Madrid, February S.-This city was

one of them broke away from the gend-

him. The shooting was bitterly con-

The funeral of the victim took place

The government anticipated trouble.
and there was a strong display of gend-

afraid TO interfere with the procession
in any way lest they provoke a riot.

A SCULPTOR'S WIFE.
One of the most beautiful and charm
ing women that l saw at Mrs. Thur
ber's reception New Years Day was
the wife of one of the young American
sculptors who has just been decorated
with the red ribbon of the Legion of
Honor. She is a decided blonde. with
a great deal of color and dimples that
are fascinating.
Her gown was Of brown velvet with
full gOdet skirt. The waist, of
cream satin, was covered very full with
chiffon belted in by bands of jewelled
passementerie. The shoulders were
cut in TWO long points that fell epau-
lette fashinOn over very full sleeves Of
brown velvet and averted that con-
racJed effect that is so often felt when
the sleeves and waist are not of the
same material.
A tour de cOu. very high and full. of
cream Valencienness lace. with a nat
ural pink rosebud tucked in at the left
side, completed this charming toilet.

some skirts that have threatened to
make their appearance since early in
the fall. Skirts with fan-like plating
set in between the cores to give an
additional flare, but they are by no
means general. The full godet skirt
holds sway. Mrs. Warden Pell's re-
cent illness has kept her housed dur
ing this season of great gayety in Paris,
but her name is ever present at the
receptions, and the kindest inquiries
are made on all sides about her health.
White gloves are worn invariably,
and the newest have only the narrow
thread of white stitching at the back.
Here, where you can get them cleaned
for six cents, they certainly cannot be
rated as an extravaganza.
To slender hands white gloves are
dressy and becoming, but chubby,
bOad hands in tight white gloves are
objectionable, and dark suede ones are
permissible.

Efficacy of PRAYER.

1t had rained all day, and little Tom
my Bent, who was only 3 years old and
still IN dresses, had been kept in the
house in consequence. He was very anx-
ious that it should clear, so when he
went to bed he prayed at his mamma 4
knee: God. please make it clear and
fine and dry tomorrow SO that Tommy
can play III the park with Willie and

yently, because Tommy has been a
good boy all day and hasn't told any
stories-please God. =
His mother glanced out of the win
dow while his head was buried in her
lap, and, seeing that the stars were ont
and the moon was beaming, she LET his
prayer pass as he made it. The next
morning she observed with pleasure
that the heavens had carried out the
promise of the night before.
Tommy observed it too. He was radi-
ant, and as he sat over his milk and
hominy, his eyes glowing with mischief
and his checks radiant with health. he
gave an occasional low chuckle of con.
tent.

A cHllo,s WONDERFUL MEMORY.
She Is Able to Repeat. 1t Is Asserted.
Anything She Ever Heard.


| Anything She Ever Heard.
Baby Ethel Carroll of Oakland is a
human monograph. Every word of a
conversation-no matter how long
names. dates, figures and bits of oratory
of all degrees Of merit, songs and Jokes
| spoken IN her presence, she is able TO re.
call, word for word, even though it be
weeks and months after. At her age
for she is only 4 years old-much that
she hears no doubt is quite unintellici.
BILE to Ter. She simply repeats every-
thing from memory without knowing
aught Of the text Of her words. At the
Hotel Crellin, where she lives with her
parents, she is the idol and wonder Of
all who know her. for she is as pretty
as she is clever The first time that the
child showed her phenomenal trait was
at the age OF l. months. AT that time
she was taken to see one of Hoyt's plays
at the Marlborough theater. Upon re-
turning to her home she surprised every
one by repeating, word for word, one Of
the popular songs
From that time until now little Ethel
mas been q regular playgoer. Now, at
the age of 1, her memory has developed
SO remarkably that it is a common thing
for her after seeing new play to sing,
without a mistake or the least sign of
hesitation, song after song that she has
never heard before. She can also repeat
the lines of the play with wonderful
correctness The child has retentive
memory for names and dates. In spite
of the fact that large numbers Of people
see her daily, drawn by curiosity, She
never forgets tho name Of any one who
is introduced to her, and can tell even
the exact day when she first met them,
though it may be months after.
Recently her wonderful memory was
put to a severe test at a concert recital
in Oakland. After the performance she
was asked il she remembered certain
recitation on the programme remarkable
alike for its length and peculiar phras-
ing. She had never heard it before, but
with confident smile and certain en-
chanting carelossness Of manner she re-
cited the entire piece without break

now Hindoos Hoard Jewelry.

Never during its existence has India
been so rich in jewelry as now. The
people are always adding to their stock.
Savings FROM nearly all sources are dis
posed of in this way, and these savings
are being constantly made---often at the
expense Of clothing, sometimes at the
expense of greater necessaries of life.
The making and the storing away OF
wealth in this form is the national pc.
culiarity of the country.
Jewelry is regarded as the most stable
kind Of wealth, and fortunes are never
counted without estimating the value
Of the stock Of jewelry. 1t can always
be pledged or disposed Of. The market
for its sale is never closed and never
depressed. The most ignorant native
who wishes to sell a piece Of jewelry
knows its market value quite well. he
can scarcely be cheated.
Jewelry forms the greatest factor in
matrimOny. The most lcwly bride has
her strilhan, which is occasionally equal
in value to FIVE years income Of the
bridegroom. There is often a scarcity Of
clothing, sometimes q scarcity Of cook
ing pots generally not particle Of
furniture. but nearly always stock Of
iewelry. The wife that has no jcwelry
possesses nothing else. She cannot be
robbed. The family that does not have
jewelry is absolutely INDECENT.
One cf the greatest boasts Of the jew
elry owner is that his boards cannot be
taxed. a man may own jcwelry valued
at lakh Of rupees, and pay no income
tax. This is a source of great satisfac-
ton. JewelTy yields no recurring in
come, but it is priced more than govern
ment paper. If it never increases it
never diminishcs, is national saying,
common among men and women alike
No native marriage, except among the
most impoverished, takes place without

Portrait Painting.

The modern practice Of having por.
traits of individuals seems to have
sprung up naturally enough with the
popularity Of easel pictures, aud this
again was mich Influenced by the in.
PRODUCTION Of oil painting. Whether
Antonello of Messina really acquired
the art from the Van Eyeks or from Lu-
cas- of Leyden, as some have con1ecturcd.
is very doubtful, but it was certainly
he who introduced tho new art process
into Venice, whence it spread all over
| Italy.
We have now como to the full devel-
opmsnt of the art Of painting that sprang
up toward the close of the fifteenth cen
tury, and which was chiefly embodied
| IN four great lnen--Leonardo Raphael
Michael Angelo and Titan All Of these
were great portrait painters in the true
sense Of the term, with the exception OF
Michael Angelo, who seldom contie.
seended TO easel pictures and who never
worked in OH.
Tho great advance made by the six
teenth century painters over thc pre-
raphaelites was hi the much fuller
utilization Of tho resources Of chiaros.
euro Up to this time the colors used
were mostly clear and light, and only
so much shading was introduced as was
necessary to give relief to the figures.
The value Of shadow in itself was hardly
appreciated--in fact. the whole ooncep-
ton Of painting was 10 show everything
as far as possible in full light
The great inaoyator In this matter
was Leonardo. Being, as he was, as
much man Of science as painter. the
problems Of light and shade interested
him in both capacities. and &c inyesti-
gated them in something Of the modern
spirit By the aid CT the knowledge tiias
acquired he succeeded in giving to his
| figures rounduess and relief that had
been hitherto unknown. In fact, he car
ried it so far that they arc sometimes
overmodeled. - Nineteenth Century.
