hAIIlo' LIN '9--l' lived with BuchRn-
an until he died, and she was with him
first when he was secretary Of state,
then as minister TO England and finally
as president Of the United States
It was q rare experience for an Amer
lean girl in those days-or in any days
for that matter-and Harriet Lane
for that was her name-liVed fully up
to it. While her uncle was minister to
England she was fascinating figure In
London society. When Buchanan was
given the degree Of LII D. at Oxford on
the same day with Alfred Tennyson,
the great demonstration Of the day was
directed toward the beautiful niece Of
the American minister.
During President BuchAnan's resi-
dence in the white house, Albert Ed
ward, prince Of Wales, was q guest
there for five days. and In remembrance
Of those days Edward VII. sent to MrA.
johnson last year q special personal In
Vitation to his coronation.
Harriet Lane was faithful to the fine
old gentleman whose Official DO
sition had given her these social oppor-
tunities, and she remained with him TO
his death. Then, IN 1858, she married
Henry Elliott Johnston, Of Baltimore,
to whom she had been engaged for a
long time. His death and the death Of
her two sons after many years left her
alone in the world. and she has lived the
life Of agentleWoman In q ane old man
sion in a historic quarter Of the ma
tional capital ever since. The old
house contained many interesting SOU
venir sof her career and was a quiet re-
treat for the declining years OF wom-
an who in her day had played a bril-
liant part in the affairs Of two nations.

Each damsel Is seated on q small,
bright colored carpet spread upon the
ground, and each has a negafa-a sort
Of nurse, attendant and duenna com
bined-seated beside her. Conspicu-
ously displayed in front Of each, more
ever, is a big roll Of woven stun. This
roll Of material plays an important
part In the marriage negotiations, and
is always woven by the girl herself.
The young women are attired in the
most expensive and richest gar
ments the parents and relatives can
secure.
They are painted, patched and
powdered, as Is the invariable custom
Of Kabyle bellies, and wear sufficient
rings, bangles, bracelets, chains and
brooches TO stock q smallsiZed jewel

any means always the property Of the
girl or her friends. In fact, they are
mostly borrowed OF hired for the oc-
casion- AS there is a good deal Of
rivalry between the different deheras
and kebails In regard to the appear
ance Of their damsels In the marriage
market. there is no dificulty in getting
on loan as much ornament Of the kind
as the girl can carry on her person,
especially II she Is at all good looking
II is not easy for q stranger to decide
upon the beauty Of the Berber maid,
for she tatoos the face as well as
paints It.
How Is sale and purchase efected7
In the simplest way imaginable. The
would-be buyer has only to walk up
to the carpet upon which the girl he
wishes to own Is seated, touch with his
finger the roll Of woven stun in front Of
her and ask the price. II the young
woman, on looking over the inquiring
tribesman, Is satisfied with him she

If not, she merely quotes q high
price, something up in the hundreds,
and II is then understood that the Of

is not likely to be effected. The actual

ponds upon the standing Of her family
and the kebaI to which they belong.
Il Is fixed, moreover, by immemorial
usage, so that every young man knows
pretty well what he win have 70 pay
for q wife. Hence only those who have
the requisite means can venture to
make an offer for any lot placed on
view.
Il should not, however, be supposed
that these young Berber beauties are
by any means prepared to yield them
selves TO the first conner who can AFFORD
to pay the recognized equivalent to the
parents. KRbyle women are anything
but the docils and obedient drudges
many western readers imagine. They
enjoy q good deal more freedom, In
many respects, than q European wife
In a like rank Of life. They unques-

know how to use the wooden clogs, the

The Kaiser on Music.

Although Emperor William occa-
sionally INDUCES in the extravagant
and fantastic, he frequently utters
words of wisdom. especially in rela-
tion to the arts.
In his recent address to singing So
cieties at Berlin he spoke the truth.
He told the singers that they should
not attempt to perform difficult music
merely because Of its diffic llties. The
emperor shrewdly gives an annual
prize for the best chorus work, and in
addressing the.conductors of the COM
peting societies, numbering $500
voices, he said that in instrumental
music we have already reached the
acme of intricacy. This does not APP
pear to him in itself beautiful, When,
however, he added this style is carried
into song "you forget that lhe human
voice has a limit" He pointed out
that in their zeal and apprehension
concerning technical difficulties the
choruses pitched their songs too high.
lacking the composure essential to
striking the true pitch.
The emperor advised the singers to
devote themselves more to folk songs.
To assist them to this end he an
nounced ahat he would publish for
their use a collection of folk songs.
Sounder advice than this Beethoven
himself could not have given. The
folk songs of every nation are the
rivers of melody which flow into the
great ocean of symphony. Every race
boasting national music has reared
its varied superstructure upon foun-
dation of folk melody. 1t is the old
est airs of the human race that have
furnished the most majestic music of
the world.-Chicago Chronicle.

ty-ene miners had been arrested on the
charge of having violated an injunction
granted by Judge II. G. Kyle in con-
nection with efforts made to resume
work at the mines of the Tennessee
Coal company at Briceville, Tenn. Of
ficials of the United Mine Workers
advised the men against giving bond
except in four cases, and tie twenty

arrests will be made in the next few
days. No attempt was made to re-

ficials say that the union must be
recognized before work is resumed,
and the operators of the mine decline
to grant this Reorganization, which means
prescription of non-uDion labor.

After a trial in the indianapolis
Criminal Court, in which the law and
the evidence were pretty thoroughly
threshed out on both tides, a jury,
after celebrating only few minutes,
acquitted Miss Kate Mason, principal
of one of the city schools, from the
charge of assault and battery for
whipping boy pupil. Under the
strong and clear charge of the court
| the jury could not have done anything
else. The courts charge was good
law as well as good sense, and the
verdict of the jury was right. The
charge was all good, and part of it is
worth repeating. The judge said:
without the power and authority
to compel by all reasonable means and
methods order and obedience the mil
lions of dollars spent in this country
for the care and management of our
schools-the great bulwark of our
country-are as good as wasted. The
law in cases like this not only pre-
sumes that the teacher is innocent as
charged, but the law also presumes
that in this punishment she has done
her duty in the enforcement of obed-
fence and ORDER in her school. 4
Do you think or believe that a fine
wrongfully or enormously assessed in
this case will aid the the teachers in
this school in their attempt to enforce
good order and obedience, or would it
have a tendency to cause others to
rebel and disobey and prosecute, when
the teacher endeavored to compel
obedience: the welfare and best inter-
eSts of all school children i'm this
country in the future, the good of the
common schools, law and order, each
and all demand that you make no mis-
take in this case. -
The court emphasized the import
ance of sustaining teachers in their
efforts to maintain discipline, and de-
precated interference by parents to
prevent a reasonable exercise of
authority. 1t pointed out the fact
that under the laws of the state,
teachers have the same rights and
authority to punish children under
their charge. in reasonable manner
for all misconduct, that the parent of
the child has, and the law Will not in
terfere unless the punishment inflict-
] ed is cruel and unreasonable. ,,
