the beasts were thrown into panic.
They fought and dashed at the bars
with such violence that 1t was feared

Wind that sings or the dreamy South
When the pale FIRST blossoms WOO the

Wind that fzings from golden mouth
Tender spray OF the summer sea,
Wind that keeps for us light and bloom

Wind that sleeps In the lilac's plume.
Or the winds OF heaven we love the

lrxing,s Crushing sorrow.


"When q young man, rising to fame
as an author, Washington Irving fell In
love with Mathilda Hoffman," writes
William Perrine, in the Ladies' Home
Journal. ITO his eye she was such an
image of delicacy and purity that his
love for her grew into an idolatry. In
the midst of his dreams of future hap
piness there came an overwhelming
blow from which he never fully re-
covered. Mathilda was taken sick with
a cold; It rapidly turned into consump-
ton, and it was his agony to behold her
fade away In a single winter, but In bis
sight beautiful and more beautiful to
the last. During the three days and
nights Of her final sufferings he did not
leave her house and scarcely slept he
was at her bedside when she died; his
was the last face that she looked upon,
and when the grave closed upon her
the world became blank to him In his
distraction. In the nights of his first
anguish after Mathilda's death he
would carry to his bed her Bible and
prayer-book. and place them tenderly
under his pillow. Ever afterward he
kept them with him in all Of his many
wanderings and travels. When he died
at Sunnyside he had reached his three
score -and-ten, and his celibacy was still
unbroken. There was then found
little repository of which he had al
ways kept the key. 1t was opened.
and there lay faded memorandum
which told the story of his sorrow, a
braid of fair hair. and a
slip of paper on which he had written

small '1'' in writing ''ich-" The Span

MICHAEL G. MULHALL,
FAMOUS IRISH STATISTfCIAN.

Michael @. Mulhali, whose death was

his career was fun Of adventure. he
was educated in Rome at the Irish Col

language. having been the Standard,
produced by Mulhall at Buenos Ayres

the Invaluable Dictionary Of Stats

have painted and decorated the walls
and carved and inlaid the wood Of the
chapels. The abbot's crozier, formed
Of thousands of pieces, was made by
one of the monks.
Among the monks the various trades
and calllngs are represented. and you
see men In brown frocks turning or
planning wood, setting type, sewing,
mixing drugs, mending kettles and
shoeing horses as well as filling the
fields, gathering vegetables, tending
swine, milking cows and driving teams.
There are two classes of Trapplsts-
the choir religious and the lay brothers.
Their mode of life Is the same in Its
essentials. but the first named are
bound to perform duty In the choir and
have a longer litany but shorter hours
of labor. The choir monks are general
~ men Of education. with knowledge
Of Latin, In which most Of their ser
vices are read. Some of them are
priests who have resigned their pulpits,
some are lawyers, some are teachers.
but under the rule of silence it may be
that no man knows his neighbor,
though he stand elbow to elbow with
him in the choir stalls for twenty
years. 1t is said that some of the
monks Of Gethsemane have not heard
Of the Spanish war. and that, as an
affair of an outside and far-off world,
1t would not interest them II they did.
There are about eighty monks In the
Abbey Of Gethsemane. and 1t Is said
that there is a slow increase.

Is a popular belief that to Tom. Dick

the publication of the Queens diaries,

The rigorous enforcement of these es-
sentials OF good breeding has proved
the ruin of many who have gained a
brief entree In the Princes set. Some
few years ago wealthy writer and
well-known journalist of London was
introduced to the Prince, and by his
knowledge Of the world and acquaint-

ested his royal highness. One night the
journalist so far forgot himself as to
tell a vulgar story. His invitations
ceased from that day.

FRIGHTENED HIS WIFE.

Forty Cents Almost the Cause Of
Catastrophe.
Before Mrs. Bromley was married
she scoffed at the misguided girls and
women who kept personal accounts.
Her argument was that IL you know
how much money you had and 1t was
all gone what was the use of piling on
the anguish by having your folly and
extravaganza in black and white to
stare you In the face, especially as you
had no more money at the end of the
month than you had without an ac-
count book?
But since she has been running a
house she has achieved not one but
nearly a dozen account books. There
is one devoted to the grocery man, an
other to the butcher, personal accounts
take a third, and so on till she spends
nearly all her glad young life balanc-
Ing sums. 1t is matter of pride with
her that they shall come out even. and
SO there was woe last month when 40
cents refused to be accounted for. She
and Mr.. BROMLEY had grave and
lengthy discussion over the missing 40.
Each accused the other of frivoling the
sum away and neglecting to enter 1t on
the proper book, "SundrIes." Mr..
crowley insisted strenuously he was
