Lillian Russell,s Daurhter.

Little Lillian Russell, aged 6, is a
miniature copy of her beautiful mother.
She has the same hair and eyes, but her
complexion is tanned by the jolly out
door life she has led. She was never
separated from her mother until the last
two years, and as natural consequence
of her trips on ''the road" she has strong
theatrical preferences.
She is now at the Sacred Heart acade-
my, where her mother visits her every
week, and takes her home occasionally
for few days. She considers life a
dreary waste unless she attends a matt
nee frequently, and her interest in the
play and criticism of the characters are
extremely refreshing. She is warm
admirer of Little Lord Fauntleroy. New

Doesn't Give Leases Now.

''The giving of leases to all sorts of
tenants Is not so prevalent as it used to
be" real estate agent said. ''Experi-
ence has shown that a tenant whose
financial responsibility is limited to a
moderate income cannot be held to the
provisions of a lease, and that most ten
ants take advantage of this fact. The
law of this state favors the married
debtor who has no property but his
household effects and is dependent on an
income for his living. In fact, the own
ers of houses and flats rarely sue tenants
who break their leases nowadays, and
rarely recover anything when they do.
81 sued a man recently who had occu-
pied one of my flats and had given it up
year before the lease expired. He did
not even defend the suit. When I had
him summoned in supplementary pro-
ceedmgs he testified that his income no
more than paid his living expenses, and
that his household effects belonged to
his wife. He was released, and now l
can whistle to recover my Judgment
AS a rule tenants want leases, but we
don't give them if we can avoid doing
SO with ordinary apartments. We have
come to the conclusion that only the
owners are bound by the provisions of
the leases, while the tenants do as they
please about Observing them" New

Eneland's Taste in Smoking.

The English cigars are made of Amer
ican tobacco, but fail in manipulation
according to our standard They look
bright and wooden" rather than like a
natural leaf product. When cigars were
introduced into England they all came

which tasted very bitter when smoked,
utterly destroying their value. 1t was
then discovered that by subjecting the
cigars to the dry heat of kiln the life
of the fungus was destroyed and the
cigar became s1nokable.
1t Is owing to this fact that the En-
ghsh insist on dry" cigars to the pres

crackle before they buy them. The cigar

A MAGNETIC Separator.

Among the numerous magnetic sepa-
rators one of the most remarkable is
that for the extraction of iron from the
sea sand. It is stated that ordinary sea
sand contains from to 7per cent of iron,
enough to give large excess over cost of
extraction. The machine consists of a
cylinder, whose surface is composed OF
electro-magnets, revolving on the inside
of an endless canvas belt. The sand is
fed to the belt, and a spray of water sepa-
rates the particles, the iron being re-
tanned by the powerful electro magnets
and carried off on the belt to a recepta-
Gle at the other end, while the sand falls
into the trough below.-Exchange

George william Curtis, wife.

/. l yery often see matronly looking
woman with a bright, intellectual face
on Broadway, in the vicinity of Wash
ington square. Her manner is simple
and dignifed, and altogether she is
handsome and agreeable. She is rather
old fashioned in her ideas of dress. Her
gowns have all the quaintness of twenty
five or thirty years ago, and this rather
pleasing effect is heightened by the man
ner in which she wears her hair, pressed
fiat on top and folded neatly down the
sides of her head. Who is she? The
wife of George William Curtis. She
was Miss Shaw before her marriage to
the brilliant Htterateur
Mrs. Curtis leads remarkably simple
life at her pleasant home on Staten Island.
The house is a neat frame cottage. It is
surrounded by spacious grounds, in which
are many fine old trees. A winding drive
leads up from the gate to the house. The
appointments of the interior betray at
once the literary man and cultured
scholar. The house is furnished in ex-
treme good taste, and an air of refine
ment and culture is prevalent everywhere
within. Mrs. Curtis is not known in the
literary world except as the wife of Mr..
Curtis. She very rarely goes into society,
although she has friends by the score.
Mrs. Curtis pleasant and genial appear
ance does not indicate that she has found
the companionship of literary man irk.

The Decoration of Prayer Books


The prayer book that the Vanderbilts,
the Astors and other families use for ev-
cry day, that is to say every Sunday oc-
casion, costs about $50 each. Mrs. An
son Phelps Stokes has just ordered two
$50 silver bound prayer books, and these
will be given to her two daughters on
the occasion of her silver wedding.
Prayer books are used now a great deal
for presents in society, and particularly
for wedding presents. The really cor
rect thing, it may be mentioned, is a
small prayer book bound in white moroc-
co, with elaborate silver trimmings.
The resulting ornamentation is very rich
and very handsome. The designs are
either flowers or alegorical figures that
have quaint and medieval character.
The work is open work that shows the
cover of the book, and this supplies a
very effective groundwork
s In some cases, however, the book Is
completely cased in silver and the silver
is very artistfcally worked. There is
still slight demand for ivory covers,
but the demand is so slight it is scarcely
worth mentioning. The covers of the
prayer book are embellished with silver
cross If the morocco is retained on one
side and the brides initials on the other.
Tbs books themselves are generally of
English make and what is known as the
Oxford edition. The type is beautiful
and the binding is in the highest style
known to the art. }t aftt5t
In the original covering the Bible or
prayer book is about the cheapest book
OF its quality that can be found. After
its manipulation by fashionable jew
eler it is about the dearest. A pretty
book mark usually accompanies the
prayer book composed of three white
ribbons. They are marked with a heart,
cross and an anchor, signifying, of
course, faith, hope and charity.-New

Several weeks ago two plainly dressed
middle aged women appeared on the
streets here as mendicants Both had
accordions, from which they pumped
the most doleful specimens of harmony,
imaginable, and to the accompaniment
they sang in high, cracked voices. With
characteristic American careless gen
erosity, the crowds contributed nicke1s
and pennies by scores and the women
reaped a liberal harvest.
Among the hundreds who saw the
women here was lady who recognized
them. 81 have seen them in New York,
In Portland, Ore, and in Salt Lake
City" she said. "They go to Salt Lake
City every year to look after valuable
property they have there. The truth is,
l am told, they are wealthy. They
saved several thousand dollars from
their street earnings and invested the
sum in real estate in Salt Lake City.
Then the boom came on there and in
few months the women were rich. Now
they have valuable investments in vari-
GUS cities, and their business judgement
seems excellent. The great bulk of
their wealth is in Utah, however, and
their property there is growing more
valuable every day.
'The women like their old profession
of harping to the public, and stick to it
as industrieusly as ever. &, They make a
surprisingly large income from it and
save great deal every YEAR, which goes
to swell their investments. The posi-
biity of these women following men
delaney as profession, and prospering
at it, is striking comment on the un-
thinking, unquestioning generosity of
the American people" = Indianapolis

A. YOUNG NUN.

Within the convent grim and gra,
AMI ivy grown,
She liveth on from dav to dag
LIES monotone.
She leaveth oft the ancient pile
And passeth by.
Yet have never seen her smile.
Nor caught her eye.
Her hands are very white and small,
And those who know
Say that on Fever's brow they fall
Like flakes of snow.
They say her voice is soft and sweet
In Sorrows ear,
Wooing the soul to Mary's feet
From doubt and fear.
All. me! And yet her youthful face
Clad though it be
In cold religions sanity grace
Is fair to see.
Her eyes, so modestly cast down,
So introspect,
Could light a smile or arm frown
With dire effect
-Tis just such orbs that steadiest burn
With passions fire;
Can all the tears in Virtues urn
Quito quench desire?
Her mouth is red, and shaped for bliss;
1t seems loss
That it should only, kiss and kiss
Her rosary cross.
oh, Little Nunl Thou art too fairl
1t had suff1ced -
II one less consciously rare
Had wed thy Christ.
The devil oft in form of saint
Entraps the eyes;
Thou art soul without attaint

our Resources and Prospects.

The stock of the Charlestown Min
ing, Manufacturing and Improvement
Company is being rapidly subscribed
for. On Saturday last the secretary
received number of subscriptions
from Ohio.
On Thursday a delegation from
Lancaster, Pa, consisting of Messrs.
Jno. f. Brimmer, S. Clay Miller, G.
D. Bender and j. Gust. Zook, came
to Charlestown to personally inspect
the resources of this section, and after
a thorough examination Of the town
and vicinity and the extensive iron
ore fields of the company, were more
than pleased, and one of these gentle
men who had invested in the stock of
this company said that he had made
extensive investments as far west as
Nebraska, and in the Northwest and
in the South, that he had personally
inspected all of the places before in
vesting, and that he thought that the
natural advantages and resources of
this section were far superior to them
all. A large number of gentlemen
from Lancaster have signifed their
intention of coming over and invest
ing in the Immediate future.
On Friday Messrs. VIM. N. Wood,
j. D. Gibbs and Chas. NJ. Loefler,
enterprising citizens and business
men of Washington City, came also
to examine plan, options and the re-
sources of the company. After day
busilY spent in thorough inspection of
detail they, like the gentlemen from
Lancaster, were favorabIy impressed
and returned to Washington with
expressed intention to advise their
friends to subscribe with them in the
stock of the company.
Captain Howard, an experienced
miner, with a force of hands is ac-
lively engaged in opening the mex
haustibIe beds of finest iron ore on
the lands of the company.
Several iron furnaces have arranged
to send their men here with view OF
making preliminary arrangements to
remove to this section. The iron
fields, lying some of them within a
few hundred yards of the railroad,
containing inexhaustible beds of fin
est ore, are attracting widespread at
tention. The railroads are consider
ing the question of building switches
to them, and in the near future, we
are informed, all arrangements for
shipments of ore and for building of
washers and furnaces and other in
dustries will have been completed.
Now that the summer is over and
the business men of the cities are re-
turning and resuming business habits,
the officers of this company say that
the stock has ready sale and is be-
ing placed in sections of the country
where enterprises that are wanted
here are located.
