Ii is rumored that the Danish de-
tective from Minneapolis, who has
been working on the Frank Richard.
son case, has unraveled the mystery of
Richardson's sudden disappearance on
August 4, 1896. The story goes that
the detective was at Atlantic Tuesday
with man he has been shadowing
and that the subject got drunk and
contided to the detective that himself
and three other persons near the Shell
by county line murdered Richardson
and placed the body in a molasses
barrel where it remained until two
weeks ago when they took the body
from the barrel and buried it in a
slough. If the story is correct the
guilty parties are now under arrest.

Homeless, homeless, how sad is that word,
To me a much sadder one never was heard
To think in all this wide world there is no homo
for me,
The realization of it, causes me much sorrow
to see.
If for a week with some ono Imay stay
1 soon then again must be up and and away;
But where to go next surely don't know,
There is none but God knows the depth of my
woe.
Sometimes my poor heart scoms almost ready
to break,
Butt try to bear it patiently for the dear
Saviors sake:
Knowing assuredly he can fully sympathi1e
with me,
For when he was on earth the same sorrow he
did see.
| Foxes have their holes, birds of air have
their nest" he said.
| But the Son of man hath nowhere to lay his
head"
! But now he has gone to prepare us each home,
| One in which no sin OF sorrow ever can come.
| No parting or death in that home we'll ever see
Nothing but peace and happiness through all
| eternity,
| live but love Jesus all things work together
for our good.
Though thorny our path and homeless our lot,
We suffer nothing here, that our Saviour
But when ali our troubles and trials are DER.
| Well forever be with Jesus to be homeless NO
more.

if not quite, gone out Of fashion In the
sixteenth century. Apart from the
panels entirely devoted to Europeans,
many others representing natives, have
small figures or busts Of Europeans
as adjuncts, the long straight hair and
civilized headgear being really dis
tinguishable. Another class of figures
evidently belongs to some Semitic tribe,
and may be intended for Arabs, though
in one case at least, the dress ap-
proaches very nearly to that of the
European figures. All of these have
conspicuously long and straight hair
and curious head dresses, which, with
their weapons, may ultimately serve to
identity them. Among the figures Of
natives are some which are deserving
of special mention, notably one type in
which the figure, which otherwise re-
| sembles the rest, has IN place of legs
two snakes, the heads of which curve
upwards on either side, recalling in a
striking manner the monstrous figures
found upon Gnostic gems.

4 OUEER QUESTION.

When there is a happy wedding, a
quiet wedding, a pleasant home we'd
ding, a wedding at high noon, or sever
al other kinds of weddings, the talk is
that two are made one. Sometimes the
two stay one, after the great question,
Which one? has been struggled with
and answered. But often the two do
not stay one. Then there is separation
or divorce, and more questions arise.
One of the most interesting questions
that have lately arisen from the in
compatibility of two who should have
been one is up in Baltimore. About
three years ago the two were made one
with much flourish and f1ummery 1t
really looked as if they intended to
stay one, but they soon became two and
are now in court asking to have their
twoness legally recognized. They are
also asking for decision concerning
the ownership of the wedding presents
which presents were, of course, given
under the theory that the two were
one and one for keeps. Now the I'M
happy husband says the wedding
presents are his and the unhappy wife
says they are hers, and each is deter
mined to have them, not, of course, for
their intrinsic value, but as reminders
Of a happy past. The lawyers are puz-
zled, and say there is nothing in the
books that will solve the problem and
the unhappy wife says that man who
will claim the ownership of wedding
gifts is too mean to live.
Probably most members of the great
outside jury who sit on this curious
case will give Their votes in favor of
the unhappy wife. Wedding gifts are
not usually intended to do the man in
the case much good, and very few of
| them would be given on his account
| They are intended as kind of reward
for woman who stoops to bless a man
by marrying him. And any woman
who is kind and condescending enough
to do that should be sure of retaining
at least that reward.

THE PERILS OF POSTERS

An eminent scientist has been telling
the Sanitary Congress that sensational
theatrical posters are highly detrimen-
tai to the moral health of the COM
munity. 1t seems that they induce
initiative actions. The argument APP
pears to be that a man sees on the wall
pictorial, representation of a murder
scene in a thrilling melodrama and
rushes home to cut his wife's throat or
throw her out of the window. On the
same principle suppose, when he
sees a picture of an OK in q teacup, he
will hasten to the nearest public house
and endeavor to discover a man in 81
quart pot. We shall be told next that
the pictures of fat babies which advert

ART IN BENIN.

The remarkable collection Of bronze
or brass plaques, more than three hun
bred in number, brought from Africa
by the Benin expedition, and now on
exhibition in the British Museum, is
attracting much attention. All sorts Of
strange carvings, in wood and ivory
have been acquired, from time to time
by traders on the west coast of Africa,
and it is now known that all these, too
came from Benin. The subjects repre-
scented in the British Museum collection
consist principally of human figures,
but there are also animals, fishes, and
plants, and in one case building is
seen. The human figures are mainly
those of chiefs and their attendants,
musicians, and others, some on horse
back, others seated on stools, in all
varieties of Benin costume and armed
with sword and shield or with spears.
| But the most interesting figures are of
men who are not negroes, but without
doubt Europeans in the costume of the
sixteenth century. The best of these
shows a European sportsman with his
dog and matchbox gun, the match Of
which is shown in the casting with

A GOOD DAY.

The agile and thorough collectors of
gifts for the orphans yesterday found
the good people of New Haven quite
as generous as usual, and the total
value of the gifts was even somewhat
larger than last years total Perhaps
this indicates an increase in prosperity.
1t certainly indicates an increase in
prosperity for the orphans, and an in
crease in encouragement for those who
have the care of them. Orphans Day
is one of New Ravens best institutions
and while it might be well in some
ways If our orphan asylums were so
endowed that their managers would not
need to call upon the general public
for help it is a good thing that the pub
lie is annually stirred to pity and gen
erosity by Orphans Day.

curled, waved and puffed. In this way
the head will be loosely dressed and the
effect required will be secured
1t seems accepted that the outline of
the head at The back must not be fol-

but where the hair is thin the outline
must be hidden by fluffed out locks.
Fluff does not mean what 1t used to;
mere dryness and feathery lightness

One woman with a mere handful of

too great sacrifice anyhow.

FASHION NOTES.
To Make Scant Locks Beautiful,

All fashions in hair dressing that
have any force favor women whose
locks are abundant and fine, so Golf
fure that is suited to most dressy occa-
sions and yet that does not demand a
lot of hair, should be OF especial inter-
est. Such an arrangement is that the
artist puts here. 1t is typical of what
the women of scant locks must do; the
curling irons are her redress, and what
little hair there is must be made to
spread as loosely as possible. Cut into
different available lengths all the hair
except just enough to make one loop,
