leans says of Miss Vickers who will APP
pear at the opera house tonight:
Gaylor's comedy drama entitled
"Jacquine or Paste and Diamonds,

her fine dancing, sweet singing and
sprightly methods deserved and elici'
ted the greatest applause throughout
Miss Vickers' support, including MIR.

up OF happy combination OF al
those things best calculated to give
emphasis to the special talents OF the
star. The play, which will he pro-

"The st. Charles theatre was

The specialities are very cleverly
given, and numerous recalls were
made upon the artists. Barney Fer

The ohlneae slll. restlval.

We, who are always grateful to our
benefactors, honor the inventor of the
art of silk culture with real perpetual
cult. Besides the temples which we have
erected q All tne corners Oh the empire,
her majesty the empress goes every year
at the Matching season, in person, with
all her suite, and in great pomp, to the
field of the mulberry, to sacrifice to the
goddess who was the queen of the En-
peror Hoang-Ti. After the ceremony at
the temple, her majesty, followed by her
ladies, goes into the field, and, surrounded
by the farmers wives, cooks some null
berry leaves and lays them on basket
containing the newly Matched worms.
The festival is closed with her winding
cocoon by way Of setting an example, in
the presence of the people, and distrib-
uting gifts to those persons who have
been reported by the authorities of their
villages as most worthy by reason of
their fidelity in attention to the care of
the silk worms.
This ceremony, which is one OF the
most important of those her majesty has
to perform during the year, is great
incentive to the silk raising population,
who cannot neglect their own work
when they see their sovereign occupied
in the same way. An old proverb says
that can idle farmer causes two persons
to die Of hunger, and woman who will
not weave will see ten dying Of cold"
The proverb illustrates the value of en-
enlargement, and shows that silk worm
raising and weaving are duties of the
women.--iChinese Silk LORE" by Gen.

A Courteous Prince.

"Do not be afraid, Louis" said the
Empress Eugene, holding her son in her
arms.
81 am not, mamma, answered the boy
of IL; 81 have not forgotten that my
name is Napoleon"
The cutter in which the empress and
her son were being conveyed at night
from steamer had struck rock, and
the waves were dashing over 1t at the
time this conversation took place.
The young prince, who afterward lost
his life in the war between the English
and the Zulus, had one trait not common
to children-he treated his playmates
and all who served him with marked
courtesy. The favorite companion OF his
sports was Louis Conneau, the son of the
emperor's physician. They were daily
together, and many storms ruffied their
intercourse.
One day, when there was to be state
dinner at the Tuileries, at which the
prince was not to appear, he invited
Louis Conneau to dine with him. Both
lads were very fond of strawberry cream,
and the prince, in order to give an agree
able surprise to his playmate, requested
that dish to be prepared for the dessert.
During the morning the two boys
quarreled, and Louis Conneau returned
home. The prince, too proud to show
any emotion at his playmate's departure,
took his seat at the dinner table and
tried to eat. But when tho strawberry
cream appeared his self control gave
way. The tears rolled down his cheeks,
as he said to servant:
Take the cream to Conneau, and tell
him / haven't the heart to eat it without
himl"-Youth's Companion.

Something Almond Good-nxs.

Every now and then. as we journey
through this vale from the cradle to the
grave, it becomes necessary for us to
say good-by. Generally it is said in sad
ness and with sigh. We wiring the
hand Of the departing friend, the sor-
rowful tears are shed, then the bell rings
and the train goes around the curve.
This is the good-by that sticks in the
throat like large three cornered lump
and persistently refuses to be swallowed.
After this kind of farewell we go home
feeling that something has gone out of
life. We are like the man who puts his
foot for another step at the top of the
dark stairway and finds suddenly that it
isn't there
Then there is the farewell that Is said
with hilarious chuckle oil JOY. We say
it to the bill collector, whom we have
with us always, or have had for a long
time. We say it to the BORE. the spring
poet, to the man who reads the exchanges
and to the writer who invariably refers
to bear as bruin. ~,
The sweetest good-by is that Of the
girl at her fathers front gate, when only
you or and the girl and twinkling stars
are present. To some of US it is only d
memory, this kind of farewell, but it
is memory that will remain fresh and
green long after we have passed that
callow age.

dered about the hills like one lost. He
had no purpose in life, so used to ask
him to do the chores about the place to
engage his mind with something. One
day asked him to go out and kill deer,
as we were out of meat. Whether he
committed suicide or whether the gun
was accidentally discharged shall never
day, about two miles from the cabin,

gun could have been accidentally dis
charged, as found the body in a small
thicket of willows, and while passing
through it, the hammer might have
caught on twig, and so discharged the
gun.

graves, thought the first time came
to Leadville that 1 would tell you the
story about the two graves in Lonely
Gulch.' Few people know the history
of those that lie sleeping in that little

Yesterday as Mr. j. came out Of his
house, lie found the dog-who always,
when the carriage starts, goes circling
about the horses head, barking with Joy
waiting for him. The carriage, with
the horses attached, stood waiting for its
occupant. The dog at once came bound

back to the horse. He licked the horse
on the nose, and came back to j.
again, and again returned to the horse,
evidently laboring under the stress of
something that he wanted to say or do.
It was quite plain, in fact, that he
wanted his human friend to take notice
Of his equine friend; he was doing his
best to introduce the man to the horse,
and make them friends too, So j.,
whose big heart can include horses as

solicitations; he went up to the horse
and patted its head and rubbed its nose.
