Fortune From a Joke,

One hot night in July, 1885. when the
burden of proof-reading in a close room
seemed almost suffOcating, Dick Shanks
was working as only night fends on
morning papers can work, gazing in-
tently at the agate and nonpareil takes,
deciphering bad manuscript, aud labor
iously contributing his share to make a
morning paper. About half-past 3
O'Clock in the morning there was a
slack in the run of copy, and while
| Shanks and his fellow workmen were
waiting for other proofs, he began to
tell how night work was wearing on
him, how he could not sleep through
the hot days, and yet how dependent he
was upon his small salary for a liveli-
hood. He told how he had lost a
fortune in the war and now had to
work like a slave; that he was poor and
discouraged with his condition, and he
did not care how soon the good angel
called him to another world. A few
minutes later the proof-reader, who sat
beside him. came to a little telegraph
take" which SAID something about a
vast fortune IN Kentucky left to the
heirs of David Shanks. Thinking he
could have a little fun by inserting his
companions name in the despatch, the
proof-reader added in a few lines on the
manifold paper these words:
The only known heir Of this Kentucky Shsnks
is r.. L. Shanks, a lame man and a prVof-reader,
supposed 10 be working ike a slave on the Times
The old copyholder read it and laugh
ingly put it in his vest pocket, where it
renamed for many months. No one
ever dreamed that there was a word of
truth in the manufactured telegram.
Mrs. Shanks one day found the tele-
gram in her husbands vest pocket, and
asked what it meant. Just for fun he
said it was a true telegram which he
had received. She told a sister-in-law,
and this sister-in law wrote to Stanford,
Lincoln county, KY, to know If 1t was
so. The answer came that there was a
fortune there for the heirs of David L.
Shanks, formerly of Virginia: that he
had at one time owned a number of
shares in a turnpike road. He died in
1S41, and the annual dividends had
accumulated and been in the public
treasury ever since, and that the heirs
could not be found. When Dick Shanks
saw that letter he knew that his father,
who died just before Dick was born,
was the former owner of those shares,
for his name was David L. and he
came from Virginia. Subsequent COM
munication with the State Treasurer
and county officials has placed Dick
Shanks' identity beyond a doubt as the
heir Of three-htths OF the entire fund,
which has been accommodating for over
forty years. The case is in the hands
of Mr.. j. @. Bower, of Kansas City.
and Dick will soon have his money.

Princess Alexandra.

A recent writer in a London paper
says it would be ungallant not to admit
that the princess of Wales is an orna-
ment to her sex, and her sweetness and
beauty are the themes of every scribe
whenever the royal lady is to be seen
in public. But has anyone ever observed
the wife of Albert Edward smile? Her
absolutely immobile c~ountenance and
her set expression are we'll known, and
photography reproduees them in perfect
truthfulness. That fair but sphinx
like face one in time begins, naturally
enough, to regard as a mask, beneath
which the real index Of the soul moves
i'm %concealment. Reflections such as
these are suggested by examining the
latest cabinet portraits of Alexandra
clothed in her doctors robes-doctor of
music, not of law nor of dlvinity-as
she was lately seen in Dublin. 1t
would be curious to know why the
princess always affects one fashion In
the arrangement Of her couture, but
the fact is she is bald, or nearly so.
Her head was shaved during a serious
Illness. and her hair has since refused
TO grow. Consequently the royal ward
robe includes fifty wigs the distinguish
ing feature of which is that the curls
are brought well over the forehead.

pose also, and the presence of a mark

collar, large bow, band of velvet. or
other artless continuance invariably
worn by the future queen. Poor lady,
she knows her sorrowsl 1t is within
general recollection when it was the
fashion Of court danes to affect the

of the princess of Wales, whose free
gait was slightly lmpeded by the effects
Of rheumatic fever. A cork heel of

however, restores, as far as possible,

JOYS OF HOME.

Sweet are the Joys of Home,
And pure as sweet, for they,
Like dews of morn and evening come
To wake and close the day.
The world bath its delights,
And its decisions, too;
But Home TO calmer bliss invites,
More tranquil and more true.
The mountain food is strong,
But fearful in its pride;
While gently rolls the stream along
The peaceful valleys side.
Life charities, like light,
Spread smilipgly afar,
But stars approached become more bright
And Home is Life's own star.
The pilgrims step in vain
Seeks Eden's sacred groundi
But in Homes holy joys, again
An Eden may be found.
A glance of heaven TO see,
To none on earth is given;
And yet a happy family
Is but an earlier heaven.

A DESIGN IN HAND.
Three Amusing Anecdotes of Prominent
Boston Architects.

Three Amusing Anecdotes of Prominent
Boston Architects.
From time to time one hears q good
many droll stories anent the Boston
architects, who are for the most part
men of rather marked individuality, and
a couple of these stories will bear repeats
ing. The first relates that q Boston
architect furnished designs for build
ing of which the Importance may be esi
timated by the fact that it cost something
like S1,000,Q00. He did not draw his
commission until the work was finished,
when the amount of his bill frightened
the committee having the matter in
charge. One of them, millionaire
thrice over, said emphatically at the
committee meeting where the bills came
up: "The bill is simply absurd; 81, 800
is fully all that the architects services
are worth. Why, it is mere brain labor;
no capital required whatever; 81 800 is
ample; it is generous" In the end,
however, the ''mere brain labor" man.
aged to get something like thirty times
the sum which seemed to the millionaire
SO generously ample.
The second tale is to the effect that
when Mr.. Richardson, who built the
capitol at Albany, presented his designs
for that edifice, the committee asked
that he make certain notifications of
his plans. But he answered.: mo, gen.
tlemen; l will make you new design,
but can not alter that. That is cen
ception."

AROUND CHATTANOOGA.

The Condition of the Supplies That
Reached the Besieged City.
All supplies for Rosecrans had to be
brought from Nashville. The railroads
between this base and the army was in
possession of the Government up to
Bridgeport, the point at which the road
crosses to the south side of the Tennes-
see River; but Bragg, holding Lookout
and Raccoon Mountains west of Chat
tanooga, commanded the railroad, the
river and the shortest and best wagon
roads, both south and north of the
Tennessee, between Chattanooga and
Bridgeport. The distance between
these two places is but twenty-siX miles
by rail; but owing to this position of
Bragg all supplies for Rosecrans had to
be hauled by circuitous route, north
of the river, and over mountainous
country, increasing the distance to over
sixty miles. This country afforded but
little food for his animals, near ten
thousand of which had already starved,

But such is the case. The gentlem en-
connected with this bank are all natives
of Japan, and men Of intelligence, and
refined with that courteous bearing so
noticeable in the higher class of the
people of China and Japan. They are
highly educated and several of them
speak English fluenty. They have also
adopted the dress and habits of cult
waited Americans. The bank, which is
a branch of large banking institution
in Japan, is mainly supported by trans
actions with Japanese merchants en-
gagged in the import or export trade.
Its offices form a part of the suit of
rooms occupied by the Japanese Con-
sui, and that gentleman himself exer-
cises supervision over its affairs TO see
that everything is conducted in the
interest and to the credit of the Govern
ment whose commission he bears.
The head Office of the bank is at Yo-

The Potato in Germany.

An interesting paper was lately read
at meeting of the Saxon Economical
Society in Dresden, giving an account
of the introduction of the potato into
Germany and the gradual spread of its
cultivation. In 1885 it was first brought
into Germany from Italy. The first
seed potatoes in Saxony were present
in 1851 from the Landgrave of Hesse to
the Elector of Saxony. In 1647 they
were grown as exotics in gardens at
Leipsic. Swedish soldiers brought them
into Western Germany about the con-
clus!on of the thirty years war. In 1717
they were rcintroduced into Saxony
from Brabant. and within twenty-five
years they began to be regularly cult
waited, their use being much developed
in the famine period in l770-7l. In the
year 1882 over 100000 acres were
given up to the cultivation of potatoes
in Germany. the produce amounting to
q, 900, 900 tons. N. Y. Graphic.

BASQUES.
Details for Ladies' Anxious to Save Labor
and Money.

and Money.
A simple and new way of finishing
the back forms of basques is to shape
them in four scallops, one in each form,
and line them with satin. Below
these are two larger scallops gathered
at the top and sewed under
meath the two middle scallops
of the four forms. In other basques.
especially those of velvets, only two
scallops are seen, one in each of the
middle forms of the back. The short
side forms are then separated about
two inches from these and pointed be-
low. An easy and stylish way OF trim
ming sleeves is to use inch-wide galloon
or else velvet ribbon instead of cuffs.
Begin by sewing it at the end of the
sleeve at its outside seam, crossing to
the inside seam, then taking it gradually
upward far enough to come back on the
front just above the row that is
already there, stopping there when half
way across, finishing by turning in the
ends in point The economist is ad-
vised to use watered silks in remodeling
last seasons dresses of cloth or of vel
vet, and in combining with cashmere
for house dresses. Black cashmere
draped over black watered silk remains
favorite for house dresses. The hello
trope colors are also especially liked in
these two fabrics. A smooth cloth
basque of dark brown, red, gray or blue
is in great favor for wearing with skirts
left over from last winter, and is in
keeping with skirts of striped woolens,
striped silks, dark plaid woolens, and
also with plain woods OF lighter shade.
These basques are of the plainest shape,
without trimming, unless dropping cords
be used on the chest, or else passing
under the arms from an epaulette.-
