Through the years the modern fashion
of wearing black in memory of the dead,
ana to show forth personal bereavement,
has been satirized and criticised. But it
grows with the years and there is no lit
tie of rivalry in costumes now of the
KIND indicated. The Nashville, (Tenn.) ,
Methodist Christian Advocate" lately
said
"A woman with heavy crepe veil hid.
ing half of her face, might be properly
dressed in Turkey, but she is an anchron-
ism IN Christian land. When will the
barbaric custom Of wearing mourning
cease? Hlndoos consider a woman dis
gruced if her husband dies. and Moham-
indians require their wives to veil their
taces, but what have these heather no
tons to do with the way Christian wo-
men should dress?''
That great master of English style and
OF poetic sympathy, John Ruskin, asked
orce: Why should we wear black for
the guests of God?' White is the livery
OF Heaven.
Is there not something in the following
lincs to attract. to please? Is there not
genuine poetic aroma around them? In
singing the praise of what that true poet
Young called Tired natures sweet re-
storer, balmy sleep" is there not merit IN
the following?

What dog is this that dares to bay?"
1t was the duke who spoke
Il am no dog, my lord but burgher OF
Morvaix, and l do but speak what all here

The duke fixed his keen eyes on the
mans face, and without word signed to
some of those about him. Three soldiers
sprang toward the smith, who faced them
fearessly, and lifted his hammer.
II have done no wrong. No man shall
touch me-" he said threateningly.
Down with the rebel dog cried the
duke; and at the words the soldiers, who
had hesitated, rushed upon the smith. Two
went down with broken heads from blows
of the terrible hammer; but the third got
his halberd in, AMI as the man lay on the
ground others dashed forward and thrust
home.

The duke smiled coldly on the crowd, and

people shrinking in silence from the troops.
Gerard's hot blood had fired at the scene,

His two followers crossed to him. AS the

DANGER IN EARLY RISING.
New York Medical Specialist Says It
Conduces to Madness.

From the Hospital.
All the spiritual descendants of Sancho
Panza, that finest eulogist of slumber,
should bless the name of DR.. Selden Tai
colt of New York. DR.. Talcott Is spe-
ciaIist in mental diseases, and he declares
that the habit of early rising conduces to
madess. The free and lazy savage" he
says, gets up when he feels ready, and
rarely or never becomes insane" Dr. Tai
colts protest should be considered care
fully by his ellow-countrymen. who. even
more than the British, pride themselves on
their active habits. Recently. We believe,
there has been founded in New York a
society whose members pledge themselves
not to take more than four hours sleep in
the twenty-fo 1t would be interesting to
follow the health and life histories of those
who keep this pledge. For we do not sup
pose that there is anything dangerous In
early rising in itself, but only in the COM
blnation Herewith of going to bed late.
On the whole, it is better to obey the old
proverb and ''go to bed with the lamp and
get up with the lark" But it is a different
thing when one combines the attempt to
fulfill the latter part of the advice with a
habit of going to bed with the nightingale.
Yet the increasing strain of business COM
pels early rising In those who would sue
coed, while If they want to combine pleas
sible to get to bed before midnight or even
then, for our amusements seem to begin
and end later every year The energetic
people who go in for this fashion of life
are apt to assure others. and themselves
also, that they do not require much sleep,
and undoubtedly 1t is possible with prac-
tice to do with much less than the normal
amount of rest. 1t Is important, however,
to remember that such a habit cannot be
INDUCED in without corresponding sacri-
flee of health.

been lifted by some of the sympathizing
townsfolk; and then with cry of anger he
dashed holly toward them, followed by his
companions.
Several of the soldiers had rushed upon
the men carrying the corpse and with
oaths and blows seized the body from them
and flung 1t on the ground
The girl courageously placing herself be-
tween the soldiers and the frightened
townsfolk, had turned upon the former and
ordered them away; but the DULLES thrust
her roughly aside.
Gerard was by her side in an instant,
flung the man who had touched her to the
ground, and with hand on his sword dared
the men to interfere further
The soldiers were still present in the
square in force, and many came to the side
OF their comrades. At the same time, in
spired by Gerards daring, a great crowd
of the townsfolk closed up behind him. 1t

There was a moment of hesitation while
the two opposing bodies glared angrily at
one another. Pascal with ready wit seized

further violence to dead or living.
While he was haranguing them a number
Of men in monkish dress ranged themselves
at his side.

citizens bore the dead body away The

NEW YoRK's FOREST AREA.
Quite Lot of It in Town Outside of
the Park.

From the New York Sun.
New York city's forest area in public
parks and private grounds is still pig
enough, after years of waste, to furnish
timber for formidable old-fashioned wood
en- navy, to rebuild in wood a large part OF
the city itself should other material fail
after a conhagration, and to feed the fires
of many thousand householders.
Every borough, even Manhattan, has
considerable forest area outside the public
parks. The upper extremity of the Island
is wild of woodland, which furnishes
pretty fair imitation of the Adirondack
forest on a small scale. Even Brooklyn has
outlying scraps of woodland which aggre-
gate big lot. Staten Island, seen from
balloon looks like forest with inhabited
clearings, and the upper part OF the Bronx
has enough forest to furnish fair cover
to the denizens of the Zoo should they es-
cape.
Up in the Bronx, in spite of new streets
and new dwellings, you may still see Forest
areas in the act of spreading. There seems,
indeed, something In the soil of the Bronx
that is specially favorable to the growth
of trees Suburban homesteads of not more
than dozen years find themselves grad
uaily shut in by encroaching shrup
One householder has recently cut down
naples more than a foot In diameter, the
growth Of little more than decade, and
the natural forest trees In the same GROUNDS
during the same period have in some in
stances trebled in diameter Elms that
were mere saplings ten years ago are now
stout trees, which promise In another ten
years to be almost giants of their kind.
Evergreens have grown beyond recognition,
and the tulip poplars, which seem to love
the soil of the Bronx better than any other
tree, native or exotic, outstrip all their
neighbors.
A walk along the edge of one of the larger
Bronx woodlands Is a simple lesson In Tor
estry You may easily count In less than
ten minutes of such a walk three or four
of the eleven varieties of oak said to -four
ish there. Bristling along with the white
oaks, red oaks and pin oaks on the forest
edge are the pointed fronds Of the pignut
hickory, the greater and more tropical
leaves Of the shagbark hfckories, the wildly
contorted branches and foliage of the syca-
more chestnuts hoary with blossoms. the
exquisite rich dropping fronds OF the
American elm, the taut, low growing limbs

TWO PECULIAR PRISONERS.
One Refused to Battle and the Other
Had Fits.

The workhouse authorities have been
called upon recently to deal with two pecu-
liar prisoners in that institution. The first
of these was colored woman who I'M
blushingly acknowledged, according 20
Superintendent Harry E. Brockson of the
workhouse for women, that she had never
taken a bath in her lifetime, covering a
period of forty years.
when this woman first came to the
institution from the Police Court" said
Mr. Brockson, "she was ordered into the
bath room with the other prisoners to
battle herself, according to an iron-clad
regulation of the prison. She entered the
bath room all right, but positively de-
clined to disrobe and get into the tub when
ordered to do so by the women attend
ants.
mo, indeed she is reported to have
said, Use nebber took a bath in de whole
forty yeahs OBJ my life, an / amt gwine
ter start in now
The woman had a great mass of froway
hair on her head, and when Superintendent
BrOckson was called upon to deal with
the obstreperous woman and make her
comply with the rules she still stoutly re-
fused to battle. BY a sudden movement
Mr.. Brockson seized her and whirled her,
clothes and all, into the tub. Then several
stalwart cOlored women were ordered to
disrobe and thoroughly scour the founder
ing prisoner, and the superintendent with
drew while that order was being exc
cuted.
"She got BATH" said Mr.. Brockson to a
Star reporter, ''and a good scrubbing in
the bargain. No, 1t did not kill her like
1t did that tramp prisoner in a Philadel-
phia prison who had not bathed for six
teen years. but she looked a lighter and
more ashy shade after her experience"
The other case was that of a male pris-
oner who was subject to fits, his paroxysms
resembling those of person suffering from
hydrophobia. When seized with a fit he
would froth at the mouth. utter a guttu-
raj sound somewhat resembling the bark
of a dog, and shrink from water when 1t
was placed before him. BY order of Super
intendent Zinkhan this man was closely
watched and placed in a safety cell.

CHAPTER II.
The Maisou de Malincourt.

Three hours after the scene in the mar
| ket place girl sat at her spinning wheel
on the terrace of the Maison de Malincourt,
opposite stately flight of steps leading
down to wide garden.
She was Lucette de Boisdegarde the fos-
| ter sister and close friend of Mademoiselle
de Malineourt.
Her industry was only fitful. The wheel
was often still and she would sit idly fin
gering the threads of cleaning fax and
| thinking.
She was in one of these preoccupied moods
| when her sharp ear heard a footstep. In a
moment she set her wheel whirling swiftly
| and appeared too deeply engrosSed In her
work and song to have eyes or ears for
anything else.
| Yet young Denys St. Jean was worth
| looking at; soldierly in bearing and self
| reliant, with a fair, frank honest face,
| though now grave with thought and pur-
| pose.
When she gave no sign that she knew of
| his presence he turned, stole up behind her
softly and bent over her
You know I'm here" he whispered.
"Ah, Antoine 1 knew your tread"
"Antoine!' exclaimed Denys, with an
angry start. What do you mean by that,
Lucette?"
The wheel stopped and she looked
around her face pretty mask of coquet-
| fish surprise and her eyes beaming with
mischief.

gest;on of disapp ointment in the tone, a

For a second she let her roguish eyes rest

said, and turned again to her wheel.
