New York, Nov., 15. —Myrtilla F. Hart to-day entered suit in the Supreme Court against Tiffany <fc Go. far $2,500, alleged value of silverware and other property in a trunk which was given inrtc thei" charge. She was married in I'BB4, at Charleston, S. C., to Joshua L. Hart , and seperated from him in 1892. She had given the trunk, which contained the wedding pres ents, en to Tiffany’s care, «nd the husband wrote for the trunk. It was sent to him. He testified to-day that his wife nevechad made appl'catiom to him for the trunk. Tiffany & ’Co. put ' in evidence to show that the pres ents were only worth $427.

Judge Barrett held that Tiffany had no right to turn the trunk over to the husband unless they could prove that the wife had given au thority to do so. TO BRIGHTEN UP THE COLOR. Now is the time to polish up the complexion for winter wear with a diet es sweet, winy fruits, asystem of oold baths and a programme of exercise in the open air. A spoon ful of fruit is neither food or medi cine- Both are needed. Buy grapes, peaches and plums by the box, if means allow, and eat them before they have time to spoil. When the crop is gone get sweet oranges and tart tonicky grape fruit. It is a mis take to save fruit. It ia too delicate ’ to keep. When a peach has lost its bloom, or a bunch of grapes has a brown, dried-up stem, they are not beautifying or vitalizing food HIS OPINOIN. They were standing on a street corner waiting for a car.

She felt it would be rude to change the conversation too abruptly, so she simply said : “By the way, do you call ‘a pair of knickerbockers’ singular or p’ural?” The Englishman glanced after the retreating bicyclers. “Plural,” he said, “as applied to men; but in the case of women—singular”— Chicago JoMrnal. MAYBE THE RETUNB CAUB- 1 ED IT. Washington C. H., Ohio, N<V 5. —Mrs Charles A. Cave, oftbie city, relates in incident which serves to show that even tbs lower animals have syrupa'hetic hearts. She bad killed a Dice, fat hen and after chopping its bead off threw it upon the ground. The boss rooster of the barnyard a bird of the Langshan variety, did not notice the dying chicken on the ground until it began to flap its wings, when he tnrned bis head around,and a peculiar expies siou on his face fell over upon his back. Here he lay for fully two min utes, apparently going through ' the agonies es death. Mrs. Cavs went up to the rooster, supposing him to be dead, when conscious ness was reatorsd and the champi on crowsr of the neighborhood was ■ able to walk around. Some say that the rooster was , “chicken-hearted,” like some peo ple are, and swooned away at the sight of blood, while others believe that he realised, in the fluttering i hen on the ground with the blood oozing frem her neck, his favor t ite female companion, and fainted j away at the terrible thought of , losing her. f ALMOST HUMAN.
