Two BaUhs at One Shot.

Tim Hennessey of Indian Greek, who
was in town last Saturday, tells us that
his 12-year-old stepson, Tommy Wallace,
killed two deer the Sunday before in a
remarkable manner. The boy, while
hunting in the mountains near Indian
Creek, shot large buck and killed it at
the first fire. just as the slain deer fell
another buck presented itself right along
side the dead one. Young Wallace.
thinking he had won laurels enough for
q boy in one day, concluded not to shoot
again. But when he started to get his
game, what was his surprise to see this
one also fall to the ground, and when he
reached the spot he found two dead deer.
He had shot them both at the first fire.
The bullet which went through the neck
of the first had entered the breast Of the
second deer. er.--Trinity Journal.

Woman,s Sacrificing Love.

While taking supper in an up town
restaurant / could not avoid hearing at
the table next to us discussion on the
possible marriage between the daugh-
ter of late millionaire and a certain
actor.
A man about town, in immaculate
evening dress, chaste linen and snowy
carnation in the lapel OF his coat, and
who had also auburn whiskers and an
air of thinking very well of himself,
remarked with positive conviction in
his voice: No danger whatever of such
a match. The old man left his daugh-
ters SIC, 600, 900 each with tho under
standing that if they married against
tho wishes of the executors they would
forfeit half the amount. No girl in her
senses. don't you know, would throw
up IS, 900. 600 for any man."
A woman's voice, with touch of re-
sentiment, replied: Not give up half
she had for the man she lovedi How
many women have given up allf"-

The oldest Trees In the World.

The bo tree of Anuradapura was
planted 2SS should be 245, Davids)
years before Christ. Its age is matter
of record, its conservancy has been an
object of solicitude to several dypasties,
and the story of its vicissitudes has
been preserved in series of continuous
chronicles among the most authentic
that have been handed down by man
kind. The yew trees of Fountains abb
bey are believed to have fourished there
1900 years ago. The olives in the
garden Of Gethsemane were full grown
when the Saracens were expelled from
Jerusalem, and the cypress of Soma. in
Lombardy, is said to have been tree
in the time Of julius Caesar, yet the
bo tree is older than the Oldest of these by
a century, and would almost seem to
verify the prophecy pronounced when
it was planted-that it would Flourish
and be green forever. ."-Rhys Davis

One may say, THE requisites of suc-
cess on the stage are youth, health, good
elocutionary talents and practiced skill,
good looks and dramatic instinct. 7" Then
it could be replied that if person pos
sessed this combination he or she need
give himself CT herself no further con-
cern as to success. 1t is absolutely se-
curc--as secure as an income from
$500, 900 of government bonds, and that
to a person just starting out on stage
career and anxious TO make good liv-
ing ont of 1t such preliminary condi-
tions are as remote as the big bank ball
ance to the new beginner in commercial
business.
1t is really the case that most Of the
conditions that qualify for stage sue
cess have to be worked for. This sort
of instruction may not be impaired by
professional teachers at so much a les
son, brt it proceeds from teachers all
the same, whether voluntary or invol-
untary, since all human beings are con-
tinually not only receiving but giving
lessons. .--Rose Coghlan.

Miss r. T.. Hail. the inventor of the
china kiln, is one of the women who are
rapidly coming to the front. She was
born Mt the old Ellsworth homestead at
Windsor, Conn. her father being a well
known lawyer of Washington, whose So
cial prestige and kindly nature made
him the recipient of the distinguished
friendships of Webster, Clay and Pierce,
and her great-grandfathe was Oliver
Ellsworth, who was minister to France
and chief justice of the supreme court
under the Adams administration.
The Ellsworth homestead is a fine old
place. In one of the charming rooms
is the old copper uA which the ia
ther of his country" drank coffee from,
and ON the wall hangs a fine Gobelin
tapestry. which Napoleon l presented
to Oliver Ellsworth when minister to
France.

The whole GLOBE Plays Him Serving Man
70 Spread His Table.
Without being luxurious, the whole
globe has played him serving man to
spread his table. Russia gave the hemp,
or India or South Carolina the cotton,
for that cloth which his wife lays upon
1t. The eattern islands placed there
those condiments and spices which were
once the secret relishes of tho wealthy.
Australian downs send him frozen mutt
ton or canned beef, the prairies OF
America meal for his biscuit and pud-
ding, and If he will eat fruit tho or
chards of Tasmania and tho palm
woods of the West Indies proffer de-
licious gifts. while the orange groves of
Florida and OF the Hesperides cheaper
for his use those golden apples which
dragons used to guard.
His coffee comes from where jew
eled humming birds hang in the bow
ers Of Brazil, or purple butterflies 1ut-
ter amid the Javan mangroyes. Great
clipper ships, racing by night and day
under clouds Of canvas, convey TO him
the tea from China or Assam, or from
the green Singhalese hills. The sugar
which sweetens it was crushed from
canes that waved by the Nile or the
Orinoco, and the plating of the spoon
with which he stirs it was dug for
him from Mexican or Nevadan mines.
The currants in his dumpling are a
tribute from classic Greece, and his
timed salmon or kippered herring a to-
ken from the seas and rivers of 6anafa

VIII Purify Politics.

A dispatch from Topeka to the Kan
sas City Times says: Judge Riner Of
Wyoming. who is presiding over the
United States circuit and district courts
in this city, believes in equal suffrage.
In Wyoming, he says, equal suffrage
has proved a great success by purifying
politics. Politicians who are inclined
to use corrupt and disreputable means to
accomplish a purpose have been sup
pressed, and only honest men can be
elected to Office. because as soon as the
women find out that candidate is dis
honest they proceed to fight him regard
less of politics. The per cent Of women
who vote, Judge Riner says, is as large
as that of the men.

LUXURY In a bathroom.


There is lady living in town not
six hours away from New York who has
carried her enthusiasm for beauty into
her bathroom. The latter is paved with
mosaic. There is no tuba bath long
and wide is sunk to depth of Q feet or
more in a corner OF the room. This,
too, is walled with marble and paved
with mosaic. A flight Of marble steps
leads into it, and it is surrounded by
railing of bronze spindles, SO that it is
not possible to take unintentional head
ers into it in the dark. But the special
beauty of the room is on its walls.
These are sheathed with great 10 inch
square tiles, which were painted with
waves, fishes, weeds, shells and sea deni-
gems generally by one of the cleverest art
lists in America and then burned SO that
the decoration is preserved from damage
forever. This decoration extends from
the chair rail to the frieze. The frieze
itself fs also painted, but with trellis,
about which flowers and leaves are
twined. 1t is one of the loveliest bow
ers in tho country. OF course -it'cost
thousands of dollars, and few people
could attempt to repeat the idea, bat it
teaches lesson which every household
Ell should profit by. 1t shows that bath
rooms no less than drawing rooms and
boudoirs should be made Beautiful.
There are numberless ways of decorat-
ing. The same general idea that applies
to any other room in the house can be
utilized in a bathroom. York

cility of divorce. tho wife's fall posses
sion of her own and part possession Of

education in the mixed colleges for
youths and girls. So far as English
people can judge, tho American system
develops healthy tone between the
sexes and teaches the girls independ-
ence, the men consideration for women.

England and America would rise
through their women to new spiritual
