GENERALLY SUPERIOR.
Are the Women Who Really Refuse
to Marry.


Generally speaking women who belong
to this class are the best of their sex.
Some people think they prefer single
blessedness because they have s'mis-
sion' which calls them to some useful
work or. other No doubt many of them
do employ theif time with great benefit
toe their fellow creatures; STILL we think
they would have been willing to marry
had they met one whom they could love.
Either they are faithful to the memory
OF the past, or the man whom they could
have married has never crossed their
path. And being women of. the utmost
honor and reetitude,s they prefer "old
maidfsm" to marry for the sake of mar
rying. Says a dear old lady of this type:
mo! I never had {. love story" she said
to us. lone or two men have asked me.
but 1 never, saw him whom 1 could
have loved" DIR. Talmage says: 1.-TWO
cradles, each with It's tiny occupant, com
mence rocking ~ one may be thousands
of miles from stf1e other. Through the
long year those; cradles are rocking to-
ward each other; when they meet there
is marriage made in heaven. But may
be one occupant dies, land then? Well
We have the woman who refuses to
marry" 1859

NAPoLEoN's BELT
That He Wore on the Day of His
Imperial Coronation.

Boston Herald.
The waist belt worn by Napoleon I. on
the day of his coronation in Notre Dame
is in the possession of a French family
living in Paris, and counted among their
greatest treasures. This belt is so small
that it is suspected the emperor must
have had bad quarter of an hour when
he wore it, or was really the slender lit
tie creature history paints him at that
age The relic IS composed of crimson
velvet, embossed with exquisitely chiseled
gold eagles, and is starred with mono
grams in gold filigree. A leather case
in which it has been confined has kept
the belt in perfect preservation. This
French family cannot be persuaded to
relinquish this souvenir to any of the
Napoleonic collections and until now the
secret of it's habitation has been I'M
known, though it was well understood
such a belt had been worn by. Napoleon,
and that it disappeared after the corona

Fully 5000 people escaped the heat of
the city yesterday by taking advantage
of the first really comfortable day this
season for a visit to Lake Como. The
pretty resort never looked fresher nor
more beautiful and the shady lanes, quiet
hooks and green hillsides, in the vicinity
of the pavilion, where the Minnesota
state band discoursed popular pro-
gramme, were crowded. A cool breeze
swept through the park, rendering the
retreat especially enjoyable after the sun
beaten streets of the city.
The band played almost constantly dur
generosity the musicians responded to en-
cores after every number, and the audi
tors were not slow In manifesting their
appreciation of the excellent music rem
dered. The programme was composed of
popular selections, sufficiently seasoned
with gems from the musical classics, and
under Prof, Settings direction, the exc
cution was almost faultless. The band
gave a second concert last evening, which
was almost as literally patronized as that
of the afternoon.
The street car company ran an extra
service for the accommodation Of the
crowds so that transportation facilities
were ample throughout the day.
Large crowds visited Wildwood and
other points on White Bear.

COMPOUND EYES.
South American Fish Can See In
Either Water or Air.

The anableps, or star gazer, a fish of
the cyprodont family, found in the rivers
of Guiana, Surinam and Brazil, has each
of its eyes divided into an upper and a
lower portion by an Opaque horizontal
line. This gives it In effect two pupils
in each eye, one suited for seeing In the
air and the other for seeing in the water
The fish is in the habit of swimming at
the surface with its head sometimes
above, sometimes below, the water line.
The common whirligig beetle gyrinus),
which spends its time circling round and
round on the surface of the water, has
eyes modified in exactly the same man
ner, evidently for similar purpose.
fThese eyes are compound: the simnle
eyes which are found in most insects
along with NE compound are entirely
wanting in the whirligig.

Manila, Nov. T.-Yesterday evening n
fleet of transports and gunhoats left
Manila for the most Important expedi-
ton of the autumn campaign. Its
destination Is supposed to be Dagupan,
or some other northern port. Gen.
Wheaton commands. with a brigade
consisting Of the Thirteenth infantry,
ThiIty-third infantry, two guns Of the
Sixth artillery and two Cuttings. The
transports Sheridan, Francisco de
Reyes and Aztec carry the troops, with
the gunboat Helena as an escort.
A dispatch boat was sent to arrange
a rendezvous with the cruiser Charles
ton and other warships which are pa
trolling the northern coast of LuzOn.
The landing will be made under cover
Of the guns of the fleet. 1t is assumed
here that the purpose of the expedition
is to owe down the Dagupan-Manila
railway toward the east, or 10 prevent
Aguinaldo's forces making another
base further north.
Dagupan and Apparri are strong
holds Of the insurgents in the north,
and it is supposed are the points where
most Of the filibustering expeditions
land. Since the beginning Of hostii-
ties it has been the unanimous opinion
Of military experts here that Dagupan
should be made a
Base of Operations,
but sufficient troops heretofore have
been lacking. With Generals Whea-
ton, Macarthur and Lawton moving
upon the enemy from three directions
and the mountains hemming in the
o,hn- c;ln ~hn fne,p,nntc. nnys,nl mill
oon become untenable. Aguinaldo
may attempt to shift his headquarters
10 the rich tobacco country at the
northern end of the island. Possibly he
may slide around Gen. Lawton's front
TO the southern provinces, but as Mac
Arthur's and Gen. Wheaton's troops
are spread across the country from
Angeles to ~Cabanatuan, ii will be diff
ficult for the insurgents 10 escape.
Should the concerted operations
succeed organized instruction on a
large scale should be at an end early
next spring, although guerilla warfare
is likely TO continue for a long time.
No anticipates that the insurgents
will make many hard battles. The
problem is to move the troops about
the country. to maintain transportation
and I hold the territory gained. The
moral effect of the arrival Of a large
American army is calculated upon to
sap Aguinaldo's strength by assertions
and through the loss of hope among the
supporters Of the revolutionary move
ment.
