Father called me at 4:110 in the morning, and while he was getting breakfast I skipped over to the depot cross lots and got my best bass rod. Father took nothing but a trolling line and a spoon hook. He rowed the boat with the trolling line in his mouth, while I stood in the stern with a silver shiner rigged on. Now, John, I never saw a man catch fish as he did.

When honor and wealth came to Zeuxis, he resolved to paint no more pictures for sale, saying there were none rich enough to pay their value.

Parrhasius's fame at length rivalled that of Bht'; -the latter doubted not that if their, works were submitted to competent judges his own woulc1 be deemed superior. An opportunity was presented. The work of Zeuxis was a child carrying a basket of grapes.

As the pic. ture was exposed to the1 view of the judges, some birds flew vdown from a tjree and attempted to peck the grapes.

"I deceived only the birds, while Parrhasius has deceived even me. He never recovered from his defeat and when friends sought to console him with the argument that no ordinary artist could deceiye the birds, he replied sadly, that his picture been a success the figure of a boy would have frightened the birds away from the fruit His life terminated ir a strange manner, if we may believe tradition.

That which is generally adopted by jewelers has for its foundation the well-known fact that the diamond is harder than any other substance, and can consequently not be scratched or marked by anything but another diamond.

The second test is that it becomes positively electric by friction, but it is not electrified by heat, and this serves to distinguish it from the topaz and many other stones. Another method of determining whether a diamond is genuine or not is to pierce a hole in a card with a needle, and then look at the hole through the stone. If false you will see two holes, but If genuine only a single hole will appear. You may also make the test in another very simple way. Put your finger behind the stone and look at It through the diamond as through a magnifying glass.

If the stone is genuine you will be unable to distinguish the grain of the skin, but with a false stone this will be plainly visible. Besides looking through a real diamond the setting is never visible, whereas it is with a false stone. At last supper was ready.

When he has passed successfully such an examination and has gone to his consulate, he is for two years "under probation," and will be dismissed if he is found incapable; but if he passes his probation time with a good record, only disgrace, death, or resignation will remove him from the service. Not only this, but he knows that search for real ability Is so keen that genuine merit will surely be rewarded with promotion.

In France the system is nearly the same The candidate for consular office must understand two languages beside his own. He must pass a strict examination in international law, diplomatic history, statistics, political economy, and geography. If he stands the test successfully he may count on sure promotion as a reward for industry and capacity, and may feel absolutely secure against capricious dismissal, or because some other man desires his place. The result of such systems is to give these governments a thoroughly competent useful and creditable foreign service. Of our consular service the same thing cannot always be said.

Our ministers to important states are almost invariably men of whom Americans can be justly proud, but there is often an American consul in a far-off commercial port who is quite unequal, commercially or socially, to his duties. Indeed, it could hardly be otherwise. He is chosen often merely because he has been a skillful political leader in the far Wesf or because he had been a faithful party Congressman and had failed of re-election. Then, too, it is highly probable that he succeeded in his office a man of the opposite party who was summarily dismissed, a fate which he also looks for when the other party returns to power. The abuse of such appointments are among the worst' results of the "spoils system." bowl and jteered into it.

Treasure Owned by a Mllwaukcean. Peter Van Vechten- of Milwaukee, is the possessor of an interesting and collection of colonial and revolutionary relics, documents, which have mainly been handed down in his family as heirlooms. It includes many papers ot historical importance, dating irom the Dutch period in New ork State, where the Van Vechten family belongs, bills of sale, account books and; the like. The miscellaneous papersTelating to the everyday life of the colonists are many, and among them is a bond in the writing of the Philip Livingston of Livingston manor, bearing date of March 13, 1715. Coming down to revolutionary times there are papors relating to the American troops that served in New York, one of them being the original enlistment roll of a company that was raised in the Cats-kill region, of which Captain Samuel Van Vechten was commander.

Mr. Van Vechten has presented many old books and documents from his collection to the Milwaukee Old Settlers' Club, but he has many more left Some of them he keeps at his Milwaukee residence, on Jefferson street and others are at the old Van Vechten homestead in the Catskills.

Ears in which the "hem" is flat as if smoothed down with a flat iron, accompany a vacillating mind and cold, unromantic disposition. Large round ears, with a neat "hem" around their border, well carved, not flat, indicate a strong will and a bull-dog tenacity of purpose. When there is no lobe and the ear widens from the bottom upward, the owner is of a selfish, cunning and revengeful disposition. The person with an ear with a rounded ovate top is almost without exception one with a placid disposition and a nature that pines to love and be loved in return.

When the ear is oval in form, with the lobe slightly but distinctly marked, it indicates for its owner a lofty ideality, combined with a morbidly sensitive nature. the Harvard Lampoon, to mark man's grave by a white cross, sur tutor Mr. Tucker was very popular, Violins.
