lection of Japanese antiquities which he
brought home from the far East.
The principal room has in its center
colossal statue of Buddha, and it was
here that the dancing went on. Two
galleries run round the room, the lower
one being filed with statuettes and
small objects of great value, but these
were partly concealed by foliage and
flowers that were twined about the
artistic treasures of the place.
The walls were completely covered
with flowers and the hall was brilliantly
Illuminated by the electric light. The
approach to the hall by sumptuous
staircase opening on a s'loggia" was
equally plctureSqe, for in the early part
of the evening the guests cOngregated
here behind the host to watch the ad-
vent of each new arrival.
Many of the costumes were gorgeous
in the extreme. Nine. Benardaky, for
instance, was dressed in superb Louis
Quinze costume, studded with precious
stones, that would have Overpowered
anybody else, but which, in this in-
stance, enhanced the queen-like beauty
of the wearer.
Then Nine. Gauthere au apparel in
a Diana costume, which had been Spe-
cially designed for her by the painter
Flameng, and not one woman III ten
thousand could have ventured to put 1t
on. AS this lady'S figure is simply per-
feet, she looked charming in semi
classical drapery, which, though often
seen in the statues of the eighteenth
century, has rarely been worn in real
life. Medieval magnateS were there IN
full force, and the younger men who dld
not appear in fancy dress wore the ef-
fective scarlet of the hunting field.
Not that all the costumes were mag
nifcent. Mile. Van Zandt. for instance.
attracted attention by the simplicity OF
her attire, for she chose the primitive
dress of Mignon, while NJ. DiaZ di Sorla
looked highly imposing as Abd-el-kader
A great sensation was produced by the
| entrance of NJ. Carolus Duran's family,
for one of his daughters was borne on a
| litter. while the other reelined in shut
palanquin, from which she speedily
emerged to the great delight Of the as
semblage, for, as those who have seen
the alon can imagine, she was one OF
| the bellies of the fete.
Litter and palanquin were preceded
and followed by fantaStically-caparl-
sOned Cinnamon bearing lanterns; but
| all these picturesque accessories would
have been Of no avail had it not been
for the bright, joyous geniality that
| reigned throughout the evening, and
was continued until the late morning.

tsf-1 these an exquisite
perfumed vase or jar that would scent
the parlor with sweetness during the
coming winter.
Never throw away a rose. no matter
how Withered," is a maxim that should
be impressed upon the mind of every
woman and man. If you do not come
into possession of many fresh roses, ask
your friends to save you theirs after
they are withered.
To make your rose jar, first, of course,
secure the jar. This may be deep
vase or a fancy Japanese jar, or. in fact,
any similar article. Pluck the petals of
the roses apart, and when quite free
from moisture drop thick layer OF
them into the jar, sprinkle well with
salt, add some more rose petals and re-
peat the process. Then cover the top
of the jar or vase with cloth or book,
and when more rose leaves come into
your possession add them i'll the same
way.
When the jar is half full sprinkle in
good handful of cloves, mace, CHINA
mon, nutmeg and other sweet-smelling
spices, and set the jar in cool, dry
corner of your parlor, and after a week
remove the cover. A faint, delicious
fragrance will be emitted from it. More
rose leaves and spices may be added
from time to time, and the jar may be
kept for half century.
Sweet flowers, such as Glove pinks
and verifmas, may be added, but they
do not retain their perfume like the

No Throne in Sight.

One day week or two ago lady from
Philadelphia brought letter of intro
duction to President Clevelend that in
sured her private interview. She was
accompanied by bright little son, aged
six years. The president received them
in his office, and sat by his desk and
talked in his friendly way with his Wis
itor. Presently the mother noticed her
boy frowning and sulking in his chair.
She whispered an inquiry as to the
cause of his apparent trouble. "Why,
mamma, he isn't sitting on throne and
he has no crown on his head. He is only
a man.

very wet day. came to place that was
almost impossible. While hesitating
which way to turn she was much con-

another little fellow, scarcely smaller,
whom he carried in his arms. why,

Not an Uncommon Disease.

A certain teacher had very smart"
air that was exceedingly distateful to
his pupils. One day when he had been
explaining a simple problem to the
primary class in a particularly aggra-

class looked up and said solemnly: IF
you amt careful you'll die of the cutes
some day." 1t was learned afterwards
that he had gained an idea that the cuteS

Black silk dresses are much worn

md is reserved more especially for ju-
venile frOckS or those of quite young
girls. Moss and grass green ribbons
are used to brighten up gray and other
neutrals such as Stone-cOlOr, fawn and
beige: also as an admirable finish to
Pompadour toilets, which continue to
hold their own against Empire infiu-

To the Holy Land, where he longed 10 60.

And could they be satisfied so.
How strange il seems that kings IN their pride
Have lived thwarted lives like ours and have
died
With the thing that they Ionged 10 do undone,
Til, unconquered, some from the grave have
cried
For their hearts to be carried on.
Yet never king had such stake
As /. in the journey long TO make
To a land, alas where 1 may not go;
But my heart must be carried there or break,
Whether living or dead, know.

Let me see your face, where your young hopes
shine.
You're loving, my darling, and strong and
true;
You'll journey, while vainly long and pine,
So my heart will send with you.
For yearn to follow your life, my sweet;
'Tis long hard way for your eager feet,
And can go only little part;
But, dear, till your pilgrimage is complete,
VIII you carry your mothers heart?

The FARMERS ALLIANCE
Look Out For the Sand.

That the political season is approach
ing is evident from the activity of the
politicians. Farmers should be very
careful how they commit themselves
to either OF the parties until they have
defined their position on our platform.
The active organization of Republican
and Democratic clubs should be left to
the politician alone. When you have
joined the club you are expected to vote
as the machine" dictates. We are not
IN the position this year to have our
eyes bandaged that I've cannot see, nor
our ears plugged that we cannot hear.
Our platform unanimously adopted de-
mands the punishment Of usury and a
free trade for our produce. Issues of
all kinds are being raised for the pur-
pose OF throwing sand in Uhr eyes.
The political orators are stuinping the
territory but we hear nothing through
them Of the two issues that to us must
be paramount. Why this silence:
Are they going to ignore us as did the
republicans two years ago. Or. like
the democrats, adopt our platform ant
then elect such men as Lawler aul
Green to fight it at every step? W.
must keep ourselves clear from all en-
tatglements SO that we may impartial
ly criticise the platform and see tina
the men PITT upon those platforms
have record stronger than the plat
forms. Beware of the clubs an,
