Concerning marvellous Musician.

From his earliest childhood Ole
Bull was exceedingly sensitive to mu-
sic. His uncle who belonged to q
quartet club, used, when playing on
the violoncello, to put the little fellow
in the empty case, and keep him there
until his nervous excitement made it
impossible for him to remain. In
spite of this excitement, he narrowly
observed all that the players did; he
knew the,sounds of the notes long be-
fore he could name them, and when
at the age of five his uncle made him the
proud possessor of little scrap OF
violin-which he received with kisses
and embraces every ones amaze
ment, he played upon it at once with
remarkable correctness.
His next violin was given to him,
at his earnest solicitation, two or three
years afterward, by his father. He
could not sleep for thinking OF 1t.
When he heard his father and mother
drawing the deep breath of sleep, he
rose and lighted candle, and tiptoed
to the room where the dear violin lay,
in order to open the case for one de-
lighted look. ssThe violin was so red, :
said he, as Mrs. Childs reported, ssand
the pretty pearl screws did smile at
me So pinched the strings, just q
little with my fingers. 1t smiled at me
ever more and more. / took up the
bow and looked at it. 1t said to me
that it would be pleasant to try 1t
across the strings. So I did try it
just very, very little. And it did
sing to me SO sweetlyl Then | did
creep farther away from the bedroom.
AT first did play very soft. I make
very, very little noise. But presently
l did begin capriccio which | like
very much; and it did grow ever
louder; and forgot it was midnight
and everybody asleep. Presently l
hear something go crack! And the
next minute I feel my fathers whip
across my shoulders. My little red
violin dropped on the floor and was
broken. I weep much for it; but it
no good. They did have doctor for
it next day, but it never recovered its
health"
His father had meant that he should
be clergyman, and in due time the
boy was placed at the University of
Gottingen. But it was quite useless
study or not, music would get the
upper hand. -[From Harper'sW Weekly.

THE LATEST co1rruREs.

Speaking of the coiffures worn by
the noble danes and maidens at the re-
cent entertainment in honor of the
Duchess of York, the London Queen
says:
sIn nearly every case the front was
arranged in, and there is great dis
position among fashionable women to
form curls, a decided point in the CEN
tire of the front, pretty and becom-
ing style. Anything like an untidy
fringe is not tolerated in good So
ciety, but the Princess of Wales and
Princess May wore small curls close
set together, forming somewhat high
fringe over the temples, while the
Princess of Wales on the day of the
wedding had somewhat low, soft coil at
the back, the bride having small, close
curls, like marteaux, placed somewhat
higher on the head.
s'All kinds of twists and soft curls
are introduced according to the orna-
ments required to be worn, and it
seems that, while for day wear it is
necessary to understand the art of
twisting a long coil Of hair into a
double knot utterly inexplicable by
words, in the evening the hair-dress-
er's art lies chiefly in frizzng ends OF
hair lightly and twisting them with
skill SO as to fill every intertice. Some
of the smart hair-dressers have brought
out the 1880 style Of hairdressing.
with up landing loops of hair in front,
which have found favor with certain
ultra Questionable women, but not with
the world in general, though certainly
the hair is dressed higher at the back
IN the evening than in the day time. 2

FASHION NOTES.

Black guipure lace was never more
popular than it is to-day.
Entire gowns of white null or of
figured organdie are worn, trimmed
with insertions and founces of Valen-
ciennes lace.
The Infanta vail is a square yard OF
gauzy unfgured vailing, which is
thrown over the hat and arranged in
loose folds at the back.
The fashion for high shoulders is
rapidly passing away, and with it one
of the chief elements of smartness
known to woman's dress.
The large sleeve is doomed. Those
Of simple coat shape, with slight full
ness on the shoulder, and the Garibal-
di shape will presently occupy our at
tention.
Perfectly plain skirts are still fash
ionable, and are generally worn by the
best-dressed women, as they are usual
ly of handsome materials that need no
garniture.
Very pretty, and at the same time
simple and inexpensive, daisy bed
spreads are made of Swiss muslin, COW
cred with large polka dots the size Of
daisy centers.
The prettiest scarf mantelets are made
of accordion-plaited black silk muslin,
with long stole fronts, confined with
Jet buckle. The large ruffies oflace,
tulle, or mousseline, called Henry II,
are also made to do duty with outdoor
toilets on summer evenings.
One Of the most stylish, simple cos
tunes of the season is made Of blue
denim, with trimming Of thick blue
braid. It is made with skirt and jack
ct and silk blouse, or high-cut vest
is worn with it. It is strictly tailor
made, and as stylish as tits unusual.
Lace capes are never more popular
than at present, almost every importa-
ton showing quantities Of them.
Some are made entirely Of lace, others
of lace and satin, while some are
Combinations Of lace, passementerie,
and embroidery. with ribbon in enor-
nous quantities.
Strings promise to be used more
generally than during the summer.

AWAITS MRS. DAVIS SANCTION.

Arrangements for Removing Her Hus-
bands Remains to Richmond.
RICHMOND, Feb. 6.-The plan of pro.
cedure for the removal hither from
New Orleans Of the rem aims of the Ion.
Jefferson Davis only awaits the sanction
Of Mrs. Davis as to the date. Tho monu-
ment associa ton fixed upon Hollywood
Memorial day May 30, because that is q
general holiday here, and is q day al
ways sacrcdly observed in memory OF
the 1900 dead Confederates who arc
inferred in that came terry. Some day
in the fall of the year would have been
preferred by the association, but it was
informed that the private soldiers and
sailors monument would then be un.
yelled, and it, therefore, concluded that
If MIR. Davis remains were not trans.
ferred to Richmond this spring circum-
stances would require years postpone
ment. So, upon the approval by Mrs
Davis of the date fixed, all arrange
ments for the removal and reinforcement
will be made by the Davis Monument
Association of Richmond, since Mrs
Davis long ago announced that it was
her wish that the permanent sepulture
should be in this city.
Hollywood cemetery is on the banks
of tho James river, on the western bor-
der OF Richmond. 1t contains about So
acres of land, beautifully diversified in
hill and dale. In it arc buried Presi-
dent Monroe and President Tyler and
John Randolph of Roanoke. Extra
Billy Smith and Henry A. Wise, both
of whom were governors OF the State
and generals in the Confederate Army;
Commodore f. M. Maury, Confederate
Secretary of War James A. Seldom. and
Generals George Il. Pickett, j. E. b.
Stuart and numerous other celebrities.
The section secured for Mr.. Davis bur-
ial will include space enough for the
graves Of his whole family, as it is Mrs.
Davis wish when her life is ended to be
buried at her husbands side, and that
the body of her little son Joe, who met
| his death by accident in Richmond
| during the war, and which now lies in
another part OF Hollywood, Shall be

Hospital for Dogs.

A hospital for dogs, said to be the
most complete of its kind in the world,
was formally opened in Philadelphia
recently, DIR. Furness making an elab-
crate address on the occasion The
building covers an area of 65x50 feet,
andis two stories high, with base
ment, which contains the kitchen. On
the first floor is IL clinic room opening
into 4 larger room, IN which dogs af-
fectcd with noncontagious diseases will
be treated. On opposite sides of this
are wards for dist.mper and mango.
On the second floor are four rooms
which will probably be used rs labora-
tories for original research in veterin-
airy medicine. All the rooms are fitted
with complete heating and vcntilating
apparatus, and they will be lighted by
electricity, while electric fans will reg
ulatc the temperature. There will be
baths for the dogs, and the animals will
be kept in iron cages on wheels. The
building is of Roman brick with pcb-
bic dashing and rcdstonc trimming and
with Il roof of unfading green slate

The peasants of the Russian village
of Jagodziata, in Lithuania, wrcaked
their vengeance on a suspected horse
thief recently by setting fire to his
dwelling during the night while he, his
wife, mother and family of five chill
drcn were within, and burning the
whole family to death. The peasants
stood around the hut and when the in
mates rushed out they were thrust
back into the burning house with pitch
forks and scythcs. One of the women
was murdered outright in the attempt
to force her back into The flames. The
peasants gave themselves up 10 the
Russian police and will most probably
be imprisoned for Il year and then cx-
lied to another part of the country

OTHER-WORLD HAeITATION.
An English Preacher Discusses Probable
ties ms to Mercury, Venus and Mars.

An English Preacher Discusses Probablli-
ties as to Mercury, Venus and Mars.
Rev. DR.. Dallingcr delivered n lecture
at Bristol the other night on the planets
around lis and their probable habitabil-
ity, says the Pail Mall Budget Speak
ing of Mercury, DR.. Dallingcr pointed
out its chief features and showed that
they approximatcd to those of the
earth. Although the heat from the sun
there was more intense, it might be
tempered by the character of the atmos-
phere. Venus was yet more akin to
our world in every respect, SO that lifo
there, as we know it, was yet more pos
sible. The conditions of the atmos-
phere, indeed, were such that the whole
globe might be habitable. Mars next
came under review, the lecturer ex-
planning its character, substance, at
mospherc and other features, which, he
said, made the existence of creatures, if
not man, quite possible. People were
slowly losing their former notions that
there were nothing and nobody in the
universe except the world and man.
There were other worlds, however,
which, as far as human intelligence
could Judge, were not yet suitable for
habitation, but were gradually assum-
ing conditions which might ultimately
make life possible. The lecturer held
the opinion that many years hence
some means of mental communication
with the denizens of the other planets
might be established. In the present
days of marvellous discoveries in science
all things seemed possible, and the cstab-
lishment of intercommunication of
some kind between this earth and the
beings of the planets did not seem more
improbable or impossible than the send
ing of telegraph message from Eng
land to New York seemed one hundred
years ago.

ANNEXATION.

This is the century Of territorial ag
grandizement and absorption. The
seventeenth and eighteenth centuries
saw mighty sovereigntles dismembered,
and on their ruins petty Kingdoms,
dukedoms, principalities and feudalities
held precarious existence. Then the
pendulum swung back. The improve
ments in firearms changed the tactics of
warfare and the Napoleonic dynasty
changed the face of Europe. England
tightened her hold on India and began
stretching her tentacles in every quar-
ter of the globe to Offset her loss of the
American colonies.
The United States acquired Florida
and Louisiana. Texas and the Pacific
Slope then fell to our lot, making us
next to Russia the largest compact
nation on the globe. In Europe Aus
tria solidifed, Cavour and Garibaldi
made a united Italy, Bismarck created
the German empire, Russia strobe in
seven-league boots toward the frontiers
Of Turkey, Persia, India and China.
In South America the Spanish prov
inces shook off the yoke Of the mother
country and stood erect. But elsewhere
the land hunger of nations pressed On.
Africa has been divided among tho ma
tions. Germany and England have par.
celled out the islands of the Pacific.
America alone has held her hand. Since
the Alaska purchase the United States
has added not foot to its sovereignty
The record of annexation and lnde-
pendence is:
l77G. Independence.
1903. Louisiana.
1920. Florida.
1s45. Texas.
1867. Alaska.
Already q quarter of century has
passed since Stewards notable achieve
ment. 1t is time for another assertion
of American destiny, the mastery of
land and sea. The Hawaiian Islands
are pleading for annexation. 1t re-
mains for another Democratic presi-
dent to add another star to Columbia's
crown.
And then the next European convul-
sion in which England participates will
throw Canada into our lap, coy but will
ling, and only Cuba will be lacking to
round out Americas coast line to gym
metrical whole.

REIGN OF KING COTTON.
Why 1t Eccamc supreme In tho South
Immediately After tho War.

Promising as was the industrial adj
vance of the south prior to the war it
WAS in It's agriculture that the chief lit
tcrcstS OF the people We're conferred,
says the Engineering Magazine. Here
was displayed IN energy as great as
that which opened up to civilization
the vast prairiCS OF the west; here was
n wcll-roundcd growth which neither
the south nor any other part of the
country has boon able to duplicate since
The war. Cotton WAS indeed king, but
it was not such an absolute monarch as
it has been since 1860 nor as grain has
beer, in the west. Instead of being the
main crop Of the south it was largely Il
surplus crop. The south did not then
have its ''smolichousc ana corn crib in
the wcst''-this was one of the disasters
Of the war-but it produced it's own
corn, wheat and bacon. The war
changed these conditions. 1t left such
universal poverty that men were com
PEELED to grow cotton alone. because the
crop would bc nortgagcd before it was
planted for enough ut least to secure Il
bare living for the planter while he
waited for it to mature. On no other
crop could advances be secured in this

and turned over to the merchant who had
been ''carrying' him, and out of its
proceeds the debt for goods bought on
Notwithstanding interest and commits
sions-had been paid, the farmer had
nothing left. AS the next season came
around he was again compelled to mort
gage his crop in advance to the man to
whom he was already in debt. 1t was
"a condition and not Il theory" that con-
frontcd the farmers of the south and
necessarily ii has taken Years for them
to gradually work out of it. Moreover,
the negroes. ''intoXicated with free
dom" had many hard lessons to learn.
While they had nothing III the world on
which to start, they were financially
about as well off as their late master,
for, ut least they had no debts to in
cumbcr them for years to come Cotton
was the easiest crop for them to cult
vatc, and 50 they all began to grow cot
ton, buying western corn and bacon on
credit from the merchant who had n
mortgage on the cotton before the
ground was plowcd for its planting
Working on sharcs-that is, paying n
part of the crop for the rent of the land
they cultivatcd-and moving about fire.
| qucntly, they had no induccment to try
| to improve the soil. SO, while the ag-
grcgatc acreage annually increased, the
total production of the souths crops
fell far short of the yield per capita be-
| tween 1850 and 1860

Five Persons Bitten at Chicago.
LEAvENwoRTH, Kan, Feb. 6.-Her-
man Lang, a young farmer living close
to Leavenworth died last night from
hydrophobia, after suffering intense
agony for twenty-four hours. He was
bitten by rabid dog last August and
had maidstone applied, which adhered
several times, and a physician pro-
nounced the poison eradicated from his
system. On attempting to drink water
Thursday night he was thrown into
commissions, which occurred in rapid
succession until his death.
Before dying Lang showed the worst
form OF rabies and had to be restrained
from biting any one near him.
