LITTLE HElRESSES.
Two Vanderbilt Girls Whose Combined
Fortune Amounts to $50, 100000.

Two Vanderbilt Girls Whose Combined
Fortune Amounts to SEQ, 100000.
There were two little girls at Newport
last summer who attracted more than
the ordinary interest attached to chill
dren of wealthy people. These two
maidens were Gertrude and Consuelo
Vanderbilt, and in few years they will
be the richest heiresses in society.
They are not sisters, but cousins, and
as entirely dissimilar in appearance and
character as though no drop of the same
blood flowed in their veins. But they
are close companions and apparently
fond of one another, and when one drives
out in her little dogcart the other is sure
to appear also.
Gertrude is the oldest daughter of
Cornelius Vanderbilt. She is about thir-
teen years old, and the fairies have given
her the fair beauty of the ''Snow Prin-
cess" as well as her pot of gold. She
has long curls, deep blue eyes, and oval
face and pearly complexion. She is tall
for her age, and has such a pretty, will
lowy little figure, dainty hands and
slender, arched feet. Her nature is
sweet and sunny. Naturally shy with
strangers, she is full of merriment with
those she knows.
Little Consuelo is about the same age
and is the Oldest of w. X. Vanderbilts
children. She is named for Lady Man
deville, and is an odd little creature,
with a thin, graceful little figure and
dark Mignon face, lit by two serious
o,,I ;,,l,4
as stars. Her hair is like tangle of
dark shadows about her head, and her
little mouth, which often has such mu-
tinous curves, is as scarlet as a pome-
granate.
She has been twice around the world
in the Alva, and in many strange coun-
tries, and the little sprite can talk in
Japanese and Italian as we'll as in Ger
man and French. In fact she is as
highly educated as though she was a
princess royal, plays classical music and
sketches, rides and drives, and knows
more about the stars and the waves than
many college graduate.
Some day each of these children will
probably have fortune of at least S10,-
100000, and when they make their de-
but into society they will eclipse all
other heiresses of the time. Both girls
are always simply dressed, pretty ging-
hams trimmed with white embroidery,
russell shoes and big flower-trimmed
hats for the morning, and soft white
mulls and muslins with broad sashes,
white hats and fine black stockings and
patent-leather ties for the afternoon.
They are never seen at night, but are
tucked away in their little beds, sleeping
the beauty sleep that will grow them
into beautiful young women. They
spend their days playing tennis, horse
back riding, driving their ponies to lit
tie light, wood dogcarts, and go to
dancing and swimming schools. Each
girl has governess who devotes her en-
tire time to her pupil, and if they do not
grow into beautiful, cultivated women,
it will not be from lack of attention.

MEMORY'S MUSIC.

The old man sits in the sunshine of the autumn
afternoon,
And Memory, over and over, sings to the same
old tune,
While the ripened leaves are falling like rain on
his silver head,
A song of the days that's vanished and the dear
ones that are dead.
It sings of the beautiful summer that came with
dream Of love,
TO make fair world fairer. "True heart, in the
world above"
He whispers low, as he listens to the song by
Memory sung,
''The love will live on forever that came while
we were young"
There comes change in the singing-a lullaby's
low refrain;
He hears the heart OF the mother beat in the
music's strain;
He sees her again with her baby Graded upon
her breast;
t.s,se,stiSf; the graves on the hillside, his
heart is abrim with rest.
minor creeps
And again by the baby's cradle the old man
kneels and weepS;
The sound of the mothers moaning is heard in
the sorrowful strain
The plant of arms that are empty where lost
little one has lain.
o, wonderful memory music, in whose strange
measures blend
The sorrowful things of lifetime, and the joys
that never end;
Over and over the dreamer's past is lived each
day,
AS he sits at life's twilight thinking of those
who are far away.
And yet, at his side forever are those whom he
loved so much;
He feels his dead wife's Kisses and the baby
fingers touch.
Thank God o gray-haired dreamer, that when
the heart grows DID,
The magic of Memory's music keeps out life's
frost and cold.

AMBER AND AMBERGRIS.
How and Where These Two Valuable
Substances Are Obtained.

Substances Are Obtained.
Ambergris, which is used as a basis
for nearly all standard perfumery, was
first found an unattractive mass floating
on the surface of the sea or lodged upon
the shore. How so unlikely a substance
ever suggested itself as perfume is
unknown, but it has been in use for CEN
turtles, and it is only in comparatively
recent times that it's origin has become
known. 1t is nothing more than the
morbid secretion of the liver of sick
spermaceti whale. 1t is described as a
fatty, waxy substance, disagreeable to
sight or touch, but even in its crude
state exhaling a pleasant odor. The
crude substance is subjected to chemical
action to extract the active principle
called amberine. 1t was recently re-
ported that Maine fisherman picked
up mass of the substance which nearly
filled barrel and is worth $4,000 This
is probably an eXaggeration both as to
size and price, for the largest piece on
record was found on the Windward
Islands, weighing 100 pounds. This
was sold for about $4,000.
Amber was also first found on the
shores of the sea after severe storms.
For time its origin was unknown, but
it was early put to use and regarded
with superstitious awe by the ancient
Greeks and Romans, its peculiar cleo
trical qualities being noted by them. 1t
is now thought to be the gum of forest
trees which persisted ages and ages ago,
the lands upon which they persisted hav-
ing become the oceans bed. Amber has
no fixed value, the price being regula-
ted wholly by size, quality and other
considerations. Drops of amber in
which are imbedded insects of those an
cient times command fancy prices, while
the more common kinds are used for
,sn in medicine. The worlds supply
| Of the two, amber and ambergris, does
not wholly depend upon what may be
accidentally found. Dredging for am
Der is now Systematically carried on by
regularly organized companies, and all
spermaceti whales killed by whalemen
are subjected to a pretty thorough post
mortem examination, the find of amber
girls in the monsters interior often be-
ing vastly more valuable than the oil
extracted from his blubber or&rcoat.-

A ROMAN GIRLS DOLLS.
Interesting Things Discovered in the
Course of Recent Excavations.

Interesting Things Discovered in the
Course of Recent Excavations.
In the course of some excavations at
Rome for some new law courts, which
are to be erected, two sarcophagi have
been discovered. One of them proved
to be of great interest. In it was the
skeleton of girl and around her were
her ornaments, pieces of the linen which
had wrapped her, falling rapidly to dust,
broken myrtle leaves brown with time,
evidently the wreath with which she
had been crowned in death, the myrtle
emblematic of her youth. On the bones
of the fingers were four rings, one of
these the double betrothal ring of plain
gold, another with the name of the be-
trothed, ''Filetus," engraved on it. A
large and most exquisite amethyst
brooch in Etruscan setting of the finest,
carved amber pins and gold necklet
with white small pendants were lying
about. But what is most strange, as
being almost unique, doll of oak wood
beautifully carved, the joints articu-
lated SO that legs and arms and
hands move on sockets, the hands and
feet daintily cut with small and deli
cate nails, the features and the hair
carved out in the most minute and care
full way, the latter waving low on the
forehead and bound with fillet. From
these remains and from touching
sculpture on the sarcophagus we can tell
the story of Tryphaena Creperia, for so
her name is given, with nothing more
to identify her. 1t is known that when
girls were betrothed in early times
their dolls were presented as an offering
to Venus, so this young girl had doubt
less been betrothed to Filetus, who had
presented her with the double ring, and
with one on which was engraved his
name, when fatal illness overlook her
on the very threshold of life. In the
carved stone-work of the coffin Try
phaena is represented lying on a low
bed, trying to raise herself on her left
arm to speak to her disconsolate father,
who stands leaning on the bedstead, his
head bowed with grief. The mother
sits on the bed, her head covered, weep
ing. Such is the parting, and the orna-
ments which were to have been for the
bridal of their child are laid by loving
hands in her tomb, where she has slept
unknown for nearly eighteen centuries.

cream beaten to a stiff froth.
"A table may be covered with crim-
son plush, with valance or lambrequiu
of macreme cord tackled on with gilt
headed tacks and satin ribbons run
through the macreme.
Apple and Lemon Salad: Slice equal
quantities of apples, the sour green
cooking apples and small tine-rinded
lemons. Dress them with oil, vinegar,
pepper and salt, and teaspoonful of
moist sugar, as above, well-miXed and
serve.-London Caterist journal.
Dressing for Boiled Beets: One.
half pint vinegar, one tablespoon sugar,
one tablespoon butter, pinch of salt.
Stir it all together, and when it boils,
add one-fourth of cup of cream into
which has been stirred one teaspoonful
of fiour.-Yankee Blade.
"A bag for knitters may consist sim,

with silk, around it at short intervals
about three inches from the edge. Silk

one in the middle, complete tlsis pretty

Stands should be made ready for the
tender plants that are to be kept in the
house over winter. Geraniums, coleus
and other plants must be ported without
delay. The roots of dahlias should be
stored where the frost will not reach
them, as also those of cannas and the
bulbs of gladiolus. The roots of hardy
roses left in the ground should be well
covered with earth by banking around
them.
Plain Fry: Select large, firm, fresh
oysters. Beat an egg and into this dip
the oysters, then into some cracker dust,
or finely rolled bread crumbs. Fry in
hot butter. Season to suit the taste.
Let them fry until they are a golden
brown. All surplus grease may be done
away with if the oysters are laid on a
sheet of clean MANILA paper for mo-
ment or two before serving.
Ounce Pudding: Peel, slice and
par oil; then remove to fresh water and
stew like apples; flavor with nutmeg
and let cool. Make cream sauce of
one cup sugar, two eggs, one tablespoon
-four, and one pint new milk, prepare
and boil to the thickness of cream, then
place layer of fruit in baking dish,
then a layer of toasted bread crumbs,
and pour over it the cream sauce, the
whites of two eggs, beaten with two
spoonfuls sugar; put the frosting on the
pudding and brown lightly.-The House.
keeper.
-Broiled Oysters: Grease your fine
wire gridiron, and dry fine, large oys-
tiers and place upon it, and broil quickly
over hot Goals. Have ready some pieces
of buttered toast upon hot platter and
lay one or two of the oysters upon each
piece; put bit of butter and little
pepper and salt upon each one and serve
hot as possible. To my taste this is the
best way to cook oysters, as broiling
seems to give them flavor obtained in
no other method of cooking. To fry
them, dry roll in cracker dust and fry
brown in hot lard, or lard and butter,
half and half. Serve with tomato catsup
or chill sauce.-Detroit Free Press.
