Kidney diseases may be prevented by purifying, renewing, and invigorating the blood with Ayer'a Sarsaparilla. 'When, through debility, tho action oJ the kidneys Is perverted, these organs rob tho blood of its needed constituent, albumen, which it passed off in the urine, while worn out matter, which they should carry off from the blood, is allowed to remain. By the use of Ayer's Sarsaparilla, the kidneys arc restored to proper action, and Albu minuria, or Bright' s Disease is prevented. Ayer's Sarsaparilla alo prevents inflammation of ths kidneys, and other disorders of these organs. Mrs. Jas. W. Weld, Forest inn st., Jamaica Plain, Mass., write-; : I !i.n e had a complica tion of diseases, but my greatest trouble has been with my kidneys. Four bottles of Ayer's Sarsaparilla made ma feel like a new person; as well and strong as ever." W. M. McDonald, 48 Summer St., Boston, Mass., had been troubled for years ' with Kidney Complaint. By the use of Ayer'f Sarsaparilla, he not only Prevented the disease from assuming a fatal form, but was restored to perfect health. John McLellan, cor. Bridge and Third sts., Lowell, Mass., writes: "For several years I suffered from Dyspepsia and Kidney Complaint, the latter being so severe at times that I could scarcely attend to my work.

The Generous Conduct of a Good and Brave Girl. 'That w all that you wished to say to me, aunt?" "That is all that I wished to say to you," th elder lady repeated, with slight sarca.Mii, and Edwina felt herself tli ere wi tli dismissed. She went out of the room and down the long staircase, feeling fctrangcly weak and helpless. Some one came dancing in off the piazza, for this was their summer home at Broonificld. Edwina knew it must be Kitty; but Edwina could hardly see. Her eyos were still blinded by the weak ncss that had settled upon her while her aunt was speaking. She did not call to her cousin, as she might have done an Lour before; she did not look at her. She did not wish to see any one just now Kitty least of all. But Kitty, halting, saluted her with a blithe "Neddie, my love. stop a bit; I want to tell you some thing funny." There was little similarity in their ap pearance. They were both fair; but Edwina was out-and-out a Clay, tall, slender, pale and reserved, while Miss Carmichaol had few, if any, of the characteristics of her mother's family. Plump and sandy was Kitty, a trifle freckled, with bewitching dimples, a saucy mouth and divine Irish-gray eyes. By nature she was as rollicking and im petuous as her late father. Colonel Car michacl, whom her grandfather Clay had nover forgiven for running away with his youngest daughter. Kitty's paternal inheritance of good looks and good nature had been greatly to her ad vantage in a worldly sense. She had this, and this only, to blame for the manner in which her grandfather had treated her in his will. The old gentle man had died something over a year previous, leaving the bulk of his large fortune to Edwina, "only child of his late .xmi Edwin." while to Kitty he had left onlj a miserAblu little .stipend, barely enough to support her. Grandfather Clay had never been reconciled to Char lotte, his youngest daughter. aitry had borne her ill-luck with philosophical good humor, and con tinued to reside, as previously, with her maiden snnt and cousin, for both girls were orphaned those many years. Ed wina was generous and had thought the will unjust "Never mind. Kitty," she had said, 'you shall have a dowry when you tnarry; meanwhile I want to arrange you a little extra pin-money." "Down- is all right," said Kitty, "but never mind the pin-monov." And it was with difficulty that Miss Clay could prevail on the proud little creature to accept what w by rights only her own. But Mis Caimichael's thoughts were far enot'gh from the subject of unjust wills as she haiied her cousin there on the staircase. Edwina descended the remaining Btcp?, looking paler than uiial. "What i;. it?" she asked, slowly. But Kitfs -harp eye. noted some thing amiss. "Neddie, the cried, "what is up?" "Nothing," said Edwina, faintlv. I don t feel quit- well. Jhine has been talking to will lie down awhile." Aunt Jose 111c; I think "H'm! if aunt has been talking to you 1 should uppose you'd need to lie down and rest," said Miss Carmichael, drily. "I'll see you again by and by, Ned." And she turned like a young equirrel and whisked herself out'again into the open air. Edwina entered the drawing-room and threw hefself upon the sofa. It was dark and quiet, aad no one would interrupt her there. She would .have a chance to think over what her aunt had been saying. Suppose it were authen tic, the will that her aunt had discovered that very morning in its strange hiding place, the oW clock? And her annt seemed to think it authentic. "I thought it best to tell you at once Ed wina," she had said. "I will not show you the will; I have reasons. But it is certainly your grandfather's handwrit ing, witnessed by the Bateses, lather and son, who called here a week before father died, and sailed a day or two later for Europe. They have been abroad ever since, you remember. There is another tiling: Your grand father, just before he died, spoke Kitty's name and then 'the clock!' We thought only the clock should be hers. I can not tell why I should have been impelled to open that clock this morning. Edwina, if this should be if this calam ity should fall upon you, and I cannot help regarding it a a calamity, I do not consider myserf wanting in affection for my sister's daughter, as well as my brother's, but Kitty is so different, o little a Clay if thi6 calamity 6hould fall you shall share all that I possess, of course. But meanwhile your wedding is set for October; this is the last of August I do not for a moment suppose that your loss of fortune would affect yotrr betrothed himself, bat his family. They are very proud, very am bitious; they'may be 'even mercenary. Edwina, I have replaced the paper in the clock, and spoken to no one of finding it. Suppose we leave it so until after your wedding. You need not decide at once; think about it awhile. This, however, is my advice." Edwina went carefully over her aant's communication. Suppose it were true? Suppose her Grandfather Clav, in some strange, sudden remorse, had done this thing? She remembered the. last week of his life. He had been speechless nearly all that week, and taken little notice of anything or any one. ft was quite possible that he had turned about and written the few words necessary to revoke all former wills and leave every thing to Kitty Carmichael. Yet why should he have turned from one injustice to another? She asked herself bitterly why he could not have divided his for tune fairly, providing for both grand daughters alike. Edwina was far from avaricious. Had she been quite her own mistress had there not been Aunt Josephine to disap prove, as well as other complications she would long since, of her own free will, have made over half her inheri tance to her cousin. But now, to have everything swept away! It was a crash ing, humiliating prospect With Fred erick Montgomery, her affianced bus band, it would probably make no differ ence;, but with his family? Her aunt's suggestion was forcible, appalling! With all her faith in her lover, Edwina had not lived twenty years and over and es caped knowledge that a man's family' may clutch and control him with tea times the ease with which they could control a daughter or a sister. Edwina was strongly conscious mat her father would never have been gailty ss? a run away matea, as had been her Aat Charlotte, the mother of Kitty. In all such love matters wemea are infinitely stronger, tenderer and more faithful than are men, and Edwina, knowing thin, could not measure her lover by her own heart. Edwina lay there for an hour or more. Consider the matter as she might, there seemed no relief, no solution. She sat up at length with her head throbbing and her face on fire. The afternoon was slipping away. She heard the clock strike five. She arose and went out on the piazea. Kitty was reading in a ham mock on the lawn. She descended and came toward the house. "Have you been asleep, Ned?" she asked. "Your face is flushed. I'll ran and get you a fan." "No," said Edwina, a little sharply; then, "No, don't, dear; I really don't feel warm. What book were you read ing?" "The most exciting affair I could find, of course. Neddie, I wish you'd begin to rush your wedding preparations a little, I shall perish of dullness here." Edwina moved uneasily. Suppose there should be no wedding because of her altered fortunes? But Kitty ran on blithely enough: "I've a notion to marry it doesn't make very much difference whom, you know. I have begun to think I ought to marry somebody anybody that's nice and 'good-natured and will take me about the world. You'll be gone in a month or so, and I will be left to Aunt Josephine's mercy." Kitty made a little grimace; she was sitting on the steps, while Edwina occupied a rustic chair above. "I don't see," she ended up, "how I shall exist, Ned, when you are married off." Edwina answered with vague bitter ness: "Perhaps something will happen to alter things." Kitty puckered up her brows. "Alter things? I'd like to have a hand at that But there's no danger I've a precious mind to marry Phil. Fortcsque. He's not as fine a lover as your Frederick, but " Edwina could endure no more. "I think I will go in; it is time to dre.s for dinner," she said wearily. She did not go at once to hor own room. She passed her aunt's door and went towards the chamber in which her grandfather had died, and where the clock stood in which tile paper had been found that morning. She wondered how her aunt had come to enter that chamber. It was usually kept locked; all things remained as at her grand father's death. She turned the knob softly, impelled bv uncanny fascination. The door was locked, as u&uaL Edwina now retraced her steps and sought her own room, where she threw herself upon the bed and covered her face. Miss Josephine Clay and Miss Kittie Carmichael dined tete-a-tete that even ing, and Edwina was absent She was not well was the word she sent down; they might send her a cup of tea, please. It was a considerable battle that the girl was fighting out alone. Every thin seemed against her. She plainly reai her aunt's wish that nothing be said un til after her marriage. She admitted her aunt's apprehension as to Frederick Montgomery's family U be well grounded. She conceded tat Kitty would be practically as well off in re ceivins: her ereat fortune a month or two later as in receiving it now. But on the other hand, truth, honor! Did not these demand the instant wresting of that paper from ite hiding place in the silent chamber yonder? Did not right demand that not an hour passed without Kitty Carmichael knowing her true position? Edwina was fighting out a battle. Thank heaven she had courage to look in the face of all possibilities, depriva tion, mortification, even the breaking off of the marriage, even wreck and everlasting ruin. The room was dark now, she had not lighted the gas. The house was still, save that Kitty was playing dance .mu sic in the drawing-room, playing softly, not to disturb her cousin. Edwina stood upon her feet once more. She opened the door and stag- fered out into the hall. She knew that er aunt had come up stairs. She went slowly toward the tatter's room and rapped sharply. Edwina's entrance was unsteady. "I have come to speak to" you, about I that t!io nlkw Brill " .Wi om(A ml xnr. t WUA u, IW BAM Ml UUUC. "I I have -made up my mind that Kitty should know of it directly. There is no reason for for delay." Miss Josephine replied with cold dis approbation: "I think we found severalreasons when speaking of it this afternoon." There was a moment's silence. Ed wina could still hear Kitty playing softly in the drawing-room tjelow. Then she spoke again, a little hoarsely: "However that may be, I hare de cided. I have -taken time to consider well; I have looked everything in the face, and I I ebuMaot sleep to-night with this upon my mind. WiU you give me the key to grandfather's room, that I may go for the paper? 1 he eld Ider lady regarded her incredu- lousrv. "You can hardly be m earnest, Ed wina?" "I am shoroaghly isa earnest." said Edwina, in a clearer voice. "Will yoa please let me have the key?" Miss Josephine day had risen to her feet; a certain wild look was npoa her face a look tha only came there in ex treme anger a look that at any time previous would have caused her niece to tremble. But Edwina returned her gase without flinching. The. elder Istfy'rhMd-rtipped slowly into Hkt pocket js3 si$w)y. aat-again. One slim arm reached oat disdainfully. The key dropped, apoatha.carjpet be tween the tw women. Edwina stooped andpicked it up. T "Thank 70c' abe said, Miss Josephine answered with a cold ness more bitter than any threat: "Go your own way. Bat, by and by, expect no sympathy from me!" Edwina flew from the room. S seemed to her she must make haste, lest later she should lose the strength now buoying her up. With shaking! hands she unlocked the door of that si lent chamber. The light from the hatt made objects sufficiently distinct A moment later her trembling fingers had closed upon the paper. She elosed tin lock, came out of the room, and, n locking the door, ran to the balusters. "Kitty. Kitty!" she cried out. despe rately; "come up here -quickly." There was a strange ring in her voice not excitement, but exultation. Vic tory! victory! The battle nearly ended! Kitty came-rushing up the stair-case with amazed eyes. "Come into aunt's room," said Ed wina, less steadily. Now that all was over, perhaps would come reaction. "Kitty." ssid Edwina, "aunt has found this in the clock that grandfather left you. You are the one most inter estedand I congratulate you!" Kitty received the document calmly. "Pull up, Ned, pull up! You are aw fully excited." And then she read it alsud. "Gracious goodness!" she exclaimed, when she began to comprehend. "You don't suppose that is good for any thing." She had turned to Miss Joseph ine, Dut the latter sat silent and impas sive. "Yes," said Edwina. "It is certainly Srandfather's latest will. You see the ate and the witnesses. It it will change everything; of coiii'm: yon are the heiress, Kitty; you have been kept out of your rights too long. It it may be oh, well; whatever happens will be for the best, I trust" "Bah!" said Kitty. "And what do you suppose the Montgomery's will sav?" Edwina drew a little sobbing breath and made no answer. But Miss Carmichael turned sharply at another sound. Miss Josephine Clay had stirred and emitted something like a niff of con temptuous pleasure. "Sit down, Edwina," said her cousin, pushing her into a chair. She went over to the mantel then, did Miss Car michael, and stood where the light from an unglobed bracket made the writing on the paper more legible. She spoke again presently: "There is just one thing about it Grandfather with due respect to his memory was altogether too cranky at will making. You needn't frown at me. Aunt Josephine. This has always been my opinion. While everything was Ned s I kept it to mvself, but now that everything is mine, 1 don't hesitate to speak it out' aloud. I say, he was cranky. He might have divided things like a sensible man. As for this bit of writing, I'm too fond of Neddie to spoil her affairs; so. here goes." "Kitty!" Edwina sprang to her feet with a startled cry, for the girl had thrust the paper into the blaze of the gas. Miss Josephine sat as one stricken dumb. "Oh, Kitty!" That was all her cous in could say. The charred fragments fell and were scattered over the mantel, and Miss Carmichael walked noncha- lently away from them. "What in the world such responsibilities?" "I'd want to divide about all." would I do with she inquired. with you, that's Tears were flowing down Edwina's cheeks. "Kitty,''shesaid, "the division will be made to-morrow. I ought to have done so sooner; indeed I would, but for " she broke off; Kitty had glanced .signifi cantly at their aunt She evidently un derstood. Edwina kept her word and all went well. The marriage was not interrupt ed. Moreover, Kitty herself was short ly after betrothed to Phil Fortcsque, who had always adored her. Lilly Cur ry, in Xcw York Mercury. amAteur artists. Fair Hands Finding Employment for Idle Moments at the Kanel. "The craze just now among the young ladies is for painting," said a society man to a reporter. "All the art schools are full to overflowing with pupils, and young ladies who are unable to attend them are either taking private lessons or endeavoring to become accomplished in this line of work through the medium of books of instruction and patient, in dustrious J ractice at home. The art department of the Cooper Institute never was so crowded as now, and a vacancy there does not look probable for from two to three j-car to come. In a large number of the schools, so great has be come the interest in tbe art, professional artists are taking part as instructors. The regular technical schools connected with the Metropolitan Museum and the Academy of Design have both become of increased importance and attract large attendance, ' said a representative of a large Fulton .street iirm, dealing in art materials, to the reporter. "The craze is particularly noticeable for painting in oil on brass, silk, velvet plush, china, tapestry, etc. A set of artist's materials in oil costs from six to ten dollars, and while the work is so de cidedly the fashion a great many young ladies earn considerable pin-money by what they paint, selling their work to dealers in fancy articles. Lustra paint ing is just now quite the thing. Lately we have sold one thousand sets of lustra paints, and the demand for them is in creasing every day. The designs chiefly painted are flowers, fruit and Dirds, and they are especially satisfactory on velvet or plush. These lustra colors are not regular paints, but are metallic colors. and on velvet or satin they give a very brilliant effect more so man tube paints. A set costs three dollars and fifty cents. It is quite the fashion to paint with them on portieres. Only yesterday a lady was in here with a pair of portieres which she had painted that were worth fully seventy-five dol lars. The rage is especially for deco rating room ornaments, such as plac ques, vases and Limoges ware, the lat ter of which, when painted in oil, has the full effect of the imported ware and at one-third the cost. A new thing in this line are reliefs of models. The are made in France, of white cardboard, and include heads, figures, flowers and in fact every design for the student in modeling. Their advantage lies in the small expense, saving the buying oi casts, and that they do not break. We can not get them fast enough, and to day we had an order by telegraph foi one hundred sets, which we can't sup ply." A1 T. Mail and Etpress.

A visitor to the great chins manufac tories at Stoke-on-Trent describes as fol lows tiie more interesting part of the process of manufacture: "To earthenware the blue elaj gives toughness and solidity, flint gives white ness, kaolin whiteness and porousness, and Cornish stone acts as a sort of flux binding all together. These materials, being weighed and measured, are placed, together with a large quanity of water, in nuge vats fitted with an agi tator called a blungcr,' by whioh they are thoroughly stirred up and mixed to gether. As my courteous guide raises the lid of one of these 'blunging' ma chinos, I descry, as it were, the interior of a vast churn filled with a strong white sea, as if the oliffe had got mixed with the tide in the manner depicted by some painters of seascapes. This beautifully white fluid runs off, when its parts are judged sufficiently mixed, into troughs, and is strained through sieves of lawn, varying in fineness from twenty-two to thirty-two threads to the inch. It w next tested by weight, a certain measure being required to weigh a certain num ber of ounces. The slipjnow reposes for a while in quaint receptacles shaped Kke the Noah's ark "iven to children. To et rid of the suerihioua dampness of tie compound 'sliu.' it is forced bv means of pumps into bags of strong cloth. It is then pressed, and sometimes cut up and pressed again, being then ready for the thrower. "This is hardly the place in which ot descant upon the potter's wheel as used by the Egyptians. Suffice it to note that the main distinction between the BsVxIern and the ancient potter is that the latter turned his wheel with his foot, while his descendant is supplied with motive power by steam. When the sort of sausage machine just described has done its work and the slip has been pressed, the material is of the consistence of stiff dough. In this condition it comes into the hands of the potter, but not directly. Before it reaches him it is weighed out in lumps and handed to him by the girl who acts as his assist ant When the lump of clay is finally handed to the potter he deals with it in a wonderful manner. Placed on the horizontal wheel revolving before him, the clay is made to perform the most extraordinary evolution. It spreads out, leaving a hollow center, and grows like a mushroom under his skillful band. It becomes anything he likes it ma' be a bowl, a cup, or any other shape. As the clay revolves rapidly, the work man has only to change the posi tion of his hands to produce any shape he may wish. To an imaginative person this is the prettiest part of the manufacture of earthenware. It is in credibly rapid. The workman has hard ly his piece of clay placed before him by the girl attendant than he spreads it out and draws it up as if by magic. Tiiere are many industrial operations picturesque enough, nay, really grand in effect. Grand effects are to be got from smelting furnaces and rolling mills, the work of an emigrant ship out of harbor, the lunding of a great catch of herring, mackerel or pilchard, and beauty may be sought in the ever lovely picture of loading and carrying corn but, for sheer prcttmess and swiftness, the potter's wheel still holds its own. The whole proceeding is so rapid, the touch of the workman so olevcr, that it is just a little bewildoring. One stands and wonders whether one could do it one's self by tbe aid of the outer and inner gauges which appear to be the only aids to workman, beyond his fin gers, to throwing off by the dozen cups of the same size. The'prineiple of the potter's wheel, that of making the ar ticle to be operated upon rovolve while some kind of tool is held against it in one fixed position, is carried out in many department of pottery.

There is a great deficiency of women, though there is no evidence that female children arc destroyed, but it is gravely affirmed that infant mortal ity is peculiarly prevalent among girls. These facts deserve careful examination. Safer ground is found in Mr. Carles' statement that Corcans wear the largest hats in the world. At Phyong Yang, on the west coast, the noor women wear baskets three and a half feet long, two feet and a half wide, and two and a half deep. It is said with all gravity tnat these hats "effectually cover the face." We should hope they would. Women of a better class wear a white cloak over their head. The men wear a somewhat smaller hat. It requires both hands to keep these hats in place. The hats are made of like stuff and plan with the covering of a common fishing-boat. The fishing-boat cover is a little larger than the feminine hat. Tt would seem that the European woman of fashion has never exhausted the possibilities in the direction of large hats. In Corea they bury a doctor of tatters and monumen talize him in a str king waj'.They place over his last resting-pTace the trunk of a tree, painted like a barber's pole up to a height of some thirty feet. The top and branches are cut off, and in their place rises a slim carved dragon, twen ty feet long, with the head of an alliga tor. Christian Union. Italian Sportsmen. All Italians are sportsmen in a small way, and all birds arc game to them. The barber's apprentice returns from his day's holiday, and proudly casts two finches and a robin redbreast on the kitchen table, while he remarks, with an assumed humility, "There is the cac cta." The cook regards him almost ten derly, the kitchen boy views him with undisguised admiration; to have com- Eassed the death of these three small irds seems an act of unquestionable he roism to him. The young man has bor rowed the gun, and most likely, though also most illegally, the shooting license from his neighbor, and it is not improb able that he has cither begged or stolen the trophies of the chase. "Other na tions, other customs," as Heine says. There are parts of Italy in which the swallow is considered fair game and an excellent dish; but in such places a cer tain grace is granted it no one at tempts to shoot it when it is on the wing. N.

I saw it in the early part of May, and if there had been any water in it, it would have been a fine sight Nothing contributes to tho suc cess of a pond nke water. I ventured to say to a Boston man that I was a little surprised to find a frog pond containing neither frogs nor pond, hot he ssid I would find it aH right if I called around daring office hours. While sitting on one of the many seats which may be found on the Common, one morning, I formed the acquaint ance of a pale vountr man who asked me if I resided in Boston. I told him that while I felt flattered to think that I could possibly fool any one, I must ad mit that I was onb a pilgrim and a stranger. Ho said he was an old resident and he had noticed that the people of tho Hub always spoke to a fellow till he was . tired.

Tbs Sad Result of a Military Dads' Ani mated Conversation. Some months ago a Washington society lady presented Captain Smith, U. S. A., one of the military dudes sta tioned at the National capital, with a beautiful litflc dog. The son of Mars was very much pleased with his present. "What a beautiful little animal, he is. Miss Blank, just like you! What lovely brown eyes he has, jutC like you! And such little white paws, just Hkc you!" Miss Blank laughed and said: "Just like yon, would be a good name for him. Suppose you oall him Just-like-you." "An excellent idea, ha! La! ha! Just-likc-you." Not long afterwards, General Jinks, who is very much of a martinet, called at the quarters of Captain Smith, and seeing the dog, admired it very much, and asked: 'What do you call him?" "I eaH him Just-like-you." "Youngman," said General Jinks, stornly, "I never permit my inferior to joko with me. I resent vour familiarity, am sir. "I am not joking. General. That is really the name of the dog. He is called Just-Iike-yow." "You shall hear from me sir." ex claimed tbe Genoral, withdrawing from the eanvass. General Jinks called on the Secretary of War. and now Washington society will miss Captain Smith, who was so useful last season in leading the german. for he has been ordered to report for duty, at Sitka, Alaska.

When the elevator is at the lowest floor, before getting o. always ask the boy if he is going up. Xliis will please him, because he is a student of human nature, and likes to see how big a fool a man can make of himself. The rule can be reversed at the top floor. When you find him there ask him if ho is go ing down. Never tell at what floor you wish to get off. He prefers to guess at H; and would feel hurt if you did not let him carry you to the roof when you want a room on the first floor. When he has carried you farther up than you wish to go, always get angry and call him hard names. He will appre ciate this. Of course it is his fault that you did not tell him where you were go ing. A great source of amusement with ladic3 is standing in the entrance blocking up the passage way while carrying on an animated conversation with some friend. The best time to do this is when some one on some other floor is ringing like mad, because tho boy can not go up un til you either get on or off, and, of course, he would rather listen to you than answer the summons. One of the main things to bear in mind is that the elevator was made for Jou and the boy hired to wait on you. f he is not waiting for you when ever you appear, he is neglecting his duty, and should be severely repri manded. Be unreasonable in every thing. This pleases him more than anything else- Tke Rambler. No Flowers for Har. Enthusiastic recalls for Prima Donna at opera.

A Dry Good Clerk Who Achieved Success In Wall Street. So many stories are told about thru rise of men in Wall street that they sel dom attract as much attention now as they did years ago. when speculation was carried on with caution. One of the most amusing specimens of Wall street men is to be s-een every day on his way to the "street'" in a brougham of his own, with a magnificent team of bays and an English coachman on the box. Within the brougham sits the speculator, leaning forward on his cane looking thoughtfully at hs well-gloved hands. He has a pale and almost effem inate face, and his manner is reserved and austere. He is very exclusive and elegant in the manner of personal en joyment, twenty-four years old, and iu deportment more dignified than Mr. Gould, Mr. Connor or Henry Clews most of whom go up and down in tho elevated, or in yellow cabs. This young man had charge of a certain department of velvets in a firm on Worth street, and made all the way from $15 to $25 a week. He lived in a boarding-houc on Twenty-second street, on ternts of spe cial friendship with the landlady. His father had performed the marriage cere mony for the landlady in earlier years, and she kept her eve on the clergyman's son, and fed him dutifully for $8 a week. He had always "played" the bucket shops, and often made very tidy little winnings. The landlady had raised 4,000 oiuing her many years of keep ing boarders, and was about to devote it to paying off a mortgage osi her house, when the solemn little clergyman's son succeeded in persuading her to invest some of it in Wall street. She was a cautiotin woman, and agreed to let him have $200 every Monday morning for five successive weeks. This is not a great amount of money, but he hap pened to catch the market as it rose, and ne is with it yet. His profits the first two weeks were enormous, and the land lady threw all of her money into the pool. Now he is living in bachelor's chambers in the Ciimlierlaiid. lines reg ularly at Delmomco's and lives in a atateaiiitablc to a millionaire. The older Wall street men are immensely amused at the spectacle, for they say thatasinglo slump of the market will wipe him out of existence as completely as though ha had never lived.
