President T,ler,s Granddaughter.

The story of Jennie Tyler, grand
daughter Of ex-President Tyler, who
died at her home Of want and wretched-
ness in Brooklyn, is a very sad one. 1t
was told a reporter OF the herald by
Mrs. Charlotte Rice, sister Of her hus-
band, VIM. Collins, as follows:
The child OF wealthy parents and
Boosting a lineage as proud as any In the
and, s%plendidly educated and a pet in
the highest social circles, she was, be-
fore her girlhood was passed, betrayed,
disowned, cast out. Deluded into a
mock marriage in Brooklyn by a man
named Jennings n despoiled of her
property, she was left to beggary and
starvation, or worse. Jennie Tyler was
born in Richmond in 1913; her girlhood
was passed on her fathers plantation in
Mississippi; she was educated in a con-
vent, and in 1872, when her cousin,
John w. Stevenson, was United States
Senator from Kentucky, she was intro
duced into Washington society. 1t was
soon after the last event that she made
the acquaintance of Jennings and mar
ried him. A few months wrought the
misery and downfall of the bright, vi
yacious and intelligent young girl. For
the next two or three years nothing of
her history is known by the public ex-
cept that she was disowned by her
family, and, as Mrs. Rice declares,
harshly turned away from her sisters
door when she went TO beg for bread
and protection. 81 went with her to
her sisters house." said Mrs. Rice, "but
the door was slammed in her face. |
told her to come away with me, and
that is how she became my brothers
wife"
MIR. Collins sat with his dead, and
never ceased talking of her g~entleness,
her virtues and her accomplishments.
There was no mistaking the fact that
this poor laboring man was proud of
his talented and high born wife. "She
was too fine a woman for a poor man
to marry" he said; 'she was fit for a
prince. But she never complained OF
her hard lot she was never unhappy in
her poverty. Nor did l ever hear her
say an unkind word of her rich rela-
tions who had disowned her." After
Mrs. Collins death her father, w. ".
Tyler, telegraphed his coincidence to the
husband, and a rich relative sent him
S25 to help pay the funeral expenses.

Historic Slang,

How common is the expression, "Ohl
she is down in the dumpsn-that is out
of spirits. This is a very ancient slang
phrase, and is supposed to be derived
IRON "Dumpos, King of Egypt, who
built n pyramid and died Of melan-
choly :" so that the thieves and gypsies
are not all to blame for having given us
a few expressive words.
We nextcome upon a word full of pa
thetic meaning for many of us; 1t is the
ghost that haunts and pursues us more
or less throughout the year-it is the
word "dun." 1t is a word of
quence, for it is at once a verb and a
noun. and is derived from the Saxon
word "dunan," to din or clamor. 1t
owes its immortality-so tradition says
to having been the surname of one Joe
Dun, a famous bailiff of Lincoln, in the
reign OF Henry VII, who was so active
and dexterous in collecting bad debts
that when any one became "slow to
pay" the neighbors used to say, Dun
him"-that is, "send Dun after him."
"Draw it mild" and Come it
strong" have their origin in music, be-
ing the terms used by the leader of an
orchestra when he wished bis violin
players to play loudly or gently. From
this they have passed into synonyms for
exaggerators and boosters, who are re-
quested either to moderate their state
ments or to astonish theiraudience.
The word coach" in these days. lisa
familiar one, as parents know who have
to employ tutors to assist their sons to
swallow the regulation amount of
"cram" necessary for competitive ex-
animation. The word is OF university
origin, and can boast of a logical etymol-
ogy. 1t is a pun upon the term get
ting on fast" To get on fast you must
take a coach; you cannot get on fast in
learning without a private ~tutor-ergo,
a private tutor is a coach.
Another familiar word in university
slangis "a regular brick"-that is, ajolly
good fellow and how the smile is logi-
cally deducted is amusing enough. A
brick is deep-red, so a deep-read man
is a brick. To read like a brick, is to
read until you are deep-read. A deep
read man is, in university phrase, "a
good man !" a good man is a jolly feI-
low" with non-reading men-eryo, a
oily fellow is q brick"

A Narrow Escape-

The particulars of Mr.. Edwin Arnold
and family's escape from drowning in
the Nile are related by the Egyptian Ga
sette. On the vessel were his wife,
daughter and son, and fifteen other per
sons beside himself. A hurricane cap
sized it, very much as the yacht Mo-
hawk was capsized, only in this instance
the entire party was thrown into the
water. Mr.. Arnold supported his wife
until she could be drawn up on the
wreck. His son was shut in by the
wreck, but sprang clear, and swimming
well reached the keel. Miss Arnold, a
young lady of eighteen years, whom her
father, while swimming, believed to be
too surely lost, as she was in her berth
when the vessel capsized, escaped by
wonderful presence Of mind through
her cabin window, and was found by
her father, to his ~unspeakable delight,
sitting on the wreck in her night dress
only. The vessel seemed sinking, and
the small boat was fast; it took Mr..

little penknife to sever the rope attach
ing it. When this was done, and he
had controlled his Arabs, who would
have crowded into her, three strong
rowers were put on board together with
the two ladies, two Nubian boys and an
invalid sailor. The small boat was
sent off, Mr.. Arnold and his son, who
behaved very firmly, remaining with
the rest of the crew. The wreck thus
lightened kept afloat till the boat came
back, and all were eventually taken off
alive except the cook Achmet, who had
fist fallen overheard, and whom MI.

Just before lie was himself hurled into

O congratulations on all sides. Arab sail

must probably have been lost but for
the firm conduct of the English gentle
mar and the quiet courage of the two
ladies, who were afterward obliged to
walk six miles over the mountain bare
footed and half dressed.

PredestinatiOn,

An old-time Baptist preacher Of this

on the faith, has Just had a little expe-
rience with a colored man that causes
him to think very seriously. Meeting

Notes.

Cream color will be much worn
Persian colors are shown in lace for
trimmings.
Polonaises will be worn with plain
skirts of velvet or corduroy.
Polo caps to match ulsters are worn by
young ladies when travelling.
Medium shades of wood color and
gray are revived for kid gloves.
Creamy white bonnets are more worn
than any others for full dress.
The newest Breton lace has the design
darned in with silk instead Of thread.
Wide scarfs of thick, soft silk are
worn, fastened sultana fashion, below
the waist.
A square kerchief of India muslin with
a wide hem and an edging of Languedoc
lace is worn around the neck, either in
the house or street.
Black lace fraises are worn by
ladies of fair complexion, and the same
lace is plated around the wrists of the
sleeve, and worn without any white
frills inside.
Wide'trimmed Tuscan straws will oc-
cupy the place in summer millinery that
the fur felt has done the past winter.
They will be pinched into all shapes, as
were the felts.
Flowers are now fastened on the left
side of muslin and lace fichus, and the
spray extends to the back of the neck
when worn, while a large bunch Of
larger buds is placed low down in front.
Double and triple collars are not only
used for CONNECTIONS, but for suits also.
Sometimes the upper part of the waist
consists of a kind of inserted putting Of
faille Or satin, which trims the square
opening in the neck, and the double
collar is placed around this opening.
Praises are larger and fuller than any
yet introduced, and are finished with a
anticipating of lace that lies fiat
around below the neck, while the rib
bon d~og-collar is tied close about the
throat. Many fichus are made with
fraises also, while those that have not
this finish are now fastened very low
down on the corsage.
Collars hold a very prominent part in
the present fashions, and there are many
kinds to be seen. There are jet collars,
"Mazarin" collars made of plated
black and white lace, the large "Anne
d'Autriche" collar, of handsome gui-
pure or "point a l'Aigulle" lace, and
many other styles of batiste and muslin
trimmed with lace.
The latest Partisan couture for young
girls under fifteen is to crimp the whole
of the hair, brush it out smoothly
and then braid it in one long plat or
braid fastened at the nape of the neck
with a soft ribbon bow. Another bow
is placed some distance below, around
the braid, and the hair below the final
bow is arranged in light curls.
White shoes are worn with colored
dresses, the stockings being embroidered
to match the skirt, or having Valen-
ciennes lace lot in. The embroidery on
boots and shoes is ever on the increase.
But newer than all are the silver anklets
which some women are found hardy
enough to wear. They are copied from
Eastern patterns.

True Stories about Animals.

"Do you know" said the spotted
horse, who is considered a great philoF-
opher by the rest OF the menagerie,
"that the groomiest hour is iust before

The zebra said that "ihese remarks
were too profound for animals that

The carrier pigeon "wondered il q
steady course of that treatment would
make homing birds Of oil Of them2"
"Combing birds2" asked the Poland
rooster, 'there's no carrier pigeon in the
menagerie can lay over me in that fea.

The Mexican dog said "he would like
to see any man, from the lion tanner
down, comb his HAIR with a steel curry
comb"
"No," the elephant remarked, "they
would have to follow the old recipe for
cooking q hare; they would have to frst
catch the hair"
The buffalo said hat speaking OF
combs, it was his hornest opinion"
"Hello," the elephant interrupted,
'here comes the advertisement of the B.
4 NJ. land department. Say" he added,
"does John Bonnell know you're out Of

The buffalo asked him il the use Of
celluloid in the manufacture OF billiard
balls had affected the ivory trade enough
to soul his temperP
But the tiger said the discussion had
wandered from the subject, and was
growing too %purrsonal. "And besides"
he added, licking his chops hungIi y, as
the keeper passed too close to his cage,

that if he couldn't have it, about thirtJ =

And then the keeper passed around
the usual refreshments and the men

Novel Method of Reward,

A new method of reward for those
who are diligent in the business of the
government has been established in
Japan. 1t consists of no decoration or
gift of money, but takes the form of a
great national portrait gallery, in which
those who sufficiently distinguish them
selves in the opinion of their superiors
will henceforth have the privilege Of
seeing their likenesses placed. Already
a vast number of applications for q
place have been made, with the result,
in the opinion of the HOcht Shinbun, an
independent journal of the Japanese
capital, that the gallery will have more
%ofquautity than quality in it. Another
clause in the decree which establishes
this reward raises doubts in the minds
OF the japanese journals. People who
are allotted a place in the gallery may
have their likenesses painted according
to their own taste or be photographed,
as they please. A chronicler fears That
very few ugly faces will appear in the
collection, and that its value as a his
torical souvenir will on this account
also be consequently considerably de-
preciated.
