miners came out of the mines here they
were met near the premises Of the coal

language was not effective. Over $50 coal
fats were loaded, half of which was slack

made to stop the latter work, but the
strikers were given to understand that
they must keep their distance off. Trouble
of a serious nature is expected when the
men try to 60 to work again. The city is
billed with a notice for miners mass

A fair resident of Norwood Park was
recently presented with an opera glass,
and one evening when the moon was at
the full she took peep at it through
the glass Just for fun She looked a
moment, rubbed her eyes and looked
again.
"Why, how curious" she exclaimed.
There are two lovely faces i'll the moon
tonight
Nonsense" said her companion. But
she insisted she saw them, and after de-
scribing their location handed the glass
to her friend. She saw them at once
and was enthusiastic over their beauty.
The following night dozen glasses
were brought to bear by neighbors, who
had been told of the discovery, and the
whole village was soon singing the
praises Of the celestial beauties.
The news was brought into the city
by one of the suburbanites, and an en-
tire neighborhood on the North Side sat
up late to see the beauties. Any on
with an ordinary opera glass may SEE
the faces. One is partially hidden by
the other, but both are very sweet.
The professor" who is supposed TO
be on speaking terms with all the celes-
tial celebrities, was asked what he
thought about the discovery. He said
he believed that the discovery was first
made good many years ago, but that
it attracted no attention in the scientific
world. But then the professor has no
sentiment in his soul and doesn't like
women. Chicago Tribune.

done noteworthy thing which Is likely
to bring her considerable fame. The
state department possesses a remarkably
fine portrait of the late John {, Calhoun,
which has been added to the collection
of pictures of secretaries of state in the
great reception room at the state depart
ment. The painter is Mrs. A. c. Bar
ney, whose name is just now prominent
in the annals of social life at Bar Har-
Dor. Mrs. Barney is very rich woman
who inhabits a beautiful residence on
Rhode Island avenue. She is daugh-
ter of the Cincinnati millionaire Pike,
whose name became famous in connec-
ton with the opera house in the big
Ohio city. There are now some thirty
portraits in the collection, and some of
the best known portrait painters in the
country, such as Huntington and Hinck-
ley, are represented there. Mrs. Bar
ney's Calhoun challenges comparison
with the best pictures in the collection.

Mnrld,. rnlr norticulture.

Recent issues of German horticultural
journals report wide and active interest
in the proposed displays at the Chicago
Worlds fair. Meetings called in vat1-
ous places to awaken such interest ana
make practical arrangements for con
tributing have been largely attended,
and at one held in Berlin, where not
only local horticulturists but also those
from distant towns were present, almost
every person announced his intention of
exhibiting. At this meeting the govern
meut grant of 10000 marks for the as
distance of exhibitors was voted far too
small to cover needful expenses, as these
would involve, for example, the imme-
diate dispatch of an agent to remain III
Chicago until the close of the exhibition,
and it was therefore decided that all
expenses in excess of this grant should
be shared between the exhibitors.
Since last January committee has
been actively at work in Hamburg; the
contributions from this place will be
particularly numerous, and a special
trade exhibition has been arranged fol
the month of September, At one time
German exhibitors were discouraged by
report that certain American firms
had threatened by letter to withdraw
their patronage from German firms
should these exhibit at Chicago, but Mr..
Mason, our consul at Frankfort, has
now made public a telegram received
from the director of the horticultural
section in Chicago which declares that
there is mo truth i'll the rumor of boy
colt and has promised to investigate
the sources of the rumor, and to recon
mend that if such threats have indeed
been made those who made them shall
themselves be excluded from the eN
hibition. Such punishment would be
none too great for conduct of so selfish
shortsighted and disloyal a sort, but We
cannot believe that any American hort
culturist has indeed been guilty of this
conduct.-Garden and Forest.

Treatment of Nervous Girls.


The annual meeting of the American
Social Science association was addressed
on Tuesday by DIR. Louise F. Bryson, Of
New York, on the nature of special edu-
cation in the treatment Of pervous Pirls-
To her mind shorter school hours, more
time in the open air, more housework
and accomplishments requiring bodily
activity. perfect manners and attention
to neatness and conventionality III dress,
the study of objects close at hand, IA
miliaritv with the recorded thought of
mankind and knowledge of the princi-
pies that underlie the social condition,
the government and practical politics,
together with strict regard to bodily
health and sufficient rest, are some Of
the elements necessary to the happiness
and efficiency of the nervously weak.
This is something different from the
ordinary therapeutic treatment of nerv-
Gus diseases. and yet much of 1t will
strike thoughtful persons as being thor
oughly practical and consistent with the
dictates Of common sense. Introspec-
ton, romanCing and the lack of will
power are not to be cured by petting and
sedatives. When the hands or the mind
are judicionsly employed there Is little
chance for the NERVES" to assert them
selves. -SaratOga Letter.

The scarlet Powered horse chestnut
(Esculus rubicunda) has Powered IN
usually well this season, and it is I'M
questionably one Of the handsomest Of
our rather limited number of Towering
trees. Being of small growth, rarely
exceeding twenty-six feet in height, it is
peculiarly suitable for planting where
ground spaceis rather limited and where
one has to be careful in choosing trees
of small and compact growth.
The chestnut has most telling effect
when placed in front of taller growing
trees, and for this reason it has been
largely employed for ornamenting the
margins of woods and plantations, but
particularly such as are visible from
park roads and drives. The beautiful
scarlet flowers, produced in great abun-
dance at the branch tips, are very con
spicuous against the dark green leaves.

An Author and Her Book.

You have heard of Emile Edwards,
the Young woman who has written a
novel. She halls from Boston, although
she is claimed by Chicago. A good deal
has been said about her book-that is, if
any one can say anything about book
which is not yet on the market. An in
ouiry was made about it the other day of a
newsman, and he told why it was not yet
on sale 1t seems that Miss Edwards is a
Young lady with fastidious taste as to
color, designs, etc. The newsman said
that it had been difficult matter for
the young lady to be suited in the mat
ter of design for the cover of the novel
Several artists of ability had sub
mitted designs, but they had been re-
iected by the authoress. Sometimes the
design would please, but the coloring
was not up to her Bostonian idea. 1t
had been the notion heretofore that the
contents of book were to be the test Of
the article, and the author has left the
cover to the publisher. Miss Edwards
will insist on cover to suit her taste, or
the book won't be put out.-Chicago

Mrs. George william Curtis.

Students of Lowell's life have found
in his great love for Maria White and
his happy marriage, with that lady the
secret of his deepening purpose and his
devotion to the antislavery cause. Late
in 1856 Mr.. Curtis was married to Anna
Shaw, and ]. G. Fremont was at the
wedding. Mr.. Curtis had lust done his
best Ion him IN The presidential CAM
paign, but the Quakers had not come
out, and he could only lend to Mr.. Cur
it's nuptials the ornament of defeated
general, still picturesque, as he had al
ways been, and little more. But the CO.
incidence of Mr.. Curtis political begin
ming with his marriage is too obvious
not to suggest a wonder whether here
also was not a propter hoe.
Certain it is that his wife, daughter
of F. c. and Sarah B. Shaw, and sister
of Colonel r. G. Shaw, who was buried
with his niggers" at Fort Wagner, and
of Josephine, who married Colonel G,
R. Lowell, of like glorious fame, was Of
a stock and parentage so earnest and so
philanthropic and was so true to all
their inspirations that Mr.. Curtis may
well have found some frightening of
his aims in his new life and love and in
the new associations that now touched
his spirit From that time onward the
antislavery conflict became more en-
crossing to his mind and heart and en-
tered more largely into his public utter

In her Washington Kate Field says
that the Borden murder case becomes
more and more mysterious and full of
tragic interest. Innocent or guilty, the
heroine of the tale is one of the most eX-
traordinary women in the history of all
criminal trials. 1t is impossible to say
which hypothesis presents her in the
most remarkable light-the theory that
she is guilty or the one that she Is inno-
cent. In the first case it would necessl-
tate the commission of two crimes sepa-
rated by an interval of an hour or more
too long TO permit the probability Of
insane frenzy, and too short by far to be
Of use for nervous recuperation. On
the other hand, if she is innocent, she
has faced the most dreadful trial that
could be imagined in a way that gives
new testimony to the stamina OF the
New England temperament and the
strength of the New England backbone,
