Statue of Empress Elizabeth.

The statue of the late Empress Eliza
beth recently unveiled at Godollo Cas-
tie, a seat of Emperor Francis Joseph,
near Budapest, is bronze figure Of
more than life size on a high pedestal
in Gothic style. She is represented in
a walking costume, such as she most
frequently wore at Godollo; in one
hand a sunshade, and In the other a
few wild flowers, and she appears to
be resting after one of her long ex-
cursions. Her head is crowned only
with rich pleats of hair. The figure Is
the work Of the Hungarian sculptor
Roma, and stands in part of the park
most frequented by the Empress.

Individuality in Dress.

An English fashion writer says that
English women have no individuality.
and that half the women dress exact
ly alike, with rose at the tip Of the
rim Of the hat, IL roses worn In that
way are the fashion; velvet bow on
the hair at the back Of the hat, If vel
vet bows are being worn in that way,
and never by any chance q red rose
if pink are being worn or black silk
bow to rest on the hair If the great
mass of people are wearing velvet. A
similar complaint might be made to
some extent In this country. Women
find it hard to draw conclusions in
fashions, to follow the fashion, and
yet not wear the identical article worn
by every other woman.-New York
Times.

summer House For children.

A summer house Is more than a de-
light If there is room for it. 1t need
not be a costly affair. Little folk get
even more good out of a rough lath
construction, thickly Overrun with
vines and floored with nothing more
costly than clean earth. The baby can
sprawl there upon his blanket through
the hottest summer days, or the tod
dlers play games. Build it low and
broad, with doors upon four sides, and
in either square. round or octagon
shape. Grape arbors yield as much
profit as pleasure. If one is at the
pains so to prune the vines as not to
waste all their strength in maintain
ing unfruitful wood. Fruit buds, 1t
should not be forgotten, come out of
new wood-that is to say, wood OF
last years growth. The nearer the
roots these new growths come out.
the more richly fruitful they will
prove. A vigorous shoot will often
grow fifteen to twenty feet long. Thuc
cutting away the old vine need not
mean spelling the precious shade

oh maiden with deep eyes,
Why do you hurry so!
A world of sorrow lies
Out where you long to 60;
You put your books away
And coil your braided tresses,
And, turning from wild play,

Why do you hurry so?
Oh stay little while,
Why do you hurry SO?

And heaven is here below;
But oh you long to flee
From youth and maiden glory,
To grieve too late and be

sun-Shadoxs and Moon-shadows.


Most persons, perhaps, If asked to
answer off-hand, would say that a
sun-shadow Is darker than moon
shadow, and would give as a reason
the superior brightness Of sunlight.
AS a matter of fact. however, a moon
shadow is the darker. and it Is the su-
perior brightness Of the sun that
makes it so.
The light of the sun is so strong that
its rays are freely dispersed in every
direction, and even If you cut it off by
placing an opaque object SO as to in
tercept its rays, some of the dispersed
rays will reflect light into the shadow
cast by the object. The light of the
moon, on the contrary, is not strong
enough to disperse and reflect its rays
into the shadows that 1t makes.
Look into this for yourselves by
comparing daylight shadows with full
moon shadows.-Philadelphia Record.

Habit In Insects.


"A naturalist saw one Of the wasp
like flies called the sphex, dragging a
grasshopper to Its nest, and knowing
it's habit of entering before it carried
in its prey he determined to make an
experiment with it. The nest of sphex
is under ground, and the entrance Is a
little hole. When it had gone into the
hole, leaving the grasshopper just out
side, the observer moved the latter FIVE
or six inches away. Finding its prey
gone when it came out the sphex ran
around hunting for 1t, and having
found 1t, dragged it back to the hole.
going in itself on its preliminary visit.
as before. This was repeated three
times, but the fifth times it dragged
the grasshopper into the hole without
stopping. The same thing was tried
on several successive days, with the
same result, which shows that the
conservative little insect had at least
to throw aside its instinct and depend
on its reason.

One Cent For E;.cRt.

A fustCred young woman, cut CT

rushed UP the steps OF the mint and
asked to be directed to the bureau Of
information. There isn't any" re-

producing a copy Of q frivolous week
ly paper. Il want to know if this is

which read: among the curiosities
Of collecting is the fact that 1901 cents
now bring about $40 in the coin
market" The fat messenger adjusted
his glasses and scrutinized the para
graph. While he was thus engaged
the young oma explained that she
had four 1901 cents, and wanted to
know what made them so valuable,
and where she could realize on them.
Then the fat messenger grew purple
in the face from suppressed laughter,
which finally exploded, and seemed
in momentary danger of having an
apoplectic fit He called the attention
Of the other messengers to the para
graph, and then followed combined
roars Of merriment. In the meantime
the young woman with the four 1901
cents wondered if she had strayed by
mistake into a lunatic asylum. Finally
the fat messenger regained his breath
sufficiently to gasp: Its a joke.

A n~rusolino Craze.

The seeming impossibility Of catch
ing the brigand Musolino, for whose
capture a large price has been offered
by the Government, has led to a con-
siderable "Musolino literature" Pro-
fessor Bertolini. of Bari, says that
in that town alone three elves of the
brigand have appeared, and that in all
he is described as a perfect gentle
man." Boys in the street play at
'sMusolino," armed with knives, mari
onette theatres perform plays, of
which the brigand is the hero, to ap-
plauding audiences and generally in
South Italy he is considered the vic
tim of society. "
Not long ago the Syndic Of Africo,
Musolino's native place, went to Rome
to petition the Government IN favor of
his countryman. Musoiino promised
to give himself up to the police if
the Government would guarantee an
inquiry into his first trial, when, as
he says, he was condemned wrong
fully. being then an innocent man.
This was refused, and the bandit is
still outlaWed and-still u%ncaught.-I

Prehistoric Bones Found.

The Carnegie Museum at Pittsburg
will shortly receive a consignment
from one of it's collectors, a MI. Peter
son, which will probably cause i'm
portant discussion in the scientific
world. Mr.. Petersen has discovered
in and below the bed of a creek rum
ming ear Harrison, Neb., six skele-
tons, perfectly preserved by petref-
cation. These are the bones Of horses,
beyond possibility Of scientific refuta-
ton, but from their size they prove
conclusively that the prehistoric horse
was much smaller than the animal
as it appears nowadays.
Although the skeletons have not
been set up by Mr.. Petersen, they
are complete. From the measure
ments taken it is apparent that the
horses Of the time when these were
alive were about the size Of a two
months-old colt of the present day.
Mr.. Peterson found the skeletons
while prospecting for relics for the
museums. A small bone. seemingly
an ordinary stone, gave him the first
clue. Following up his find, he ar
rived at a point indicating to his sci
entifc d~iscernment that more bones
were to be foundry digging. Three
Of the skeletons were found one above
the other, though a short distance
apart literally. The other three were
