Tea Tables and Tea Trays.

The most approved tea table this sea-
son is square-two wooden trays mount
ed on four spindle legs The upper tray
has an oval aperture at either end, so
that it can be carried across a room with
ease. Such tables are to be found span
new at the furniture warehouses, but
those that are to be picked up at the
bric-a brao shops are valued much more
highly. They are not designed for their
present use, of course, and are, in point
of fact. queridors of the latter part of
the last century. Some pretty trays for

width, unless it is to be worn with a
very small bonnet, and yard long. so
that it may be gathered up in generous
folds over the hat brim and pinned-a
veil should never be tied-well up at
the back of the hat. A better fit and a
prettier effect are given by little cluster
of gathers directly in the middle of the
front 1t is to be hoped that women
will some time learn that wells figured
with sprigs, or indeed anything but IN
obtrusive dots, are never becoming and

MISS KATE NJ POWER. Miss Power is
the daughter of Colonel J. L. Power OF
Jackson, Miss, the veteran editor of
The Clarion, which for many years has
been the official paper of the state of
Mississippi. Colonel Power was ambi-
tious to become secretary Of state. There
were two other candidates in the field,
and hot campaign lay between him
and the goal Of his ambition.
Early in the campaign Colonel Power
was taken seriously ILL., He managed to
direct his canvass for few days from
his bedside, but steadily grew worse, so
it was impossible for him to do any
thing toward securing the nomination.
His prospect Of getting the office seemed
hopeless. His family feared that in his
weakened condition if he were defeated
his life would pay the penalty. 1t was
then that his brave daughter came to
the front and took charge of his waning
canvass and heroically carried it to a
successful termination. She had lived
in the air of politics for years, as Jack
son is a city of politicians, and had
been for time ON the staff of The Clar-
ion. She began by writing personal
letters to all of Colonel Powers and her
own friends, announcing his illness and
that she was Ill charge of his canvass.
Then followed addresses to the men of
Mississippi, published in many of the
papers of the state, and finally she made
a personal canvass among the voters in
nearly all the counties, showing the tact
and shrewdness of veteran campaigner
She directed the course of her fathers
delegates in the convention and won
the campaign. The browning marvel is
that Miss Power is strong antisufra-
gist.
Miss Power is a typical daughter of
the south. She is rather tall, with black
hair and large, lustrous chestnut brown
eyes, Swallowed by long dark lashes, and
is an accomplished and attractive young
woman. She is the editor of review"
the only one i'll the gulf states pub
lished by a woman.

Michael Angelo was fondest of the
books of Moses and the psalms of
David.
Da Vinci read Pindar and thought
him the noblest poet who ever wrote in
any language.
Landseer was student of anatomy
and zoology, and made collections of
books on these subjects
Vandyke, the painter, was fond Of
the "Decameron, and often in CONVEX
sation quoted from its pages.
David, the French historical painter,
was a student of French history to the
exclusion of almost all other reading.
Tolstoi is said to have a large library
Of sociology and to read attentively any
book bearing on some new social fad.
Addison's specially was the history Of
medals and coins, and he eagerly pc
rused anything treating of this subject.
Shakespeare must have been an omniv-
orous reader, for his plays show odds
and ends of learning gathered from ev
cry quarter.
George liked the German folklore
tales, but hated the trouble of reading
them. He usually preferred to have
them told in the form of anecdotes.
Burke always prepared for a speech
by reading everything he could find
bearing on the subject on which he was
to speak. He said that he generally read
with business purpose.
Gibbon read nothing that did not
have hearing ON his history, but every
thing he could find that. even remotely,
had reference to his work. He said he
had no time for miscellaneous reading.

MARRIAGE IN KOREA.
A Simple Ceremony, but With It Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.

a Simple ceremony, out WIN HI Comes
the Dignity of Manhood.
Korean girls, according to Mr.. H. S.
Saunderson, after enjoying freedom till
they are 8 years old, are consigned to
the women's quarters, where they live
in seclusion till they are married at 16
or II years. After marriage the woman
is allowed to see no man but her hus-
band. The boys, on the other hand, are
taught that it is undignified for them to
enter the women's part of the house.
They never see their brides till the we'd
ding day, all having been arranged for
them, often when both bride and groom
are infants.
The marriage ceremony is very sim
pie. The bride and bridegroom invite
their most intimate friends to assist
them in dressing their hair in the man
ner befitting their new estate. Then the
bridegroom mounts a white pony, which
is led by two servants, while two others
on either side support the rider in his
saddle. Thus he proceeds to the BRIDES
house, accompanied by his relatives. At
their destination they find a pavilion
erected in the courtyard of the house, in
which the bride and her relatives are
awaiting their arrival. A goose (the
Korean symbol of fidelity, which the
bridegroom brings with him, is then
produced.
The bride, who has to cover her face
with her long sleeves, and the BRIDE
groom then bow to each other until
their heads almost touch the ground.
This they do three or four times and are
then man and wife. A loving cup is
passed round, and then the bride is
taken off to the women's apartments of
her husband S home, where she is looked
after by her mother and mother-in- law,
while the groom entertains his friends.
The husband must maintain his wife
properly and treat her with respect.
Marriage is the great event in Ko-
rem's life, for he then attains mans
estate. Before marriage, no matter how
old he may be, he is treated as a boy,
and has to maintain deferential atti-
tude toward the married men, even
though they be only half his age.-Pop-

sAALsec's RUINS.
They Are the Grandest Monuments Of the
Past In the Orient.

They Are the Grandest Monuments Of the
Past In the Orient.
The ruins of Baalbec, the ancieps
metropolis of Syria, especially those ON
the platform" where the temples stood,
are the grandest i'll the orient The
platform referred to above and upon
which the largest of the famous Baalbec
temples were erected is an artificial
mound about so feet higher fhan the
surrounding plain, which gave room for
immense vaults under the gigantic
structures which in ancient times graced
the wonderful city of the east. -
"a good idea of the immensely of
these ruined temples may be gained
when it is known that there are several
stones in what remains of their founda-
tions which are So feet long. Is feet
wide and 10 feet thick, and what is
still more remarkable some of these
giant blocks of limestone were raised to
height of 20 feet from the ground.
Three temples formerly stood upon the
artificial platform-the Temple of the
Sun, the Temple of Jupiter and the
great circular temple. The first was 900
feet long by 100 broad and was sur
rounded by Corinthian columns of gran
lite rs feet high and feet 8 inches in
diameter. Six only of these immense
columns now remain standing The
ruins of the Temple of Jupiter stand on
a portion of the artificial mound some
10 feet lower than that upon which
those of the Temple of the Sun are now
scattered about. Its dimensions were
originally $50 by 1870. The circular
ruin, almost as imposing as either of
the two whose dimensions are given
above, is supposed to have been the
chief seat of the sun worshipers of very
ancient times. The gigantic blocks of
stone which contributed toward forming
the graceful outlines of this once most
famous circular temple were SO scatter
ed about by the earthquakes of 822, 975
and 1859 that it's dimensions in feet
cannot be accurately given. These three
temples and the platform upon which
they were erected were once surrounded
by wall which was wonder within
itself, many of the separate blocks which
formed it being 30 feet long, 10 feet

HIS HEAD SPLIT OPEN
A Brskebeam Tourist Meets With . Serious
Accident

Yesterday afternoon on Southern Pa
cific train Max Bevoor was brought to
this city from Palmdale in charge of
Constable Dowler. Revoor is a cook,
q years old, and has been in Los Angeles
about two weeks. He left the other day
and started to beat his way to Seattle,
where he has relatives. He had got as
far as the small station of Vincent.
about sixty miles up the road, end at
o'clock yesterday morning attempted to
board cattle car in moving freight
train. He missed his footing and was
thrown heavily to the ground.
BY scratch he missed going under
the wheels, and in fact one of his feet was
caught in such u manner that one toe
was crushed and the shoe completely
torn off. His head struck tie, cutting
q terrible cash six inches long and rem
dering him unconscious. None of the
trainmen saw him fall and he lay by the
side of the track until helper engine in
charge of Charley Hammond came along
and picked him up. He was taken to
Palmdale on the engine and later in the
day put on the train for this city.
The county hospital ambulance was
called and Bevoor removed to that inSti-
tuition. He had close call, first from
being crushed under the wheels, and sec
ond from bleeding to death, as his head
was so severely gashed that the hemor-
rhage was for a time uncontrollable. He
is now doing well and will probably re-
cover.
