A visit to the New Cemetery last
Tuesday discovered to US the bad
condition of that spot that holds
the ashes of those who have loved
ones in this town. The fencing is
warped and in many places down,
the grounds are covered with brush
and other litter, and the whole Gem
etery has the aspect Of neglected
spot. Wonder if there could not
be something done to repair end
beautify the homes of those who
sleep in the city of the dead? Will
not the ladies try it: They will
succeed.

Feminine Trick.

A feminine trick, very common among
foreigners at Rome, Italy, is described
as follows: A lady goes to milliner's
and looks over her stock of bonnets.
She selects those which she thinks will
suit her, and begs the milliner to send
them to her the following morning that
she may try them on at home and Sc
lect the one which suits her. The poor
milliner consents. At nine o'clock she
sends the bonnets. The lady is not up.
Will the "young woman" call again a
little later? The "young woman" con-
sents to leave the bonnets until three
o'clock. What does my lady do then ?
She takes the bonnet she likes best to a
little working milliner in back street,
and bids her make one exactly like the
model she leaves with her until half
past two o'clock, when she takes it back
to the grand milliner, saying that she
is very sorry, but none of them "suit
her.p

us young people, who scorned the idea
rats, cowls, or wind, and who had
strong inclination to believe In the su-
pernatural some OF the MAJORS traps,
as he called them, were removed from
the opposite room, as lie declared that
here, and nowhere else would he spend
the night. Some of the younkers pro-
posed that he should be provided with
pistols, but he shook his head, and said
that he should be sufficiently armed
against all comers with o good stout
walking.stck. "And you had better
not attempt to play any tricks, my lads,
unless you have mind to get broken
head" he added laughing.
After some arrangements for the ma
jor's comfort, which, by the way, he pro.
tested against as being quite superfluous,
the party dispersed for the night
The first of October was as fine O
morning as any sportsman could wish
for. AT little after eight we were all
in the breakfast parlor, except the Squire
and Mr.. Bradley, who were slowly walk
ing up and down the grass plot be-
fore the windows apparently in earnest
conversation.
The major had already been besieged
by number of questions, which he
answered in a joking manner, saying
that the morning was no time for such
subjects, that we must keep our nerves
steady, and think no more about hob
goblins, or the pheasants would escape
us. But when the Squire and Mr.. Brad
ley Joined us, and the latter pointedly
asked him how he had passed the night,
he replied:
really am sorry to disappolnt you,
but must confess 1 slept very well, and
l saw nothing worse than myself after
these young chaps left the room, 1
mean)-what heard, is quite another
affairp'
" What-what did you hear, sir 2"
from half dozen of us at once.
" 1 heard-don't let me alarm you'll
heard the fellow in the room back of
mine snoring like pig"

clergyman. In the evening the Squire

till then, as there are some matters con-
nected with my story which are not
quite clear. While you are out shoot
ing, l am in hopes of finding the miss
ing links in chain of evidence which
will be satisfactory to all parties"
When breakfast was over, all those
amongst us who were sportsmen took
their guns, and went out for days
shooting. L have seen younger men
than the major used up after walking
five or six hours through turnip-fields
and underwood, with double-barreled
gun on their shoulders; but he seemed
as full of mirth and jollity as he was
the day before, and assured US, when we
sat down to dinner, that he felt as fresh
after his days work, as he should have
done twenty years ago.
In the evening, we reminded Mr..
Bradley of the promise he had made
us.
81 had not forgotten it," he replied /;
''but it will be best that the squire
should tell his part of the story first."-

Romantic DuelS.

Duels make up almost all the interest
OF M. Fortune du Boisgobey's story,
"L'Epingle Rose" The first incident
IN the story is the return of one of the
heroes, Fabien, from party. He loses
his road, finds himself in an unknown
part Of old Paris (the date is about 1929
and meets a man with sedan chair.
The man Of the sedan chair says that
his invalid brother is within it, and asks
Fabien to help him to carry the patient
to a hospital. The good-natured hero
consents the police come up the other
man decamps, and the body of Fabien's
cousin is found in the chair. He has
been killed by sword thrust in the eve.
Next we have an encounter in fencing
room between one of the Swiss Guard
and Marcas, the villain, with two of his
friends. The weapons are foils, with
the buttons removed. The Swiss fights
the two others first, and wounds both,
in spite of their policy Of breaking ground
and retreating. When it comes to Mar
cas- turn, he proposes to fight on the
billiard table, that there may be no
chance of retreat on either side. He
then leaps within his antagonist's guard,
and stabs him in the eye. But Marcas'
great duel is fought with pistols in the
vaults under hall where the Carbonari
are about to meet. His antagonist is
Fabien, the hero. The conditions are
that each party may advance as he pleases
to spot in the center of the ground.
Each has a loaded pistol, and two extra
charges. The weapons of course are
the old flint locks. Fabien is smoking
cigar. At the first fire both men miss.
Marcas' second fire knocks off the ham,
mer of Fabien's pistol. The latter is
thus disarmed, and all seems over. The
miscreant Marcss begins to mock his
victim, loads with great deiberation,
and promises, if possible, to kill him
with single shot. The feelings of the
reader m he does not foresee what fol-
lows) are powerfully worked on, for Mar
cas- has been killing respectable people,
right and left, all throug h the story. A
happy thought occurs to Fabien. He
throws open the pan of his fint-lock,
and sees that the printing is all right.
You see that you are not disarmed,"
sneers the miscreant Marcas eta spark
fell from one of the torches, your pistol
might still 60 off," Fabien calmly re-
marks that he means to kill Marcas, lev
els his weapon with steady aim, and fires
the printing with the lighted end of his
cigar. Marcas is shot through the body,
and expires in an unrepentant frame Of
mind

Queer Industries in New York.

The Investigations of the census
men have led to some queer develop
ments in the manufactures of New
York and adjoining cities. The larg-
est single industry in New York is
that Of custom-made clothes. The
making of paper patterns employs
hundreds of hands, and, ten houses
being engaged in it, uses tons of pa
per. There are factories for making
dried blood, the dummies that MILL
ners use to show dresses on, theatrical
armor and jews-harps. The use of
adulterating substances is getting to
be general. ''Castile soaps is made
of grease and terra alba, or white
earth, which earth is also used largely
in candy making. Glucose, which is
corn syrup, is used heavily by the
sugar refners. There is a firm engaged
in making honey and honey-comb.
The honey-comb is made by machinery
of parafine wax, and is an exact imita-
ton Of the regular thing, except tha4
the bees fashion their cells of walls
only one hundred and twenty fifth of
an inch wide, while the human artifi-
GERS have not yet become that deft.
