bert of Kent prepared the way for the
conversion of England to Christianity.
The marriage of Henry VIII. with

factors which determined the Rcforma-
ton.

conqueror an excuse for asserting his
claim TO the throne of England.
The marriage of Henry /. with
Matilda of Scotland reconciled the peo-
pie to the Conquest by restoring the
line of Cerdic.
The marriage of Henry III. with
Eleanor of Aquitaine made England

was the town census of Doone. The
latest fad which had seized upon the
town was engineered by the faith
cure apostles, who held meetings
night after night in the meet

rheumatism and made pale Mercy
Mole, the druggists daughter, throw
away the crutch and walk and dance.
Great excitement and enthusiasm was
the result of these successes, which
the gross ignorance of the townspeo-
pie pronounced n miracle, with
their usual impetuosity they raved
and believed, and when the only
really pretty and pure child in the
town was stricken with fever, the
town gloried in the occurrence and
sat down to wait for another faith
cure miracle. This child was the pet
ci the whole community, from the
grossest giant in the pine woods,
whose heart melted under the soft
gaze and light caress of the little win
some maid, to the postmaster, who
ran to lift her over the counter and

Elaborate specimens are shown in
the tea cloths They come in patterns
from twenty-four inches to yard and
half square, and are exquisitcly
finished with white or delicately tinted
embroidery silks. Sometimes tho cor

is favorite design. Big flowers in the
corners and garland of blooms of the

tied at intervals with bow-knots, may
be seen upon late modes. Doilies must
be embroidered to match cloth.
Colored sets are little used for break

Monograms or initials grace both
cloths and napkins. You must place
monogram or letter, which should be

A lady who has been much at tho
court of Russia, and who was in the
winter palace when the attempt on
the life Of the Emperor Alexander was
made by blowing up the dining room,
gives most interesting information on
the family jewela There is no con-
ception of the vast wealth the Russian
royal family has in jewels and precious
metals. The crown jewels are so
countless that the present en-
press has not seen the greater
part of them. In style they are quite
barbaric, but the gems are of tho very
first water and value. Crowns, tiaras
and necklaces alone would decorate
all the chief royal personages in
Europe. In the empcror's and empress
apartments the toilet adjuncts arc of
gold, most of them having been made
for the luxurious Catherine III. All
the harness and carriage appointments
were also gold until the English idea
of simplicity came into vogue.

The finishing push to the animal

Bishop Sleeves.

The "bishop" sleeves of velvet will
be very popular for spring wear. tits
also the only large sleeve that is if
the least degree supportable in cloth,
as the fullncss droops gracefully at
the wrist, where it is drawn into a mar
row band. The advent of the very
full dropping sleeve has not been at
tended with the preference promised;
instead, sleeves are pushed up into n
balloon shape and adorned with u
rosette or bow of ribbon.

lard halls and
one implanted frame Westinghouse.
Not that one should insist upon meet
ing-houses, but one might dispense
with an overplus of saloons and bill
lard halls. They keep down the adj
vancement and prosperity OF a small
town as whisky retards the growth of
puppies. The postmaster said so, and
what he said went, because he was
neither q hypocritc nor fool. The
small towns name was set out on a
three-foot board on the station ver-
anda, and when the train slowed up
passengers could spell out the
legend, only five letters, ''Doone."
Every nation under heaven, al
most, had a representative in Doone.
Norwegians and Swedes burned
fcharcoaE Chinaman had a laundry;
Jap who despised the Acknowledged
washer-man, and was aided in his
scorn by his Western wife, kept a
tailor shop; German had one saloon,
a Scot, a Celt and Dago three more.
During the excitement of fire in
Doonc one heard quite a cosmopolitan
chatter, each foreigner speaking out
of the fullness of his heart in the Ian
guage of his native land. They were
receptive people in Doone; every new
fad in religion, provided it were crazy
enough, every new comic song, every
dancing school step (they danced con
amore in Doone), every stranger was
cordially welcomed and adopted.
There were more divorced than single
folks in Doone and about six
married couples. Never in such
small town were collected
such numbers of shady, reckless,
demoralized and generally hopeless
folks. They talked in a brazen and
strident manner about the political
and financial affairs of the nation, the
scandals of divorce courts and the
prize ring. The postmaster read
them all the details of the Panama
scandal, and they set upon the only
Frenchman in town and rode him or
rail. They were not shooting

there were no miners, but plenty of

Mediation Over China Not Now Probable
No Reply to Uncle Sans Ofer.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-The China
Japan incident, so far as the United
States offer of mediation is concerned,
is considered closed for the present
by those in position to understand
the situation. At the state depart
meDt and the Chinese and japanese
legations there is only negative in
formation that no positive answer
has been received, but those well iR-
formed on the subject say that Japan
has made her position clear to this
government in such way as to avoid
the endorsements of a positive de-
clination, and yet to show that any
acceptance would have to be based on
certain definite conditions.
The statement was made in con-
gressional circles to-day that Presi-
dent Cleveland's coming message to
congress would explain the China
Japan question aud forestall any res
olutions of inquiry. 1t is the belief Of
those familiar with the presidents po-
sition against foreign entanglements
that such reference as he may make
to the subject in his message will be
on the ground of humanity, urging
that while this country need not
reach abroad for conquest and acqui-
sition. it can we'll adopt an enlight-
ened policy which will aid in main
tanning the peace and progress of the
world.

performed. The gentleman first
favored was Sir George Trenchard.
He died shortly sfterward, and it was

DECREASE IN RAILWAY RATES.

WASHINGTON, Nov 2O.-During the
six years covered by the reports Of

transportation of freight declined
from 1.O61 cents to .S7S cent, and that
per passenger per mile from ? $40 to
2. lOs cents. Inconsidersble as these
reductions appear when stated in this
form, they represent a saving
to the public, upon the traffic
carried during the year ending June

TURKISH ATROCITIES

reporting that Zel1i Pashs, a Turkish
marshal, with a detachment of

1000 Armenians at Sassum The
bodies Of the dead were left unburied
and their presence has caused an
outbreak Of cholera. Many Christ
ians are reported to have fed by
secret paths across the Russian
frontier.
So far there has been no official
confirmation of this news, but il it is
true it is time the powers share in the
responsibility by their failure to en-
force article 81 of the Berlin treaty,
which impose on them the duty OF
seeing the porte takes measures to
protect Armenians. The latter de-
clare they hope for nothing from
Europe, but that they still have con-
fdence in Great Britain. Numerous
appeals have been made by the Ar
menians to the foreign office. The
last appeal received says the Ar
menians do not wish to see more of
their territory annexed by the Rus
slams, but if Great Britain is unable
to help them they will be compelled
to look to Russia, under whose yoke
they would be better off than under
the yoke of Turkey.
