A good at-and-seversl-kittens story
comes from the Wheeling postoflice.
1t seems that when the stamp clerk
opened tho safe in his department
about O'Clock Monday morning, cat
that has lived around the building for
a long time stepped out and began to
stretch herself. She had been in the
safe since Sunday morning at 10
O'Clock, about 81 hours, and as the
compartment she occupied was air
tight she had the air therein pretty
well worked over and it was getting
somewhat stale. The cat had evident
" gotten lonesome during its confine-
ment and was rather scarce of amuse-
ments to pass the time away, for when
the clerk went to take out some stamps
he found four small kittens snuggled
together in the safe.

THE EMPRESS OF AUSTRIA'S
VILLA AT CORFU.

OF recent years the Empress of Aus
tria has spent part of the winter in the
island of Corfu, and during her So
journ occupied a modest villa, situated
on an emInence near Gastouri, small
village far famed for its beautiful sur
roundIngs aud the pure Greek type OF
its inhabitants. In the spring of 1888
the Empress decided to have a palace
in classical style erected on the same
site, and commissioned Chevalier Raf-
faelo Garlic, Neapolitan architect, to
draw mp the plans and to superintend
the construction. Exterior and inter
ior of the palace we're to be decorated
in Pompeian fashion. The Empress
named her palace "Achilleion" perhaps
in allusion 10 the dismal end of her
only son, who, like Achilles, was cut
off in the prime of youth. In the
atrium, or entrance hall, stands a
marble group, representing Achllle-
dying, and mural paintings record tbs
principal events In the life OF the
Greek hero. Terrace gardens eXtene
from the front of the stately structural
to the sea, and command the most enc
chanting views in the island, with the
Albanian coast IN the foreground, and
the snowclad mountains of Epirus on
the horizon. Beautiful trees of dark
foliage and a gorgeous flora form a
striking contrast with the marble
statues, placed on the balustrades and
in the grounds. In the most pIctur-
esque spot of the park the Empress is
going to erect "A monument to Heinrich
heine, her favorite poet. The villa
'Achilleion" is now completed, and
the EEpress Elizabeth has resided
there since Sept. 21, leaving it only a
few days since. She loves to take long
walks to different places in the island,
wherever historical remains, a Greek
rum, an ancient Venetian tower, or the
costumes of the natives attract
her. But very few of her en-
tOUrage are allowed to accompany
her on these excursions. Indoors she
spends much of her time in studying
the modern Greek language, which she
speaks already fairly we'll, one of her at
tendants being a native from Gastourl,
with whom she can converse In her
mother tongue.

the ground when walking I,however,
see no reason why girls VIII, are accas-
toned to making their own dresses
shonli not make all except, perhaps,
the knickerbOckers. l always wear
warm, long stockings, which, by lit
lie patent of my own, / arrange to but
ton at the front and back Gust above
iD to the knIck berbockers, by this
means doing away with the necessity OF
ither garters or suspenders. The but
tons should be placed back and front,
"a they get in the way if placed any
where else.
"Low heeled shoes and a Tam o
Shanter cap, that can be made to act as
a shade for the eyes, complete the cos
tume, which have found wear excel
lently if made of a good habit cloth,
with narrow braid trimming. l may
mention that my lady friend has found
that the cheaper varieties of tweeds
and serges of well-known manufactur-
ers, such, for instance, as Egerton
Burnett's, answer and wear admir-.
ably"
For those who feel disinclined tc
spend a sum sufficient to fit themselves
ont in such costume as that which
| have inst described, a very nice cy-
cling dress may be made up of wooden
combinations, a pair of loose knicker-
bockers, which any dressmaker could
make loose blouse bodice, and a skirt,
made full and plain. Mrs. Behreu's
"Omni" dress is said to be excellent
for the purpose.
Many mothers would, L think, allow
theft daughters to indulge in what is
undoubtedly a splendid form of exer-
else, could they but see them properly
attired in dress such as that described,
and mounted on suitable machine.
OF course no girl or woman should at
temp cycling who is delicate, or suffer
ing from any complaint which would be
aggravated by the vibration of the ma.
chine. For those who are strong and
healthy, however, there is scarcely q
better variety of physical recreation OF
similar nature.

Austrian Opinion of American Women

American women, if they are not
always beautiful, at least know how to
make themselves appear so. Nowhere
have 1 ever seen so many beautiful
women as in America, including even
old women with white hair. The native
American girl, especially if of English
or Scotch descent, is large and slender,
generally blonde, with regular features
and remarkably small hands and feet.
The complexion is often pale; rarely
do they have the fresh color of a Wen
nese girl. The most beautiful girl
have ever come across in my life l saw
in a New York store. She was an
American of Spanish descent, of a lit
orally dazzling beauty, such as L had
never before encountered in life or
on canvas. The happiest marriages
are those of American men to German
women.

NEVER to tire, never to grow cold; to
be patient, sympathetic. tender; to
look for the budding flower and the
opening heart; to hope always, to love
always-that is duty.
IT is said of more than half the men
that they resemble Napoleon; 1t is said
of more than half the women that they
have Madonna like faces. Still, there
was only one Napoleon and only one
Madonna.
OUR opinions are not our own, but
in the power of sympathy. Ii per-
son tells us a palpable falsehood, we
not only dare not contradict him, but
we dare harly disbelieve him to his
face. A lie boldly uttered has the
effect of truth for the instant.
MIRrH ia the sweet wine of human
life.

sang OF the sea.
So do ever leagues and leagues away.

The stormy beach Is bare.

Where Summers winds were tame,
Yet Cupid never minds the cold,
He gets there just the same.

BY HELEN WHITNEY CLARK.

It's very hard TO stand out here,
When all fh girls aud boys

With lots Of fun and noise.
One touch Of Nature, so they say,
Makes all the world akin;
And yet they haven't had the grace
To ask the Snow Man in!
I've heard them talk OF Santa Claus
And all that he would bring;
The spnntng-tOps, and balls and SledS,
And all that sort Of thing.

I'd hang them On tree;
And then, perhaps. the good old oa
Would spy them dangling there,

CROP REPORTS

Last season the Herald began publish
ing crop reports as soon as threshing
commenced, and kept it up during the
fall. Many of these reports were re-
published in the state papers, and In
newspapers outside Of the state, as well
as in pamphlets and circulars issued 5y
railway companies, and they doubtless
were Of benefit to Turner county and
South Dakota. This year we propose
to follow the same plan, and ask all
who are interested in advertising this,
the best county in the state, to report
to the Herald all yields, giving such
statements as they would be willing to
verify by oath.
Now, that these reports may be Of
benefit to the county and state, it is
necessary that they should be circula-
ted among the farmers and business
men of other states, and to aid in
spreading "the good tidings" the Her
aid will be furnished be sent out
Of the state-until December lst for
% CENTS.
Business men and farmers, you all
have eastern friends to whom you
could with profit send copies of the
paper. Hand in your list and 25 cents
for each name. We will all reap a
benefit in the near future.
