of the sheet iron before it was dip

Jaded with Pleasure.

Two American young men on their way
to China met in hotel in San Francisco q
missionary just returned from That coun-
try. The Clergyman began eagerly to tell
them Of the art and architecture, and
strange customs and beliefs which they
would find there to interest them.
They listened with polite Indifference.
One of them said mt last:
To tell you the truth, we are not inter-
estcd in any of those things We are going
mainly to witness n Chinese execution We
have heard that rs many us thirty men are
often behcaded in n day, and we mean to
see the sight"
Surely you do not mean it?"
The young men almost chuclzled at the
look of horror and disgust which the mis-
sionary turned on them.
Why, my dear man, 1t is the horror
that we want" one said. 'Thc exhibition
will he startling of course-a thousand
times more so than n dozen tragedies on the
stage! Think of the sensationw
They were not quiZzing their listener.
They went to China, where perhaps they
saw executions and experienced the sens;l-
tons they sought.
1t may be supposed that they were by
nature or by training and association cruel
and brutal in their tastes. No, that was
not the explanation Of their craving for a
bloody spectacle.
Their fathers were men of wealth, who
had allowed the sons to grow UP in idle
ness and without an aim in life. The young
men had well nigh exhausted the power of
money to supply them with n new sensa-
ton, and We're ready to go to the ends of
the earth and to indulge the most brutal
tendencies of their nature TO obtain the
gratllcation.-You Companion.

The Slender Woman.

The slender woman's greatest mistake is
In having her clothes too loose, believing
that i'll this way she hides the angles. In
reality her bodice should be fitted per
fcctly, padding used if necessary, und a re-
lance placed upon the trimming to give
apparent size. The lace cpaulettes, either
OH bodice or wrap, will add to her breadth
and make her look more rounded, while
the lace cape has an equally good result.
She can wenr short coat. double breasted
and with fiaring revers of fur or velvet. In
deed it may be said OF her that everything
impossible to her stout sister is permissible
for her. A snugly fitting bonnet will be
found most becoming, and about her throat
she can have either n high, stiff collar of
white linen or the full, fluffy fur or feather
bon.
The tailor made suit in it's severity is
proper, for good tailor knows how to fit
even the plainest dress so that the wcarer.
while slender, has rounded appearance
and does not suggest that unpleasant nd

plain fabrics are not suited to you, but
that you want rather the soft, clinginp
stuifs that are mt once graceful and i'm good
style. In colors choose the warm browns.

No Christian may enter these holy pre-
cincts-the mosques of NaZan-and as one
passes the doors of the mosque one can
only catch glimpse OF long rows of col
umns and nrcades. The tombs themselves
are within, each in it's sanctuary. These
holy of holes are said to he most gorgeous
and beautiful. The ceilings and doors are
richly painted and gilded. the walls and
the tombs are hung with gold embroidered
velvet, while on every side are ranged the
presents brought by the faithful who visit
and pray there. Two centuries and a half
of offerings are contained within these
sanctuaries. Among them are candlesticks
of silver and gold, boxes of illuminated
manuscripts, more than a hundred clocks
of all ages and fashions, u quantity of old
china and many other quaint things
Doubtless among this huge collection are
articles of gold and silver clocks, china,
etc. which. on account of their ages and
the great care that has always been taken
of them, are almost priceless.
The business part of the sanctuaries Is
without doubt the huge boxes with grated
tops. into which the faithful drop their
money. The sums thus collected are di-
vided monthly into four parts, one-fourth
being laid aside for the keeping up of the
tombs, and three-fourths go to the she
reefun fanily.-Blackwood Magazine.

w. C. =. BRECKENRIDGE.

William G. p Breckinridge was born Mt
Baltimore Aug. 90. 1887; was graduated
from Center college, Danville. KY, in 1855;
entered the Confederate service in 1851 and
became colonel of the noted Ninth Ken
lucky cavalry. After some years work as
lawyer, professor of equity Jurisprudence
in Cumberland university, Tennessee, and
lawyer agaih he was elected to congress in
1854 to represent the Seventh NcXington)
district and has been reelected biennially
ever since. or his military career Mr..
Breckenridge seldom talks but in the 80
cial circle he sometimes speaks with much
humor of the time when he partook of
Ohio's inequalities ''in company with
General John Morgan and other gallant
Kentuckians"
The highest encOmium that can be pro-
nounced upon Mr.. Brecknridges course
IN congress consists in stating the simple
fact that from the first lie rapidly advanced
in the good will Of his most pronounced
political opponents, and that for many
years he has been the favorite southern
representative in New England and the far
north generally. His address at Creston.
H., was an affair of almost national i'm.
portance and his speeches in other north.
ern states have attracted great attention.
Last summer he sustained a great affiic.
ton in the loss of his wifc-a lady univer-
sally lOved-at Lexington, their home. Per
sonally Mr.. Breckenridge is a man of i'm
posing and attractive appearance, a Pres.
byterian in faith, rs his family have ever
been since the Scottish Covenanter's day,
and man OF irreproachable morals

No English Catholic Cardinal.

Three years ago there were three Eng.
lish cardnals-Newman, Manning and
Howard. Today there is not one The late
Cardinal Howard had been in a poor con-
dition physically and mentally, for some
years. He failed to remember his oldest
friends. and sometimes would not take
meals for days together. For years past it
would have been difficult to recognize in
the pinched and cmaciated frame of the
cardinal the gay young life guardsman
who was chosen for his good looks and me
physique to lead the procession at the
Duke Of Wellington's funeral In those
days young Howard looked every inch Il
soldier, and it was greatly to his friends
surprise that they learned of his going to
Rome and entering the ecclesiastical state
He lattcrly occupied the dual position of
urchpriest of st. Peters and bishop of
Frascati. These offices had never been
united in the same individual since they
we're held by tile cardinal f York, last of
the house o. Stuart

THE WORLDS FAB ORATOR.

Tho Distinguished KentucIian Who In
to Deliver tho Dedicntory Grafton.
William Campbell Preston Breckenridge
has many claims to greatness AS con-
gresham he Is a recognized leader of his
party and enjoys the profound respect of
his opponents. As n debater and q political
speaker he is singularly gifted in winning
votes without provoking angry opposition.
And rs an orator, while not possessed of
the passionate fervor of Clay. an Ingcr
soil or Demosthenes, he has no superior
among the men Of his time In maintaining
the interest of his hearers through n loul,
discourse. Nevertheless the probabilities
are that century from now he will be re-
membered chiefly because of his having
been the orator of the day mt the letlicatory
exercises of the Columbian exposition.
Tho selection Of Mr.. Breckenridge for
such an honor is full of Significance. 1t is
tribute to his broad minded PATRIOTISM
still more recognition of his great nbili
ties and most of all probably an intended
demonstration that the union of hearts
and union Of hands is now more reality
than ever before. incidentally also it is !.
national recognition OF great famly-a
family that has been prominent in Amer.

orable for much longer period
Tho founder Of the family was n stern

His son John was n famous clergyman.
and his son Robert jefferson was equally

terrible earnestncss Of the family and the
confidence of mankind in their integrity
were exhibited in the fact that this Ken

son and nephew. the former previously vice
president, were in the Confederate army.
The career Of John Cabil breckenridge,

Buckle, author of "The History of Civili-
zation," that this remarkable writer was
entirely self taught. His health rs a boy
was so delicate that he was never sent to
school, and was left to learn little or much
as he liked and how he liked His accu-
INFLATED knowledge was prodigious and
his memory-even about trifiing things
most remarkable. A friend of mine when
in his company had occasion to refer to the
cultivation of rhubarb. whereupon Buckle
Immediately said, "The plant was intro
duced into Europe in 1901 mean the
common garden rhubarb which grows
wild in the mountains of Syria and Per
sia." He then went on to say that this
must not be COMPOUNDED with the official
rhubarb of commerce, adding statistics
about the value of the latter as an article
of import into Great Britain.-Mrs. Crosse
