There Is a story told In Dublin about Mr. Balfour and an eminent Bishop who had fought hard for the unfortunate people of his country. The two men met for the first time at dinner, and, in the course of the talk, Mr. Balfour said: "But, after all, I fancy that the newspapers make more noise than the masses. Do you think, now, that the people really dislike me?" "Ah, Mr.

Balfour," said the Bishop, "if the Irish hated the devil only half as much as they do you my occupation would be gone." Mr. Albert Chevalier tells a good story on himself. He was playing an old man's part at the Gayety Theater, London, when a youth of 18, and the Kendals were also In the cast. One night cue entirely slipped his memory. Looking toward the prompter's entrance, he saw Irving, Bancroft, David James, Miss Terry and other celebrities looking on.

Standing speechless and embarrassed on the stage, the raw lad was greeted with a tremendous round of applause. After it had subsided he got on lamously. When the performance was over he anxiously awaited the Kendals' ver dict. "You were a bit uncertain in your lines," said Mr. Kendal; "in fact, at one time you stopped dead." "Yes," said Chevalier, "but I was all right after I got that round of applause." My dear youngster.

Jvendal said, "that round of applause commenced when the Prince of Wales entered the theater." "Lorna Doone." according to Its Mr. R. D. Blackmore, might have remained an unrecognized book to the present day if it had not been for a singular coincidence. The book was offered to eighteen different publishers, but ail refused it.

In desperation, it was sent to a new puo-lisher. who was not particular as to the merits of its authors, but alas! the book did not sell. The reviewers were scathing in their criticisms and ths public would not. buy. Then came an event which was the making of the novel.

The Princ3 Louise had just become engaged to the Marquis of Lome, and everything about the event was eagerly read. The public got the notion th-at "Lorna Doone" had something in it about Lord Lome, and the book Immediately began to sell. The people soon discovered that the book contained nothing about the much-discussed marriage, but they recognized a charming story, and from that time to this the sale of the novel has been tremendous.

Zola, In spite of his large earnings, is a poor man. He has no talent for amassing wealth, and spends his money as quickly as he receives it.

Queen Victoria's luggage, which was sent from Windsor Castle to Nice, was all labelled, "Countess of Balmoral."

C. Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to reduce the enlargement. After six months' constant treatment here, my physician urged me to submit to a removal of the gland.

c. Speculation the Death of Trade. "Often a few dollars Invested in these (stocks and product) becomes the nucleus of speedy and colossal wealth." Gambling pure and simple. Such an Investment doesn't relate In the remotest degree to the actual stocks and products. It simply consists of placing your money in the hands of certain parties as a margin on the quotations of certain stocks or products at a certain figure with the understanding that If you buy and the stock quotations go down to or below your margin you lose, and If they go up you win, and vice-versa If you "sell." Not a smithereen of the product of labor is ever seen or touched, neither are the stocks Of ftOrnnrftHnno a A imply a lien on the productive capacity of the Institutions which they represent.
