SHE POISED LIKE a. BUTTERFLY ON

parted All her tenderness and toll
erance were remembered, all her sim
pie. aflectioEate, almost humble ways.
And with her death rumors of her for
mcr greatness began to reach the little
town. Then it was realized what a ce-
lebrity had been entertained unknow-
ingly all those quiet years.
So in gratitude for the JOY she had
given them and for the good will she
had shown all her life among them
they gave her a public funeral. The
sons and daughters of Puritans went.
and the French people who had moved
down from the north, and the old peo-
pie, forgetting ancient prejudices.
They buried her on a high hill overlook
ing the sea. 1t was bleak there, and
there was only plain white cross. to
mark her resting place. Nothing could
have been more out of keeping with the
Fifille Beautencourt of the old days,
she who had been compacted of emo
ton and laughter, of color and music
and joy. But the people who laid her
there loved her well, and the story
they told of her life among them was
the prettiest Of all the stories that were
told of the old port-Chicago Tribune.

FISH THAT FISHES.
Waiting MotionIess for the APP
proach OF His Prey.

Most remarkable of strange fishes Is
the angler fish, whose very name seems
a paradox. The fishing fish is never
theless reality, and stern one 20
all that approach those awful jaws CT
his. With body the color of mud he
generally lies in the shadow of some
rock on the bottom of the sea, waiting
motionless for the approach of his
prey. He is provided with an odd
kind of fin just over the mouth, and
this is held out in front of him to give
warning of the coming OF something
to be swallowed. One taken alive was
experimental on and it was found
that If this projecting fin was touched
with a stick, even though the stick did
not come near the mouth, the jaws
closed convulsively. This shows that
the fin by some provision of nature
closes the jaws as soon as it is
touched. The mouth is tremendous,
growing to the width of n foot when
the whole fish is only three feet long.
One of these anglers was caught not
long since and though it was only 25
inches long, fish Is inches long was
found sticking in it's throat The
angler is provided with peculiar teeth

uaily life of the princes, big and little, is on
the following lines They rise at six pune,
tually, summer and winter. At 1880 they
have first breakfast, with the empress, con
sisting of tea and bread and butter. At eight
lessons begin, the younger princes having
lessons together and their elder brothers
alone. This instruction is pretty severe,
all the princes of the imperial house being,
among other things, thoroughly grounded
in foreign languages, particularly French.
AT 9;3O comes a second breakfast then les
sons again, with drill and military exer.
cises, until l:l5-lunch time. After dinner
they amuse themselves for time, then sci
ence and music lessons fill up the time until
six, when supper is served. After this comes
a final hour of recreation before bed, the
younger children retiring at 1880, their
elder brothers at nine. The crown prince
and his next brother play the violin and
piano. A sergeant major drills them, and

some day an admiral in the German navy,
is instructed in everything pertaining to
naval matters during the hours devoted to
military studies. Little Princess Louise,
who with the two younger boys, Prince
oscar and joachim, recently accompanied
her father and mother to England, is
brought up in similar practical manner,
though with less regard to her playing any
part in public, for the first essential in a
German woman, be she peasant or princess,
is that she should be a pattern haus frau.

OF the seven children of the German eu-

premiere danseuse told them her story
from beginning to end and made them
syr pathize with it, too.
There was, indeed, a covert envy in
the attitude of some of these women
toward her. The easy manners, the
charming address, the inimitable grace
of mOvement-they had never seen the
like, and they coveted the lady these
possessions. 1t would not be true to
say that they felt perfect confidence
in her. They felt deep interest in
her; she fascinated everyone she met;
that had been her custom from time
immemorial. 1t had, in fact, been her
profession. But the good ladies waited
with some apprehension for the time
when the dancer would give them dis
agreeable surprise. She was sure, they
felt, to outrage the conventions some
time. They were not prepared to say
that they would blame her; it was a
thing to be expected.
But the months went by quietly. FL
file Beautencourt went her way with
out untoward demonstration of any
sort. Sunday morning, garmented in
black, she knelt at early mass at the
church upon the hill-the church with
the holy cross upon its steeple. She
invited the neighbors to dine with her
on that day and walked abroad in the
afternoon with little children, or read
by her pine fire, or beneath the shade
of her veranda. Week days she arose
early, directed her small domestic af-
fairs and then busted herself with the
unpretentious charities she had started.
One was Il small day nursery for the
children of the women who worked in
the fish packing houses. Another was
home for the widows of sailors. An
other was circulating public library
an enterprise of which the community
thought so well that it presently gave
her its assistance. She had calls to
make, too. She soon accumulated n
number of friends and she interested
herself closely in their doings. She
had genius for remembering birth
days, and lost no opportunity of max
ing fiesta. Particularly when the
boys and girls were home from school
at the holidays did she make merry.
The town had never had so many gay
eties-had never enjoyed itselfso much.
In fact, much talent was discovered
among those who had hitherto been
looked upon as commonplace. 1t APP
peared to be Fifille Beautencourt's es-
pecial talent to develop others. She dis
covered them TO themselves.
She sent one boy away to Rome to
study picture making, and it was her
pleasure to instruct a number of as
piring young girls in French and to give
them talks about Paris-historica
Paris, not the Paris the coryphee knew
in the days of her artistic novitiate.
One day che died. Then the town
realized that it had lost its most liberal
minded and picturesque parsonage. No
one else in that self-satisfied commune
" stood ready to do the generous thing
regardless of consequences. No one else
took the sentimental view of things
rejoiced openly with young lovers,
made merry at weddings, delighted in
chrstenings and had dances at the COM

With gentle love her heart was stirred,
And yet she faltered on that word

Oh! could she trust Him to the last? .

EXPANSION IN THE SOUTH.
Southern States That Arc In Favor of
the Policy of the Adminis-
trntiOn.

Those democrats who seek to COM
nit their party to n policy of opposi-
tion to expansion find little encourage
ment in the south. Senator Morgan has
declared that Alabama supports the adj
ministration, Clark Howell gave SINH
lar assurances for Georgia. eX-Gov
Stone told an interviewer how Missouri
stands. Stronger evidence than this is
found in the election of w. V. Sullivan
to the United States senate from Mis-
sissippi. The Jackson correspondent
of the St. Louis Globe Democrat says
that Mr.. Sullivan owes his election al
most entirely to his ardent advocacy of
expansion. His election was n surprise.
for it had been arranged by the leaders
to choose ex-Gov. Lowry, but the patri-
otism of the congressman seemed to the
legislators to demand some such c.
ward. Sullivan was the only man from
Mississippi to support the treaty with
Spain. When he voted with the re-
pubicans on that question he was
roundly denounced by thousands Of
Mississippians who are now among his
warmest admirers and praise him for
his attitude. This vote as much as
anything else was responsible for his
election to the senate. The reason for
Mississippi's attitude is that Tint state,
like the others of the south, has awak-
ened to an appreciation of the value Of
the markets of the cast which were
opened by Dewey's guns. So Missis-
sippi, like Georgia, Alabama and Mis-
souri,, ard Louisiana, is in favor of the
administrator policy in the east

Rules for Correspondents.

l. Write only on one side of the paper.
2. Mail your news so as to reach us
no later than Tuesday morning of each
week.
3. Send us all legitimate news. We
do not want family quarrels or neigh
boris differences. What we want is
NEWS.
4. Do not use nicknames to designate
persons. Their baptismal names is
what the readers of the POsT want.
5. Do not make allusion to events
and things that you cannot or do not
care to explain. No one cares to read
anything they cannot understand.
6. Do not say John Jones FROM Lew
istown, but say John Jones OF Lewis
town. There are great many cores
pondents who violate this rule. Do not
say, "The picnic was held on Satur-
day" Omit the word son." it is Use
less.
I. In the case of deaths, get the date
of bivth, death and age. Write up Il
nice sketch giving parentage and an
cestry as far back rs possible. Name
brothers, sisters, children, both living
and dead. Give facts and name the
good deeds of the dead rather to waste
time and space with resolutions of res
pect. The best memorial that you can
write is an interesting sketch relating
the good deeds. The family can usual
ly give you all the facts. Study the
form of obituary notices in the PosT
and follow that as nearly as possible.
8. Do not use "Mr" or 'Mr. and Mrs"
Say "John Jones and wife" The use
of "Mr" and of "Mr. and Mrs" is not
wrong, but it would exhaust the con-
tents of the an" box.
8. Observe the changes that are
made in your correspondence when it
appears in print. Study them and you
will soon see how you can improve
your work. Preserve these rules for
constant reference. Editor POsT.
