A PLANTERS pLUcKr WIFE.

A planters wife wasleft with Mis-
-siissippi river plantation, under S23, 600
mortgages and family of five chill
dren, just ready for school and col
lege. The two yelrs' illness of her
husband had given her a grasp OF the
business. After his death, when the
commission merchant came up to
"close her out, the improved condition
of the place and the wisdom of herplans
caused him to say; "I'li advance all
the money you want this year. Atthe
end of three years she had paid the
mortgages, sent her sons and daughters
to college, and her plantation was uni
versally confessed to be the best i'm
proved one in the county. Not very

Some valuabis rrsasarts.

Uncle Sam has some very valuable
treasures of gold IN the National

interest attaching TO them. Among
these are three massive Baskets Of

pound candy box They we're gifts

TIN Sc towns. There is a gold card Of
invitation TO ball, which was seut
to tie hero OF Appomattox by friends
in San Francisco. 1t was inclo;ed in
a silver envelope, with the address
engraved on the outside and an ordi-
nary 2-cent stamp affixed. Also
there is gold scimitar, sent by the
Emperor OF Morocco to Thomas JEFF

swords with solid gold scabbards.

ity. 1t is the most valuable medal
ever conferred by this Government
on an individual. Francis died
about six months ago, being long
past 30. Some time previously he
had surrendered these trophies to the
National Museum, and during the
last years of his life he constantly
haunted that institution, keeping an
eye upon the case containing his god
box and medal, while watching with
gratihed interest the visitors who
paused to examine the mementoes Of
his achievement. All such treasures
at the museum, though apparently
protected only by glass, are In reality
connected with system of burglar
alarms, so that nobody could touch
single article without rousing the
whole building. Once a year all OF
them are cleaned though their
brightness is but little dimmed, the
cases being air tight There are ever

one bill would be missing. The pack
age was always sealed, and the seals
were never disturbed. Neither had
the envelope been cut or torn. Sus-

the Montana bank, and then TO the

at last IL was proved beyond doubt
that these men were honest ana that
the money was stolen while the letter
was in transit

In paper read recently before the

on the Highlands of Borneo, in the
Indian archipelago, Charles Hose
gave an account of how the native
mothers stick huge rings through their
daughters ears at the age of eight
months only, eventually increasing
them to the weight of two pounds
each By the time that girl has
come to her maturity, her ears thus
weighed down, reach almost to their
elbows, and Mr.. Hose has seen one
woman put her head through one of
these elongated ear-lobes. In the
south of Italy long and heavy earrings
are worn, though not approaching
those of Borneo.

HOW DOLLY MADISON WON HERHUsBAND.
Mrs. Madison was unquestionably
the most popular woman that has ever
presided over the social life of the Ex-
ecutive Mansion. She WINS extremely
beautiful iii person and gentle and
courteous in manner. Consummato
tact made good her lack of liberal ed
ucation. Madison first met her when
he was a member of Congress at Phil
adelphia, and, with Aaron Burr, board
ed at the house of her father, Mr..
Payne. She was then the widow Todd.
The future president promptly fell in
love with her. But having some doubts
about her mental qualities, he one day
handed her book to read and asked
her to give him her opinion of it. She
gave the book to Burr with the re-
: quest that he would write letter fol
her to copy. This he did with his
usual brilliance; and Madison, on re-
ceiving the note, was fully convinced
that his lady-love's intellect was equal
to her beauty. He at once offered
himself and was accepted. -[Scrihner S
