A Prima Donna's' Phonograph.


When the singer was driven to the
station in New York to take the train
for Boston large box accompanied her
inside Of which was packed carefully,
her beloved photograph. Never were
there more inseparable companions
than Mile. Calve and her photograph.
Two hours each day she devotes entire
ly to it. On Sundays, as soon as the
French mail arrives, Calye shuts her
self up in her room with her phono-
graph for nearly an entire day.
The explanation is simple enough.
Mile. Calve is engaged to be married to
Henri Cain, the Partisan painter. When
Calve left Paris she and young Cain
vowed to each other that they would
talk to each other at least one hour
each day. Every Friday night while
Mile. Calve has been here box con-
taining,the photograph strips which she
had used during the week was dispatch
ed to Paris, Next day when the French
ship got in similar box arrived from
NJ Cain. Every little detail Of her
daily life, the news of each of her Oper
attic triumphs, even her songs, were
poured by Mile. Calve into the sympa-
thetic ear of the photograph. In speak
ing of her experiment, Mile. Calve said:
II would advise all long-distance low
ers to follow my example. It's such q
comfort to hear the sound of your dear
ones voice."-Boston Globe.

A BLUE-BEARD's CASTLE
A St. Thoma. Man Who Disposed
Of Seven Wives.

Of Seven Wives.
st. Thomas, one OF the West India
islands, is a Danish possession, and
has Il curious history. In the past it
f1ourished only on it's own vices and its
neighbours misfortunes. When it grew
virtuous it ceased to be happy. Its
neighbors' gain proved it's own loss.
Slavery was an institution until 1S4S,
and until that time sugar was clltivat-
ed with Il success that studied the
thirty-three square miles Of the island's
surface with large plantations and
handsome mansions. But in the fatal
year that slavery was abolished the
colored population, which is more than
threc-quarters Of the whole, preferred
to give up steady work, and now only
a few green vegetables. Il little fruit
and some green grass are cultivated.
ST. Thomas has long been Il COM
mercial center. The Royal Mail Com
pany and other lines have made the
island their principal rendezvous for
steam packets, and during the Ameri-
can civil war commerce received 4
great but temporary stimulus. Unfor-
tunately for st. Thomas the war could
not last forever, so trade began to de-
cline. and when, in 1885, the Royal
Mail Company removed it's headquar-
tiers to Barbados, the death blow was
given to the commerce of the island.
It has one town named Charlotte
Amalie. but the natives insist upon
calling it, rs well rs the island. st.
Thomas. The town is garrisoned by
force OF one hundred men, who protect
the lives and liberties of five thousand
citizens. The little town lies at the foot
of high hills covered with stunted trees
and shrubs. 1t is very picturesque
with its white houses, mostly red-roof-
ed. and only wants a big church to re-
call some Of the small towns along the
Italian Riviera. Above it stands two
ancient towers called Bluebeard's and
Blacl1head's castles. They We're built
two centuries ago by brothers, one Of
whom had a happy faculty Of getting
rid of his wives-hence the name of
Bluebeard-and was not called to ac-
cunt by his Maker until he had made
an end to seven Mrs. Bluebeards.

How the Mind Is Affected BY the
Weather.

Weather.
The psychology Of the weather Is sug
gested by DR.. T. d. Crothers as a promis-
ing subject for study. He Gays in
Siences every few persons recognize
the sources Of error that COME directly
from atmospheric conditions on expert
mentors and observers and others. In
my wi case / have been amazed at the
faulty deductions and misconceptions
which were made in damp, foggy
weather, or on days IN which the air was
charged with electricity and thunder
storms impending. What seemed clear
to me at those times appeared later to be
filed with error. Au actuary in q large
insurance company is obliged to stop
work at such times, finding that he
makes SO many mistakes which he is
only conscious Of later that his work is
useless. In a large factory from ten to
twenty per cent less work is brought out
on damp days and days Of threatening
storm. The superintendent In receiving
orders to be delivered at a certain time
takes this factor into calculation. There
is a theory among many persons in the
fire insurance business that in states Of
depressing atmosphere greater careless
ness exists and more fires follow. En-.
gineers OF railway locomotives have some
curious theories OF trouble, accidents
and increased dangers in such periods
a~ttrlbuting them to the machinery"
DR.. Crothers adds that the conviction
prevails among many active brain work
ers Ia his circle that some very powerful.
forces coming from what is %popularl,
/ called the weather control the work an'
the success Of each one.

WASHINGTON. B. c.. March 2. 1894.
It is not generally known, but it
is none the less true, that the re-
markable series of caucuses held by
the Democratic Senators this week
on the tariff bill are the direct re-
suit of suggestions from President
Cleveland. Several Senators told
Mr.. Cleveland that they were dis
satisfied with the bill as the sub
committee intended to report it to
the Finance committee, and to
each Of them he suggested the
idea of holding a caucus in order
that the bill might be changed suf-
ficiently to receive the solid vote
of the Democrats. While there are
some regretable circumstances con-
nected with the holding of 80 many
caucuses, it is far preferable, either
from party or general point of
view, that concessions be made in
q party caucus than that they be
forcihy obtained with the aid of
Republican votes.
Representative BANDS bill for
the coinage of the seigniorage is
now before the House, but as it
has no order from the committee
on rules behind it and the anti-sil-
yer men are refusing to vote to
make a quorum there is some doubt
as to whether it will be able TO
maintain the right of way until
disposed of. Countless misrepre--
sensations have been made of the

ficates in advance of the coinage Of
the seigniorage, and Mr.. Bland ex-
pressed his willingness to change
the bill so as to make the certif.
Gates issuable on the coinage Of
the silver.
In deciding not to grant hearings
on the tariff bill the Senate CON-
mittee on Finance deeply offended
a few gentlemen who had come to
Washington to instruct the CON-
mittee and air their views, but the
Democrats on that committee in so
voting we're acting as they believe
from the information they have re-
ceived the entire country wished
them to act. From north, south,
east and west comes in chorus
whatever is to be done let it be
done quickly" and the denial of
further hearings on the tariff means
the saving of several weeks time in
the consideration of the bill in the
Senate. Senator Voorhees, sized
up the situation correctly when he
said: Prompt and speedy action
on pending tariff legislation is re-
quired at this time by every patri-
otto and business consideration. /"
This being fact acknowledged by
business men who oppose as we'll
as those who favor the Wilson tariff
bill, the Republican Senators will
do well to consider the matter care
fully before they attempt to carry
out the obstructive programme
which is now being prepared by
their ablest parliamentarians in
the Senate. The capitalists of the
country are only waiting definite
settlement of the tariff question to
invest their money and inaugurate
period of prosperity for every
body, not for a comparatively few
fortunate individuals, and woe be
unto the Republican party if its
representatives in the Senate post
pone that prosperity by factious
opposition to q measure that they
cannot in the end defeat.
