Her Charge.

A recent book, entitled "Recollec-
tions OF a Missionary in the Great
West" gives a pathetic story of lit
tie schoolmistress who was faithful
beyond the end.
She had been boarding round" and,
with n dozen or more people, was
caught by tremendous cyclone. They
were in house which stood on the
edge of a high bluff. The house was
wrecked and every inmate but one
was killed This survivor said that
the family was at supper when the
storm struck the house, and the school
mistress happened to sit next the baby,
growing in its high chair.
When they found the poor girl that
night she was still alive, although she
died almost instantly. The wind had
torn off her clothes, even her two
rings, and left her but one shoe. Her
hair was whipped to rags. She had
been driven through several barbed
wire fences, and every bone in her
body was broken.
In her arms, however, and clasped
tightly to her breast. was the dead
body Of the little child. Womanlike,
she had seized the baby when she felt
the shock of the storm, and not even
the cyclone itself had been able to tear
It from her arms.-Youths Companion.

Plenslng Husbands and yYives.

The greatest secret Of domestic hap
piness lies in husband and wife pleas
ing each other. 1t is quite as easy to
say pleasant, graceful things as dis
agreeable ones. 1t is far sweeter to
a wife to have tender words from her
husband than it was to have them
from him before marriage-husband in
the role Of lover has a double value in
a wife's estimation.
1t pleases a woman to know her hus-

needs her-that his happiness depends
upon her companionship. To feel that
her efforts TO please are successful, and
are appreciated accordingly, win

Weeds as Fuel.

1t has been found that the obnox-
ious Russian thistle but a few years
ago regarded as a menace to Western
agriculture, makes especially fine fuel
and in the West, where, because he is
remote from the coal fields, the farmer
must pay S15 ton for his coal, be-
sides carting it ten or fifteen miles
the thistle presents a way out Of diff
Guilty
Farmers now make hundreds Of dol
lars each autumn baling and selling
the thistle for fuel At that time Of
the year the weed is to be found in
enormous quantities through the open
country. The special baling machines
used can place in compact packages,
similar to baled hay, hundreds Of
pounds of thistles in a day.
The common "tumbleweed" is also
baled for fuel. 1t resembles the Rus
sian thistle, except in the matter of
thorns, and is even more prolific. In
the autumn it assumes a ball-llke
shape, and the first winter wind breaks
It's frail stem and sends it bounding
over the prairies like great ball. The
first ravine affords it a lodgment and
successive balls soon make a pile as
high as a freight car
Farmers drive their wagons into
these rayines, load them by pressing
the weed down with their feet, and
then burn this peculiar fuel in the

Big Prices For Pet Cats.

Siamese cats, with their curious
markings and loud dlscordant voices,
are now favorites with fashionable
women in England.
In many respects they are unique
among cats. They follow their own
ers as a dog would they are exceed
ingly affectionate, and insist upon
being nursed, and they meow loudly
and constantly, as If trying to talk,
and to a deaf person at that.
They have more vvacity than usu-
ally falls to the lot of cats, and less
dignity. In color they vary from pale
fawn through shades of brown to
chocolate. There are two varieties,
the temple cats and the palace cats;
about the only difference between the
two varieties being that the palace
breed is darker in color.
The only sacred temple cats that
ever left the land of their birth were
given to DR.. Nightingale as n mark Of
special favor by the King of Siam.
They were named by their new owner
Romeo and Juliet, and are now the
property Of Lady Marcus Beresford.
They are very expensive, moderate
specimens selling FOR $50 and finely
marked ones bringing from SIS to
$500.
Now that many ladies Of rank in
England have catterles, the price OF
high-bred cats is constantly increas-
ing. Champion Lord Southampton, a
white Persian owned by Mrs Green
wood, was sold for $3.50 and $3.50 was
refused for Zaida, former cat show
champion.
And in America, Of course, as high
prices as anywhere are obtained.

Umbrella versus Cue.

A match which excited consider
able amount of interest at the time,
was played forty years ago between
John Roberts, father of the preser bill
nard champion, and an amateur who
was a very fair player. Roberts played
with an old umbrella instead Of a cue
his opponent being equipped In the
normal fashion. To appreciate fully
the difficulty of Roberts's task let any
one try the experiment for himself. He
will be lucky If he can make the ball
travel even approximately in the di
rectlon which he intends. Old Roberts,
who. by the way, lost the Umbrella
VS.. Cue match, had a great fancy for
similar experiments. 1t Is on record
that when he met very inferior play.
or he would abjure the cue altogether
and play With his e.-CasselPs

1vould Have Been Elizabeth II.

One Of the panegyrsts of the queen
said that not even the reign Of Eliza
beth exceeded in glory that of Victoria.
The allusion has a significance which
perhaps was not present in the mind OF
the writer. For Elizabeth was the
name which the Duke of Kent chose
for his daughter, and chose 1t with a
reason. He thought it would ingrati-
ate a girl sovereign with her people,
and that Elizabeth II. would bear a
strong recommendation as link with
Elizabeth l. The queens mother, how
ever, disliked the name, and choce
Alexandria in its place-the Victoria,
which is now inscribed so large on
the page of history, and on the map OF
the world, being thrown in at the font
as a sort Of NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.

EYES OF THE GREAT.
Byron's "windows Of the Soul" We're Of
Unequal Size.

According to Trelawny no man had
brighter eyes than Byron; they were
gray and fringed with long darl;
lashes. Lady Blesslngton, writing Of
him a few months before his departure
to Greece, adds that one eye was visi-
bly, larger than the other.
Charles Lamb is described as having
glittering eyes, strangely dlssimllar in
color, one being hazel, the other having
specks Of gray in the iris as you see
red spots in the bloodstOne.
Eyes, as we know, are apt to vary
considerably in shades Of color in the
same individual from time to time
a fact that explains why Words
worths familiar description Of Coler-
idge as a noticeable man with large
gray eyes does not quite agree with
Carlyle's impression that his eyes were
Of light hazel, nor this again with the
writer who found them Eight gray,
prominent, and of liquid brilliancy, as
though the orb itself retreated TO the
innermost recesses Of the brain"
Chatterton's brilliant gray eyes were
his most remarkable feature. Under
strong excitement one appeared bright
er and, as in the case Of Byron, larger
than the other. Catcott says "it was
like the eye of hawk, and that one
could see his soul through it," Bar
rett "never saw such eyes, fire rolling
at the bottom of them" and he con-
fesses that he often purposely differed
In opinion from ChattertOn to see how
wonderfully his eye would strike fire,
kindle and blaze up.
Audubon, as became naturalist,
had "hawk-lil1e eyes that flashed like
a searchlight and were ever on the
alert for each movement of animated
nature" The Duke of Wellington also
mad, it is said, blue hawks eyes glean-
ing with military genius.
The most striking feature Of Burns
was his large dark eye. 1t was, we
are told by one writer "full of mind
and literally glowed when he spoke
with emotion or interest" Sir Walter
Scott, who knew the poet when he
lived in Edinburgh, says, II never saw
such another eye in human head, and
/ have seen the most distinguished
men Of my time."-Temple Bar

Yerdi,s Advlce to Yonng Composers

Verdis Advice to Young COmposers.
Verdi has left in his will a legacy
of wise, and here and there sarcastic,
musical advice to young composers;

one foot on the past and the other on
the future, because the music of the
future causes me no alarm. l would
have said to young disciples' Practice
the art Of fugue constantly, stubborn
ly until your hand is sufficiently STRONG
and free to bend the notes to your will.
Address yourself to composition with
confidence; see to it that your part
writing is good, that your modulations
are free from affectation. Study Pal
estrina and some Of his c0ntempofar-
les, then pass on to Marcello, and pay
special attention to recitative. Go and
hear a few performances of modern
works, but do not be dazEled by the
numberless harmonic and instrumental
effects, nor by the chord of the dimin-
ished seventh, a danger, also the
refuge of those who cannot without
its aid compose four consecutive bars
Of music. 10 these studies add strong
literary culture. Put your hand on

Had the angry mob caught him he would nave been roughly handled.
 Ryan knocked Williams down with a hard right swing ill the first round. Williams was on his feet quickly and the rest of the round was fought with honors easy.
 When the gong sounded at the con clusion of the second round, Ryan had Williams in a corner and landed hard left handler, followed with terrific right on the jaw, but failed to finish Williams. Referee Lamb gave the de cision to Williams on foul.

JoE BERNSTEIN TALKING.

Joseph Bernstein, once known as the 'sIron Man" of the Bowery. because of his ability to take punishment, is in San Francisco, and judging from the appended communication to q coast newspaper. does not keep in the back ground: ''In answer to Kid McFad- den's challenge to box me at 122 pounds at the ringside, he knows very well that I can't do less than 124 pounds at D. m. That is the reason he challenged me at that weight. The reason that I can't make less than PA pounds is that I gained six pounds on the coast. I would have to.cut one of my legs off trying to make 122 pounds. McFadden ought to be glad to fight me. and if he defeats me he will be in line to fight McGoyern, as I stayed with the champion twenty-five rounds. The people on the coast are tired of seeing McFadden meet fourthraters. Let him fight me, and then he will have to show his true form. I will split the money with him any way to suit him. I had only one fight in San Francisco, and that was with Tim Cal lahan. I had only two days notice and did not show my true form. If I don't get fight in the near future I vii retire from the ring for good and attend to my boxing .school.'

Gould kept the squad handling punts half an hour and then lined them up for the first team practice of the sea- son. They ran through new code of signals in the following order: Left end. Abbott, left tackle, Francis; left guard, Hamlin; center, Olcott; right guard. Drummond; right tackle, Hogan; right end, Rafferty; quarterback, De Saulles; left halfback, Easton; right halfback, Chadwick; fullback, Wander pool. Captain Gould says that he will continue to act as head coach this week, as none of the graduates will ar rive before next Monday.
 Coach Woodruff iofs the University of Pennsylvania is evidently as firmly welded to his guards back idea as ever. He has had this years candi- dates practising the formations, with the haIfbacks in the line, and also has had the tackles back and put through the formations. Sam Goodman, one of the Pennsylvania coaches does not take as gloomy view of Pennsyl- vania's outlook for this fall as some. ''The prospects are not as discourag- ing as generally believed" he says. ''The candidates are showing up as well as can be expected, and I see no reason why Pennsylvania should not be represented by strong team.''

He was shown the challenge in question and then made the following statement: tI want to issue a challenge to any man ill New England at 13S pounds. I will bar no wrestler, no matter what his reptlta- tion may be, provided he can get down to that weight, 13S pounds This chal- lenge is open to Kelly, Keating, Car Toll or any other wrestler First come first served. I will back this unknown against any of these men for S1O0 or S200 side, and will let the winner take the entire gate receipts and purse. 1 will name my man twosWeeks before the match is pulled off, but the articles must be signed. of course, before that time.

WITH THE WREsTLERs.
Harvey Parker Leaves for Home To
 day.

Qay.
 Harvey Parker is scheduled to leave England for New York. It is expected he will be in Brockton by one week from Saturday. While his trip has not been marked by great many matches he has picked up a few loose bones and has profted good deal in other ways by his trip. He is in excellent health and promises to make it inter- esting for all middleweights and a few of the big fellows besides just as soon as the cold weather sets in.
 Parker's first match on his return may be with George Bothner of New York. Bothner has repeatedly claimed that he can defeat stlle Brockton man if the latter will get down to his weight. This ParkeE practically agreed to do before shee started across the pond. Arrangelnentsgafe now under way in New York to bring the men to- gether. Bothner has good backing fer match under these conditions. 1t is not certain that Parker will undertake to get down in weight Immediately upon his return. Such a course might have disastrous results, and Harvey is not to take any chances with his con dition this fall. However, Bothner's men seem so anxious for him to meet

 There will have to be good money in sight to induce Parker to take on Bothner.. That there will be, Both ner'S friends now assure the public
 Parker will probably start out to get q few turns at some of the pugilists who have recently taken to the mat. These athletes have been keeping pret- ty quiet of late, no doubt due to the warm weather. They are expected to launch all sorts of yarns of their abil- ity as soon as the summer attractions are over. Parker has not changed his mind about the ability of any of the fighters as wrestlers. He has always maintained that he could throw any two of them in one hour.
 Other game for Parker will proba- bly, be Lundin, who has created such
