A Duchess With a Ristory.

The Dowager Duchess of Suther-
land is very hadsomely provided
for with S2,500,000 down and an
annuity of $4,000 a year. She
has had to fight hard for what she
considered her rights under the
late Dukes will, and although the
amount she will receive in cash is
only half that named in the will
it is sufficiently generous treat
ment. She was the handsome
daughter of a professor at Oxford,
and married Capt. Blair, who, as
the story goes, was accidentally
killed by the old Duke Of Suther-
land, who straightway married the
widow, less than four months after
his Duchess had died, greatly tC
the disgust of his family and
frie nds. The Duke himself died
not long after, leaving the greater
part of his vast estates to this
Duchess, who, in addition to being
known as "Her Graceless Grace
and the most hated woman in Eng
land, likewise achieved the dis
tinction of being the first Duchess
ever sent to prison in England fol
other than a political offense. Hell
offense was contempt of court il

FASH ION AND FANCY.

Silver belt buckles are made in
oval form, with a ragged edge. By
way of ornamentation the initials
are spread over the field with
many fanciful curves and graceful
lines.
Another novelty is the blouse
created from a number Of large,
old-fashioned bandanas. The Dor
ders of the handkerchiefs form
collars, cuffs and belts, and appear
in fantastic shaped yokes.
Widows bonnets have strings
of corded white ribbon, dull in
color and nearly a finger broad.
Satins and brocadcs in silver
gray, golden brown, lavender and
ice blue shades are the materials
used for the gown of the widow
marrying a second time.
A pretty coat for a little girl of
four or five is a white corduroy,
the skirt plain and full and at

are finished with narrow bands Of
velvet.

Tie Power of Charming Shakes.

In India and, to q certain extent, in
other Oriental countries, the profes-
sion Of serpent charming is said to be
hereditary, and has been practiced
from remotest antiquity. The serpent
charmer possesses power beyond that
of other men of knowing when he is
within close proximity to Q concealed
reptile, long practice having, probably,
given them . fine sense of smell which
enables them to detect the odor emitto'l
by the serpent, even though 1t be so
faint as not to attract the attention of
the novice. These willy fakirs usually
sscribe their powers to some constitu-
tional popularity, but it has been
noticed that they generally pull the
fanRs and extract the venom glands of
the reptiles handled in giving exhibit
tions. What power the human voice
may have in controlling the actions of
these venemous creatures is uncertain !;
however, it has been noted that ser
pent charmers continually talk, sing,
whistle or have An attendant play upon
some shrill musical instrument during
the time exhibitions are being given.
That these sounds have their influence
there is not the least doubt. The
"chsrmer" also exerts an influence
over these creatures with his eye, some
reputable travellers declaring that they
have seen fakirs control and govern
their poisonous pets by merely fixing
their eyes steadfastly upon those ct

A River Stunned by Indians.

The Wishkah River is Stunned by ali
Indians. Even when crossing from
the Quiniault or Humptulips country
to the Wynooche they avoid crossing
the Wishkah by going around to the
north of its source. Their tradition is
that many ages ago some great eagle
captured an enormous whale on the
coast and carried it to the head waters
of the river, and that the whales de-
caying body poisoned the entire river.
so that a great epidemic came and
killed all the Indians living along the
stream, and the waters Of the river are
dangerous even unto this day. From
this tradition the beautiful river has
its unsavory name, which in the Indian
tongue, means ''Stinking waters -

Birth Of England's Great Bank.

Geography OF the Moon.

Sir Robert Ball is reported to have
said in his lecture on the moon that
the geography of our satellite was bet
ter known even than that of the earth.
There was not single spot on the
moon the size of an ordinary parish In
England that has not been photo
graphed and observed. OF course this
remark can only relate to the side of
the moon which is always turned
towards us. Nearly one-half of her
surface has never been seen by mortal
eye, and never will be, unless the lunar
globe should be tilted by collision with
comet or some other erratic body.
Otherwise it is a fact that photography
has done more for the earth's atten-
dant than for itself. It is analogous
