though published November 20, it has
guages. France did not express much
appreciation over the autobiography of
Bismarck. 1t contained too many ref
erences to Sedan to Gravelotte, and to
the siege of Paris for her tender SEN
sibilities. Russian sensibilities have
proved still more tender, and the i'm
perial press censor has refused Rus
sian booksellers permission to place
the work on sale There are many
SUBJECTS which Bismarck Treats with a
to the delicately organized ear of the
Russian; for instance, Bismarck
speaks of the murder of car Paul; the
Russians speak of it always as a sud
den demise On the oath of last
month the work appeared in an Italian
translation.
1t is unfortunate that the iron chan
cellor did not live to enjoy the success
Of his book. 1t is a sure sign that
throughout his misfortunes through
puL the Diliti ytdlS VI MS Olu dSt,
his people still believed in him. It is
to Bismarck credit that his autobi-
ography is neither pettish nor pessi-
mistic, and it is safe to say that the
best monument TO his memory will be
half a million copies of his book in as
many German homes, and as many
more copies scattered throughout the
world. A man who has such a monu-
ment need care but little what marble
mausoeums are raised above his ashes,
or in what sarcophagus he sleeps. Our
illustration shows the sarcophagus OF
Prince Bismarck which lately arrived
at Friedrichsruh, and which has been
placed in the newly built mausoleum.
1t is made of pink marble from the de-
signs of Herr Schurbach, of Hanover,
and is in the strictly Roman style. Its
dimensions are 10 feet long, broad,
and 51A inches high

tom and the ready-made designs. That
the waists are to be more elaborate
than ever will be readily seen.
Rows of shlrrlng will be the novelty
of the season
Especially correct and pretty for
both younger and older persons is the
one having three plaits on each side OF
the front, each plait having a finish
OF fagotting or hemstitching.
The combination of shirring and
narrow box-plaiting is another style.
Custom made shirt waists are
fastened down the front by five but
tonholes, and round buttons are used
in preference to studs, though they are
usually removable, being fastened by
rings on the wrong side.
Sleeves are scarcely as full as those
of last seasons, but yet not as tight
as a dress sleeve. Cuffs are not de-
tachable, and there is the choice OF
round or square corners. The backs
of the shirt waists are very simple,
showing the traditional yoke and con-
verging plaits TO the belt
The seasons novelty in materials
will be the striped and small-plaided
linens. White linen will be equally
stylish and probably even more popu-
lar. Embroidered and printed pique,
chevoit. percale, Egyptian cotton and
dimity are also all correct.

BISMARK'S MONUMENT.


With the single exception of Bis
marck's Autobiography, the greatest
success ever achieved by any publica-
ton in Germany was a pamphlet by
Professor Quidde, entitled "Caligula. "
This pamphlet had, however, from a
publishers point of view, everything IN
its favor. Its very title savored of the
sensational, and the German reading
public knew beforehand that Caligula
was in reality comparison OF the in
sane Roman emperor with the present
kaiser.
Put on sale at the extremely low
price OF ten cents, it took the pamphlet
eighteen months to sell 100000 copies
To know how far, comparatively
speaking, the sale of Bismarck ex-
ceeos that of Caligula, is it only neces-
sary to know that $4,000 copies of the
former had been ordered before the
book was published. The fact, too
that the price Of the iron chancellor
autobiography was twenty marks, OF
nearly fifty times the cost of Caligula
makes the comparison the more strik-
ing. The rights in the United States
were secured by Harper & Brothers. In
England it has had great sale AL

A FEATHERED WONDER
Bird Worth Considerable More Than
Its Weight in Gold.

Possibly the rarest of all teatherad
creatures. Is ,.hs "takahen h,ra ~ A.,
Zealand. Science names it Notornis
Mantelli. The first one ever seen nv
white eyes was caught in 1S49. A sec
ond came to white hands in 1881
Like the first, it was tracked over
snow and caught with dogs, fighting
stoutly and uttering piercing screams
of rage until overmastered. Both
became the property of the British
Museum. After that it was not seen
again until 1879. That years speci-
men went to the Dresden Museum, at
the cost of $500. The fourth. which
was captured last fall in the fords
of Lake Tie Anau, in New Zealand, has
been offered to the government there
for the tidy sum of $3.50.
Thus 1t appears that the bird ia
precious; worth very much more than
its weight in gold. The value. OF
course, comes of rarity The wise
men were beginning to set it down as
extinct. Scarcity aside, it must be
worth looking at--a gorgeous creature
about the size of big goose, with
breast, head and neck of the richest
dark blue, growing dullish as Il
reaches the under parts. Back, wings
and the plumage throughout has
metallic luster. The tail is very short,
and has underneath it thick patch OF
soft pure white feathers.
Having wings, the takahe flies not
The wings are not rudimentary, but
the bird makes no attempt to use
them. The legs are longish and very
stout, the feet not webbed. and fur
nished with sharp, powerful claws
The oldest feature of all is the bill, an
equilateral triangle of hard pink horn.
Along the edge, where it joins the
head, there is strip of soft tissue
much like the rudimentary comb OF a
barnyard fowl.

The Enterprise Manufacturing COM
pany, of this city, received last Satur-
day its first order for 10000 yards of
cotton goods to be shipped to Cuba.
Hostilities between Spain and the
United States had not been suspended
more than a week when the alert pres
ident of this company had his samples
on their way TO Cuba and Porto
Rico and as a reward for his prompt
ness gets his first order, with a pro-
mise OF many more, as the style OF
samples this company sent are well
adapted to Cuban wants. We con-
graduate President Verdery upon his
enterprise in getting into this new
field so promptly with his goods.
There viii no doubt be a growing field
for our cotton goods in the islands OF
Cuba and Porto Rico, and il is val

KISSED BY JOHN BROWN.
Now. Owen Carter is Good For Nothing
Except Chicken Stealing.

John Brown OF Ossawatomie, they led
him out to die,
And, 10, poor slave mother with her
little babe pressed nigh;
And the bold blue eyes grew tender
and the old harsh face grew mild
AS he stopped between the jeerine
ranks and kissed the negro's
child. Whittier.
What became of the little piccaninny
on whose nutbrown cheek Ossawato-
mic pressed a kiss as dramatic and
significant as that of Judas, and more
lasting than a thousand and one oil
Hobson's insane exploits?
The erstwhile babe is owen Carter

old, and from that bright October
morning in the year of grace 1853
when the principal actor in curtain
raiser to a tragedy which cost mill
ion of Americas men, six billions Of
her treasure and plunged the nation
into mourning from that memorable
October Gay, when John Brown OF Os-
sawatomie was led out to be hanged
by the neck until dead" Owen Carter
has never performed a days honest
labor, and certain it is that, unless he
turns over a new leaf and becomes
radically a changed man, he never
will
The kiss spoiled his usefulness, and
he has lived upon its memory, the tips
of curious tourists and the veneration
and free-will offerings of his race ever
since.
But there is one line of industry in
which the quasi historic owen is pro-
ficient and by dint of earnest applica-
ton and much practice, has become a
past master. This is chicken steal
ing. He can gag and bag a lusty
cockerel or a high-perched gobbler
with the ease and defines of Herr
mann fishing ducks out of woman s
bonnet or eggs out of boys ear.
When the shades of dusk begin 20
gather on the far distant West Vir-
ginia hills owen Carter, "rhe man that
John Brown kissed" rouses himself

on a bench in front of his blazing
hearth, and prepares for lucrative
nights prowl among the henroosts OF
