Th, «h*fp Trtek That Wsw PUyid an a London Jeweler, There is one firm of jewelers in London which has the best of rea­ sons for remembering how efficient/ a detective may be in certain cir-f eumstanees. An American bishop entered the shop and asked tp tp permitted to see some jewelry, noth- mg very expensive, which he could not-afford, but something that |he might ask his wife to accept, gay £70 or £80. Charged, of coupe, the obliging shopman displayed! hia wares, and the bishop, with his/car­ riage at the door, did not hurry but was persuaded eventually to take a bracelet at £100, He produc id a note for £100, That happened to he all the money he had with him. It seemed all right to the Bhop nan, hut the good bishop, a string r to the firm, \yas scrupulous, “ pe: id it along to the bank and have b ex­ amined while I Avait,” he said.! “ I should prefer it,” Nothing sim­ pler.' An assistant was dispatched to the bank and returned to saylthe note was one of the, very best, and everything was very satisfactory. The bishop took the bracelet; the man behind the counter popped on­ to usher him into his carriage, when' up strode an unmannerly variet of a policeman in uniform and tapped the bishop on the shoulder, “Hello, Jim!” . he exclaimed fa­ miliarly to the good man in the shovel ‘ hat and gaiters. “Hello ! TJp. to your old tricks again, are you? You’ll just come along with me.” So saying, he roughly han­ dled the poor bishop back again into the shop. The proprietors, said tliat there was a very grave mis­ take here. The gentleman upon whom the constable had laid hands had just bought a bracelet for £100 and paid /for it with a note whose excellence, had been duly attested by the bank authorities.’ “Just let me look at that note, sir,” said the constable, unconvinced, lie scru­ tinized it closely. “ Ah, just as I, thought !’ *he exclaimed. “This note is one of a particularly clever batch of forgeries which are very difficult to detect, and-the man is no more a bishop than you arc. We will go off to the police station uf once.*- I will take the note and go oh with the prisoner in the carriage, and you must send your men in a cab to meet us and ghTe evidence.” So the policeman took his1 prisoner and the note and the necklace and.ivMrlcd' arvay in the carriage. Neither the bishop, the policeman, the note nor the bracelet has ever been seen or heard of since.—St. James Gazette, . Sister Hostesses. It cannot be denied that sisters make charming hostesses whenever one finds them keeping house to­ gether and hospitably inclined. For- one thing it is irgain to have tivo hostesses-instead of one, and sisters are accustomed to one another and can understand each other ivithout a Avord and instinctively feel Avhat is . going on. They can talk together [ of quite different things and yet keep tune. Many a sisterly shrine must occur to each one of us,with warming hearth and pleasant words of welcome. It matters not Avhether it is in Brighton or in London, past or present, or in .the murky Man­ chester or on ii Cornish crag or by some, distant Cumberland lake side.

When' the old navy yard was at the foot of Federal street one of the employees opened a boarding house in tjhe vicinity. One day a young man applied and On learning the terms said he ivould come with his trunk that night. When bedtime came the boarding house keeper and his family retired, but the new boarder had not put in an appear­ ance. Next morning they found the house had been robbed during the night, and on the table in the dining room was a note from the young man saying he had arrived according to promise; but, not lik­ ing the looks of things, he Avould not be back.—Philadelphia Ledger.
