AN AMERICAN PALACE At NEWPORT
During the past winter, 10 costly edifces
have been constructed at Newport, r. l.,
some of them at an expense of $500, 900.
One of these. the Loring Andrews man
sion, on Bellvue avenue, is built on an i'm
mense scale. The style is that of the
imposing Swiss house, and it is broken
into numberless projecting bays, balconies,
galleries, etc., with an indefinitely varied
and picturesque sky line; the whole being
surmounted by crest railing in harmony
with the structure. The rooms are ele-
gantly decorated, but in wholly different
styles-all, however, in keeping
general design and a grading of color,
from the brightest efforts to the most cool
and refreshing hues. The ceiling of the
first story are 10 feet in hight, those of the
second 13 feet, and of the third IL feet,
with a central room 20 feet in hight. The
halls are wainscotted in hard wood OF
different colors, and the floors are Of mar
queterie and eDcaustic tiles. The parlors
are finished in white aud gold the recep-
ton rooms in cretonne; the drawing room
IN bird d's-eye maple, with ceiling in blue
and gold; and the library in black walnut
and ebony. Its owner Is one Of New

ANEcDoTE OF GREELEY.-Among the
good stories told at the expense of Mr.
Gresley's chirography is this: Years ago.
when a young man, he received a poem
from a young lady in Vermont. He strong
ly suspected that all poetry was nonsense,
especially if the lines did not square at
both ends, and as this particular poem did
not come up to his peculiar mechanical
standard for such literature, he threw it in
the waste basket, and wrote to the author
that he thought she would do better to
marry the first honest man that offered her
his hand, and mind his hose and tend his
babies, than to rack her brain in trying
to write rhymes that nobody would read.
The poor girl received the cruel letter, but
could not decipher only the writer's name.
She showed it to her mother, and she too
was non-plussed. a council of inquiry was
held over the strange document, which was
finally interpreted as proposal to marry
the author of the rejected rhymes. After
some inquiry into the character of MIR.
Greeley, the proposal was accepted, great
ly to the surprise Of the young editor, who
was so much pleased with the prize he had
won that he bought the white hat and
overcoat he has worn ever since, and wa:
married forthwith.

CALIFORNIA FOR INvALIDs-lhe coast
Of southern California Is said to be becom-
ing q resort for invalds suffering from
pulmonary affections, and with great bene-
fit in many cases According to a tourist
there are three spots in southern Califor-
MIA which possess a climate peculiarly
adapted for incipient consumptives, viz, /:
San Bernardino, at the foot Of the coast
mountains and about sixty miles from Los
Angeles, and Santa Barbara and San
Diego, on the sea coast. They all three
lie between latitude thirty-two degrees
and thirty-fve degrees north, and have
very mild and equable winter climate, not
liable to the trying vicissitudes of weather
which render some sea coast cities so ex-
au sting to invalids. San Bernardino is
described as being far superior in climate
to Akin or to the far famed Mentone, the
favorite resort Of European consumptives
and Of those afflicted with throat disease.
A case is cited of gentleman who had
been consumptive for some years, and had
struggled for his life in a winter residence,
for two years, at Nice and Mentone, and
third year at Akin, in South Carolina.
He was losing strength fast, and last sum-
mer suffered so severely from night sweats,
sleeplessness, continual coughing and lack
of appetite, that it was doubtful whether
he would live through the winter any
where. He went to San Bernardino. and
by the following January was able to travel
sixty miles over a rough road, walk sever
al miles the same evening, eat heartily
and sleep well, with scarcely any cough al
all. He attributes this surprising change
entirely TO the climate, and mentions many
persons of both sexes who had reapec
similar benefit from it. There is also tht
testimony of physician who had removed
from New York, where he was constantly
prostrated by throat disease, to this new
haven of convalescense. and there he sool
recovered his health, and has retained it il
s perfect order ever since The Philadel
e phia Ledger, in giving these facts, feels i
its duty to add that, while it had hearC
e many apparently well-authenticated state
a ments of consumption cured or checkeC
by residence in southern California, i
g has sorrowful knowledge Of at least on
' instance of lady, who, after trying SAINT
Barbara for prolonged period, returne,

which she parried with her hand, b1t the
blow broke her thumb. Her cries brought
assistance, and he was prevented from infic-

from Grand Juror TOmbs, Bose was arres-

stating to the court that his wife had tried
to poison him with chloroform, and that she
carried it around in her hand and kept

TEACH LOVINGLY The man who never
smiles has no divine call to the Sunday
school ministry. The halfhour on the
Lords day is not the only time we teach.
\ kind word, loving look, a shake of the
hand teaches. Never pass your scholar
without Don't call Jim, Peter, when
every boly calls him Tim. Ask names and
use them. Seek out homes, and visit them.
Learn ages, companions names, as well as
those of the parents. If you are interest
ed in your scholars, they will be in you.
If you treat them well, they will you. Your
manifest love will make them study at
home bring them early to school, and keep
them IN order while there. A look from
you will often be better than dismissal.
If you are not well, they will be attentive
out Of sympathy. Ii the questions are
hard they will listen to the explanation out
of respect. If you are absent, little hands
will pull the door-bell on Monday. Thus
before you commence the lesson, their
hearts are in your hands. They have
given you what the Master wants, and
you as his servant can easily direct them
to him. BE in earnest; love always IS;
Aim at their hearts love always does.
BE personal, because you love each one
personally. Speak in tender tones. You
may find a tear on your hand. Good
That mirrors your love, and is more con-
vincing than language. The child who

In Berlin itself everything is now ready for

and steadily increases, having from 1907 to

it appears to be working its way from Russia
