A Forgotten Fortune.

Matching the stories of valuable and
unappreciated oil paintings sold for a
song is one concerning miraculous
transaction in Chevres china. Early in
the past century gentleman presented
= reverend friend with two vases as a
wedding present These vases stood for
more than forty years on a cabinet In a
eSomersetshire rectory without attract
ing any particular notice, until a sale
took place after their owners death, at
which they were bought for two guineas
by tradesman in Bath. Within few
weeks they resold for 600 guineas to a

of them to the late Lord Derby for 4 600
guineas. New York Home Journal.

Remarkable Story Of o Fox.

A remarkable story of fox is told in
a French paper. Whether by the pecu-
liar odor of the sancitity of the church
or the absence of mind of the fox, one
of these usually sly animals mistook a
church for chicken house and entered
it in pursuit of prey. In the middle of
the night the watchmen were terribly
frightened at hearing most unaccount-
able noise issuing from under the princi-
pal altar. They approached with their
lanterns, aud were yet more terrified on
seeing what their imagination trans
formed into some strange beast jump on
the altar, overthrowing several of the
candlesticks, and then disappearing in
the darkness. They sought all night to
discover the whereabouts of the strange
animal, but could find no trace of it.
They were finally convinced that it was
supernatural apparation, but it was
discovered in the morning that several
fowls belonging to one of the priests
had been killed in hen roost. The fox
for it seems to have been othing more
nor less-was captured in an clubhouse.

1t Costs to Own 4 TallYllo.

Few people realize what it costs to
own and maintain coach aud four.
The coach alone costs $2500. -Four
horses suitable for the purpose could
hardly be bought for less than $1,000.
The harness is cheap at $500. The
other equipments cannot be bought for
less than $500. The two attendants
necessary with every coach and four di-
vide $500 annually. 1t costs $3.50 to
shoe the horses and $1,000 to board
them. The repairs to harness, coach and
equipments will cost no less than $3.50.
When these expenses are added to the
hundreds and hundreds of dollars that it
costs to entertain coaching parties, it
will be readily seen that no one not pos
sessing millions has much need for a
tsllyho. 1t is impossible to estimate what
these entertainments cost. Some of them
during the past season ran to as much a.

Eacts Ahnnt Iceland.

Norsk is the language of Iceland. It
Is pure old Norwegian. In Scandinavia
| Icelandic is taught in the schools as Il
classic, and every Scandinavian student
has read some of the Icelandic sagas, the
greater part of which he understands
from the similarity of his own tongue.
Iceland to-day is far behind civiliza-
ton; it is peep into the past to find
living people grinding corn with the
same kind of huge stones as in the
ancient world, weaving their own cloth
ing and linen in hand looms and churn-
ing butter in the tall, old-fashioned
churns worked by pulling rod up and
down by hand. Money is of little value,
barter remains the chief means for the
exchange of goods.
There is no telegraphic communica.
ton with the island, and during the six
months OF the year it is ice-bound the
Icelanders are entirely cut off from the
outside world. They are so left to indoor
occupations during the winters darkness
that education reaches very high stand
ard. Every one in the island can read
and write, aud many of the peasants
understand another language beside their
own, although many well.known works
have been translated into Icelandic.
From May to September there is no
night in Iceland, and the midnight sun
is visible during July and August.
Eternal daylight sounds charming, but
trying to sleep in tent in the light of
day is not SO charming in practice. The
want of night, of the moon, of stars,
makes the constant light very monoton.
Gus and trying, but nothing to what an
equal length of darkness must be to the
poor natives.
Men always kiss when they meet, but
only once saw man kiss woman.
Up country every one shakes hands or
takes off the cap to any one they may
meet on the lonely path, and wishes
them godspeed on their way. They are
polite, but they rarely smile.
Walking is impossible, the lava and
scoria are too hard for the feet and the
distances too great. The natives always
ride, and the women generally ride
stride.-Br0Oklya Citizen.

FLORAL BEDROOMs,

Floral bedrooms have been an English
craze and have recently been adopted in
this country. The Decorator and Fur
nisher gives the following suggestions in
regard to them: The best decorative
houses and wall paper stores keep paper
and cretonne en- suite, and toilet ware
can also be had to match. A yellow
poppy paper on satin ground, with a
cretonne dado to harmonize, makes a
pretty arrangement. The cretonne dado
should be run around the room in order
to make break in the wall. All the
paint should be cream. The curtains
and bedspread should be of cretonne.
The ceiling paper should be yellow and
white. All the furniture should be COW
cred with the cretonne, and pale blue
'slily" carpet makes an appropriate finish
to the decoration. Another bedroom
might have a wild-rose paper, with the
wild-rose cretonne, and a dull green
"lily" carpet. There are beautiful rose
papers with cretonne to match in yel-
lows, pinks aud reds. A yellow and
white ceiling paper goes with either of
the above schemes. Other schemes are
blue and white poppies, sweet peas and
forgetmenots, in all of which cases ere
tonnes, paper, carpet aud chinaware may
be obtained. To make the rooms com
plete, small embroidered flowers in wash
Ing silks should be in the corner of all
sheets, pillow cases, towels aud toilet
covers.-B9ston Transcript.

WORDS OF WISDOM.

Compassion will cure more sins than
condemnation.
In a world Of shams even a picturesq ue
liar mas his place.
Humility is so rare that it usually gets
called mean-spiritedness.
The necessity of circumstances proves
friends and detects enemies.
The love that gives all and asks moth
ing will never die of safety.
Nature makes no vagabonds; the
world makes us respectable.
: The recuperative force of nature works
wonders-especially upon widowers.
To be content with what we possess is
the greatest and most secure of riches.
To subdue an enemy-how paltry! To
conquer friend-how soul-satisfying!
To think for oneself is not achieved
it is gift of the gods to favorite son.
All great discoveries are made by men
whose feelings run ahead of their think
ings.
The modern lover does not implore to
be deeply loved; he begs not to be too
much bored.
Confidence is thing not to be pro-
duced by compulsion. Men cannot be
forced into trust.
The most sublime psalm that can be
heard on this earth is the lisping of
human soul from the lips of childhood.
There is in every human countenance
either history or prophecy, which
must sadden, or at least soften, every
rehecting observer.
For a woman, the temptation to sacri-
fee herself is strong. When it includes
the opportunity to sacrifice her friends
also it is irresistible.
There are many more clever women in
the world than men think for; our habit
is to despise them; we believe they do
not think because they do not contradict
us, and that they are weak because they
do not struggle to rise up against US. A
man only begins to know women as he
grows old.

Few Feet Arc Mates.

"Few peoples feet are mates," mused
the Broadway shoe dealer yesterday, as
customer departed.
Which foot is the largcst:"
"That depends"
"But how do you MANAGE"
"Oh, easy enough. The difference
isn't great enough to cause ary serious
annoyance. However, the latest thing
in the shoe line is intended for just such
cases. It is known as the reversible
shoe"
"That's odd"
"Both odd and even. This shoe, "
added the dealer, "is made with a fat
sole. You will also observe that the
shoe is not turned for the right nor the
left, as in ordinary shoes, but, being alb
solutely straight along the inner edge Of
the sole, may readily be worn on either
foot.
"Shoes of this pattern are belivcd to
! be easier on the feet than the common
article with turned solcs. So If your feet
are not mates, as is the case with most
people, you may sleep sound at night
now, for your case has been attended to
+ in a scientific manner. ."-NeD York

SOME BEMININE SECRETS.

La Barronne Staafe in her "Cabinet
de Toilette" says:
A woman badly dressed is only half a
woman. Blondes who, as rule, affect
pale blue are wrong in their nsration,
since the light shades give an ashen color
to their complexion. Dark blue and green
are, on the other hand, very becoming,
likewise certain shades OF crimson. Yel-
low, worn by candlelight, though not
during the day, is particularly softening
to bruuettes, and those of pale olive
color should be careful in their choice OF
reds. A stout woman should avoid short
basques and any eccentricities of dress
should wear few Jewels, no necklaces,
only indispensable rings, eschew any but
high coiffures, and never wear tight
gloves.
To those who wish to remain young
say, wish it, and it and you will remain
so. 1t is a case of to be or not to be. A
weary manner, sulky glance are the
forerunners of winter, smiling woman
with an expression of repose always ap-
pears younger than her age.

Frances Willard and DIR. Kelley
The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union lpdorses the Gold Cure for
Drunkenness.

The Woman's Christian Temperance
Union lpdorses the Gold Cure for
Drunkenness.
Miss Frances E. Willard, President of the
Worlds and National Woman's Christian
Temperance Union, recently drew down
torn of criticism and adverse comment
lpon herself and the organization she repre-
cents by announcing that the Kelley cure
Tor drunkenness and the opium habit was
being "boomed" by the press for political
purposes. This statement was so manlfestly
lbsurd that the leading journals OF the
sountry at once denied it in editorials, CIV
hg as proof Of its falseness number OF
cases Of habitual inebriety which have un-
ioubtedly been cured by the Kelley Bichlo-
ride Of Gold. Miss Willard, who is careful
10 correct mistake when she makes one, has
since investigated the Gold cure, and now
comes forward with letter publicly avow-
Ing her faith in the Kelley cure, and declar-
ing her sympathy with the great work being
done by il. The Eastern branch Of the
Kelley Institute at White Plains, New York,
is coming to the front with a most crafty
ing percentage Of cures Of drunkenness and
the drug habit. Men who have frequented
institutions for inebriates for years without
benefit are, almost without exception, cured
Of their disease at the White Plains keeleey
Institute, and after the three or four weeks
Of treatment return to their families with
health fully restored and ambitious to re-
deem the past. The medical profession.
which was at first antagonistic to the Gold
cure, has been convinced of its effectiveness
by the good which has been done at White
Plains and physicians throughout the East
| ern States now send their patients to the
Institute. Drunkenness is undoubtedly
disease, and in the Keeey Gold treatment
|remedy has at last been discovered. More
Iover the cure is effected without restraint or
physical pain, the treatment consisting OF a
Ihypodermic injection of the Bichloride OF
Gold, and also the remedy taken internally.
! 1t seems very simple way out of great
Ieyil. The branch at White Plains is under
the direct supervision Of the parent house.
THE treatment is identical with that admin
istered by DR.. Kelley.

Largest Locomotive in the World.

Largest L0e0mOtIVe IN tile WOTlu.
The Baldwin Locomotive Works ore
about to begin work on five engines for
the Erie Railroad that will be the largest
ever constructed in the world. They
will weigh III, 900 pounds, or eighty.
eight tons, and will be used for hauling
heavy freight over the mountains.
There has just been completed at the
works the largest compound locomotive
ever built. 1t is for the fast freight SER
vice of the New York, Lake Erie and
Western Railroad. The Baldwin Com
pauy urged the road to try one of the
compound engines, and built the engine
mentioned as sample, along with forty
four single expansion engines. The lat
ter are now being given careful test as
to their capabilities and economy of run =
ming. When the compound engine has
had week or ten days breaking in a
careful test will be made of its workings,
for comparison with those of the single
expansion type.
The ordinary engines have cylinders
twenty.one by twenty-six inches. The
compound engine in question has high
pressure cylinders fourteen by twentY-six
inches, and low pressure cylinders
twenty-four by twenty-six inches. The
big compound engine is in other respects
similar to ordinary engines. 1t has three
pairs of driving wheels, slxty-two inches
in diameter. The weight of the engine
Ill working order is 135 900 pounds, ex-
elusive of the tender. The weight on the
driving wheels, which is the measure of the
power of the engine, is 107, 900 pounds.
The boilers are of the Wooten type,
and the fire boxes are ia inches long by
ninety six inches wide. The engine is
ffty.six feet long and sixteen feet high.
It is expected that this engine can be
run at saving of from thirty five to
forty per cent. over the same size single
expansion engine. The Baldwin Com
pany is now building ten engines of
similar type for the Reading Railroad,
five for the Pennsylvania and two for the
Lehigh Valley.-Pliladelphia Record.
