sty lish collars of fur that the average
woman will put her money into one
of them and freeze in it all winter,
because there can't be any warmth
in them, pretty as they are. The
only safely useful cape is one that
comes below the elbows. and even
that is not really warm, but it will
do. Ofcourse, the extreme flute and
flare of the correct cape adds to it's
breeziness, for every wind is literally
invited under the scallops. The
collar must be very high and FIVE

the mass of fat presented, the blood is not

A prontable Investment.

1t isn't always that o woman can afford
to forego the quality of distinction in dress.
They are telling of q man who died lately
and left as a widow a young woman who
had formerly been his cook. She was a
goOd-looking and intelligent girl, it is said,
but he paid no attention to her SO long as he
saw her only in kitchen attire. But she
saved up two or three months wages, in
vested the money in the handsome and be-
coming costume of a lady, carefully arrayed
herself in it for al ostensible trip to the
city, and then managed to show herself in
that improved guise to her employer. She
was no longer a mere servant in calico. She
transferred into q fine, handsome lady.
They wore married within a month, andnow
she Is a widow with a fortune.

An Experts Account of the Reptiles OF
the United States.
In this country there are four different
species of ~rattlesnake, the ground, or black
rattlesnake, the Florida species, the mount
ain serpent and that of the Staked Plains,
says Stephen j. Wilcox in the st. Louis
Post Dispatch. The r%attlesnake found east
of the Mississippi and the wooded district
Just west OF that river, is essentially the
Same as the Florida species, although some.
times classed as a separate variety. OF all
those the Staked Plains rattlesnake is the
largest, most active and most dangerous.
Six feet is not an unusual length, while
seven foot snakes have on several occasions
been killed. These serpents measure some
times ten inches round the body, and re-
coveries from their venom are very rare.
The Florida rattlesnake comes next in size,
while the short, stumpy ground snake,
scarcely ever more than three feet long,
is the least vcnomous.
But three other venomous ~serpents are
found in this country, the c%opperhead, the
moccasin, land and water, and a small and
very rare snake found in Arizona, which is
considered the most deadly Of all This
Stake lies in the dust, and strikes like a
Fash of lightning at any thing that ap
breaches. A peculiar fact about this snake
Is that it is nearly completely blind, and has
the keencst hearing Of any snake known.
These reptiles are very rare, and but half a
dozen specimens are found in any OF our
museums. .

spiders, nearly all of the scorpions, and a
few species of centipedes are poisonous, but

More iureign complications for Mr.
Cleveland and Secretary Gresham Ia
get themselves tangled up in. This
week has added several complications
with foreign countries. in addition to
those already existing on account of
Determinations by Germany. France
and several other smaller European
nations against American products. II
is true that with a clear headed presi-
dent and secretary of state there
would be no serious trouble with these
new complications, but The laundering
made by the present administration in
dealing with the foreign policy of this
government, if it can truly he said to
have had such a thing slice March, 4th.
1898, has prepared the country to look
for the wrong, rather than the right
thing from il, in foreign as well as do
nestle matters.
The first and most important of the
new complications arises from a Span
lsh warshlp firing on a U. :. mail
steamer, the Alliance, which was pass
ing neal the coast of Cuba on ITS way
from Colon to New York. Already
the Spanish minister has assured the
state department of bis belief that il
was done by mistake and that Spain
will apologize if this country, after in
vestigatIon, thinks it proper. The
next complication is in connection
with the protest of the English en-
bassador against the shooting of an Of
icer of an English steamer during the
riots at New Orleans, and the last
with the demand of the Italian embas-
sador that protection be given the
Italians in the United States and that
satisfaction be given for the assassi-
nation Of Italians at Wanesburg, Colo
RADIO. 1t largely depends on LII. Cleve-
land and Secretary Gresham what
comes of these things.
Secretary Herbert is beginning to
bear a great deal of tie adverse criti-
cisms which have been leyeled at him
from all sections because he has only
designated to naval vessels, the San
Francisco and the Marblehead, 10 par
ticlpate in the ceremonies attendant
upon the opening of the Baltic and
North Sea canal by the Emperor of
Germany, but he is obstinate. and al
though he admits the importance of
the event he refuses to change his origi
nal order. Naval aficers are greatly
chagnned. They point out that all the
maritime nations will be strongly re-
presented, and that commercial in
stinct, not to mention national pride,
should have been strong enough to
have sent at least a half dozen of the
finest ships in the navy to take part in
the opening.
The Spanish minister has had a ONE
what queer experience recently, He
received letters from several alleged
manufacturers of dynamite and other
high explosives asking him TO purchase
explosives for use Of The Spanish army
in Cuba, and when lie declined he re-
letters notifying him that if he
did not at once purchase the explosives
they would gratituitously send to the
insurgents in Cuba to lie used in de-
stroying Spaniards and Spanish pro-
property, Opinion is divided as to
whether the letters were the work of a
crank or a professional b~lackmailer.
Senior Muruaga, the minister, declares
it is immaterial to him which, as
he pays no attention to them.

A ROYAL SCANDAL.

Rather q Bad Breakup Between the Primes
of Waldemar and His Wife.
1t is impossible for newspapers any
longer to ignore the scandal which has
been talked about in every court in
Europe for months past. The persons
most affected are Prince Waldemar of
Denmark and his wife, born Princess
Marie of Orleans. The couple were mar
ried in 1885 and have three children.
In the last year or two there have been
frequent quarrels. The pair are now
apart, the prince remaining with hi9
children in Copenhagen and the prin-
cess staying with some members Of her
family in France. If the friends and
relatives do not succeed in reconciling
the young people, there will be an &C.
ton for divorce.
The princess accuses her husband Of
unfaithfulness, and it is alleged against
her that her eccentricities have made
her name byword in Denmark. 1t iS
asserted that she is habitual taker Of
morphine and an excessive smoker of
cigarettes, even in the public streets;
that she has shown an absurd and i'm
prudent partiality for the firemen of
Copenhagen and is constantly attending
confagrations and distributing cigars
and cigarettes among the officers and or
dering liquor for the men, and that she
was SO lacking in good taste as to have
herself photographed in fireman's uni
form, with the result that copies of that
photograph are to be found in all the
fire stations.
Furthermore, the princess is accused
of having upon more than one occasion
insulted the late Czar Alexander, and
also her mother.in-law, Queen Louise,

entire family Such is the husband 3

In thirsty beast and bid and mans behoof;
Oh, but TO listen and to hear agaiu,

Barren, bald and pitiless!
Through all ages baleful moons
Glared upon thy whited dupes.
And malignant, wrathful suns
FierCely drank they streamless runs

Piercing burnt, unweeping skies
With its awful monodles.
Not flower lifts its head
Where the emigrant lies dead,
Not living creature calls
Where the Gila monster crawlg,
Hot and hideous as the sun
To the dead mans skeleton.
But the desert and the dead,

And the blazing, seething air.
And the dread mil age are there.
