Uer Collection of Emeralds ruts to Shame the Majority of Koyal Gems. Patti's wardrobe is something that fashion writers rave over. At every performance she of course wears the newest concert costume. In the opera that follows she wears the dress requi site for the part she plays. The concert costumes are the productions of the first Parisian milliner, and one may be sure that the wily milliner, getting an order from Patti, would exert himself for this queen of song as he would for no crowned head Her jewels are the most elaborate worn by any woman outside of royalty, and even royalty's gems fade before her matchless collection of emeralds. In some concerts Mine. Patti wears a cos tume of pink and silver brocade, over which is worn a delicate green satin de imperatrice. Witli this costume she wears a dog collar of emeralds set with diamonds, a bouquet of roses made of diamonds and emeralds completely cov ering the front of her bodice. Also a tiara, garniture and comb of emeralds and diamonds. This hit of jeweled orna ment is said to be worth over $30,000. II is a pecniiarity of Patti's that she will wear nothing in the way of decoration but what is absolutely real. The jewel box and jewels in ' Faust'' are her own, and the pearls are positively real. Her courier, whenever she sings, is on the stage, waits for uiadame iu tin wings and accompanies her from the stage to the dressing room—that is, when her careful husband. Signor Nicolini. i, not around. He is very careful of hi» precious wife, aud she is never on the stage but that he is au intent observer of everything that is going on. Patti's passion, of course, is her appear ance before the public. She is one of those creatures who, without the excite ment of public applause, could hardly exist. The applause of the public is positively meat and drink for her. There is no debutante more eager to know whether she has done well than is Patti at this day. Site comes off the stage smiling and pleased. Her eyes sparkle, and the first thing she asks her husband is: “Well, was that good? Listen how pleased they are.” On being reassured that she is the darling of the public's heart, she is in an ecstasy of pleasure, and for the next performance she is all the more eager to do her best. It is this wondet ful desire to be at her best that upholds her in her magnificent art. There are few people who have achieved the fortune, the fame and the great notoriety that Patti has who would deny themselves the many human priv ileges that she does merely to preserve her voice and to be able to maintain the matchless charm of her art. At every hotel where rooms are en gaged for herself special stipulation is made aud rooms selected for her servants as well. The price is never an object Mine. Patti and suite generally occupy about ten rooms and a parlor in every city in which she sings. She gives two concerts a week, and never travels on the day she sings. She requires perfect rest and refuses to speak to any one on the day of a concert.—Spare Moments. The Doctor and (fli Patient. Dr. P enjoys a very large practice, and hardly finds time to take ids much needed rest One day Dr. P , who had company to dinner, sat quietly chatting in a cor ner of the drawing room, when he was told that a patient had come to see him who was strongly recommended by some fellow practitioners. The doctor submitted with a bad grace and stepped into his surgery. Our physician was in the habit of as certaining the condition of the patient by asking him to count, and generally stopped him at thirty or thirty-five— quite long enough for the purpose. This time also Dr. P asked ids patient to count. Time passed on, and the guests began to feel alarmed at his protracted absence. One of them opened the sur gery door. Dr. P had gone to sleep in his armchair, and the patient bail counted up to 8,642.—Matin. Chinese Surgery. Like most things in China, the prac tice of surgery differs considerably from that in vogue in less enlightened west ern countries. Bone setting in the Ce lestial empire is a complicated affair, and doubtless much more efficacious than European methods. In setting a frac tured limb the surgeon does not attempt to bring the bones together, but merely wraps the limb in red clay, inserting some strips of bamboo into the clay These strips are swathed in bandages, and in the outer bandage the head of a live chicken is placed. Herj comes in the superior science of the Celestial. After the bandage has been secured the fowl Is beheaded and its blood is al lowed to MMtrate the fracture, for it limb and is i.”—London Hos- An Amendment Offered to the AAvtonnf m Women Lecturer. A few evenings ago a Boston woman journalist, who writes the essays about bookmarks, gluten bread, dress reform corsets and the like for the woman's column of a Sunday paper, read a lec ture to a parlor full of Harlem women. Her subject was “How to Bring Up Children.” One thing ihat she insisted on was that children .hould be (aught to “do things," to be prepared for emergencies. “For example,” said she, “I would teach a child what to do in case of a fainting fit. 1 say to my girls: “ 'Girls, I am not much of a hand at fainting, but if I do take a notion to faint some day when yon are about, get me some water. Pour it on my bead and face. Cold water, girls, not hot water.’ "I'm sure that if the unexpected comes, and I fall in a fainting fit some fine morning, the girls, if they happen to he near, will know what to do and will do it promptly.” "May I interrupt yon for a moment?" asked a little brown haired woman, who looked to be about fifty “Why, certainly," answered the lec turer. “Well, what I wish ip do,” said the brown haired woman, 'Is to take issue with you on tins proposition of yours that it is the proper thing to instruct children what to do to their mothers when they faint. On other points I have nothing to say Maybe you are right in the genera! proposition that children should be taught to do things, tmt as tc this matter I wish to utter a warning word, to offer an amendment, so to epeak. “1 used to think as yon do. 1 remem ber as well as can be how I used to tell my girls to do the very thing that you say you told yours to do. I thought as yon do. that it would be a shame to leave any person who should faint in the presence of my girls go without proper care. So 1 used to say: Remem ber, girls, to use water That’s the! thing when a baby faints.’ “Well, one day some one came to my i house and told me that a little hoy had ! Iieen hurt in the next yard. I was ul- most ill at the time, but just the same 1 rushed out to the scene. The little chap was badly hurt, and it took me quite awhile to get him in such a way that ' could safely leave him. But the tinn came at last, and I started for home. “When 1 was within about a rod of my own house 1 grew dizzy and saw stars and then fell in a heap in the gutter. “A couple of Irishmen picked mo up, each taking an arm, and dragged me np my front steps and laid me out on the piazza. Then they rang the bell and when my daughter Isabelle came to the door one of them pointed at me and said: “ ‘Good avenin, miss, an is that yer mother there, lyin all in a hape dead fainted away?’ “Isabelle gave one look and then called out to her two sisters, ‘Quick, girls, ma's fainted.’ “ ‘After that the deluge.’ Yes, that tells the story. Isabelle got the ice pitcher, Mary a foot tub and Kate a ter. quart tin pail. 1 consider it almost a miracle that I’m alive today. “Of course I’m telling ail this from hearsay. I didn’t know anything from the time that I fainted until I heard Kate frantically crying out: ‘Water! More water! Quick, Isalielle, more wa ter!’ and just after that one of the Irish men saying, ‘Be aisy, darlint, or ye’ll be after drownin yer onid mother!’ “Wet! Well, that doesn't begin to tell the story. I was soaked, ami great streams of water were running off the piazza and down the stairs. “ ’You did just right girls,’ 1 said as soon as 1 could speak. ‘You did just what your mother told you to do, hut don’t do it again.’ “Then 1 got down on my knees and wrung out my skirts as well as I could and while 1 was in that position I could hardly keep myself from saying. *Oh Lord, 1 thank thee that they didn't call out the fire department.’ “Now, I've taken np lots of your time, but I wished to make an amendment to your proposition. What 1 would pro pose is that every mother save her own self from the danger of drowning b’- saying to her girls when she bids the pour water on ‘fainters,’ Be sure my dear? to try the remedy for the fir-d time on somebody else than your own dear mamma."’—New York Times. Telling About It. An old lady is said to have been asked bow to tell good indigo. “Powder the indigo," said she, “sprinkle it upon cold water, and if it is good it will either fink or swim. I have forgotten which." It was the same with Aunt Charity's eggs. “Jest take a dozen of 'em—no, a half a dozen of 'em—no, it’s a dozen—well, raaly. I can’t say. hut it’s either a dozen or a half dozen—and you put ’em in a pailful—no. a half pailful—part full- no, it's a pad!ful—no—well, well, it’s either a pailful or a half pailful of water—and the good eggs will swim on top—no. the good eggs will sink to the bottom—no, that's not it— the good eggs will fwim—no, no, I delare, 1 don't raaly know, but, anyway, the good eggs will either sink oi swim.” -Housekeeper A Ludicrous Ad venture of • Party Hunt* log: Indians in Southwestern Mexico. The Bravery ef a Leader Drought Rid icule Upon H mself. “Haiti Wha 'e tliat^ said our leader in a sharp whis <er. It was a clear moonlight night in the extreme sonthv est of Mexico. I was visiting a friend who conducted a large ranch ai d hacienda there. A local revolt had just been quelled in the neighborhoH d and a spirit of lawless ness still pervad xl the atmosphere. Only the night befo e my friend hud been fired upon an< one of his storehouses robbed by a hat. 1 of Indiatts some fifteen or twenty stron . Early in the morning four Of us, und> r the leadership of our host, had set c it upon the track of the robbers. We were we! I mounted, and resting only a few hour i at toon had followed hard after then! till nearly midnight. If we met them u a fair field we coaid drive them into quarters like cows to a pen, but we ha I no mind to run into a trap in ' the da: k with five against fif teen; hence can ion. “Halt! What s that?” our leader had whispered. W. had come to the edge if a dense wo da, and across an open tpace, upon the orow of a low sand hill, clearly outlined n the moonlight against the sky, we had discovered a dozen or more half nak rd fellows, with their arms extended in every direction, en gaged in some s >rt of a weird, fantastic lance. We could not see their legs, for the tops of the tre« s beyond the hill rose waist high, mal ng a black background, hut their arms r roved slowly to and fro and we conld e sily Imagine their legs keeping com par y. "Those are tli thieves!” our host mut tered. “I knot • them, even at night. You fellows jus come to the edge of the wood, where tb ;y can see you without knowing hov r any there are of yon, and I'll have t rem down here in no time.” He rode oat a one to the foot of the hill. It required m little courage, and we watched him wi h proportionate admira tion. The figures di 1 not cease their dance or notice him. Suddenly, with his rifle at his shoulder he called to them: “I have you there! If one of you moves I'll shoot him dr id!” The wind hai been blowing through the trees, so tl at we could not have heard their resp .rise, but fortunately at that moment it ceased, and in the deep silence which retried down upon the forest in such a momentary lull we waited for the r suit. Every Indian suddenly ('eased his dancing and sto >d like a statue outlined against the sky. “Come down rere now,” shouted our host. “Come quietly, too, for the first man who makes iny trouble drops dead.” Wecould hear a sound, as of a hurried consultation of r ime sort, going on upon the hill for a uoment, but the wind sprung np aga: u before we conld dis tinguish a siugh voice, and to our utter astonishment th i fellows actually began their solemn da: ce again. “Come down i r I’ll shoot!” roared onr host, but they k< pt on dancing and he did shoot. Then there v is commotion enough. A wild cry, folk wed by a cloud of dust, rose from the hr >w of the hill. "Fire!” yelled our host, and we re sponded with a .’ell aimed volley, while he whipped out iis heavy revolver and gave them anotl er peppering. There was a pi rfect bedlam of screams from the hill, ai 1 1 the dust hid every thing from view They were either com ing down npor ns In an unexpected horde or runnin; for their lives. For us it was ( ither fly or follow. We waited irresoluh ly for the word of our leader, when th» dust settled and there stood the Indian , silently going on with their fantastic d nee ns though we were a hundred miles away. With a fierce i jacnlation our host put spurs to his hoi se and dashed np the hill. We followed, without command, to find him upo: the summit, sitting on the ground bene th a line of gaunt and ghostlike prick! • pears—the ungainly cactus of Mexici . They extended along the brow of the hill, their naki d, skeleton branches spreading ont i i every unaccountable way and swayin; solemnly in the breeze.

His Idea. A famous Brooklyn clergyman was once addressing a Sunday school on the lesson of tlie day, which happened to be “Jacob’s Ladder.” He got along swimmingly until a little urchin in oue of the back seats squeaked out, “Why did the angels have to have a ladder when they had wings?” After the inevitable laugh had sulwided the clergyman said. “Well, that is a fair question; who can answer it?” There was a pause, anil then up went a pudgy fiat “Well, my little man,” asked the clergy man, “why was it?” “I guess tirebbe they was a-moltin,” was the astonishing reply, aud the address was concluded right them^-N’ew York Trib IK. ' Riiftftir n Discipline.

Look sharp!” Tears glistened in the aoldier's eyes; he gazed earneat! y and prayerfully at his commander, tun ed suddenly about and rushed off to tl t lake.

The following remarkable yam Is told by a Gardiner (Me.) sportsman: He was •hooting on a very cold day, and just as he was about to return home he was confront sd by a big catamount. While loading his gun he found, after be had put the powder In, that he had no bullets. Beads of per spiration stood oot on his face ami froze like hailstones as they dropped to the ground. Scooping up a handful hedropped them into his gun, but the barrel being hot they melted. He fired, however, ami a stream of water that issued forth was frozen instantly into an icicle, which pene trated the brain of the catamount.—New York Sun. f st.n*» tlcii Msoasl A 3ate< county farmer taw a bolt of lightning strike in ths renter of one of his fields, and being curious to see the effects of the stroke visited the spot He found the •ubtle fluid had left its mark in the shape of »n enormous ‘D'' of an angry red color, and had no doub? that it was the .ign manual of the arch fiend himself.—Kansas City Journal Had No Opportunity.

There was a limp aud creHtfallen young man behind that counter about that time, and he looked so dejected that the good woman took pity on him and selected a fan to suit herself—A process that deepened the chagrin of the know-it-all clerk, for she bought the finest fan he had, saying it was for her daughter’s wedding.

Property Among Ants nnd Bees. Tire collective system of property must have lasted among ants and bees for many thousands of years, for, apart from cases of demoralization each as may, for example, be produced among bees by giving tbrnr a taste for drunk enness, these intelligent insects show the most absolute deference aud devo tion to social property. Their primi tive selfishness has broadened ont into a collective or patriotic egoism. But these very social species, with their more than Christian charity, have not reached this high degree of civilization at one bound. In the ant and bee worlds, as in our own, there are sav ages. There are still at the present time certain species of ants ignorant of the division of labor carried so far among their civilized congeners.— “Property: Its Origin and Develop ment.” Bucklen's Arnica Salve.
