Curious Loss and Recovery.

At King Edwards coronation the
duchess of Buccleuch lost a bracelet
III singular manner. Il had become
attached to lady's dress, was folded
away with the garment and not seen
until the unconscious finder had been
away for holiday and had the robe
out again. That, however, is COM
monplace compared with the expert
ence OF an English clergyman. A
ring which was an heirloom in his
family was stolen from his keeping.
Nothing was heard of it for eighteen
years. Then it turned up inside a
glove at bazaar in New Zealand
promoted bya relative of the original
owner. 1t had passed from hand to
hand and finally been left in one OF
the fingers of the glove which had
been sent to he sold.

HOME OF CASHMERE SHAWLS.
There Is Not Enough Demand for the
Industry to Keep Workers
Employed.

A New Yorker who is now living in
Shadipore, India, in the vale of Cash
mere, the home Of the beautiful Cash
mere shawl, gives a melancholy &C
count of the decline of a great and
famous industry. These rare and costly
shawls, which were SO much priced in
the days of our grandmothers and
handed down as heirloms from mother
to daughter, are still made in Cashmere.
but their glory has departed, and the
cheap and seductive aniline dye has
displaced the soft and beautiful color
ings in the oldtime vegetable dyes, says
the New York Tribune.
The men who understand their ma
nipulation have gone to more lucrative
fields, or else they lie in humble grave
yards hard by the struggling village
streets, and the wild iris clothes their
resting places with colors far more deli
cate than any they ever mixed.
The Cashmere shawl industry re-
ceived it's death blow during the Fran
co-Prussian war, at the breaking up of
the French court The shawls were
brought to France for the great Ma
poleon, and fashion Immediately set her
seal upon them But when the court Of
Napoleon III crumbled in the dust the
vogue of the Cashmere shawl fell with
it, and famine and distress invaded the
PARKWAY valleys of Cashmere.
Shadipore, which was once one of the
centers of the Cashmere shawl indus
try, is beautifully located in a valley at
the junction of the Sind and Jkelum
rivers. Numerous herds of cattle find
rich pasturage on the surrounding hills,
and the giant chenar, the glory of Cash
mere, makes the valley look like
park. But the village has shrunk to a
mere hamlet of rickety houses, and the
luxuriant vegetation fails to cover its
baroness and poverty. What is left OF
the shawl industry Is carried on by
boys and men, who earn from two to
eight annas a day, or from four to
eight cents in American coinage. For
this beggarly sum they sit all day long
at the looms, which are almost as for
lorn as themselves in appearance, for
they date back to the days of prosper
fly and are held together by generous
use of string.
There is just enough demand for the
shawls to keep the industry alive. Rich
Cashmerians like to wear Cashmere
shawls, and also employ them aa
draperies, and few find their way TO
Central Asia and Tibet

Gladstone and the Poet.

An anonymous writer in To-Day
tells an interesting anecdote of a
visit paid by Gladstone to little
bookshop near the Odeon, in Paris.
AS he entered, Gladstone saw a
strange looking man in conversation
with the bookseller and carrying an
old copy of Villon's poems. His
Dress was ragged and dirty, his face
was matted with hair, and he
had the eyes of an archange1, with
the mouth and jaw of a balloon.
Nevertheless, the respectful attitude
of the bookseller showed that the
man was personality. Gladstone
entered into conversation with him
about Villon, and for an hour they
talked about early French poetry.
Then the stranger shuff1ed out of the
shop. Who is that gentleman?
asked Gladstone; he has an extra
ordinary knowledge of French
poetry Monsieur, he himself is our
greatest poet. C'est Paul Ver-
laine!'''

ONE BASS THRICE TAKEN.
Greedy Fish Comes Back After the
Bait Although Wounded
in the Effort.

sometimes fish strikes because it ia
hungry, sometimes because it is irri-
tated, sometimes because it has got into
the habit of doing so. There are fish
which, when a bait has been snatched
away from them once, cannot be tempt
ed to attack 1t again, though the hook
has not touched them; there are others
which will return to the charge, even
though they have been badly scratched,
says the New York Sun.
Recently a couple Of men fishing
from a boat on Round Lake, in Sawyer
county, Wis, caught couple of dozen
of bass and, having enough, returned
to the water all taken thereafter. One
returned three-pounder whose side
had been freshly SCARED by muskal-
longe.
A moment afterward the frog was
taken and he hauled out fish SCARED
in the same place. He believed it to be
the same fish, but to make sure clipped
the edge of a back fin with his knife and
put it in the water.
After couple of casts the frog was
again seized and the fish, after fight,
was reeled in. 1t was the marked bass.
To avoid taking this fish all Of the af-
ternOOn the boat was moved away.
Early in June two friends named
Wade and Shive1y, fishing on Long
Lake, Wis, lost two frogs apiece and all
within five minutes. They were using
small green frogs hooked through the
lips. They believed that some extraor-
dinarily smart bass was after their
hook.
Then Shively got a strike and
hooked his fish. A big fight followed,
and when the bass was landed it was
found that it had taken all five frogs.
George Clark, of Chicago, fishing in
the Gogebic region of Michigan this
spring, hooked muskallonge when
trolling with some sixty feet Of line
out. The fish Immediately rolled over
on the line, wrapping it about it's body
twice or thrice, and gave hard fight.
After twenty minutes of work it was
brought to the boatside and shot
through the head.
1t weighed IL pounds, not a particu-
larly big musky, but strong and game.
Certainly 1t struck at the spoon be-
cause it was angry and not because It
was hungry, for sticking out of one side
of it's mouth was the tail of a bass
which weighed pound and a half
Three inches of the tail and body pro-
jected; the remainder of the bass was
firmly fastened in the NAV and doubt
less the tail would have been swallowed
after the other part was digested il
Clark and his spoon had not happened
along.
The musky made it's fight with the
bass sticking out of one side of it's
mouth and the hook sticking into the
other side of it, and the bass was not
loosened at all by the struggles.

A SUNSHINY WOMAN,

she always seems so pleasant that
L often wonder what good fairy,
BY magic of some wand's fat,
Decreed her moods and manners airy;
And SnllleS-I marvel much thereat
When cares great cross is hers to carry.
Yet, be dull grief or gladness present,
She hath the art of seeming pleasant.
To beauty slight would be her claim,
Likewise to grace and lofty station,
And, though she bears an honored name,
Her hearts ne'er felt that quick pulsa-
ton
That comes with picking fruits of fame
And earning critics sweet collation..
Her placid life hath known no wimpIe,
Yet smiles keep e'er her cheeks a-dimple.
I think the fates or fairies must
Have when with graces they endowed
her,
Bethought how beauty flies as dust
And fame doth crumble into powder,
While smiles live on, and, being just,
This greater boon than all allowed her
A grace most sweet in queen or peasant
The one Of always being pleasant!

RIVER AT ST. LOUIS
Crest of the Flood Expected Sunday
and May Reach the Heishth of
Thirty five Feet.

St Louis. June 5. The river this
morning registered 33.5 feet, rise of
la feet during the past twenty-four
hours. The crest of the flood is ex-
pected Sunday, maybe thirty-siX feet
or more. In North and South st. Louis
the river is several miles wide.
The river. although 1t is out of its
banks, and III places as wide as an IN
land sea, is rising more rapidly today,
than ar any time since the present
flood began. The flood has reached
stage where barriers are surmounted
and every additional inch increases
the menace TO life and property out of
proportion to the actual amount OF
the rise.
Every hour increases the present ana
irrespective property losa in ST. Louis
and cities on the east side of the river.
To st. Louis nothing worse can happen
than the gradual encroachment OF wa
tcrs over the lower portion OF the city.
To the east side there is reason Tor
grave fear that the waters. breaking
their restraint, may come with rush.
Madison levee is all that holds back
the waters at their barriers, ready TO
spread destruction thru the east side
communities. 1t is said this levee is
capable of withstanding thirty eight
feet. When the waterreacaes thierty- five
feet the pressure against the levee will
be very great and 1t is feared this. to-
gether with constant washing at the
base of the artificial bank, may cause
Ii to crumble and give way and let the
flood loose upon East ST. Louis and the
smaller cities lying north of it.
A break has occurred in the Madison
levee one mile north of the merchants
bridge, endangering the lives of several
thousand residents at Granite City.
Five hundred men are at work to stop
the break.
