and were making preparations to escape when the count handed them his card and put them at their ease.

Great preparations had been made for this special function, and long be- fore the appointed hour the rose gar- landed old amphitheater, where since the days of Cortes man and beast had met in an uninterrupted series of un- equal combats, was filled to overfiow- ing. oo On one side rose tier upon tier of dark eyed senoritas, closely guarded by ever watchful senoras; on the other side young bloods (haciendados), with the tightest of trousers and broadest of sombreros, heavily loaded wi old | and silver trappings, here and there | one in tailoring from the ai url slan models, for ev: i is undeniably dear and di the Mexican heart. ; : While awaiting the arrl f the queen of the flesta the audi cen- tered Its attention upon en in their midst--Philip Carter, erget- ic, elegant American, whose himage to the royal Isabella during few weeks' sojourn in Guanajua d al- ready given him notoriety, Senor Enrique Costillo, a recognize suitor, even now 'playing the bi or her favor. i The presence of the latter, of the best of their senores matado in the audience, signifying that hefwas to have no part in the fray, wa using evident comment among his' ds.

The bull, seeing a more feasible en emy, charged to his own death.

It is a very curious fact that certain plants grow and thrive on the bair of sloths, Apart from its extremely coarse and brittle nature, the most striking peculiarity of the outer hair of the sloth I8 its more or less decidedly green tinge. Now, green Is a very rare color among mammals, and there ought, | therefore, to be some special reason for One moment, as if daring even this, | and over he fell. Don Enrique gave a bound over the neck and, alighting on his feet, walked forward to the queen to receive the re- ward for his daring for her sake. The crowd roared and howled and stamped in its excitement. Beautiful girls snatched off their silken shawls, their flowers; cigars, hats, canes and handkerchiefs by the thousands came In a shower Into the arena. But Enrique was all unheeding. He was looking for something more. Sure- Iy she knew he had done it for her sake! Did she think her American lov- er would have done as much? But even as she placed the crown on his brow with hands that trembled and with eyes shy and beautiful he saw that she, too, had seen Carter rapidly threading his way to them between the benches, "Querida mia," Enrique whispered as her eyes dropped to his, But he knew the sudden flush that dyed her "face from throat to brow was not born of that endearment. That evening old Don Jose, the land- lord of the Hotel del Jardin, met Don Enrique coming from Philip Carter's apartments. "No esta aqui," said the old man. "He is not here. rita and her father came for him this morning, and they have just taken themselves away on the train." The disappointed anger on Enrique's face did not lessen any. "I have left a remembrance for him. When he returns, he will find it, and do you tell him Enrique Costillo left it." "Diablo!" said old Don Jose when he its development In the sloth, and, as a matter of fact, the means by which this coloration is produced. is one of the most marvelous phenomena in the whole animal kingdom, so marvelous, indeed, that it is at first almost impos- sible to believe that it is true. The object of this peculiar type of coloration Is, of course, to assimilate the animal to its leafy surroundings and thus to render it as inconspicuous as possible, and when hanging in its | usual position from the underside of a bough its long, coarse and green tinged hair is stated to render the sloth almost Indistinguishable from the bunches of gray green lichens among which it dwells. In the outer sheath of the hairs of the ai there are a num- ber of transverse cracks, and in these cracks grows a primitive type of plant --namely, a one celled alga. And for the benefit of nonbotanical readers it may be well to mention here that algme, among which seaweeds are included, form a group of flowerless plants related on the one hand to the fungi and on the other to the lichens. In the moist tropical forests forming the home ef the sloths the alge in the | cracks of their hairs grow readily and thus communicate to the entire coat | that general green tint which, as al- His American seno- | ready sald, Is reported to render them almost indistinguishable from the clus- ters of lichen among which they bang suspended. THE FATE OF CORONETS. w. Lord Brougham's Became G. Childs' Fruit Dish, Peers and their coronets are soon parted when the ceremonial use has been served. The fate of ohe coronet is told by a correspondent of M. A. P. He writes: "When | was staying some years ago in Philadelphia with G. Ww. Childs, the well known proprietor of | The Ledger newspaper there, I noticed found Enfique's dagger driven to the | hilt through the covers of Philip Car- ter's bed. Two weeks later he received word from Carter to forward his traps to the office of the Mexican Central. Possibly Carter considered that In Guanajuato there was nothing of suffi- clent interest for the American girl who was to be his wife.~Vogue. The End of the Beau. Beau Nash, like Beau Fielding and Beau Brummel, was to expiate his con- temptible. vanity in an old age of ob- | scurity, want and misery. As he grew t is old he grew insolent and seemed insen- | sible to the pain he gave to others by, his coarse repartees. He was no lon ger the gay, thoughtless, idly industri- ous creature he once was. The even ing of his life grew cloudy, and noth- ing but poverty lay in the prospect be- "fore him. Abandoned by the great, whom he had so long served, he was obliged to fly to those of humbler sta- tions for protection and began to need that charity which he had never re- fused to any and to learn that a life t= of gayety finds an Inevitable end in misery and regret. A new generation sprang up to which His splendor gradually waned. Neglect filled him 'with bitterness, and he lost thereby 'the remainder of his popularity. His income now became very precarious, so that the corporation voted him an al lowance of 10 guineas, to be paid him "on the first Monday in each month. He long occupled a house known as Gare rick"s Head, subsequently occupied by Mrs. Delaney, but he died in a smaller one near by.--Nineteenth Century. Be ---------------- CA and © i at dinner one evening a peculiarly shap- ed gilt stand used as a support for a china dish containing grapes. My host, | observing that I was scanning it rather closely, said: 'Oh, that is the coronet Lord Brougham wore at the queen's coronation. I bave taken out the vel vet cap and turned it upside down. The golden balls form excellent feet, and it makes a most elegant dish stand.' Which it certainly did." But what is the fate of coronets com- pared with the fate of coronation robes? A large portion of George IV.'8 wardrobe, including the coronation robes, was put at public auction In the summer of 1831. There were 120 lots disposed of, and some of the items are interesting. A pair of fine kid trousers, of ample dimensions and lined with white satin, was sold for 12 shillings, The sumptuous crimson velvet corona- tion mantle, with silver star, embroid- ered with gold, which cost originally, according to the auctioneer, £500, was knocked down for 47 guineas; a richly embroidered silver tissue coronation waistcoat and trunk bose, £13. The purple velvet coronation robe, embroid- ered with gold, of which It was said to contain 200 ounces, brought only £55, although it cost bis late majesty £300. An elegant and costly green velvet mantle, lined with ermine of the finest quality, presented by the Emperor Alexander to George IV. which cost 1,000 guineas, was sold for £125. A Singular Bequest. A peculiar fate is sald to overhang the family of the late Sir Julian Gold- smid. An ancestor of his, so says the legend, once gave shelter to a rabbi, who, at his death, left to him a bequest of a mysterious box, which was on no account to be opened until after the customary seven days of mourning. If gators, according to the lite Pro- r Cope, belong to a much more modern genus than that of thelr cous- ins the crocodiles. No undoubtedly ex- tinct species of alligator has ever been vered by geologists, but those ani- ls are fast being exterminated at the present day on account of the val- » of their hides. Alligators are found in China as well as in North America. : crocodile exists in Africa, south- rn Asia aad northern Australia. The ocad) ers from the alligator In g salt water to fresh and in before the pened before that time, a curse would fall upon the family. Curiosity got the better of supersti- tion, and the box avas opened before the seven days were up. In It was found a document which said that as the Injunction of the rabbi had not been heeded no future owner of the es- tate would be succeeded by a son. And such, strangely enough, has been the case ever since. "Disgusting," sald one old bachelor _ to the other.

Beginning to unwrap the bundle, which had been somewhat disarranged in the haste to embark, the proud mother first unfolded a cunning pair of blue worsted booties that might fit a grumpy old bachelor's thumb. Then, feeling the eyes of the world upon her, ghe showed baby's two fat legs, which were as pink as her own ears, Then the cunning sight was solemnly shut from all eyes by a procession of gowns all of white, laced, tucked, embroidered and plain, the fat legs kicking vigor. ously, and baby's laces hid them from sight. Then the little mother gat the bundle upright and threw a soft cloak from the other end, disclosing a round face, a pair of blue eyes wide open in amaze- ment and as pretty and baldheaded a baby from end to end as ever made a bachelor angry at his own lost oppor- tunities. Then the three mothers smil- ed at each other's baby. "Disgusting," sald the bachelors. Then they went out oh the platform, and one took a chew of tobacco and the other lighted the butt of a malodor- ous dead cigar he had been carrying. POCKET COMPASSES. Thousands of Them Sold Yearly te | Hunters and Others. | "Pocket compasses," said a dealer In such things, "cost from 25 cents to $10 each, and they are made in various sizes, from tiny compasses half an inch or less in diameter up to those of about the size of a hunting case watch. "Many compasses are carried in nick- eled hunting cases. Some of the tiny open compasses are carried for a charm on watch guards. "In the cheaper pocket compasses the needle turns on a brass bearing; in the costlier compasges on a& bearing of (agate, In either, of course, the needle will point north, but the compass with the agate bearing will wear much lon- ger. "A good pocket compass will last a lifetime. A considerable part of the cost of the more expensive pocket com- passes may be due to the material used in them and to elaborateness of finish. "A ten dollar compass, for instance, might have a pearl face, and so on, but a good compass, with an agate bear- ing, as good a/compass, In fact, as & man needs, can be bought for $1.50.

NAMES OF CLOTHES. ------ Franse Was the Birthplace of Many Universal Designations. Some people occasionally feel bewilder- ed by the names the articles of feminine | learning their origin and derivation. The | word "costume" comes from the French | word signifying custom and dress from ! the Trench verb dresser, to make straight, and this is derived from deriger, to direct. Petticoat comes from the An- glo-Norman outdoor garment which was called a "cotte" and was subsequently | modified into coat. | Petticoat, or small coat, is due to petty, | slgnifying small. Skirt is from the Anglo- Saxon word scyrtan, to shorten.

The following stirring Incident of the two flags happened at Valparaiso, Chile, and was related at Montreal in 1881 by the Rev. Dr. J. O, Peck. Dr. Peck sald: "The man who gave me the facts I am about to relate was Mr. Haskins, an American sailor who had sailed to a port in Chile. On going ashore, he said, to enjoy his day of liberty he i drank a little and became hilark One of the police officers, warning him not to make a the street, drew his sword - ing him a blow, knocked him down. On that the American sailor got i and knocked the policeman down im return. He was on that arrested and tried and condemned to be shot in the morning of the following day. "Mr. Loring, the American consul, ex- postulated with the authorities that it would be monstrous to shoot the man for such ah offense, but they paid no attention to him, so he thereupon made a formal protest in the name of the United States government against the barbarous act. Mr. Haskins, the sail- or, was In the merning brought out pinioned to be shot. "As the English consul was prepar- ing to holst the union jack he saw the crowd in the field opposite, where the | execution of the American sailor, of which he had heard, was to take place. Rushing over the American consul, he sald, 'Loring, you're not going to let them shoot that man!' . "What can I do? he sald. 'I have protested against it, I can do no more." "Quick as thought the English con- sul shouted, 'Give me your flag!' And fn a trice the stars and stripes were handed to the English representative. At once, taking his own union jack im -- his hand, he hastened across the field, elbowed his way through the crowd and soldlery, and, running up to the doomed man, he folded the American flag around him and then laid the un- fon jack over it. Standing a few paces back, he faced the officers and soldiers and shouted defiantly, 'Now, shoot, if you dare, through the heart of Hng- land and Americal" "And they dared not do it, for they | feared the consequences, so the mar = | was at once released. In telling me sald Dr. Peck, "Mr. Haskins said to me, with tears streaming down his cheeks even then, 'They loosed me then, and, oh, how I longed to embrace those two flags!"
