of the Conestoga wagons, SO common
years ago on our national pike, used to
buy very cheap cigars 70 meet this

Washington, Pa.. whose name is lost to
fame. started in tc make 4 cheap roll
up for them at four for cent. These
became very popular with the drivers
and were at first called Conestoga cigars,
since, by usage, corrupted into -stogies"

heirs began a search for it IN the furni-

A short time ago Hrs William S.
Eagan, Of East Sixty-fourth street, peti-
toned Judge Beach in the court Of com
mon pleas to have 81. 900 Of her 1atc hns-
bands estate set aside for tho education
and maintenance of her little daughter
Josephine Eagan, aged z, Of whom she Il
guardian. A cry of horror and astonisl-
ment WAS raised among the relatives and
lawyers at the GtHpsndous demand, bat
Mrs. Eagan knew what she was about
and presented an itemized account of
probable expenditures. Here it is:
Ice per month, 800. household cz-
penses, 81, ,920: toys, books and dolls. $50;
governess. $3.50; nurse, $3.50: music les
sons, vocal, $50; clothing. shoes, hats,
etc, 500; laundry, $50; medical treat
ment for nervous disorders, 800
This bill is interesting in showing the
disparity between the professions of
nurse and governess. The $500 item for
clothing may seem extravagaut, but rs

reason why Miss Josephine should not

In London they are bringing up the
question again as to whether literary
women are always ugly. Now, they are
not, by long manner Of means. You
see, too often fame comes TO them when
age is beginning to appear. New York
can boast Of some extremely pretty wo-
men who earn their living BY their pens.
Ethel Richmond, who is iUst now
abroad, looks like a dainty little lady
who has just stepped off an Easter card.
Mrs. Percy, tall, slender and dark. with
magnificent eyes, looks like Spanish
woman. Lille Hamilton French IL an-
other dark beauty. Frances Williams
has great, soft eyes, beautiful brown
hair and skin that any society girl
might be envious Of. There is Agnes
Russell, dark and with chic air that u
essentially French. Why, one could
keep on for half an hour telling Of the
women who are pretty, ana are at
tractive, and are well dressed, while the
dowdies could be counted off on your
fingers. and are really the exceptions
that prove the rule-New York sun.

a SOUTHERN SONG.

Love kissed my eyes, until they grew
To sun and moon serenely blind,
Nor saw the shining stars, nor knew
The delicate presence Of the wind
Singing the roses heart away,
Through many a golden summer day
Love kissed my eyes, and then tie flew
Across the world, nor looked behind:
The terrible mistrel rose and blew.
Far Off the hills frowned, snow enshFined-
And wan and comfortless as they,
The sea crept near. atllirst to slay
Alb, happy eyes that never dre@
Loves wanton kiss, ye shall not find
Life's prison house too strait f1r YOU.
Nor death "A terror half OWNED.
Sweeter than birds mid scented may
The songs yc sing, the prayers yc pray.

Guides at vesuvius.

A correspondent writes from Vale di
Pompei: "The death Of the Brazilian
journalist in Mount Vesuvius has rather
damaged the reputation of the guides,
but it is unjust to blame all the guides
and their agencies. 1t is true that some
of them are unfit TO accompany stran-
gers, especially in times of eruption, and
even the permit of the police is no se-
curity that the excursion will be a safe
one. But the chief fault lies with the
travellers themselves. The guide who
accompanied the Brazilian correspond
ent has been regularly authorized to
conduct visitors for the last four years,
and was considered no inexpert guide.
s'But, as have often had occasion to
observe, foreign visitors, and especially
English young ladies, rebel against the
cautions of the guides and often run
and jump about on the very edge Of
danger. 1t is therefore difficult when
some accident happens to define the re-
sponsibility of the guides. They are GER
tainly not to blame if the people they
conduct viii not listen to them. LON

And gentle undertone.

And the stars came out in the zone;
Then my bride. la ladyiike calmness,
And with all her accustomed grace.
Leaned back in gentle slumber.
With smile on her well bred face
As the train rushed on in the darkness.
Like flashing meteor sent,
I took no heed OF the present,
But backward my memory went
And thought with a feeling OF anguish.
And a tllrob of sudden pain,
OF the lap of the murnuring waters,
And the sandy Hampshire lane.
Isaw .srhe Shoals In the distance,
And the blue waves fall and rise,
And passionate face on my shoulder.
With love in her STAR eyes;
No calm and well bred selling,
No decorous modern art,
But fond and foolish passion.
A faithful woman heart.
But the strength OF her love consumed her
And .zae sleeps In her early grave
In the scented Hampshire valley.
Near the sound of the sobbing wave.
But here by my side see her.
Pale with passionate pain.
Too true, too deep for earth's trials,
Oh, love of the woodland lanel
shook OF the strange. odd feeling,
And saw the sweet vision fade,
And my brido awoke from her dreaming.

Where was II Oh, on the jou Rsy

And the other was only phantom.
