Mrs. johnson, who is widely known
both in Connecticut and New York on ac-
count OF the elegance and splendor in
which she lives, Is the mother of Capt.

She is everywhere known in Connect.
cut as Mrs. Diamond Johnson" on ac-
count Of her extraordinary fancy for and
collection OF those gems. She rarely APP
pears in public with less than from IS, 600
TO SIS, 900 worth Of diamonds on her per-
son. She wears them in her ears, on her
fingers, on her wrists, In her bair, on her
arms, in her corsage, and her rooms at
home glitter with diamonds, displayed in
bric-a-brac in curious designs and pieces
of furniture.
Her most remarkable diamond device,
perhaps, is that of her name, "Mary T.
Johnson" spelled out in a circlet of dia-
monds about the dial of the tall 'Grand-
fathers clock" in her palatial parlor.
Mrs. johnson is a woman of strong In.
dividuality, and aside from her princeIv
way of living is as democratic in senti-
ment and ways as she is kind hearted and
charitable
1t was only recently that she conceived
the idea of marking her burial lot in YAM
tic cemetery, at Norwich, with a memo
rial structureithat should be a wonder OF
the sculptors art.
The monument itself is 10 be of blue
granite, while the statue surrounding 1t.
together with two figures on the sides, is
TO be of white stone. As the granite
works firm describe IL:
There are four corners, each having a
cluster Of three columns, handsomely
carved. On these columns rest the pedes-
tai which supports the figures The base
of this pedestal is carved in frieze. The
figures represent Faith, Hope and Charity.
The centre one is that of Charity. The
hight of the monument is twenty-five feet
from the bottom to the top OF the figure
Charity. The design of the whole was
brought from Paris by 4. K johnson,
Mrs. Johnson's son. The figures are ali
made in clay first, and after being APP
proved by Mrs. johnson are cut in gran
tie. IL will take two years TO complete
the monument from the time work on it
is begun"

bid for power in the unseen world as auy

These facts are not, it is true, recorded
in the official gazette; but there are a
dozen newspapers in France, Russia and
America which do record them. Il is
curious, however, that while western
nations vie with those of the east in su-
perstitions of the most degrading type.
they let their thoughts dwell always on
the influence of the dead on the living.

which apparently have no turning. BY
SOME mischance we found that we were
in the midst of a funeral train, and that
our carriage had separated the cortege
Just behind the coaches with the chief
mourners. OF course those ahead Of US
knew nothing of our presence, and it was
simply impossible TO pass; so step BY step
we were obliged to follow the hearse in
our open carriage. our garish costumes
and painted faces looking CHASTITY enough
in the broad daylight At last we came
to an open common near n small village
where we were able TO turn out of the dis
NAL procession and drive rapidly away.

perience. and being Just a little supersti-
tious. I was made uncomfortable by the

The following points as to how to pick
husband have been going the rounds of
the press: For a mans birth look to
his linen and finger nails, and observe the
infections of his voice. For his taste
study the color of his tie, the pattern and
the hang Of his trousers, his friends and
his rings, if any. For his propensities
walk round and look carefully at the back
of his head, and remember, girls, never
to marry a man whose neck bulges ever
so little over his collar. If YOU want a
successful man, see that he is neat in his
attire, and that he has a neat foot he
will move quicker and get over obstacles
faster than man who falls over his own
toes, and trips up other folks with them,
too. For his breeding, talk sentiment to
him-when he is starving. aud ask him
TO carry a bandbox down the public
street, when you've just had a row To
test his temper, tell him his nose Is a lit
tie on one side, and you don't like the way
his hair grows if that don't fetch
him nothing will.@

ANTS BIGGER THAN FOXES.
Pllny Could Discount Ananias Tn the Art
 of Drawing the Long Bow.


 Pliny. that rare old gossiper. tells. among other extraordinary stories, that of the Bactrian method of obtaining gold The sandy deserts of Bactria in the days of that historian were, so the old man says, literally swarming with ants slightly bigger than foxes" These gigantic representatives of the genus homenoptera burrowed deeply into the sandy wastes, their tunnels and galleries often being hundreds of feet in extent. The earth removed ried to the out side and thrown up in hills (remember Pliny says this) 'sof a biRness exceeding that of palace" This debris-sand, earth, etc.-was soon found to be wonderfully rich in small nuggets of gold. The danger from the ants was greater, however, than that from the Indians in the early days of gold digging in the western United States, and many stories are told of men who were literally devoured in a few moments by the fierce owners of some disturbed burrow. Some observ- ing old hunter at last discovered that the giant ants slept during the hottest hours of the day. After that the seek CTS after the yellow metal only made their incursions at the proper time. and then they only stayed long enough in the deserts to fill their sacks with the golden sand, which they took homo to sift at leisure. With all this pre- caution the ants often swiftly pur- sued the fieetest horses, and it was only by using various stratagems that the invaders managed to escape alive" Chicago Tribune.

 The Waldensian church is peculiar in this: it is practically two churches, though nominally one. The one is the Church of the Valleys. the original church among the mountains, where the blood of the martyrs flowed so freely, and the other is the mission field, the rest of the kingdom of Italy, in which the mission churches are. The remarkable fact is that the or dained pastors in the mission churches outside the valleys are more than thrice as numerous as those within them. The mission part is becoming the great body of the church. A cor responding change of organization is about to be made.-United Presby- terian.
