classic features, not very young, who wore
bonnet that in outline and curve suggested
the Minerva helmet. She was on her way to

style as well, what picturesque variety We
might have"

picture of Col. +. Q. Morehead, president
of the National Cotton Planters Association,
and very fair biographical ske en- OF his
life aud services in public enterprises. Col.
Morehead cannot be too highly praised for

Then take a bus to Regents Park, make haste be-

PERHAPS the most striking incident in the
generally smooth and quiet career OF the

George Sand, when he was twenty and she
twenty five. II was meant to be eternal,
But it lasted less than two years.
Thirty years later they met again, in
the foyer of the Oieon. Their eyes met

THERE ia report that the coronation Of
the Gar ia likely 10 be postponed from the
9th of May TO The 10th of June, as the for
mer date is the anniversary of a very dark
event iu Russisn history-the murder Of the
young Demetrius, of the house Of Rurik,
by his uncle, Boris Gudunof, who figures as
the Richard III OF Muscovite history. Il is

Do YOU know what a gamblet's greatest
dread is?" asked ono OF that class while
conversing with ST. Louis Post reporter.
1t is" he answered himself, that he will
be paralyzsd. Nearly every gambler l ever
knew thinks he will die from the effects of
ehock. 1t may come from the fact that
great many of them have gone that way. Ii
a man with withered arm or leg should
happen in a gambling house the dealer
would quit his chair. Another dread of
gamblers is a man who comes in to play
With cane in his hand. That is regarded
as bad luck to the house."
One day in British Kaffraria, during the
Kaffir war, the late Gen. Clifford was in the
act of sitting down on the ground, placing
one hand behind him for the purpose. He
felt something clammy to- the touch, and
found 10 his horror it was puff adder,
most venomouJ reptile. Another man with
less self-possession would have removed his
hand, probably to be stung in the act. Not
SO Clifford. With great presence OF mind he
held the snake down firmly with one hand,
with the other drew his clasp knife from his
pocket, opened it with his teeth, and then
coolly severed the reptiles head from it's
body.

HENRY JAMES read before the Saturday

Of taste end fashion, to whom Mr.. James was |

first, and he is said 10 have read in a some |

at the cosclusion of the reading by the pre- |
sentstion OF bouquet ingeniously ilIustrat- |

ONE of the traditions concerning Lord |
which has taken a strong hold |
On the English is that his favo-ite flower wac
the primrose. The wearing OF that flower

Nearly every Conservative me mber displayed |

indulge in sentiment which is n the least
likely to appear ridiculous. Even the por-
era Of the railway stations wore huge yellow
and the engines were wreathed with
he pretty Wild flowers.
