GENERAL ALGER's DAUGHTER.
4 Chnrming Young Woman in the
Cabinet Circles.

n
Cabinet Circles.
Secretary cf War and Mrs. Alger are
the parents of five children. of whom two
daughters and the eldest son are married
says Harpsr's Bazaar. Frederick, the second
son. is in his sophmore year at Harvard
and the remaining member of the family
is Miss Frar ces. a charming girl Of eighteen
or twenty summers. She is sure to be a
great favorite with the gentlemen who wear
the epsulets on their shoulders out at Fort
Myer, for she l. thoroughly delightful
unassuming American young woman. She is
tall-fuly a head taller than her petite
mother-and has a slender, graceful figure,
with night black eyes and hair and clear
olive skin.
Another thing which will commend her 10
the soldier boys" is her fondness for horses
and all out-of-door exercise. Like her
brothers, Mise Frances knows good horse
flesh when she secs it, and she Is an excellent
horsswoman, both in riding and driving.
Tennis and golf are favorite pastmes with
her, and nothing delights her more than
long day in some picturesque bit Of coun-
try with her kodak, for she is quite an ez-
pert in amateur photography and has pro-
duced some very credtable work. She wgs
carefully educated, graduating first from a
Detroit school, and afterward taking a post
graduate course In Miss Porter'e school at
Pennington, Mass, where her grandmother,
mother and sisters were students before her.
Then like all fortunate, end-of-the century
girls, she has the advantage OF travel, not
only in her own country. but abroad-one
Ct the pleasRntest trips being a cruise OF
the Mediterranean with her father and
mother several months age. She is her faith
ers lassie;" a peculiarly tender tie seems
to exist between them, and she has always
been his companion not only in his library
but on his business and pleasure trips when
ever that WAS possible. The family are
PresbyteriEns, and Mrs. Alger and her
daughters are noted for their activity In
church work and charities.

Curious Reminders of Daily Life
Eighteen Hundred Years Ago.

Curious Reminders of Daily Life
Eighteen Hundred Years Ago.
Since Herculaneum and Pompeii
began to yield their buried treas
ures all sorts of information con-
corning the daily life of the people
of 1900 years ago have come to light,
and, among other things, a number
of memoranda on the walls of public
houses, barracks and similar places.
They are just such as may be seen
on blank walls to-day-idle scrib-
bling by irresponsible persons; here
a young fellow wrote the name of his
sweetheart; there blackguard in
scribed vulgar expression or
scurrilous epithet; on the walls of
the barracks are orders of the day
and lists of the men who were to
mount guard on the night which for
Pompeii never had dawn; on the
clustering of the wine shops are the
accounts of customers, some of such
length as to suggest that, in the
matter of drink, there were stFal-
stats" in those days; behind the
perfumer's shelf were noted in
charcoal the names of the ladies' to
whom, on the following day, he was
to send bottles of his wares; the
whole of an instantaneously arrested
life is laid bare, down to its mi
nutest details. Among the thousands
of the inscriptions jotted on the
walls is one which shows that the
sports of that day took profession
al interest in<politics and political
events. 1t is on the wall of the
gladiators' room at the amphi-
theater. The letters are very poor
ly formed, the spelling is wretched-
Nly bad, indicating the hand of an
illiterate person, but in spite of
Authorizations, obscure spelling and
exeerable chirography the meaning
is plain. ''Lucan, the gladiator,
bets Sextus of Apulia, K. denarii that
@. Minutius will not be elected"
Who @. Minutius was, or for what
Office he ran, we do not know, but
that the contest was of some local
interest is indicated by the fact that
two other Inscriptions in which his
name appears have been discovered
and deciphered. One, in terse
Latin, consigns Q. Min. to the in
fernal gods; the other, freely trans
lated into the election slang of to-
day means: 20. Min. is sure to
win. He's the man. HurrahIp' If
the election was Pompeiian affair
it was probably never held. Q.
Min. may have escaped from the
city ere the storm of ashes burst
on its devoted houses, but no more
curious reminder of daily life 1900
years ago has ever been found than
this election bet, which was in
formally declared off by the interfer-
ence of Vesuvius. Louis Globe

Not Entirely Superseded by Modern
Rapid Transit Contrivances.
The advent of the motor car has
given rise to a good deal of talk about
our modern improved methods of To-
comotion. But it is a curious fact
that in many parts of England the
old slow, inconyenient, pre-railway
methods of getting about still hold
their own, and even In districts
where there is a decent railway
service, the old stage coach and the
carriers cart are still running. The
eastern countries appear to be the
great last rallying place of the old
Institutions. Nor are they dimin-
ishing in numbers. On the con-
trary, there has been an increase in
the numbers of carriers carts on
the road IN Norfolk during the last
few years. They have not improved
In convenience since the time when
Barl1is drove 'tthe LATEST horse in
