Tho Unlucky Op.l Ax.in.

The Pearl Bryan murder is noticed by
the jewelers.. Pearl wore an opal ring-so
1t Is said. There has always been some
thing unlucky about an opal, and every
young lady who has been dubious about
wearing one Is now more than convinced
Of the evil omen attached to this kind Of q
ring. One jeweler said Tuesday that more
than dozen persons had been to see him
within the last week. All had opal rings
and wanted to exchange them, saying they
were afraid to wear them since Pearl Bry-
an met such an unfortunate end. Gin

The Swiss army is complete in every

mary and commissariat departments be-
ing thoroughly organized, and this in
spite Of the fact that the average cost of
soldier is only 81 year. The first
line forces number an effective total Of
1877, GAO men; in the landwehr there
are $4,000 more, and in the landsturm
270, 900. Besides, owing to the encour-
agement given by the state to such in
situations as the Societies de Tir, nearly
every man in the country knows how to

BURIAL OF POPE Plus TX.
The Body Walled Up In Temporal
Tomb Until It Is Put In the Crypt.

The Body Walled Up In Temporary
Tomb Until 1t Is Put In the Crypt.
Few saw the scene which followed
when the good pope's body had lam
four days in state and was then placed
in its coffin at night, to be hoisted nigh
and swung noiselessly into the tempo
rary tomb above the small door on the
east side-that is, to the left of the
Chapel Of the Choir. 1t was for long
time the custom that each pope should
! lie there until his successor died, when
his body was removed to the monument
prepared for it in the meantime, and
the pope just dead was laid in the same
place.
The church was almost dark, and
| only in the Chapel of the Choir and that
of the Holy Sacrament, which are OPP
posite each other, a number of big wax
candles shed a yellow light. In the
niche over the door mason was still at
work, with tallow dip, clearly visible
from below. The triple collins stood be-
fore the altar in the Chapel of the Choir
Opposite, where the body still lay, the
Noble guards and the Swiss guards, in
their breastplates, kept watch with
drawn swords and halberds.
The Noble guards carried the bier on
their shoulders in solemn procession,
with chanting choir, ROBBED bishops and
tramping soldiers, round by the Comics
sion and across the church and lifted
the body into the coffin. The pope had
been very much beloved by all who were
near him, and more than one gray
haired prelate shed tears of genuine
grief that night.
In the coffin, in accordance with an
ancient custom, bag was placed CON
tanning 90 medals, one of gold, one OF
silver and one Of bronze for each OF the
31,years during which Pope Plus had
reigned, and a history of the pontii-
cate, written on parchment, was also
deposited at the feet of the body.
When the leaden coffin was soldered,
six seals were placed upon it, five by
cardinals and one by the archivist of the
Chapter of st. Peters. During the
whole ceremony the prothonotary apos-
tolio, the chancellor of the apostolic
chamber and the notary Of the Chapter
of st. Peters were busy, pen in hand,
writing down the detailed protocol of
the proceedings.
The last absolution was pronounced,
and the coffin in its outer case of elm
was slowly moved out and raised in
slings and gently swung into the niche.
The masons bricked up the opening in
the presence of cardinals and guards.
and long before midnight the marble
slab, carved to represent the side of
sarcophagus. was in its place with its
simple inscription, "Pius TX, P. M. -

New Attractions.
"HoW do you manage to find new
freaks and curiosities?" was the ques-
ton asked of the manager Of a travelling
show that had pitched its tent In
London suburb.
"Don't have to find them," was the
laconic response. "They find us. The
freak business is as regularly established
as any other and has its wholesale and
retail firms, travelling statesmen, brokers,
price lists, factories"-
"Factories?" queried the reporter,
aghast.
"Why, certainly, factories, of course.
The freak business is divided into about
three varieties-foreign, domestic and
fake
t'In the first class the collectors travel
all over the world in search of rarities,
but the very best freaks come from In
dia and the Malay peninsula In these
countries there are people who breed
freaks. They buy young children and
animals and deform them while their
bones are soft by all manners of means.
Then they are constantly on the outlook
for genuine natural freaks, and in those
lands the birth of freak occurs very
frequently. The headquarters of this
business Is at Singapore.
"Then there are any number of men
who devote themselves to the discover
ing and placing of freaks of all kinds
and varieties, and there is scarcely a
day. goes by that we do not receive
packages of photographs and illustrated
circulars from some freak merchant or
other.
''Of course there are the faxed freak
men--a perfect host in themselves If
the proprietor of some little show needs
an additional attraction and does not
have the money to hire something good
for, like everything else, freaks have
their price-he can get something for
little money that will serve his purpose.
"The real, genuine live freaks always
command high prices and travel all
over the world in order to exhibit them
selves. Most of them have regular routes
mapped out by their advance agents,
just like theatrical companies, and as
they only appear at place at long in
tervals they never get stale, and some
times make bigger hits on their second
or third appearance than on their first. "

When, in the old days of trouble be-

there occurred notable interview. 1t
was November. The weather was stormy
and dangerous for vessels and the gov
eminent was not agreed as to sending

Mr.. Pitt, who was in bed with govt,
was obliged to receive those who had
business with him in his chamber. This
room had two beds and no fire. The

denly, and, without taking off his cloak,
he buried himself in the other bed and
continued the conversation. He was
strongly opposed to risking the fleet in
the November gales. Mr.. Pitt was abso-
lutely resolved that it should put to sea,
and both argued the matter with much
warmth. 1t was the only warmth, in

TURNER, THE ARTIST.
Some Unfattering Pen Portraits of the
Great Master of Landscape.

Some Unaattering Pen Portraits of the
Great Master of Landscape.
On the whole, the portraits of Turner
in after life cannot be said to be salts
factory or convincing. Turner's was
doubtless q battling face, full of charac-
ter, which was difficult to seize without
caricature, showing little of the fine
spirit and poetical feeling which were
displayed in his works and becoming
coarser and redder as he advanced in
ife-a face that rejected oil attempts
ct idealization, at least in the hands OF
those who tried.
None of the written descriptions Of
him is very attractive: "a red Jewish
face, with staring blush gray eyes, the
smallest and dirtiest hands on record
his complexion was very coarse and
weather beaten; his cuticle that of a
stagecoachman or an old man-of-war's
boatswain" this, according to Thorn
bury, was the impression he made on
'less enthusiastic friends " Turner
had Ano, intelligent eyes, dark blue or
mazarine," said Mr.. Trimmer, his old
friend; 'but, as it is said of Swift's,
they were heavy rather than animat-
ed" Leslie writes "There was, in
fact. nothing elegant in his appearance
full Of elegance as he was in art. He
might have been taken for the captain
Of river steamer at first sight, but a
second would find far more in his face
than belongs to any ordinary mind. !"
Unfortunately no artist has recorded
that second" sight. Mr.. Watts, if he
had tried, might have done SO, but who
else?-Cosmo Monkhouse in Scribner's.
