"I do not caro as much about dia monds as most folks," said grand ma, who had hitherto boen a silent listener to a discussion which wo younger people were having about gems, but our disoussion instantly gave p?aoe to interest in grandma's remark, for what she had to say wo generally found intensely interest ing. Polishing her glasses, grandma , said: "They were associated in my mind with a youthful escapade of mino that caused me so much dis tress of mind that for a long time I ?ould not bear to look upon a dia mond if I could help it, for as sure as I did I experienced all tho feeling of deathly faintness which overcame me when I ruado tho startling dis covery that I had lost my stepmoth er's jewels." Here grandma put on her glasses a:ad resumed her work, as if that was the end of the matter. But the olamor which followed this move on her part soon convinced her ?bat our newly awakened interest was not to bo so easily allayed or her work re- , sumed until wo had heard the story or! her escapade. \ "Well, y cu know, "said grandma, i "? was quite young when my mother <Iied, and my stepmother was a woman of very good family and con- i sidorablo wealth. I wa the only ! ohild, and, I fear, somewhat spoiled, j That winter I made my debut in so- i oioty, which wa3 an event I had long looked forward to. Mother had been very indulgent to me, and not one , of the bevy of buds who were to come ont at the same time had a handsomer or more costly outfit , laban that which was ordered for me. ; "But I did not have a single oma- ! mont given me for the event. Most . ?f my companion buds had been more fortunate than myself in that respect .'.omehad pearls of great ', price bestowed upon them. A few had old fashioned gems reset for '. them, while one or two had confess- ; ed to borrowing from sisters already married or older friends ornaments olegant enough to wear upon that auspicious occasion, for young ladies .did not in those days make their first appearance aba tea or a recep- j ffcibn," added the^ old lady, with a ' ?rather disdainful curl of her lip. ' f'A grand ball was considered the iproper thing. j jv "Now, my stepmother had a set j of magnificent diamonds whioh she ; never wore, for as she was a great ?nnisrer from asthma she seldom w#nt into society. She had planned, however, to' chaperon me, but a .cold caught a few days before had jbrought on an unusually severe at tack of her old complaint, and a friend of tho family, who was bring ing out her own daughter, was to cafco charge of me also. "Under tho circumstances I ven tured to ask my stepmother to ISL toa wear her diamonds and received ft very prompt and decided refusal to iny request It is needless to say I sulked a good^ deal. I could not understand why she should refuse to thus complete my happiness. Of course she was right, and I was wrong, but at the timo I thought I was a much abused individual. "I poured my tale of woe into the .sympathetic ears ' of my closest friend, Dilly Smith-Daffy Down Dilly, as we girls called her. She was not a bit like a daffodil, but a very sturdy young lady, fall of spirit jftnd resource, whioh she needed, be ing the only girl in a houso full of .boys.. j ; " 'Won't your father como to the rescue?' s&id Dilly, f "But I sl.ook my head. I knew j hotter than to appeal to him. "'Do you-know where they are. -kept?' she next inquired, and I ac knowledged that I did. < " ?Help yourself,'* said Dilly. 'She I wfll never know it, and even if she ; should hear of it afterward she will j 'overlook it, or you can do penance, j t?ajrjQonds are your stylo exactly, | pStld it is mean of her not to let you I [tiorrow a piece.' f "It is not a difficult task to per .euade ono to follow the way their inclination leads, as mino did in that .case. I know right from wrong very decidedly, but I soon made myself believe that mother would overlook my disobedience and forgive me for ?caking such a liberty with her jewels. r "When ono yields to a tempta tion, I believo things are made easier for them, at least so it seemed to mo \ then. The very day of tho ball an aunt of mino-my father's oldest j sister-came from a distanoe to [ make us a short visit, and mother j was consequently much occupied, ?o that I found an opportunity to | get tho diamond case out of tho email iron safe in mother's room and parried it to my own chamber, j whore, behind locked doors, I made my selection. "I did not intend to wear them all, my natural tasto making up for my youthful inexperience. I chose .a brooch, a most beautiful affair, .anti the earrings to match. These ? made up into a tiny but solid parcel, which I slipped into tho pocket of my ball dress, intending to put thom j on after I got to tho bali. i; as I did not daro mako a sec iL) to tho safo that day I had a place to sacrote the case, , wren irs precious conteras, ?mn ; oould pot back tho pieces wilie ; had borrowed, when, all complete j would return it to its proper pla j Tho key, however, I must restore ! its regular hiding jilaoe, as my I ther was accustomed to put his v i uables in the safe at night, andth( I would be a great outcry if the k I should be missing. ' "Now, I never had turned a k t in any drawer lock in my lifo, fact, I doubt if up to that day I h ever required a place to secrete an thing. My mother had free accc to everything in my room. T servants were honest and tru? worthy, but still I felt that I mt; put those gems in a seoure plaoe u til the morrow, and the case w bulky, oblong in shape and mig attract'attention. Now, inmyrooi tho furniture of which was most old fashioned, was a massive o ?wardrobe, with a heavy cornie supported by brass feet, and t] thought suggested itself that upc the top of that my case would be s cure. I at once climbed upon a chai but oven, on tiptoe I could onlyreac the top edge of tho huge old thin So catching tho caso by its end 11 it slip out cf my fingers, and quickly disappeared from my vie\ There was a little click as it settle down on the dust covered top, and got down from tho chair just as tl boll rang for luncheon. "Tho proper thing, I suppos would have been for me to bo wo: ried by tho stings of conscience tL rest of tho day ; but,, strange to sa] during the busy afternoon I nove gave the diamonds a thought. ] was not -until I encountered Dill Smith, who was leaving tho dres:: ing room just as I entered with m chaperon and her daughter, that remembered them. "Dilly's oyes questioned my sue cess, and she nodded approval who I whispered that I had followed he advice. But somehow the desire t wear them was not so keen, primped and prinked before the mil ror to gain time, for, to tell th truth, I was ashamed to wear th purloined gems. Suddenly, if an al tendant had not caught mo, I shouli have fallen, for I made the startlini discovery that the little packag containing the diamond brooch an earrings was no longer in my pooket "I cannot describe the deathh sickness that overcame me when realized that my mother's precien jewels were lost or stolen. Stolei I could not believe that they coult be, but lost they certainly were, ant what was to become of me? M3 chaperon, who had known mo al my life, was goodness itself to me. "Of course when I had rocovoret a little from my faintiioss I had tc go into tho ballroom, but tho time ] spent there was agony. Tho music seemed to madden me with its hap py strains, and at last my ohaperoz sent me home. "There I, a worn and spent young creature, a very fadeu* and wilted bud indeed, much to my consterna tion, found my mother up awaiting my return. And after one look ir my face that smote me to the heart -it was so full of loving compassion and grieving-disappointment-she told me that ehe had the brooch and the earrings. With a great sob o? intonse relief I fell upon her bosom and asked her forgiveness. "It scorned that while the hair dresser was engaged with mo my mother had taken my aunt to look at my ball dress, and whilo handling it tho little package fell from the pocket.. She was not at all suspi cious and was about to return it, when something prompted her to carry it away for privato inspection. Then when sho found that I had taken her diamonds without her knowledgo or consent she resolved to punish mo by allowing me to think that I had lost thom. " 'And, now,' she added, 'what have you done with tho rest, for I found that tho case was no longer in tho safe?' " 'Oh, mother dear,' I said, 'they aro safo enough. I know where they are, and if you will como to my room I will hand thom over with great pleasure, for indeed I never want to soo them again. I have suffered so acutely for my disobedi ence.' "Mother followed me at once to my room, and just as I was, in my ball dress, I put a high hassock on the chair, climbed up and readied over tho edge of tho cornice, oxpoct ing every minuto to put my hand upon the caso, hui to my consterna tion nothing met my eagerly grop ing fingers. For tho sec ?.1 timo that night I turned dea; y faint and sick and clung trembling to tho wardrobe until my mother helped me down. She was tailor, and, tak ing my place, with the aid of a lighted candi? sho scanned careful ly tho dusty top of tho wardrobo, but the tragic look on her face told mo that the caso of diamonds was no longer there. " 'Go to bod, child,' she said. 'Tomorrow wo will search further. Your father must not know of this for both our sakes. Ho has always insisted that tho hank was tho proper l>laco for my jewels, but it was a ploasuro to mo to look at thom tis I oould so seldom woar thom, a pleas ure which I fear J. will never enjoy again, and what your father would say if ho knew o? this I dare not even think.' "I never knew how 1 put in tho rest of that night, but 1 didnoi close my eyes. In ibo morning, alter fa ther had gono to his ?frico and aunt had gone visiting, my mut ncr and a servant with a high stepladder in vestigated that wardrobe, top, bot tom and back, but nothing excopt dust rewarded their search. . ,^u-^.. . .,?f-. ; "Then I was in deep despair. My mother was liku an angel. Sho did not roproach me, but I saw that she i did not bolieve that I had over put i tho casu upon thu tup of thu ward robe. " 'If you had, child,' sho said, 'it i would certainly hu thure, as you say no ono saw you do it. It could not j walk a way. ' j ." 'That it certainly could not, mother,' I replied, 'but I surely put tho case on tho top of tho wardrobe. I w;ish you would toll lather or lot mo. Ho might bo ablo to do somo , thing.' "But mother, good, simple soul, declined. In the meantime I did not j sleep, and hardly ate, and conso ? quontly soon bocaino a subjoct for tlio doctor. I saw that my illness j puzzled my father, as hitherto I had ! had perfect health, but my mother j was my devoted nurse and gratified every wish exoept to allow me to toll my father, and to divulge to j him my secret trouble seemed tho j only thing which I longed to do. ? "But it happoned ono day that fa ! ther mot the husband of my ball ? room chaperon. That lad}*, who had called, of course, had boon urged to secrecy by my niothor. She, good woman, did not believe in having any secrets from her husband, so told him, mal he, forgetting or ig noring her caution, when hoencoun j tcred my father inquired if the casu j of missing diamonds had turned up. i "1 saw when my father entered 1 my room that day that ho know at j last, and before mother roturncd he ] was in full possession of all that I ; knew about tho gems, j " 'But, oh, father,' I said in con j elusion, 'mother has behaved like an j angel ! Say or do what you liko to ! me, but do not bo cross to her, for I J cannot bear it, oven though .she will j not believe that I put the case of diamonds, or rather dropped it out of my hand over the edge of tho cornice, on to the top of the ward robe. ' "To my surprise my father start-" ed, and all the gravity left his faoe. " 'It's all right, ohild,' he said. 'You dropped the case or? tho top of tho wardrobe, and I would, swear, that this moment the missing gems are reposing in the dust of ages on the false bottom of that precious old wardrobe. You and your mother ! might have saved yourselves a good deal of suffering if you had told me of this a week ago. ' "At this moment mother came into tho room, and when ho had spoken to bur ho walked toward the wardrobe, hitching up the knees of his irousors as ho went. Tho next thing I knew hu was down on his sido on tho floor, and after consider- ! ablo effort ho slipped asido a metal button ur something which gave a little click similar totbuuoi.se which 1 heard when tho cast) of diamonds dropped from my band on to tba wardrobe top. 1 could see from where I lay on my couch a little hinged board hanging down. Thou father turned over on his back and groped with his fingers as far as ha evidently could roach, and in a few i minutes held out with a very du?ty hand the missing casu of diamonds. "It is needless to say that I got wall at once, and mother let father put her diamonds in the bank for safo keeping. An eccentric aunt of my father's had had tho wardrobe built. At tho sido of tho cornice ibero was a piece of board with a i spring that covered a recess between I tho inside shell and tho outside of ; the wardrobe, which recess ran from ' top to bottom.

The woman with the distempered imagination had been reading a good doal in tho papers about the incom petency of drug clerks in general, and when sho took her proscription down to tho corner dispensary to have it filled sho concluded it would bo a wiso move to do a littlo investi gating on her own hook and find out whether or not the attendant knew his business. "I see," she said, holding the piece of folded paper firmly between thumb and finger and preparing to resist any attempt that might bo made to wrest y from her forcibly, "that an examination of the meth ods employed by you young men and your instructors has produced a good deal of a stir. As I under stand it the most of you are defi cient not only in practice, but in theory as well. Is that BO?" She struck a clinching question in the beginning, and the young man, who was especially sore on a point that had been raked over with burn ing coals for several days past, look ed tired and sighed audibly. "I believe there is something in it," he said politely. "I have a prescription here," tho woman wont on, srill grasping tho paper tightly, ''but I feel a littlo squeamish about giving it to you. Unloss you feel suro tbat you can teH from tho doctor's Latin just what ingredients tho medicines will contain and will know them when you soe them and will be able to mix them in the proper proportion I don't want you to touch it. I havon't had anything to do wil;h drug store3 for a good while, and I don't intend to run the risk of being poisoned. If you can't do it, say so. " Tho clerk leaned heavily against the showcase and said that ho had been filling 100 bottles, more or less, j every day for tho last six years, and that he thought he was qualified to , wait on her. He added, however, i .that if she was afraid to risk it it might be advisable? for her to go elsewhere. She considered tho latter proposition for a little while. Then, j evidently being won over by his : straightforward way of going at j things, sho decided to trust him. "I think," she said, reluctantly yielding the prescription to him, "that you will do as well as any of them. I ask as a special favor, how ever, that you givo me permission to watch you while you aro putting it up. I consider it nothing more than a proper safeguard in view of the reports that aro going round. " j The clerk hesitated. "It is something decidedly out of the ordinary," be answered doubt fully, "but if you insist I have no objection personally." From a box beneath the counter he took a four ounce bottle and filled it with a colorless liquid from a glass jar on a shelf behind him. He commenced to paste on a label, but the woman stopped-him. "I'm afraid,"she ohirped, flutter ing around nervously,'"that you aro not doing that right. You are too careless. You are noe measuring or : mixing anything. I wish you would ! wait till the boss comes." The clerk made a grab for his breath, which seemed fast deserting , him undor such a heavy prossure, ? and dropped, the four ounco bottle to the counter. "Madam," ho said faintly, "you ? may wait for the boss, or you may take this proscription to anothor drug store, or you may burn it and j go without tho medicino altogether. j It won't make a particle of differ ence, for this calls for nothing but j Water.

SACRED MUSIC. ..,-.^^r: A Few Facts About Its Traduction and tlie Forms In Which It Is Sold. - There is a constant production of new sacred music, as of new secular music, and of tho sacred music, as j with the secular, some succeeds, j while hy far the greater part does not. Almost ovory composer except those who devoto themselves to tho very lightest forms of musical com position has triod his hand at sacred music. A great deal of it is written I hy church organists. It may he that tho minister of tho church fur nishes tho versos. When the work is ready, it is sent to a music Pub lishing house, where it is submitted to an examiner, as a book might bo submitted to a, reader in a book pub lishing house or a manuscript to an editor in tho office of a newspaper. Sometimes, as has happened with books, a musical composition may for one reason and another be de clined by a number of housas and yet finally find a publisher and suc cess. About three-fourths of tho sacred shoet musio published is issued in octavo form, in whioh shape it is very much cheaper than in tho or dinary form. Tho reduction in prico has led to an enormously increased demand. Tho number of chorus choirs is increasing rapidly through: out tho country, and there aro choral or singing societies in every town and villago. Most of tho choirs and societies uso the octavo music. Whiio of tho sheet music, inits older and moro expensive form, they may havti bought within a certain period, say one new composition of tho much less oxpensivo octavo music, they may perhaps buy within a liko period ton new compositions, and when this number is every time multiplied by tho number of singers to bo supplied some idea of tho sale of sheet music in this form may bo had. Of saored shoet musio in its various forms there are sold alto gether millions of copies annually. There are not nearly so many suc cessful sacred songs as there are successful secular songs, but some sacred songs have attained great success. A sacred son g that becomes popular is of very ready sain and while it may not sell as readily as a popular secular song, it outlasts it, and with its slower but steady salo it may in the end a ttain a sale as groat. Some hymnbooks and reli gious songbooks havoboen extreme ly successful. Of "Gospel Hymns," tho book used by Moody and Sankey, millions of copies have been sold, and it still sells steadily. It is said of this book that moro copies of it have been sold than of any book ex cept the Bible.-New York Sun. Social Blunders. At a reception recently a certain young man got into trouble by join ing in a conversation when he knew not with whom he was talking.

Larger 2 )>ibit of Poisons Titan ??; Wise. I Tho recent prosecution for sellii ' orange wine containing a littlo ov threo grains to thc pint of salicy] acid suggosts tho propriety of di cussing shortly tho general questit of preserving foods hy antiseptic : Wines are sulphured and doctor* ' with salicylic acid, fluohoratcs ai fluosilicates. To milk in hot weath all sorts of antiseptics are adde tho chief being horacio acid, varii ! of late by the addition of formali i Boracic aoid or borax is also tho f j voritc antiseptic for butters, j may, indeed, be stated general i that all decomposable articles n ' sterilized by boiling or preserve ; from change by cold are liable be treated with small quantities antiseptics.

Salicylic acid is a poison. In IS a case happened in which so sm? a doso as threo grams (-10 grain caused death in 40 hours. Possih tho acid was impure. In throe otbi cases in which decided and dange ou3 symptoms were produced tl doso was much larger, being 15, : and 50 grams respectively. Sa] cylicand bonzoic acids aretberape ti cally attenuated phenols. Phen : being most poisonous, then corni salicylic acid, and lastly benzo acid. What the effect of small dos? of salicylio acid, say 5 grains dail; may be is at present a matti of conjecture. We know that most < it is excreted by the kidneys unite with glycocoll, and also that it is substance which readily enters in1 ! combination, forming a variety < ! aldehydes and esters, the physioloi ical effects of which aro not pr< cisely tho same as the free acid, J is conceivable that small quantitie of salicylio acid, when thej' come i contact with the intestinal and gai trio juices, are in this way chang?e It is also possible that long bottlin of a wine with salicylic acid wi chango the acid into salicylio este or salicylic aldehyde. Schmitt, fe . instance, has found that, althoug Bhine wines are sulphured, the ol Rhino wines contain no freo sulphui ous acid, the greater portion ha's ing combined with aldehyde, forn ing aldehyde sulphurous acid. Bo this as it may, the growing us j of antiseptics constitutes a possibl ? danger to health. Persons wit ? sound excretory organs have fo years daily taken ohemicals of th j kind in their food without injury yet it can be confidently predictei ; that other persons with damaged o t weak kidneys will be affected b; ? minute doses. It must also be re membered that digestion in the in testines is carried on to a great ex tent by what, outside the intestines would bo recognized as a fermenta tive or putrefactive process. Ii short, just as tho nourishment of i number of plants depends on thi microbes around their rootlets, se tho assimilation of our own nourish ment depends to a largo degree oi tho activity of hosts of colonies o: microbes in tho intestinal canal. AI antiseptics, even in minute quanti, ty, will inhibit tho activity of these colonies or affect unequally variout species, tho net result in ordinary individuals being an impairment oi digestion br anactual dyspepsia.
