Matrons lifted their eyebrows and
young wives ~ hooed z through their
lips when BERTHE Wyngram engaged
himself to Mrs. James Taunton. After
casting their horoscopes, people were
rampant In prediction and went about '
like itching seers, prop hetically heart
full. Ruthlessly they traced the cou-
pied destinies through gin to pitfallE--,-
from altar rail to hearse. #st
When young bachelor marries an

ly tell in herself how she had fallen
In love in so unseemly and irrational
a manner.
Colonel Taunton, G. B., Of the Indian
staff corps, was, in his regiment, nero
and a gentleman. He preserved his
Quips and kind moods for his mess,
and dangled the other and the knotted
side of the string at home. Only to
her bed pillow, at night, she turned her
face and told her misery in sobs.
Luck, nevertheless, dubbed for her
when at AZ he completed promising
career-burnt to death by curry and
French brandy.
Living now in the flame of West
London, with windows watching on
the Green Park, she held open doors to
most who cared to enter. She asked
nothing from the women but clean
bills, and from the men deft manners
and the faculty to talk.
A man in a scrape, or wanting to be
something, or to get somewhere, was
sure Of help from her. Her ear and
influence was ever open to such. Her
friends said that sympathy with her
was frailty. But in general she
judged fifty. Certainly she lifted Ber-
tie Wyngram to his secretaryship to
Mr.. Whistworth, M. P, wherein he
prospered. And in the ripening time
he wheeled into the colonial office at
easy breathing, escaping the elbows OF
competition.
BERTHE and she closed in and were
exceedingly friendly. They ate, plot
ted and smoked, and schemed and
considered humanity together. In such
relations, one or other of the meeting
parties is sure to move, sometimes few,
sometimes many, degrees nearer to the
other.
In the beginning she had stifled her
misgivings in the mantle Of Plato. Now
as he steered, she drifted. He had
found her wealthy, kind and unremit-
tingly useful. He cultivated her with
diplomatic suavity, without heat, or
hope, or unmannered fancy. But he
sometimes thought as he looked ana
listened, what pity indeed she was
so unspeakably plain. ...

Movable Fixtures.

We cannot but believe that much
every way would be gained If in all
of our poultry houses the. ''hxings"
were movable. The roosts especially
should be SO constructed that they
may be easily taken down and cleaned.
This will also make it easy to clean
out the henhouse. It takes but a few.
minutes to. do the work when the
roosts and other obstacles have been
taken out of DOORS We have movable
roosts constructed in the following
manner: Two long, low ''horses" are
fixed with Sits in the top Of the cross
pieces, into which the roosts can be
dropped. Each horse is ten feet long.
If we want the roosts two feet apart
this will give us five rocsts. The
roosts are square at the ends, SO as to
fall easily into the square grooves.
Each roost is twelve feet long. This
makes sitting room for large flock
Of fowls. zs$s# 4. u. .s.:. s.s@.s

Dame de Paris, At Sunset, and the

upon her work. Mr.. Jurgensen has a

Of these who have settled there to

wrought by fasting and faggellatiOn
of the appetite. Let us hope she
treats them with the Difference they
deserve and rarely get.
Miss Parker, who has resigned her
place at the head Of the art school and
who goes to New York at the end of
this semester, has number of pic
lures not catalOgued. Among them
there are two portraits, and study of
candle light and of sunlight through
loaded paneS that makes ones heart
beat in unmixed joy of light and color
and the poetry and wordless beauty of
a maiden face. There is no anecdote
connected with any of these. You
might call them opus one, two and
three and etude four, for there is one
beauty OF the stars and another Of
books and another of music and still
another of pictures and it is as neces-
sary to "keep things seprate" on the
plains as on the ocean or in the time
Of the Psalmist.
Miss Walsh has also five pictures.
English Flower Garden is bit of
color as brave and true and fresh as
anything in the room. 1t is small
picture, perhaps foot square, but it
carries across the room and has
brought many a visitor nearer by it's
beautiful color. Two peasant women
who have stopped for greetings on
their way home from market, are we'll

of Ely cathedral in water cOlors Is also
charming. On the other side of the

The benefaction Of a book Is like the
gift OF wings. Nothing shows the
growth of the appreciation Of books
and their blessings more than the
Openhandedncss and trust with which
books are loaned to the bOOkless
in some Of these ve'y circulating
branches in New York city. "In a
SiXty-ninth street building" says
Marion Wilcox. "when out OF circu.
lation Of 100000 volumes only two
were stolen in one year the directors
saw that they could trust their people
and adopted the open shelf plan" The
building was originally a stable, and
Marion Wilcox says she has even seen
"a child of three perched on a stool
helping herself to picture books and
enjoying them with as little embar-
rassment as though the rows OF books
for young people had been in nur-
sery library at home"
Apropos of the travelling library,
which it is hoped the legislature will
make an appropriation for, fifty years
ago Farmers library" was estab-
lished in New York state. Once q
month all the volumes composing the
library were put in bushel basket
and thus carried from the home OF the
Librarian to the old schoOlhOuSe on the
village green There the men and
women met together and an auction
was held by the librarian in this style:
Holding aloft a book, after a few
words of description he said, "WiShed
for?' Some one would respond and II
there were no competitors his wish
was granted and he could have the
book for a month. But II the book
were popular it would be ''wished for"
by others and a lively bidding COM
menced with one cent and frequently
reached five before Il months resi-
dence was assigned to tho book. Com
pare this modest beginning OF free
public library in New York with the
annual distribution Of books from the
various branches of a single metro
politan library in New York city
which circulates about one million
five hundred thousand volumes. The
book appetite grows by what it feeds
on and no work grows by such rapid
geometrical progression as library
work.

The picture exhibit now hung in
the art gallery at She university is the
best one ever shown here. Last year,
although the average was not SO high
the exhibit was more popular on &C.
count Of the much advertised picture,
Breaking Home Ties. This picture
was surrounded by crowd of people
at the worlds fair, who fancied, be-
cause the central figure aroused feel.
iDgs of home and mother. that it was
a great picture and a marvel of draw
ing, color and composition, instead of
being merely a touching anecdote.
Very few OF the pictures shown this
year are not of greater artistic merit
than last years "drawing card"
Nevertheless the exhibit has not been
we'll patrOnized, even by the members
Of the Hayden Art club who have
agreed to contribute dollar a year at
least to the objects for which the
club was organized. The club must
raise five hundred dollars year and
unless it is accomplished now per-
sonal canvass will have to be made
among the members Of the club.
Among the very few who have spent
time, money and effort to bring this
great exhibition together great disap-
pointment is expressed at the lack of
interest shown by those whose custom
1t Is to talk about art quite passion
ately when such expression does not
cost anything. But now that exam
pies OF the very best work of modern
artists may be seen every day by pay
ment Of the annual membership fee of
one dollar, the interest abates and the
members OF the art department Of the
wOmen's club and other clubs which
profess devotion to art in the abstract
on the other side of the ocean and un-
attainable, begin to talk about some
thing else, like the Milanese cathe-
dral or st. Marks, admiration for which
can not possibly make their refusal to
pay a aquarter to see once, or a dollar
to see whenever desired, seem incon-
sistent. All hum! we all Of us talk so
much and mean SO little Of it. But in
this case it is an extraordinary pity,
because the artists we refuse to look
at are among the very best. They
are decorated with medals from the
French salon, and seeing us turn away
from works OF genius they can but
think 1t is Of little use to loan us their
pictures. For they are loaned, either
through the unselfish grace of their
owners, through love Of beauty and
the desire to share it, or on account OF
the persistent requests from the cor

The seat Of provisional government
up to the present is at Moca. There
was some disorder here. The resi-

body, however, was injured. Henri

that the other ministers will do the
same.

TRIAL OF RIOTERS.
Two Women Among the Negro Prisoners.
No Change of Venue.

Darien Ga. Sept. 1.-The trial Of
five of the negro rioters began this
morning. Among them are two women
Sheriff Blount and his special deputy
4. A. Bailey, who intended to carry
Henry Delegal to savannah. but who
were irtimidated by the presence of
the negroes and the ringing of the
church bells, was called to the stand.
Mr.. Bailey swore that he went TO the
jan with the intention of assisting the
sheriff in taking the prisoner away,
when he heard the bell ring and saw
the negroes gathering, some with guns
and all excited.
One of the men now on trial. James
Wylly, was heard by Mr.. Bailey to say
that If Delegal was taken from Jail the
streets of Darien would run with blood.
The sensational feature of Sheriff
Biounts testimony was that he sum
moned a number of negroes to guard
the Jail after the demonstration, and
among them was Ben Dunham, whom
he had seen in the crowd with a gun
at the height of the tumult. Mr..
Rtount explained that he had placed
these guards at the Jail to ease the
minds of the negro population.
W. C. Charlton is conducting the ex-
animation of witnesses for the prose
cution and Judge II. d, D, Twiggs for
the defense.
The indictments returned by Nhe
grand jury were all for rioting. Thirty
seven true bills We're returned, and in
22 cases no bills We're found. This
action Of the jury in turning loose y
of the men under arrest left no excuse
for a motion for change of venue,
and no motion of that kind was made.
The trial will continue several days,
