AN EASTER TRAGEDY.

OF the fate of poor Miss Wiggles and
her brand-new Easter hat;
* Is very, very seldom that we fnd a
tragedy
That contains so much Of horror as was
brought about by that.
Miss Vigges was a lady with a millinery
taste
That was truly quite remarkable: never
knew Its like;
She could make splendid bonnet from the
merest bit of waste,
bonnet that cen Virot at her best would
hardly strike.
But it latterly did happen-oh, how sad a
tale to tell
Miss Wiggles gave up ribbons and laid in
stock of wings
Little wings of little brides, and the larger
ones as we'll
She didn't even spare the little yellow bird
that sings.
And then on Easter Sunday, with her hat
upon her head,
With twenty-seven piniOnS smuggling all
about the rim,
Miss Virgins went to service, and, as usual
she led
In the saying of responses and the singing
of the hymn.
Now how 1t was it happened l confess do
not know,
A miracle l doubt not must have been the
cause of 1t;
But as she sat demurely in the very fore
most row
Those wings began to fiutter and to wobble
and to fit.
And before the poor dear lady could take
out her bonnet pins
And free herself, the bonnet hauled her
upward by the hair,
And with sundry pirouettings and with sew
eral dizzy spins
She foated up the steeple and ont in the
open air.

THE DRY TORTuGAS.
Once Famous Fort and Prison Brought
Into Prominence Again.


Fort jefferson, on one of the Tortu-
gas Islands, is regarded as one of the
most powerful defensive works on TIE
American coast. 1t covers an area Of
five acres, having two acres of the key
outside of its limit. The Dry Toryugas
command the Yucatan passa SC, and its
poSsesSors would really cont"o all
shipping to Texas, Louisiana, Mexico
and the Central American States. Dry
Tortugas is a group of ten small ISL
ands or keys at the eastern entrance to
the Gulf of Mexico, about seventy lone
miles directly west of Key West and
120 miles southwest of Cape Sable, the
most southerly point of the mainland
of Florida. One Of these ten isles is
Garden Isle, upon which Fort jefferson
was built under the direction of Cen
Totten, who instituted what was
known as the masonry forts, our only
kind of seacoast defense from 1850 un~
til 1870. The Federal Government in
1870 began to discard the solid forts
of brick and stone for the more modern
breastworks of earth and concrete,
which have a greater power of resist
ing the more powerful rifles of latter
days. Fort jefferson is a three-story
brick structure, with walls four feet
three inches thick. amply able to with
stand the old smOoth-bore cannon, but
worse than useless as a resistance to
the long-range rifles of modern war
vessels.
The harbor of Garden Isle is far SUI

perior to that of Key West. where Fort
Taylor is situated. The harbor at Key
West is able TO accommodate large
ships in high water, but at Garden Isle,
in the Dry Tortugas, ships can enter at
any time, and the coral reefs around
the island afford an excellent break
water for the protection of vessels at
anchor. Garden Isle, called so because
1t had enough soil on II for a garden,
is only seven acres in extent. Fort JET
ferson covers almost the entire island,
and affords sufficient room to store all
naval supplies necessary In a war with
any southern country. Dry Tortu2as
and Key West are each about eighty
miles from Havana and are seventy
one miles apart
Dry Tortrgas was used as prison
In the war of the rebellion. AS the
name indicates, there is not much wa
ter there. In fact, except for the rain
water, which is caught in the wet sea
son and stored in tanks, there would
not be a drop of water on the island.

Some of the prettiest villas upon

SAND STORM IN THE DESERT.
Graphic Description of One of the Great
Enemies of Man in Egypt.

Graphic description OF One OF the Treat
Enemies of Man in Egypt.
In the Century Magazine r, Talbot
Kelly gives a realistic description of
sand storm in the Egyptian desert. The
air is hot and sulphurous, he says,
while the sun becomes lurid and sickly
in its glare. At first the hot wind comes
in slight puffs, like breaths from kiln;
but each moment It increases in velo-
city, carrying with it more and more
fine drift sand, which, binding the eyes
and choking the lungs, gradually pro-
duces a most distressing feeling of de-
preston and suffocation. By degrees,
as the storm gains strength, little splin-
ters of rock and small pebbles are lifted
up and hurled at one like hailstones,
cutting the skin like knives, until eyes
and ears are full of blood, unless one
mas been able to protect himself against
the blast. The native cufia, or silk
scarf, wrapped round the head and
face, and leaving only the eyes expos
ed, is the most effective protection; but
the heat IS suffocating, and quickly re-
duces one to impotence. AS the storm
continues perhaps for several days, the
sun becomes totaIy obscure, while the
ever moving sand gradually assumes
The appearance of pillows, threatening
to overwhelm everything. Nothing can
be distinctly seen above or around; and
the moving sand drifts, splashing and
breaking like surf upon the rocks, are
slowly but surely enveloping every
thing in camp, and piling up tons of
drift against tents and baggage.

AL IN HONOR OF EASTER.
Many Curious Customs Relative 10 the
Celebration of the Day.

In France, during the middle ages, there
were many curious customs relative to
Easter eggs. Before Eastertide began the
priests paid q round of visits, blessing
and receiving eggs. The largest eggs were
picked out and sent to the King as trib-
ute. After high mass in the chapel of the
Louvre on Easter day huge gayly deco
rated baskets of gilded eggs were carried
in to the royal presence; the attendant
chaplain blessed and distributed them to
those present. Then came the substitu
ton of the artificial egg of sugar, paste
board, ivory, and so forth, the cover or
case for some daintier gift. Beringer and
other writers refer to the fabulous sums
Of money spent upon Injuries inclosed in
Easter eggs. 1t is little curious that as
far as the custom Of egg-rolling is prac-
ticed in the United States it has a national
reputation only in Washington. How or
where it started there no one now living
in Washington can tell; but that the en-
chanting slopes of the White House
grounds give it inviting encouragement
no one will dispute. With every year the
crowd of children engaged in the sport
has increased, and the egg-rolling has
finally grown to the Importance of festi-
val. The public schools are closed on
Easter Monday, and thousands of children
swarm about the White House. The
grounds are prettily diversified with little
hills and intermediate valleys, and on the
knoll above the steepest of these grassy
slopes the children gather. Baskets and
boxes are quickly emptied, and the sport
of rolling the colored egg begins. 1t has
no apparent object, unless it is to test the
strength of the eggshell and to see how
many times it will go humping over rough
places without breaking. Some of the
little ones try to roll their eggs against
others. to see which will break; others
run after their eggs as they roll down, to
catch them before they reach the bottom,
so that they may not break But they
are not long-lived. Even the hard-boiled
egg has limit of endurance. Before long
the first Corners have seen the last of their
colored treasures broken and scattered
over the grass. But the newcomers CON
stantly arriving bring a fresh supply. So
the business of the day goes on with ever
renewed vigor. The children come and go
from 8 O'Clock till shutdown.
