The Army Oficer's Trunk,

The army officers trunk, which is an
article of limited but regular sale in
peace times, being sold chiefly to regu-
lar army officers, is stout, well made
trunk of rather generous proportions,
80 divided inside as to afford spaces for
both military and civilian attire. There
is a place for an officers chapeau and
one for the silk hat of civilian and
room for the different clothing, and the
trunk is large enough to admit a sword
laid diagonally. A trunk of this sort is
made not Of sole leather, as might be
supposed, to withstand rough wear, but
with rigid frame, SO that it can be
roped or strapped on to a load or packed
with other things piled on it in the OK
igencies of wagon Or other transporta-
ton without being crushed Or damaged.

About the last literary work complet-
ed by the late Cora Stuart Wheeler was
beautiful tribute to "Some Court
Painters to Queen Rose published in
The Woman's Home Companion, in
which she says:
GAS a rule, women make the best
flower painters. The men who excel in
this branch of art are comparatively
few, even when we consider the small
number of artists of both sexes who
have acquired reputation in the pictur-
ing of flowers. The reason is not diff
cult to see. The average woman has a
fondness for flowers which brings her
into the closest sympathy with them
and enables her to appreciate and I'M
derstand them as men seldom do. In
the Interpretation of certain subtle
phases of floral life her sensitive tenn
permanent and the peculiarly sympathetic
feeling that she is apt to bring to her
labor of love especially qualify her for
engaging in this department of picture
making. In point of technical ability
some marvolously clever work has been
done by artists Of the gentler sex in the
reproduction of flowers and in the
treatment of difficult subjects"

HAPPENS ONLY IN NOVELS.


1t and as 1t Really IL.
England no doubt loves us dearly,
but the English authors have not yet
discovered that fact in its entirety
Clark Russell, Max Pemberton and An
thony Hope, to say nothing of Conan
Doyle and Rudyard Kipling, will have
it that all Americans are Yankees, al
though they would resent the charge
that all Englishmen are cockneys.
Another symptom of the drift is in
relation to emigration from Great Brit
ain. Statistics show that an enormous
number of people come to this country
from Great Britain, but the novelists
never heard Of it. Micawber and his
interesting family went to Australia
and got rich. So did every other emf
grant that Dickens sent abroad, unless
like Martin Chuzzlewit and Mark Tap
ley, they were sent to this country to
point a moral and adorn tale All
English writers resemble Dickens in
that respect. In their stories the emf
grants all go to Australia, Canada, At
rica-anywhere but the United States
This trait comes under the head Of
"loyalty to the crown.' They know per-
fectly well that the British emigrant,
unless assisted by British society,
takes himself and belongings to this
country, and even if tho society kindly
lands him in Canada he takes the first
chance of skipping over the border. The
only time he goes to the COLONIES"

Swayed by q Play.

An impressive instance Of play that
influenced human life comes from ono
of the northern towns, where a very
striking play was being performed in
which the disastrous consequences fol-
lowing Oh the love of two men for tho
same woman were realistically present
cd. A young engineer who had conceiv-
ed violent affection for girl who had
resented his attentions in view of the
fact that she loved another man, who
CHANGED to be the engineers bosom
friend, witnessed this play one even
ing, and it made very deep impression
on him, as it seemed almost to have
been written to apply to his own I'M
happy situation. Act by act the tragic
story was unfolded, jealousy of the dis
appointed lover ending in crime and
punishment, and when at length the
curtain fell the engineer had come to a
decision. He went home, packed up a
few necessaries and week later set
out for Australia, where, by lucky
stroke year later, he made a mighty
fortune. He attributed all his success
to the play in question, for had he never
seen it he would never have gone away
from England, and perhaps some awful
occurrence might have arisen from his
unrequited passion. London Standard.

POWHATAN PIPES.
Msde From Peculiar Kind Of Virginia
Clay snd Msds Sweet by Riro.

Clay aAd MADE sweet ~ kiro.
The old coasting captain was gazing
upon a crudely shaped red clay pipe
which he smoked at the end of long,
many jointed reed stem, while no filled
the ears of the observant Jerseyman
with its praises.
"If you want the sweetest pipe in
the world" he said, you must get one
of these. They are the original Pow
hatan pipes, made in Powhatan county,
Va, out of a peculiar blue clay which
is found there in little nodules and fin
ished in peculiar way.
1.-THE genuine Powhatan pipe can
never be found north of Baltimore, and
it is easier to get one in Norfolk than
in Baltimore If you begin smoking
one, you will discard your meerschaums
and brier woods and smoke nothing
else. When it gets strong, you merely
put it iEto the fire and burn it sweet
again. The imitation Powhatan pipes
would crack to pieces if you try to burn
them sweet, but the genuine can be
thrust in safety right into the bright
GOALS, although, of course, it is better
to let them heat more gradually"
Under the stimulus of this praise the
observant Jerseyman sent to friend in
Norfolk for half dozen Of tho pipes.
After time he received them, with a
bill for rs cents for the pipes and $5 for
the trouble Of finding them.
If you had not told me that tho pipes
sold two for quarter" his friend
wrote, II should never have got the
right kind for you. went to almost
every tobacconist in Norfolk hunting
for them. Each one showed me pipe
which looked about the same as these,
but was only 10 cents. Finally, one
day, after l had about given up the
search, l happened to mention it to a
longshoreman. There is only one shop
in Norfolk, he said, where you can get
the genuine Powhatan pipe. That is q
little place down along the river front. ,
He gave me the address, and there I
found them"
The observant Jerseyman has smoked
the Powhatan pipe many times since
then, and he still believes the old cap
tain's praise was warranted. On the
caution label which came about each
pipe it is said that the peculiar quail
ties of the genuine pipes are due to the
fact that they are finished by hand pol
fishing instead Of a glazing, thus leav-
ing to the clay all of its natural porosi-
ty and absorbent qualities. New York

LOVED LIFE TOO WELL.
Ancient Natclez Indian Who Rebelled
Against Being Sacrificed.

Ancient NatcheE Indian Who Rebelled
Against Being Sacrificed.
One Of the repulsive features Of the
laws under which the Natchez Indians
were governed was that when mem
Der of the royal family Of the nation
died it was necessary that several others
of tho people should accompany him to
the tomb by suffering death at the
hands of executioners. When the
"great sum-" the hereditary chief Of
the whole nation, died, all his wives
in case he were provided with more
than one, and also several Of his sub
jects, were obliged to follow him into
the vale of shadows. The little suns, "
secondary chiefs, and also members of
the royal family, likewise claimed,
when dying, their tribute of death from
the living. In addition to this, the in
exorable law also condemned to death
any man of the Natchez race who had
married a girl Of the royal line of the
"suns." On the occasion of her death
he was called upon to accompany her.
II will narrate to you upon this sub
ject," writes an old French chronicler
of Louisiana, "the story Of an Indian
who was not in humor to submit to
this law. His name was Etteacteal. He
had contracted an alliance with the
suns. The honor came near having a
fatal result for him. His wife fell sick,
and as soon as he perceived that she
was approaching her end he took to
fight, embarking in pirogue on the
Mississippi, and sought refuge in New
Orleans. He placed himself under the
protection Of the governor who was at
that time NJ. de Bienville, offering him
self to be the governors hunter. The
governor accepted his services, and in
terested himself in his behalf with the
Natchez, who declared, in answer that
he had nothing to fear, inasmuch as the
ceremony was over, and as he had not
been present when it took place he was
no longer available as candidate for
execution. New Orleans Picayune.

THE FARMER WON.
Dut schasfsr Considers It the Shortsss
Game Of His Life.

Game Of His Life.
"some years ago." said sporting
man, when Schaefer kept billiard
room in this city, he was always ready
to play all corners who desired q game.
Many strangers and people unknown to
Schaefer naturally strolled in; many,
too, who probable did not know him.
But it made no difference to Schaefer.
Sometimes strangers would desire to
play for money, but this Schaefer would
never do. To all such propositions he
would say: No, won't play for mon.
ey, but I'll tell you what 1 will do
will play a game the loser to treat the
house..
Zone day an old farmer entered the
place, and after wandering about look
ing at the pictures on the walls and ex-
aiming the tables he asked if there
was any one present who would like to
play him game Of billiards. Schaefer,
as usual, said that he would play the
stranger.
elbow much shall we play for?' ask
ed the farmer.
81 never play for money replied
schaefer, but I will play you for the
drinks for the house.
"All right, said the farmer. How
many points shall we play?'
"'Oh, replied schaefer demurely in
all the consciousness Of his superior
powers, we'll just play until you are
satisfied, and we will call that game.
1.-THE crowd smiled as the players
prepared for the contest. The balls were
placed on the table, and Schaefer
brought out his favorite cue, and it fell
to his lot to open the game.
1.-THE opening shot in billiard game
is a somewhat difficult one, as most
players know, and Schaefer, probably
through indifference, missed it. He not
only missed it, but left the balls close
together near one Of the cushions. It
was what is termed in billiard parlance
set up
"The old farmer carefully chalked
his cue, and after deliberation made the
shot He then gazed at the balls mo-
ment, laid down his cue and exclaimed
II am satisfied.
'aThe score was then to O in favor
Of the old farmer, but as Schaefer had
agreed to make the game as long or
short as the farmer desired he had to be
satisfied. Schaefer of course had to in
vite all present, including his conqueror,
to partake of the hospitality of the
house. AS the crowd laughed and drank
schaefer remarked that the game was
the shortest he had ever played, and
probably the shortest on record. New
