A Ride Across Europe.

A correspondent in Paris sends me-
an interesting account of Lieutenant
Asseyeff's ride from Lubni, in Poltava,
to the Paris Exhibition. He is only %
years old. When he determined to 20
to Paris he followed the Gear Nicholas
method of laying out route, with
difference. He did not use q ruler; he
took thread, and, stretching it across
the map from Lubni to Paris, marked
off his route in a straight line. Then
he started on horseback alone. Lieut..
AsseyeH rode one horse and led an
other, on the Turcoman system, riding
each horse ON alternate days. One
steed was haf-English and half-Don
Cossack, the other was of pure Rus
sian breed. He rode ON an average .
little over fifty miles day, and COW
cred the whole distance in thirty days.
The cost of riding across Europe with
. couple of saddle-horses was only
ESQ, or about twenty shilings day.
If it can be done as cheap IS this,
equestrian tours viii become common.

A WOMAN'S WARDROBE.
How to Dress Well on Fifty Dollars
a Year, Provided You are Smart.
detroit Free Press.1

It is subject of remark that Miss A
or Mrs. B. can dress as well as they
do, on an apparently very small income,
but those ladies understand the art of
shopping. They attend the special sales
and secure bargains, and are their own
milliners and dressmakers. 1t will be
noticed that they do not indulge in
cheap fnery or tawdry colors. What
they have is of good quality, and so
quiet in color and texture, that it gives
them the appearance of being very well
dressed, without challenging attention
to details. They observe the French
rule of being well gloved and well boot
ed. They dispense with lace and rib
bon bows. Instead of fourishing hand
kerchiefs that cost quarter, with
Greek border in red or blue, they carry
unostentatiously q neat white null,
with hemstitched or embroidered edge,
fit for any lady in the land and war
ranted not to fade. They wear black
hosiery and keep them in order by
washing and mending them at home.
Here is table prepared by lady who
is teacher in the Detroit schools,
which gives list of the necessary gar
ments with price appended. It is, of
course, presumable that the wearer has
some of her former costume left to be.
gin this year with, and that she will
have dress, cloak and spring jacket to
carry over next season for second best:

LIFE IN DEATH.

By DORA READ GooDALK.
By borders deep in mint and clover
walked the graveyard's lonely square,
Whose grassy mounds, all blossomed over
Lie basking in the sunny air;
Through all the hazy August weather
Their silent -nants sleep beneath,
Where youth and age in dust together
Are equal heirs of Death.
Vain record now of love and pleasure,
OF mirth and beauty, born to die;
The sunken stones, in mourning measure
Bespeak sorrow long run dry,
Like dusty letters, quaint of fashion,
Some old forgotten chest displays,
Whose yellowing leaves yield up their passion
In many courtly phrase.
The maid with every grace upon her
Has slipped the arms that held her fast,
To share alike with shame and honor
The sweet oblivion of the past.
Not one of all the loved and loving
Who watched about her shining head
Returns at nightfall, darkly moving
To dream above the dead,
Yet warmth and faith and youths emotion
Our dusty paths with fragrance fill;
That girlish lot of bright devotion
In silent teaching quickens still
Beyond the ranks of mint and clover,
The lonely graveyards shady square,
Her influence moves a gray-haired lover
Unguessed, immortal there!

This story is told of Professor Butler,
of the Wisconsin State University, who
represented the Badger State at the Ohio
centennial celebration. He Is an earnest
advocate of healthy out-of-door exercise
for persons of sedentary habits, and on
one occasion q few years ago took occasion
to impress upon the students under him
the necessity of securing plenty OF pure
air. In the course of his talk he declared
that walk around Lake Mendoto would
not be too great strain on the muscles:
To prove the truth of his statement and
set an example for his students, the pro
fessor set out one day to encircle the
lake on foot. The distance was greater
than he had supposed, and when he was
near the insane hospital his legs had be-
come 30 swollen that he could not pro
coed further. He therefore seated him
self on the ground and elevated his feet
on the fence, to reduce the swelling.
While he was in this position two men
drove up in . wagon, and after q brief
whispered consultation one of them said
ssThats him; he must be crazy man.
And Professor Butler was bundled into
the wagon and taken to the insane hos
pital as an escaped patient.

Now here is balance of 81 which
may be applied to parasol for summer,
or an extra bonnet for winter. The
money saved on cloak and jacket for the
second winter may be turned into
handsome cloth dress.
There are those who, reading this list,
will say: "What nonsense, hat fit to
wear for 81. It is impossible" It
would seem so. But the writer of this
article saw a handsome hat that cost
less. It was q gray rough-and-ready,
q pretty and becoming shape that cost
at q special sale six cents. 1t was
trimmed with gray cloth to match the
costume, with two white wings which at
the sale were four cents each. The
wearer trimmed it herself. A young
lady who holds o responsible position in
the Detroit post Office wore dress one
summer which was the admiration OF all
her friends. It was suitaloe for COM
pany outfit, and the material cost just
IS cents. She made it herself

between his whitened lips, but again
the doctor grasped his arms and forced
him into his seat. The instrument,
whatever it might be, in the machinery
box whirred and whizzed. Suddenly,
with convulsive effort the doctor could
not restrain, the old man rose from the

head, and shrieked out:

The period between Paul Harley's
committal by the Coroner and his APP
pearance before the jury was one of al
most unmitigated horror to him, the
only relief in fact being the almost con-
slant presence of Harold Proudfoot and
Helen, the latter of whom had thrown
all reserve aside and had boldly avowed
her love for Paul and her perfect conf
dence in him and belief in his innocence.
Her brother secured leave of absence
from his editorial duties and gave him
self up to the task of proving his friendis
innocence, finding much more difficulty
than he had at first supposed. Harold
worked hard and manfully. but the case
seemed hopeless, until one day about q
week before the trial. He spent the af-
ternoon sitting in the room in which the
crime was committed trying to reconcile
his own theory of an interrupted bur-
glary ending In murder and the sudden
fight Of the robber, with tho known
facts and the position Of the room. He
