MYSTERY OF SEVERAL YEARS SEEMS M ;0 BE CLEARED UP. satter That Has Long Been of U.imsnal 4 terest to ATt Collectors—Brayton Ives 'lr:lls QueeT Facts About the Vase and Conditions of His Purchase. ‘ The Peaciblow vase is in this city. muat is the verdict of an amateur Sher ock Holmes, who set about the elucida tim of the prnf(nul]d mystery surr<_)und ing this celebrated pmce.of porcelzfln for wi}iCh £15,000 was paid when it was wld at quction in thig city some eight ears ago. Moreover, 1t seems apparent 3em waat this amateur detective has firjgcov(’“‘d that, while the famous Peach jlow vase belongs to Mr. Brayton Ives ad is nOW in his house on Thlrty:fourph greet, even Mr. Ives t;lmself is still pystified about some things concerning ILMr. Ives did not pay §lB,OOO for the peachblow vase, and yet Mr. Moss, prother-in-law of Mrs. Mary Jane Mor gan and the executor of her estate, af frms that that enormous sum was paid into the estate for the vase after the auc tion sale. Nobody can tell who it is that is out of pocket because of the mys.te%‘y sur younding the Peachblow, but it is cer win that somebody for a reason best | kpown to himself paid out several thou | qnd dollars and has concealed his iden fity np to this date. Mr. Brayton Ives a‘;vf‘ 1= to be as much mystified as every- Ay Cine, ; Dot now that Mr. William T. Wal tors of Daltimore is dead and a proniise of & v made by Mr. Ives at the time the vase cawme into his possession has peen fullfitled, he has consented to dis doso some facts not hitherto known in connection with the mystery. “The vase which isnow in my posses son,” said Mr. Ives, ‘‘was bought by me from the American Art association, vhich had conducted the sale of the Morgan collection. From the outset there was something very mysterious shout it. I was given to understand that Iwas to sce something very rare and precious, but that I would have to prom ise to keep it quiet and not tell anybody about it for a certain length of time. Then when my curiosity and interest had been fully aroused I was conducted alone into a shaded apartment. After the doors had been locked and my com panion had looked under the table to be sure there was no one concealed there, asafe was opened cautiously, and this vase was taken out from under its cover: ings. It looked to me like the Peach bow, which had vanished so mysteri ously. | “One moment, please,’’ said the ama. | tenr Sherlock Holmes, ‘‘how long after the Peachblow was gold for $lB,OOO to Mr. Walters, as Mr. Sutton alleged, did this ure’ “From nine months to a year after ward,”’ said Mr, Ives. ‘I bought the vase which was exhibited to e, but 1 said nothing about it for a long time. 1 kept it locked in my house. Before I got it I had to promise not to speak about it fv‘r a specified time, but that time has elapsed,’ “How much did you pay for the vase?”’ .“Tir.r I am not at liberty to state,’’ faid Mr. Ives. ‘““When I bought it, 1 ade two promises, one that I should Lot say anything about it for a specified time, the other that I should never dis tlose the purchase price.”’ “What is at the bottom of all this mystery?’’ “I am unable to guess,’’ answered Mr. Brayton Ives. *‘Whether or not tue vase [ bought was the Peachblow vase, there was no reason that I am aware of Why the facts should be concealed.’’ }lr. Ives admitted that the price he Paid for the vase was considerably less than §lB,OOO, aod as an example of ori eéntal porcelain he considered it worth What he had paid for it. He said that during the years the vase had been in h}s Possession many things had come to bis knowledge about the Peachblow, and ihat at times he doubted whether the 486 In his possession was in reality that :zljmus little mug.

A Pickpocket Who Was Foolish Enough to Steal a Lady's Pocketbook, ‘fl just swiped a leather, Jim,” saic a pickpocket to another of his profession as he came across him sitting on a bench in Union square. “Waus it one o’ them purty ones what the women carries ronud de street in der hands?’’ “Yes, I swiped it up on Fift’ avener when she wus lookin inter er windy. “If yer’d been in de bizniz as long as I hev, yer wouldn's er took it.*’ “*Whyy’ * *Tain’t wuth it. “A feller might strike er big haul, though, that way some time.’’ “‘Not on yer life he wouldn't. I['ve swiped a load on ’em, an I never got one yit that I could git a beer out on. Dey don’t carry money in dem leathers. Dey’s only er bluff. Try dat one yer’ve got and see if it’s enny good.’’ Glancing about him warily to make sure that no one was watching him, the pickpocket opened the purse. He found ~three samples of silkoline, a patent glove buttoner, a card advertising a lo tion for removing blackheads from the face, a shect of flesh colored court plas ter, some samples of scrim and Madras, a list of prices of carpets, a circular showing an illustration of a patent hose supporter, a card of small safety pins, two slabs of chewing gum warranted to cure dyspepsia and a card bearing her address and instructions to take her there if she met with an accident. “That’s all dere is in it,’’ said the man who had ‘‘swiped’’ the pockethaok as ho turned it upside down and shook it, with a look of disgust on his face. “Didn’t I tell yer,’”’ remarked the other. ‘‘l've ‘swiped’ dem t’ings till I'm tired. Dey’re all de same. De wo men don’t carry nothin but trash in ’em. De money ain’t dere, never!’'— New York Herad. A CURIGCSITY OF LUNACY. Periodic Recurrence of Mania, by Which the Patient Lives Three Eives. There is a special form of mental dis ease first described in FKFrance, whose definite character is given to it by ite periodicity, and hence it is called folie circulaire. In it there are three sections of the mental circle that the patient moves in—viz, elevation, depression and sanity—and in this round he spends his life, passing out of one into the other, for it is, when fully established, a very incurable disease. The patient takes an attack of mania, during which he is joyous, restless, troublesome, extravagant and often vicious. He eats voraciously, sleeps lit tle and never seems to tire. His tem peratureis a degree or so above the nor wal, his eye is bright and glistening, he is enamored of the other sex, he shows diminished self control and no common sense. This lasts for a few weeks, or a few months more commonly, and then hc passes sometimes gradually and some times rather suddenly into a condition of depression, during which he is slug gish, dull, looking differently, dressing differvently, eating ditferently, fearful, unreliant and sedentary in habits. This state will last a few weeks or months, and the patient will brighten up into what seems rccovery and is to all intents and purposes in his normal state. This again lasts for a few weeks or months, and he gradually gets mor bidly elevated. You find he is passing through every minute mental phase and habit he did at first. Depression follows, as before, and then sanity, and this ‘ round of three states of feeling, of intel- | lect, of volition, and of nutrition, goes on, circle after circle, till the patient dies. He lives three lives.—Hospital. Too Smart For the Doctor. The daughter of a well known jocke) was very ill, having caught a severe cold. A doctor was sent for and was buttonholed by the mother, who request ed him to favor her by advising her daughter not to wear low ankled shoes. The daughter was sent for, and, after her tongue had been given the usua_l gnt of door exercise, the man of medicine said: “Ah, you are suffering from what we medical men call a low shoe cold, and I must prohibit you from wearing such shoes in the future.” : The young lady started, and, tak}ng off one of the offending shoes, exclaim ed: “‘Since you are so clever, doctor, as t look at my tongue and tell me what i 3 amiss witk my feet, will you be kind ‘ enough to look at my feet and tell' me whether my fringe is properly adjust ed?”’ He gave up prescribing for smart girls,—London Tit-Bits.

Then my ‘body settled quietly to the bottom, and oy arms fell limp by my side. In my half conscious condition I could see all 1y relatives and acquaintances crowda iing about me and looking down on me with tearful faces. All the events, it lsconmd, of my career passed slowly in review, and the good, bad and indiffer }ent acts stood out before me in bold re ‘lief. I knew I was drowning and re ‘member thinking, ‘‘Why, this is not so hard, after all!”’ 1 wondered where my body would be found and shuddered at the thought that it might never be found. I also won ‘dered whether or not my companion had ‘become alarmed and run away and left ‘me to my fate, or whether he was div ing here and there to find me. Then I pictured my burial, and how the clods would resound on my coffin when it was lowered into the grave, and my fate would be pointed out to other boys by ‘ pnxious mothers as a warning. At the next stage I could hear bells softly ringing in the distance, together with little tinklings and chirrups sound ing in my ears. Then I began to see® pretty pictures. The colors of the rain bow danced before my eyes and inter mingled and formed into all sorts of odd shapes. I had no pain and no fear of what was expected to follow. I secm ed to be enchanted at the scene before | me. Everything was light and calm and mowed about without any visible ‘ impelling force. It was like looking | into a large mirorr with every beautiiul ' thing that the most vivid imagination could conjure up revealed thereby. The last stage that I entered increas ed the beauty of the surroundings. All discordant noises ceased and were super: saded by the softest, sweetest music that could be thought of. Apparently I had been transported to a place flooded with bright, calm sunshine. It was neither too hot nor too cold, but seemed like a clear autumn day. Then I seemed to riso from the ground and float off into space like thistle down. Higher and higher I went until I seemed to look down on the world from a great height, and then came a blank. The aext thing I knew I was lying on the raft with my companion looking down oa me with a pale face.—New York Journal. . Chinese Women’s Feet. | It is the common understanding among Americans that the women of China have dwarfed feet. From the time that China was opened to explorers books of travel, and especially school textbooks, have been filled with descrip tions of the dreadful agony to which Chinese womean were subjected to make their feet small. According to thesc stories and according to the popular be- | lief in America, the fect of Chinese girl babies are put in compresses until their growth has been stunted. Travelers in China have described the attempt of Chinese women to walk as something very painful. No one would be shocked at Mrs. Yang Ju’s pedestrian style. It is vrue, the interpreter of the legation tells me, that in the southern provinces of China women’s feet are dwarfed, but it is only in the southern provinces that small feet are considered a mark of aristocracy. Mrs. Yang Ju’s feet were never put through the dwarfing process. Neither ere the feet of her children undergoing that painful operation. The little tots run about the legation halls freely, and on the day when I was there one of them took a long peep at me through the door way of the reception room when I was not supposed to be looking in that direc tion. This little fellow was dressed in the gaudy silks which are an invariable feature of the Chinese custom.—Wash ington Staz. AN Afecting awi®, Barber —Poor Jim has been sent 10 &b insane asylum. Victim (in chair)—Who'’s Jim? «Jim is my twin brother, sir. Jim has long been broodin over the hard simes, and I suppose he finally got crazy.” “Hum!

No money in this business any more.” “What's the matter with it?” l “Prices too low. Unless a customer takes a shampoo or somethin, it doesn't pay to shave or hair cut. Poor Jim! I caught him tryin to cut a cust«omer’sl throat because he refused a shampoo, and so I had to have the poor fellow locked up. Makes me very melancholy.
