that is pretty plain, or at least, whlchseems
to be very plain, there are those who seem
to be determined to seek out and establish
some other way. The record seems to set
tie the question, in the main, how to breed,
and this record, made in public, and wit
messed by hundreds of thousands OF people
is something the breeders in Minnesota
ought to study thoughtfully, and not waste
their time in experimenting. For the con-
sideration of breeders the following facts

Tend the business So that the charitably dis
posed who cannot afford to contribute money
can help the institution by sending their
work to its laundry. The engineer in the
laundry department is a man, but the pre-
siding genius at the engine which supplies
the house with steam, astonishing as it may
seem, is a woman. She has held the posi-
ton for six years, and when seen by the
reporter looked as neat and clean as if she
had never handled lump of coal i'll her
life. 1t is contemplated putting woman
in charge of the other engine also, but one
will have to be thoroughly drilled in the
duties before the attempt is made.
Passing up two flights of winding stairs
in the rear of the building, and stepping to
window, fine view of the grounds is
obtained SiXteen-foot boards set endwise
are used in dividing the yards; and then the
sister begins an explanation. The most
northerly division is that used by the
reformatory women, the worst class in the
institution, and those who are always Oh
the lookout for means of escape.
The adjoining yard is that used by the
Magdalenes. the ones who assume the brown
habit of the Carmelite order, and decide of
their own free will to abandon all desire to
to return to outside life. and express their
intention TO SpenQ the balance Oh Inelr Gays
in the institution. Once fallen women
they never become Sisters of the Good
Shepherd, and are never employed to in
struct the children in their studies or work.
They live in entire seclusion. The third
yard is the playground for the juvenile re-
formatories. They are principally young
girls who have been taken from the streets
or were the children of dissolute parents
who were permitting them to grow to
womanhood subject to all the vices and
evil influences Of wicked and depraved COM
panons The large yard in the rear is the
playground of the innocents, and where
the clustered sisters take their recreation
when the weather permits, while the
smaller one to the south of that is
used for hanging out to dry the
clothes handled in the laundry. Asked
about the recreation hours of the inmates.
the sister says they have one and half
hours at noon and two hours at supper.
They play ball. jump the rope, chase one

A HONEYMOON IN A CANOE.
Whirled Through Roaring Waters
Bride Laughs at Danger. -!

A recently married couple from New Y ork
greatly enjoyed novel and adventurous
wedding trip in carrying out their mutual
taste for sailing. After their marriage
ceremony they went on a New York
steamer to Fall River, from whence they
sailed on small schooner-rlgged row
boat only fourteen feet long, and cruised
through different waters they reached Point
Judith. which was rounded in severe gale
of wind and rain, says the Hartford Times.
The little boat rocked and danced over the
rough waves in way to intimidate "a
landsWoman," out the fearless little bride
simply drew on an ulster over her white
nautical dress and enjoyed the fun. They
arrived in Hartford during this unique
honeymoon, and were enthusiastically
greeted by members of the Hartford Canoe
club, who afterwards lowed the schooner
row boat, containing the laughing and sea-
loving couple, down the Connecticut river
by a tug boat to the banks of their future
home,

Sale of Gieuview.

All horsemen, even if they have not been
there. know about the great Glenview stud
and farm, near Louisville, KY. They also
know that it is the home of Nutwood, Pan
coast. Cuyler and other celebrated trottlng
sires. GIenview is undoubtedly one OF the
very best aud most celebrated breeding
establishments IN the United States. Fan
coast. one of the stations at this farm, IS
the sire of Patron, who as a ee-year-old
trotted in 2:l9%. Mr.. T. B. Marrett OF st.
Paul has a stallion colt by Nutwood. Inc
fame of this stable has gone abroad among
all horsemen. Mr.. j. b. McFerren. the
founder of the stable, died several months
ago. After his death an effort was MADE
by his son and the family to keep
the establishment just as 1t was
under the management of the de-
ceased founder. They have done
so ND to the present time, but 1t seems that
they are unable to do SO any longer, for the
reason that decision has been rendered III
the chancery court whereby Glenview has
been ordered to be sold If the whole
establishment cannot be sold at once, as
whole. a public sale will be held about the
middle of October, of the farm and the ell
tire stock. All true hOrSemen who nave
the best ideas Of the matter OF breeding
trotting horses, will regret very much H.
deed to see a scattering of this fine collec-
ton Of animals. 1t is to be greatly re-
GREETED that the elder McFerren could not
have lived to carry out his ideas of breed
Ing to produce the fastest trotter. Mr..
McFerren is authorized to sell any OF the
animals at private sale until the catalogue
is issued. which will be about the
10th of September, after which
no animal will be sold until the final public
sale. In his notice to the public of the
proposed sale, Mr.. McFerren says: IF
public sale takes place. which now seems
inevitable, the opportunity for purchasing
the very highest types of the very best blood
lines known to the trotting breeding inter
ests will be afforded. 1t is needless to add
that no such chance has ever before been
offered, and probablya lifetime will not see
another such" 1t is very doubtful if any
man can be found who is prepared to
abandon his own business and put into the
purchase the large amount of money re-
ouired to complete the trade. 1t is, there
fore, almost certain that the whole estab-
liShment will be disposed of in way that
will scatter the stock all over the United
States.

is engaged in making shoes, and lakes great
pride in displaying the evidences Of her
Skill. The sole is ordinary oak leather, and

the upper is a brown cloth. The shoe is
light, soft, serviceable and Shapely, and
lasts long time.
While in this room attention is directed
to an oil painting of st. Mary Magdalene,
executed in 1896. and presented to the Mag
| daeneS by the Rt. ReY. James Duggan. 1t
is said to be of great value, and its author
one of the old and world-famous masters.
The dormitory of the Magdalenes is an adj
| Joining room. All the beds have white
muslin curtains, and the sheets and pillow
slips are as white and clean as it they had
just come from the laundry. The sister
says each one ought to have separate bed
room, but that the house is so crowded the
regulations for the government OF this class
cannot be followed out. Small cells occu-
pied by clustered sisters open into the dor
mitory, for the women are never lost sight
of day or night.
| Some of the girls in the juvenile reforma-
tory and some Of the women in the reform
atory are very anxious to escape from the
house, and, as a result, they have to be
watched very close. Such precautions are
| taken, however, that the eS-
capes only average about one per
year. One daring escape was made several
| years back by woman who had room on
the third floor Of the building. Some time
during the night she took her sheet and
pillcwslip, and. tearing them into ribbons,
constructed rope. She fastened one end
to the bedstead and threw the other end
out of the window. She then lowered her
self to the roof of the gallery, one story be-
low, and succeeded in cIamDering down the
supports to the ground. She was not free
even then, as there was still a siXteen-foot
fence to scale. That however, must have
been small undertaking, as it was not
nearly such difficult feat as coming down
the gallery supports. She was heard of a
week or so after her escape, but was never
returned to the institution. The last es-
cape was made about year ago, so that if
the average is to be kept up, another is liza
Bile to take place quite shortly.
Of the thirty-five persons in the institution
twenty-eight wear the white habit, and are
known as clustered sisters, and never go
out except under extraordinary circum-
stances. Five wear the black habit, and
are known as outdoor sisters. They do all
the buying for tue institute, and attend to

THE LADY OF THE CASTLE.
The Magnificent Mountain Home of

RI
About 100 miles from London, in Wales,
in picturesque chain of mountains, is sit
uated the majestic and beautiful castle of
Crag-y.Nos. the home of Adelina Patti, in
the style of the fifteenth century.
Numerous hot houses offer fruits and
flowers of every kind, while the stables
are provided with superb horses, which the
diva handles with the skill of an Amazon.
Nor are carriages of every description
wanted, one of which always stands wait
ing the guest at the station of Crag-y-NOs.
The kennels contain twenty packs Of
hounds, and in the poultry yards are pleas
ants and every kind of fowl. In the
kitchens, kept with extreme neatness and
order. the most appetiZing viands are pre-
pared by skillful cooks, and the cellars
furnish the most exquisite wines and
liquors in the world. The castle is built
entirely Of stone.
But who can give an adequate idea of the
grandeur and beauty to be found within
these walls? says correspondent of the
San Francisco Call. There are two dining
hallS-one for winter the other for sum-
mer. Near these two rooms is a magnii-
cent conservatory, while in the center of
the castle is a spacious reception room, with
furniture of exquisite taste, upholstered
with deep-blue brocade, embroidered in
gold. This room is adorned with pictures,
oriental rugs and draperies of great value,
as well as many jewels of price-all being
presents which the diva has received. The
beautiful tankard of gold set with brilliants,
and the massive golden laurel crown Orna-
mented with diamond stars, both of which
superb gifts were given her by her enthu-
siastic admirers in San Francisco, are there,
testimonials of their affection and good
will.
Among the jewels is a casket OF silver OF
artistic workmanship, gift from her fel-
low students of the Vienna Opera troupe,
while birds of pure gold with eyes of rubies,
a small piano inlaid with precious stones,
and the choicest fans, albums. pictures and
artistic works of every sort and OF great
value form part of the collection OF the
lady of the castle.
The boudoir of the diva looks like a
| dainty little box, with its rose colOred and
blue furnishings. Here stands an upright
piano of satin-wood, while Oh the walls
hang photographs and pictures, all gifts
from friends. Nor are there wanting por-
| traits of all the crowned heads of Europe,
as well as of the most renowned artists and
musicians. Autographs and subscriptions
under these show the high consideration
in which Patti is held. There are also
water colors painted by the diva herself,
which testify that were she not the queen
of song she might have distinguished her.
self in the realm of painting.
There are also two large rooms contain
ing billiard tables, and it is here that Nlco-

and gentlemen amuse themselves with the

one could desire, for an orchestra of LOG

Detroit Free Press.
About four miles out Of Birmingham,
Ala. we came across a stletch of road
about four miles long, which was foot
deep with red clay mud. We had to ride
our horses along the edge of it. and then it
was job to pull through. On the far side,
about fifty feet from The solid road-bed, we
came upon a colOred man with his mule
and cart, the latter loaded with wood and
stuck fast in the mud. The man was seated
by the roadside, while the old mule was
chewing away at heap of brush and grass
which had been cast before him.
''Stuck?" asked one Of the party as we
drew rein.
Reckon So" was the reply.
GLOW long you been here?"
''Since yesterday"
''Why don't you unload and get out?"
''Too much trouble, boss. lie started

But what will you do?"
''Wait fur de mud to dry up, sab. She's
bakin' mighty fast under dis hot sun, an
two days more will let me trew.'
Just at evening of the second day we saw
him come into town with the load, the
mule being plastered clear to the tips of his
ears. The man recognized u.s. and bowling

question has been made the subject of nu-
merous essays, and various plans have been
suggested for the establishment of home
for fallen women under Protestant auspices,
but as yet no steps have been taken that
give promise of ultimately leading to that
much desired end. The Catholic church,
however, which is nothing if not practical
in the matter Of establishing and maintain
ing charitable institutions, already possesses
and successfully conducts an institution
that meets the letter and spirit OF the idea

mission, it would seem that the institution is
worthy more generous support than has
ever been given it, an that, too, from all
| classes and conditions OF people, regardless
of religious predictions. The institute on
| referred to is the House of the Good Shep-
herd, occupying the block bounded by
Market street on the east, Sedgwck street
on the west, Hill street on the south and
Elm street on the north.
! The House Of the Good Shepherd in this
city was first opened in 1879, and occupied
the site of the present building. 1t was
burned to the ground during the great fire
| in 1871, but was rebuilt the next year on
much larger scale. 1t is now very sub
stantial fye-story structure, and Of rather
pleasing architectural design. Its accom-
modations for 800 persons are pushed to
the limit, and in point of fact 315 are at
present housed within its walls, $50 of
whom have been regularly placed there by
one of four methods for the procuring adj
| mission.
The lower or ground floor contains the
refectories of each department.. and there
are five in ALL the engine room, kitchen,
laundry and bakery. The food of the en-
tire household is prepared in one kitchen,
and when ready for distribution is placed
upon a push car and run along the covered
track directly in the rear of the building,
the several consignments being removed at
their respective places of destination. The
laundry department is an extensive one,
and occupies the low brick building which
extends along Hill street. A new steam
plant was recently erected, and the girls
who are especially detailed for the work are
rapidly becoming proficient in the use Of
the improved machinery. A large amount
of outside work is done by this department,
