WRITER on architecture has made the prop

buildings, just as painters sign their pictures

another country and clever forgery substituted
Tor II, as has occurred SO often in Italy with
paintings There seems to be no reason, he

refused the privilege of carving his name legi-

signed, so long as the signature does not obtrude
Itself unduly. or interfere with the looks and
dignity OF the structure.
In A LETTER from Mr. Gladstone to the editor
of the Lowell Morning Mdh, the 'grand old
m'n" denies that in advocating home rule for
Ireland he is actuated by party considerations,
| and to show the extent to which the contrary ia
true he states that after the tories succeeded
him in 1885 he used every effort, public and pri-
| vate, TO induce them to take the question up,
promising them his hearty support In its final
| adjustment. He has also encouraged the ma
| tlonalsts to keep themselves free to accept a
| solution of the question whenever and from
whomsoever it might come. The SUCCESS of the

ABOUT three months and q half ago the
schooner Mosquito, from the Mosquito coast of
Central America, dropped alongside Pier II, in
the East river, New York, and unloaded her
cargo of rubber and cocoanuts. The schooner
carried In her deck cargo barrel containing
two small boa constructors which some thrifty
sailor had brought along as private importa-
ton. During the discharge of the cargo this
fateful and snakeful barrel got tipped over, and
dent was their opportunity, glided gently away
and hid in the shadows under the pier. The
other day two workmen on the pier were sur
prlsed to see snakes head pop up through a
crack. They lassoed it with piece of wire
| drew the reptile out and killed it. It's length
was nearly five feet. The other snake is still at

OCCASIONALLY fashions start in New York and
swing through TO popularity at pace that at
tracts the attention even Of people who have no
direct interest in the attire of women. Such
| movement occurred last YEAR with the lane
| Hading veil The most obtuse of men discov-
cred that new veil had come to town. and
| began to talk about it within month after
| Mime. Hading's arrival. Since that time nothing
mas come up which approached the sudden
popularity OF the veil until the little capes
which are just now affected by women came to
the surface. The cape. though a single gar
| ment looks as though composed of five or six
| capes. each one an inch or two shorter than the
other. They are patterned apparently after the
ones that have been worn by coachmen for the
last eight or ten years in New York and the
| fashion is said to have bsen set by Lady Beres
| ford, the wife of one of the most enthusiastic
coaching men of Great Britain. They are ex-
ceedlngly pretty and effective. and they seem to
please the men. Perhaps this is enc Of the re-
| suits aimed at.
| CAPT. THOMPSON, of the schooner Challenger
has just returned to San Francisco from long
cruise in the South Sea and along the South
| American coast. He had in his possession a
little black earthenware jar which was taken
with valuable jewelry, from the tomb of one of
the Peruvian lncas near Pisaqua. No tinted
pottery is made by modern Peruvians aud il ia
estimated that this jar was made in the time
| OF Cortez. The captain also secured one of the
Incas' teeth. He visited the battlefield of
met Nov. II, 1879, and the Peruvians, after
losing 1900 men, were forced to retreat. leav-
ing their dead unburied. "In any other conn
try, SAID the captain, these nburied corpses
| skeletons by wild animals or the. elements, but
| for over 100 miles on either side of the battle
ground there is not a spear of grass There
are consequently, no wild animals and the
bodies remained undisturbed by them. The
soil, too, is strongly impregnated with nitrate
| or soda, and this in connection with the hot.
| dry atmosphere, has converted men and horses
1uto perfect mummies. Seen on bright moon
light night, as first it, the battle appears
as if fought but day or two ago, the colors of
the uniforms being still bright, and the steel of
| their weapons untarnished.
The Boston Commonwealth learns Of a couple
who went through the marriage ceremony three
times before they were legally man and wife
Here's how it occurred: They had an imposing
church wedding A week later an intimate
friend of the bridegroom sought him out and
broke the news to him that he was not vet a

| authorized to perform the marriage ceremony
| The friend, however was equal to the occasion
He assured the dis mayed groom that he could
set matters all right, being himself a Justice of
the peace. Come to me-" he said, land /

possible manner, and nobody ever need know
