THE GALLIERA FORTUNE.
Romantic History OF inherited
Riches Now Possessed by the
Frederick.

German papers state that one OF
the chief motives of the kings recent
visit to Empress Frederick is con-
nected with some alteration h IS
making in her will, especially with
regard to the disposal of the hand
some fortune she inherited from
Duchess de Galliera, an eccentric u
colossally rich Genoese lady. The
duchess was the coheiress with her
sister, Duchess Melzi, Of the ancient
house of Brignole Sale, SO intimately
associated with the Italian career OF
Van Dyke. says the London hron-

IDENTIFYING PHOTOGRAPHS.
A HabiE Common to Tourists That
Makes Business for an ALI
Around Artist.

Each seasons exodus to Europe
means an increase in my business, in
the fall" said the a~ll-around artist,
according to the New York Sun.
Scores of tourists come back with a
trunkfuI of photographs hat are not
marked of whose originals they have
no more idea than a cat.
1T seems queer that a person could
visit the most famous spots in Eu-
rope and not be able to identify one
of the photographs, but [ find that
this is frequently the ase There
are several causes for this ignorance.
For one thing, they rush through so
hurriedly that they haven't the time
to do more than look sideways at
things they pass by, and they buy
the pictures just to remind them that
they were in that cathedral and
climbed that staircase and drank
from such a fountain.
"Then again, many people return
with photographs of places that they
didn't pretend to visit while abroad.
The pretense begins when they get
home, and they have brought the
photographs along to back them up
in their assertion.
These pictures have all been
bought by the Wholesale, and are
jumbled together without the slight
est regard for the unities, and the
first thing necessary is to turn the
chaos into some kind of order. l have
one girl in my employ who does moth
ing but sort, arrange and catalogue
pictures. Her task is not always q
light one. OF course, there are regu-
lation pictures of regulation sights
that are recognizable at a glance. but
tourists nave a habit of falling into
out-of-the-way places and picking up
out-of-the-way pictures, and we are
often led quite a chase before we can
place all of them.
Our most difficult task is to
~straighten out the work of amateur
photographers, many of whom can
not name their own pictures. A large
percentage of these photographs are
very crude, and the point of observa-
ton is so unusual that the most ex
perienced globe trotter would not
recognize the scene. BY t~ireless in
vestigation we have always been able
TO get these luckIess tourists right,
however. and have thus added to
taeir happiness and our own income"

MODELLED FR1GATE OF BONE.


UNIQUE among the countless boat
models is that of the United States
frigate Essex, now at the United States
naval home. 1t is constructed entire
Iy of bones. excepting the hulk, and
represents 20 years work of a sailor
convict in the old Walnut street debt
ors' prison.
The name of the constructor is not
known, but it has an interesting his
tory. A sailor who had proved him.
self valiant in many naval battles was
reduced to penury. Unable to pay his
debts he was thrown into prison.
Though incareerated in body, his
spirit longed for the freedom OF h
sea again. Then he conceived the idea
of constructing a model of the old
frigate on which he nae served with
so much distinction and which was
| associated with his dearest
No materials were at hand to make
the model except the bones which he
| might save from his meat and soup,
SAYS the Philadelphia Press. With
these he set to work and with the most
painstaking care fashioned in the
model every detail of the boat he knew

proportionate size and arranged in
true shipshape. Even the chain plates.
pulIevs. dead eyes and minutest parts
of the boats pa~raphernalia were
made by him out of common beef or
fish bones. The hatchways and steer
ing gear were also constructed with
great ingenuity.
The vessel has two gun decks. Each
of her broadside batteries has 80 guns,
making a total of "a. These are mod
els of the Dahlgren guns, which were
nine-inch and smooth bores.
Models of two dispatch boats were
also made by the old sailor and these
have always accompanied the frigate.
When the naval veteran died the boat
model was bought at auction by Samp-
son Perot, who lived at 50 South Sew
enth street. Perot died December 90,
1S40, and his effects were sold. Wash
ington Keith purchased the boat. In
1S43 Robert Adams heard its history
and with much persuasion and money
obtained possession of it. In 1S43 he
presented it to the naval home, where
it has since remained. It is preserved
in a glass ease in the chapel and is
guarded with jealous care by the old
sailors. The bone model of the Essex

its historic associations make it many
times more valuable than its intrinsic
value.

THE OLD RAIL FENCE.

In the merry days of boyhood when we
never knew a care
Greater than the mumps or measles or q
mothers cut of hair,
When a sore toe was a treasure and a
stonebruise on the heel
Filled the other boys with envy which
they tried not to conceal
There We're many treasured objects on
the farm we held most dear,
Orchard, fields. the creek We swan IN,
and the old spring, cold and clear;
Over there the woods OF hick'ry and Of
oak so deep and dense.
Looming up behind theo outlines OF the
old
rail
fence.
On its rails the quail would whistle in the
early summer morn.
Calling to their hiding fellows in the field
of waving corn,
And the meadow larks and robins on the
takes would sit and sing
TIL the forest shades behind them with
their melody would ring.
There the catbird and the jaybird sat and
called each other names.
And the squirrels and cnipmunkS pLayeo
the observation-disclosures games,
And the garter snake was often In I'M
pleasant evidence
In the grasses in the corners OF the
old
ran
fence.
As we grew to early manhood. when We
thought the country girls
In the diadem of beauty were the very
fairest pearls.
Oft from spelIin' school or meetin OF rne

Down the old lane we would wander witt

On a grassy seat we'd linger in the moon

And we'd paint a future picture touchef
with colOrs most intense
As we sat there in the corner OF the

There one night in happy dreaming w
were sitting hand in hand,
Tn so near the gates of heaven we coui'
almost hear the band.
When she heard a declaration wh1spere'

And there's many a thread of silver Il
