Hyde Park House, one of the most! sumptuous mansions in London, whose mahogany has often been graced by royalty, even to the presence of th king himself, is not only an architec tural marvel but one of the most, re markable art treasure houses in Eng land.

From time to time rumors have been current that the captive bird had se lected another mate and that she was prepared to relinquish her magnificent home to become the bride of some new and distinguished suitor, but thus far the rumors have come to naueht. Possi bly the temptation of retaining her beautiful home is greater than any de voted admirer can offer, for it Is doubt ful if she would ever again be mistress of such a superb establishment. This home, known as Hyde Park House,' situated near the Albert Gate, amid some cf the most notable of the London town residences, is sheltering more distinguished Americans at the present time than perhaps any other mansion in London. The house is a large gray stone struc ture, the great central porch, over which is the conservatory, jutting out intn the K.-ml-circntar innmh anA i lending suitable dicnitv to the hnze 1 building. The entrance to the house is a lofty outer hall of marble over the fireplace of which is a wonderful panel of Delia Rubbia faence. once presumably an al tar piece surrounded by bas reliefs in marble and bronze and fine statues. The wide marble steps which lead up from this hall to the top of the house present a most imposing appearance, being gtiarded by lions cottehant on either side. With one or two excep tions this Is believed to be the most imposing staircase in England. Those at Dorchester and Chesterfield houses are said to rival it. there is one on the continent and possibly one at the Grand Opera house in Paris which may also be considered m the same class. The stairway is of richly white mar ble, with balustrade of finely wrought bronze, and hand rails of burnished brass. Half way up is a marble landing where the staircase branches from right to left, leading to a marble-paved gal lery above. I'pon this landing, midway up the staircase, one sees, upon walking up, I PULLED THE BULL PTJP'S TAIL. Seedy Man Surprised Everybody by Stopping a Dog Fight , The bull pup that was going away to the country with the young man In the checked Rtrit and the irascible little fox teir'er that was taking the nice-looking young woman In the yeilow silk dust cloak to the seashore had disagreed In the plat.lon, and were tangled up in a whirling cloud of dust and dog hair. The check-suited young roan was making wild but ineffectual attempts to throttle his own pet, and the nice-looking young woman with hands uplifted was walling for a policeman to come and club the brute who was killing "deer Foxy." The other women pas sengers were fleeing, and the men were suggesting in turn snuff, pepper, a pail of water, and other things equally un available at the moment to break the bull pup's hold. From somewhere there appeared a square-Jawed, seedy-looking person, chewing a strsw. and he took com mand of the situation. With one sweep of his arm he moved aside the check suited young man. with a swift grab with the other hand seized the bulldog's collar and tucked him, head downward, under the other arm. The fo terrier, loudly proclaiming that he had had enough, hung In the air, wildly clawing at the seedy man's legs. Not a sound came from the bull, and cot a muscle of bis jaw relaxed. The seedy man seized bis tail. Then, with a smothered yelp, the bull pup opened his mouth, The terrier fell, gathered himself to gether, and fled to the shelter of his mistress' skirts. The bulldog, turning an Inquiring eye apparently more In Borrow than In anger, upon the seedy some exquisite pieces of strmnry are ben plain. Col.

A second cabinet which was made for the Medicis Is formed of ebony columns of rock-crystal and lapls-lazull with incrustation of gold figures. This cabinet is attributed to Benvenato Cellini.

Everybody had gone skating, it ap peared, but discerned no connection be tween that exercise and dog fighting. "Ever sit down, sudden like, on the Ic nn' wonder why you see so many stars?" pursued the seedy man. It seemed that everybody had had that experience, too. "Well," continued the seedy man, "there you are.

Chicago Inter Ocean: "A new in dustry has grown up in this courtry in the last few drtys," s:id a down town jeweler. "It Is the treatment ana setting of crystals and minerals partly es imitations of real precious stones and partly as t.rt objects and orna ments which do not pretend to ba any other thin they are simply pretty things. The exteiit of this industry and the success of its products can hardly bo realised try- any oneoutide the jeweiry'trade. "Chemistry plays an Important part In the Industry. It i3 remarkable what beautiful effects can be secured with a bit of quartz by a chemist ho has studied tiiia phase of mineralogy. "There is, for itmtacce. the so-called golden opal, which is not an opal at ail. It is made by boiling chalcedony, which is merely a species of quartz, in honey, then in a solution of chromate. of lead, and finally baking it. in hydro chloric acid and kept at a moderate heat for a frw weeks. "In the same way deep red carnelians are produced by skillfully burning the pnie or dull chalcedonies. Black agate, popular for mourning jewelry, is made by fimrlar methods. "Other colors and stripes are obtain ed by boiling chalcedony in such f ' lutions as blood and water, and aftre it has absorbed these boiling it in sul phuric acid. "Agates are easily converter! into onyx-like substances which lapidaries use for cameos and intaglios. Any col ored onyx can be obtained by simple chemical processes. In fa-t. modern chemistry h:s produced changes in stones and minerals that it ta possible to imitate many of them and improve all but a very few, "Not. only can the whole stone be made to change its color, but f-ctlnns and !lns of it can he made to o-snme red, black, yellow, or white tune, while tire rest stays pure white or black. "Rock crysial, which is simply pure quartz, is employ d to a much greater extent than ever before for imitating diamonds and other greciouH stoner.. These can be cut. and polished to al most a rich a brillisncy as the r )i stones, though, of course, they son iose their :.. r and must be rent to regain it. "Agate Is used in many different ways for ornamenting trinket. Small but. berr.ut.iful amethysts are found iu Pennsylvania. Maine and North Caro lina, and in Wyoming are large mcF-r'tt of no;w agates. "in fact, chemistry applied to com paratively cheap minerals and skillful treatment of them have made it p-tKsi-!t!e fur people far from wealthy to jos rsk excellent imitations of jewels which themselves are almost price less."

An uptown reader tells of the "brf ak" made by a tot of the family who was one of a party of little girls at a recent Ftrawborry fpsflvai in the vicinity of her home. Fhe had been valiantly glorious and Ingenuous discourses of belonging to her family, and had man aged to hold her own against the vain glorious and ingenuious discourses of her companions. They had gone from clothes to personal appearances, then to interior furnishings, then to the number of tons of coal consumed In the home of earh during the last win ter, and finally brought up at. parental dignity. The minister's little girl boasted: "Every package that coaiea for my papa Is marked 'D IV " 'An' every package that conies for my papi is marked 'M. D.,' " retorted the daughter of a psyslclan of the neigh borhood. Then came a fine snort of contempt from the heroine of this anecdote. "Huh!" she exclaimed, "every package that comes to our house Is marked 'C. O. D.' There now!" Recent discussion as to the proper pronnunciation of certain oBer words has led a London newspaper to Inquire how the Boers themselves pronounce the nam" of Dewet. Delarey, Ilotha, Steyn red Iyds. If Doer usage is to prevail Dewet is Devet, Delarey has the accent on the last syllable, just ai De La Rue; Rotha Is Bola, with the accent on the first syllable; Steyn and Ieyds are "Stain" and "Lalds," respectively.

'Copyright, 1901, by Authors' Syndic-it, i,; HIS is the story of a nan who was miserable till he was married, and then his unhappiness paused into the compart I ve degre". Seven years had Frank Jennings wooed his Itachel, and though in the end he married lier, yet ae Jut.r ,A.I SB our :i doubted whether he had won her heart, it was undeniably tru' that his caresses were distasteful to her. and that si e tolerated with bare prjljienerrs the slightest expression of effection bc- tore outers. Why did she marry him? There were critics unkind enough to say the cause might have been found in the loneli ness of her environment. In Khort, she was 2fi; the fairy prince site might have welcomed never came riding to her door; Jennings was a rising lawyer and could give her the opportunities her soul craved. Therefore she married. It vae unfortunate that Jennings' lack of savoir faire took the form it did, for in other directions he was a man of force. The world recognized that, a career lay before him. and because siic cef s cotnnirin-is success he was begin ning of find every day new chances of promotion. In every direction but thr one he had "arrived" very fast during the past year, but he confessed to him self with a toticti of aespalr that he could not meit by his devoted attentions his wife's cool matter-of-fact indiffer ence of manner toward him. Indeed, he suspected that his very thoughtful ries often bored this domestic marble statue of his. Frank Jennings got his big inspira tion cn night when they were at the theater. The play was "The Taming of the Shrew," with Ada Rehan In the ti tle role. It struck Jennings forcibly that the handsome, well-gowned, cool eyed young woman by his side had de eded points of resemblance to Shake speare's heroine, and he wondered If she did not need a course of Petruchio revised to meet the needs of a 20th cen tury standard. He resolved that he would play the rioting husband no longer. And so It happened that when he had seen her safe home after the play he to!d her negligently that he was go ing to run on to the club. She looked a little surprised, but assented care lessly enough. Jennings didn't find the club very amusing, but he was not the man to give up a thing he had set his will upon. Next evening he an nounced an engagement with a college j classmate. He did not get home all night, and next day he telephoned that he would be detained til! late on busi ness. On Saturday afternoon he went on a long wheeling jaunt with his law partner, and returned home weary enough to sleep 'round the clock, so that again Rachel hnri the h-rself. She was a very angry young woman. His attentions might "be quite a matter-of-course- to her. but she de cidedly objected tofhlBoffh'ind neglect of her. She had been much sought af ter before her marriage, and her pride was in arms. Hut that fame pride of hers prevented any intimation to her husband that she felt aggrieved and her ex-slave went his way smilingly in ap parent unconsciousness of any neglect. He was no longer fond and "xot itig, but as jauntily Indifferent as one cotild'well be. To judge from his manner he could not have told the color of (he lady's eyes, and yet he was so interest ing and gay that the change In him challenged her admiration and her plqne. She resented his genial aloof ness, and at the same time she found herself somehow fascinated by it. A woman likes to know that thpre are re cesses and reserves about her lover that she has never penetrated. Her interest is fctlmulated by the hint of mvstry. Hachel Jennings thought more about her husband in the next few days than she , ad before for many years. "If he had courted me in this wav he would long ago have carried me off my feet," she thought, ruefully, "I wonder what has eome over him. He is suddenly transformed from a com monplace domestic fixture into an in teresting study. But I'll show him he can't break away without a by-your-leave." . . She got herself up In the most fetch ing way, did ths modern Delilah. Nev er siren sang more bewitching songs than did she to her lord and master. Never did more appealing eyes lure coy man by the flashing light that lay In them. But all In vain. He was ge nial enough, a good comrade in an aloof way. but plainly unconscious of her lit tle wiles. She began to think that "men are April when they woo, Decem ber when they wed," A lurking dread clutched at ber heart, the fear that she lost her power over him Just when she kitwa Suo i qfnojoj uo)OAop nq jo K iom-iuj at t, -j) scossod o ifiout pajua rose lief ore her to terrify Hachel with his present unconcern. She was con scious of it little heartache growing daily more pronounced. It was about this lime that Jennings was nomlnnted f-r congress by the pro grewdve element of his part y, which happened to be in control. One even ins hie wife met him at the coor with iirrgnt. shining eyes, from whlra the tears were not far distant. She held a daily paper in her hand. "Is it true, Frank?" she demanded. "I don't know," he answered, laugh ing. "If you saw it in the paper it probably Isn't" "You know what 1 mean. Is it true that you were nominated for congress day ft fore yesterday?" she cried, "Oh, yes. That's true enough." He stifled a yawn behind his hand. "And you never told me. Why not?" "Oh, I don't know. I suppose I for got. Didn't think you would be inter ested. I ought to have mentioned it, but you see I've ben busy ." ?he went, raging to her bedroom in a tempest cf tears. It was quite clear he did not iove her any more, or he could not treat her so. Fhe was the most miserable woman alive, and she hated Frank Jennings with the good hate that b a prelude to love. A wok before Jennings would have followed her with abject apologies, but now he quietly strolled down to the club smoking a cl-ar. The Impulse was strong in him to comfort her and he done with it. but his good sense rallied in time to prevent him from surrendering. His heart cried out. for a reconciliation, but the strong will 1 eid b!m to the course he had mapped ou:. On the very next day Rachel met her husband down-town in company with a very pretty, weil-dressed girl. They w-cre having a mc-ry time together, ex changing gay banter and repartee with rin'eh spirit. They turned into a res taurant without seeing Itachel, and that young woman went home with much bitterness of spirit to indulge in anoth er weeping tlm". It was all glaring tk-ar to her now. Doubtless 'ills other girl, with the big brown, lustrous eyes and the waving hair had won h'er hu-eri-.il's love from her. She resolved to g- to her mother for advice and com i'jrt, an she had done when a girl. And so it happened that when .Ten nlitgp reached home he found the floor la.i e.i with variotm art ivies of fesiin- dress, end his wife buried In the truk t h" was packing. He picked ills vav b cross to her and stood by her side. "Spring houseeleaning in trie win ter?" h" t-:;ked. Site turned on him with a face swol len with weeping. "I'm going home to mother, Frank." "Ind'-edi May I ask why you have ("eclderi to go so hurriedly?" ' Because yon don't bvc me any more, and ! saw you down down town with that other woman at luncheon." "She is the sister of my part in -, Itob b' rts, . nnd hail Just come in on th train. He had to appear in court tied c ,i;!t! not meet her till afterward. Of course, 1 volunteered to bring her tin. Any more counts tn the indictment?" he asked coldly. She rose and filing herself sobbing on his brrast. burying ber face In his coat. "You do-don't love me any more." "Don't I?" "No You never kt-klss me." "f hadn't noticed. You told me it was silly, so I got out of the way of it, I suppose." Jennings' heart was singing love songs In a rapture, but his face was wooden. "And you never spend an evening at home now at least scarcely ever." "I'm pretty bust about this congres sional nomination. Besides, we're old married people now, as you once said, very sensibly, and not lovers to spend our time in such idiocy as billing and cooing." "But I don't want to be old mar ried folks; 1 want to be lovers Just like you used to be." said tbe small voice out of the coat, getting its gram matical persons very much mixed. "Piut it's so foolish. Don't you re member you said that ?" She stamped her foot. "No, I don't remember. What does It matter if I said some crazy thing. That doesn't make it gospel truth, does it?" Then in a pathetic whisper that Just, reached him: "Don't you love me at all, Frank, anv more?" The things that Frank said and the things that Frank did are too foolish to be mentioned in detail. DOCTORING BY TELEPHONE. The Metaphysical QtiRndarv as to Pay That is Involved. Philadelphia M;dlca! Journal: We heard a doctor complain recently that one of his patients, In order, presum ably, to save his time, sometimes called him to give advice about the baby. The good dame would sit at the other end of the -vire, pencil In hand, and ask the iiufoitutinte doctor to dictate his in t ructions while nhe took them down. This continued tint il one day aiie askcrr him to dictate his presclptlor. At this he rebeled. He was willing to take the baby's temperature and pulse by tel ephone, and even to inspect the char aster of the dejections; be was even willing to tell all he knew about babies In general and about that baby in par ticular; he did not even object for a while to give the lady the full benefit of a professional call and charge it as an office visit; but his conscience smote him when it came to dictating a Latin prescription by telephone and having the thrlfty-mlndeirtsewife sign his name to it before her own Initials. Some physicians should write a chap ter on the medical ethics of the tele phone. We would do it ourselves If we felt capable. There are two sides to the question, 'ihe patient sometimes gets the belter of the doctor and saves a fee, but the doctor sometimes gets the better of the patient and saves him self a lot of trouble. It la obvious in either case the patient should pay for It. But the question arises, what shotdd he pay? Is It an office visit or a house visit? The advice I given in the of fice, but it Is received In the house. This Is somewhat of a metaphlslcal quan dary.. Should a doctor charge an office fee for gH'Ing advice that goes straight to the patient's bedside? On the other hand, should a patient be obliged to pay a house fee for advice which a doctor gives sitting comfortably in his office? The problem Is full of difficulties, per haps It would be best to call It half-and-half, and charge accordingly.
