.\D you been liv¬ ing ill Brintol in the year IKllO. Villi must fre¬ quently have rnn up against nbl V e r e k e r, who then spent most ot his time prowling nbout the streets nf tbat west-eounlry me- Iropolis. He Was a mart wbo could not fail to attract attention, by reason both of his striking old-fashioned at¬ tire—llf the style which John Leech has made immortal—and nf his disre¬ gard of auch everyday nmenitie* as barber's srls.sors and soap and water; for a mure unkempt and dirty looking old aristocrat than ,Ian Vereker wns surely never seen in the public streets, He was a younger son of Sir Hildiliras Vereker, seveiilh baronet, whose fam¬ ily was aminig the best in Oloucester- shire; though to be sure, tbis Bovculh bfti-finet's lady, nnd Jaa's molUer, was n sumoivhnt obscure foreigner, a native uf .\nlwcr|).
In bis yiiiitli he bad been a painter, wllll, but for his desultory disiMisitiou, might have achieved great success; and he bad studied in half the art sehnols of Kurope. But he bad now priietii-ally iibauiloned tbis iirnfesKion, and devoted his whole lime and ener¬ gies to bis pet hobby -the collection of ciii'ios. No suit of rarity came amiss to liim. Old paintings, nld china, old coins, gems, furniture, what¬ not, appealed to bis aniiiiuariun tastes. Indeed, at one time or anothor, be had been over a great )iart of Kurope in <|UC8t of such treasures; though latter¬ ly bis efforts ha.l been chiefly conflned to his unlive land. He never fre- ijiiented the large Bbojis or the em¬ poriums of professional doAJers, for bis purse was not loug enongft to en¬ able him lo buy recognized articles of vertii at fancy prices. But be was ever exploring little all-iyirt shojis, aud tbe cnttages nf working men and country villages, wbere be stood somo cbnnie of picking up n good thing for next lo nothing. With this end in view, be wus perpetually traveling about and working from different centres, until be became cnnversant with half the towns and villages in Oreat Britain.
Whenever be went awny for a tour of exploration, bo wns alwoys   careful liitiausfor bis most valuable articles— such,   IIS   least,   ns   were likely lo be stolen—to   Ibe    safe    cnslmlv   of    his bankers.     Tlieso   were chieliy  in   the way nf old coins, gems and plate.   Ibit bi-stdes   these   Ihere    was    one    thing which always   went   lo the bank, and which be evidently regarded ns by  far the   111.ist   precious of   all  his   pnsses- siiiiis    .1 small and   very   croi'ked  and l,'iiiiiy   iHirtiait   in   oils.     His acipiisi- limi nf tbis painting   wus   a   sniirce of- iiiiliniiinleil  (iride  nnd self-cnngratula- linn In old Vereker.     He bad picked it up ut n little em|Hiriuiu of rubbish   in Antwerp fnr u few florins.      When   be liniigbt it, tbe canvas  had presented u flaring   and   abniiiiiinble   daub  of   the Ma.loiiiin.      Hut   ,Iau   Vereker's jiruc- ! tii-i'd eye bad t.ild bim   that   this   was j nnly n seeiindary use to Mhicb   it   had ' lieen put.

For James Iwisierwa* bimself soniFthiug of a viitmiso and a •elitdoi o( cuTHUi anti waa diAbUU,
moreover, by bis wealth, to gratify this taste pretty freely.
One moruing, nfter an absence {rom Bristol I .'almut three months, tbe nld fellow turned np nt Ibe bonk, and asked to see his friend the manager. He was shown into Mr. Uosier's private room. When they had excbaiiged Ihe usual greetings and a few mutual civili¬ ties. Jail prncceded lo uufold the na¬ ture of his business.
"Tbe fact is, Mr. Rosier." snid Ibe old gentlemuii, "I want some money. I have an opportunity of buying sniiio extremely valilttlile works nf nrl nt a flgiu'e far below their real value: bnt it i* necessary thut I should pay cash down for tbem. I'niess I can produce the money to-morinw I may very likely lose them."
"Umplil How mncb do you want 111 overriruw "
"Two tliiiuiftnil jiiiiinds."
The mniiaKer whistled. From ft man of nld Vereker's means euch a request seemed to hini to border on the auda- ciiiiis.
"A fall order, niV dear sir. We could not possibly allow such au overdraft without security."
"Xo. I did not suppose thnt you would. I )iriiposo to offer you security, though 1 niliiiit that Ihc security is of ft sonicwlint iliiiisinil Hinracter, Ynu already have my Van Dyck portrait in your custoily. Whatever its value, il is considerably in excess of £201)0. Will you allow Ibat to stuud as my bo- ciirity for the overdraft'/'
"I'm afraid not, Jlr. Vereker. It is cnntrary t-i nur practicii to wCept se- Ciirity of Ibis descriptiiiU, If,vou could deposit scrip witb us, now, or title deeds, or obtain a satisfactory personal guarontee—'
"I cannot," interposed old Vereketi "Nnti Bt least, at a moment's Uotice. Benidesi Ibis picture is worth ns much as all the rest of my effects put to¬ gether. Only four days ago a Bristol liriu offered' me £-4000 for it—the Messrs, "
With  tbis  assurance  the   manager
consented  to   interview Messrs,  ',
with th^ result that nexl morning Mr. A'erekei' had ft note from Messrs, Ros- iei" i't Sons, advising  bim that, on thc
Btrength of Messrs.  's valuation of
bis Van U.vck, tbey were willing io hold Ihe picture as security for the propoaeit overdraft of £2000, aud re¬ questing bim to call at the bank nnd coni)ily witb certain rciinisitc formal¬ ities. This he dnly did, and the or- rangements fnr the overdraft xvere completed.
Now, Juu Vereker, ns bos been men¬ tioned, bad named two miuiths as the period of his overdraft. Ho made it good, however, within six weeks and took his Van Dyck back tn bis house. From a commercial stnndpoint, his promptness should have beeu bailed witb satisfuetion by James Rosier. .\s n fact, however, it was not. Truth to lell, the banker had cherished a half hope thnt old Vereker might fail to re- pny the advance; and that ho (Rosier) wonld gel the chanco of obtoining tho picture nt about half its market value.
A innnlh nr so later, .Tan Vereker started nlV on ono of his periodical inurneys, having, as usual, deposited his Van Dyck u;j;niu with Hosier's for safe custody. Soon nfter his return he paid another visit to tho ninunger nf the bunk and ask fnr another loan of £'iOO0 on the picture, whicll was readily grunted bim for three months.
The three months went by withont any conimnniculion from Jnu Voreker being received nt tho bank. By the terms on whicli Ibe overdraft bad been allowed, Messrs. Rosier .t Sons xvere einjKiwercd—did they so wish it—to deal with Ihe seeurily wheu fifteen dnys nflcr tho speeifled term hnd elapsed. During theso last fifteen days tho manager remained in a stale of scoreelv concenlod restlessness nnd excitement. He wns expecting n cnll or n iMiiiimunicntiou from Vereker every diiv, and at the same time hoping that be should nnt receive either. Ho bnd dolermineil to stand upon the letter of the agreenieiit. To do sn might, no doubt, bo considered rnther sharp practice.
And .Tanies Rosier's wish Vns actu¬ ally fullllleil. The flfteen days of grace eluiiseil. No cnmiiiunii'aliiin nrrived from .Thu Vcreki-r. On Ibe murning of tbe sixl 'cntli duy, Ibe manager tnnU his stnnd iipnii the'sirii-t letter nf tlic ngreemenl. He jiuid £'20110, plus in¬ terest, inln llieiiartuersbip ai-count nut of bis own pni'ket. And thus be nc- qiiired old Vereker's Van Dyck nt less than half its value.
There wns nn nec.l. ns it luruedoul, fnr tbe liaiiUi-r tn bavo been iu sucb a hurry Fnr ilnys and weeks went by. un.l still .lull Vcri'ker remuined absent un.l silent.

Tn preparing cbocnlute u paste should flrst bo made. The propnrtinu in making chiicolat«> is ono square of chocolate to ono tablesponnful of but water. This is stirred smnoth ill tho dnnblc bnilcr, cbuflng dish, or what¬ ever utensil is used for making it, nnd then tho milk or milk nnd wnler niideil. Tbo propnrtinu of half water to the ebocnliito makes it more digesti- ble. Allow one cnp nr one-half pint of liquid to the square nf cbocolntc. The water is first added to'the paste S«*«x^ell   cooked.     There   is   nnt  the
-^ 'V^to the chocolate, nnd it is tr»^^ ' ^ delicnte if the milk is nnt Cnnki., «ter being poured iu, but merely allowed to become thoroughly hot. No scum arises ou tlie ebocoluto when the ))uste is first made. JThe paste is convenit'iil. It can be made and kept on hand, pncked in a smnll china vessel, for twn or three days, and usijd when desired. The choco¬ late should be well beaten with an egg beater, tho dish being placed on the back of the rnnge if convenient, before serving.

'  The Cli-.lf-e of Floor Coverliiirs,
For linusewiveH of moderiitu means with ono servant, living in a small house or apartments, rooms can be kept clean with less labor if the floors or mnrgins of tbem are stained nnd tho centre covered with a rug, which can bo lifted every few- weeks and taken lo the ynnl nr rnnf and Nbakeii and tborniighly brushed. A gnnd Smyrna rug will stand hnrd weur for ten years—longer than thc best carpet will present a respectable nppenrance. 1
Fnr bedrooms, whether fnr city or ! country, it bus long been concede.1 that matting is the best, cheapest ami ninst sanitary und artistic substitute.

It is more than possible, liowex-cr, that matting, which has so loug hehl tho fleld, will be superseded by acoin- parntivelv new material called "floor flbre." it is as flexible as Ibe best Chineso malting, is neat nnd iiiiob- trusivo in design, comes in many soft colors, and can bo sewed together nnd bound liko carpet.

According to a correspondent of the Tribune, Queen Olga of Oreece, w ho is a most systematically energetic woman, employs a great )>ortion of her time iu works of practical idiilanthropy, devoting nu hour or two every day to Ihe greot Evongelismos Hosjiitol in Athens, which she created and mau- agos in person. Whnt is eveu umro remarkable, perhaps, is tho fact that Iho Queen acknowledges in writing, in her own hand, each contribution for tbo hospital, bow-ever insignificant. Almost every other charitable institu¬ tion iu the Hellenic kingdnm owes its origin to her. If philanthropy be n "fad" in royal circles, it is certainly n most excellent form of aniuseiueut. But In fho cnso of Queen Olgn, xvho tnxes uol onlv her purse, but nlso ber lieisnnality in works of charily, the nintivo for effort is ap]>arently Ihc deeper one of sincere love for Ood nnd for humnuily.—New York Observer.
