boulevard 100 feet or more in width from
Washington to Mount Vernon, on the Vir-

the right of way could be acquired with little
or no attending cost, and that on such a
grand way, between the national capital
and the tomb of Washington, there would
spring up rapidly many beautiful villas.
There is no doubt that as time goes on

From the Far West.

A letter from Rev. Father Murphy. dated July
30, to friend here received this morning and
contains the following items of interest He says:
Il have been tramping. during the last three
weeks all kinds of lands, and mingling
among all sorts Of people, but Minnesota. with her
people, surpasses anything that l have seen as
yet. Her fields are greener. her skies brighter,
her lakes and rivers sparkle with clearer waters.
Indeed it would be impossible within the compass
of letter to describe what have hear i,seen and
felt. l am very we'll and enjoying the best of

so ard rs cents.
AT the close of the usual exercises last Sunday
Prof. j. w. Dickinson, director Of the School Of
Oratory. Minneapolis, read Robert of Sicily"
The delivery fine and much appreciated by
his hearers. Such treats are rare in prison. The
Professor was here once before and it is hoped
that he will come again.
If Dr.. Brown Sequard will now invent some
method Of cutting life off in chunks per order
of the district judges he will solve the problem
of prison reform. By this means instead of send
ing the criminal to prison, certain portion of his
earthly existence could be Clipped off and charged
up on the left.side of profit and loss account in
the social ledger.
One of THE MIRROR Office force detailed
last Tuesday to take an inventory of all the tools
and various other articles belonging to the state.
This duty called him in all parts Of the prison yard
and shops and during his pereginations he kept
his weather eye open for items for our columns
The results of his observations will be published
in our next issue.
Capt. and Mrs. c. A. slocum of Charles City,
Iowa, made a short visit at the prison Wednesday.
The Captain was here on business in behalf of one
of the inmates, and it is needless to say he en-
joyed himself in forming the acquaintance of some
of the "old vets in and about the prison. Mrs.
SIocum is we'll known by her Sunday school and
w. c. T. u. work in northern Iowa.
An outside friend of THE MIRROR sent US an
alegorical representation of Wisdom In the shape
of IA quintette of the owl family in solemn con-
clave on the trellis work of red oak. The four
owls and the owlet represent the regular MIRROR
force. The ''devil' nestles quite closely to the
editor. who is represented as the sage of the fam
lily. The two compositors look serene as typo

Watson. The sermon, by Rev. Watson. treated of
the oft-iterated question. rs there anything in
religion or Cbristianity?' The text was l. Corin-

experience. Persons entertain theories about
Christianity If they really knew what spiritual life
is, their hopes of heaven would expand and their

and are introduced to suitable person, whom
you consider satisfactory. But to ensure that
your estimation is correct you go to the mans
former partner, and if he confirms your judgment
you feel perfectly safe in taking him your as

Does religion submit itself to such test? The
skeptical say no: but religion has stood the most
rigid tests could try. Religion is good for all
time. When the Grim Messenger stamps his seal
on mans face, he needs something more than
mere speculation to fall back on. Like Job in his

Effect of Word-Painting.

A wealthy man W no owns a country
residence recently became dissatisfied
with it and determined to have
another. So he instructed a real estate
agent famous for his descriptive
powers to advertise it for private sale,
but to conceal the location, telling pur-
chasers to apply at his Office. In few
days the gentleman happened to see
the advertisement, was pleased with
the account of the place, showed it to
his wife and the two concluded it was
just what they wanted and they would
secure it at once So he went to the
Office of the agent and told him that
the place he had advertised was such
a one as b e desired, and he would
purchase it The agent burst into a
laugh and told him that it was a de-
scription of his own house where he was
then living. He read the advertise
ment again, cogitated over the grassy
slopes" beautiful vistas," smooth
lawns" etc. and broke out: as it
possible? Well. make out my bill for
advertising and expenses, for, by
George! wouldn't sell the place now
for three times what it cost me-

RINGS OF CONCElT.
Talismans That Are Supposed to Hold OF
Misfortune and Sickness.

Taiismans That Are supposed to Hold On
Misfortune and sickness.
Is madamoiselle troubled because the
opal is restored by fashion to high
favor? Surely not; for she must now
discredit all the i'll that she has ever
heard of this wonderful gem with its
heart of fire. The true legand of the
opal is not that it brings misfo rtune,
but that the possessor of it is beloved
alike of God and man. So you may
wear your opal in content, and enjoy
its soft beauty with all your heart, sure
that it will bring you nothing but hap
piness. An opal that is rarer than the
fire opal is the blue opal. This has a
silvery, blue charm in its marvellous
depths, which shades to cleaning gold
and the soft opacity of the pearl. Heat
and cold seems to effect this gem; the
blue will be most intense in warm
atmosphere, while in colder tempera-
ture it will be as softly silvery almost
as the moonstOne.
But with all the brilliant gems she
must not overlook the moonstone, the
magic stone that brings good luck to
its possessor, the talisman that holds off
misfortune. It may not represent so
much in value as the other rings, but
it is one of the most important of all,
or, at least. she must imagine so, or
she will not be quite in the
fashion. And, beside the moonstone
she must have one other stone
.'for luck" set in a ring that
should never leave her finger. This
ring should hold the gem that rules or
represents the month of her birth.
This, like the moonstone. is talismanic.
If she is born in January, she must
wear garnet; if in February, amethyst;
if in March bloodstone; if she is an
April child. the sapphire is hers; that
she opened her eyes in smiling May,
she may claim the diamond; for leafy
June the emerald is the type; July is
controlled by the sardonyx, August by
the carnelian, Sc ptember by the chry-
sahte, October by the beryl, November
by the topaz, while DEFENDERS child
may wear the ruby. As for the set
ting, that may fall on the within of the
wearer. 1t is not how she has it, but
what she has, when she tries to propi-
tiate fate with her talismans. Let us
hope that she may be successful, and
that with the moonstone may come
good fortune, with the opal happiness,
with her birthday stone content, and
with them all a happy life, sweet
sequel TO h er bright girlhood. Boston
