Would Be One Among Many.

Enterprising foreigners desiring to
enter into matrimonial relations Win
American women would do we'll TO
ponder on the case of Count Matte
Liewen Stierngranat, son of the cham-
berlain of King Oscar of Sweden, VINO
is now in Jail in New York city on
charge of breach of promise preferred
by young lady of wealth and position.
The count is a good example OF the no
BILE foreigner who cometh to Columbia
to seek bride and fortune. He was
arrested two weeks ago at the suit OF
Miss Lesbia NJ Boswick, who alleged
in her petition that she had reason to
believe that the count was about TO
sail for Sweden, and not marry her, as
he had promised. The count was i'm
mediately arrested and, being unable to
give $500 bail, was committed to Jail.
The count is a tall, handsome-look-
ing young man of q years, and has all
the appearance of a gentleman born
and bred. 1t is evident that he does
not consider the offense particularly
heinous one, and is more surprised at
the incarceration than concerned as to
his fate. He explained to the justice
before whom he was arraigned:
Il was not aware that l was obliged
to marry her simply because had be-
come engaged. 1t was my impression
that I could become engaged to as
many girls as l desired, and did not
necessarily have to marry any of them
until l had really found that one had
suited me best"
He was informed that although such
might be the custom in Sweden, 1t
could not go in America, and reserved
his decision. His father is one of the
richest and most influential men on the
Scandinavian peninsula and, although
it is improba BILE that $4,000 will be
paid over to the unhappy lady whose
affections the stalwart Swede has
stolen, he will undoubtedly be made tc
pay dearly for his presumption.

DON'T DEFACE LETTER BOXES.
If You DO You Are Liable to a $1,000
Fine.

Among the United States statutes
relative to the postofIice department is
one which provides a penalty of $1,000
fine or two years Imprisonment for
any DETACHMENT of letter boxes, says
the New York Mail and Express. The
law rested in a state of innocuous des-
uetude for years until it was brought
to the attention of Postmaster Hicks
of Philadelphia recently, and he has
been laying plans to enforce it, In a
recent trip through the city he discov-
cred that the mail receptacles every
where were in shabby condition, din
gy with dirt and marred with match
scratches innumerable. On his return
to the postoffice he wrote to the post
master-general at Washington asking
that he be allowed to make a contract
for repainting the receptacles. Word
came from Washington to go ahead
with the work, and the contract has
already been let and the work COM
menced. 1t will take about forty days
to give the $3.50 letter boxes and 300
package receptacleS their new coats,
but as the work progresses special Of
ficers in citizens clothes are stationed
along the route to watch for people
who dare to disfgure the new paint
coats, and a placard has been hung on
each of the posts quoting the statute
in question and calling the attention of
the public to it. The principal often
| ders against the statute are smokers,
who utilize Uncle Sans property for
match scratchers. The paint used is
a silvery gray and has been specially
prepared. 1t contains phosphorus in
large quantities, which it is hoped will
make the boxes so conspicuous at night
that people will have no difficulty in
finding them. Should the paint prove
a shining light it will very likely be
adopted all over the country.

Maiden of the POmpadOur.

The whirling of time has brought the
feminine coiffure back to the days OF
the latter end of the eighteenth cen
tury and meglmania is the affliction of
all well-dressed women at present.
This abnormal development of head is
brought about by a system of blowing
and putting and stuffing and pompa-
douring, the like of which has not been
seen since the days of George Ill I'm
fortunately the prevailing coiffure is
very difficult to build gracefully and
stately without the aid of skillful
maid or hairdressers art, and too
sadly often is the hat of the times
popped upon an elaboration Of silky
locks that more nearly resemble last
years crows nest than a sweet wom-
ans head. The end and aim of all eff
fort in hairdressing is to have the
hugest frowning frontlet of pompa-
dour possible, and deliberate balloon
like effect behind. A series of combs
and a system of rats are the necessary
apparatus for the erection of such stud
led artificiality, and few women bother
any longer to wave and curl. The
pompadour is best when it rolls back
quite smoothly, but the back hair is oc-
casionally crimped little and then
what is left of hair ends for coiling is
drawn up into small roll or close
Psyche knot on the crown. Untidy as
SO out of 700 of these puffy heads are,
the effect of loose billowing hair about
the face is almost sure to be becom-
ing. Then both blouse and pompadous
rolls are used as pincushions in small
way for more or less ornamental hall
brooches. During the day, when shop
ping and calling, little wreath Of golt
set with colored stones, the whole af
fair no bigger than twenty-fve-cen
piece, is considered sufficient, but al
night, really splendid ornaments gilt

A Mem, e

Slowly fades the misty twilight
Ger the thronged am. noisy town;
Storms are gathered in the distance,
And the clouds above ii f.own.
Yet before Inc leaves sway lightly
In the huShed and drowSy air.
And the trees new-clothed in verdure
Have no summer of despair
I have gazed into the darkness,
Seeking in the busy crowd
For form once passing onward
With a step as firm and proud;
For a face upturned in gladness
To the window where l leaned,
Smiling with an eager welcome,
Though step but intervened
Even now my cheek is flushing
With the rapture of that gaze,
And my heart as then beats wildly.
Oh, the memory of those days
AS dear, dear dream it cometh,
Swiftly as a dream it flies!
No one springeth now unto me,
Smiling with such earnest eyes
No one hastens home at twilight,
Watching for my hand to wave;
For the form / seek so vainly
Sleepeth in the silent grave
And the eyes have smiled in dying
Blessing me with latest life
Oh, my friend! above the discord
OF the last, wild, earthly strife.

COOKING SCHOOL.
FishhOuse Punch.

To every pint of lemon juice add
three pints of this mixture: One-half
mint of Jamaica rum, one gill Of best
peach brandy one gill of cognac, four
pounds of sugar loaf, five quarts OF
water. When ice is added use less
water, for too much water will ruin
the best punch ever made. Stir in each
ingredient as it is added to get the best
effects; the water should not be boiled.
The oil in the lemon rinds is essential.
and the best way to extract it is to rub
the rind of the lemon with lump of
sugar.

Fruit Punch.

A good fruit punch is made thus:
fair-skinned lemons with loaf sugar;
put this into the punch bowl with the
juice of the lemons and half the num-
ber of Oranges-red ones when pro-

stirring, strawberries, cherries, rasp-
berries or whatever the small fruit in

as at that moment Baynes entered the
bar, followed by a large kangaroo dog.
Il have come down for the mail bags.
Is the coach in yet?" inquired Baynes.
"Yes; been in an hour or more.
There's the bags on the floor

them up, and making for the door, as
if he were about to go.

For Redmount?" echoed Baynes.

CHAPTER x.

The night was dark, and the low We
randa prevented the dim light from
within shining upon his features as he
sat silently in his saddle.
Presently Sullivan came out, follow
ed by the stranger, who seemed un-
steady in his gait, and had evidently
been drinking.
Are you from Redmount station?"
asked the newcomer huskiy.

and trying to get a glimpse of the
mans features. But he did not succeed
in doing SO, for the stranger stood in
the doorway with his back to the light.
"Do you know chap by the name
of Robert Luke?"
"Luke?" echoed Baynes and Sullivan
in one breath.
"Yes, Luke-Robert Luke. Why, you
both seem quite astonished. l am his
brother, William Luke"
Sullivan was the first to speak.
"If you are Bob Luke's brother,

Let me see," replied William Luke,
pulling some papers out of his breast

that's the very day on which he disap-
peared!"
Good heavens, and l have come all
this way But stop, you-halloa-
tell that man to stop! | have a message
for Mr.. Hall"
But, while they were examining the
letter near the lamp over the bar
Baynes had started off into the dark
ness; and the sound of his horses feet
was now scarcely to be heard, as he
galloped along the track leading to the
station.
