Jowelry In n Grave.

The largest amount of jewelry
known to be in single grave was
buried in Greenwood cemetery several
years ago. The undertaken who had
charge of the funeral protested against
it, but was severely srubbed for his
interference. The family had it's way,
and in that grave is buried fully s5, 900
worth of diamonds, with which the
body was decked when prepared for
burial. Sometimes families who desire
to bury their dead in the clothing
worn in life-in evening or wedding
dresses, Tor instance-substitute less
costly limitations for the jewelry worn
in life, partly from motives of thrift
and partly from superstitious fear
that anything taken off "a body when
it is ready for the tomb viii bring Ill
LUCK to future wearers

Boston. upon which very generous
outlay has been made. illustrates the
possibility of a general revival in these
matters of American civic art and
architecture. Not only is the building
itself most worthily and intelligently
designed to meet the objects In view,
but it's architecture wins approval from
art critics. while ii is also setting a
good example for our civic administra-
tors by employing the best American
talent to decorate it's interior with ar
tistic mural designs. The city of Paris
has lent great encouragement to a
noble form of art by engaging great

The Ancient Mariner frowned, with
an expression of affronted dignity. He
was fond of unraveling the thread of
"reminiscences of dates, places and
people, when he found a congenial
listener.
Mrs. Griffith gave the Lieutenant a
gilded bonbonniere, with the admoni-
ton: ETHEL is very fond of choco-

The officer started from his reveries,
and presented the box to the young
lady. AS he did so, the heavy medal
fell from his pocket and rolled on
the floor. He recovered it hastily.
"What treasure have you there?" in
quircd Miss Symthe, who possessed an
unusually sharp pair of blue eyes.
"A Greco-Phenician medallion, was
the careless rejoinder.
Where did you find it?" questioned
Capt. Fillingham, with interest
aroused.

and paused abruptly.
Dear me! You got it of native,

Capt. Blake laughed in cynical
fashion. Has Jacob Dealtry any
pretty daughters?" he insinuated.
NO" said Arthur Curzon, with su-
perhuous curtness.
Surely he has granddaughter"
insisted Capt Blake, playfuily.
The hot blood mounted to the brow
of the sailor. "How did you lnow?"

eyebrows, drained his teacup and re.

THE ORIGINAL "rRlLeY.n
Du Maurier Gets His Idea from Mime.
Ann Riviere Bishop.

Speculation as to the original from
which Du Maurier drew his Trilby
O'Ferrall and Svengali have been rife
since the publication of the most popu-
lar book that has appeared for many
years. All sorts of exemplars have
been quoted, but none of them bore a
sufficient resemblance to the heroine
of the novel to be worth consideration.
The musical history of the time in
which Trilby's extraordinary history
is dated has been ransacked for the
name of singers whose careers, in any
way, touched upon the meteoric flight
OF that extraordinary girl through the
upper regions of the musical world.
Trilby was indeed shooting star, COM
ing, no one knew whence, shining with
rare effulgence for a short time and
suddenly losing her brilliance and fad
ing into nothing She came from moth
ing and to nothing she returned
The lives of the other great prima
donne of the period offer no parallel to
this extraordinary story, says the Chi
cago Weekly. The greatest singer of
that day, Giuila Grisi began life as a
chorus girl, showed remarkable talent
and an exceptionally beautiful voice,
studied hard under good masters, was
gradually promoted on her merits, was
for many years the reigning prima
donna of Europe. declined in popular
ity with the advance of age and died
in retirement peacefully and quietly.
Trilby, on the contrary, leaped to
celebrity at bound, blazed forth as
star of the first magnitude and was
suddenly extinguished when the mag
netic force that controlled her orbit
failed to act. So it was with the other
great vocalists. Their lives have been
written, even to the minutest detail.
Their history is the common property
of the world; there is no mystery about
1t. One singer, however, whose fame
was world wide, but who now is we'll
nigh forgotten, offers in her career a
striking resemblance to that of Trilby.

Arthur Curzon, soothed by these
feminine batteries, asked himself
what scheme his cousin might be ma
turing in her brain, on his own be-
half, with sentiment of awakening
curiosity, as his glance followed the
movements of the stout and handsome
matron with the smooth black hair,
clear complexion, and tranquil gray
eyes. Mrs Griffith was an inveterate
matchmaker. No doubt she had
bride ready for him. Who, then?
Miss Ethel Symthe, of course. Did he
not know feminine tactics?
The young man was expansive in re-
sponsive greetings to the Ancient
Mariner, otherwise Capt. John Filling
ham, on the retired list, whose remi-
niscsnces extended over forty years OF
active service, chiefly In wooden ships;
wars; the suppression of the African
slave trade; or cruising off the Mos
quito coast. He had shared the fresh
impressions of life of midshipmen with
Arthur Curzon's father, the admiral of
many engagements.
A kindly old gentleman, warming
rheumatic limbs in the winter sun
shine of the Mediterranean shore, and
with countenance like the battered
fgure-head of a ship, the Ancient Mari
ner scanned the new conner through his
gold-rimmed spectacles, and remarked
to Miss Symthe, sotto voce: "a fine
lad and he will prove an exceedingly
clever man, if l am not much mis-
taken. A chip of the old block, as

IONS, you know His father, Admiral
Jack, fell in love with such pretty
girl, but without penny. She was a

that sort He saw her crossing thor
oughfare near his club on a foggy
morning. She had neatly turned
ankles. Dear me! it seems but yester-
day! l was best man at the wedding.
We were middies together"
Fancy" murmured Miss Symthe,
and slight glow of animation warmed
her cheek.
''These young fellows are pampered
nowadays" continued Capt Filling
ham. I'm my time, we had to put up
with salt horse and weevily biscuit,
without too much complaint The
uncle, Archibald, if L am not in
error"

Fillingham, brisk matron, still
proud of her dumping form as revealed
to advantage in Paris robe.

of their surroundings. On one side
the island, barren and arid, caught
the pervading radiance of golden sun
shine, and the shadow of passing
clouds in orange and purple tints on
ridge and hollow, vivid, yet delicate
and evanescent. On the other the
limpid waves of the bay rippled gently
on the strand, and the blue sea spread

a transparent and luminous horizon.

SAWDUST FOR BREAD.

A proposition has beeu madein
Chicago, and it emanates from a
charitable society, to feed the
poor upon bread made partly out
Of wood. 1t is asserted that in
Berlin there is great bakery
where two hundred weight of
wood bread is turned out every
day for popular consumption.
The bread is made out of saw
dust and rye flour-three-
fourths sawdust. A chemical
process, it is said, takes away
the texture and the taste of the
sawdust and liberates the saccha-
rine and nutritive elements, and
with a little rye -four, the COM
pound makes nutritive bread,
which is sold very cheaply.
Now a Chicago society wants
to feed the poor upon this new
staff of life. Why, however,
have three parts sawdustl Why
not sawdust pure and simple?
Sawdust ought to be good enough
for a workingman, and if he
prefers rye or wheat bread, it
simply shows that he is an idle
dog who does not want to earn
his living, but is envious of the
rich.
If sawdust comes into general
use as food for the poor, it will
greatly benefit the country, for
the workingman can then live
upon less wages, and the cost of
production of all commodities
will be lessened.-Twentieth
Century.
Eureka! we've found it at last.
If our delinquent subscribers
will send us in plenty of wood,
we're fixed. All that is pecss-

sary, then, is to saw the wood to
warm and cook with, and save
the sawdust. Then, with little
water to mix with the sawdust,
we'll get along frst-rate, thank
We; so, bring on the wood.
Whoopee! here's one reform
editor who sees his way through.
But, seriously, what do you
think of this diet of wood for
poor people?
