DECLINED the Invitation.

A we'll known professor is noted for
his Observation-Disclosures. He and friend,
another old professor, used to take a
daily walk together and discuss matters
quite beyond the comprehension Of ordi-
nary mortals.
One day when the walking was very
bad professor No l was on his way to
the corner at which he and his friend
always met when he encountered a
young student whose face he recognized
dimly, having seen it every day for
some weeks in his morning class. He
accordingly hailed his pupil, who was
wading through The mud to get across
the street.
Have you seen my friend?" he asked.
Eyes, sir, /" replied the student, paus-
ing respectfully in the midst of mud
puddle to remove his cap. He is at
the corner waiting for you. :
Good, replied the professor, looking
over his spectacles :" thank you. You
may be seated. Strand Magazine

HISTORIC MARRIAGES.
ONE linton whieh Paved the Way to

One Union Which Paved the Way to
Christianity in England.
The marriage of Ethelbert, king Of
Kent, with Bertha. the Christian daugh-
ter of Charibert, king of Paris, paved
the way to Christianity in England. The
marriage of Henry VIII. with Anne Bo-
leyn was one Of the principal factors
leading to the reformation. Etheldred
the Unready's marriage with Emma Of
Normandy gave the conqueror an ex-
cuse for asserting his claim to the Eng
lish throne. The marriage of Henry !.
with Matilda of Scotland reconciled
the people to the conquest by restoring
the line Of Cerdic. Henry lis mar
rage with Eleanor of Aquiatine made
England the first continental power
in western Europe. The marriage Of
Henry VII. with Elizabeth of York
closed the bloody Wars Of the
Roses. The marriage of Margaret.
daughter of Henry VII, with James
Nv. of Scotland ultimately led to
the union of England and Scotland.
Finally the marriage of Sophia with the
elector of Hanover put line of Ger
man princes on the English throne,

each end on the machine and leave one
pocket plain, dividing the remaining
three in various ways. One can be
stitched through the center to form
two pockets of equal size. One can be
divided into tiny pockets for holding
dainty silks and larger ones for buttons,
tapes and the like, while the remaining
two can be stitched into as many or as
few compartments as the individual
may prefer. When all four are complete,
turn under the upper edge of each and
tack firmly into place with ornamental
brass nails, which will serve the dcu-
BILE purpose of making it secure and
providing an ornamented finish.

New Bodices-variations of the Empire
or Spencer Waist.
Copyright 1897, by the Author.l
Among the multitude of dainty sum-
mer dresses / singled out one today as
possessing something of genuine novel
ty, quality not 50 very often found at
this season. New fancies there are in
bodices, so many that no one could do
them all justice, but this one stood
out in relief from the rest. The mate
rial was clouded barege made up over
silk. The body Of the stuff was in del
icate drab with white figuring, and nm
der it was skirt of emerald green taf-
feta. The whole dress started from the
neck. There was narrow strap down
each shoulder, and part Of the fullness
was gathered to the strap, both back
and front. It was then left loose to
near the waist, where a series of narrow
but deep plaits were laid SO as to fit the
whole to the figure in form of swiss
pointed belt. There was little fichu
of white silk null bordered with lierre
lace some five or six inches wide. This
is draped across the bust and shoulders,
and then down the back to the waist
line, where it is tied in knot with two
long ends. The lace is sewed upon the
edges of this quite full, so that it falls
in rich cascade. The sleeves are shir-
red all the way to the top. where there
is little puff just sufficient to hold the
lace out, and they and the collar are
finished with ruff1es of lace This made
a very dainty and quite new idea in
summer dresses.
As you pass a counter in q store
whereon there are hundreds of pieces of

imagine that there is any particular

gingham be made up into pretty dress
after the style of the day and put it on
a pretty girl and straightway it be-
comes finer than the tabled robes of the
queen of Sheba. 1t is not in the origi-
nal beauty of the gingham that that in
the finished gown lies, but In the style
and finish and the way the wearer
wears it. There is way of slamming
on dress and carelessly arranging it
everywhere and unconsciously apologiz
ing for wearing such cheap stuff. Then
another girl might put on the very
same gown and look like little pink
goddess in it.
There was one pink gingham-pink
and white. The skirt was shirred on in
three rows. The sleeves were shirred
all the way up, the wrists having self

A Toad as a Talis,nan.

The Western Morning News reports a
remarkable case of superstition. A
young woman in Penzance had suffered
from fits, and she adopted remedy
which would be to most people almost
as repulsive as the disease itself She
procured live toad, placed it in q bag,
hung it around her neck and carried it
next her body. The woman was cured
of her fits. but she was being medically
attended at the Pensance infirmary at
the same time. The woman believes,
however, that this was coincidence
and that her strange talisman was the
instrument of her cure South Wales

blouse was short empire jacket, as it
is now called, laid in one deep plait in

Asks if the Republicans Caused Wheat to Rise,
 Why Not Wages?

St. Louis, Sept. 1.-The St. Louis Post Dispatch tomorrow will print a letter from w. J. Bryan, his first utterance after three mopths' of travel and obser- vation regarding the return of prosperi- ty. Among other things he says:
 Wheat has risen because the foreign crop has been exceedingly short. The fact that silver and wheat have parted company will cause no dismay to those who understand that the law of supply and demand regulates the price of both.
 Nothing can better disclose the weak ness of the republican position than the joy manifested by the republicans over everits for which gold and their politics are in no wise responsible. The Gle- publicans, in claiming credit for the rise in wheat, must assume resporeibil- ity for the famine in India.
 "A great rise in price should b. fol- lowed by a rise of wages"
 MT. Bryan says that the joy over the increase of money from wheat is evi- dence that we have too little monsy; that if the farmers are benefited by the rise in one of their products, how much better would it be if the rise was univer- sal. That thep rice of wheat will fail when the foreign demand becomes nor nal ard that the present spasmodic rise will aid rather than retard th= cause of bimetallism.

 If you are not a monopoly and have no skin game for the future, why don't you sell your machines instead of simply renting them?" is the pertinent retort And so the war of words goes on.
 In the meantime the cylindrical men are introducing more machines at differ ent poin.s throughout the south prepara- tory to the opening of the ginning season. and are pointing with pride to the fire proof record made by their round bales at recent fire in Chicago.

BAD FOR LUETGERT
Was the Testimony of Witnesses on the Stard
 Yesterday

Chicago, Sept. 4.--It was a. bad Gay for the defendant in the LacIgert murder trial. The strongest evidence which has yet been given against him was brought out, and some of it was damaging. The witness who gave the strongest evidence against the sausage maker was Mrs ChriJtiana Feldt, a widow with whom the persecution alleges Luetgert was in- fatuated ard to whom it is claimed he has written 8 number of love letters since he has been confined in jail. Mrs Feldt says that on various occasions Luetgert said to her that he did not care for his wife, and once said that he thought more of the domestic in the house than of Mrs. Luetgert. He also said he had had many quarrels with his wife, and when Mrs. Feldt asked him why he did not secure a divorce he said that as soon as his financial troubles were over he would settle with her. He repeated this several times, and called his wife @ ''carcass" and other names.
 A niece of Mrs. Luetgert and two other women identified the rings taken from the vat as being the property of Mrs Luetgsrt. The niece said she at one time had borrowed the rings and worn them
 Gottheb Schimpke, IA years of age, testified that on the night of the disap- pearance of Mrs. Luetgert she saw her about Il o'clock, as she was returning from dance, the defendant and his wife entsr the factory. This was at the time when the watchman was absent, Luet- gert having sent him on an errand to the drug store.
 On cross-examination the girl broke down badly.
 The state, it is said, in short time will produce as evidence portion of a human skull, a number of tesl.h and a finger joint which were found in the fac- tory and will endeavor to show that they are those belonging to the missing wo- man
