Prithee, Don't Grow Old.

A good many people in New York think
they nave mastered the secret of eternal
youth, or at least of preserving a youthful
appearance far past the usual date of crows
feet and wrinkles. The secret is facial
massage" All the queer little burrows and
wrinkles caused by the plows, harrows,
horse rakes and other fgurative agricultural
implements Of father time, are the result of
fxity of the muscles, lack of elasticity.
over exercise of some and total disuse of
others. All this the masseur of masseuse
undertakes to cure by kneading and rubbing
and pinching the skin ana flesh of the
checks, chin, forehead and temples, by
stroking the darkened rings under the eyes
and giving the features a general overhaul
ing. And it works, too. Only if an ANA
tour undertakes the job, the victim is apt to
exclaim: Couch! You hurt!"
Why people should want to take all the
meaning and character out of their faces i'll
this fashion, and reduce themselves to the
likeness of smooth, pretty dolls, l can't un-
derstand, but they do. Even men are not
seldom guilty of the vanity.

Col. SIlcpard's English Buses.

I've often wondered why no more use is
made in this country of omnibuses with
seats on top. The Fifth avenue stage COM
pany runs eight on pleasant days, all i'm
ported from England. and I've often seen
people waiting at the street corners while
one of the old-fsshioned buses goes by in
the hope that one of the new ones will como
along next. They have the familiar little
spiral iron staircase on the back platform
by which ladies can mount to the roof easily,
and there's nothing finer than a ride on top
Oh n fresh JUNE day.
Perhaps in ten years more the guide book
makers will advise visitors to New York to
ride all over town on the tops of buses
and cars. but the buses and cars will frs,
have to be built two storied.

Mr.. Flowers Popularity.

The strength which Flower is developing in
the New York canvass is surprising to some
people. The fact that Mr.. Flower is most
popular where he is best known, up among
the farmers OF Jefferson county, is certainly
not against him. The fact is, Mr.. Flower,
though very wealthy, is a plain man per-
s%onaliv, ia easily approached and never
puts on airs. OWEN LAsapor.

A New Victory For Tammany.

New Workers are having great fun just
now at the expense of OK President Howell
of the Brooklyn bridge. That structure
has always been managed, or mismanaged
by a board of trustees, half from New York
and half from Brooklyn. A Brooklyn man
has always been president. At the last
meeting the New York men came over IN a
body. three Brooklyn trustees were absent
and New York man, Col. Wagstaf, was
chosen president. Mr.. Howell was fairly
dazed. He accepted the Office of vice-presi-
deut. but next morning refused to sur
render the presidency to Wagstaf. And
great has been the fight over it.
The president of the bridge can be very
useful to his friends. The quarrel is merely
Tammany against Mclaughlin and is only
an incident of a lon~g-standing jealousy. 1t
helps to complete the political ruin OF
Mayor Chaplin, of Brooklyn. for he was not
on hand at the mseting to vote for the
Brooklyn man. Once before Mclaughlin
had to 90 to Mayor Chapin'a office and Or
der him to go to Howell's support. This
time both were caught mapping, so sudden
ly did Mayor Grant spring this little plot
upon them.
In Brooklyn there is nc disposition to
gsieve with Mr.. Howell, as tbs mismanage-
mont of the bridge, for which he is mainly
responsible, has been SO scandalous. Little
instances illustrate this as we'll as big ones.
When the floor of the New York approach
was laid the engineer in charge permitted it
to slope toward the middle. When it rains
a big puddle collects. This has never beer
changed, but a lot of Rratings were made tc
be thrown down in wet weather. The over.
crowding of the railroad is an acknowledged
danger to life and limb at rush hours, but
for about four years absolutely nothing has
been lone to remedy it. In GUNNER most
of the trustees 20 to Europe and there ia nc
quorum. Truly, Americans are q patient
people.
Perhaps things will go better under the
Tammany rule, and perhaps they wont

rsnecial Correspondence OF THE INDEPENDENT.
NEW York, June 1S.--A few years ago, in
some mysterious way never sufficiently ex-
planned, a rude oil painting about eight
inches hy twelve in size was conveyed to
Detectiye Fuller's office. Near the middle
of the canvass a space had been left blank
and in the middle of it was written, "A. L.
Stewards body is buried here"
Inquiry developed the fact that the spot
represented in the painting was in Cypress
Hills cemetery, and men were set to work
at once digging for the dead merchants
missing body. OF course, they didn't n
it, but the hoax was a nine days wonder
and the newspapers published columns
about it.
am reminded of all this and of the pleas
ant days I then spent lying on my back on the
grassy bank in the cemetery watching the
men dig and idly waiting for something to
turn up worth writing about, by recent
events showing now the curse has followed
that mans millions. Judge Hilton, h
has somehow gained possession of the most
of them, has recently given $500,0OO to q
Garden City Cathedral to quiet his conscl-
ence, some say, and is beginning suit
against some Of the other heirs in one of
those interminable actions which will never
end till the day of Judgment.
Even in his life the merchant prince was
scarcely q happy man. One of my most
vivid ! recollections is the story told
by q friend in the wholesale bust
ness who had occasion one day to
call upon Mr.. Stewart in his private
Office. My friend was young and in-
questionable. "Ah how happy that man
must be!n he thought as he saw the splen-
dor of the establishment and noted with
what awe the employees spoke their masters
name. "What would not / do to be as rich
as he isl"
After some little DELAY he wat ushered
into a room with . big desk piled with pa
pers and sitting behind it a withered, pale
and tremulous man, prematurely old,
crushed by the weight of affairs. He was
scoldlng one of his clerks in q querulous
tone about some trifing matter, which
seemed anything but trifing to the clerk
at the moment. BY and by his breakfast
was brought in on a tray-it was about 10
o'clock-and with ravenous haste he de-
voured a few morsels.
Almost Immediately he was taken with g
violent fit of retchine and-well. have you
ever been seasick? Then, no matter.
"Take it away! Take it away!' whis-
pered Mr.. Stewart weakly, when the par
oxysm was over, waving back the tray with
his Thin hand.
MY Godl' said my friend afterward in
telling me Of the incident, II wouldn't
change places with that man for twice his
wealth"

Exquisite rfemish Embroidery in the
Fourteenth and Fifteenth
Centuries.

1t was during this period that ems
broidery lost its distinctly religious
character and came into common use in
lay dress. And if we wish to see to
what a pass the sumptuous dress of
Flanders came, we have but to consult
the pictures of the time. On Van
Eyck's and Memling's marvellous can
vases the lay life of Bruges is brought
before us as a setting to the most sacred
subjects-brought before US, too, with
such naif and serious realism that it
never jars upon our taste. Melchior
and Gaspard, as they kneel before the
Holy Child, Herod and his courtiers as
they sit at the table or look on the
headless corpse of st. John the Baptist,
in Memling's pictures at the Hospital
st. John, are but portraits of princes
and courtiers at the Prinsenhof hard
by. The gorgeous fabrics of their
dresset, stiff with gold, are fresh from
the looms of Bruges, which were then
famous throughout all northern Europe.
While the magnificent robe, with its
hem embroidered in gold, pearls and
Jewels, which is worn by the Virgin in
Van Eyck's great picture at Client of
the Alteration of the Sacred Lamb, is
almost duplicate of the state mantle
in which Mary of Burgundy lies wrap
ped In her brass efligy on the altar
tomb at Notre Dame in Bruges.

According to the way in which this
arrangement is now carried out, the
irst land that the new day dawns upon
Easter Island, about go miles west
If the coast of Chill, South America
That is to say the 2d of July breaks
lere within few hours of the 1st hav-
ng broken on the American coast to
he east, and the two days run on
llongside-the I'd in Easter Island and
places west, the 1st in all places on the
American continent. We may, there
ore realize this idea-that at 7.2O
o'clock any morning of our lives in
Ireat Britain, the next day is commen-
ing on the world, and is to be found
1t this little island in the Pacific ocean,
whence in due course it will travel
'Ound to us. But to have thus the
tart of the world is not an unmitigated
advantage to these islanders. Suppose
)ne of them sails east to America, what
the result? He will find they keep
;he day there under a different date.
and he will have to reckon one day in
lis calendar twice over to put himself
right with their notions. On the other
hand, if an American crosses from east
20 west this wonderful magic line where
he day begins. he will find the dates in
this fresh part of the world are one In
advance of him, and he must needs
strike a day out of his calendar to keep
ap with the times. This fact was cur
iously illustrated in the case of Magel-
IAN, the Portuguese captain, who sailed
round the world from east to west in
1922, and having crossed the magic line
Of days BIRTH in his wandering, his
calendar became of course a day in
arrear The sailors were completely
ignorant of this, and finding, on land
ing at home, that their Sabbath was
falling on Monday, they accused one
another of tampering with the reckon
ing. 1t was not for some time that the
true EXPLANATION was discovered.

Burial I'm Anam.

When any one of their number dies,
friends and neighbors hasten to the
mountains, hew down a tree, hollow it
out, and, after having washed and
dressed the body, put sugar cane into
its mouth and invoked the shades of the
dead, place it in this rude coffin, open
the eyes so as to look heavenward, and
then carefully seal it up. On the day
of the burial sacrifices are INDUCED IN,
according to the means of the relatives
of the deceased. The grave is usually
made in a forest, and the hewing of
trees therein is superstitiously avoided.
A soothsayer, or priest, plants two reeds
at the border of stream in such a
manner that the parents of the dead
can pass underneath; while doing this
he sprinkles water upon them which
had been used to clean rice. After
washing their clothes and cutting their
hair, they enter the house, and. in
order to show the depth of their sorrow,
throw everything about the house irto
confusion. The priest arriving, he
reproaches them, restores order, and
sprinkles kind of holy water in order

THE VOYAGE TO SUNDERLAND

She sails away on the sea Of dreams,
This little skipper with eyes of brown
A. the frehy's torch in the twilight CLEANS,
And the garish sun goes down;
Her bark floats over the grimy town
To Sunderland and it, silver sea:
The spotless folds of her slumber gown
Are no whit fairer than she.
There are angel birds in the warm, still sir.
Aud the skipper laughs with her eyes OF
brown,
a. they sing 70 her old songs, sweet and rare
While ber bark pillows up and down;
They sing Of prince of high renown,
And princess ever 80 Young and fair:
But where l. the princess had ever II crown
Like the crown Of her soft brown hairS
COmeth a storm over the silver sea,
That eLJs on the dreamer's land,
And the angel birds fade out to the lee
or this singular slumber strand:
Is there barbor by angels planned,
From all storms, whatever they be,
From the wicked fairies of Sunderland
And the waves in its silver sea?
Up, Ike a fash, comes the little brown head
And the brown eyes only see
A bilowy blanket of silk outspread
On an ocean of dimity:
But its fearlessly the skipper will fee,
With a soft little barefoot tread,
By the chart she learned on her bended knee
To the haven Of mothers bed.

AttOrney-General Miller.

it is somewhat singular fact that
no picture of Mr.. Miller yet given TO
the public bears the slightest resem-
blance to that gentleman. His face is
hard one 20 reproduce, as it is devoid
of any marked feature. The pictures
generally show him 10 be dark-haired
man, while the truth is that the rather
small amount of hair growing upon
his legal head is just little darker
than straw color. IL is worn twisted
across the somewhat deficient forehead
in manner intended to conceal the
fact that the back and crown of the
head are nearly bald. Mr.. Miller
wears whiskers all over his face. and
they are of the same thin, colorless
style as his hair, and worn pretty
closely cropped. The eyes are blue,
somewhat faded, and the face has a
habitual flush of color, which is the
most healthy and attractive feature o.
the Attorney Generals makeup.
He is not large man, little taller
than his Presidential law partner, but
not so squarely-shouldered and solidly
built. He looks a good deal like he
has for many yesrs-a hard d-working,
methodical, small-town lawyer. He
wears country-cut clothes and ha. the
peculiarly careless manner CT wearing
them that distinguishes man from
