Speaking From Experiences.

blanche, dear" said the watchful
aunt to her niece, don't you think that
Fred spends too much money upon
you?"
'Do you think SO. aunty?"
"Indeed do, Blanche. I've been no,
ticing, and l think he's really eXtrava-
CANT. You ought to check him and tell
him to save his money. You will need
a good deal when you begin housekeep-
ing, and it is far better for him to put
in the bank the money he is now spend
ing on carriage rides and luncheOns
and tickets to this thing and that than
to be squandering it. Think over the
matter Il minute or two. dear. and you
will see it as l do
'Oh, I've thought about it already,
aunty. I'd take your advice if l We're
absolutely certain that we shall be mar
ried, but I've been engaged before,
aunty, and l don't intend to advise a
young man again to economize for
some other girls benefit"

EDGAR ALLAN POE.
His Dainty Hands, Tropical Counte.
nance and Good Digestion

nance and Good Digestion.
Poe's arms and hands were slender
and tapered very gracefully and gently
down to the ends of his fingers, which
We're very tender, gentlemanly and
ladylike. In fact, his hands We're truly
remarkable for their roseate softness
and lily white, feminine delicacy. You
could have judged of his nobility by
his hands.
His face was rather oval, tapering in
Its contour rather suddenly to the chin,
which was very classical, and, espe-
cially when he smiled, really hand
some. His countenance was tropical in
its aspect, precisely the reverse of his
heart, which, like the fountains of Sol
ONION. had long been kept sealed up as
something sacred from the vulgar gaze
OF the world, his face whenever he
wlote long at any one time putting on
a sickly, sallow and rather pallid hue,
but never to such an extent as to indi-
cate indisposition. His digestion was
always good, which is prima facie evil
dence that he was never student.
His dress was always remarkably
neat for one in his circumstances. But
do not believe that it would have
done for him to have had money. He
was ruined in his youth. His college
life in Virginia was the cause of all
his after inebriatiOn. That was the
internal whirlpool into which was driv-
EN- the beautiful milk white ship of his
soul, never to be reclaimed. Is it not
one Of the most remarkable things in
the world that any man of his abilities
should have been so amenable to the
dictations of others Poe hivers Pa
pers in Century.

her festival. Groves of cOcOanut palms
and mango TOPICS now incumber the
ground once covered by troops of horse
The wealth, the busy life and the lux
ury of the old place are dead. Kites
and cobras infest the crumbling halls
which once resOunded with the ban
quet and the dance, and naught but a
few old monks and nuns keeps vigil
amid it's desolation today.
But Goa possesses one treasure Of
great interest. This is the tomb Of
Francis Xavier, the great Jesuit mis-
sionary to the east. 1t is to be found in
the Church of Bon Jesus. 1t is 4 mas
terpiece of art which is lost to all but
the casual visitors to old Goa. Some
have ventured to suggest that no other
mausoleum in India or even in Asia ex-
cept the TAI Mahal can equal it. 1t is
built of rich marble of variegated col
ors. The lowest stage is Of red and
purple jasper and Carrara alabaster
adorned with statuettes and cherubs
The middle stage is Of green and yellow
jasper decorated with beautiful bronze
plates representing incidents in the life
Of the saint. The highest Of the three
stages is surrounded by a lovely rail
ing of red jasper marked with white
spots, the adornments being figures Of
angels, while it's middle portion is
graced with columns elegantly carved,
whose intervening spaces are surmOunt-
ed by arches showing further incidents
In n Of hn tint Nh0 fVi0 >f
the four lateral columns are of black
stone and the plinths of yellow Jasper.
Surmountng this last stage lies the
, coffin overlaid with silver, gorgeous
receptacle embellished with many ex-
quisite specimens of relief work.
Lumps of silver depending around COM
plete the adornment of the shrine. 1t
+, is a worthy relic of Goa's departed glo-
~.
The bell Of the Augustinian convent
still rings forth its vesper peal above
this old city of ghosts, and it is impos-
sible to forget the effect Of the deep,
mournful notes as they strike upon the
ear. Never was heard more beautiful
or more sadly musical summons than
that which calls in vain from the tower
of the Augustinians to the forsaken and
solitary city.
1t is all summed up in the eloquent
apostrophe Of Sherer: Goa the golden
exists no more; Goa, where the aged
Da CANA closed his glorious life; Goa,
where the immortal Camoens sang and
suffered. 1t is now but a vast and
grassy tomb. and it seems as if it's thin
and gloomy population of priests and
friars were only spared to chant re-
QUEENS for its departed souls."-St

OLD GOA THE GOLDEN
ITS SITE IS NOW ONLY A VAST AND
GRASSY TOMB.

The Once Splendid Portuguese City
It's Masterpiece of Art the Tomb Of
st. Francis Xavier.
1t was said that during the prosper
GUS times Of the Portuguese in India
you could not have seen a piece of iron
in any merchants house, but all gold
and silver. They coined immense guam
titles of the precious metals and used
to make pieces of workmanship in
them for expectation. The very sol
,diers enriched themselves by COM
merce.
But then at last came the inquisition,
which celebrated it's terrible and deadly
rites with more fervor and vehemence
at Goa than in any other place. Reli-
gious persecution, pestilence and wars
with the Dutch, disturbances arising
from an unsettled government, and,
above all, the slow but sure workings
of the shortsighted policy of the Portu-
guese in intermarrying and identifying
themselves with the HindOos of the
lowest caste, made her fall as rapid as
her rise was sudden and prodigious.
In less than Il century and half aft
er Da Cana had landed on the Indian
shore the splendor of Goa had departed
forever. The inhabitants fled before
the deadly fever which soon fastened
upon the devoted precincts of the city,
and in 1853 the viceroy transferred his
headquarters from the ancient capital
to Parjina, about eight miles distant
Soon afterward the religious orders
cent converts and churches all but ut
terly deserted and the inquisition was
suppressed upon the recommendation
of the British government
The place is now grass grown will
derness. But still the firm and well
built causeways of this olden city and
its moldering splendors are reminiscent
of echoing pageants and the tramp Of
armies which once sounded there. AS
we tread the ancient wharf, long
broad road, lined with a double row of
trees and faced with stone, Il more sug-
gestive scene of desolation can hardly
be conceived. Everything around teens
with melancholy associations, the very
rustlings of the trees and murmur of
the waves sound like dirge for the de-
parted grandeur Of city.
Towering above a mass of ruins Il
solitary gateway TANKS the entrance
to the Strada Diretta the Straight
street, so called because almost all the
streets in old Goa are Ia out in cur
vilinear form. 1t was through this

st. Catherine and Nasco da Cab that
the newly appointed viceroys of N

establishment.
There was much delay in getting
water, and very soon the theater and the
Y M. c. A. building were on fire. The
falling Of one wall of the theater
crushed Mulholland's jewelry store ad

TO SEND JOINT NOTE.
Demand for Reforms to Cover a
Wide Scope.
Will Not Designate Macedonia
i'm Particular.

Paris. Feb 19.-The Russian foreign
minister Count Lamsdorf has communi-
Gated to the French government the fact
that Russia received yesterday the last
of the adherences of the European pow
ers to the joint note to Turkey on the
subject of reforms. thus making the ac-
ton of the powers unanimous. He ac-
cordingly directed NJ. ZinOVief the Rus
sian ambassador at COnstantinOple to
proceed with Baron Won Gales, the Aus
TRAN ambassador to the sultan anu
present the note today. 1t was at first
intended to present the Austrian note
first but this was reconsidered in order
to give added force to the joint personal
presentation. 1t. was also desired to Sc
cure the full adherence of Germany
which was somewhat conditional al first
The unanimous action decided upon
yesterday includes that of Germany
The note as finally framed strikes out
all reference to Macedonia as 1t was
considered that the designation of one
part of the country by name would in
crease the anti-foreign agitation which
the powers are seeking to check.
The note IS generalized so as to cover
all the localities where Christians reside,
the only locality specified being three
villages in northern Turkey in which
most of the Christians live. The pro-
lection of the lives and the complete
safeguarding of the interests of the
Christians from the chief features of the
note.
In view of the unanimity of the pow
ers the officials here consider that the
sultan is certain to accept the proposed
reforms, but it is not intended to termi-
nate the question with the presentation
OF the note. It Will be followed speedily
by further joint action including send
ing cOnsuls of the various powers
throughout the Christian regions to see
that protection is actually given and
that the reforms are really carried out.
The authorities do not hesitate to say
plans for the betterment of the condi-
ton of the people under Turkish rule
An official here said that while the
United States was not concerned in the
action directly yet the protection de-
manded for all Christians would be in
directly beneficial TO the American
Christians in Turkey.
