The Volcano 9 Feet Higher Than
1t Was a Few Months Ago.
Recent dispatches telling of the
streams Of lava at Vesuvius will cause
no surprise to any n who has visited
the volcano within the last three
months. 1t has been steadily putting
and spouting during that time, heav-
ing out showers of molten lava and
glowing by night until the clouds Of
vapor above it took on the appear
ance of rolling flames. Two days be-
fore the recent outpour from a break
in the cone the shell of the old crater
trembled from the working Of the lava
underneath, and the peculiar sounds Of
Kissing and growing which accom-
panied each small eruption could be
heard two miles away.
Vesuvius is $50 feet higher than 1t
was six months ago. The constant
showers of porous lava have filled in
one side of the old hollow crater and
have built up the new cone, which
from its bold outlines, has greatly

A year ago visitors looked into the
hollow OF the old and somewhat cool
ed-off crater. OF late they have gone
inside the boundaries of the old era
ter to get Il good look ut the new conc
from the summit of which at intervals
of a few minutes there is a gust Of
stream laden with red-hot ashes,
which are sem into the air 200 feet
or more. Before the stream has drift
ed away there is another rumble, a
sound Of watery explosion, and an
other shower of ashes. Thus, from q
distance in the daytime. there seems
to be a constant curl of white vapor
from the summit, but ut night each
separate eruption throws up a vivid
light, which then fades away to q dull
glow.
The natives who live on the slope OF
of the mountain said that after the
new cone had been built somewhat
higher it would fall in of its OWL
weight, and close the present breath
ing hole. Then the mountain would
be like Il corked-up bottle. A new ven
would have to he made, and in til,
making of this vent there would be
fierce eruption, an overflow of lava
and the formation of a new crater
Apparently the natives should be In
formed as some Of them had ancestor
at Pompeii. and many remember dis
tinctly the incidents of the fierce erul
ton Of 1872, by which the present cru
ter was formed.-Csicago Record.

OF course, if he spent only his accu-

pretty affair designed at home from cur
tanning materials.

The very latest discussion on a matter
that concerns women, says the New York
Times, Is one dealing with long engage
ments. 1t Is a good thing for a girl to
pledge herself To marry a man, when it
is quite impossible that the marriage can
take place in the near future?
There are some who do not become
soured by protracted waiting upon cir
cumstances. A condition OF hope braces
them up. They can keep on trusting and
believing that all will come right, and
their natures only sweeten and mellow in
the process.
But such natures as these are exception
al Few possess them. The majority OF
us are rather apt to be soured when de-
lay attends our wishes, and the bright fu-
ture seems to recede before US, dwindling
down a vista long and shadowy.
Long engagements often lead to most
painful complications. AS human beings
are made, continuance of mutual affec-
ton seems more certain after marriage
than before
A long engagement is a very trying or
through unscathed. As often as not one
of the two people involved in ii tires OF
the other, wearies of the waiting.
Half the breach of promise cases that
come into court, indeed more than hall,
are the direct result of long engagements.
And how many engagements are broken
without the world ever hearing of them?
Experience of life and knowledge of the
world seem to US to teach, and very com
pletely, that there is no greater folly than
to enter into a long engagement with no
particular prospect of marriage except in
the dim, distant re.-Gentlewoman.

From the New York Sun.
On Holy Thursday at Vienna. the EN-
peror Francis Joseph performed the an
nual ceremony of washing the feet of
twelve old beggars. The ceremony took
place I'm the Hall of Ceremonies in the i'm
perial palace. On the platform raised
slightly above the floor was long table
with twelve covers, a plate, knife, wooden
spoon, folded napkin for each, with a
piece of bread, a pewter mug. and a
little blue pitcher filled with water At
10 o'clock twelve old men, the youngest
SO and the Oldest 50, entered the hall and
were supported, each by two relatives,
TO the platform which they mounted
with difficulty. and were placed in their
seats, their relatives, most of them
women, standing behind them. Then en-
tered tWentw knights of the Teutonic
Order, headed by their master Archduke
Eugene, dressed in white with a long
black cross on the breast OF their doublet
and another on the back of their long
white cloaks. They marched around the
hall, and then, forming a line on either
side. made way for the min .ster, with
Count kalnoky at the head, and the
emperor's STAFF. They were followed by
the primate of Austria, Cardinal Gruscha
with priests and acolytes bearing candles
and burning incense. Then came the
emperor, dressed in the white uniform of
an Austrian general and wearing the
order on che Golden Fleece. He ad-
Vanced to the table and addressed a few
words TO the old men, At a signal from
the master of ceremonies twelve guards
men stepped forward, each bearing on
tray the first course of a sumptuous re-
past. The emperor now took off his he'll
met, gave it TO an officer, and, passing
down the line. arranged the dishes before
each guest. Twelve archdukes then ap-
preached and removed the Barmecide
banquet from the guests eyes, handing
the dishes to the guards. This was re-
peated for three courses, and with the
last the plates. knives and other objects
ON the table were also taken off. They
were all packed later, with the food, in
wooden boxes, and sent to the homes of
the old men.
The table was then taken away, and
the washing of feet" began. A priest
approached with towel and a golden
basin fun of water; their slippers were
taken from the old mems feet, and the
emperor on his knees, beginning with
the oldest, moistened his feet with water
and dried them with the towel. Without
rising, still on his knees, he passed on to
the next one, and so on to the end of
the row When he had finished he rose
and placed around each mans neck a
chain, attached to which was a small
white bag containing thirty pieces of sill

peror and his suite withdrew, and the old

LITTLE RUTH CLEVELAND HAS A
BEAU.
How She ana Margaret BisseII Liked

From the Chicago Tribune.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Washington, May 14.-Ex-Postmaster
General Bissell has a little girl about the
age of Ruth Cleveland. She is a pretty,
sweet and bright little one, with hair and
eyes the same color as her mothers. Pri-
vate Secretary Thurber has son who is
5 years old. The child is good-looking and
manly-a strong, healthy boy. Mrs. Cleve-
land has always been particular as to the
playmates and associates of her children,
and so little Ruth has few acquaintance

Bissell and Tom Thurber are among the
privileged ones.
The three children-Ruth, Margaret
and Tom-are good friends, for little Ruth

her father is President, and Margarets

little ones have not as yet learned OF the
fine lines that are drawn in social affairs
but are simply three little children play
ing happily together
Children have their romances as well
as men, and when they play together the
little girls show as much coquetry as do
their older sisters. Manly little Tom
Thurber was pleasing to the eyes OF
and looked with longing eyes for some
sign of his favor. Little Tom, always po-
lite and gentle, usually paid no attention
10 the advances of the two girls, treating
them at times with lofty disdain. He con
descended to be polite and talkative, but
that was all. After awhile he became
more and more wrapped up in his two
little sweethearts, but never gave any
sign OF an unusual regard for one more
than for the other He was too polite
for that. Little Ruth would try to win
his heart and affections and so would
