 Who' haylng heard from her hushand ana brother of their late interast;,r, Vlslt to the monastery, tried by every .aeais in her power to effect an entrance .here, but all to no avail. Determined however, by hook or crook, to succeed she at last hit upon the happy idea of presenting herself there dressed aa man, managing to persuade her husband to allow her to do so, and to take her With him on his next visit.
 On arriving at the gates of the mon. aseery She entered unchallenged with the remainder of the party, but while ln the garden the conducting monk. leaving her side, gathered an exquisite rose, which he brought and presented to her with courtly bow, proving that nc at least was not deceived by her dis. gulse. She, too, foolishly betrayed her self by her ready grace and charm of manner in accepting the rose, which she did most willingly. Needless to say that after this incident she never pene- trated into the interior of the building nor saw what she was dying to see, but returned unsatisfed, a sadder and a wiser woman, with high appreciation, however, of the keen disoernment of the cloistered ones.

Enormous Lifting Power.

The shelless limpet pulls 1,994 times it's own weight when in tho air and about double when measured in the wa ter. Pleas pull l, ,408 times their own dead weight. The Mediterranean cookie, Venus verrucosa, can exert pulling power equal to 2,071 times the weight of it's own body. So great is the power possessed by the oyster that to open it a force equal to 1.310.5 5 times the weight of it's shelless body is required. If the human being possessed strength as great in proportion as that of these shelllsh. the average man would be able to lift the enormous weight of s,076, 900 pounds, pulling in the same degree as the limpet. And if the man pulled In the same proportsonate degree as the cockle he would sustain weight of no less than 8, 106, 500 pounda--Worthing- toms Magazine.

CHICAGO is sending up loud wall be
cause it's commercial interests have
been on the wane of late. Ever since
the November election the shipments of
Western grain and stock and other pro-
ducts to the windy city have been de-
croasing, while New Orleans and Gal
weston are doing an unusually big bus
mess. The cause of this change is not
far to seek-it is found in Chicagos g
stand for the goldbug East in tho cleo
ItIon and against the silver West, the
country from which it drew its support,
and now that support is being with
drawn. The whole country this side of
the Missouri river is gradually drawing
away from Chicago, and New York as
well, and is favoring the Southern cities.

will hereafter find its way to European
ports without passing through Chicago
or New York. The West can be indie

The lower house of the Colorado leg
islature has passed bill prohibiting
the wearing OF hats by ladies in the
atres. 1t is true that thoughtless la.
dies often inconvenience others by
wearing high, feathery hat. In fact
the wearing OF profuse headgear is a
nuisance, and should be discarded. But
it is very questionable il this is a sub,
iect that calls for legislation. 1t seems
too tritling. The good sense of the fe-
male theatre goers should assert itself
and, bv common consent do away with
an ostsntatious display of flowers and
feathers and ribbons on their lats, and
place all who violate the new order Of
things under the ban of their displeas
ure. 1t would not be long before pub
lie opinion would assert itself, and the
desired result would be obtained. The
atre managers could greatly assist by pro-
testing against high hats. IL the sem
ate is going to concur in the house bill
it should at least amend it prohibiting
men from going out between the acts.

The collapse of the rail pool has
brought about strange condition of
things, and the effects Of the breaking
up Of the great trust will be far reach
ing. Steel rails are selling now as low as
sl700 per ton, which is little more than
half the price asked in Pttsburg a
couple of months ago. The trust in
cluded eleven concerns, each one of
which is now going it on its own hook.
Orders for rails are being rapidly
booked, and while some of the orders
may be placed for speculative purposes,
it is likely that general revival OF rail-
road building will be the result OF the
low prices. Just how it will affect the
plant at this place is difficult to tell at

it will not interfere with the proposed

In the Senate held meeting this
afternoon. Besides the full me N ber-
ship of the committee there were pres.
ent the new Republican senators, For.
aker, Panrose, Wellington, Plat,
Mason, Spooner, Fairbanks aud

The conferences with the new sena-
tors was for the purpose OF advising
them OF the difli culties in the way of
Milling committee assignments. At
preeent none OF the new senators will
have COMMITTEES places, and II there is
no reorganization they Will be- with
out places. The situation was ex-
planned by the members OF the com.
mittee as being one OF Considerable
Importance. The Democrats insisted
that in making up the committees
all the silver Republicans and Pop.
ulists should bs Included in the
majority assignments, and all the
minority places conceded to the
Democrats. The Republicans, said one
OF the committee TO the senators, must
give places 10 isilver Republicans
ami Populists who would not act with
them but on the other hand would be
likely to vote with the Democrsts In
and In the Senate on many
of the Questions to come before that
body. Nor was there the slightest
understanding that silver Republican,
and Populists would support the party
ostessiply in control on single propo-
sition.
There was entire agreement aud
harmony on the part OF all who par.
ticipated in the conference To-Day, the
new senators recognizing the difficulty
that exists in the siluatIon. While
no definite conclusion was reached, It
Ia probable that for the present nothing
