MAYOR KErLEY's SPEEcH.-"The Mayor
made one fine rhetorical flight in his speech at
the British banquet which the sharp quill
of the DispatcPs critic will not belittIe, nor
yet, we think, seek to belittle. Speaking of
the reverence and allegiance which every
true man feels for every true woman, the
orator said that the sentiment "Was old
when the world was young, and would be
young when the world was DID," We
thought the expression and the idea alike
beautiful, and both were entirely fresh aud
new to us. Does not our critic agree with
this favorable judgment "-Petersbur Ap.

The history of the pine apple dates back
tor three or four centuries Columbus found
it in Guadalupe in 1888 The Japanese cul-
tivatcd 1t as early as 1899, and il is supposed
that il was first brought To Europe from Java.
1t appears that this fault was transplan,ed
from South America TO ASIA and A frica for
in 1892 il was carried To Bengal and China
from that country. 1t thrivcs IN Brazil, and,
according to Humboldt, grows wild in the
forests of the OrinOco. They spoil very cas-.
lily, and sometimes during the voyage here
the whole cargo of "A vessel is spoiled. 1t is
considered good trip if threc-quarters ofthe
cargo is in good condition when the vcsse,

length OF tho voyage, but also on the bad
weather experienced, thunder showers being
particularly destructive TO them. 1t is csti
mated that 4, 100000 pine apples are brought
into this port annually. The business oi can

The sherman Family.

Says the Washington correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Gazette:
Mrs. General Sherman is dcvout Catholic,
as well as her daughters, Minnie and Lizzie.
| In her chamber is a prt6dieH much worn
| from constant use. and an altar on which are
candle and cruCitiX. She is one of the most
consistent women, whatever may be her be
lief, and her hand is open as day to melting
charity. She always Identifies herself with
all progressive Christian movements for the
benefit OF the poor, the outcast, or the suffer
| ing. She lives about two miles from the cen
! ire of the town, on | street, but ii is worth n
! two mile walk in snow storm to receive the
hearty warmth of welcome with which she
grects her friends. She stands near the door,
a fat, round, little person, with dark hair fall
| ing in two long curls on each side her bright
but homcly face She has such motherly
way of holding young girls hand and after
a few minutes conversation, saying: "Now
90 right into the other room, where my
daughters and the young people are, and you
will be shown where the retreShment table is"
And her refreshment table, by the way, is well
laid and supplied.
Miss Minnie has pale, sweet, nun-likc
face, and is one of the few young ladies with
sufficient independence and moral courage to
wear her hair simply, without frizzing or be-
ing faShonably got up, and to attend several
parties IN succession in the same dress, be
cause she chooses to do so, and wants to see
whether she could not enjoy herself as well
as if arrayed in different garments on each
occasion,
The General is an odd genius, yet great
fayorite with old and young. lie is cXtrava-
gantly fond of dancing, and some one wit
tily remarked: lie never steps lower
than the back of chair, nor higher than the
chandelier" He is quite ungraceful, but en-
tiers into the pastime with such real relish and
earnest enjoyment that one can excuse his
walking half way up ones train or in the
height of his delight carrying the greater
portion of ones prettiest tiounce half way
across the room, or, in the Lancers for in
stance, "a dance by that nameD persistently
going the wrong way in the grand chain, there

There is one thing that Jew does not do
have remarkable funeral, with fife and drum
AND all the resources of the livery.stables
AT the recent burial of Baron Rothschild
there was simply hearse, with thirty car.
rlageS Tor relatives and dependents. No pc.
lice, no Mason, no society. On arrival of the
procession at the cemetery (Which is called in
Hebrew THE House of the Living') the body
was conveyed into the mortuary house where
the usual Jewish burial service-composed
principally of extracts from Scripture and the
Psaims-was read IN Hebrew by Rev. Benja-
min II. Aschcr. AS the body was lowered
into the earth the bystanders exclaimed in
Hebrew, May his soul rest in peace" The
relatives then approached the grave and threw
some earth upon the coffin, in which act they
were followed by nearly all present On the
mourners being once more assembled in the
mortuary house, the burial service was
brought to conclusion with the recital in
Hebrew Of Psalm xci. twas noticeable that
the collin, thought strewn with flowers, was
devoid of all ornament, name plates and
mourning hardware being tabooed, if not
prohibited, by Jews; nor did the mourners
wear hatbands, or any other conventional
expression of grief.

Mrs. Astor, the wife Of the hundred-million-
aire of New York, appeared at party when
she gave at her Fifth avenue residence, the
other evening, in style which would justify
any reporter in saying that she "ltierally
bazed all over with diamonds" On each
of her shoulders she had four stars the size
OF silver half dollars, made of diamonds Her
hair was set very thickly with diamonds, and
her head seemed ahame with them. There
was diamond bandeau upon her brow. She
had diamond earrings, and diamond neck
lace OF magnificent proportions. Upon the
two sides OF her chest were two circles of dia-
mOndS, about the size of the palm of the hand,
From them depended lines and curves Of
diamonds reaching to the waist round which
she wore diamond girdle. On the skirts of
her dress in front were two large peacocks
wrought in lines of diamonds There were
rosettes of diamonds on her slippers. There
were diamonds large or small, but in every
variety of form, all over her dress and person,
wherever they could be artistically placed.
She presented an extraordinary and dazzling
spectacle as she moved languidly through the
dance among her friends. One of the ladies
present IA connoisseur in precious stones,
who kept cool enough to take practical OBJ
servation, says the diamonds she wore could
not have cost less than Il million dollars, and
must have represented her husbands income
for at least quarter of year. The same
lady, who is familiar with court life in Eu.
rope, says that the largest collection of dia-
mOnds in possession of any European En-.
press or Queen belongs to the present
German Empress; but she adds that even
Augusta herself could not make diamond
show which would begin to compare with
that made by Mrs. Astor-N Y. Paper

The Spectator, in its notice of NJ. Pouchet
work, "Thc Universe" says: Man gener.
ally hatters himself that his anatomy is about
the highest effort Of Divine skill; yet that OF
the insect Is tar more complicated. No pOr
ton of our organism can compare with the
proboscis of the common fly. Man can boast
$40 muscles. Lyonet, who spent his whole
life in watching single species of caterpil
lar, discovered in it4,O00. The common fly
has 5000 eyes, and certain butterflies $4,000
NJ Pouchet treats it as an established fact that
so fine are the censOry organs Of ants, that
they converse by means of their antennP
Consequently, the strength and activity of in
sects far surpass ours in proportion. In the
whole field of natural science there is moth
ingmore astounding than the number ortimes
a fly can clap its wings in second. AS fly
passes through space at the rate of six feet in
a second, it must in that point of time vibrate
its wings 500 or 600 times. But in rapid
flights we are required to believe $500 is a
moderate estimate. The mind is supplied if
it attempts to realize these results.

The death OF two noteworthy English duCh
eSses has lately been announced The Dow
ager Duchess Of Richmond was daughter OF
the famous Marquis of Ange.ey, who com.
mandcd the cavalry at Waterloo and there lost
a leg. His children were remarkable for their
beauty and their matrimonial difficulties
most of them betraying an unfortunate pre-.
objection, according to their respective sexes,
tor the wives or husbands of other people
But the Duchess of Richmond was, on the
contrary, lady of spotess reputation, rever-
ed by all around her One of her sons was
lost on the President, on his way from New
York to Liverpool, and this gave a shock to
his mother from which she did not for years
recover When all hope had fled from others
| she still cherished it, and would sit hour af.
ter hour at her window waiting and hoping
for the wished-tor news.
The Duchess of Buckingham and Chandos,
whose death is also announced, is wife Of the
present Duke, whose early life was so heavily
clouded by the utter wreck of his fathers for
tune, necessitating the sale of ever table and
chair he had in 1913. Great sympathy was
felt with the present Duke, then the Marquis
of Chandos, whose behavior from the first to
last under most trying circumstances has
been admirable. The lady just deceased was
daughter of Sir Robert Harvey, a Bucking-
,
but no son, so that in the event of the Duke
dying without male issue the dukedom will
for the fourth time, for quite a fatality seems
to attend it, become extinct, although an in.
ferior title will pass to the female heir.
The last duke of the original line of the
Statfords was beheaded by Henry VIII. The
dukedom was then revived in favor of the
Villiers family, and Pope has COMMUNICATED
the end of the last duke of that line in the
well-knOwn words:
In the worst inns worst room, with mat hat hung
The walls plaster and the floor OF dung.
Great Villiers lies, alas how changed from him,
That gla>, OF fashion and that soul OF whm.
After this the family of Sheffield was raised
to the dukedom, which again expired towards
the middle of the last century.
Buckingham Palace was the town resi-.
dencc of the family and bought from the
Duke by George the Third. Hence its name
Although Stowe, the Duke of Buckingham's
princely seat was actually Quilted of its con-
tents in 1913, the place itself remained in the
Dukes hands, and the present peer, having
in considerable degree repaired the fallen
fortunes of his family, in which he was much
assisted by splendid bequest from his moth
ers brother, the late Lord Breadaldane, has
in measure refitted Stowe and brought back
some of its scattered treasures to their old
honey Y World.
