MONUMENTAL FOLLY.

1 A California Widow Would Have
 Road Paved with Gold.
 Notwithstanding the fabulous wealth of the Klondike region it cannot boast of a road paved with gold, as can Cali fornia. The Bear state has plenty of eXtrayagant citizens, but it remained 1 for widow and widower of Sonoma county to commit the crowning act of folly. which furnished that locality with public thoroughfare of the New Jeru- salem style It was a case of sheer ob- stipaey.
 John Johnson, a widower, of Bloom field, wished to improve the road from his home to the village of Valleyford. For this purpose he received permission from Widow Martha Jones to take rock from a hillside on her farm.
 While carting the rock he noticed what seemed to be speclls of gold shin ing in the sunlight. Scenting wealth, he sent samples to San Francisco to be as s8yed and learned that the stone he was building his road with was gold bearing quartz worth from eight to ten dollars a ton.
 Then he sought the widow and, point ing out the fortune which seemed to be hidden in the hill, proposed 10 share the cost and profit of development. But the widow was coy financially as well as sentimentally, She did not believe in Johnson or his gold mine yarn, and in the language of the Bowery "trun lem down hard" Her permission had been given to put the rock on the road, and l J,4 elk +oI !, it.
 Johnson was furious, but he saw his opportunity. The widow had given the rock for the road-on the road it should go even if it were worth $10O a ton. So all summer long Johnson's wagons worked until four miles of road were built, but the widow didn't weaken.-- i N. '. World

The visitor began 1t with:

 To which Mrs Housekeep replied: Why, certainly, if you like them" Then to the clerk. How much are tomahtoes this morning."

AUTUMN sHoPPING-TRYINe NEW GOWNS ON THE MODEL

notwithstanding. The compromise puffs, the little frills, the Vandyke caps and the lace draperies of very moderate bulk, that for months have acted as "avant couriers" to bring down by degrees our notions of arm coverings, were no preparations for what we saw before us.
 But l am positively scrawny," said 8 tall thin woman. whose face, never tbeless, was bright and attractive. "In tight sleeves my arms will be those of a scarecrow or a living skeleton"

 In the background hovered the mod iste, anxious and bent on reassuring. ''The plain sleeves are most elegant, ladies" she repeated. Every body abroad is wearing them"
 Plain sleeves, without expansion at the shoulder, are unobjectionable on women Of good figure and even relief after the enormities of year ago; but to the extremes of thinness or of stout ness they are bound to be trying. I do not think they will become universal for months. The rebellion against them has gathered force in the last two or three weeks, but it has not much pros peet of success. To plain, tight coat sleeves we are coming
 Once past the rock of stumbling, there are fewer pitfalls than usual in the fashion vista Most of the skirt models on exhibition were as narrow as possible in front and on the sides; but they had all the fullness they could carry massed in two or three box plaits behind. Bell designs and gored pat terms, usually in three pieces. almost monopolize favor, though klted and "sunburst9 skirts are in the field.
 As regards skirt trimmings every woman has free swing. The simplest tailor model, untouched by ornament, IS as much in the mode as the most 1rllly or founcy dress or the most mar vicious model of tucks, folds or gimp insertions.
 Only one radical departure in waists is promised. At the private opening referred to, I saw two or three women absent-mindedly lingering their throats as they noticed the absence of high neck bands. Instead of the stocks in which we have choked all summer, at the first breath of cool air comes a low comfortable band without even mass

Mrs. PaclIinham-Don't try to tell me, Josiah. that the men are stronger minded than the women. Look at the suicide statistics. A great many more men than women kill themselves. Isn't suicide an evidence of weakness?

Prince Bismarck is great pipe col
lector, and the gem of his collection has
a curious history Many years ago, as
Bismarck was strolling in the suburbs
of FriedGrichsruh with his two hounds,
he was accosted by Bohemian peddler
and asked TO buy q plain meerschaum
pipe Of the type that Bismarck most af-
fectcd. At first Bismarck declined, but
the peddlcr claimed for the pipe a power
of forecast and told him he would serve
three omperors as minister, and that
three important changes in his life
would be forotold by accidents Detailing
the pipe.
Laughing, Bismarck bought the pipe.
lie has since served three cmperors.
Two days before tho historic moment
when he was refused an audience the
stem Of his pipe separated and went to
pieces, Later ho Clipped piece from
the side Of the bowl, and within n
month he was practically dismissed by
the present emperor, The third sign has
yet to come. Berlin CORRESPONDENT
