Harcourts Abssnt-Mindedness.

Sir William Vernon Harcourt Is very
absent minded. Going to a dinner on a
Monday night, he noticed a look of sur
prise on the faces of his host and host
ess, but thought 10 more about it, and
spent a pleasant evening. On Tues
day, Wednesday and Thursday he at
tended dinners at other houses with
the same result, and on Friday, while
keeping the list of his engagements
for the week, which were marked down
In his book, he found that the butler,
who was to him, was an old
acauaintance-had formerly been in
his service. The man, however, started
back and gazed at him open-mouthed.
whats the matter, john" asked the
statesman. Didn't you expect me to
dinner?" Eyes. Sir William" explain
ed the butler, "but 1t wasn't tonight.
It was for Friday of next week" In
vestigation of the engagement book ex-
planned the mystery. Each page noted
a weeks engagements. Sir William,
In his haste, had turned over two
pages, and had thus been keeping en-
gagements which only fell due a week
later.

1t has long been a subject of won
der that Lizzie Borden has remained
In Fall River seeking to live down the
inevitable connection of her name
with the most terrible crime OF the
century. When the law declared her
innocent, 1t is asked, would she not
have been more than justified in shak-
ing the dust of Fall River from her
feet forever. and going elsewhere for
happiness and a home? What would
any honest, outraged victim feel after
vindication but indignation and con-
tempt for a community that has per-
sistently and remorsely sought to
prove her guilty?
And again it Is asked, If she thought
1t best to remain and live down crit
icism, why, in the full consciousness
of her innocence. did she not instant
ly begin a search for the murderer Of
her father?
Lizzie Borden had a fortune, and the
best detective skill in the country,
with all the power of the law, was at
her command.
In 1892 a noted funeral was held in
this town of Fall River. In the coffin
were the remains of father and step
mother, hacked to pieces with an ak

The solemnity of hat fearful day still
hangs like a pail over all belonging
to the unfortunate Borden family. Mr..
Andrew J.. Borden, the father Of Liz
zie, was numbered among the wealthy
and influential men of the city. Be-
sides owning valuable farms and real
estate in town, he was president OF
the Union Savings bank, a director OF
the Merchants Manufacturing Com
pany, of a safe deposit company, of the
Troy Cotton and Wooden Manufac-
tory and other money-making enter
prises, besides a large and prosperous
undertaking concern in Fall River.
Just before his assassination he had
built one of the finest business blocks
in the city.
The Bordens came from one Of the
Oldest and most representative New
England families, and a noted trait
for 200 years of all bearing the name
has been fearlessness and ~unbending
will when pursued or pursuing. When
once embarked in a scheme or enter
prise, when once determined to carry
out a purpose, they never yield. This
trait, it is declared, is possessed in ap
eminent degree by Lizzie Borden.

ROSE

A correspondent of the Westminster
Budget thus describes Rosa Bonheur:
still hard at work as ever, active as
a girl and full of vivacity, it is difficult
to believe that Rosa Bonheur is in her
seventy-eighth year.. AS my visit was
not that of the interviewer, never al
lowed to cross her courtyard, but of a
friend of a dear English friend, l will
say nothing of her surroundings, her
animals, her park, her conversation,
or of the ~stupendous canvas she has in
hand. l will merely record the unfor-
gettable impression of the greatest liv-
ing Frenchwoman and the greatest liv-
ing woman artist. Rosa Bonheur's
physiognomy in its intense intellec-
tuality and animation recalls the por-
traits of Michelet and Theirs. Her
hair, lin silvery slips is worn short,
and adds to the impression of simili-
tude. l do not think l ever saw SO

face, moreover-as were those Of the
two great writer's just named. Her
hands, teo, are remarkable, the deli
cate taper fingers and filbert nails be-
ing eminently characteristic of her
countrywomen. On the breast of her
black alpaca blouse, or, rather, short
coat, she wore the rosette of the Legion
Of Honor-most priced. naturally, of
her many decorations. Much more /
could say that would interest your
readers. l will only add, as illustra-
tive of character. that my introduo-
ton was from a friend lost sight of for
upward Of forty years."

Funeral Customs in Switzerland.

Swiss funeral customs are nos Pc
culiar. At the death of a person the
family inserts a black-edged announce
ment in the papers asking for SYM
pathy and STANG that 1.-The mourning
urn" will be exhibited within certain
hours On a special day. In front of
the house where the person died there
is placed a little black table, covered
with a little black cloth, on which
stands a black jar. Into this the
friends and acquaintance of the fam
lily drop little black-margined visiting
cards, sometimes with a few words of
sympathy on them. The urn is put on
the table on the day of the funeral.
Only men ever go to the churchyard,
and they generally follow the hearse
on foot.

HOW A DUKE LIVED.

IN a little yellowed English maya
kine,dated April 1904. a writer in What
to Eat came across the following
amusing scrap, which is copied YER
batim:
II the Duke OF O. does not extend
his life to a still longer period it will
not be for want Of culinary comforts
and those other %succulent arts by
which longevity is best promoted. His
grace's ~sustenance Is thus daily ad-
ministered: At Z in the morning he
regales in a warm milk bath, perfumed
with almond powder, where he takes
his coffee and a buttered muffin. and
afterward retires to bed; he rises
about 9 and breakfasts on cafe au
lait. with new-laid eggs, Just par
boiled;' at IL he is presented with two
warm jellies and rusques; at 1 he
takes a veal outlet a la Maintenon; at
8 jellies and eggs repeated.
At 8 the duke has a cup Of chocolate
and rusques; at 1880 he takes a hearty
dinner from h~igh-seasonei dishes. and
makes suitable libations Of claret and
Madeira; at 10 tea, coffee and munins;
at IL sups off a roast poulet. with a
plentiful dilution Of lime punch; at
in the morning he retires to bed in
high spirits and sleeps till 8. when
his mar cook, to the moment, waits
upon him in person with a hot and
savory veal outlet, which, with a pota-
ton of wine and water, prepares him
for his further repose, that continues
generally uninterrupted till the morn
ing summons to his lactean bath.
