that story with the Edward Bellamy

Tudor Jenks-a quizzical look into the
future for boys. A beautiful romance
is contributed by Annie Bronson King,

L. Heaton of the Brooklyn Times

Howard, has its serious lesson for eld-
est daughters. All the girls might take
some tender teaching from sweet,
bright, true Polly Pepper in Margaret
Sidney's ''Five Little Peppers Grown
Up" serial, which has never been, more
interesting than in the present n amber.
Quite different little girl from Phron-
sic Pepper, but charmingly quaint
child, makes her curtesy to Wide
Awake's readers in the new serial,
ssMiss Matilda Archambeau Van Dorm
in the third serial, ''Marietta's Good
Times" we get delightful glimps<,s OF
the free open air life of italian children.
This serial is from the pen of an Italian
woman recalling her childhood. Good
things are as thick as roses in June

Recently bedstead made of gold and
silver, inlaid with precious stones, has
been discovered in cave between Bey-
rout and Damascus, bearing an inscrip-
tion declaring that it once belonged to

In point of costliness this can not
compare with the historical cradle or

of Rome, upon which all the resources
of French art were employed. the de-

In the Paris exhibition gorgeous
bedstead was to be seen which had been
constructed at cost of $1,000 TO
the order of an Indian prince.
The canopy was supported by four
automatic figures, costumed in the ma

and Greese, who moved their eyes and
waved fans to cool the air. The mat

The Names OF Foreigners.

Anyone who mingles with the poor
immigrants who have come here from
Russia or Poland must be surprised at
their ignorance concerning the great
men of this country. Many of them
stay here a long time without ever
knowing the name of the president of
the United States, or hearing of James
G. Blaine, or any other famous poll
tician. They find it very hard to catch
the sound of American names, and are
apt to pronounce these names in a way
that would puzzle the owners of them
who happened to be unfamiliar with
jargon. If the names Of many of them
seem queer to Americans the names OF
many Americans seem still queerer to
them, and only fit to be laughed at

I often heard him tell with all earnest

He said that when a young man he
lived in Virginia, and as stores were
scarce it was customary for farmers to
cut scythe handles from the woods.
They would select a very crooked
sapling and trim it up to suit their pur-
pose. BY some misfortune he broke a
scvthe handle and went in search of a
new one. At last he found little,

few minutes had cut il down and

An Irish Girl In the sultan Harem

Not long after Ismai's promotion
To the throne, he was conquered by
the ample attractions OF an actress
known by the stage name of Clara
Knollys. Clara, whatever he real
name may have been, was of Irish
origin, and had a temper as well as
good looks. The offer made ON the
part OF Ismail might have dazzled a
more scrupulous woman, and she con-
sented to be added to the indefinite
list Of royal wives. At first she was
given TO understand that she would
be permitted 10 enjoy some of the
liberties accorded to her sex in West
ern countries. but one day Clara S
black attendant brought her per-
emptory order to eonfine herself To
the harem. After the command had
been translated to her, the attendant
thought for a moment that she was
going into a fit. Brushing aside the
sable shadow. she darted from the
womens apartment into the ball where
Ismail was just giving an audience,
fortunately for Clara, to the British
envoy. The Sultan was sitting cross
legged on a diyan, and the envoy near
him, both talking conidentially. Sud-
denly vision in female dress rushed
in and Ismail felt himself seized by
the beard. "I'll teach you, YOU old
reprobate, to try to make an Egyptian
mummy of an Irish girl" yelled
Clara. The attendants dashed up with
drawn swords, aud Clara would soon
have been carved but for the prompt
interposition of the British officer,
who saw that the woman was a fellow
subject of the Queen. She was per-
mitted to go unharmed, and is possi-
bly, still exhibiting her charms upon
the variety stage. She was Sultana
just three weeks.
