THE POWER OF BEAUTY.
A Bnrslar Who Preferred a Ki„ to

“T _ fancy?’ said a handsome woman

woman’s beauty. Of course, It is sup
posed that only poets know anything
ibout the matter, but I can bear test!
mony of a different sort, and it is from
my own experience. W hen I was a
girl of 20, I was really very pretty and
I had no’end of gay gallants dancing
attendance on me all the time, which
was some sigu of the truth of my
statement, for 1 was neither very rich
nor very bright-just an ordinary, real
pretty girl; that was all. But the pow
er was there, though I was not con
acious of its strength until after my
experience.
“I lived in a southern city of 25.000
people, and one night I attended a
dance a half dozen blocks from my
home and did not get back until 1
o’clock in the morning, my escort being
the gentleman who is now my husband,
He proposed to me that night, and
when I came into the house 1 fancy 1
must have been prettier than I ever
was before, for I never was so happy.
The house was still, for the only people
In It, except two old servant# away
back in the L. were my father and
mother, who had gone to bed hours
before. I slipped up stairs to my room
as quietly as a mouse and turning ur
the gas I was confronted by a burglar,
who pointed a pistol at mo and told me
not to make any noise or he would kill
me. I didn't faint, because 1 was so
happy that it inspired me. I suppose.
and I stood still looking at him. He
looked at me. too, dressed in my best
gown and shining with a lot of jewels.
for our family had some fine diamonds
and other things of ornament that had
descended to and like most south- '
me,
ern when girls it was 1 liked not in to the wear best them taste. even j
i
’• ‘I wouldn’t hurt as pretty a girl as
you are for the w lt rld. he said with a
bow: ‘but I’ve got to bate the shiners,
so just take them off and hand them
over, while 1 pick up what I can find
lying around loose.’
“With trembling fingers I took off
my handsome jewels while he gathered
up ali he could find on my dressing
case and put them in his pocket, keep¬
ing the pistol pointed at me. He was
not a bad looking man, and as I put out
my hand to him with the jewelry In It
I smiled at him, as frightened as I was,
and asked him if he wouldn't go right
away. But he did not take the jewelry
and he did not go away. He simply
stared at me in undisguised admiration
and took out of his pockets the trinkets
he had gathered from the dressing case.
“ ‘If you will excuse me, miss, for
lmpertiaenee,’ he said, ‘I’ll say to you
that you are the prettiest girl I ever
saw In my life, and 1 always did ad¬
mire pretty girls. I hate to rob you like
this, and If you will let me kiss you,
just on your cheek where it is pinkest,
I’ll leave everything else and take only
the remembtftnee of that as a reward
for this night’s job.’
‘‘This time I did almost faint, but 1
tried to be strong and succeeded so
well that I kept my wits. It was some¬
thing dreadful to be kissed by a bur¬
glar, but he was so respectful and real¬
ly did admire me, and besides I was
saving several thousand dollars’ worth
of jewels, so I didn’t say a word, but
just turned my cheek toward him. He
took off his cap. bent forward, touched
me on the cheek with his lips and stood
back with his pistol in his hand.
“ ‘Now, if I may trouble you to go to
the front door with me,’ he said, ‘so
that if anybody should see me coming
out it will not cadse any remarks, 1
will relieve you of my presence, which,
I assure you, would never have occur¬
red had I known as much as I know
now.’
"I thought I never could do it, but 1
did, and I stood in the door till he dis¬
appeared around the corner; then I col¬
lapsed utterly, and the night watch¬
man found me there 15 or 20 minutes
afterward and roused the house. By
the time I knew enough to tell any¬
thing the burglur was far, far away.
The story got into the papers,of course,
and in a week or two I received a note
of regret from ray burglar, postmarked
Cincinnati, which was the only clew
we ever had of him. But the kissing
part of tbe story was not printed. 1
kept that to myself, and the first per¬
son to whom I told it was my husband,
and he was gallant enough to say that
the burglar had got the better part of
the bargain.’’—New York Sun.
Care of a Lawn Mower,
One of the most necessary and yet
one of the most abused of all imple¬
ments is the lawn mower. To sharpen
tbe knives is not a difficult matter. To
do tt remove the wheels and slip the
cogwheel off the end of the shaft A
little clutch will be found in a slot in
the shaft at each end. Simply reverse
the positions of cogwheels and clutches
from one end of the shaft to the other,
so that the reel can be run backward;
then replace the outer wheels and fas
ten them in place with either the nuts
or cotters. With the oil can ran a little
oil along the edge of the lower knife.
Upon this oil sprinkle medlutn coarse
emery powder. Now turn the machine
upside down and push it along the
lawn rapidly, the reel turning back¬
ward causing the emery to grind all
the knives. The wheels may then be
taken off and tbe cogs and clutches re¬
versed, the emery carefully wiped off,
the knives adjusted, the machine oiled,
sad it will be ready for usa.—Woman’s
Home Companion.
Me* and Quiet.
Tommy—Can we play at keeping
shop in here, mamma?
Mamma {who lias a headache)—Yes.
but you must be very, very quiet.
Tommy—All right; we’ll pretend we
don’t advertise.
Then She Mi»*ed It.
Wiggs—Poor old soul! She doesn’t
belleve as much in the efficacy of pray
er as she did.
Waggs—Tou surprise me. She baa
always been so extremely religious.
Wiggs—Yes, but the other day she
got ready to go into the city, and then
She discovered that she had only ten
minute# in which to catch the train,
So she knelt down before she started
and for five minutes prayed fervently
SUndMda^maul that she might catch it. — Catholic

LIKED THE POORHOUSE.
Would Not Leave It to Go Fop Money
That Belonged to Him.
“I won’t go out! I won’t leave here
for anything!”
Such was the amazing declaration of
a pauper attendant In an east end Lon¬
don workhouse on being told by an
agent that he was entitled to some
money. And the man—the son of a
post captain in the navy—meant all
that he said. Not an inch would he
budge, nor would he sign any paper,
and It was only by taking a commis¬
sioner down to him that the fund
could lie recovered.
Whether because it was only a com¬
paratively small sum or whether be¬
cause he was a worker, the guardians
made no claim on it Accordingly, at
his request, it was split, and two ac¬
counts were opened on his behalf in
the Postofflce Savings bank. But for
a /1 that, he continued to remain in the
workhouse.
Meanwhile he was very anxious that
his wife should not know he was alive
—in fact, he denied that he was mar¬
ried. His life partner, however, called
at the agent’s office to inquire about
the case, though she begged that her
husband might not be told of her
whereabouts. She was iu a fairly
good position, earning as she did a liv¬
ing by keeping a ladles’ school, and
once or twice her reprobate husband
had turned up in au intoxicated condi¬
tion and raised a commotion that had
scandalized her pupils. The 111 sorted
pair were, therefore, not brought into
communication.
Never would the pauper iegatec leave
the workhouse. He remained there till
his death, whereupon having left no
will, the money he had scorned to use
passed to his wite.-Cassell’s Saturday
Journal.
A Blunt Excuse.
There is a story of an English clergy¬
man who had taken temporary duty
for a friend and who had the ill luck
to injure his false teeth during the
week. The plate was sent to the den¬
tist for repairs, a faithful assurance
being given that It should lie returned
by Sunday’s post, but the dentist or
the post proved faithless.
With the assistance of the clerk the
•iergyman managed to stumble through
the prayers, but felt it would be use
less to attempt to preach. He there¬
fore instructed the clerk to make some
excuse for him and dismiss the con¬
gregation. But his feelings may bc
better imagined than described when,
in the seclusion of the vestry, lie over¬
heard the clerk in impressive tones
thus deliver the excuse:
“Parson is very sorry, hut it is his
misfortune to be obliged to wear a set
of artful teeth. They busted last
Wednesday, and lie ain’t got them back
from Loudon today, as he was promls
ed. I've helped him nil I could through
the service, but I can't do more for
him. ’Tlsn’t any use for him going up
in the pulpit, for you wouldn’t under
stand a word he said, so he thinks you
all nrny as well go home.”

HE WORKED DESTRUCTION.
A Sample of What a Fairly Healthy
• Cockatoo Can Do.
A light chain securely fastened on
the cockatoo's leg promised safety, but
he contrived to get within reach of my
new curtains and rapidly devoured
some half yard or so of a baud painted
border, which was the pride of my
heart. Then came an interval of cairn
aud exemplary behavior which lulled
me into a false security. Cockie seemed
to have blit one object in life, which
was to pull out all his own feathers,
and by evening the dinfng room often
looked as though a white fowl had
been plucked iu it.
I consulted a bird doctor, but as
Cockle's health was perfectly good and
his diet ail that could be recommended,
It was supposed he ouly plucked himself
for want of occupation, and firewood
was recommended as a substitute,
This answered very well, and he spent
his leisure iu gnawing sticks of deal—
only when no one chanced to be in the
room he used to unfasten the swivel
of his chain, leave it dangling on the
•tand and descend in search of his
playthings. When the fire had not
been lighted, 1 often found half the
coals pulled out of the grate aud the
firewood in splinters. At last, with
warmer weather, both coals and wood
were removed, so the next time Master
Cockle found himself short of a Job he
set to work on the dining room chairs,
first pulled out all their'bright pails
and next tore holes In the leather,
through which he triumphantly
dragged the stuffing.
At one time he went on a visit for
some weeks and ate up everything
within his reach in that friendly estab
lishtnent. His “bag” for one afternoon
consisted of a venerable fern and a
large palm, some library books, news
papers, a pack of cards and an arm¬
chair. And yet every one adores him,
aud he is the spoiled child of more than
one family.—CornhiU.

TRAINING WATCHDOGS.
Tlie Method That Ia Uaed by a Ger¬
man Instructor.
Although it is generally believed that
watchdogs are “to the manner born,”
it seems that a certain amount of train¬
ing helps very much to turn out a real¬
ly good one. This system of training
has developed into a regular business
In Berlin, where oue Herr Straus has
an academy from which watchdogs
are turned out by the hundred every
year.
His system is educational and is ap¬
plied to almost every kind of dog. II#
first teaches the animal obedience by
training it to perform certain “tricks”
at command and then trains it to dis
tiuguisb between a visitor and a bur¬
glar and what part of a mau’s body
should be attacked to render th# man
helpless,
Outside of the gate the trainer places
a dummy representing thu burglar, aud
to the latch is attached a string. By
means of th# string the gate is opened
slowly, until the head of the dummy
becomes visible, when tbe dog ia
taught to fly at its throat. Herr Strau#
is very particular about this. He makes
