THE UNLOADEO REVOLVER AGAIN.
Young Clerk in LaFountaiu's North

Friday afternoon Eugene Robergc, a
IS years old boy in LaFouutain's drug store
at the corner of Champlan and North
streets while in the prescription room,
picked up Eugene LaFoun.ain's - caiiLrp
revolver from drawer, and rs it was to
all appearances empty, cooked it and pulled
il OF, with no result. He did it
again and, enjoying the sport, kept on.
The fourth time he payfuly raised it and,
pointing it downward at the centre of his
forehead, pressed the trigger, and fell. The
chamber contained % short cartridge, the
hall OF which passed downward through the
front part Of the skull obiqueiy backward
and to the left, passing through a small
corner of the brain. He was carried
to his home No. 12i North Cham

Crandall and Bingham were sent for, also
Rev. Father Continual. An examination
failed to locate the ball, as the physicians
could not probe very extensively for fear Of
producing inflammation of tho brain.

BOUQUET MAKING.

Tie most graceful bouquets have the
least method in their arrangement; q few
sprays of bloom put in carelessly often are
the most artistic in effect. A bunch Of
misty gypsophilla with a half dozen or
more c~oreopsis blossoms placed in a dark
brown vase and set before a mirror was a
combination which demonstrated this.
Few large flowers are capable of more ar
raugement than the raouy. The Old
time rich, red variety forms a gorgeous
bunch by itself, or is equally beautiful
lightened with sprays Of white: while care
lessly place in a gilded basket, with lis own
bronzy green foliage, 1t is most effective.
The lovely and fragrant Chinese varieties,
with their delicate shadiEgs and exquisite
tints, when massed on a platter and bor-
dered with ferns, are almost as handsome
as roses, and make a pretty and lasting
table decoration. There is an early single
peouy, between magenta and rose in eoier
and with a deep golden beart-it is cotela-
porary with the first sturdy growths of the
ribbon grass, and combines with it admir-
ably, although by tradition lemon lilies and
ribbon grass are afinities. An old ginger
jar of just the right shade of blue, filled
with a large bunch of these richly edorous
lilies, their exquisite yellow relieved by the
creamy white and delicate green Of the
grass, may quite content the artistic coun-

THE RIVER.


Gliding SO steadily downward
The river run to the sea;
Between its banks of meadows green,
By city, plain and lea.
\ path of gold in moonlight bright,
OF silver in the sun;
The happy restless river glides
On its race that's never run.
A river lies beyond our sight.
But we reach it one by one.
Well see its cleaning waters flash
Sometime, when life is done.
And wide and swollen it may be,
Its waters foam and toss;
Or It may be SO narrow that
We can almost step across.
Sometimes we catch beyond the stream
The CLINT of its sands of gold,
And echoes from that summer land
Come over the waters cold.
We feel the breeze from angels wings
Filling our souls with cheer;
And the river at the end oflffe
Is robbed of its dread and fear.

..Homelessu Novelist.

Mr.. David Christie Murray has been
recounting to the good people of South
Australia how he become a novelist.
On his first arrival in London he found,
like SO many others, the difficulty OF
getting employment on the press. Be-
fore the turn of the tide came, he says,
he had four days wandering in the
streets, and at nights sat on the benches
of the Thames embanklaent in most
curious company. He was at last helped
by the late John Lowell, of the Press
association, afterward of the Liverpool
Murcury, who invented" some work
for him, and sent him two guineas IN a
Dill box, labeled 'sTo be taken imne-
diately.H-London Tit-Bits.

INTERESTING BIOGRAPHIES
Two Young Women Agree to Write Zach
Others History.

It's Il novel idea. that of two Young
women living far south of Buffalo.
They We're little girls together and
have continued as chums up to the
present tiInc. They are now well along
IN their teens. One day when they
were playing with dolls q novel idea
was proposed It was that at the end
Of each year each would write a history
of the others life during the twelve
months just passed. Details about the
Joys, sorrows and incidents of daily life
were to be chronicled and each was
given permission to point out the faults
and failings of the other.
The scheme, says the Toledo Blade,
has worked to a charm as far as can be
learned-fcr the biographies are kept
secret-and young women have seen
themselves aS others sec them. One of
them told a friend short time ago that
she had found two faults with her friend
last year and an equal number had been
found with her. She said that the word
love had never been written by either
in her chronicle. This year however,
will likely contain something referring
to the divine passion. It is said too
that the kodak has been brought into
requisition this year for the purpose of
illustration, when the party illustrated
least expected it.

PARIS ILLUMINATED.
at Present the Best Lighted City In tn
World.

Paris is now on the eve Of a revolu
ton in her lighting system. Gas light
ing was first introduced in Eng. And, Gu
Paris followed in good time, and with
a Splendor unequaied elsew here. II
like manner, writes DR.. Albert Shaw,
in Century, America, Germany anc
some other countries have been earlier
in the use of electric lighting: but the
ParisiaES with their superior taste anC
skill IN all matters of s3nunicipal ar
engagements and appointments. are des-
tined to make by far the most brilliant
use of the new illuminant. Within one
year, or within two years at the far
thest, it is confidently claimed that
Paris will be incomparably the best
lighted city in the world and that cleo
trlclty Will have superseded gas in pub
lie use. In 1878, at the time of the uni
versal exposition, the municipal govern
ment ordered the experimental illu-
nination of the avenue de L Opera and
several open spaces with electricity; but
the new system was not ripe for large
use, and the experiment was soon aban-
doncd. It's principal effect was the
timulus it gave to the gas company,
which invented and put into use certain
'arge compound burners using LOO
liters per hour, and giving most bril-
liant light. The great electrical improve
ments of the past decade were exhibit
ed in the French exposition of 1899, al d
were studied with the utmost care by
the Partisan author tiles and municipal
engineers. Undoubtedly the displays
at the exposition had the most pro-
nounccd effect in stimulating the new
zeal Paris is showing for the appli-
