This had been said while the boat of

the lubberly fabric alongside. The chest
was promptly got aboard along with the

of powder and shot for the pistols and
muskets. Three of the men re-entered
the boat and returned to the brig, which
forthwith proceeded on her course to
Halloran island in obedience to certain
instructions which had been dispatched
by the commander TO Hardy. Boldock's
next act was to order the quarter boat

men had been rescued TO be lowered by

boat, but as she hit the ships weather

A Democratic Prince.

Several years ago Prince Oscar of
Sweden, nephew Of the present king,
shocked court circles by declaring that
he intended to marry Miss Ehba Monk,
a young lady of patrician birth, but yet
far below him in rank The king pro-
tested and even refused to permit the
marriage, whereupon Prince Oscar de-
clared that he would yield his title and
resign all rights Of succession, but that
marry Miss Monk he certainly would.
The marriage was celebrated i'll due
time, and Prince Oscar has never been
seen in the royal circles since. The king
and queen have maintained friendly but
distant relations with their democratic
nephew, who is known simply as Prince
Oscar, and who is immensely popular
with the people because of his philan
thropy.
Prince Oscar and his wife have been
devoted to causes of charity and benev-
olence, but recently have created a sec
ond sensation by joining the ranks of
the Salvation Army. The prince and
his wife hold regular open air meetings
according to the methods of the army.
The prince exhorts, and he and his wife

Albert Rockingham and John Dawson
had been boys together. Albert had al

his parents, but John had been bad
boy He had loved to torture kittens,
to destroy birds nests and to make lit

In time they grew to manhood and
loved the same woman.
Julia Birdsal worshiped Albert

highway robbery and sentenced to the

heart turned to stone.

The Tortured Horse.

Now that horses are passing away be-
fore the trolley, the cable, the bicy-
Gle and the horseless carriage many
horse owners are learning for the first
time that the use of sunbonnets on
horses has materially decreased the NOR
tally among them in Europe. The
horses must present droll appearance
with their faces peering out of their
straw bonnets, their ears also being Wis
ible through holes made for the pur
pose. Before the horse becomes quite
extinct as a draft animal the sunbon-
net might be used with advantage to
lessen the misery of his remaining sum-
mers.
The passing of the horse, by the way,
is very generally deplored However,
no lover of animals will grieve over his
ceasing to be. Nature was very cruel
when she made horses. The victim ever
of mans ignorance, and until late years
the victim also of his unchecked brutal
ity, the victim also of his pleasurings
and his gambling, the horse-denied
the power possessed by other domestic
animals, such as the cat and the dog of
voicing it's anguish-has led life of
CHASTITY tragedy. Very occasionally from
birth to death he haE been well cared
for. But the common lot of the horse
has been the tortured fate of any sensi-
tive creature at the mercy of that most
cruel of created things-mankind. The
passing of the horse will very apprecia-
bly, lessen the total of the worlds suf-
fering. Vogue.

The ratio of medical students to
the population in this country is
about twice as great as it is in Europe.
The reason of this curious difference
is found in the greater ease with
which diploma can be obtained in
the United States, the medical schools
of Europe requiring much more COM
plete previous preparation and COM
polling the student to undergo a
longer course of study before he is ell
igible to degree.

Catarrh cannot be cured with local applica-

What sauirrels Eat.

Squirrels do not entirely subsist on
nuts, as most people suppose They are
largely fruit eaters, and occasionally
work big havoc i'll the orchards at the
fall of the year They are not above
stealing partridge eggs, and on this ac-
count are not beloved by the sportsman.
Even poultry, when they stray, as they
often will, and lay eggs beyond the
confines of the poultry yard, suffer from
attacks Of squirrels when the mother
bird is away. In pine tree districts these
little climbers are fond of splitting the
pine cones and eating the seeds thereof
But above all things squirrels are
fond Of fungus. They will not have
anything to say to the common or gar
den mushroom, but confidently devour
the most yellow and poisonous looking
OF toadstools that grow in damp woods
and fields. They never store these, for
they know we'll that fungi will not
keep They devour them greedily as
they come to light and revisit the spot

Just now attention is distracted by the
wonderful array of beautiful made up gar
ments. One thing new about the skirts is
the sprung flounce This is also called
gored circular nounce 1t reaches to the
knee, and where 1t is Joined to the upper
part there is always a row Of trimming of
some kind The skirt is yards around ut
the knees, and the 1ounce measures AZ
around the bottom. 1t is variously trim
med, the picot edge or the fancy soutache
braiding being the preferred ornamental
ton. One design showed six lines Of the
narrowcst soutache braid laid on in un-
dulations The same idea was wrought
on the upper part of the skirt where 1t
joined the flounce. Another new fancy Is
to have the seams to the skirt sewed down
to about 1S inches from the bottom as
usual, and from there they flare out, or, as
the dressmakers call 1t, are "pinched out. ;"
1t is not pretty bit, but as 1t Is new 1T is
noticed.
1t has been many years since black vel
vet coats were fashionable, but there are
several kinds just now. These are all for
very swell functions and will be first worn
at the horse show. The shape of the velvet
coats follows those of the season. There
are snug eton jackets, with passementerie
or fine jet trimming and borderings of fine
fur most generally skunk, as that is the
richest of the dark furs, and it requires
dark fur to look best with velvet. There
are short and natty little REFERS, boxcoats,
empire coats mantle capes and hhree-quar-
ter tight jackets, all in fine black velvet.
They are extremely handsome, but cannot
be worn with every kind of skirt. There
are skirts of fine black satin duchesse, peau
dc solo and heavy brocade. These are made
in the most painstaking manner, and they
hang like something grown and not made
by mortal hands out of such commonplace
things as lining, facing braid and feather
bone, with silk on the surface. Some Of
these skirts are really beautiful. They are
never trimmed when intended to be worn

present excellent health of the former
ambassador, Baroness Thielmann and

Count A. de Goetzen, military attache
of the German embassy, reached here
last December. He is a courageous
first lieutenant Of Uhlans, an African
explorer of international reputation,
and an author of merit. His book,
Africa from East to West" a graphic
description from personal observation,
has lately been recognized by our gov
ernment as a necessary volume for the
libraries aboard our men-of-war. Count
Goetzen is young man of soldierly
bearing and facile comprehension,
whose intimate acquaintance with the
languages and customs of many lands
and whose valuation of nature and art
make him rarely companionable to men
of the world who have seen many more
years of life than this soldier-diplomat.
