A Large Sum for a Bible.

A number OF wealthy French Jews wish to

writes the Paris correspondent Of the Lon.

not legally sell it, az be has only life ee.
tate in the Vatican and its wealth Of rare
books, pictures and furniture" The history
of previous negotiations for the purchase CT
this very book, says the Pail Mall Gazette.
is Interesting In 1912 when Pope Julius II
was desperately In need of funds In order to
keep up the Holy League" against Louis
MI. Of France he was approached by The
Jews, az bis successor In the chair of st.

small SUN at first, but subsequently, in
creased the amount, rendering at the same
time blank order on Que OF their number
in Venice to be filed up in ducats according
to the weight of the Bible as agans: sn
equal weight OF pure gold. The Pope gotso
far as TO weight the precious volume, and
found that it scaled 325 pounds avoirdupOis,
or 433 pounds odd troy, which at 81 the
ounce then about the value of gold, repre-
seuted over 100000 This amount 10 lis

who, however, either because be found bim-
self unable to part with property in which
he would not seem 10 have more than life
interest, or on account of the pressure
brought to bear op him, declined after much
beSitatiou 10 part with the vclume. Should
the present negotiations be more successful,
the au-cunt now offered will bs the largest
sum ever paid for book. The nearest ap-

Literary Wives.

Generalization upon the domestic fe-
llcity or infelicity of literary women are
utterly worthless. People in married
life are not happy according as they use
or do not use pen, but according as
they show themselves capable of prac-
ticing the lesser charities of life. II c
woman suddenly takes to literature with
out any real bent in that direction, her
husband Is likely to show himself as
anxious as wife who finds that her
husband, who has been soldier all his
life Is determined to become a stock
broker. In cases, however, where a
woman makes literature a successful vo-
cation, and at the same time does not
neglect the work she tacitly undertook TO
perform when she married, the notion
that she risks her happiness thereby is
absurd. Provided that she does not
overwork herself, the writing OF books
will, in itself. no more bring unhappl-
ness than It will felicity.

Black lace sleeves over black silk are
worn with gray silk gowns for light
mourning.
Steel trinkets, it is said, will be quite
the rage for this season. Garlands of
steel beads are mixed with pearls.
Coronets, necklaoes aud couture orua-
rnents show this odd combination.
Fancy odd jackets OF maizs silk
trimmed with black lace have alternate
rows OF fine tucking and feather-stitch-
ing in black silk around the neck,
bnsque. aud at the back Of each sleeve.
There are others in cream, pale blue,
delicate lilac and blush pink. All have
ribbons around the whist, tying over and
falling.
Long polon1ises OF striped cheviot,
cloth. silk, etc., have priucesse back
end sides, with the back laid in round or
organ plaits below the weist-line, with u
slightly draped skirt front opened on one
side over panel of contrasting goods.
The bodice front is pointed and has Y
filed In with the panel fabric aud large

Monument to Al Hayne.

For the Gazette.
Let the whole-souled magnanimity that
has ever characterized the generous oiti-
zens Of Fort Worth be exemplfed ID q
grand monument to the memory Of our
noble hero, Al Hayne. In thus com :
memorating him we also perpetuate the
the name Of the fairy-like structure in
which he SO touchingiy lost his life.
Though nothing but ashes remains OF our
beautiful Spring Palace, 1t will long re-
tain vivid place IN the memory of young
and old. What delightful recolleotions
cluster around the name. II brings o
glow Of joy to the brow of the old man,
whose imagination pictured before him
its many dazzling beauties. The old
woman listens again to the rapturous
strains of thrilling music. The young
lady's cheek has brighter hue as she
hears in fancy the tender tones of an
ardent lover, and the young man gazes
again into the Dewitching eyes of some
fascip e:ing sorceress. Each one of us
viii ever associate with its name some of
the greatest pleasures of our life and will
cherish tender recollections of It. What
could be more appropriate than a
splendid towering monument erected to
the memory OF one whose world-re-
uowned hsroism has forever embalm ed
him In our affections aud so closely
aIfied him 10 our enchanting and sadly
lameuted Spring Palace.

From, n Japanese Loom.

Advices from Toxic say that on extra
ordinary piece of Japan weaving, which
is now in the international exhibition at
Toxic, will shortly find its way to New
York having been purchased for SIP 1000
10y broker on behalf OF rich Arneri-
can, whose name Is not given. II is of
the design known IS tsuzure-ori, or
pierced weaving. It ia OF great size,
the design being equestrian archery, an
old world employment In Japan, and one
which has often been used for purposes
of illustration and design by Japanese
artists. The distinctive feature Of this
kind of weaving is that the whole mar
gin of the design is perforated like ths
joining of postage stamps. go that when
the whole piece is held up TO the light
the design of the artist seems to be sus.
pended In the body OF the fabric.
In Japan this kind of weaving has
been regarded as a tour de force of the
artist, and this particular piece of tap
estrv is the largest ana finest and has
commanded the highest price OF any
thing OF the kind yet produced.
