Immediately upon her death Marie's
house was draped inside and out, liter
ally from top to bottom, in white velvet,
and white flowers were scattered in
great profusion.
Marie's body was entirely covered be-
meath a mound of flowers. Of all her
friends not one was allowed to see her
face after she died. She had changed
terribly in the last few hours of her life,
and her mother and aunt respected to
the letter her dying request that nobody
should be allowed to see her.
The funeral was a great event in Paris.
Every n of the long line of carriages
was draped in white cloth. Music was
heard coming from the house, and many
of those in the neighborhood gathered
round thinking that it must % a we'd
ding. The white hearse vas s.awn by
six white horses, with white satin trap
pings and white harness mounted in sill
yer. Nine. B~ashkirtseff, Marie's mother,
walked through muddy streets six miles
to the cemetery, holding in her hands
one of the four long white ribbons at
tached to the n of the hearse.
Wondering Frenchwomen declared that
it too a Russian mother to do such a
thing as that. Aunt Romanoff wanted
to walk with the hearse also, but her
great size made that impossibls.-New

LITTLE Rock, Ark, Sept. The
Gazette says: The state and county cleo
tons today passed off quietly SO far as
known. Nothing more than a few dis
turbances Of an ordinary character have
occurred, and these did not effect the re-
suit. Partial returns and estimates re-
ceived by the Gazette from thirty of the
s~eventy-6ve counties in the state indicate
a largely increased majority for Governor
Eagle and the Democratic state ticket
over two years ago. The Democratic ma
~jorities on county officers and Legislators
have been correspondinRly increased. The
Democrats claim the state by from 25, 900
to 80. 900 majority. In the third ward
and several townships in this (Pulaski))
county, double polling places were estab-
lished, owing to the charge that the
county Judge violated the law in appoint
ing judges Of election.

The following anecdote quoted by
Emanuel, a writer on gem lore, from
an old treatise ON precious stones, illus
trates the peculiar value which this
class of gems derived from superstition.
"one Of my relatives, p" runs the story,
possessed "A turquoise set in a gold
ring which lie used t. wear on his fin
ger rs a superior ornament. 1t hap
pened that the owner of the ring was
seized with a malady of which he died.
During the whole period in which the
wearer enjoyed his full health the tur-
quoise was distinguished for unparal-
leled beauty and c~learness; but scarcel,
was he dead when the stone lost its lus-
ter and assumed a faded, withered ap-
pearance, as If mourning for its mas
ter. This sudden change in the nature
of the stone made me lose the desire l
originally entertained of purchasing it,
which l might have done at a trihing
sum, and so the turquoise passed into
other hands. However, no sooner did
it obtain a new owner when it regained
its former exquisite freshness and lost
all traces of its temporary defects. l
felt greatly vexed that l had lost tue
chance Of procuring such a valuable
and sensitive gem"
This is not an infrequent occurrence,
| think. One of my own little daugh-
ters-a child, at the time, of 9-was
quite ill with a bilious fever. She wore
a turquoise ring which had been pre-
sented her at Christmas, and of which
she was very fond. One day she called
to me in great distress, "Oh, mamma,
my pretty ring is spoiled" L went to
look at 1t, and saw that it had indeed
lost its luster and its beautiful blue
and was dull and queerish in tint. l
then told her the story of the tur-
quoise, and asked her to notice as she
grew better If the color and liveliness
came back to the stone. She did SO,
and it was with great joy that on her
recovery the turquoise In her ring was
as blue and pure as ever. Whatever
her elders may say to her the child
firmly believes that her ring will tell
her when she is in.-Sally Joy White
in Ladies' Home Journal.

A Ragusan, returning home from the
United States after twenty years alb
sence, was accosted on landing by a
beggar woman, who asked him for
aims. They recognized each other sim
ultaneously. She was his wifel A re-
markable tale of v~illainy was at once
unfolded. The husband had prospered
in America, and from the first had sent
home fifty fiorins a month for the use
of his wife. As his position improved
he increased the amount until it
reached 200 forins monthly. But the
priest had never given the poor woman
more than five forms, and after fifteen
years of constant embezzlement he had
forged certificates of the deaths of both
husband and wife, sending that of the
latter to the former and vice versa, and
then retiring from the scene. The
husband married a rich American lady,
with whom he returned to Europe.
The wife became dependent on char
ity. Hence the romantic meeting

One of the most delightful routes be-
tween Chicago and the East is over the
Baltimore & Ohio railroad to New York
by way of Washington. The trip possesses
many peculiar charms, especially to one
whose i~ourneylngs have taken him to the
borders of the sunny Southland. Tho
ride through the MononRahela valley,
across the mountains of West Virginia,
and then along the gently flowing Poto-
mac, awekens a keen interest in the low
er Of natural scenery. Much of the ground
traversed has unique historical associa-
Citations. A large part of this region was
debatable land at the time of the civil
war. Across these fields and down along
these dusty roads once marched now the
! u and now the gray. These valleys
once rang with cheers, now for the stars
and stripes, a nd now for the stars and
bars. These mountainous heights more
than once echoed the sounds of deadly
conflict. Here General Lees army crossed
the Potomac on that carefully planned In
vasion OF Maryland and Pennsylvania,
which ended so Jisastrously at Gettys-
burg. Here Stonewall jackson directed
his forces on that grand hunting exr
%cursion, - by which he corraled the fed
eral forces in Harper's Ferry and com
PEELED them to surrender. And here at
Harper's Ferry is still seen the old brick
fort where John Brown took his stand in
defiance of the slave-holding power. To
one who remembers when these names
were first written in blood, what an ex-
cit ment of f, lupg the mention of them
arouses; Ami Jam. Sharpsburg, South
Mountain, Shenandoah, Harper's Ferry,
Balls Bluff, 1t is no ordinary experience
to pass through a region frauEht with
such tragic memories.
The train hurries on; and soon there is
seen dimly in the distance a white marble
shaft, and then a great white dome, and
then other plnnacles inc spires, and
Washington is reached.
Even the most cursory glance at the
city is sure to be profoundly impressive.
A half hour drive through the streets
will reveal more clearly than any detailed
description possibly can, those features
which have given the city its reputation
and made it, in one sense, the Mecca of
all patriotic citizens OF this country. The
capitol building. that embodiment of
national majesty. the Washington monu-
ment, with its lofty reach heavenward,
the white house, with its deeply interest
ing associations, the several department
DuhulussElu Suelr mdSSlNe statellneSs, the
Smithsonian Institute, the Soldiers
Home, the broad avenues and beautiful
parks,-it does not take long to view
these, outwardly at least; and the viewing
ofthem for the first time, by one who re-
calls what these public buildings stand for
and the scenes which they nave witnessed,
is attended with emotions not easily de-
scribed.
New York is about six hours ride from
Washington, and the road runs through
n very interesting stretch of country,
touching at Baltimore, Wilmington and
Philadelphia. This is one of the finest
sections of railroad in the world, the speed
of the trains often reaching over sixty
miles an hour. -Borthtoestern Con0rega-

Three different piles of ruins In Bah
ylonia claim the distinction Of being
remnants of the original tower, the
building of which caused the confusion
of tongues. A full account of this re-
markable semi-historical event may be
found in the eleventh chapter of Gen
sis. The first of the three ruins above
mentioned is the celebrated Nimrud's
tower, near Akkurkef; the second on
the east bank of the Euphrates river,
five miles above the modern city of
Hillah; third, the conical mound known
as Birs Nimrud, six miles and a half
southwest of the city last named above
all in B~abylonia. Biblical scholars
throw the weight of their opinions in
favor of Birs Nimrud as being the site
of the proposed heaven penetrating
shaft.
The ruins at this point, which con
sist mainly of kiln bricks, huge stones
and vitrified mortar, almost hidden
from sight by sands, the Accommodations
of centuries, are 1913 feet in height and
nearly 800 yards in circumference Sir
r. X. Porter, who has given much
study to the Birs Nimrud ruins, believes
its vitrified appearance to be the results
of numerous lightning strokes, conclu-
sions which, taken in connection with
the tradition that the tower was de-
stroyed by fire from heaven, forms an
interesting subject for thought. Por-
ter also says that, with the exception of
natural accumulation and decay, the
tower is, in his estimation, almost in
the exact condition as left at the time
of the confusion.-St Louis Republic.

Merely a low price is not an evidence of
cheapness in merchandise, and quotations
of clothing prices are of all things most
deceptive. We do not keep what is called
Cheap" clothing. We always have some
garments for men and boys at low prices;
but we get them by marking down the
broken lots and slow selling lots of good
quality. These bargain garments adver-
tise themselves. If you want a serviceable
O~vercoat, Suit or odd Coat, Vest or pair
of Trousers for very little money, we can
usually supply much better value than
the price asked would buy in the regular
way. Most people. however, want the
best clothes they can afford to wear, and
our nghtly-made garments are intended
to supplant the custom work. Therefore
you cannot Judge OF the prices without
seeing the clothes.
