WORDS OF WISDOM.

Remember if you marry for beauty. thou bindest myself all thy life for that which, perchanee. will neither last nor please thee one year; and when thou hast 1t, 1t will be to thee of no price al all.-Raleigh
 Blessed are they who have the gift of making friends for it is one. of Gods best gifts It=nvolves many things. but above all tbe power of going out of ones self and seeing and appreciate ing whatever is noble and loving in aPother-Thomas Hughes
 It is not work that kills men: it is worry Work is healthy; you can hard- ly put upon a man more than he can bear. Worry tsrust upon the blade. It is not the revolution that destroys the machinery. but the friction. Fear se- cretes acids but love and trust are sweet juiees.-Beeeaer.
 Hold sorrow till its most selfish as peet passes, III it turns it's religious side to you till time and experience and faith de their work, till We feel not its gloom but it's glory; not its cross. but its crown. Do not through any device, lose is sancufying inau- enee, the greatest loss the soul can meet-J. Y W Ware.
 Secure q good name to myself by Iiy- ing yirtuously and bumbly, but let this good name be nursed abroad and never be brought home to lock upon l. Het others use it. fer their own advantage; let them speak Of it if they please: but do not thou Use 1t at all but as an in- stfament to do God glory and thy nei9hbor more advantage Let thy face, like Moses. shine to others. but make no looking glass for tbyself.- Jeremy Taylor.

Curious Anomaly That Has Just
 Come to Light
 Ethel c. Avery calls attention to the present unique status of Louisiana women. says the Woman's Tribune, as follows: A curious anomaly has just come to light in Louisiana The late constitutional convention gave tax paying women the right to vote upon all questions submitted to taxpayers. It added a clause, unique in the sui frage laws of the county, that any woman who did not wish to go to the polls herself might give proxy to some one else to cast her 9te for her This was done out of chiYalrous regard for the women, who. it was thought, might shrink from contact with the polls. New Orleans is preparing to hold it's first election under the new law. to decide upon tax levy for sewerage and drainage. An examin= ation of the assessors books reveals that there are more than 10000 tax paying women in New Orleans, and the mayor, the city council the presi. dent of the city board of health an6 ether civic dignitaries have been elo- quently urging women to vote in fa- vor of better sanitation for their homes. Some of the women thought they would rather vote by proxy; and this has brought to light the anomaly in question If woman gives a cer= tifeate to 9 proxy 10 vote for her the certificate must be signed by two com petent witnesses. Many New 0sleans women are now finding out for the first time that by Louisiana law, which is based on the old law of France, a woman Is not 3 competent witness to a legal document In Louisiana tax paying women may vote on the expen- allure of their taxes, and in this way are in advance of all the northern and eastern states But while a woman may be a voter in her own right or may cast 8 vote as proxy for another woman she is not legally competent to witness the signing of the certificate.

 The massive carved railings at the sides are all but hid beneath densely growing vines that have been trained to form two slanting walls of foliage there, says Harpers Weekly. Two towering ralms. one on either side of the grand staircase. hold up their round cloudHke tops of feathery fronds as if they were a pair of huge brushes the symbols of power amopg most eastern peoples. A breadth of carpet, royal purple in hue, has been flung down the middle of the stairway. and on the top landing. before the splendid columns which support the Grecian front of the palace stand men of the yieeroy's brilliant red bodyguard, tur- haned and carrying lanees. each with a tiny flag at top. The bodyguard is composed of 12o men. picked for their size and bearing They wear long red coats. which reach to their boot-tep5 above their knees, Their variegated turbans, mainly red are of great size. Their many minor trappings aid in rendering them notable feature of any scene in which they are placed. Except upon occasions of state. the carriage entrance to the palace is un- der the grand staircase and on the ground floor As you step from your carriage you see other gorgeous men of the bodyguard and knots of sery- ants Of the household lounging in the enormous hall I wish I had inquired the number of servants in the vice roy's employ. because they are. so nu- merous that when one dimes at the palace they seem to move in clouds around the table I visited a native prince one day in the temporary quar- ters where be was halting. and he had sixty-five men to look after his com forts. Of the vieeroy's staff can only say that when you visit him you do not need to take your valet with you to wait on you at table. as is the gen, eral rsle in India.

San Francisco. Jan. 2.-The Very Rev
John ]. Prendergast, vicar general of the
archdiocese of San Francisco and adviser
of Miss Virginia Fair is not negotiating
with the Vatican to obtain Miss Fair a
dispensaton to be married in Protestant
church.
He has not undertaken to obtain any
ecclesiastical privileges for his. friend.
nor has Miss Fair solicited his endeavors
or his influence.
That is a matter concerning the arch
diocese of New York said Father Prem
dergast, land could have no sensible con-
nection with San Francisco. Miss Fair is
a resident of New York. and from there
would conduct what correspondence she
might have with the Roman court.
I'm the first place, it would be quite
useless to apply for a dispensation to en-
able a Catholic to wed in a Protestant
church. Mixed marriages are not uncom-
mon, but the church prescrbes that they
shall not be celebrated in certain Places
and under certain conditions, and there
are no exceptions"

THE STANFORD ESTATE.
Ten Millions Left for the University
After Paying Bcqucsts.


San Francisco, Jan. Now that the
courts have ordered the division OF the Le-
land Stanford estate, it is interesting to
know just how great a fortune is con-
cerned.
At the death of Senator Stanford the eS-
tate was estimated TO be worth 81 0C0 600
Counting out the payment of beques.s, the
estate still exceeds 10000, 600 The income
from Mrs. Stanford's interest and the por-
tion left to the university is about 81 co..,
600 year.
1t was to tide over a season OF financial
disaster that Mrs. Stanford twice had the
court cut down her own income until now
ii is but about $1,000 month, and on one
occasion she pledged her jewels in order
to raise funds. Except this 81 900 per
month the entire income of the estate is
now devoted TO the university.
The principal individual legatees of the
late Senator, in addition to Mrs Stanford
were Thomas Stanford, brother of the de-
ceased. who received 81 ,000, 600. and Charles
Stanford, Jennie Stanford Byington Nora
Stanford Wells, Leland Stanford Lathrop
Maude Stanford Kinmouth and Winfield
Scott Stanford, nieces and nephews who
received 100000 each The 81 ,00O. 600 be-
queathed to Thomas Stanford will revert
