We'll Guarded Relics.

There are certain articles in the National museum which no thief, however clever, could steal without raising a wild cry of alarm and calling around him a cordon of vatchmen. The more valuable articles are skilfully connected with burglar alarms which cannot be touched without ringing loud bell. The Grant collection is protected in this manner. Underneath the shelves on which the swords, shoulder straps, coins, medals and other trophies of the distinguished general arc placed runs 6 network of wires. If any article is moved or If the door of the case in which they are exhibited be opened, 1t will be known immediately In the office of the su- perintendent of the building and the exact location of the invasion noted on an cleo tric board. This protection is placed over all the articles which can have much at traction for the lgkt-fngered, or which could readily be disposed of for money If stolen.
 At night the museum building is burglar proof. If any robber should set foot with in its precincts, he would make the biggest mistake of his life. Not only do the guards patrol the halls go systematically that Il would be almost next to impossible to es cape their vigilance, but on every door and window there is little contrivsnce so thsi | if 1t be opened unlsxfully, an alarm VII ring and call the attention of the officer to the intrusion. The floors of the vas | building are threaded with 6 network O
 burglar-wires. 80 that by night as we'll & 1 by day the large and valuable collection

with a full cape edged all around with deep lambs' wool. The cape was split from hem to collar in the back just as in front. The wee bonnet fitted close about the dearest little proud face, 1t was heavy silk over an interlining and was edged about the face with swans down. In her hands or, more accurately, in her arms she carried @ huff, big enough for her mother to have struggled with and made of the long white fleece. A dain- tier picture of pstrician comfort no one ever saw.
 The party dresses for misses just coming into their teens are shown herewith. The left hand one Is pale blue crepe and trimmed with white lace insertion put over dark blue ribbon, and the other Is In pink satin draped with the same shade of illusion. The skirt of the former Is unltned, but Is worn over a separate skirt of pale blus scooTdeon plested satin ssd gsrnished with a plested ruffia. The ribbon bands are fastened to the skirt with small invisible stitches and commence at the waist, where both ekirts can be joined If desired. The fitted lining of the bodice is covered with sccordeon plested crepe and the latter Is trimmed like the nAiIt- 4ne sleeves nave mOderately wide puffs made of straight breadths of goods and are gathered into q cuff made of alter nate tucked crepe stripes and lace covered ribbon. The epsulettes are of the same material and are lined with pale blue satin and finished with a narrow pleated frill. In the second costume the skirt Is bell shaped, and the lower one is trimmed with a satin flouncs and the illusion with three gathered ruffies of the same. Both skirts are gathered separately so as to avoid stiffening of the folds. The bodice has fitted lining and is covered blouse fashion with illusion that Is drawn up and held in place by 6 ribbon belt under the arms. The square decolette Is finished by lace frill put on with small head, and the tiny sleeves are full puffs with lace ep- aulettes. The bodice is edged around the bottom with pale blue satin ribbon tying in full bow at the sides. FLoRETTE.

CoNsIDERATE LOVE.

Love Is often, or usually, very inconsid- crate, and the more real and fervsnt 1t Is tue more inconsiderate it Is apt to be. His tory is thickly dotted with stories of incon- siderate love. Eve loved Adam, but be- cause she couldn't be considerste in her love Adam had to go to work. Cleopatra loved Antony, and Antony loved her, but their incensiderate- ness brought him to such a pass that he felt obliged to fall on his sword and let his blooming life out, and she was left to be snubbed by Octovianus and slain by an unromantic and business like asp. Helen of Troy WAS inconsiderate in her love, and heap of trouble she made. In later times down to our own days famous men and women lovers have shown 8 painful and harmful inconsiderateness. They have broken each others hearts and as many the tragedy, killed themselves, killed each other, or somebody else, and in other ways made queer work. And in our own time, when each days history is daily put before us in the newspapers, we see that the in considersteness of lovers is one of the most regular, strange and sad phenomena. The least harm lovers seem to feel obliged to do each other Is to marry each other, and often they are not contented with that, but must kill each other in brutal or ingenious ways.
 Such being the state of affairs, and such being the general inconsiderateness of love and lovers, it is 8 relief to come across sn incident which shows what love may be when 1t lofes its quality of inconsiderate- ness and becomes the kindly and self forgetful thing it should be. And this incident didn't happen in London, New York or Paris, where civilization has reached high point ,or even in New Haven, where human excellence has culminsted In Society. It was away out in Mount Vernon, Washington territory. And the hero of it was not one of the great ones of earth or even of Washington territory. He was simple farmer, and his name was Johnson. He would probably never have been heard of but for the fact that propin, quity to neighbours daughter bred love ir | him. Unfortunately her propInquity tc Farmer Johnson didn't breed love in her which shows that a general statement ever when made by Cicero must be carefully examined before 1t Is unqualifedly ac cepted. It appears that Farmer Johnson'i | love had It's considerateness clouded for 6
 brief season, for he asked the young wo
 man to marry him. She said no, and then
 the true quality of his love shone out witi
 startling brightness. He went home, mad
 a will leaving the young woman all hi
 property and then shot himself dead.
 How much better this was than 1t woul'
 have been for Farmer Johnson to let hi love be inconsiderate and move him to kill
 the young woman. He has shown that h
 loved her, and he has given her his prop
 erty. She didn't want him, but she cal
 probably make some use of his goods an
 chattels. She has had remarkable expe
 rience and one which she can look bac
 upon with pride. It is given to many t
 be loved, but 1t is not given to many to h l considerably loved.

MODERN GRERCE.


 Greece, once "the land of scholars and the nurse of arms," long ago lost both her literary and her warlike quality, and Is now in the pawnshop. It is almost i'm possible that her people should ever pay of the debt owing, and that debt is being ma terially increased every year. For the last ten years the finance ministers have had nothing to think of but consolidating, re- arranging and issuing loans. The little country has a good ruler so far as kings go, but he costs altogether too much. His civil list amounts to over $200, 900 annual ly, exclusive of the annuity of $40,0O0 granted to the heir apparent There are also the former King Otho's heirs to be reckoned with, at the rate of four per cent. on a capital debt of 2,55s, ,250 drachmas. Thus the country pays over 8 quarter of million dol lars yearly, or nearly one per cent. of It's whole income, to support its king. The total debt is now over 0,000, 900 drachmas, or above $150, ,OOO, 900. Of this four -6fths Is funded and the rest floating. The annual interest charges amount to over thirty million drachmas or six mil lion dollars. In the ordinary finances of the government the balance Is always on the side of the public expenditure. A few years ago the expenditure was twice the revenue. At present the income Is some what larger, but not large enough in addi- ton to pay the interest on the general in- debtedness.
 There are about 2, 300, 900 inhabitants of the country, and most of them are said to be Bosotians without even Beotian cour- age. The history of Greece Is a startling illustration of what can happen In this world. It is hard to think of an Athens without art or wisdom and Sparta with out vslor.
