Extract From a Chicago Novel.

Spring had come, and as Gladys went
to the door gust of summer breeze,
laden with sleet and snowfakes, blew
in She shuddered little as she saw
the November rain pouring on the heap
ed up snowbanks, above which June
roses were blooming.
When evening had come and the moon
poured binding flood of mellow light
over the scene, she set out for walk
in the warm garden, her bare shoulders
cleaning through thin wrap of Span
ish lace. Yes, Reginald de Mont Courcy
was there But as she saw him she
gave shrek of horror, and with con-
vulsive gesture that threw her mantle
to the ground murmured:
"Ah, Reginald, Reginald, why are
you so rash, wearing that heavy seal
skin cap ON night so hot as this and
having nothing but thin slippers to pro-
tect your feet from the snow and ice of
the sidewalks" ?"-Chicago Record

A Little Surnrise.

There was great crowd in a railway
station, from which a train was about
to depart, and all at once man who
had put his hand i'll his undercoat
pocket to take out his pocketbook and
pay his fare exclaimed:
"I've been robbedi Some villain has
taken my pocketbook with over 9100
in it. "
"Where did you carry your pocket
book, sir?" inquired a bystander.
SIN my undercoat pocket, behind"
"Then, sir, you can scarcely blame
the individual who has taken 1t, re-
piled the other in pompous, self satis-
fed, patronizing manner, and in a voice
of warning intended for the ears of all
within hearing. Eyes, you offer, If I
may say so, a temptation, premium,
sir, upon theft, by carrying your money
in such a place. Now, l always carry
my money here" he exclaimed, putting
his hand into an inside breast pocket Of
his coat, "and there it is always
safe" he would have said, but he sud-
denly drew out his hand as if it had
been bitten by an adder and cried,
"Why, my pocketbook has gone tool"

Chioaro,s summon Girl.

She came down State street early yes
terday afternoon. 1t was the first time
anybody had seen her since the Worlds
fair closed. She was the very choicest
exhibit at the great exposition, and a
good many people made mp their minds
that when the gates of jackson park
closed she was gone forever with the
rest. But she fooled them.
Her gown was white. There were vio'
lets at her throat and roses in her cheeks.
Young men ON the corners rubbed their
eyes and gazed after her as she swept in
modest glory down the street.
'"rhere goes the summer girl" said
one incredulously TO the other.
He was right. A food Of yellow sun
shine, smell Of spring In the air and a
sustaining sense Of new spring gowns
had conspired TO hatch her chrysalis.
She was shopping and smiling and en-.
joying herself. and everybody was glad
she was still on earth.--Chicago Mail.

The TEMPLE oE AAThoR.
One of the Ancient Buildings of Egypt and
Very Well Preserved.

very wen PRESERVED.
We steamed two hours one morning
on the Nile and Gtter an early breakfast
rode ON donkeys about three miles to
the famous temple of Hathor, the Egyp-
tian Aphrodite, at Denderah This tenn
pie was built just before the Christian
era by one of the Ptolemies, and the porch
was added by Tiberius Though built
by Greek and Roman emperors, it is
essentially Egyptian in architecture and
decoration, and as it was the first of
the great temples that we had seen we
were very much impressed 1t stands on
the borders of the desert and the ver-
dant plain, surrounded by the ruins of
an old town, the debris of which, to-
gether with the blowing sands, rise sew
eral feet above it's foundations The
temple is very well preserved. Its porch,
the latest part, is noble hall, support
ed by "a columns about feet in diam
eter and 40 feet high, the capitals pre-
senting colossal faces of Hathor ON four
sides. Every foot of the surface, outside
and in, is covered with sculpture, which,
though of the period of decadence, is
still striking because of the amount of
it.
The main temple behind the porch
consists of four central chambers and
some 20 others, each of which had its
use The faces On nearly all the figures
have been mutilated by iconoclastic Mo-
hammedans or Christians On the ex-
terror of the wall in the rear, among
other figures are Cleopatra and her son
Cesarion, whose father was julius
Caesar. This representation of the IA
nous Egyptian queen, though contempo-
raneous, scarcely justifies the tradition
of her beauty Near by is small tenn
pie of Isis, and another which seems to
have had some connection with the tenn
pie of Hathor. The town of Tentyris
stood here. The Tentyrites hated the
crocodiles which the people of neighbor-
ing Ombos worshiped and religious
war of great fury was carried on be-
tween the two places. If there must be
religious wars, they may as we'll be over
crocodiles as over dogmas which nobody
knows the truth of. The ruins Of Ten
tyris are mainly of brick, baked and
unbaked The temples are of lime
stone. Some of the stones forming the
roof are "a feet long and feet wide
The whole construction is massive. In
side are traces of color which must have
greatly added to the beauty. At Den
derah we are not far from the Libyan
hills, but our course takes us away from
them toward the Arabian side as we

The young mans father had decided
that he had led life of idleness long

"How is Charley doing?"
"First rate. "

cHINA's GREAT IMPERIAL SEAL.

How Anam Under French Protection De-
stroyed Her Badge of Servitude.
Among the many unique curiosities
in NJ Jules Patenotre's s collection at the
French legation at Washington is an
imprint of the great Chinese imperial
seal. The loss of the original die which
the imprint represents was one of the
greatest disappointments in the career
of this clever diplomat. He wanted it
for his collection, but the orientals were
D little too many for him that time, and
this Is how it happened:
The French had been carrying ON the
war in Tonquin during the early part Of
1884 and finally succeeded in forcing
China to surrender her claim Of suze-
rainty over the empire Of Anam in IA
| vor Of French protectorate. All the
state documents of the Anamite up to
this period had not only borne the ma
tional seal, but likewise the imperial
seal of China, as a mark of vassalage.
When, on June 9, 1884, however, Pate
notre obtained the signature to the
treaty giving Anam over to the protec'
tion Of France, the great Chinese seal

Elephants are extremely afraid of

'Travels In Assam. - To that face he
owed the deliverance of his wife and

he was travorsing the jungle over an
exceedingly rough road through forest

howdah, with good battery of guns,
when about midday heard behind me
a general cry of alarm and hastily rode
to the scene Of danger. 1t seems that
Just after had passed, with the coolies
who cut down the jungle, a huge Muk-
ma elephant rushed from the jungle in
a terrible rage and pursued the little
baggage elephant, which was just be-
hind my wife and child. The little ele-
phant screeched and fed for it's life,
straight ahead. Fortunately pony was
led beside the palkee, which contained
my wife and child. The wild elephant
was close upon them, and they closed
their eyes in horror, expecting to be
dragged from their places and trampled
to death. At that moment the great
beast caught sight of the pony. 1t stop

to the jungle as if pursued by an evil
spirit. The men were filled with aston
