SANTA CLAUS AT BLENHEIM.
The Duke aud Duchess of Mar
borough intend to signalize the Christ
mas holidays by series of attractive
entertainments at Blenheim. The
young Duchess has now completed her
task OF restoring Blendheim to a mag
nificence it has not known for centu-
ry. She is artistic and everywhere in
the palace is evidence of her decorative
caste.
The antiquity Of great part of the
turni,ure was its only claim to consid-
ration, while the draperies and hang
,pgs were in moth-esten and tattered
condition, except in few of the living
rooms of the palace.
These diapdated furnishings have
now been replaced by the most elegant
modern work and every room in tn.
au2e mansion, from end to erd, has
nsen restored with admirable taste
Walls that were hung with dingy tap
res Rave been covered with exqnis
itely tinted French brocades, and heavy
~. curtains copied from renowned
models screen the window, watch long
nave been ciossd. All is bright, luxu-
rious AID rich aud in keeping with til.
ohle rooms CT historic memories.
The Duchess own favorite sitting,
i!awing- rooms ard boudoir are always
,uppiied with wealth of lovely
4 .wers, while photographs of Amer
can women are very numerous. Maga-
Lies are scattered about the library,
which is furnished in white and REQ
Blerheim's neglected appearances has
vanished. The Duchess has hospitG
oy resolved that its revived glories
shall be enjoyed by all OF her friends
and county neiehbors. Harmony ha
jrce more been restored between the
palace aud the vcarsge, a harmony
which was interrupted when the vicar
eiused to allow the church bells to be
rung when the Dukes father returned
80 Benheir1 with his second wife,
Mrs. Hammersley.
The Duchess, in token of this recon-
ciliation, is organizing two dramatic
entertainments for December 80, in aid
of the restoration fund of Woodstock
Church. The long library in the pa;-
ace is being fitted with stage. A
Higmaker and theatrical costumer was
at Benheim last week to consult
about dresses for a new and origiual
musical comedy, entitled San Idl'
Hour,n especially written by Ian Ma
colin, NJ. P, and composed by G. Pei
kins, of Birmingham.

Two FAMOUS SKELEToNS.-A COM
mission that was appointed by NJ. Ram,
bod, minister of public instruci' n
aud worship. on Saturday opened
tombs in the Pantheon, at Paris, and
settled the question concerning the
whereabouts of the ashes of Voltaire
aud Rousseau, which the late Alphonse
Daudet called the greatest of the Gel
,ury. Both skeletons were found.
Vol aires skull had fallen in two parts,
which, when placed together, gave a
striking presentment of his fealui es.
Rousseau's skull showed no trace of q
bullet wound, thus disproving the wide
entertained belief that he committed
suicide by shooting himself in the head
with a revolver.

sung by Rev. Father Reussman. Dur
ing the High Mass a sermon was
preached in Bohemian by Rev. G.
Thill of Carrolton. After High Mass
the Bishop addressed the good people
in English and German, and warmly
congratulated them on their generosi
ty and the great work they have
achieved. Then took place the solemn
christening of a beautiful bell, which
was named John Casimir Sebastian:
and the blessing of the new burial
ground. Nine priests attended the
Bishop on this memorable occasion:
the societies, the Amigo choir and the
Neva band added to the solemnity.

The most gigantic harp ever con.
structed, as far as the record goes was
that made by Veritan, the provost Of
Burkli, near Basel Switzerland, in
1887. That was long while ago, but
the fame Of M. Veritan's gigantic
harp was such that it is still occasional.
ly mentioned by writers on the rare and
the wonderful, just as the sea serpent,
bloody rain, live mastadons, etc., are
M. Veritan's colossal musical instru.
ment was 800 feet in length, and, on
that account, was constructed in an open
lot instead Of in harp factory. It was
most simple in construction, consisting
Of 10 wires strung tightly between two
poles. These wires were Of different
sizes, the largest being one-sixth Of an
inch in diameter and the smallest one
twelfth Of an inch. They were stretched
north and south and inclined in such a
manner as to form an angle Of from 90
to 80 degrees with the horizon. This
queer instrument was not intended as
an exaggerated toy, but was constructed
for the express purpose of foretelling
changes in the weather, which were
calculated by Professor Veritan accord.

made when the wind was blowing
through it.-St. Louis Republic.

he GOT THE MILK.
A Story Showing the Sympathy and Sim
plicity of Professor Child.


Twenty years ago the writer, with
her 3-year-old child, was on her way to
Washington in inidwinter. Instead of
reaching that beautiful city early in the
morning, as was expected, the train was
stalled in the night by a terrible biz
card. After the height Of the storm was
over it took hours to dig away the heavy
snow that buried, not only the rails, but
the whole world apparently. Slowly
and laboriously the locomotive crept on,
and we were still 200 miles from Wash
ington when the church clock struck s
in village where we halted. Men
jumped up to see if there were time to
get cup of coffee; nervous and anxious
women clamored for tea, and I cried
with the rest, ooh, if only I could get
glass Of milk for my little grip elm

passing through the Car; 1--WE shan't be
here but minute"
Paying no heed to his words, gen.
tleman Of striking appearance, whose
fine face and head I had been silently
studying, hurriedly left the car and dis.
appeared upon the snowy platform.
"He'll get left" sneered the brakeman.
The train moved on, feeling it's way
through the huge white banks on both
sides. The gentleman had evidently
been travelling alone, for no one seemed
anxious because he did not come back.
The cars were hardly in full swing,
however, when he jumped aboard, lit.

self possessed and calm, holding care.

not be returned, as we were now thun-

replied, settling himself into his seat,
paying no more attention to us But
later in the course Of the dreary fore
noon he motioned to the little lass to
come to him, which she willingly did.
he lifted her to his side, and with his
arm round her she cuddled up against
him, and for two hours he whispered
