A Costly Miter.

Bishop Francis Mostyn, who was last
year appointed to the newly created
Roman Catholic bishopric Of Wales, has
recently become the fortunate possessor
Of a inter which is said to surpass in
magnificence and in exquisite workman
ship anything Of the kind worn in
Great Britain for many centuries past.
Of white embroidered silk, richly Or
namented with gold, it is studded with
500 precious stones. The inter, which
is Gothic in design, bears on it's front
dove, symbolic Of the Holy Spirit, in
gold repousse work, encircled by garnets
and heart formed Of single carbuncle
Of large size, with jeweled rays. The
whole is surmounted by cross COM
posed Of 33 gems. On the back are the
figures Of the Welsh patron saints st.
David and st. Winifrid, beautifully
wrought in the Welsh colors and sur.
mounted by rubies, eneralds and pearls
At the apex appears the national m
blem, the Welsh harp, encircled b
topazes and aquamarines, which is y
exact copy of the ancient Ariandlwl
which tradition declares to have =
manned in the possession Of the Mostly
family from early centuries.

He looks at the gauge; but, a stranger to fear,
Away flies the train with the bold engineer.

Hide mountain and meadow, stream, valley
and plain.
No sound but ths sleet driving wind does he
hear,
But thinks not Of danger, the bold engineer

He glories in thinking his spirit is-gamel

A VERY HARD BLOW.
The Kansas Man Describes Cyclone That
Was Indeed a Wonder.

The gentleman from Kansas was con-
versing with the lady from New York at a
small kcttledrum, or bass drum, or some
thing like that, which is eyentuating four
or five times day and once or twice Oh
Sunday in the social circles of the capital,
and she was especially interested in the
meteorological movements incidental to the
picturesque and moving climate of the
Sunf1ower State.
"Your cyclones, she said in such ca
gerness that she almost twittered in her
speech, "are perfect wonder to me"
Yes m, - he responded, with the uncer-
tain and retiring manner of the west when
it confronts the east on its native heath,
"therc's good deal to 'em. Never seen
one, guess. Did your"
ssN0. But should dearly love to-"
He looked at her pityingly.
II guess you mean through telescope,
don't your" he said.
I'd love to see one anyway, SO long as
could only have the opportunity of seeing
it, she said, without recognizing or real
izing the irony Of his speech. "Tell me
something about them. Aren't they mag
nificent?"
They're powerful ma'am. The last
one that swept over our country killed rs
people right in one neighborhood, ma am,
and the very one where live"
Dreadful! Awful How did it hap
penn"
'fJust like they always do, ma am
mighty sudden. But this one was suddener
than usual and caught the people away
from their dugouts."
'Dugouts?" she questioned.
"Yes'm, dugouts You see, ma am, for
safety we dig holes in the ground, which
we run into and hide till the fury of the
storm is past In this way our lives are
saved dozens Of times every year. These
holes are sometimes like cistern, only
not so deep, and they haven't any lining
or anything in them. They're just holes
in the ground, that's all. Well, in my
neighborhood, where this last one was SO
fatal, guess there was about hundred
dugouts, and when the storm come it come
SO quick that before the people could get
to them the cyclone had blowed every darn
one Of them holes clean out of the ground
and over into the next county. OF course
that left the poor people without any pro
lection, and the wind done about as it
pleased with them"
"Couldn't they get them back agains"
asked the lady, as guileless and sympathetic
as women always are
"To be certainly, ma'am But you see
it couldn't be done in time to save the peo-
pie" And the gentleman from Kansas
seemed to show faint CULVER in his lip as
he turned away to hide his grief. Wash
