TARoY REWARDS OF GENIUS.

20lee'0 Widow and 1t10 Greatest Paint.
Ing. 'Dseth and tho Woodcutter." &5
A few days ago, writes the Paris cor-
respondent Of tho Philadelphia Tele-
graph, there passed away from .
troublons life the widow Of the great
artist, Jean Baptiste Francois Millet.
Il is rather . commentary on tho
strange ways Of this world, tho fact
that the man whose picture, 'rAnge-
lus," brought 30 fabulously high .
price, sold that and many other mas
terpieces for sums ranging from fifty
to two hundred dollars apiece, and
after toiling miserably and hopelessly
in the vain effort to earn money enough
to keep the wolf from his shabby door
suddenly broke down under the strain
and died of q malady brought on by
anxiety and privation, not knowing
that his fame would speedily be lauded
to the skies.
His family survived to see tho apo
theosis Of his glory; but whether tho
fact of ''The Angelus" bringing at a sale
over one hundred thousand dollars con-
soled the artists widow for the fact
that, within a week after this amount
of money had been paid for her hus-
bands work, shes herself, then in the
depths of poverty, was elected from her
little house at Barbizon by the fore
closure of mortgage for two thousand
dollars and, had it not been for the
charity of her son-in-law, would have
been reduced to begging her bread, 10

the celebrated millionaire tailor, Lau-

laid one bony hand on the shoulder Of

GREAT SNAKE STORY.

Reptile Marked All Over with Bible Char.
scters from the Book Of Genesis.
Very few readers ever dream that
there is any single piece Of reading
matter in the world which lives,
breathes and circulates on it's own in
vidual account, says London Answers
But anyone who will take the
trouble to walk into certain shop In
Piccadilly, not far from the Egyptian
hall, will be rewarded by seeing a spe-
,cies of snake, known as the lemon boa,
with the whole of the third chapter OF
Genesis tattooed on its body. The rep
tile is only lent for exhibition, but the
gentleman who purchased it states that
on board the South American sailing
vessel, the scene of this remarkable
tattooing, it is a common diversion
among the sailors to capture live
snakes, extract their fangs and cover
the body with any number Of inscrip-
lions, legends and devices, and then
dispose of the reptiles at the first port.
Few Of the purchasers, however, care
to have charge of live snakes-be they
ever so harmless-so it is customary to
either stuff these latter with fine straw
and putty, or else immense them in
alcohol, although this process COM
monty has the effect of taking all the
brilliancy out Of the pigments en-
ployed.
In the case of long and extremely
fine inscriptions, alcohol, however,
shows up and preserves these to great
advantage. A sailor spent siz months
in tattooing one of the Sketches by
Boz" containing four thousand five
hundred and twenty words, upon tho
skin of rattlesnake, which he after
ward sold to q gentleman for eight

THE DEAL DROPPED.

Said the Hill-Adams Combine VIII Soon
Bo Omcislly Declared on
M1NNEAPoL1s, Aug. ia Tacoma
special to the Tribune says: It is stat
cd here in Northern Pacific circles that
the Hill-Adams plan to reorganize the
Northern Pacific is positively of. and
that an authoritative statement to that
effect will be made in New York very
soon. High officials say the present
earnings are sufficient to meet the in
terest on the first, second and third
mortgage bonds, and that If the earn
ings continue to increase at the present
rate they will be sufficient within q
year to pay the interest on the entire
present. bonded ndebtedness. This fact,
they say, has been fully explained to
J. Pierpont Morgan and Mr.. Adams,
with the result that their views have
undergone q change. It is understood
that Morgan approved the first plan,
which had to be dropped. He has
since expressed q Willingness to join in
a similar plan if it could be devised,
but has not committed himself to the
third company" project as it stands.
Adams is said to hold similar views.
It is believed that within two weeks
Hills plan will be finally rejected and
steps taken to form an independent re-
organization.
T The road is now earning money at
the rate Of $6,o00,0OO net per year,
while between %, 900, 600 and Sc, OOO,-
600 would pay the interest on the en-
tire bonded debt. 55.
Northern Pacific men claim to be-
ieve that Hills chief object is to get
possession Of the Northern Pacific's
splendid coast terminal system. 81

retain all the dust there is going, while the
former shed at least a portion of 1t, besides
being better inpoint of wear. 1t is mis-
take to use too heavy goods, even for riding
in cold weather. 1t is better to secure cx-
ira warmth by means of thicker under
wear than to increase the weight of tho
outer attire.
Poplin and alpaca are worn this year
and are eminently desirable on account of
their lightness, stiffness (and therefore
suitability TO the present fiaring mode) and
dustproof qualities. For dust cloaks and
travelling gowns they are most satisfactory,
and as they are to be obtained in many
grades they are within everybody's scope.
The travelling costume shown in the
sketch Is of French blue poplin. The skirt,
which is plain, has very full godets. The
blouse bodice Is decorated with small gold
buttons. The draped collar is Of poplin,
while the belt is of plaid silk. The gigot
sleeves are tucked at the top and fastened
at the wrists with gold buttons. Batiste
collar and cuffs are worn. The hat Is Of
straw trimmed with hortensias and blu,
and yellow glaoe ribbon.

ntors are usually strong, robust women,
while many Of the patients are slender and
weakly, there would seem to be plausible
ity in this objection.
There are many curious superstitiOns
connected with articles Of wearing apparel.
1t Is considered unlucky to pick up an Old
glove. A person who wears out the sole OF
his shoe in the center is born to be rich.
To open an umbrella in the house is I'M
lucky. For rats or mice to gnaw clothing
is regarded as unlucky-as il well may be.
A person who hes his clothes mended
while they are upon him will be the victim
of untruthful reports. 1t is an evil omen
to break u shoestring when starting upon
journey. To put on garment wrong
side out is unlucky.
It used to be law in dress that widows
who remarked should not wear white, but
the idea Of its appropriateness seems to
be gradually disappearing, and now fro
Quently widows wear white, decorated
with some color.
The pretty gown illustrated by today's
sketch Is OF black not with applications of
white lace. Tho full skirt is hung over a
fashionably cut skirt of black faille and is
adorned with lace butterflies and u border
of lace insertion forming braid pattern.
The blouse corsage, of net over black silk,
forms a large plait in front, which extends
to the throat over a yoke of bluct faillc.
The wrinkled collar and the girdlo arc Of
tho same tint, the latter closing at the left
side with chou and long ends. A large
butterfly is placed across the bosom, and
smaller ones dot the net of the immense
wrink led sleeves. The hat, of red straw,
Is trimmed with changcable bluet ribbon
and bluets in two tones.

There is new cycling skirt. Its chiof

Dress Superstitions.
So much stress is laid on the beneficial
effects Of massage that it may interest
women who cannot afford to employ pro-
fessional aid to know that many authori-
ties consider the best as well as the sim
plest and least expensive form OF mas
sage is to strike the surface of the body
Iharply with the open hands. The chief
objection is that the back and shoulders,
which are often the parts that need treat
ment most, cannot be reached by the indi-
vidual who owns them.
When any medical or hygienic theory at
tains the Dimensions of fad, there is usu-
ally something to be said upon the other
side. Complaints are made that profess

rough and even brutal in their treatment
of patients, doing positive harm instead Of
good by their manipulations. Asthe oper-
