Iinco.n.s Views on Assassination.

That night as We walked back to the
White House through the grounds be-
tween tie WAY department buildings
and the house I fancied that | saw In
the misty moonlight a man lodging be,
bind ore Of the trees. Ny heart for a
moment stood still, but as we passed IL
safety I came to the conclusion that the
lodging figure was a creature Of the
imagination. Nevertheless IS l parted
from the president at the door Of the
White House I could not help saying
that I thought his going to and fro IN
the darkness Of the night, as 1t was
usually his custom, often alone and IN
attended, was dangerous recklessness.
That night, in Difference to his wife's
anxious appeal, he had provided him
self with a thick oaken stick. He laugh
ed as he showed me this slight weapon
and said, but with some seriousness: Il
long ago made up my mind that if any
body wants to kill me he will do it. II
I wore a shirt Of mail and kept myself
surrounded by a bodyguard, it would
be all the same. There are a thousand
ways Of getting at a man if it is de-
sired that he should be killed. Besides
in this a s it seems to me the man who
would u after me would be just as

The Holy City Has Caught the Fever Of Mod
ern Progress-PromisinS Environment.
The British consul at Jerusalem in
his last report gives ONE Interesting
details respecting the state of the Holy
City. It appears that buildings OF var.
Gus kinds continue to be erected il the
vicinity, and that the city is far ont
growing its former limits. On the west
ern side houses have increased SO rapidly
within the last few years that quite a
large suburb has arisen where formerly
there were fields and vineyards. Every
available piece of land is now being
bought up by private persons or by be-
~nevolent societies and missions, and al
ready the nam of Modern Jerusalem
has been given to this new quarter.
Last year the first public garden was
completed outside the Jafa gate, and
the trade is generally increasing, espe.
eially that in Jaffa oranges, olive wood
work (now an important local industry
and olive oil. The export of colocynth
declined in consequence Of a 1.-THE levied
on it by the authorities. 1t is gathered
by Arabs in the neighborhood of GAIA,
where it grows wild. An interesting en-
terprise which has recently been COM
menced is the collection Of the bitumen
which rises to the surface and floats
about on the Dead sea. Two sailing
boats were taken by train from Jaffa to
Jerusalem and then conveyed In carts
to the Jordan, where they were foated
down the river to the Dead sea, and
they are now engaged in picking up the
bitumen. which is in much request IN
Europe.
The consul thinks it would be advan-
tageous to trade with the inland dis
tricts if a steam launch and lighters
were placed on the Dead sea to ferry
across the produce Of Moab, which is a
country that is rich in cereals, fruit
and cattle. At present it is conveyed by
caravans round the north or south end
Of the Dead sea, entailing a journey of
from four to five days. Kerak, the chief
town of Moab. is now g%arrisoned with
Ottoman troops, and authority is estab-
lished there, SO that if rapid comlnunlca-
ton were established the whole produce
of Moab would find its way to Jerusa-
lem and the oast.-Boston Transcripts

IN EUROPE.
Their Use Believed to have Originated In
the Eritisa Array.

the british Army.
In every capital Of Europe the mono
Gle is common enough. 1t attracts no
attention on the street. In a row Of men
at the theater a considerable proportion
arc sure to have it. Perhaps half the
officers in the German airy wear mono
cles. They are to be seen IL abundance
at any meeting of the French academy.
Even socialist deputies IN France are
not ashamed to go among their constis-
uents wearing them. A session of the
English house Of commons glltters with
solitary eyeglasses. The single eyeslass
is said tc have originated among the
officers Of the British army.
About the beginning of the century
an order was issued that army officers
should net wear eyeglasses Or specta,
cles. Itwas supposed thac they gave the
wearers ar unmilitary appearance. The
order caused severe Inconvenience tc
many short sighted officers, and OF
them, belonging to a crack regiment
invented the single eyeglass. he
claimed that, being an eyeglass, its use
was no contraventicn Of TIE orGer which
prohibited spectacies and eyeglasses. II
soon became very popular in the army
and was afterward adopted. On account
probably OF this origin the single eye.
glass is very generally worn in Europe
by army officers.
1t is by some thought to give an as
pect Of determination and ferocity to
the wearer, whereas eyeglasses lend al
air of feebleness.-New York World.

WHAT To DO WITH ONES MoNEY.l
Suggestions For Those Who Do Not
;tSneOd as They Co"

kSA co
A woman who probably voices the
question of a great many other women
writes to ask how she shall invest her
savings. She is a working woman who
has accumulated a small sum, which
she naturally wishes to use in accumu-
lating more. The amount she has saved
is not large enough for her to invest ID
real estate or in any large enterprise.
About two years ago this same cues
ton was asked, and we put the problem
before the leading business men and
fnanciers. They answered the question
almost unanimously. They advocated
the saving of the money IN savings
banks at a small rate Of interest until
such time as there should be sufficient
O to invest in a good first mort
gage or in desirable real estate. The
reason foc this decision was that wom-
en- are seldom fitted by education and
training to take part wisely III ventures.
They are likely to be the prey of design
ing Spectators. They are almost lnva-
riably incapable of taking care OF them
selves properly in any sort Of specula-
tive scheme. The savings banks offer a
secure place for depositing money, and
the income from them, while small, is
certain. Four per cent, assured and safe,
is better for most women than larger
profits and greater risks.
When the small sum has grown to be
a considerable one," first" mortgages on
good property form an admirable invest
ment for women's savings. They yield
an income Of about 6 per cent in most
states and are about as safe as saving
banks. Land has an agreeable quality
of remaining where it is, and improve
ments on land when mortgaged are al
ways insured, so that there is little dan-
ger of loss to the holder Of a first mort
gage. BIZ a fcst mortgage is meant the
one which, in case Of failure Of the OWL
er Of the property to pay the interest or
the AMOUNT Of the loan Ill Cue time,
Will be Paid first.
Investmert in real estate is not SO
satisfactory. Property in places where
the value Ct land is not liable to be d.
rirished costs a good deal, in The first
place. Then there ere taxes, insurance
and constant repairs to decrease the
profits. Still lind las IN advantage OF
other investments il its comparative
stability.-St. Louis Pcst-Dispatch.

CURIOUS TEA PARTIES.
The Odd and Eternal Little Functions THAI
Are Held In Pearl Street.

The Odd and Eternal Little Functions That
Are Held In Pearl Street.
There is an everlasting tea party l n
function on Pearl street, near Hanover
SQUARE. An aroma Of freshly stepped
leaves fills the air all the week, and fol
lowing your nose to the cause you will
find it pointing down to little gloomy
easements where teacups are perpetual
" spread. They are all plain white
CUPS, and there is no display Of table
cloth or dainty cakes-just plain tea
And the methods OF the tea parties that
foregather there are just as plain and
unceremonious.
They generally consist of old gentle
men of severely respectable appearance,
ard when these old parties feel like it
they go down the basement steps and
take a pinch Of tea out of a caddy or
suacer, or whatever it may be kept IN,
and put it in the cup and pour a little
not water on it. but never any milk or
sugar. And then, despite their eminent
ly respectable air, they dip their fingers
il the cups and stir the tea leaves about
or maybe fish out a leaf and unroll 1t,
sometimes putting it in their mouths
AID chewing it.
But, strangest thing of all, they new
er drink their tea after all the trouble
they have taken with it. Ia fact, they
seem to take a strong dislike to the IN
fusion as O as it is before them.
Sometimes they sniff at it, and If ever
they take it into their mouths they dc
but roll it around and spit it out.
Moreover. they will do the same things
with half a dozen cups in succession
until Dr.. Johnson-unless he knew the
reason-would have cried out at the
waste of the cheering but unlnebrlat-
ing beverage.
Meanwhile other gentlemen sit also
at the table and anxiously watch all
this shifting and splitting, for these are
the tea tasters and samplers, and this
is where tea is bought and sold not by
the pound, but by the carload.-NeW
York Sun.

THE DOOR OF PLANTS.
II Cones From the Heart of the Flower
Usually, Sometimes From the Leaves.

II Cones From the Heart of the Flower
Usually, Sometimes From the Leaves.
The various delightful or d~isagreeable
odors of the plant family usually reside
in the flower itself, though in some
species the scat is in the leaves and stem
or even in the root. IL either CASE the
odor is due to the presence of volatile
essential oils, usually Of a %resinous ma
trre. The number of these oils is I'd
known, and their nature is so complex
that even a slight variation in the tenn
perature or in the quantity of light
falling upon them is sufficient to cause
q Encouragement Of their component ell
ements, resulting, so far as the smell is
concerned at least, in al entirely differ
emit compound
Prophylic ether, which is an Exam
pie of these unstable compounds, can,
by a slightly different arrangement OF
its elements, be made to yield either the
odor of pineapples or that Of decaylng
ish. The reason, therefore, why each
species and kind Of a plant has a differ
emit odor is the ease with which one per-
fume may be transformed into another.
Sufficient cause for such transition Is
often found in the MODE OF life Of each
variety of plant and the difference in
their chemical constitution.
Whatever in any way affects the life
or growth of a plant rapidly shows its
effect upon the flower and its perfume.
The nature OF the soil and its humid
ty. the variation of temperature OK the
intensity of the sunlight will sooner or
later transform the entire nature OF a
plant, for, as has been fully shown
above, one plant, in order to produce
exactly the same perfume as another,
must not only be of the same species,
but live in the same elements, eartn,
air. etc. It must also absorb a similar
amount of light and breathe the same,
which would, Of course, necessltate
leaves similar in size. color and shape.

nestroved It's Own identity.

One step from the sublime to the
ridiculous. This is an old truism. 1t
might be said also that comedy and
tragedy are very near to each other-at
least so argued that prince of good fell
lows, Nat Goodwin.
Seated in Delmonico's cafe q day
recently, Goodwin was entertaining a
number of friends with personal reml-
niscences of a European trip. In a de-
lightfu]ly ingenious manner he made
himself the butt in each story, and con-
vulsed his auditors with laughter.
Finally he said: 81 was walking
down street the other day-that is, l
was or another fellow was, it doesn't
make any difference. You don't want
to spoil a story on t~echnicalities. Any

His auditors laughed, but Goodwin

he remarked. t'Think of the position of
that dog. In u thoughtless moment he
destroyed his own identity. It's a trag-
