you, my son, that man is fool to let
years silence interpose between
himself and the woman he would
marry, Or to let money-or want oft
interpose. Or to think that any factor
counts-if she is worth having-but
love, honesty and true manliness.
Women who are worth winning are
won only by these"
lie drained the last drop in his glass
lovingly, as though it had been kiss
from the lips of the woman of his
thoughts. Who that woman was l
could not help wondering-and l be-
lieve he will tell me some day. For,
as l have said to you before, think
the Old Beau has story of his own.
AS we rose to go, he said last word;
"She is a darling woman. And to
have won her a man might have done
something of more worth than to live
year in tomb. We will go around
and see her some evening"

M. DE WTTE, Russian minister of
finance, and perhaps the most influen-
tial man in the empire, except The car
himself, was fifteen years ago only a
station master in a village on the rail-
road between Kleff and Odessa. lie at
that time disobeyed an order relating
to the forwarding of troops to Bulgaria,
and was able to prove to his superiors
that he had acted properly in so doing.
This attracted the attention of the
president of the road, M,Wychngradslli,
who,upon becoming minister of finance,
took the young station master with
him to st. Petersburg.

FASHION NOTES.
Hints and Suggestions Both Timely and Up
to Date.

The craze for revival of old-time
fancies extends to names as well as
things, and the present pet in Paris Is
the Maid of Orleans" There are
Jeanne dare hats, Orleans shoes and
gloves, and the heroic maidcn's suit of
armor has been represented in a toilet
of gray silk trimmed with steel span
giles.
Chatelaines hung with all sorts of
Jingling trinitets, such as miniature
TASKS, salt bottles, seals, and pencils
are to be worn again.
bridesmaids dresses of sheer plain
muslin, made over silk and trimmed
with lace inserting put in perpendicu-
larly, and deep Fittings of lace, are
pretty for June weddings With these
are worn large, girlish straw hats. An
other fancy is to have the bridesmaids
wear different colors.
Graceful sashes are made by a double
band of ribbon passed around the
waist and fastened at the back be-
meath two rosettes, with long epds
reaching to the hem.
Fancy side combs of tortoise shell or
gold, set with diamonds, are worn to
keep the hair in place. A pretty fancy
for gray hair is an outstanding comb of
Jet, which extends down at the side of
the head, graduating into the hair.
Belts of some description are an in
dispensable article of summer attire,
and they may be of ribbon, velvet or
leather A new fancy resembles chain
armor in miniature, and consists of
beads and pallettes overlapping each
other, and sewn on elastic cloth. Fancy
buckles and clasps fasten the belts in
front, and these come in every possible
variety to suit every purse. The most
durable ones, which are nice and mex
pens:ve, too, are of solid silver.
A novel way of giving dash of style
to plain covert coat is to introduce a
wide white duck collar and revers,
which are made to button on and take
off at will
White trimmings are universally
worn. and white kid is introduced with
guipure in many of the embroideries.
Evening ties for gentlemen suggest
the proximity of feminine fingers, and
look like women's butterfly bows.
Ribbons vie with laces for the favor
lite place among dress trimmings, and
all kinds of plain and fancy ribbons are
used on dresseS.-N. Y. Sun.

For the Kitchen Floor.

If your kitchen or any other floor
that you do not wish to carpet shows
unsightly cracks try the following re-
cipe for them: One pound of flour,
three quarts of water and a teaspoon
full of alum and make paste of them,
cooking well together. After remov-
ing from the stove stir it into a lot of
paper that is torn in small pieces and
let it soak, stirring as much as you can.
The paper should be stirred until it is
all in pulp and the mass is so thick
that it is difficult to stir any longer.
Apply it to the cracks--be sure the
floor is freshly cleaned first-and force
It in, smoothing it off even with the
surface. Leave it to dry thoroughly,
and you will find that it isnore lasting
and 4 great deal cheaper than putty.
This can be painted right over as
though it were wood.-rittshurgh Dis

to be placed-after being thoroughly
embalmed- his face up. glass
/, lid was to be over him, and the whole
to be sealed tightly, so as to be i'm.
pervious to the air In this, the old
fellow rightly guessed, he would keep
long while.
Now, here was his plan for finding
how far this nephew would go for his
money. The will provided that he
should live in this tomb for year.
There was plenty of room. He was to
live there--day and night. His food
would be brought him. He was to be
allowed books and writing stuffs. For
an hour before sunrise each morning,
and for an hour after sunset each
night, he could walk abroad. But he
must have no communication with any
human being. If he faithfully OBJ
served these PROVISIONS for year, he
should have the money, otherwise, it
would go to the girl. Now sensible
man would have done one of three
things First, he would have given
up the money; second, he would have
sought out the girl and married her;
third, he would have contested the
will.
Richardson did none of these, but
set himself to earn the money"
The Beau paused SO long at this
point that finally asked:
"Did he succeed?"
AYE. But 1t was strange thing to
name success. He stayed in the tomb
for year. What that year was no
man will ever know. If you have a
spark of imagination in you, you can
guess little at his thoughts in those
long hours. / only know this: when
he came out, and into the world once
more, his look was that of dead man.
Men kept away from him. Women
turned their faces from him when they
met him in the street. Children ran
shrieking when they saw him. 1t is
not quite so bad now Association
with living beings has begun to have a
humanizing effect. But it has been
many years now. / fancy he has paid
rather dearly for the money"
"And the rest of the story?" said,
seeing that my friend was apparently
forgetting the finish.
"0h, yes!" he replied. "Now here is
the curious part of it. 1t seems that
Richardson had been in love with the
girl all the while. But he thought he
would stand no chance If she had the
money and he had none. So he deter
mined to secure the money and then
offer himself and it."
"And did hep"
The Old Beau laughed long and 81
lently.

he came out of the tomb, she was mar
ried to her hearts true love. And LEI

and his manner impressive, ''let me tel

THE death of Lord Chief Justice
Coleridge few days ago makes peer
of his oldest son and heir and probably
ends what would otherwise be sue
cessful professional career. Mr.. l}er-
nard Coleridge is a rising lawyer with
an excellent practice, which he will
now be compelled to abandon to be-
come member of the house of lords.
The income of his late fathers estate
Is said to be less than $4,000 year,
and as this is utterly inadequate to
maintain the dignity and rank of a
peer the new Lord Coleridge may have
reason to regret his social promo
tion.

hours, while no longer than from three

NEW YORK, Feb. 10.
Ta-days market was dull and without signif-
canoe. except as rejecting by the steadness of
values, and the absolute scarcity of offerings of
stocks. The bank statement was also about
what was expected from the operations on ac-
count of the new government per cent. bond
loan. anu Notwithstanding the heavy loss in re-
serves the surplus still remains at the enormous
figure. SS5, 100000 The bond issue has been
financed without the slightest friction in the
money market and the gold reserve in the treas
ury has once again been restored above $780,
600, 900. The stronger position of the treasury
adds to confidence il the government currency.
and the Objectionable. silver legislation now be-
ing discussed in Congress is not likely TO re-
ceiye the Presidents signature evenif The seig-
norage bill should pass both houses. 1t would
be gratifying to be able to note as strong fea-
lures in the general situation as now exists in
the financial situation. The extreme depres-
sion i'll cereals, however is unfortunate for the
prosperity of the agricultural sections and must
tend to restrict business besides lessening the
power of railroads to secure profitable rates.
Somewhat less satisfactory reports are made
this week by the mercantile agencies, but the
tendency of trade still seems to be upward. The
complications of the silver question in India are
not favorable in themselves, but they no longer
affect this country as they might have done if
the silver purchase not been repealed. An .tln-
fortunate phase of the speculation is the utter
absence of outside interest and in view of the
unsettled state of legislative matters it would be
premature to expect a sustained movement in
values. But serious depression is impossible
so long as holders tenaciously cling to their.
stocks, and with a large short interest outstand-
ing it appears to us that while conditions re-
main unsettled it will be safe to buy on the bear
raids.
