APPROACH OF DEATH.
- Spoiled the Vow of an Angry


Man.
For more than twenty years William
Il 1erolamen of Morristown, N. j., was
silent in his home, says an exchange
faced him. Then he broke the oath,
spoke to mis- wife, kissed her and died.
One day back in the '70's, after trif1-
ing quarrel, he said to his wife: III
never speak to you again as long as l
uve." At that time he was So years
old. He kept his VOW and lived on,
utterly ignoring the woman who had
shared his joys and SORROWS so long.
They lived in a cottage at Mount Ar
Nngton, Morris county; but, as far as
Jerolamen was concerned. it was as II
MS wife was not living. She bore the
slight without murmur. He dined IN
silence and alone, and so did she. OFTEN
Mrs. Jerolamen had to speak to her
husband in reference to household at
fairs, but he never answered. He was
a church member, being one OF the or
ganlzers of the Mount Arlington Meth
odist Episcopal church. In 1874 the
town was divided on the question OF
prohibition. The old man tried to in
duce the members of the church to in
dorse the cold-water ticket at the town
election, but they refused. He sWore
tnat he would never go to church again.
He kept his word in this as he did to-
ward his wife. Thus his life went on
IN silence and gloom until last Mon
day. Then he could not arise in the
morning, for pneumonia had laid its
grip upon him. He was 80 years old
and he felt that he could not recover.
His wife bent over him with a love that
all his harshness never had killed. He
saw the light in her eyes and, feebly
essaying to take her hand, he sobbed:
Dear, I'm so sorry Will you forgive
me?" Forgive him? Would she?
kneeling by the dying mans bedside,
she wept softly, while he, with tongue
freed at last, rambled on deliriously
about old times. She did not leave him
until the end came on Wednesday. He
died with his hand in hers and look
OF happiness that his face had not
borne in twenty years.

ABOUT KEY WEST.
Only Southern City Never Under tho
Confederate Flag.


A man who recently returned from
Key West, Fla, says the first impress
sion stranger gets of that place at
the present time is that the city has
gone on perpetual holiday spree.
Bunting flies from almost every house
,Gp, and the colors are about evenly
divided between "Old Glory" and the
emblem of the Cuban republic. Eco
pie of all classes and ages wear pins
or other symbols bearing the motto,
Cuba Libre," says the Buffalo Courier.
This far southern city, lying almost
within the tropics, is the only town OF
Importance below Mason and Dixon's
line that was never under the stars
and bars of the confederacy. The pop
ulation is about evenly divided ne
tween white Cubans, colored Cubans
and white Bahamians. There are not
more than score of real American
families resident on the island, but not
withstanding this fact the. great mass
of the people are loyal to the union
first and to Cuba next. It is curious,
though true. that of all the houses,
dwellings,, stores, hotels and other
buildings that dot the island from one
shore to the other. not one CT them
has a chimney or anything hat Will
answer the purpose of chimney.
Handsome residences and lowly novels
are alike in IL ; respect, and from an
eminence gazing out over acres Of roofs
on all sides one is struck with the want
OF something to complete the symnle-
try of the picture. Wood and coal
or fuel of any kind are an unknown
quantity, as the tropical atmosphere
furnishes all the heat required, and
for cooking purposes sticks of carbon
are used, which are sold by peddlers,
who hawk their wares about the
streets. There are few stores, as we
understand such things, and no mar
kets. Sign boards in Spanish will tell
you where the barber shop is located,
or where to buy coral ornaments.
There are no more than half dozen
stores conducted on the American
plan on the island. Instead of mar
ket there is daily auction under the
government dock, where everything IN
the way of provisions, furniture and
fruit is knocked down to the highest
bidder. Bananas, alligator pears and
pineapples are the commoncst articles
of purchase, and here ships from ia
maica, Cuba and Nassau, in the BAHIA
mas, unload their cargoes and dispose
of them at ruinous rates rather than
risk a voyage at this time of year to
more northern ports.

A Master Sun.

It was once believed by some as
tronomers that the entire starry uni
verse revolved around a center of at
traction, and the star named Alcyone,
in the beautiful group of the Pleiades,
was selected by the German astrono-
med Maedler as marking that great
center. 1t has long been known, how
ever, that Maedler's conclusion, which
was based on the apparent motions of
universal center exists, it has not yet
been discovered. In fast, many stars
seem to be moving in straight lines,
some in one direction and some in an
other; and among these is our own
sun. But it is possible that further
observations will show that all the
stars are really moving in curved
lines. In the meantime it has been
found that there are certain crops, or
sets. of stars which appear to travel
together. To what set, if any, the sun
belongs, we do not yet know, but quite
lately Monsieur Delaney has pre-
sented before the Academy of Sciences
in Paris reasons for thinking that
those stars whose distances have been
measured (that is to say, those which
are nearest to us) group themselves
around Sirius, the dog-star, in a man
ner similar to that in which the inner
planets are grouped around the sun.
If this is correct, Sirius may possibly
be the master sun to which our orb of
day is a distant satellite.

Holes In Your Umbrella,

One of the most fruitful causes of
holes in the folds of an umbrella is
improper care when it is wet. 70 roll
up wet umbrella is to invite the dyes
to rot it, and one of the banes of the
umbrella manufacturer is loaded Gye
on silk. Out of 100 samples of silk SUBJ
mitted to an expert not over ten were
pure dye, and so per cent of the silk
thread submitted was overloaded with
dye and could not stand chemical test.
This is fruitful cause of trouble in
umbrellas. When over-dyed silks are
wet and the umbrellas rolled and set
away, the owners complain that their
umbrellas are cracking in the folds.
Fine holes appear and they are apt to
return the umbrella to the merchant
and claim damage.
