when schwab was a Bow.

Andrew Carnegie told a story on him
self today, says The Washington corre-
spondence OF The New York Sun. He
said some years ago he wanted TO cross
a mountain In Pennsylvania, and youhg-
ster of rather hardy appearance offered
to take him over for 50 cents. Carnegie
thought the price too great and told the
boy he would pay him only 25 cents. At
ter long argument. In which each stuck
to his price. the youngster won out, and
Mr.. Carnegie says he allowed the lad to
collect the 50 cents. not because the trip
was worth 1t, but because he had to get
on the other side OF the mountain.
Il predicted that the boy would some
day make a fortune" said Mr.. Carnegie,

TOMB OF FRANCIS XAVIER.
In the Church of Bon Jesus in the City
of Goa.

Goa possesses one treasure of great in
tercst. This is the tomb of Francis Nav
Ter, the great Jesuit missionary to the
East. 1t is TO be found in the Church of
Bon Jesus. 1t is masterpiece of art
which is lost to all but the casual visit
ors to old Goa. Some have ventured TO
suggest that no other mausOleum in In
dia or even in Asia, except the Tai Ma
hal, can equal it. 1t is built of rich
marble of variegated colOrs. The lowest
stage is of red and purple jasper and
cites 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 Il lovely railing of red jasper marked
with white spots, the ad0rnments being
figures of angels, while its middle portion
is graced with columns elegantly carved,
whose intervening spaces are SurmOunteu
by arches showing further incidents in
the life of the saint. The friezes of the
four lateral columns are of black stone,
and the plinthS of yellow jasper Sur
mounting this last stage lies the coffin
ovcrlaid with silver, a gorgeous recepta-
Gle embelished with many exquisite spec
linens of relief work. Lumps of silver
depending around complete the ad0rn-
ment of the shrine 1t is a worthy relic
of Goa's departed glory.
The bell of the Augustine convent still
rings forth its vesper peal above this old
city of ghosts, and it is impossible to for
get the effect of the deep, mournful notes
as they strike upon the ear. Never was
heard a more beautiful or more sadly
musical summons than that which calls
in vain from the tower of the Augustines
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 la
Cana closed his glorious life; Goa, where
the immortal Camoens sang and suffered.
1t is now but vast and grassy tomb.
