Opinions of Himself.
'1 assure yon, sir/' said the at
tendant, "your portrait model is at
present the most popul rr in our col
lection, especially with ladies, sir."
Major Bailford Noel might well
have blushed, \fut he only laughed
and pulled his mustache as he gazed,
with amused criticism twinkling in
Iiis dark eyes, up at the waxen pre
sentment of himself.
He; and his friend Jimmy Barnes
had come carly to have a look at the
thing in advance of other sightsee
ers. He had not proposed the idea.
?As he himself would probably hav*?
expressed it, he "wouldn't haye had
the colossal cheek/' but a courteous
cote from the management bsd of
fered the privilege^ and Jimmy
Barnes had advised its acceptance.
And Major Bailford Noel; a
bronzed young man in an immacu
late frock coat, trousers with beau
tifully crisp folds down the front of
the leg, a tall, shining hat and par
ticularly smart gloves, stood staring
up at another Bailford Noel dressed
in shabby khaki, provided with sev
eral realistic red stains.
"Glad they like me," was the only
comment with which it occurred to
him to cap the compliment. "But
I bet if I could stand in that wax
chap's place for an hour I'd hear
things about myself that would
make mc feel small."
"You don't quite understand yet,
my dear boy, what a pet the British
public's been making of you these
hist few months or you wouldn't
be so beastly modest," said Jimmy
Barnes, who had only been restrain
ed from going out and trying to be
a hero on his own account by the
fact that he was too nearsighted to
know friend from foe.
"But I bet you, all the same, I
would hear some home truths about
myself if I could take that duffer's
place. Bet you $100."
"Dare you do it ?" asked Barnes.
"Do what?"
''Get up there" and try it."
"What! Have the wax beggar
carted away and- Oh, rot 1 Why,
they'd spot it in a minute, even
if"
"It's too foggy. Look here. You
could turn off a light or two,
couldn't you?"
"I-I'm afraid, sir, it couldn't be
managed," stammered the embar
rassed attendant. ,
"Why, it ought to be worth a rise
of salary if any one knew. Think
what a catch ! v But nobody need
know. And, besides, you're a good
chap, yoii know, taking a lot of
trouble for us."
IMr. Barnes illustrated his idea by
bringing from his pocket a handful
of attractive yellow coins.
"Don't you think, my friend, as n
favor to Maj or^ Noel"
"Oh, I say, .Barnes, I like that I"
j "Oh, I say, Noel, of course you
9 do. It's the chance pf your life.
? Besides, 'tisn't fair to make a bet
g| and then funk it."
1 "What was the bet, anyhow ?"
fl "You bet you'd hear things that
fl would make you feel bad if you
fl could stand in that 'absentminded
?fl beggar's' place. I bet the contrary.
?flBut-well, put it like this. If out
jflof every half dozen persons in the
flerowd three make adverse criti
?fleisms, you get m? "$100. If four
?flout of six admire you, your money's
?flin my pocket."

""?calculation. On second thought he
?would put it at $G0.

She went away. Noel could hear
the aggressive sweep of her skirt.
"Bloodthirsty old dear!" remark
ed one of the girls.
"Yes," agr?*ed the other; hut Fm
glad she's gone. She would have
been a jarring note. Oh, there ho
is-the darling!"
"That's Kitchener!" the latest
celebrity assured himself.
But no! Could, he believe his
eyes? They had como to a stop in
front of him. He smelled an ex
quisite fragrance of violets. He
saw two lovely faces under picture
hats, with large eyes looking up to
his. He hoped he was not breath
ing hard or blushing.
"Good gracious ! Doesn't it seem
as if his eyes met ours ?" exclaimed
tho divino being who had called him
a "darling."
"It doesn't seem like that to mc.
I don't think it'a at all lifelike. Who
ever saw human eyes stare so?
There's something very queer about
the nostrils, Cissy, dear. And just
look at those hands ! Did you ever
see anything so stiff ? I never could
understand how anybody could mis
take a wax figure for a human be
ing."
"I never could understand it till
now," answered Cissy dear. "But
he looks to me embarrassingly real."
"Suppose you were being intro
duced to each other. *Miss Dens
more, let me present Major Noel,
who wants so much to know you.'
Or would it bc more appropriate the
other way round ?"
'Tm afraid it would!" sighed
Cissy. "I shall never know him.
And I shouldn't be able to speak n
word to him if I did."
"Little idiot! I'll bet I would!
Wliy, there's hardly a girl who
wouldn't go down on her knees to
get him."
"I wouldn't. I might worship
him, but I'd want him to go down
on his knees to get me. I hate girls
who throw themselves at the heads
of men like that! It must disgust
them. And they say he doesn't
care for women. I-I think that's
one of the reasons I like him. He's
BO modest, tho dear, not the least
conceited, though he's such a hero."
"You always were great spoons'
on him, long before any one else
thought anything about him."
"Don't say 'spoons!' It was be
cause of things Tom told me. Tom
knows him!"-in.a tone of awe.
"Oh, Tom knows me, does he?"
thought the portrait model.
The question was, which Tom was
this Tom? Was he Cissy's brother?
or-really, it was awkward not to
know whether to feel a warm fra
ternal affection for Tom or a burn
ing enmity.
"Well, you know you're in love

And if this is like him he's getting

"Handsome! Why, he's got thc

"Oh, I must go! Well, goodby

Cissy, "and saying things one wouL

During tho rest of that day when
ever ho shut his eves ho could foe!
hut no matter. It would not boar
thinking of. Ho thought, instead,
of Ireland. She was going there to
morrow. Some Irish relations lind
asked him to spend a fortnight with
them in Dublin. He had refused.
But ho did wonder in what part of
Ireland she would be staying and
whether he had made a mistake in
refusing the invitation.
That night he went to a dinner
and theater party given in his
honor. He was the observed of all
observers, though he stood as far
back as he could get without going
through the floor.
"There's General Blank in the
front row of stalls," said his host
ess.
,Noci iooked down, but ho did not
see General Blank. He saw only

Mario Stuart hat.
"Who is that pretty girl with
chestn* t hair and violet eyes," ho
inquire, with an air of carelessness
-"the one in white?"
Nobody knew until Tom Fiske, a
modest subaltern on leave (asked to
fill an unexpected vacancy), timidly
announced his acquaintance with
tho young lady.
"She's a distant cousin of mine,"
said he, "an Irish girl, Cissy Dens
more, old Colonel Densmore's
granddaughter, you know; lives
with him in Dublin. - She's going
home tomorrow morning after a
visit-her first, I think. I may
travel in the same train."
"That's odd ! I'm going to Dub
lin tomorrow morning," said Noel.
He'd telegraph his relatives. "We'll
be traveling together, I suppose?"
Just one week later a dear Irish
girl secured the hero of Raeling.s
dorp-that hater of women-and
secured him without an effort, ex
cept on the soldier's part.
But it is not likely that she will
ever tell him how she "took a dare"
at Mme. Tussaud's, or that, if she
did, he would cap the story-at

Eat Plenty of Fruit.
Americans do not pay sufficient
attention to fruit on their tables.
More fruit and fewer vegetables
should be a household's policy. The
buying of fruit that is in season
means no unnecessary outlay of
money, and the results both as to
health and satisfaction of the appe
tite will be encouraging. There are
qualities peculiar to each kind of
fruit that render it of value to the
system.
From the point of view of health
the raw fruit is far better tlmn the
cooked. There is hardly a month
that some kind of raw fruit cannot
be had. Tho old farmhouse policy
of keeping a barrel of red apples
where anybody could help himself
was very wise. If it accomplished
nothing else, it at least saved doc
tors' bills. City hofl*es and small
houses and apartments cannot have
the apple barrel, but even the people
of small means can manage to have
some fruit always on hand.-Mary
Graham in Woman's Homo Journal.
The Burglar.

? own ways about doing things catch

"My dear," he said the other morn

were right when you told mo last
night that there were burglars in
the house."
"Why ?" she asked nervously.
"Because all the money that I had
in my pockets when I went to bed is
gone."
"Well," she said, with an I-told
you-so air, "if you had been brave
and got up and shot the wretch you
would have had your money this
morning."
"Possibly, my dear, possibly," he
said gingerly, "but I would have
been a widower."
She laughed softly then and gave
half of it back to him.

CLASSICAL MUSIC.
A 8!mp!c Way to Ten What the Or- j
cheatra la Playing.
There is a very simple method by
which even the greatest ckeptic may
ascertain whether a pieco of music
is good, bad or indifferent. It is as
follows: If tho music goes "one,
two, three, hop, hop, hop," or "one,
two, three, hum, bum, bum," you
may depend upon it that you are
listening to unmitigated rubbish.
But whon you hear music which
sounds as though a number of well
arranged notes were stuck into a
barrel and energetically stirred
about like a sort of harmonious oat
meal porridge, then you may assumo
that it .? a fugue and al once com- j
pose your features into an expres
sion of profound interest.
If, on listening to tho music, you
fancy the notes aro dropping acci
dentally on the floor and from timo
to time asserting themselves again
in a quiet, dreamy sort of way, then
the piece is probably a nocturno,
and nocturnos, as you are aware,
are very high class music indeed.
When thc notes seem to arrive in
truckloads and each truck con
tains, so to speak, a different sort
fro.u the ono that has gone before
and when the train appears to take
an unreasonable amount of time in
passing a given point, then the mas
terpiece is most likely a symphony,
ana symphonies are the greatest
musical creations hitherto produced.
When it appears as though tho
notes had been tumbled down helter
skelter, then vigorously shoveled up
into a heap and lastly blown into
the air with dynamite cartridges
that is a rhapsody, and rhapsodies
aro the latest variety of music out

Oliphant'6 Presence of Mind.
Tho late Laurence Oliphant, a
journalist and man of letters, was
once the correspondent of the Lon
don Times, which in France was a
hated paper. He attended a revo
lutionary meeting at Lyons, where
the population had begun to commit
desperate excesses.
He knew French so well, and BO
cleverly assumed the guise of a
workingman, that he was not sus
pected, but suddenly a rumor was
announced to the meeting that an
emissary of the brutal ' London
Times was there.
At once the mob was in an up
roar, and loud cries resounded of
"Cherchons-le! A la mort! A la
riviere!" (Let us find him! Kill
him! To the river with him!)
Oliphant jumped to his feet with
a look of overwhelming indignation,
shouting ct the top of his voice:
"Cherchons-le ! Moi, 30 le connais de
vue!" (Let's find him! I know
him by sight !)
Under cover of this zeal and hunt
ing everywhere for the detested
Englishman he made his escape.

ADULTERATED COFFEE.
GROCER WHITE FOUND GUILTY
OF VIOLATING OHIO'S PURE
FOOD LAWS.
Interesting Fact? Concerning the
Roasting ot Coffee Brought Ont br
?elentlfle Baaerta-Presence of Bac
teria.
TOLEDO, O., Aug. 3.-The Jury In Judge
Mock's court In this city has found
James White, a local grocer, guilty of
stiling adulterated coffee. The prose
cution was based on a package of Ar
buckles Arloaa coffee.
The State of Ohio, through the Pure
Food Commission, prosecuted White.
The ease was on trial for nearly a
mouth and attracted national atten
tion.
Tlio manufacturers of Ariosa coffee
conducted the defense for Grocer
White. The best attorneys In the
country were retained to defend him.
but, after u short consultation, a ver
dict of guilty was returned by the jury.
The State of Ohio considers this a big
victory. Pure Food Commissioner
Blnckhurn has been waging a warfare
on spurious food articles and the de
partment has been successful.
Thc co ni pla lut of tlie State of Ohio
was that Ariosa coffee was coated with
a substance which couccaled defects lu
the coffee and made It appear better
than lt is. The State charged this
couting or glazing was a favorable me
dium for the propagation of bacteria.
Prof. G. A. Klrchmaler, of this city,
a well known chemist, wns the princi
pal witness for the State. He had
made scientific examinations of sam
ples of Ariosa purchased from Grocer
White in the open market. He found
that each Ariosa berry contained on
average of 300 bacteria. Mr. Klrch
maler further testified that other cof
fees he examined contained few bacte
ria or none at all. He declared that
the glazed coffee was not a wholesome
food product.
Chemist Schmidt, of Cincinnati, cor
roborated the testimony of Prof. Klrch
maler. The Stato did not present fur
ther testimony.
The defense through tho Arbuckles,
who prepared this glazed coffee, se
cured some of the most eminent chem
ists and scientists in tho United States
to give testimony in their behalf. Prof.
H. Wi Wiley, of tho United States Ag
ricultural Department; Prof. Vaughn of
Ann Arbor University; Profs; Biotic
nnd Webber, of the Ohio State Univer
sity, were called to defend Ariosa. Dr.
Wiley had made a careful examination
of the method of manufacturing Ario
sa. He told of the 10,000,000 eggs used
by the Arbuckles yearly In the prepara
tion of this glazing. On this point In
cross examination, the State's attorney
deftly drew from him the information
that these eggs might be kept in cold
storage by the Arbuckles for a year or
two at a time.
The experts who heard Dr. Wiley's
testimony were pleased to be able to
"catch" so famous a chemist. The doc
tor at one point in his testimony ex
plained very clearly how lt ls that the
egg put Into the coffee pot by the house
wife settles the coffee. He said that
tho heat coagulates the egg, and as it
sinks to the bottom of the pot lt carries
the fine partie' *? of cof/ee with It, and
thus clarifies tnu drink. It is the act of
coagulation In the coffee pot that does
the work. Later on In his cross exam
ination, he had to admit that when thc
egg was put on Ariosa coffee at the
factory it became coagulated, and ns
egg cannot be coagulated but once, that
the coating on coffee was practically no
value, as a "settler" when lt reached
the coffee pot
Prof. Wiley acknowledged that the
glazing might be a favorable medium
for the propagation of bacteria, al
though ho would not testify positively
either way because ho was not a bac
teriologist,
Prof. Vaughn, of Ann Arbor, also a
witness for the Arbuckles, said he
found bacteria on Ariosa coffee.
Prof. Blelle, another witness for tho
defense, found nny number of lively
bacteria on Ariosa coffee he examined,
and he agreed that glazed coffee surely
was a more favorable medium for the
propagation of bacteria than unglazed
coffee.
Pure Food Commissioner Blackburn
says: "The State ls very much elated
over its victory against this corpora
tion. Wc are now considering the ad
visability of Informing every grocer In
the State of Ohio that lt ls an Infrac
tion of the laws to sell Ariosa, and at
the same time give warning to con
sumers that the coffee Is an adulterat
ed food article."
The verdict of the jury In this case Is
of national Importance because a great
many other States have pure food laws
like that of Ohio, and lt ls natural to
suppose that similar action will ho
taken by other Pure Food Commis
sioners to prevent the sale of glazed
coffees.

Lawrence, earl of Ferrers, a distant
relative of George Washington, had a
most tyrannical temper, and ono day hi
a fit of passion he cut down with his
sword his steward, an old gentleman
named Johnson. The latter had given
no provocation for the deed, and the
crime was an act of brutality inexcusa
ble save that the earl may not have
been well balanced mentally. He was
brought to trial for killing Johnson
and demanded and received the privi

The house of lords was thronged dur

to be conclusive, and Ferrers was sen
tenced to be banged at Tyburn. Ap

with considerable bravado. He was
carefully attired for the occasion and

His garb is always spotless white
wheo first he puts it on. .
But, lo! before an hour hath passed
its spotlessness Hath gone.
For then he hath vanilla on the

He maketh strange concoctions in

already changed her mind, and want
eth just a phosphate with a piece of
lemon rind.
And yet, again, the other maids de
clare they do not know just what they
wish, and on and on their mild objec
tions, flow.
The weary soda fountain derk sug
gested this and that, from a plain old
lemon phosphate to a dose of anti-fat.
And finally the ladies fair with one
consent conclude that chocolate and
cam shall be their sorta fountain
food.
Now, when he draweth all the
drinks, hi: troubles are not done
Nay, verily, my trusting child, they
arc but half begun;
For eaoh and every maiden there
doth straightway rises and say:
"Now, girls, Til think it's awful if
you du not let mc pay!"
And all protest, and all object, and
all their plans defend,
And not a ono takes out her purse
her lovely cash to spend.
Now, finally, the soda clerk big
ges tcth tl at each maid shall pay for
what she drar.k-and then beginncth
tlu tir-.de.
For all tho ladies vow in wrath
yea, yea, they almost sob-that they
will seo his employer, and take from
him his job.
And then they tako their parasols,
arid sternly go away, and not a cent
of all that bill do they' take steps to
pay.
Tho gentle soda fountain clerk, he
falloth in a daze, and lcaneth on thc
vichy tube, and wicked things he
says.
Is this not true, just as we have
composed it, with work?
It surely is-and if you doubt, go
ask the soda clerk.
