THE PEOPLE OF CORFU.
Their Manners and Customs Are
Quaint and the Dress They Wenr
Is Extraordinary.

Corfu is one of the most charming OF
the Ionian isles. Notwithstanding it's
surroundings the inhabitants are
neither good sailors nor fishermen, but
riven instead to athletic sports and
target shooting.
Superstitions and legends abound,
and long rock is always shown to
strangers with the explanation that it
is the ship of Ulysses, turned to stone
by Neptune as it was returning from
Ithaca.
With a climate equal to that of Sic
ily and much like that of Malta. the
town of Corfu is popular as winter
resort.
Careless as the natives are about
gathering the olives, these still yield
goodly quantity of oil, which, besides
salt, is their only export. A traveller
marvels to find the most primitive ap-
pliances still in use. The ovens are
mere domes of brick or clay, and on
their doors, which are only rough
stones, red cross is painted. This
same sign is found on many of the
doors of the houses. Oil lamps of brass
and silver, or of bronze with open res
ervoir, and in the most fantastic and
graceful shapes, are still in common
use. Bread is baked and clothes are
washed in the fashion of a hundred
years ago, yet the former is palatable
and the latter are redolent with lemon
peel and laurel leaves.
The patron saint of Corfu is Saint
Spiridion. His body is preserved in
richly ornamented case in church
called by his name, and several times
each year is carried through the town.
Converts abound, and if girl does not
marry she usually enters one.
More attention is given to dress in
Corfu than in the other Ionian isles.
The men wear short, collarless jackets,
with wide sleeves, richly ornamented
with gold and silver braid. A braided
waistcoat is worn beneath this jacket,
and the trousers, full and wide, like
those of the Turks, are of native linen
and fastened by cord knotted at the
side. Sandals are the general foot
gear, the simplest kind being in one
piece, with seam from toe to instep

COSTUME OF A CORFU PEASANT.

They are of bullock's hide, and thongs
attached at the side are tied around
the ankle.
Women wear short, open jacket of
cloth, profusely braided with gilt or
silver, buttoned corselet and an
apron of India null. Their skirts are
wide, just escaping the ground. The
harris twisted into a garland or crown;
1t is interlaced with ribbon and COW
cred with shawl of embroidered null.
The women wear numerous jewels, and
are coquettish and fond of amusement.
A pretty sight is a Corfu fete beneath
the pale green olive trees. Men and
women in picturesque costumes with
graceful movement wind in and out in
the mazes of their national dances, to
the music of violins, tambourines and
guitars.
The swallowis an ever welcome guest
in the simply appointed household, fly
ing in and out at will, and perching in
all security about the walls. It's pres
ence is considered a good omen. The
many cisterns and fountains are gath
ering places for the young people, who
laugh and chatter as they fill their
''pigs."
There is much superstition about
marriage, and any person is severely
censured who tries to prevent happy
union, but friends are expected to as
sist in making matches. bridegroom
would not think of returning with his
bride from the church the same route
he came, and the bride would be sure
that her trousseau was in odd num-
bers. Her mother always waits at the
door of their new home to give each a
piece of pomegranate and spoonful
of honey, that their lives may be as
united as one and as ct as the other

Secret of youthful Faces.

Every woman has furtive desire to
keep her youthful looks as long as pos
sible, and the 'secret of eternal youth"
is very simple thing to accomplish.
Interest in life, excitement, something
to do which keeps the mind active and
a certain carelessness of temperament
are the leading essentials beside which
careful eating and drinking and regu'
lar habits are of very little Importance
Activity accompanied by late hours
and irregular habits of living is bet
ter than listless, stagnant life, ii
there is any virtue in this theory OF
youth.

WITNESS COSTELLO CAUGHT.
Arrested at HarriGburg, but Had Chance
to Deny Engler's story, at
Bribery Trial.

HARRISBURG, March 26.--The trial of
former State Senator John J. Coyle, for
alleged corrupt solicitation of Repre-
sentative John Engler, of Lycoming
county, member of the house Of repre-
sentatives, was the scene of a sensational
occurrence.
George Kunl;el, of counsel for the de-
fense, had just finished plea in which
he promised the demolition of the testi
mony of Mr.. Engler, charging Coyle
with having attempted TO buy his vote
for the McCarrell jury bill with 5000
spot cash, when the door near the jury
box was violently thrown back, and Cos
tello, the long missing fugitive from jus.
tice, was almost tumbled into the court
house as result of a movement of de-
tective to wrest him from the custody of
Deputy Sheriff Miller.
The latter had arrested Costello in tn
rear corridor on bench warrant issued
by Judge Metzger, of Lycoming county,
where he has been wanted for months to
answer the charge of attempted bribery
of Mr.. Langley by an offer of 500 for
his vote for the reconsideration Of the
vote by which the McCarrell bill was

Charles II. Bergner, of counsel for the
prosecution, appealed to Judge Simonton
for proper protection Of the deputy
sheriff in the performance of his official
duties. Meanwhile the detective hur-
riedly passed through the court house to
escape anticipated trouble. The de-
tective was "Tim" O'Leary, of Philadel-
,,htn anl on t1,a nI, % Nv Rnr.rr,a,,
suit was instituted by the officer before
Alderman Mauer against O'Leary ,charg'

Soon after Costello was put ON the
witness stand, and practically repeat.
ing his testimony before the Legislative
investigating committee at the recent
session of the house, fatty contradicted
the sworn statements of Engler as tC
the alleged offering of bribe by Coyle
to the legislator. to which the latter had
testified previously. After he had CON
cluded his testimony counsel for the de-
fense called him to their side, as an aid
in the effort to clear the accused of cor
rupt solicitation. Mr.. Bergner earn
estly protested against this arrange
ment, but the court decided to inter
fere.
Later ON n petition was presented tt
the court by Attorney Detweller, signed
by Costello, asserting that he had been
! illegally arrested, on baseless charge
and asking for writ of habeas corpus
for his release from Imprisonment. The
statement was made by Mr.. Detwelle'
that Costello's presence in court was i'm

quest and made the writ returnable to
