THE design to raise a fund to pro-

one. The dictum that the laborer is
worthy of his hire, is certainly not
fulfilled if he be left in want in his

Husbands For Orphans.

At the far end of Naples lies the
little church of Santa Maria, An
nunziata, which once a year on the
"day of our Lady" wakes up into
brief life. and excitement. In a
silent row before the high altar
kneel thirty girls, all in black gar

fixed on the picture of Madonna
before them. These are orphans
from the neighboring fondling asy-

Worn on State Occasions.

The King of Portugal has the
most valuable crown. The jewels
of this monarch's crown are said to
be valued at $6,5OO,OOO.
One of the costliest crowns in
Europe is that worn by the Car of
Russia on state occasions. 1t is
surmounted by cross formed of
five magnificent diamonds, resting
upon an immense uncut but pol
ished ruby. The coronet of the
Empress contains the most beauti-
full mass of diamonds ever collected
in one band.
The crown of the Queen-Empress
of Great Britain, valued at 81 800,
600, contains one large ruby, one
large sapphire, sixteen others, eight
emeralds, four smaller rubies, 1860
brilliant diamonds, 1878 rose dia-
monds, four drop-shaped pearls and
269 other pearls.
In official dress the Sultan of Jo-
hore wears-including his crown
$4,000, 900 worth Of diamonds. His
collar, epaulettes, belt. cuffs and
orders blaze with diamonds. On
his wrists are heavy gold bracelets,
and his fingers are cramped with
almost priceless rings. The handle
and scabbard Of his sword are
solid mass of precious stones.
The most expensive royal rega-
lias in the world are those of the

Hailstorms on the Plains.

"Hailstorms are greatly dreaded
by cowboys on the trail, especially
if they come at night, when the cat

stampede is pretty sure to follow.

The herd is alarmed, and before
anything can be successfully done
to stay them, the whole are off like
a fash. The bark of coyote, when
everything is still at night, has
stampeded many a bunch of cattle
disastrously. A blade of grass, car

of the church and hands him a lit
tie packet Of papers. This the priest
reads carefully. and being evidently
satisfied, he gives back the papers
and leads the candidate toward the
row of girls. All their eyes are fixed
more steadfastly than ever on the
altar, all;their hands clasped tighter
together, their faces turn shade
paler, their hearts beat quicker as
the young man walks slowly along
the row. At last he stops. His
choice is made. He stretches out
his hand with little smile. The
girl arises, casts a long look, half

An Unanswered Question.

1t was at a crowded political
meeting in England. The audience
could hardly breathe. Suddenly q
quiet but determined-looking man
surprised every one by exclaiming:
II want to put question to the
speaker"
"Mr. Blinks, the candidate, who
was speaking, replied: "Well, sir.
| am here to answer questions"
"Then, what did Mr.. Gladstone
say in 1862"
"That is an absurd question; he
has said so many things"
"Never mind. What did he say
in 1892"
Here the audience began to show
signs of disapproval, and cries of
"Turn him out !" rose from all parts
of the house.
II again repeat" cried the ire
pressible one, "What did Mr.. Glad
Stone"
Here he was seized and thrust out
of the hall. A friend accompanied
him and said, as soon as they re-
gained their breath, "Why did you
make such fool of yourself repeat
ing that idiotic question:"
because wanted some fresh air,
and did not know how else to get
out of the place. ."-E xehap4o.

Lost Fortune and Courage.

Some strange things happen in
mining camps. The number who
have worked and delved in follow
ing a prospect until their money
or their patience became exhausted
are many. And it not infrequently
happens that such parties live to
learn that they abandoned their
claims when few more days work,
or a few more strokes with the
pick, would have revealed the lead
which they had worked to find. A
story was told to us by an old miner
a few days ago of an Eastern col
lege professor who came out here in
early days and started to prospect
on some of the quartz leads around
Grass Valley. When he arrived
here he had $4,000, and he bought
up quite a number of claims and
spent his money freely in prospect
ing them. He worked with a buoy
ant heart, confident that his labor
and investments would be remuner-
ated. He had charming wife and
four bright children. One thousand
after another of his money was
sunk into the ground until finally
his last dollar was gone, and from
outward appearances he was no
nearer getting it back than he was
when he started. He became de-
spondent and while laboring under
fit of mental depression he pre-
pared draught of deadly poison,
gave drink to his wife and to each
of his children, and then after wait
ing long enough to satisfy himself
that they were past recovery he par
took of the poison and laid him
down to die with those he loved.
Before their bodies were cold they
were fonnd by man from one of
his mines who had come to inform
him that large vein of rich rock
had just been uncovered. He and
his had passed beyond the cares of
this world, and had no further use
for earthly treasure, but the lead
that was struck the day of his death
turned out a rich one and yielded
gold enough in subsequent years
to have made him independently
rich.-Auburn (Cal. Herald.

TERRIBLE WORK OF VOLCANOES.
What an Active One Can Do Wheh
Fully Aroused.

Few people in this country ina
agine what terrible work volcano
Of the regulation size can do when
it once gets fully aroused. In 1888
Cotapaxi threw its fiery rock
cts more than 1900 feet above the
crater, and in 1879, when the blaz.
ing mass confined in the same
mountain was struggling for an out
let, it roared so loud that the awful
noise was heard for a distance of
600 miles. In 1897 the crater of
Tunguragua, one of the great peaks
of the Andes, flung out torrents of
mud and lava, which damned up
a great river, opened new lakes, be-
side making a deposit of seething
mud, ashes and lava 600 feet deep
over the whole area of valley
which was twenty miles long and
averaged 1 200 feet in width.
The stream of lava which flowed
from Yersuvius in 1887 and passed
through theValley of Terre de Greece
is estimated to have contained $685.
100000 cubic feet of solid matter.
In 1850 Htna poured out a flood
of melted stones and ashes which
covered eighty-four square miles of
fertile country to depth of from
ten to forty feet. On this occasion
the sand, scoria, lava, ETC., from the
burning mountain formed Mount
Rosini, a peak two miles in circum-
ference and over four thousand feet
high.
In the eruption of Vesuvius in
the year 70 A. D., the time of the
of Pompeii, the scoria,
lava, ashes, sand and lava vomited
forth far exceeded the Dimensions
of the volcano itself, while in 1860
Etna disgorged over twenty times
its own mass. Vesuvius has sent
its ashes into Syria, Egypt and
Turkey. 1t hurled stones of 500
pounds weight to Pompeii, a dis
tance of six English miles,

Preparing Treaties.

When the draft of a treaty has
been rendered into form that is
satisfactory to both sides two cop
les of it are carefully written out.
Supposing that the negotiation is
accomplished at Washington, the
Department of State makes these
transcripts on heavy white paper
of the fnent quality called "treaty
paper" The writing is done by a
clerk in an elegant Spencerian
hand, without ornamentation, save
that around each page is drawn
chaste border of two straight lines
in red ink. The text is written in
two parallel columns. In the copy
intended for the United States the
first column is in English and the
second column is in the court lam
guage of the other nation. That
language is French in the case of
Russia and most other European
countries.
The other copy is precisely the
same, except that the foreign Ian
guage comes first. However, all
through the text the name of the
foreign nation is put before that
of the United States, and the same
rule applies to the names of the
persons directing the negotiation.
Our own copy has an exactly op-
posite arrangement. For obvious
reasons a treaty between Great
Britain and the United States has
only one column of writing, the
language being the same in both
countries, but the names in the cop
les take precedence in the manner
described. Finally, the pages of
these original copies are bound to-
gether at the back with q silk rib
bon. The copy belonging to the
United States has a red, white and
blue ribbon, while that which is
to 60 to the foreign country has it's
national colors.-Philadelphia, Pa,

TH0UeHT HIM DEAD.
Powerless to Speak and Living in Hor-
ror Of Being Buried Alive.

A strange case of catalepsy is ag-
itating the physicians at the Central
Insane Asylum at Columbus, Ohio.
Matthew Branagan, a patient who
was sent to the institution a year
ago from Steubenville, has just re-
covered from prolonged trance, or
suspension of all the faculties ex-
cept the organs that keep the last
spark of life from going out. Prior
to becoming insane Branagan was
a glass-blower. Soon after being
placed in the asylum his condition
assumed q drowsy state, and he
slept much of the time. December
Sd last the cataleptic symptoms
first became marked, and he went
into trance. From that time un-
til a few days ago he never spoke a
word, never opened his. eyes and
never ate a particle of food. At
times he stopped breathing, and
was in every way corpse except
that his blood remained warm and
his muscles did not become rigid.
Respiration was revived by arti-
fetal means a number of times after
he had practically been given up
for dead. He was fed through the
nostrils by the use of tube. Night
and morning the attendant who
was detailed to care for the case
would pour milk, the whites of eggs
and other liquid refreshments into
a tube in order to keep Branagan
alive. If the attendant had Bran
agan upon the bed in a certain po-
sition the patient would never Stir
until the attendant returned, even if
many hours elapsed. If the attend
ant closed Branagan's hand it would
remain clinched until Strengthened
out by the attendant, no matter
how long it was left untouched.
He would not walk unless pushed
along. II, in sitting him down one
leg stuck out horizontally, he would
not lower the member until some
one took hold of it and pulled it
down.
A few day ago Branagan showed
signs of recovery, and subsequently
astonished his attendants by obey
ing an order to put on his clothes.
He is now covalescent, and at the
bi-weekly asylum ball few nights
since, says the Cincinnati Enquirer,
glided about with the best of them.
He talks about his former condi-
ton and says he was perfectly con-
scious during the entire period of
the trance.
At times he became very hungry,
he says, before the attendants would
come to him with the tube, but he
was powerless to tell any one by
word or sign that he wanted food.

nay claim it as an addition to those they

of any sort the former are by far the bet
ter of the trio; but for silk either is
equally good so that your preference
makes the determining point.
The bodice can be made from thin India
silk for slightly more dress occasions;
from gloria for real hard wear: from lawn
of any sort; and in any or all materials
will be found an addition to the summer
wardrobe.
Cotton stuffs require no lining at all,
and gloria only a stay for the shirrings;
but thin silk is better made over a thin
yoke-shaped lining that will relieve the
strain. TO cut the yoke follow the lines
of your basque pattern and shirr the fichu
into the yoke so that there need be no
danger of the delicate stuff pulling or OF
the shirring threads giving way.
HOW TO WEAR IT.
When you put the bodice on, tie the
back down under the skirt with the rib
bon, cross the fichu front at the
waist line, carry the ends round to the
back and knot. You can draw and pin
down the folds in front of the waist line
to make graceful curves if you like.
TO MAKE WITHOUT SLEEVES AND BACK.
If you have one or more jacket suits or
blazer suits and want something both
novel and comfortable IN place of an en-
tire blouse, you can make fichu front
