Very Tempting.

half column of "ads" of summer
boarding houses in Maine, the very
reading of which is enough to make one

of these is SO unique that 1 give the
proprietor the benefit of the News's cir
culation: Norway, Me-, Mineral spring;
grand view; milk; cream; eggs;
vegetables; meat piano; marine glass

included, however, good beds, clean

CUPID IN CHINA.
A Statue Which Is Supposed to Be
the Patron Deitv of Lovers.

A traveller from Lien-Kiaug, in the
Foo-Choo Prefecture (China), relates the
following curious custom prevalent there
among the superstitious people: "Just
outside the city gate of Lien-Kiaug is a
lake, in area over 100 king "a king
is 100 'mow,' or Is. acres). By the lake
is an ancient tomb of some distinguished
officer of state, before which, as
guardians, stand facing each other two
colossal statues, one representing a civil
and the other a military official. The
former has his back to the lake and his
face to the west; the latter has his back
to the hill and faces east. Long years
have they stood there, in lifelike atti-
tude, absorbing the warmth of the sun
by day and bathed in the pure rays of
the moon by night, until at
last, in popular belief, they have
become ling-acquired life and power
the stone civilian in all love troubles.
The perfumed smoke of incense curls
round his kindly, thoughtful face, and
complaints OF conjugal unhappiness and
longings Of suffering lovers for meeting
are whispered into the cold ear of this
mandarin, but only whispered so as not
to be overheard by his military colleague,
who stands there forbidding and frown-
ing as if he had sterner affairs to attend
to than poor lovers woes.
A twisted grapevine is very stylish for
a handle. Red crepe is combined with
black mountings. White and goldis is the
most elegant combination seen. Van
dyke points of lace have the silk cut
away from under them, leaving trans
parent border around the edge with the
point up.
The handles are long, but not as long

day, but not enough to afford much
relief. Prostrations are still very nu-
merous, and there were quite a number
of deaths at various points today. All
the cities in the states named report an
alarming increase in the mortality list,
the weather being especially severe on
children and invalids.

New YORK, June 29.-Talking about
Ell Rio Rey returning, Crowley says: 81
examined Ell Rio Rey at st. Louis and
pronounced him roarer, and ex-
pressed the opinion that he could not
race in his true form in the near future
at least, although tracheotomy was
found to greatly benefit him, and as
there is possibility of the horse recov-
ering, Mr.. Winter has decided to send
him home, and in the spring breed some
Of his mares to him, and then try him
again, While there are many races Ell
Rio could win in his present condition,
Mr.. Winter would not punish him by
training him as he is. If the colt does
not get perfectly well he will be kept in
the stud.
