Notes.

The Vermont system of not hanging
q convicted murderer until two years
after the passing of the death sentence
upon him is founded upon the assump-
ton that any possible doubt as to his
guilt will be removed in that time.
and all danger of putting an innocent
man to death is thus eliminated. At
the same time it rather prOlOngs the
agony.
The Boston Journal says, editorially:
~Our military circles may be interest
ed in the news that a lecturer on "Tbc
Elements of Strategy at the Officers
Club, Aldershot, England, desclared
that no soldier could be regarded as fit
for his profession unless he had mas
tered the careers of Napoleon and

Quite a commotion has been aroused
in the Nebraska legislature by a pray

this wise: 20 Lord, we thank Thee
that the members of the legislature
can come and go between their homes
and their legislative halls with such
ease and such little expense to them
selves" This cut at the Solons who
travel on railroad passes has aroused
great indignation.
There is some feeling in Missouri be-
cause of the fact thai an estimate has
been made that 1000 M%lssOurians, men
and women, are attending educational
institutions outside the State, and that
in every two years these Missourians
spend 81, 200, 900 in other States, nearly
all of which might be retained by in
creasing the opportunities for higher
education in that State by making
more liberal appropriations to that
end.

WEDDING CAKE BOXES.

Great Importance is always attached
to the brides cake on the occasion of
a wedding, and it is usually accorded
a distinct place of honor in the mar
riage festivities. The bride herself
takes no small amount of interest ia
this emblem of her nuptials, and un~
doubleday keenly appreciates the task
of cutting up the cake after the wed
ding ceremony and dispatching small
portions in the fancy %pasteboard
boxes with the orthodox silver-edged
card to her friends and relatives.
In the designing and choosing of ar
tistic wedding cake boxes all snowy
effects should be discouraged and
simple elegance aimed at. The boxes
may be mounted in either fancy en-
3oossed paper, rich watered OIL plain
silks or satins. The silver or gold en-
ffwined monogram Of the bride and
bridegroom and the pretty bow of suit
ably colored ribbon always impart a
very effective appearance to even an
Ordinary cardboard box.

THE VOGUE OF HANDKERCHIEF
COLLECTING.

To the mania for collecting spoons
and teapots, stems, rosaries, and other
irrelevant things, is now to be added
a vogue Of handkerchief collecting. To
get together a new and varied store of
these bits of linen and lace is the am
bition Of many The collec-
ton is not confined to the costly speci-
mems; any unique or attractive pat
tern different from any possessed is
eagerly picked up. One woman counts
fifty handkerchiefs in her collection at
i which she has been at work only a
short time. Other collections are
much more extended, and indeed these
accumulations may be added to al
most Indefinitely, so varied and ex-
tersivc is the assortment offered. Often
the handkerchiefs are souvenirs Of
travel or other priced association.

Combermere Abbey to Let.

Combermere Abbey, Cheshire, is to
let. 1t stands on the site of a Benedic-
tine monastery founded by Hugh de
Malhauc about 1880, and the materials
of the original fabric were made use
of in the present mansion. The walls
of the library are those of the old re-
fectory, and the interior is famous for
it's fine wood carving. It has belonged
to the Cotton family since the Disso-
luton. The collection of weapons and
trophies in the armory a chiefly
formed by Field Marshal Sir Staple
ton Cotton, first Viscount Cotton, in
India. The pictures include portraits
by Romney. Another notable house in
the market is Abbey House, Abingdon.
It takes it's name from a Benedictine
abbey founded in 675, which became
one of the wealthiest in England. It
is to come under the hammer next
month. The last owner expended a
considerable sum on restoring the
ruins, and there is a private water
way to the Thames.-London Chroni-

A Large Shipment.

What is probably the largest ship
ment in the history of Southern rail-
roads is now being moved over the
Louisville and Nashville, from Mount
Pleasant, Tenn, to Pensacola, Fla, to
be forwarded to Cuba. It consists of
1000 a loads of rock phosphate, all
in n consignment, and the magni-
tude of the undertaking is shown in
the fact that the railroad company is
under contract to deliver 200 carloads
of the freight daily. This means Il
solid trains of II cars each going into
Pensacola every day laden with moth
ing but phosphate.

Hardly had the thought passed through

suddenly stopping. No one who has been in

what injured, then returned.
He gathered her baggage, and, without
permission, told her to follow. With the
