A Fine School.

st. Mary's academy for ladies, located
in this city and under the direction of
the Sisters, is one of the best educational
institutions on the coast. The building
is of brick, large and well ventilated.
Besides the regular studies, especial eff.
fort is made to instil into the minds of
the pupils desire to form their hearts
to virtue, and to fit them to be true and
noble women. Gratuitous lessons are
given in all kinds of plain and fancy
needle word, knitting, embroidery, etc.
Pupils will receive the same watchful
care that would be given them by con-
scIentious parents. 1t is in fact an ideal
Bhcool and pleasant home. Those who
have girls to send to school should write
to st. Mary's academy for terms. If.

Caprice of Fnshion.

a tan pique is certainly "chic" with a
deep, scant and stiff apron fiounce on
the skirt, edged by two rows of mar
row black velvet ribbon and box
plated blouse, held by black velvet
belt.
Some lace-trimmed gowns have lace
sashes tying behind on one side, with
long ends, making a pretty effect over
4 colored bodice. UnEned lace sleeves
are another novelty belonging to the
summer, and are fastened to both silk
and cotton gowns.
The long lace line in front is liked
now, and the pointed manner of ar
ranging belt carries out this idea.
Tailor-made Jacket suits are palmer
in regard to trimming than they were
during the winter. They often have
10 garniture at all, save the wide straps
on the seams, although the severely
plain suits arc generally built of mot
tied or checked cloths. Outside of
tailor-made suits it is bit original to
wear an untrimned gown.-Chicago

Ladies' Home Journal, there is buried
German countess who denied the
existence of God and Iidiculed the idea
of the resurrection. To further show
her contempt for Christianity she or
dered that on her death her grave
should be built up Of solid masonry
and covered by large stones bound to-
gether by iron clamps. On this tomb
was engraved her defiant challenge
that through eternity this tomb should
never be disturbed. But one day the
seed from some tree, either blown BY
the wind or carried by bird, became
lodged in a small crevice of the tomb,
where soon it sprouted and began to
grow. And then, as if nature had
seemed to mock the naughty infideI,
she quietly extended the delicate root
of that Seeding under the massive
blocks of stone, and slowly raised them
from their place. And now, although
scarce four generations are passed

Penurious War Dcpnrtment

Live heroes. when they serve in the
ranks, can always count on shabby
treatment from the British authorities.
When the transport ship Warren Hast
1ngs, with 1,246 souls on board, went
ashore on the rocks of the island of Re-
union last January, in a pitch dark
night, with heavy sea running. all
England rang with the praise of the
bravery and discipline of the troops,
VINO stood drawn up in companies on
the deck till the women and children
were saved and then went ashore as
they were told off. Many of the officers
were then mentioned in orders and
some were promoted. The soldiers and
their families lost all their baggage.
After six months the war department.
allows each man six dollars to renew
his kit and each family $3.50 as com
pensation for lost property.

perhaps fatal bilious fevers. No medi-

Who Have Stacks of Wealth.
Out in Cripple Creek the gambling
houses are running in every saloon,
\says the Nebraska State Journal
F'hey are huge, gilded affairs, where the
hard-working miners, after coming
from their eight-hour shifts, go to while
away their time and money instead of
thinking of home and mother and fiji
ing their socks with money TO pay OF
bthe mortgages on the farms l;acil Ecr4c
The men stand five and ST, deep be-
hind the wheels watching the players as
they risk their money. the less adven-
furious hardly having the courage to
make the play, till, having seen some
man get a winner, they. too, step up
and bet on the black or the red. On
the tables are stacked piles OF silver
coin and gold eagles. and the opera
tors of the machines every little while
take occasion to show that tbe game
is backed by much more thar the thou
sand or so that is in sight by displaying
stack of bills in Il receptacle behind
the table where the notes are thrown
when paid in, with a kind Of reckless
abandon that is quite taking.
At other tables policy wheel Will
be running, with so many drawings a
day. In another corner of the room a
crowd of men win be shooting craps,
large and intensely absorbed crowd
witnessing the play at each place. Off
at one side stud poker game is run
ming. The old miners seem to favor
this game particularly. and their griz-
zled features show the intensity of their
interest as the chips come and go.
