His Wife as He Saw Her.

and agitation of public life by domestic

His description of his wife is too long
to quote, but we must give an epitOnle
of it. OF her beauty he said it didl'not
arise from feature, from complexion or
from shape; ''she has all that in high
degree, but it is not by these she touches
the heart; it is all that sweetness of
temper, benevOlence. innocence and
sensibility which face can express that
forms her beauty. Her eyes have mild
light. but they awe you when she
pleases; they command, like a good
man out of Office, not by authority, but
bv virtue. Her stature is not tall, she
is not made to be the admiration OF
everybody, but the happiness of one.
She has all the firmness that does not
exclude delicacy; she has all the soft
ness that does not impy weakness.
Her voice is a low. soft music, not
formed to rule public assemblies. but to
charm those who can distinguish COM
pany from a crowd; it has this advan-
tage, YOU must come close to her to hear
it. 10 describe her body describes her
mind; one is the transcript of the other.
She discovers the right and wrong of
things, not by reasoning, but by sa-
gacitv. No person of so few years can
know the world better; 10 person was
ever less corrupted by that knowledge.
She has true generosity of temper, the
most eXtravagant cannot be more un-
bounded in their liberality, the most
covetous not more cautious in their dis
tributien. Her politeness seems to flow
rather from natural disposition to
obIlge than from any rules on the sub
ject.
at is long before she' chooses, but
then it is fixed forever, and the first
hours of romantic friendship are not
warmer than hers after the lapse OF
wears. AS she never disgraces her good
nature by severe reflections on anybody,
so she never degrades her judgment by
immoderate or 'ill-placed praises, for
everything violent is contrary to her
gentleness of disposition and the even
ness of her virtue"

A detective in ore of the big retail
stores in Sixth avenue, where holiday
goods are sold. walked up to we'll
dressed woman yesterday. and. touch
ing her gently on the shoulder, said
softly:
MADAME, you will please step this
way with me.''
The store was full Of people intent
on purchasing Christmas presents, but
the thing was so quietly done that even
the SaleSgirl behind the counter did not
know what had happened, says the
New York World. The woman blushed,
appeared to realize her position and
accompanied the detective quietly to a
room on an upper floor. The detective
who had been walking behind and
watching her all the while. so that she
could not drop or throw anything away.
pushed open the door and summoned a
female assistant, who searched the
woman. This is what she had cOn-
cealed about her person: One bolt of
fine silk, silver chatelaine watch, six
bits Of expensive bric-a-brac and three
pairs of gloves. All of the articles bore
the private mark of the firm, except the
gloves, and they were readily recog
nized as belonging to one Of the shops
further down the street.
The searcher and the woman came
out OF the apartment, and the detective
again took the shoplifter in charge. He
asked her number of questions, made
her tell her name and address, her hus-
bands business and other things about
herself. Then the detective escorted
her down stairs and introduced her to
the floor walkers in the various depart
ments, one by one. He explained to
each who she was and what she had
done, and told them to take good look
at her so that they could recognize her
again. When this unpleasant formality
had been gone through with the detec
tive escorted her to the door and said:
Don't come into this place again; if
you do Pll lock you up-remember!"

deny herself the articles of finery she has

more than likely that she will steal in
order to delight her friends with choice
Christmas gifts, just as she did in days
gone by. There is nothing about a
woman's actions to attract detectives
attention, and if she is caught in the
act of stealing it is a mere accident nine
times out of ten.

The LATEST man that ever lived was
Dawdle Slug. Morn, noon and night he
seemed to be sleeping, and when he
undertook to eat he chewed so languidly
that his jaws would frequently get
caught on the center and hang there in
mOveless pose by the hour. In the
course of time Mr.. Slug died. and, as
might have been expected, he died
without struggle. After he had been

Maud Finds a New Way to
Clean Dusty Stove
Pipes.
The Agent Who Blandly
Cracked Up the Charms
of a Furnace.
Every Indication That We Are
Going to Have a Cold
Winter.

The easy and graceful liar who con-
Quoted the negotiations when my wife
aud / rented our house, was particularly
enthusiastic in regard to the merits OF
the Old tin furnace in the cellar. tie
said that il was a heater from Heaters
vile. and that the former tenants mad
left because they couldn't keep cool
during the winter. They had been liV-
ing in Maine and really couldn't stand
a house that was too comfortable in the
month of February.
oeIt doesn't burn scarcely any coal,
said he. There's party that wants
this house now. but don't dare to move
in for fear of rupturing a lifelong
friendship with the coal dealer on ac-
count of this furnace"
AS this conversation occurred In the
middle of August, we were obliged to
take the agents word for it. During
the recent cold wave we have expert
mented with the furnace, and l have
called upon the agent: but as he was
not at home after he had read the name
on my card. returned without commit

department in case Of fire. She coughed
violently as | entered and remarked:
"Howdy, I'm afraid somebody's broken

FUNERAL MARCH,

(CHoPIN.)
Measured are the PAGES
Set for her TO walk,
Passed, the row of faces,
Spoken, all the talk.
Ending Now thanksgiving
For her journey done,
For her span of living
Spent beneath the sim.
She was so sweet and tender.
So fair on the earth,
No praises we could lend her
Can show her worth,
How, from her birth
To her last suns setting
And life's forgetting /
She brought flowers to deserts and plenty to
dearth.
And her soft eyes glances, /
All, me ah, me! /
Were the light that enchanees
The blue-rippled sea.
Tears Tears.
Give me tears all ye sounds, for the death
For her halt-filled measure of years.
For the pleasant paths where she might
not linger.
Mighty art thou,
Oh. Death!
We gaze upon thee
III thy majesty,
And marvel, with bated breath
At the long straight line of thy plow,
Which turneth the earth i'll her season,
With hopeless, divine unreasOn,
Furrowing straight through stubble and
flower,
And the tender blade that timeless shower
Gave to life in the hour of its death,
Measured are the PAGES
Set for her TO walk.
Passed, the rows of faces,
Spoken, all the talk.
Ended Now tbenCSoiy;no
For her journey done,
For her span of living.
Spent beneath the sun.

In the South of France they make a
very peculiar love charm in q very pc
culiar way. Under certain ceremonies
the young woman catches and boxes up
a frog in box with a lot of little holes
bored in the wood. The casket is then
buried in an ant hill for two weeks.
The ants, of conrse, attack the
prisoner and eat up all the flesh.
and all that is left is the
creatures bones. Among these is a
shield-shaped bone about as large as
ones thumb nail, upon one end of
which is little hook. The girl takes
this bone and has 1T blessed surrepti-
tiously by the priest without his knowl-
edge-that is, she exposes it during the
benediction at the mass-and then she
hooks it on the clothing of her sweet
heart that is to be. The charm. when
properly prepared with all the due cere-
mony and care, has never been known
to fail.
