NAPOLEON'S HAIR.
Florist Possesses a Lock of Hair of the
 Little Corporal.

ABILENE, Kan, Sept 16-A curi- ous relic has come to light here in the possession of c. H. Bagley, a florist, in a lock of the hair of tSae first Napoleon. It is of undoubted authenticity, and is probably the only bit of the dead en- peror now on this continent. MT. Bagley is native of the island of St. Helena, and his family has lived there for generations. His father was cap tain of the tomb for fifteen years pre- ceding the removal of the remains of the emperor to France
 His mother was friend of Mrs. Lowd, the nurse of Napoleon in his last illness, and when the Bagley fam fly left the island in 1860 she divided with her friend the choicest of her possessions. She had cut the lock from the head of the emperor on the night when he was lying in state after he had been dressed for burial It was done with the consent of General Bar trand out of respect for the attention the nurse had shown her distinguished patient
 About thirty hairs are in the lock, black with a brownish tinge, and they are sealed in a bottle.
 Along with them is bit of plaster from the room in which the emperor died and a piece of the coffin in which he lay. Mortar from the tomb and a tiny bit of wood from the willow tree that so long wept over the grave are also in the collection. Mir. Bagley was 17 years old when he left the island His sisters, all over 21 at that time have made affidavit to the conditions under which the lock came into the family, and this document is filed with the relics.

THE RESULT IN MAINE.
Indicates the Sentiment of the Great
 Northeastern States.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 16. - Chair man Babcock of the Republican con- gressional committee said yesterday: "nhe result of the election in Maine will be of very great value to all bus mess and financial interests at this time. It will restore confidence in financial circles throughout the world, ano no one can doubt that this vote in Maine indicates the sentiment of the great northeastern states where are large manufacturing and agricultural interests. The key of the situation in campaign is to determine which way the tide is setting and states whose people read and have intelligent voting population will. in my opinion, follow the lead set by Vermont and Maine.'

TRAMP TALE.
Perhaps It Pays to Be Good to the Wandering Willies.

WEST UNION. O., Sept. 1s.-About eleven years ago John Barton, a farm CT, who lives near here, was asked by a sick tramp for shelter and food and not only furnished both, but when the tramps illness developed into a five weeks spell, secured a physician and otherwise was kind to the unfortu- nate. The tramp went west on his re- covery. Recently Barton received a letter from J. P. Barker, said to be a Kansas City, Mo-, lawyer, that a man named Johnson who had died there, had left Barton one-tenth of his es- tate, amounting to $12,O00. Barton thinks the tramp and Johnson were identical.

CONNECTICUT FOR SILVER.
The Gold Democrats Surrender Un-
 conditionally to Silver.

NEW HAVEN, Ct., Sept. 16.-The greatest kind of a surprise came last night, the eve of the Democratic state convention, when the announcement was made that the gold standard com mitteemen of the Democratic state central committee, who had up to yes terday been in the majority, had un- conditionally resigned in favor of the Bryan wing.
 NEW HAVEN, Ct., Sept. 16.-The Democratic state convention which as- sembled today began business with every indication of being as memorable an occasion as has ever arisen in the political history of Connecticut. While the delegations numbering 800 are al most solidly for the endorsement of the Chicago platform and candidates, the whole machinery of the party was in the hands of the gold standard men. In anticipation of an upset, twelve mem- bers of the state central committee re- signed. It was rumored today before the convention that there would be a bolt of the gold standard men. Chair man David of the state central con- mittee called the convention to order William Kennedy, temporary chair man, aroused tumultous cheering by praising the Chicago platform and can didates. The temporary officers were made permanent. After Chairman Kennedy handed in the resolutions of the gold state committeeman, the del egates moved that they be accepted with the thanks of the convention. J

Vocal limitations by a Monerel.

While on trip through Moore county,
Tenn, recently l was the guest of the
Rev. Frank M. Downing, who lives in the
neighborhood of small settlement called
County Line. His family consists of him
self and wife and a small yellow dog,
which, / noticed, received an unusual
amount of care and attention. AS there
was nothing particularly attractive about
the dog, which was only mongrel cur,
rather wondered at their manifest affec-
ton, and one day inquired the reason for
1t. Mr. Downing, for answer, called
Bench, and placing him in a chair, com
manded him to Crow
My establishment was unbounded when
the dog gave perfect imitation of a
Shanghai rooster, and, without further
command, followed it with the neigh of a
horse, the lowing of COWS, the grunts and
squeaks of pigs, the whining of cats and
various noises incident to farm life. He
could give all the yelps of apack of hounds
in pursuit of "a fox, and in SO realistic
manner that you could scarcely help be-
lieving that hunt was in progress. Mr.
Downing said that nobody had taught the
animal, and that his initiative powers
were discovered by accident.
In appearance Bench is not progresses
ing, his color being a dirty yellow, his
hair coarse and wiry, his legs short, and
his body rather unwieldy. In his eyes
however, there CLEANS an intelligence al.

Russian Sable.

Russian sable owes its warmth aud
gloss to the fact that the longer hairs,
as we'll as the under fur, are absolutely
uniform in size ana section =" Thus,
the sable tell makes perfectly proper
toned natural pendant to the skin when
used as a cape, and the whole skin has
the unity of manufactured fabric, with
the other qualities only found in natural
fur. This pre-eminence of sable fur gives
it value in the most minute quantities..
The longer hairs, or surplus pieces of
the fur, are carefully saved and made
into the best paint brushes, which al
ways keep point" and in the color
mems catalogues the price of these
brushes is only approximately fixed and
varies according to the price of sables
Sealskin and beaver fur are not only
softer, but warmer than any of the furs
which, at first sight, seem to approach
them closely in color and texture. Hare
skin can be clipped and dyed SO as to re-
semble sealskin, but even if lined with
wool it does not approach the pelagic
fur in warmth or in luster. The wonder
full fineness Of the under fur of the seal
causes it to hold minute quantities of
air in the infinitely small interstices be-
tween the hairs, and while the air in
closed is warmed by contact with the
body the fur is a nonconductor to the
cold from without. London Spectator.

THE ART OF BEDMAKlNe.
II Housemaids Complain Now, Let Them
Ponder on This Picture.

Ponder on This Picture.
There are many women and maids who
think they know the art Of making bed
restful, ease giving, good dream produc-
ing bed, but should they compare their
efforts with the performance gone through
with making bed in the sixteenth CEN
fury they will thank the fates no such du-
ties are included in the catalogue of the
housekeeper's work.
A bed with it's coverings was fine and
usual thing to bequeath in those days.
No wonder. / should like to have one
myself.
This is the chronicle of making Henry
Wis bed:
First, yeoman or groom OF the
stuffs of the wardrobe must bring in the
stuffs, and the curtains be drawn, and a
gentleman usher must hold the curtains
together, the side curtains and the foot
curtains; then must two squires of the
body stand at the beds head, one on
either side and two yeomen of the crown
at the beds foot, and all the stuff be laid
at the beds feet on a carpet before the
yeomen of the stuff; then a yeoman of the
crown or of the chamber TO leap upon the
bed and roll him up and down and assay
the litter; the yeoman to lay down the
canvas again; then lay on the feather bed
and beat it we'll and make it even and
smooth; then shall yeoman of the stuff
take the fustian and take the assay and
cast it upon the bed; then shall squires for
the body lay hand thereon and yeoman
and lay it straight upon the bed without
any wrinkles, and the sheet in the same
wise; then take both the sheets and fustian
by the border and put them in under the
feather bed at both sides and at the feet
also; then lay on the other sheet and the
squires for the body to take the sheet and
gather it round in your hands on either
side the bed and go to the beds head
strike down the bed till they come down
twice or thrice and shake the sheet at the
beds feet and lay it fair and broad on the
bed; then lay on the other stuff of fustian
above; then take pair or two of martens
and lay above, but first take pair of
ermines and lay above and then lay on the
martens; then roll down the bed the space
of all ell; then let the yeoman take the
pillows and beat them well with their
hands and cast them up to the squires for
the body and let them lay them on the bed
as it pleased the kings grace; then take
head sheet of ermine and lay it above; |
then take the other side of the head sheet |
OF regneS ana lay IL over that; then the |
squires for the body to lay the bed again |
on top the pillows; then take sheet of |
regnes and cover the bed over and over,
every side; then the usher knits the cur
tains together and squire for the body to
cast holy water upon the bed"

this work the various men who performed |
it are ordered to partake of bread, ale and |
wine And they are to have all they want
of each.-Philadelphia Press.
