f The Living t J WaxTigiire.? LHow * Hero Got Unbiased Y 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." & The attendant h fd finished his ""?calculation. On second thought he ?would put it at $G0. s M * * .* * * .

"You go/* returned one of tho girls. "We want to look at the sol diers?' 'Tm tired of soldiers !" said the old lady. 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 with liim, though he isn't a hit handsome; his nose is too ' long And if this is like him he's getting quite bald." "Handsome! Why, he's got thc best, bravest face I ever saw. Bul isn't it funny the light gives such an odd effect here. His complexion gets much redder than it did wher wo first came in."

Cissy, "and saying things one wouL die sooner than have him hear. It' like talking to a man who's asleep. .

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 the loveliest girl in the world, wear ing a fluffy white dress instead ot a blue cloth with gold bra1" L and a 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 least not till a great many yearn have passed.-Answers. 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.

"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.

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 -D?sseldorfer Anzeiger. 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. Courting Sunday. Throughout Holland the four Sundays in November are kept as fete days.

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. Washlnirton'a Faatldlcns Kinaman, 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 lege or being tried by his pt ors. The house of lords was thronged dur ing the bearing. The evidence proved to be conclusive, and Ferrers was sen tenced to be banged at Tyburn. Ap peals were made to the king for clem ency, but In vain. Ferrers met his fate with considerable bravado. He was carefully attired for the occasion and insisted on providing a silken cord for thc ceremony.

Consider now thc mock and humble soda fountain derk. Who draweth off tho moistened air with nimble turn and jerk. 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 bosom of his vest ; anA streaks of red raspberry make his trousers seem a jest. Whilo chocolato and ginger give a ti gerish effeot to the balanco of the garments in which he is proudly dook " J 3 Vt. His hair is limp and languid, and is parted square and true. Above the very center of hi? nose which turneth blue. Because he hath to linger in tho acid and thc ice. to fix up funny mixtures for the one that hath thc price. He maketh strange concoctions in thc linc of fancy drinks, and all tho whilo ho watohoth for persuasive sorts of winks. From early morn ho twisteth at the ?oda water spout, and turueth the ico crusher till tho icc hath given out. Ile diggcth in thc ico cream and ho rusheth with the glass, while his dead ly hated rival buys the soda for tho lass. Yea, verily, the soda clerk, he hath a sorry time, for ho must know tho way to get !* cents out of each dime; And ho must bo n hustler, that there will not be a loss of icc or water, or he'll tremble at tho boss. How often, oh, how often, hath the soda jerker grinned at thc one who payeth nickels for a penny's worth of wind; How often, oh, how often, doth a calm and peaceful smile goflittiug o'er his visugo when a drink goes out of ftyle. But ah, alas, my sou, sometime he feeleth very bad, and then is when the ladies come with garments rich and glad. The ladies fill the rockers and the fioorways and tho stools, and insist upon a liquid that both elevates and cools. And one dcclareth that she'd like some chocolate wi tn cream, and, when he draweth it, straightway "Oh, no!" the maid doth scream. And then she vc *eth that ahe hath 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. -Baltimore Ann rican. I After He Comes j he has a hard enough time.
