A Model Swiss Town,

81 noticed quite a number of gen.
tlcmcn registered at st. Louis hotels
recently from St Gall and | have
hearl-a. great many people wonder
where.St. Call is," said d. NJ. Fergu-
SON of Boston at the Southern. est.
Gall is one of the most picturesque
tewas ~ So garland. 1t is place
OF only a few thousand inhabitants,
but a moro frugal and industrious
population doesn't exist on the earth.
The main, and in fact nearly the only,
industry of the town is the making Of
embroideries and laces of the finest and
most costly quality. The men you
have seen registered at the hotels here
during the past few weeks are sales
men for the s. Gall embroidery and
lace houses. The goods they sell arc
made altogether by hand; no machin-
cry has yet been invented of sufficient
delicacy and perfection to weave
them, and the necessary skilled labor
is not to be found at any other place
i'll the world, not oven In Switzerland.
The people of St. Gall have been
trained to the work for generations
and are paid wages, which to the
American laborer, would be considered
starvation rates. Yet, as l said be-
fore, the St. Gallites are as happy and
contented as any people l ever saw.
Property is held in common and so
desccnds, while every man. woman
and child in the town has a distinct
and wcll-deiined work to do every
day. There are no droncs among
them; the burdens of taxation, ETC.,
are evenly distributed and they all
share equally in the general prosperity
Of their quaint community. "-TSt.

Umbrellas i'm Turkey.

In many Eastern countries all UNI
brella is a mark of distinction, and its
use is confined to people of rank. Tur-
key is one of the few Asiatic coun-
tries where the umbrella is in COM
mon use, ard carried as protection
from rain. In most places its use is
that of a parasol. Says an Eastern
traveller: "Arrivingat Constantinoplc
from countries further to the East,
where the umbrella is considered
badge Of high rank, was much as
tonished to find ii in common use in
rainy weather. However. | soon
learned that traces of tho same super
stition existed. One rainy morning |
had occasion TO walk along the road
which faces the Bosphorus. One of
the buildings passed is a favorite
palace of the Sultan's, in which no
was then residing. As approached
the gate with my umbrella over my
headonc of the scntincls stationed there
accosted me in threatening manner.
Not understanding what he said,
went on, whereupon he ran at me with
his fixed bayonet levclled.
"At that moment a friendly Turk,
who was walking behind me, snatched
my umbrella with violence from my
hand, and thrust mo forward. Then
the soldier returned to his station, and
allowed me to proceed in peace. On
returning my umbrella the Turk OK
planned that everyone is obliged TO
take down his umbrella on passing
the actual residence of the Sultan. No
matter how heavy the rain, each per-
son passing the palace must lower the
umbrella, and not raise it again until
fully past the building."-[ Ilarper's

Miss Vervain's Mistake.
BY AMY RANDOLPH.

March in the mountaiusl Frcshcts
roaring down the ravines; great
thickets of pines tossing their green
crests 10 and fro in the rush of the
tempestuous wind; snow shining OIL
on the plateaus, and pink clusters of
trailing arbutus breaking into bloom
in southern hooks and sheltered places
where last winters dead leaves had
not yet drifted away. And Lucy Ver-
vain, standing in her russell walking
dress on the porch of the little noun
tain inn, wondered if the famous Bcr-
ncsc Alps were grander than these
same Caiskill heights.
Lucy Vervain- was small and slight
aud brown-skinned, but she had large,
wistful eyes of so dark hazel that
they seemed to melt into black around
the iris, and there were quick roses
ready TO deepen in her cheeks if any
one spoke TO her. She was pretty, in
her way, like q wild-nower, or little
brown-winged bird, and she looked
around with a troubled air, as the
sound of an excited feminine voice
floated out from The one unprctentious
little "best parlor" of the inn.
dts outrageous!" said Miss Clara
Vervain.
"I'm very sorry, ma'am," said Mr..
Mkt, who kept the house.

She stalkcd about the room like

For Clara was as unlike her blushing,
shrinking little sister as tie tall poppy

Sing for her, mockingbird,
Your warm breast heaying in the sunbright
blossoms;
Sing sweeter songs than we have ever
heard,
Until the wild heart Of the world Is
stirred,
And love wakes wondering in thousand
bosomsl
Sing for her, lark of dawn,
When on your breast the lofty light is gleam-
ing!
Sing sweet and bear the message on
and on
Higher aud higher, till the world is gone,
And at Gods gates the melody is dreaming
Sing for her, whip-poor-will,
Your sweet voice ringing from the twilight
covers,
Where stars stream splendid over vale
and hill;
Sing sweet, until your melting notes
shall thrill
And throng the wide, awakened world with
loversl
Sing mockingbird! Sing, lark
Sing whip oor-will-your songs in concert
ringing;
Sing in the dewy dawn-sing in the dark;
But while We make your sweetest music
harks
A sweeter song to her my soul is singing

Macmillan Not a Hero,

who was Commanlcr-in-Chief of tho
national army during the French in

and stormy reign, is now living in re-
tircment on his hacienda in GUIANA

and so stated in his story, that the fall
of Queretaro was due to trcachcry on
the part of Miguel Lopez of Maxi
milian's staff, who was generally sup
posed to have delivered up the strong
place for n traitors reward. In an
interview General Escabedo cleared ND
that error. lie said:

has been sealed by a promise which
held safe, but the discovery of au-
thentic letters from Macmillan has
revealed the truth, through 10 agency

last favor on earth to a doomed
Prince. Miguel Lopez was secret
emissary of Macmillan. lie was sent
to me at the dead of night and in the
deepest secrecy to propose in Maxi
milian's name, the surrender of
Queretaro, providing he, the Emperor,
was allowed to fee the country in
safety. This | could not and would
not grant, and demanded an uncondi-
tional surrender, Miguel Lopez then
told me, in Maximiian's name, that
the surrender of Queretaro would be
madc on the morrow, but asked me,
in Maximilian's name and as last
and single favor TO the fatcd Prince,
never TO reveal the proposition made
by Macmillan to surrender his army
in exchange for his freedom and TO
thus save his name from the infamy
which wonld inevitably attach 10 it,
if his reasonable intent were known
to the world. This is how it CHANGED
that Colonel Lopez has borne in silence
many years tho brand of infamy as
the last act of heroic devotion to the

The Dutch Stove.

am convert 10 the German sys-
tenn of house heating. The dutch
stove' has been regarded as an ex-
preston so contemptous as to be de-
risive. 1t is all insti Ion possessing
the largest merits. The usual stove
in Berlin is tower of porcelain,
bound in brass, extending nearly to
the ceiling, and an article of furniture
pleasant to look upon. Stoves are ar
tistic and not fantastic. They get
the most ont of fuel, and arc clean.
Within few inches of the floor is a
thin brass door, not larger than a
sheet of foolscap paper. 1t has a
light latch, and, open, discloses a
solid iron door of tho same size, and
on button hangs the key to a screw.
Apply the key and open the door, and
within is a third door with air-holes.
Open that and there is a chamber for
fuel.
The Germans have kindling in
small Jumps, that make fire a sure
thing, and little black bricks of CON-
pressed slack, stuck together with
tarry paste. Start the fire and close
the inner door, and when the bricks
are glowing shut the second door,
screw it up tight, swinging the outer
door into its place, and you need no
moro fire for twenty-four hours. The
porcelain tower becomes warm. but
not blistering hot, and diffuses
warmth that is wholesome and COM
Portable. 1t is magical that SO much
heat can be evolved from so little
fuel, and that the process should be
one of absolute cleanliness.
