The Bible says: ''Swear not at all;

Clearly people, who do not wish to
KISS a book sodden with grease and
foul with filth, are allowed to affirm.
which is certainly preferable. Others
practice a harmless sort of evasion, by
holding the book in such way that
they can kiss their thumbs without be-

advice and he spent his money liberal

tan has pictures worth quite 5000, 600

1900, 900 or 100000 more. He has 81
Meissoniers, II of them hanging to-
gether on one wall of his main gallery.
He has at least dozen Carrots, and as
many Troyons. He has a noble and
graceful Van Dyck, two characteristic
Frank Halls and series of five Tehlers

Singular Disguise.

The sudden disappearance of the
Chicago Anarchist, Parsons, and his
unannounoed temperance when the
captured Anarchists were put on trial,
forms story that equals a romance.
After the bomb was thrown at the
Haymarket riot, says the News of Chi
cago, Parsons jumped from the wagon
and hurried home to his wife. They
agreed that flight was necessary, and
by morning he was on a train bound
to Omaha and thoroughly disguised.
Parsons hair and mustache are natu-
rally an iron-gray, but Parsons has
dyed them to a darker hue, so that
even his intimates described him as a
dark-haired man. This dye he re-
moved before leaving home the night
of his flight. At Omaha he was har-
bored by Anton Ruhe, the proprietor
of suburban road-house and the pat
ron of the Nebraska Anarchists. The
growing desire for his capture. of
which he learned from the Chicago pa
pers, alarmed him, and he secured,
through Ruhe, refuge on farm hear
Papillon twenty miles west of Omaha.
There he remained until last Friday,
when he yielded to the advice of Capt.
Black and returned to Chicago. He
made the journey of 500 miles without
an attempt at concealment, but the
beard he had grown during his absence
so disguised him that his own wife
hardly recognized him. Before going
to court he had his beard shaved.

my lord was as old as she by that
Time, but as soon as the funeral was
over he went into my lady's room and
stood q long while before the locked
and nailed closet door.
Then he said to himself: Il cannot
die until know, and ordered it to be
opened.
They sent for the blacksmith to do
it; and all the while my lord sat in his
great armchair staring before him.
There was hundreds of nails in it, but
they were all out at last. and the lock
was forced and my lord arose and tot
tered into the closet.
"A bed stood there still and some
gowns hung on the wall, and over the
bed one was lying with cords twisted
about it. Then they looked closer and
the maids began to scream, and the
old woman who remembered Rosette
had called out her name, and nv lord
turned his pale old eyes upon them
like q ghost, and said: God forgive
me and have mercy on both their so,lls,'
anu held out his hands to be helped
back to his own room, which he never
left after.
1T wasn't much they found, only
few bones and an ornament or two.
but it was plain that the girl had been
tied haad and foot and bound to the
bed and left there to die-if she was
not murdered outright by the jealous
lady. But ever since, sir, whenever
there is going to be misfortune in the
family, whoever sleeps here in this
room sees Rosette come out of her
closet and smile in the glass. No one
ever sees her face, only in reflection.
l hope no trouble will follow now, SIR"
AS for the American. he slept else
where the next night, he had no ad-
miration for ghosts, even the family
ghosts of noblemen, and he had no
desire to see Rosette smile at him in
the glass again. The smiles of phap-
tom of two hundred years. standing
are more awesome than bewitching.

she could make money by going into
the dairy business, and managing to
get few dollars together, she bought
a COW and began business. 1t was on
a smAl scale, but she prospered, and
after time she had bought a dozen
or more cows. The work was done bv
her. She was up early and late. At
ter milking the cows she would pre-.
pare the milk for market and deliver
it to her customers. In two years af-
ter Mrs. Francis engaged in the dairy
business she was known by nearly
every citizen. She vas strictly bust
ness, and went wherever her business
called her, no matter where that was
Mrs. Francis invested her money as
fast as she made it, and her invest
ments always proved good ones. Mrs.
Francis died few days ago, leaving
an estate valued at $4,000, including
dairy farm of seventy-tive acres, we'll

Among the issues of postage stamps
by foreign countries there is none more
curious within recent years than the
new issue of Madagascar-34 inches

will be more eagerly sought by collect
ors. There are eight in all, ranging in
value from Id. to %. They are issued
by England, for letters mailed at the
British consulate in Antananarioo,
and gummed only in the corner. The
letters are sent to Mauritius, where the
Malagassy stamp is removed and kept
for a voucher and the Mauritius stamp
substituted. The Peruvian Govern

The promise which Queen Christina
made, that she would avail herself of
her accouchment to pardon Duke Hen.
ry de Seville, who about three months
since was condemned for the crime of
lese-majeste to eli ht years solitary con-
ffnement. brings to mind the fact that
perhaps no reigning family in existence
has such seamy and at the same time
romantic side to its history as that of
Spain. The Prince mentioned is the
son of Don Enrique de Bourbon, who
IN 1870 was deliberately slot through
the head, in an alleged duel, by BIZ,
cousin. the Due de Montpensier. Don
Enrique was one of a numerous family
of brothers and sisters whose histories
are somewhat extraordinary. The eld-
est, Princess Isabella, eloped with a
Polish nobleman, Count Goroski, whose
brother Adam. of the same title, was q
well-known and eccentric figure on
broadway for many years, and an en-
ploye of the Tribune when under the
direction of Mr.. Dana, and afterwards
Of the State Department at Washing
ton in Mr.. Stewards day. The Count,
though poor, is very popular in Paris.
The marriage, to which afterwards the
consent of the Crown was obtained,
turned out an unhappy one. The
Princess's extravaganza in money and
| morals knew no limit and after the
birth of daughter a separation was
arranged. She wanders now around
the streets of Madrid of nights in halt
crazy and half-clothed condition. All
doors are closed to her. Her daughter
by the Count, who was Oh arming and
lovely girl, died in the most abject
poverty on little farm not far from
the capital. The cot on which she ex-
pired was its sole furniture.

>~~
''rhere are ten men sent for the
clerkships to every one woman" said
Civil-Service Commissioner Edgerton
to-day. ''In some of the departments
absolutely no acquisitions come to us
for women, and very few are demand.
ed anywhere. The result is that wo-
men stand almost no show at all to be
appointed. A lady was appointed in
the Postoffice Department, from New
York to-day. Her standing was very
high in every branch. In arithmetic
it was 100, yet her name had been on
our lists for a long time. Men readily
get positions whose standing is no more
than 80 per cent on an average:''
GLOW do you account for this state
of things?' was asked.
ooh, there is no real reason for it.
1t is more a matter of prejudice than
anything else. A man eats a banana
and doesn't like it, therefore says he
doesn't like bananas and never tastes of
another. Some chief of bureau or
other officer has an incompetent wom-
an some time, or some woman that is
troublesome. and so he will not try
another. Then there is feeling in
certain quarters that if one happens
to get an incompetent woman she is
hard to get rid Of; that she will bring
influences to bear and will perhaps
shed tears. Then it is little hard to
tell woman that she is unsatisfactory.
The chiefs feel that man will under
stand it and take it as a man, but q
woman will make fuss. Then.
strange enough, there is a vast army
OF men pushing all the while for the
small places that women usually get,
and so, taking it all in all, they stand
a poor chance
