A Yialtor From PersIa.

A Persian woman has come to this
country, not to get funds for the amel-

women, like our charming Hindoo Wis.

the condition of American women. She
has been giving lessons In the occult arts
Of Persian embroidery. Thus the Orient

Persia brings light into the dark places
which have never been fully illuminated
by any Of the fashionable stitches that
have tried 10 work their way into the
hearts Of women during the past 20 years.
Even Kensington stitch has suggested the
rivalries of London society, but the en-

A curious will contest, according 10
Paris papers, is about TO be tried In the
Seine courts. Five years ago Russian
princess died, leaving a large fortune.
There was great surprise among her rel
atives when the testament was opened.
BY one Of its clauses she left 5000, 900
francs 70 the person who would remain
a year In the chapel to be erected above
her grave in the Pere la Chaise. The
body of the princess, according to the
legendary report, lies In q crystal coffin
in a wonderful state Of preservation. No
one Of her relatives has been able to re-
main longer than two OF three days In
the chapel. What will become Of the
5000, 600 francs Is the question.

Rrend and Butter.

A new adjunct to the breakfast table
is the butter "spreader." It is knife
or Q inches long, with blade varying
in size from half to three-quarters of
an inch. One side Of the end of the blade
is rounded. The other side rises in a
point divided into two teeth. You break
apart your lump Of butter with the
teeth and the blade spreads it on the
bread. The new notion is to serve but
ter in tiny balls or curls or cubes, patted
in the home pantry and kept solid in a
cool place until serving. For helping
there Is a spear or lance of silver or
gold, the point of which is thrust through
the butter ball and so transferred to the
bread and butter plate.
To accommodate the fashion in serv-
ing, new styles of butter bowls are seen.
They are round and fat, with sides Of
open work silver inches ligh. The
silver shape is filled with white or color
ed glass or china. Their usefulness ia
shown in warm weather, when the glass
is half filled with ice water or cracked
ice, and the butter balls float about solid
and firm during the meal or until they
are eaten.
A new silver piece is the ''bread fork, .
trident with a short cylindrical handle
Of bright repousse work and prongs OF
the same, 3 inches long, terminating in
points. The idea and design are imported
from the English table, where the fork Il
of practical use. The Britisher has his
cold loaf on the table and slices it as one
wishes Il. Whoever assumes the duty
passes not the breadboard for you tC
help yourself, but the slice on the tip ol
the bread knife. The fork is in helping
TO replace the bnife.-Detroit Free Press

A queer story, and one which readers
would do well to thoroughly salt (givs
Il more than the proverbial grain) before
swallowing, comes with first class rec
ommendation all the way from Eng
land. Thirty-three years ago, in 1850, a
member Of the Chaplin family died at
Blankney, Lincolnshire, and was laid In
the family tomb. This particular Chap
lin was naturalist, and among his
other pets had large gray bat. That
bat was permitted 10 enter the tomb and
was sealed mp alive along with the corpse
Of his dead master. In 1855 the vault
was opened, and TO the surprise Of all
the bat was alive and fat On four diff
ferent occasions since the Chaplins have
looked after the welfare OF their dead
relatives pet, and each time II has heen
reported that the bat was still in the
land OF the living, although occupying
quarters with the dead. He was Last

Miss willard and Lady Somerset.

1.-THE uncrowned queen Of American
democracy" Miss Frances Willard, and
that much admired English woman, Lady
Henry Somerset, have attained the height
of friendship whore they can be justly
termed the Damon and Pythias of mod
ern women. A photograph Of them has
Just been sent out in which they appear
standing side by side, with their arms
around each others waist.
Miss Willard and Lady Somerset are
long past the gentle schoolgirl period,
and friendship between women of their
maturity must be adamant to stand the
test of the camera in such an affection
ate position. 1t is too rare to escape at
tention. Feminine friendship has been
rallied at as frailest of the frail, made
only to break at the first excuse.
The latest cable dispatches report these
two friends as resting together among
the mountains of Switzerland. From
the first moment when Miss Willard and
Lady Somerset met, about 18 months
ago, they have been bound by morethaI
ordinary ties. They were prepared tC
agree with each other. but since the
death of Miss Willard's mother they
have hardly been separated.
In this country they have worked and
Travelled together. Then Miss Willard
was the guest of Lady Somerset in hel
English home. The English and Ameri
can temperance leaders worked in Eng
land together, and reached America il
season for the w. G. T. U. convention in
Boston. Next Chicago acquired the great
pair, and following their exertions at the
fair they took refuge on the continent
II is understood that as the next mov'
Lady Somerset will return to visit Mis-
Willard here.-New York World.

that at least \ couple Of thousand Of such

many of the girls are corning back to the

months ago the employment offices were

Ject appeared in last nights NEWS. AT
the close OF the uorning's argument the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company made
the move TO take the entire matter into

tended that In the case instituted by the
Nationai Docks people Federal questions
are involved. and. iuasmuch as the quas-
lion at issue Is between citizens OF one
State n q foreign corporation, the en-
tire disposition of the cause should be
determined by a Federal Court.
MIR. Charles L. Corpin, of counsel for
the National Docks Company, resisted
the application by the Pennsylvania
Comnany on the general ground that ths
upper court has no right to Interfere. It
has no jurisdiction. He cited a large
number Of cases In which Judges of the
Federal Court in similar applications de-
clined to interfere until It had been
shown that The remedy ia the State
Courts had been exhausted. Counsel
claimed that the Pennsylvania Com
pany's action In seeking to detach ttself

legal.
Counsellor Emory. for the National
Docks Com Dauy, also resisted the peti-
ton, and urged that the Pennsylvania
claim OF citizenship was untenabie. That
company's claim could only stand whea
all the citizens of a State are on ons side
and the cttizens of another Que on the
opposite side.
Ex-Governor Bedle. for the Pennsyls
