1t was out of all this that the Grand
Army of the Republic grew into being
in 1878, with a membership Of only Sl,'

ineytable-as inevitable as Its decline
and death. In 1890 the organization
reached the high-water mark with an
enrolment of 4O9,4S9, since which
time it has diminished at the rate OF

II is not generally known that
statue Of Dom Paul was quite recent
ly completed in Aberdeen, Scotland. It's
cost was over S5OO.0OO, and it was at
first intended that the statue should
be delivered in Pretoria on Oct. 10
last-Oom Paul's birthday. Unfortu-
nately it did not arrive there in time,
and is now waiting at the Cape pend
ing the end of the war before 1t can
be delivered to its consignees, and just
now the chances Of its ever being der
livered or erected do not seem very
propitious from a Boer point of view.
But the curious thing in connection
with this statue is that, in Difference
to Mrs Kruger's wishes, the chimney
pot hat on the Presidents head has
been left roofess, SO that rain water
might collect, and afford solace to
thirsty birds. Even in Great Brit
ain statues adorned with ''toppers"
are not quite SO uncommon as many
people imagine. and at least one is
further ornamented by an umbrella.
This is to be seen at Reading, Eng
land, and represents the late Mr..
George Palmer. of biscuit fame, who,
besides wearing a bronze topper, car
ries in one hand an unfolded umbrel-
la. One of the most curious statues
in Scotland is that erected in Glas-
gov to Mr.. James Oswald, M. p, who
holds, upside down in his hand. an
enormous bronze hat, which success
sive generations of Glasgow gamins
for the past ferty-six years have never
tired of endeavoring to fill with stones.
A very remarkable statue is to be seen
in Venice. representing Saint Theodore
standing on a crocodile on the top of
a granite column. Both the figures
are beautifully carved IN the finest
Greek marble, but are joined togeth-
er in a rather curious manner with
bronze-coated iron. Saint Theodore
stands sixteen feet in height, while
tie crocodile beneath him is just
fourteen feet long. Few statues in the
far east are more striking than the
huge image of woman, dedicated to
Hackman, the Goddess Of War, in the
capital Of Japan It is made OF wood
and plaster, and is 54 feet high. The
interior Of the figure is partly hollow,

Rabbit and
RArebit

1t is high time that all lovers Of Eng
lish should unite in common protest
against that barbarous colloeation of
words. Welsh rarebit," says the New
York Herald Every now and then in
the past some good man has raised his
voice in a plea for the right phrase,
Welsh rabbit" and has then disap-
peared. Such staccato protests have
proved unavailing. The word rarebit
has now insinuated itself upon SO per
cent of all the menus in New York.
The small hotels caught the habit from
the greater ones. The French and
German hostelries initiated their Am
erican contemporaries. Nor is this the
worst Owners Of chophouses and res
taurants fiaunt the offensive word on
their gilded signboards in the very face
Of the public at large. Now, why is
this? Not dictionary of today sane

have never heard anyone order any
thing else than rabbit. Nay, the very
waiter who repeats the order to the
cook says Welsh rabbit" That is, in
deed. one of the most curious OF all
pathological feats-that by which some
amateur etymologist Of the past forced
the wrongful substitution Of rarebit"
for rabbit" upon the world It has
ever been common habit with the
etymologist of this breed when the
meaning of the word does not seem

ADMIRABLE GIRLS.

There Are Three Types; Pretty, Stylish
and Picturesque.
The three types Of girs who are most
admired In these days are the girl who
= pretty. the girl who is stylish. and
the girl who is picturesque. Studious
and intellectual girls are classed with
the women. The pretty girl seems to
have an invincible weapon in her
hands. She is taught from her in
fancy that she is favored above other
girls. and, alas. by the law OF ma
ture's compensation, she generally
grows up without an idea in her fluffy
pate beyond the best pose for that
same pate and the best piece Of mil
linery with which to adorn 1T The
stylish girl is the one whose clothes
seem made for her and her alone She
will take the commonplace hat Of her
pretty sister and, placing it on her
modish head. give it pat or two
which will transform it until her
neighbors swear It is imported.
Everything belonging to her par
takes Of her individuality, until even
the everyday sailor or rough straw is
distinguished as 1t hangs on the hall
rack. and the fuzzy brown cape which
she dons in wet weather looks more
perky and self-satished than her neigh
boris sealskin. which does not belong
to the stylish girl 1t is some power
within her which enables her to select
out Of the thousand and one hats at
the millinery opening the very bit of
headgear which will make her the
cynosure Of all eyes. says the Philadel-
phia Inquirer Now, the picturesque
girl does not strike one at first sight
SO frequently. but she is the one who
grows on one until she seems the
incest thing in the room, and the best
hit Of beauty in sight. Her gowns al
ways have a dreamy fall to them, as

had animated their folds. She is al
ways delightful, for she is continually
a contrast to the women about her.

SLEEVES IN Wells:
The Peculiar Costume Of the women Of
Korea- .

Korea. .
In Korea, where Chinese customs
predominant, it is hard to account for
the origin Of the veil. The women Of
the weIl-to-do middle and upper classes
are kept most sedulously guarded. The
latter are seldom allowed to 90 out at
all, and then only at night A curious
tale is told to account for a certain
feature Of the wells. This consists Of
a pair of dependent and evidently use
less sleeves with cuffs, of another col
or, at the bottom. Veil is not a
proper word to use for this head COW
cring. for 1t is of thick material-cot-
ton, linen or grass cloth-and it would
be impossible to see anything through
It, 1t is always white, to match the
other Korean garments. AS a nation
from collie to mandarin-they all
wear It, The woman Is obliged to push
the folds of the veil away from her
eyes so that she may look through the
aperture. The tale concerning them
is this: Several hundred years ago.
when Korea was fighting the Chinese,
the entire Korean army and all the
men in the capital of Seoul had
marched out in defense of that capital
to meet an attacking force toward the
north. At the same time another force,
unknown to the Koreans, approached
Seoul from the south. Since every
able-bodied man had already gone to
the attack, the city and the remain
ing inhabitants were threatened with
destruction. The Korean women, how
ever, like their sisters in other parts
Of the world, devised a plan by which
they might fustrate the enemy. They
donned their husbands long white
garments with the wide sleeves. and
gathering together, marched boldly to-
ward the foe, who, appalled, by the
sight of such an unexpected force OF
Koreans. fed in haste. and the city
was saved. When the army returned
and IT was made known what the wom-
en- had done, 1t was decreed that there
after they should wear mems sleeves
hanging from their wells as mark Of
honor and badge of their bravery in
the national crisis. Even more un-
comfortable than the wells must be the
massive headdress Of the woman who
acts as bridesmaid at a Korean we'd
ding. The rules Of iron-clad Korean.
etiquette demand that she shall be
dressed in this way, SO no one thinks
Of questioning the custom. Huge
masses Of false switches, as
We call them-are piled in fantastic
way on the unfortunate woman's head
till a wonderful effect is obtained.

VII, made many additions to this part
of the Imperial Palace, and especially
a great stairway as mentioned by John
in the epitaph on his tomb in the
Church OF st. Anastasia
The Pontifcal court lived In this
part of the Palatine, overlooking the
Forum, until the tenth century, and
this explains the beauty and the size
OF the church recently discovered. In
it is to be recognized the Pontihcal
chapel dedicated to the Virgin. On
the wall at the end is represented
Christ surrounded by halo Of cheru-
blm and angels in attitudes of adora-
ton, and in the apse Is the figure Of
the Savior, the symbols Of the Evan
gelists, and scenes from the life OF
Joseph in Egypt. These paintings OF
the early ages Of Christianity are OF
extraordinary interest. and are no
table addition to the astonishing series
OF historical antiquities by which the
history Of Rome can be traced from
the earliest period down to modern
times.

and the head, which is large enough to
hold twenty people comfortably is
reached by a winding staircase. In
one hand the figure grasps a huge
wooden sword, and in the other ball,
twelve feet in diameter A somewhat
similar statue to the one just men
toned is that Of Cadillac. the founder
of Detroit, and II is erected on the
Belle Isle, small island in the lake
just outside the city. The figure Is
$50 feet high, and is in reality great
building in the shape Of a man,
clothed in the style Of dress usually
worn by the Puritans. Elevators run
from the base Of the structure through
the legs to the various floors in the
interior of the monument. which are
fitted up as art galleries. museums
restaurants. etc. A very remarkable
monument has been erected over the
grave of Lucas Douglas. at Westfeld
Cemetery, in the United States. He
was rather an eccentric man, and, in
stead of bequeathing his property to
his relatives, he arranged that prac-
tically all his estate, after paying his
debts. should be expended on an orna-
ment to he placed over his grave.
Four cars, each drawn by twenty
seven horses, drew the statue to the
cemetery, and as a safe precaution all
the bridges were strengthened over
which the load had to pass. The statue
itself takes the form of sort Of glori-
fed representation Of the late Lucas
Douglas, all Of which and the coping
and ornamentations are made Of mar
Bile. The base Of the statue alone
weighs over sixtheen tons. In the
parish church of Yarmouth. Isle Of
Wight, is a static with a head that
does not belong to it. The statue in
question is that Of Richard Holmes.
who fought under Prince Rupert. and
was governor of the island from 1867
to 1892. The body Of the figure was
really intended to represent Louis
XIV, but during the war which was
being waged against him at that time
Holmes seized the statue from ship
on its way to France, and compelled
the sculptor who was on board, to re-
place the head of the great Louis by
one of his own.

One Of the most peculiar accidents on
record occurred to Mr.. Alexander
Ketcham Of Chesterville, a few miles
west Of Aurora. Ind Mr.. Ketcham
has been raising Belgian hares. and
has been keeping them on the second
floor OF an old vacant house. He has
but one arm, the right one having been
lost in a railroad accident some years
ago. In his left arm Ketcham was car

pets Ketcham climbed the rickety
staircase laboriously. and as he got to
the top started to pull open the door
Just as he did that one Of his rab-

neighborhood Of 16 pounds. jumped
against the door. The force OF the con-

staircase His fall was only about 10
feet. and luckily no bones we're broken.
He is now telling wild tales, however.
