Prince henri d'orleans.

Prince Henri d'Ofleaus, who died
at Saigon, the capital Of French
Tonquin, China, on August 9th, was
a son of hs Due de Chartres, who
fought in the Civil War on the staff
OF General Mcclellan. The prince,
who passed away in his thirty-fourth
year, was not a believer in the re-
establiahment of monarchy in
France, aud enouncsd all claim to
the throne of his ancestors some
years ago, on the ground that the
republic was the form OF govern
ment which the French people had
chosen in the exercise CT their right.

Pail road which, it is said is in an

RussIA's INTERNAL WATERWAYS
Great Results From a Few Miles of
Canals

For more than one hundred years
after the commencement of Peter the
greats life work the waterways were
the only pracJcal means of cheaply
transporting the products of Russian
soil and industry from one part of the
vast domain to another. No other
country is so prodigally endowed with
navigable rivers. In European Rus
STA alone fully 10000 miles of inland
waterway were navigable to the sim.
pie barses of those days. The rivers
of Russia have their sources within
a comparatively few miles of each
other, all of the great streams rising
within the area of the broad plateau
of the north, so that il was no difficult
feat to connect the headwaters of the
numerous rivers. The construction
of less than 1000 miles of canals and
canalized rivers, of less than 900 miles
of actual canals, made II possible to
travel by barge from Archangel on
the Arctic, to Astrakan on the Cas-
plan, distance of more than 5000
miles, from st. Petersburg to the foot
of the Urals. and from the Baltic to
the Black sea by three distinct routes

Lueretia Mott Removed Temptation,

An elderly woman who for years
has lived out on the old York road
tells a characteristic anecdote of the
late Lucretia Mott. who was formerly
a neighbor and whom she knew very
well. "Lucretia had fine apple or.
chard." she said. Her apples were
the best grown anywhere around. The
orchard was separated from the road
by stone wall. and people in passing
would often climb over the wall and
-t.ala. some of the fruit. This was a
source OF great distress to Lucretia.
who was one of the best women that
ever lived. That she should place
temptation in the way OF others
troubled her greatly. Finally she de-
cided upon plan TO ease her con.
science. AT intervals along the top of
the wall she had baskets placed
filled with choice apples. On each
basket was a sign which read: Thou
shalt not steal" Then. underneath
was another sign reading. Help thy.
self"-Philadelphia Record.

FASHIONS DEvoTEES.
How They Are Robbed by the Thrifty
Dress Makers.

Enormous sums are spent each year
by Fashions devotees in that region
of Paris bounded by the Boulevard
Haussmann, the Rue de Richelieu, the
Rue de Rivoli and the Rue Royal, an
irregular square of which the central
point is the famous Rue de la Paix.
A writer in an English paper states
that Lame de Pougy, Cleo de Me-
rode, Mile. Marsy, the Countess de
many other ladies belonging to very
different worlds in the gay city meet
on common ground in their passion
for the latest creations of the great
modistes. They are the women who
pay 81 900 for a dress, 5000 for a silk
petticoat, $500 for an opera cloak,
$1OG for robe de mutt, s25 pair for
stockings, 800 for corset. Their
other furbeiows, dainty, mysterious,
awe-inspiring, are paid for in proper
ton. There are number of Paris
ennes whose rare beauty demands
$4,000, $4,000 and even $4,000 per
annum for it's adornment. The &C
tual labor involved in the making of a
$500 dress after it leaves the cutters
hands is said to seldom exceed $40.
Where does the rest of the money go?
In the first place, quite 800 must be
allocated to the chief for his origina-
tive genius and his administrative
talent. He must provide an expensive
establishment, luxuriously furnished,
in the heart of fashionable Paris. He
must surround himself with an
equally expensive staff These items
would absorb another $3.50. Interest
on capital and money outstanding
would represent another $40. Con-
sidering that bad debts in these smart
establishments are officially declared
to amount to II per cent. of the an
nual turnover, about $40 must be al
lowed for that eventuality Adding
$40 for the material the total cost
would $50, leaving Is per cent, or

very fond of children and she asked
Leonora to visit her. Well, Leonora
arrived all starched and frilled and
with her best and primmest little
manners to the fore. Her old black
nanny nurse was with her, and it
was evident that Leonora had been
instructed to be very polite, and not
sit down in the presence of the mis-
tress of the white house unless
pressed to do so, and, above all, to
answer all questions promptly. Both
the president and Mrs. Mckinley re-

could to make her feel at home, but

This reply nearly bowled the presi

took out her watch, which contains
portrait of the president She held
it out and said coaxingly:
Leonora, you cannot tell me of
whom this is picture?'
"Leonora drew near and scanned
the open watch. A bright look swept
over her face.

Well. who is it, Leonora?'
