structure, removes landmark vaguely
associated in the annals of the neigh

years ago is reached. The buildings
were then occupied as resorts for sail

leading from Roosevelt to Cherry
street, in which a Roosevelt street resi-
dent declares there were three mur-
Gers within as many months.

The Woman of the AngeIus.

Barbizon, little village in the midst
of the forest of Fontainebleau, short
distance from Paris, has become a goal
of pilgrimage for many admirers of
Millet's work, and particularly for
those who know that the woman who
suggested to the great painter his ia
nous picture of "The Angelus" still
lives there in little cottage stones
throw from where she was born. Mere
Adele's home is small vineclad cot
tage, in which she lives frugal but
comfortable life, troubled only by the
overinquisitive tourists and by her
rheumatism. She must have been an
attractive woman once, for even now,
although she has witnessed the pass
ing of more than threescore years and
ten, there are traces of former beauty
in her wrinkled face.
Mere Adele is a lady, though she has
worn her fingers blunt by toll, and her
form is bent under the burdens she
has had to bear. When she looks at
you her smile is like benedition, and
the beautiful things of earth are not
lost upon her. Her manner is cheer
full, as one who feels she has not lived
in vain. If questioned closely she will
tell you of the day when the great
artist came through the dense forest
with his wife and children, leaving be-
hind him the gay city of Paris with it's
schools of painting and its models.
She knows great deal of the very
hard days which followed for Jean
Francois Millet-the toll, the anxiety.
the disappointments. She nursed his
five children, and did the little field
work in the garden adjoining the cot
tage. When he saw his nurse-girl,
Adele, and her father reverently bow
ing their heads in prayer at the ring
ing of the Angelus he conceived the
picture which, if not his best work. is
yet the best known, and the one most
appreciated by the people. Mere
Adele calls herself h child of God. She
looks it in the painting, and she lives it
every day in her humble cottage

How to Take Care of Pearls.

Pearls are undoubtedly one of the
most beautiful of precious stones, and
those persons who are fortunate pos
SCISSORS Of them have, doubtless, been
puzzled many time as to the best
way of keeping them nice.
A good way OF Frightening up the
appearance of pearls Is to wash them
in soap and water, that is, if they are
what is known as "whole" pearls.
But should they be only half pearls,
the greatest care must be exercised in
keeping them out of water, as this
fluid affects their color and lustre,
and in time causes them to become
quite black.
People whopossess a ring or brooch
| that consist of half pearls find it a
most difficult matter to clean them.
When they look dirty, just take dry,
clean leather and polish them, and
then that being done take Jft brush
and go gently over the settings, and
yoa will be surprised at the increased
lustre and clean look which this sim.
pie process has given to the pearls.
Pearls are valued according to their
color and lustre, and SO, if the color
fades, so does the value, and pearls
that are kept locked up for any length
of time lose their color entirely. The
weaving of pearls do them far more
good, and the great pity is that some
people who have in their possession
pearl necklaces and rings never allow
them to see daylight, but keep them
locked away in jewel case. and thus

Ernest Whitehead captured a young

ship, says Our Dumb Animals. AS the
vessel started the mother seal was no.

at Santa Barbara the captive was tied
up in jute sack and left loose on the
deck. Soon after coming to anchor

by casting itself overheard, all tied up
as it was in the sack. The mother
seized the sack, and with her sharp
teeth tore it open. She had followed
the sloop eighty miles.

"CANCWAYI"
A New War Cry Raised by Our Men in
the Philippines.


The Manila correspondent of Col
lier's Weekly. writes as follows: The
enemy were invisible and shooting.
That made it necessary for Uncle
Sans troopers to go on until they got
near enough to get a-good~ close view
of the little brown enemy. And they
did it with splendid spirit, rushing,
shooting, cheering and laughing. Two
companies of Cooks battalion of the
Third were ordered to the left of the
railroad, while the other two COM
panies, under Captain Cook, kept to
the right of the track. AlEfour of the
companies were made up' mainly Of
"rookies," rs recuits are called, but
they made up in spirit what they
lacked in effective drill.
AS the two companies to the left of
the track, under Captain Day and
Lieutenant Hannay, got their first
glimpse of the shooting enemy their
officers shouted out to steady their
commands. 1t was unnecessary, One
tall rocky, who was the first to catch
sight of the heads of the mass of Fill
pinos ahead, yelled gleefully: "Gang-
way!" With one accord the two COM
panies took up the cry of "Gangway!"
and on they rushed. 1t was their
slogan. They kept it up until they
reached the thrown-up dirt of the
trench and saw the Filipinos, now IN
irregular mass, fleeing a hundred
yards ahead of them. The Filipinos
gained another trench, but "Gang-
wayl' was the battle cry that drove
them out of it. 1t was the same with
the third line of trenches. Parenthet-
ically, it is understood, of course,
that our boys shot off something be-
sides "Gangway!" Dead and wound
ed Filipinos strewed the ground and
filled the trenches. Our losses all
along the line that day were tri-
fling by comparison. Days and Han
ney's companies, for instance, which
suffered rather more than the average
losses, had five men killed and eleven
wounded.
But that cry of "Gangway!" is fam
Gus over in the Filipinos lines. In
surgents who have been brought in
either wounded or prisoners have in
quired eagerly the meaning and po-
tency of that mysterious Yankee word
which invariably preceded Filipino
retreat. And so the Third has con-
tributed anothar famous word to the
technical slang of the American SOL
dier,

The Revival of Coral,

Coral beads used to be considered
the correct and necessary thing to
wear, with muslin gowns and other
pretty, old-fashioned toilets appro-
priated by the present fashion.
Perhaps, also, if there be one color
in jewelry as to the beauty of which
all tastes, from tho least cultivated to
that of the connoisseur, accord, it is
for red In its various tones. Its re-
vival began in the favorite old form of
beads. 1t has found its best field
again in the fashionable long chains,
and it is in this line that jewellers
make their principal display. Next
to chains in extent of display come
brooches and pins. A dainty new
fancy noted is the combination of
pearls and coral in one or two fine
brooches, the design being a crescent
inclosing a star. An establishment
catering to the finest trade reports
coral unequivocally as looming in"
and displays variety of chains and
some new designs in pins and brooches.

There is an epidemic of fleas in one
of the New York markets.

The Baltimore and Ohio South West
ern Railroad placed in service several
months ago five large ten wheel COM
pound passenger engines for use on fast
trains between Cincinnati and st. Louis.
The performance of these engines has
been eminently satisfactory and up to
the highest expectation.
THE same line has also in service so
consolidation compound freight engines
which provide ample power for the
entire line in addition to what was al
ready In use. The compound engines
were an experiment but hard service
has proved that they are entirely sue
cessful and show a saving of 10 per
cent. in fuel as compared with simple
engines of the same type. Exhaustive
tests were made with both the simple
and compound locomotives before the
order for the entire lot was placed with
the result vastly in favor of the COM
pound locomotives.

Rats and Trap Swallowed by a Snake.
A remarkable snake story that is
vouched for by the family of Charles
Braddock, Sr., of Shamong Township,
N. j., is told by John Dellett, tie
hired man. 'a'
Dellett went to the barn the other
day to milk the COWS. Upon entering
one of the stalls he saw large white
throated bfacksnake. 1t was curled
up i'll an apparently comfortable posi-
ton, and it was noticed that rats
tail was hanging from its mouth.
Dellett summoned Mr.. Braddock ant.
other members of his family. At
first the men arranged to give battle
to the reptile, when it was found to
be dead. An examination showed
that in its hunger and greed to get
the rats, three in number, the snake
had swallowed the trap and all. This
caused its death.

Keep Up the Diary.

A thoughtful woman says that the

in young girls, as writing down the

immaturity and inexperience tends to
the development of self lf-consciousness

can do more harm than good. A diary,
however, is different matter, and
should be encouraged, as it may be OF
value in after years, in its record Of
