Two Great CurIoslties.

A traveller once with great serious
ness related to Q large company that
be had travelled through all tho
world, and had seen at least ono
curiosity which had never yet been
mentioned by any author.
This wonder, according to his as
sertion, was acabbage-plant so large
that under ono single leaf fifty armed
horsemen In battle array could sta
ton themselves and perform their
evolutions. No one who heard this
exaggeration deemed it worthy Of
REPUTATION; but one said, with the
utmost composure and GOODNESS,
that, he, too, had been somewhat Of
q traveller, and had been as far as
Japan, where, to his astonishment,
he had seen more than three hundred
coppersmiths at work upon an i'm
mense cauldron, and that five hun
bred men were to be employed to
smooth aud polish it. "For what
purpose, then, would they wish to
use this monstrous cauldron?" asked
the first traveller, sneeringly. "For
cooking the cabbage-plants, sir, such
as you were telling US about just
now" was the answer.

Kate Field says that Browniny should
Not Lie In Westminstsr
It seems to me thousand pities
chat Robert Browning Is buried in
Westminster Abbey, writes Kate Field.
IT sounds we'll to read that he lies in
the poets cornor. but Sir Godfrey
hneller was right wnen he exclaimed:
by heaven, 1 viii. not be buried In
Westminster. They do bury fools
there" Investigation shows that fools
are vastly In the majority. and that
genius Is tucked away In gloomy
nook.
Why the wishes Of great men are
not carried out by their families always
strikes me as strange. 10 say the least
There's Dickens for example who
was slowed away beneath the abbey
floor Notwithstanding that thirty years
before his death ne looked down upon
the burial ground OF Rochester cathe-
dral from the top OF the castle and
said: There. my boy. mean to go
into death and ashes" There the
peoples novelist should have been
buried for the reason that Rochester
means Dickens There he received
portion OF his limited education; there
he sat In by-places near the grand old
castle with head full OF Partridge,
Strap Tom Pipes and Sancho Panza;
there he first heard of Yorkshire
schools. and there he brought his frat
and his last hero, the Alpha and
Omega OF his authorship. Were Dick

No matter surely, to those who pass
on what becomes OF their worn out
cast-off "clothes" but great matter to
the world Of sentiment which makes
life beautiful. Tho poet expressed
himself more strongly on this point
the summer before his death, telling
his sister he wished to be buried
wherever he might die; II In England
with his mother; II in France. with his
father; II in Italy with his wife. He
died at Venice, in that land which
long ago he called 1.-The woman. coun- :

Open my heart and you win see
Graved inside oft, Italy.
There was every reason then that
the ashes OF Robert Browning should
mingle with those OF his wife. The
sole excuse is that further interments
In the Florentine cemetery has been
prohibited; but Signor Crispi would
have appealed to parliament to re-
scind that order. and no one doubts
but his appeal would have been
granted.
So Robert Browning lies not where
his heart lay, and the poem of his life
remains forever incomplete.

WATCHES REDUCED.
An Opportunity for Our Subscribers
to Take Advantage Of
Cut Prices.

The Elgin and Waltham Companies have
announced this week an important reduction
in their most popular grades OF Ladies
Watches. This will be the first announce
ment of the fact which thousands of jewelers.
in the country will receive Many of them
will not be very prompt in announcing the
reduction, on account of its bearing upon
stock they are carrying. We take the first
opportunity to inform our subscribers OF
the fact, and to give them chance to buy
watches under it. In our opinion this re-
duction cannot be permanent, and should
the manufacturers again put the price back
we must, of necessity, follow suit. We
therefore advise prompt action, as we must
reserve the right to withdraw the offers at
any time without previous notice. We be-
lieve, in point of fact, that "rock bottom"
so to speak, has been more than reached in
these standard goods.
