THE CLEVER WPJMAN.
Billings was tall, wjr tali, wfth
an exquisite crop of red hair, where-:
ae Hoadly was short and corpulent
On the train home the other even
ing they became involved in an ar-
guument over the respective abil
ities of their wives as marketers,
t ”Mr. Hoadly,** Billings said, “let
me assure you, sir, that I fully con
cur with you regarding the ability
of Mrs. Hoadly to market, but, sir.
*fr9, Billings displays such remark
able sagacity in her purchases that I
have never yet bad an occasion to
question the advisability of one."
Hoadly’e cheeks puffed out for q
moment before he replied: “WelL
Hillings, I would not for the worla
question such excellent judgment as
that of Mrs. Billings, especially
when I think of her tasty little din
ners, but did I ever tell you of Mrs.
Hoadly *s experience with a Wash
ington market butcher! I have al
ways thought it the smartest bit of
marketing I ever encountered. You
remember Porksides, the butcher,
who keeps a stall near the lower
end of the market!” .
> ‘‘I have heard Mrs. Billings com
ment upon that person.’’
“Yes, it was Mrs. Billings that
recommended him to Mrs. Hoadly,
and this day, wishing to buy some
•prifig chickens, it occurred to her
to try Porksides; so she inquired:
“ *How many spring chickens
have you got today, Mr. Porksides?*
“ ‘I have just six left of the
batch,* said he. ‘There they are,
hanging on the books. ’
“Now here is where Mrs. Hoadly
excelled in astuteness,’’ and Hoad-
Jy's face beamed proudly as he told
it.
, “Til take three of them,’ she
laid, ‘but as I keep a boarding
house I want you to pick out the
three toughest. Possibly you Can
let me have them a little less.’ **
“Bah!” exclaimed Billings. “You
don't call that astuteness, do you!**
“Wait a minute, my dear Billings.
Porksides went to work punching
those chicks till he had selected the
three toughest. Just as he finished
in walked your wife, Mrs. Billings.’’
“After the two ladies had greeted
each other my wife turned, and, to
the utter astonishment of Porksides,
totally disregarding the three tough
chickens he had selected father,
coolly informed him that st^j^uld
take the other three. Now, what do
you think of that method of secur
ing tender chickens!’’
“A smart one, Hoadly. flB, in
deed, quite clever; in fact, almost
as clever a thing as Mrs. Billings
would do. But then it would be diffi
cult for any butcher to fool her on
chickens.”
Hoadly had been laughing so hard
over his story that it was a moment
or two before he realized what Bill
ings had said. When he did, he sad
ly shook his head and relapsed into
thought for a moment.
“Billings,” he finally said, “there
was only one person in that trans
action I felt sorry for.”
“Who? Porksides!”
“No, old man, it was you.”
“Mel What on earth did I have
to do with it?”
“Well, you see, Billings, your wife
bought the three tough chickens.”

DIAMONDS OF GOLCONDA;
Mareo Polo's Accent of Thwn VmIiIIH
One of Slndbad’s Tales.
In St Nicholas Noah Brooks, tell-
ing for the children of today “The
Tine,Story of Marco Polo,” quotes
the flowing account of the dia
mond^ vof Goloonda from the great
Venetian traveler's narrative:
It is in*W*kingdom that diamonds
are got; .and \ will tell you how.
ffiiere are pertain lofty mountains
in those parts, .and whei) the winter
rains fall, which are very heavy,
the waters come roaring dowgjbe
mountains in great torrents. When
the rains are over and the waters
flow, thCjTSear^Tttie^
torrents and find plenty of dia
monds. In summer also there are
plenty to be found in thqjnountains,
but the heat of the sun is so great
that it is scarcely possible to go
thither, nor is there then a drop of
water to be found. Moreover, in
those mountains great serpents are
rife to a marvelous degree, besides
other vermin, and this owing to the
great heat The serpents are also
the most venomous m existence, so
that any one going there runs fear-
for many haVd been de
stroyed by these evil reptiles
Now 1 among these mountains
there are certain great and deep
valleys, to the bottom of which
there is no access, wherefore the
men who go in search of the dia
monds take with {hem pf
flesh, as lean as they can get and
these they cast into the bottom of
the valley. Now, there are num
bers of white eagles that haunt
those mountains and feed vpon the
serpents. When die eagles see the
meat thrown down, they pounce
upon jt and ayry it up to poms
rocky hilltop, where they begin to
rend it But there are men on the
watch, and as soon as they see that
the eagles have settled, they raise a
loud shouting to drive them away.
And when the eagles are thus fright
ened away the men recover {he
pieces of meat and find them full of
diamonds which have stuck to the
meat down in the bottom. For the
abundance of diamonds down there
in the depths of the valleys is aston
ishing, but nobody can get down,
and if one could it would be only to
be at once devoured by the serpents
which are so rife them
There is also another way of get
ting the diamonds The people go
tp the nests of those white eagles,
of which there are many, and find
plenty of diamonds which the birds
have carried off with the meat that
was cast into the valleys. And
when the eagles themselves are
taken diamonds are found in their
stomachs.
So now I have told you three dif
ferent ways in which these stones
are found. No other country but
this kingdom of Mutfili produces
them, hut there, they are found both
abundantly and of large size. Those
that are brought to our part of the
world are only the refuse, as it were,
of the finer and larger stones. For
the flower of the diamonds and other
large gems, as well as the largest
pearls, are all carried to the great
khan and other kings and princes of
those regions. In truth, they pos
sess all the great treasures of the
world.

Concentrated acids and caustic al
kalis decompose or carbonize the
celluloid. While the finished article
is not dangerous, the manufacture
is highly so. Various additions to
render the celluloid less inflamma
ble are hardly required. The small
er articles are cut ready in the cold,
dipped into hot water, bent and
shaped, and plunged into cold water
again to retain their shape. Larger
articles are pressed in heated molds.
If reheated during further opera
tions, the articles lose their shape.
The comb manufacture is simpler
than with hard rubber. The teeth
are stamped with dyes, by hand or

dyes are generally added at the

obtained by superposition of plates
of different colors and cross cutting
of the compressed blocks. Surface
dyes may be dissolved in acetic acid
or acetic ethers, which slightly at

He had never done any harm or any
good to any one, and on the whole
the ghost story was rather tame.
But the door was there, and there
was a mystery about it which was
still unsolved through all the years.
“Last year the owner of the house,
at my suggestion, opened the old
Hall for summer boarders, and I led
the van and took the room with the
mysterious door in it Many’e the
night I’ve sat and watched that
door, and often of moonlight nights
I’ve sat in the open window, wait
ing to see if the sweetness of the
southern summer night would not
tempt the old master to wander, but
he never came forth to meet me.
One night, though, came the
revelation of the mystery. A cur
tain in one of the windows of a wing
of the house was blown into a can
dle flame, and five minutes later a
fire was raging. Half an hour later
the fire was out, but the wing ad
joining my room had lost its upper
half, exposing the wall of the main
building. In the repairs that follow
ed this wall was partly removed,
and it was shown that the myste
rious door was not a door, but merely
a joke on posterity, played by the
original proprietor, who had had a
heavy piece of oak put in the wains
coting and had carved it with his
hands to resemble a door. The
hinges and latch he had put in to
carry the trick to the very end. That

PvorUIon* of s Document Believed Never
to Have Been Published.
The will of Samuel Pepys, it is be
lieved, has never been published. It
is a document of good length, and
G. A. Aitken gives a summary of it
in The Athenaeum:
“The will is dated Aug. ■$, 1701,
when Pepys is described as in hi*
sixty-ninth year, and of sound mind
and memory. ‘I do with all humili
ty and thankfulness and with a sat
isfaction inexpressible, ’ says Pepys,
‘resign the soul to its Creator, in
sure reliance for a happy resurrec
tion with the just to an everlasting
state of rest and bliss in the world
to come. ’ As to such worldly goods
as he possessed after 21 years' ‘pub
lic and painful service faithfully
performed to the crown, ’ he devised
all lands, etc., in Brampton, Hunts
and all other real property to his
nephew, Samuel Jackson of Bramp
ton, eldest son of liis late sister,
Paulina Jackson, for life, and then
to his sons successively. In default cf
such issue the property was to go to
his nephew, John Jackson of West
minster, youngest son of Paulina,
and to his sons successively, and in
default of such sons to his cousin,
Charles Pepys, second son of his late
uncle, Thomas Pepys. An annuity
of £15 to his old servant, Jane Pen
ny, was to be paid during her life,
and £500 legacy was left to the ex
ecutor.
“There was due to Pepys from the
crown £28,007 2s. lj^d. on a balance
of two accounts—first, ns clerk to
the acts of the navy and secretary
of the admiralty, and, second, as
treasurer for Tangier to Charles II
and James II. This money, when
paid, was to be laid out in land for
the benefit of his heirs. The residue
of his estate was also to lie invested
in land and held in trust for his
heirs. Pepys urged his nephews ‘to
join with me in not repining at any
disappointment they may by the
late public providences of almighty
God meet with iu what they might
otherwise have reasonably hoped
for from me at my death, but to re
ceive with thankfulness from God’s
hands whatever it shall prove, re
membering it to be more than what
either myself or they were born to,
and, therefore, endeavoring 011 their
part by all humble and honest in
dustry to improve the same.’
“The sole executor was ‘my most
approved and most dear friend, Wil
liam Hewer,’ of Clapham. ‘Pepys
speaks of Hewer’s “more than filial
affection and tenderness expressed
toward me through all the occur
rences of my life for 40 years past. *
“On the 12th of May, 1703, Pepys
made a codicil’ to his will, owing to
his nephew, Samuel Jackson, hav
ing disposed of himself in marriage
‘against my positive advice and in
junction, and to his own irreparable
prejudice and dishonor. ’ This neph
ew was now to have only an an
nuity of £40 a year. At the same
time Pepys left £200 a year to ‘the
most excellent lady,’ Mrs. Mary
Skynner, in memory of ‘her steady
friendship and assistances during
the whole course of my life,* for 33
years. The use of his library for
life was left to John Jackson, who
was to see to its completion accord
ing to a scheme in bis hands. The
library was to be kept entire and
bestowed for the benefit of posteri
ty. The arrangements for its dispos
al have been already published.
On the following day Pepys ex
ecuted a second codicil, bequeathing
£9,000 2s. l^d. of what was owing
to him. Mrs. Skynner was to have
£5,000, Hewer £2,000 and the chil
dren of Charles Pepys, now de
ceased, £1,000. There are also direc
tions as to the residue of the debt,
which, however, was never paid.
Pepys died a fortnight later, and
the will was proved on the 25th of
June.”
