Chiffon, who was too wheezy and fat
to run anywhere this hot weather.
It was with great misgivings that
Chiffon mere had seen her hope
and pride depart from the pier. One
of the patrician traditions inherent in
the minds of those who make their
millions in oil or hogs is that their
young women must be chaperoned
properly and as BELTS blue blood.
Little rocked she that Miss Cynthia
proposed to turn this harmless,
needles-and-pins expedition into adj
venture. The young woman resolved
to see little life on her own account
as well as to replenish mammals
boxes and trunks. In this intention
she was aided and abetted by
Hortense, her maid, singular mix
ture of dexterity and diablerie.
There were two men at the pier
who had dangled after the pretty girl
all summer, but who, thanks to mann
ma, had had no opportunities com
mensurate with their respective abili-
ties to make love to her. Miss Cynthia
proposed to help them out bit, and
to that end Hortense contrived to let
each man know that her young lady
was to spend three or four days alone
at the Chiffon town house.
Miss Chiffon had not been in her
papa's palatia1 mansion two hours
when the card of Mr.. J. Townsend To-
basco, was brought up by Hortense-
Fifteen minutes later Miss Chiffon had
accepted Mr. Tobasco's invitation to
dine with him on the following even
ing. Twenty minutes later Mr.. Rene
Risque was shown into the drawing
room.

that she was utterly reprehensible.

was the dangerous folly of her con-
duct. an

and lot more of this sort of rubbish
which Miss Chiffon had imbibed from
a certain class of literature and from
whispers over cup of tea in the
boudoir of her frivolous friend, Mrs.
Percy Poppycock-
On the next evening Mr.. J. Town
send Tobasco rang the Chiffon bell
Mr.. TObasco was a young man of ex-
cellent social position, some money, a
few brains. Though man of pleas

his designations. He was a vestry-

In these days of ocean racing the

sail for Barbadoes and journeyed in

about abreast at this time but sepa-

from jabbing bayonet into him, and
the only thing they could do when the

SUICIDE PARTIES.

Entertainments That Would Not Find
Favor with American Girls.
Mr.. Medhurst, for many years British
consul at Shanghai, tells, in the Lon
don Million, of singular ''card of in
vitation'' which he once received in
China. 1t was from lady, intimating
her intention to commit suicide on a
specified date. She was very young
and attractive. and belonged to a
wealthy family, but the Chinese gen
tleman to whom she had been affia1ced
from childhood having died just before
the date fixed for their nuptials, she
gave out that she deemed it her duty
to render her widowhood irrevocable
by dying with her betrothed. So she
sent cards around to the local gentry
giving notice of her purpose. No at
tempt was made by her relatives or
the local authorities to Illustrate her
design, though Mr.. Medhurst appealed
to the mandarins, the general opinion
being that she was about to perform a
meritorious act. Eventually, on the
day named, the woman did deliberate
ly sacrifice her life in the presence of
thousands of spectators. A stage was
erected in the open fields, with a tent
ed frame over it, from which was sus-
pended a slip of scarlet crepe. One
end of this slip she fastened round her
neck, and then, embracing little boy
presented by one of the bystanders,
she mounted a chair and resolutely
jumped off, ''her little clasped hands
saluting the assemblage as her body
twirled round with the Tightening
cord" The woman was not bounded
on by fanatic mob, as was the prac
tice at suttees in Indio, but immolation
appeared to be an entirely voluntary
act. Sacrifices of this kind, according
to Mr.. Medhurst, are not uncommon in
certain parts of China, and. strange to
say, they are rewarded with monu-
ments, sometimes erected by order of
the emperor

NEED OF THE POET.
The Laws of the Mind Make Him an Inn
portant Factor.

portant Factor.
1t is impossible for men to live in the
world without poetry of some sort or
other. If they cannot get the best
they will get some substitute for it,
and thus seem to verify Saint Angus
tines slur that it is w;ncof devils, says
James Russell Lowell ii Century.
The mind bound down too closely to
what is practical either becomes inert,
or revenges itself by rushing into the
savage wilderness of ssisrns.'' The in
sincerity of cur civilization has dis
gusted some persons SO much that they
have sought refuge in Indian wigwams
and found refreshment in taking a
scalp now and then. Nature insists
above all things upon balance. She
contrives to maintain a harmony be-
tween the material and spiritual, nor
allows the cerebrum an expansion at
the cost of the cerebellutn. If the
character, for example, run on one side
into religious enthusiasm, it is not un-
likely to develop on the other coun-
terpoise of worldly prudence. Thus
the Shaker and the Moravian are noted
for thrift, and mystics are not always
the worst managers. Through all
changes of condition and experience
man continues to be a citizen of the
world of idea as well as the world of
fact, and the tax gatherers of both are
punctual.
There is as much poetry as ever in
the world if we only knew how to find
it out, and as much imagination, per
haps, only that it takes more prosaic
direction. Every man who meets with
misfortune, who is stripped of material
prosperity, finds that he has little
outlying mountain farm of imagina-
ton, which did not appear in the
schedule of his effects, on which his
spirit is able to keep itself alive, though
he never thought of it while he was
fortunate. Job turns out to be great
poet as soon as his focks and herds are
taken away from him.

Populists and the Income Tax.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-Pence of Col
orado, on behalf of the populists in con-

come tax bill when it comes up for con-
sideration, providing for graduated in
come tax as follows: $1,000 to $4,000,
per cent; SIC, 900 to $50, 600, 2 per cent /;
$4,000 to $50, 900, 8 per cent; $50, 900 to
100000, 4 per cent; over 100000, per
cent This is in accordance with the
plank in the populist platform. If the
populists cannot get the democrats to
adopt their idea, they will drop it and
help pass the democratic measure.

Resolved, That from the facts and
papers laid before the senate it is un-
wise and inexpedient, under the exist

any project of the annexation of the Ha-

that the provisional government therein
having been duly recognized, the highest
international interests requires that it
shall pursue it's own line of policy.
Foreign interventions in the political
affairs of these islands would be regarded
as an act unfriendly to the government
of the United States.''
