MORE HORRORS IN BOSNIA
PRESIDENT, HAYES AND THE OLD
t".N'r RED QUILT.

During the Presidents visit to Rhode
Island two very pleasant incidents oc-
Cured. just after he arrived in That
State, word was conveyed to him
through Gov. Van 2 indt that worthy
gentleman OF Providence desired to have
Mr.. and Mrs. Hayes inspect very old
bed-quilt, and also that he desired that
they might rest beneath it. President
Hayes immediately granted permission
for the article to be brought, when Mr..
Conrad Ellery of Providence, produced
a. very large azure satin bed-quilt, not
particle faded, and in good condition,
which was made in the year 1887 by a
direct ancestor of Mr.. William Ellery.
who was the signer of the Declaration of
Independence from Rhode Island. MIR,
Conrad Ellery. the present owner, is 4
grandson OF the sigIer. This magnificent
article has never been used since 1t COW
er ed the form of the first President of
the United States, George Washington,
on the occasion of his last visit 10 New
port, just subsequent to the Revolution
ary times, when he slept in what was
then the Ellery House, since the Chan,
ming House, and at present occu pied by
the Engineer Department.. Since Wash
ington's sleeping there on tine last oc-
casion the quilt has not been used, al
| though ths friends of Gen. jackson,
when he visited Rhode Island, requested
permission to have him sleep under it,
but the owners, being such stern Repub-
hcahs, declined to accede to the REQ uest.
President and Mrs, Hayes did sleep un.
der it, and just before the Presidential
party left. Mrs. Hayes penned an auto
graph letter to Mr.. Conrad Ellery,
thanking Mr.. Ellery most heartily for
his kindness and trouble. The second
incident was the using of cut-glass
washbowl and pitcher which were
brought from Northern Europe by an
ancestor of Gov. Van Z4ndt, in whose
possession they now are. The last time
| these were used was in 1888, when An
drew Jackson washed his fingers in the
bow vi, upon the occasion of his being en-
tertained by Liept. Governor Collins,
who was the grandfather of the present
Governor of Rhode Island. This has
never been used until last Friday, when
Mrs. Van Zandt filed the bowl with
magnificent roses for Mrs. Hayes, who,
after taking the roses from it, requested
the President to wash his fingers, which
he did in the pure rose water.

In 1861 Miss Marie Matilda Kibbell

In 1861 Miss Marie Matilda Kibbell
lived with her parents, well-to-do peo-
pie, at Albion, New York. She met
and became infatuated with Chauncey
N. Niles, of Cleveland, and eloped
with him. To escape the search of her
relatives she donned male attire. Dur
ing the war she ''fred" an engine OF
which her husband was conductor. In
1872 he went to Chicago on business
and on his return to Cleveland was
shocked to hear of her sudden death
and burial. Strange to say within a
short time he has made the discovery
that his wife is not dead, but was dis

A Primitiye Extingui.her.

An old German woman, says the
indianapolis Sentinel, whs came here
not long ago, from the land where the
Swabians dwell. and who had never
seen a steam fire-engine, created quite
a scene at her abode, on South Delaware
street. She had her dough set to make
bread for supper, but on seeing so many
people running by the house and hear
ing the Changing of bells, she inquired
what the rumpus was all about. On
being informed, she ran into the house,
got two buckets, and then started In
the direction of the fire, having on only
short skirt and a small sack, with a
long blue handkerchief for a headdress.
By the time she arrived on the scene,
the fire was extinguished, but directly
afterward she heard the alarm from
another direction, and started for that
locality with other people. When she
arrived, she talked in her native tongue
TO all, and wanted TO know where the
bucket brigade was. Some German
lady asked her why. She said she had
come with her buckets ito help put out
the fire the way they do it in Schwoba-
land" There all the burgers come
with their pals and form procession
from the well 10 the house afiame.
Those on one side hand the water to the
others, and these empty the pals and
return them. The old lady was shown
the engines and other apparatus. She
thought that the engine was railroad
'masheen" to bring people TO help put
out the fire. She was disgusted with
our system, and did not get home until
after supper. Her husband was waiting
for her at the door, and was a little angry
because she had not his supper ready.
When she entered the kitchen, nearly
exhausted from the long trip, she looked
az her bread dough and found that il
had not risen. She called her better
half 10 look at il, and said: YETI
guckamold; dua bist gescheider gewessa
ais ich; ich bin begange, und du bist
nicht gegange." ''You had more sense
than I; went and you did not" The
word ''gegangen" is translated as
going, or more freely, rising. Her
husband laughed at her remark until
the tears came from his eyes.

A Horrible Punishment.

The Persian Government inflicts u ter
rible punishment upon robbers who are
captured by the authorities. BarbaTous
expedients are resOrted 10 in order 10
frighten them from their illegitimaTe
calling. OF fifty men who were re-
Gently captured, twenty-three had their
throats cut. Others were crucified, be
ing nailed to the walls of the town by
their hands aud feet, and then left Ia
perish slowly of exhaustion and starvs-
ton. Others again were buried alive III
pits of brick-wOrk, in which they were
placed erect, with their heads just above
ground. PiniOned and naked, the rob
bers were placed in these short, open
columns, and white plaster, not unlike
plaster-of-Paris, was then poured, neck
deep, over their bodies, around which il
set with the hardness of stone. In their
diving hours the miserable men We're
barbarously ill-treated on their exposed
and defenseless heads, by the rabble
and the soldiery of Shiraz. Despite the
adoption of these frightful measures for
the punishment of highway robbery,
the crime is of constant occurrence,
especially in Southern Persia, and, ex
cept in the most bitter weather in win
ter, the persons and effects of travellers
are in constant peril.

Prejudices.

The past generation of Enghshmen
has been so generous to Jews that we
should be ungrateful If we accused cul-
tured Englishmen of the present day of
being consciously repelled by the idea
of poor Jew being worthy of admira-
ton. But Is centuries of hatred are
not to be wiped out by any legislative
enactment. No one can say that the
fact of man being Jew makes no
more difference in other mems minds
than if he were SAY a Wesleyan. There
vet remains deep unconscious under
current of prejudice against the Jew
which conscientious Englishmen have
often to fight against as part of that
lower nature, a survival of the less per-
feet development of our ancestors which
impedes the ascent of men. Along with
this unconscious Judaophobia there
has gone the intellectual element of
tacit assumption that modern Judaism
is lifeless code of ritual instead of
living body of religious truth.-Ndc

This moelified his hosts indignation,

Mr.. Cooke" she answered from below,
II am gone to bed, and you can't have

get away, but was again thrust in his
chair, while Cooke reiterated his de-
mand for more punch. But Mrs. Burns
remained obdurate. Cooke took the jug

fragments of the broken furniture into

Thoroughly frightened, endeavored TO
make bolt, but was seized and dragged

Cooke and Mathews.

One night Mathews having played
Mordscdi to Cookies Sir Arcby -Ndcsdr-
cdsm in Macklin's ''Love la Mode'
much TO the latter's satisfaction, he was
invited to sup and share jug of whis-
key punch in the tragedian's room. The
young novice delightedly accepted the
invitation, thinking himself much hon
ored, and failed not TO pour forth those
laudatiOns upon his hosts talents which
were so grateful TO George Frederick's
ears. One jug of punch was quickly
emptied and second filled, and Cooke
began TO praise his guest in a patron
izing way. You are young" he said,
land want some one to advise and
guide you. Take my word for it, there
is nothing like industry and sobriety.
In our profession, dissipation is the
bane of youth, villainous company,
low company, leads them from study"
etc. Holding forth thus, the jug of
punch continued to disappear with
ever increased rapidity. Mathews arose
to leave, but was pushed back into his
seat again. ''You shan't stir; we'll
have one more cruiskeen lawn, my dear
fellow, and then you shall go to bed,"
said the tragedian, now growing very
drunk. You don't know me. The
world don't know me. Many an hour
that they suppose | have wasted in
drinking have devoted 10 the study of
my profession, the passions and all
their variations, their nice and imper-
ceptible gradations. You shall see me
delineate the passions of the human
mind by facial expression" The power
of the whiskey, however acting in di-
rect opposition to the will on his strong
and flexible features produced cOntor
tions and distortions of which he was
insensible. Mathews, a little hazy
himself from the potent liquor, half
alarmed, and yet with difficulty re-
pressing his laughter at these extra
ordinary grimaces, sat staring at him,
endeavoring to understand these define
ations, and wishing himself out of the
room. After each horrible face, Cooke
demanded with an air of intense self
''Well, Sir, and what is that?'

ews. without the remotest conception

"You're a blockhead," roared the

Then followed more contOrtions and
more questions, but Mathews never
guessed right. ''Now, Sir" said the
angry delineator at last, 81 will show
you something you cannot possibly mis-
take" And he made hideous face,
compounded of Satanic malignancy and
the leering of drunken satyr. whats

Naples as IL Is

If the human and outward life OF
Naples is interesting from its variety
and color, the things which are to be
seen there and the places TO visit-the
treasures of art and the beauties of
nature - are beyond the power of
words to render in anything like their
perfection of glory and grandeur. The
museum alone would justify a whole
volume of eulogies; and, after all had
been said, what would there not remain
of subtitle and untranslatable beauty in
that exquisite fragment of the Psyche
surely the very idea of budding maiden
hood-in the Venus of Capula and the
Farnesse Flora; in the majestic figure
of Eschines and the playful faneies of
the Nereid on her sea horse and the
Cupid diving with the dolphin; in that
pathetic table of four small figures
the wounded Gaul, Something like the
dying Gladiator in Rome), the dying
Amazon, the dead Persian, and the
dead Titan - taken from the vOtive
offerings on the Athenian Acropolis
which were the present of Attalus?
That museum of Naples place to be
visited lovingly and Often-is subject
to be avoided by all writer's who un-
derstand the futility of language and
the unelasticity of space. But were
nothing else to be seen hereabouts, it
would be worth the whole journey
from England to this beautiful bay-"a
fragrant of heaven to earth vouchsafed"
simply to study such masterpieces as
the old workers in bronze and marble
have left US, and which it possesses.
But add to this such view as that of
San Martino, from Camaldoli, from the
Chiara itself; and the quaint things to
be found in the churches; and even the
oddity of the superstitions; and the ex-
cursions to be made to the countries
lying arOund-and one can understand
how the old saying came to be taken
seriously, and the 'Vedi NdpoH poi
nsori'' was a recognized confession of
unapproachable superiority.
Take that little excursion to Canal
doll alone-what charming afternoon
it gives one! Those who like can hire
donkeys for the four miles which lie
between the stopping places Of the car
riages and the monastery; but those

After Breakfast.

There is no period at which the feel
ing of leisure is more delightful one
than after breakfast on q summer
morning in the country. 1t is slavish
and painful thing to know that Instant
ly you rise from the breakfast table
YOU must take to your work. In that
state your mind will be fretting and
worrying away all the time the hurried
meal lasts. 1t is delightful to breakfast
leisurely; then 60 out and saunter in
the garden; walk down to the water
and give the dogs a swim; sketch out
kite, to be completed in the evening;
TO stick up a new colored picture In the
nursery, and to do this and more with
the sense that there is no neglect-that
you can easily overtake your days
work.-Irrfn0.

Adaptability.

A. general thing, lads have their
own ideas concerning the occupation
they desire to follow in life, and are
grievously disappointed If circumstan-
ces prevent them from following the
bent of their inclinatiOns. Ii is true
that the natural bent is of service in
helping TO decide on a calling for life.
And yet, come to think of il, IL is very
hard to pick out the tastes that were
born with US, and those that come by
early education. Daniel Webster would
have followed the sea if his father had
not turned his mind in an opposite di-
rectiOn. He set his two boys TO argue
cases with one another. His first case
was in behalf of a captive woodschuck,
which they had in a trap. Zeke was
for drowning il, and made out very
good case. But when it came Daniels
turn he put quite another face on the
question. His appeal was so effective
that the old man roared out ''Zeke, do
you let that woodchuck gO!" A great
scotsman and florist said he never took
any interest in plants until he bought a
geranium to help sell his painted flower
pots. That one went off so quickly that
he bought two more and placed in his
window, which were likewise quickly
sold. From these small beginnings
grew up large and prosperous busi-
ness. He was settled in life before he
began the study of plants and flowers,
but ne carried his practical knowledge
to rare extent. And yet he began
without any particular ''fancy for it,"
The fact is, there is wonderful adapta-
bility in the human mind to almost
anything resolutely required of it.
Like the old Indian who was laboriously
munching very hard crust, and was
asked if he liked il, he replied. at is
my victual and will like him, - So,
boys, say, ''It is my work and | will
like him." If it is right and honorable
work you will be sure TO succeed.
