The Angel Called Patience.

There is u certain kind of adaptability
with certain invalid women who are able
to mako their sickrooms as beautiful as
palace towers of fairy bowers, whose couch
is, as it wcro n dainty throne, whose lives,
Shorn of all bodily energies are yet full Of
mental activities and such sweet and ten
der handiwork as fits in with their dis
ablcd conditions. Where their unwise sis
tiers spend their time in self pity, in self
considerations, in worrying their attend
ants and bullying their doctor in that he
has not tho power of God in his hands and
does not hold the issues of life and death,
of health and disease like SO many twee-
Zers in his case of Instruments those, wiser
and moro womanly, make tho best of a
bad thing and adapt themselves to their
conditions, in return for which sweet
peace and heart $ content como to them
like doves bearing the olive branch snatChcd
from the waste of waters, and they arc
able to make good the remnant left them
by their devastating enemy. Many and
many woman of this kind has been seen
in life, and perhaps no kind of mental
beauty strikes with so much force rs this
sweet and tender patience, this unselttsh
adaptahility to the sorrow(ul conditions of
disablcmrnt and i'll health. New York

Frenchwom an and Her Veil.

off. When she wants it on again, she gets
it back in place in the same magical way.
On the contrary, an American or an Eng

to drop all interest in the conversation in
order to wrcstle with her veil and perhaps
even has to have assistance before she &C

The Fashionable woman of 1898.

That the ultra fashionable London wom-
an has not materially changed in the course
of century, says London paper, seems
clearly proved by a curious extract from
The Ladys Monthly Magazine of 1895,
which is written in the style Of the Prov
CRIBS as follows;
Who shall describe woman of fashion?
Her value is only in her jewels
She seeketh powders and paint, and with
her hands willingly she maketh cosmetics.
She bringeth food and raiment from
afar that it may be more costly. Nothing
homely or cheaply purchased pleaseth her.
She considereth piece Of china and
buyeth it and squandereth her husband's
money in vanity.
She girdeth not her body with modest
raiment Her apparel is scant and indeli-
cato.
She maketh her house the resort of gam
blcrs. Her candles burn and give light to
evil doings.
She layeth her hands on the cards. Yea,
eagerly her hand divideth the pool
She maketh card purses and delivereth
tickets of invitation for masks and revelry.
She opcneth her mouth to utter evil
words. Her tongue retaileth scandal.
Her children are nurtured by a stranger
and respect her not Her husband, too, he
despiseth her.
Fortune, birth and beauty might have
raised her above all others, but she is the
child of folly.
Her conduct should therefore have made
her pattern for all women, and her works
would have praised her in the gates.

WAS IT MURDER?
The Drowning Of the Young
Colored Woman at Cordova.
BELIEVED TO BE DOUBLE TRAGEDY.

DNIgent Search for Another Bojy-A
Colored Man Accompanying the Woman
and Her Daily Disappears Mystericu-'y
Sensation Up the River.
The ARGUS of yesterday spoke Of
the finding OF the body of young
colored woman, apparently about %
years of age, in the South slough
near Cordova. Sunday morning, and
of the failure of the coroner's jury to
identify the body, which was buried
yesterday afternoon.
Since then. however, revelations
have been made which may lead to
the unfolding of the mystery sur
rounding, not only the woman's name,
but the explanation of her death.
On the woman's person was the pho
tograph of colored man, and also a
silver spoon. Now it has been
learned that Friday evening about
O'Clock the woman, accompanied by
a colOred man, of whom the picture is
an accurate likeness, and carrying a
baby apparently Is months of age,
called at house few miles above
Cordova and was given food. The
spoon found on the person of the
dead woman belonged to the family
at whose place they stopped, and was
among the dishes on which the food
was served. Both the cOlored man
and the woman were thoroughly OBJ
served by member of the family,
who now recognizes the picture as
well as the spoon taken from the
clothes of the dead.
The Man Departs for Chicago.
What forms another link 10 the
chain OF circumstantial evidence is
the fact that Saturday morning the
colored man, who is now also re-
called by the station agent at the
depot. bought ticket for Chicago
over the Milwaukee read, and boarded
the north bound train.
What has become of the child is n
mystery, but fully satisfied that a
double tragedy has been committed.
the people of Cordova are dragging
the river for the body of the child +.
while the photograph has been sent
to Chicago detective bureau with
an account of the circumstances.
The affair has naturally created a
sensation along the river in the
vicinity of Cordova, and the people
are anxiously awaiting the result of
the dragging of the river to prove
conclusively that they have had in
their midst a Holmes black in hide,
as well as heart.
