A Poetical Trousseau.

Where is the American heiress who
can boast a trousseau of thirty cos
tunes, in which every stitch has a po-
etc and symbolic significance! Il
wardrobe Of this kind is in the posses
sion Of Nine. Wong, the wife OF the
Vice-Commissioner from China to the
St Louis Worlds Fair. These Won
derful dresses were unpacked the 9TH
or day at the Wong residence in st.
Louis. No two Of the gowns were alike
and many of them are woven IN an en-
tire piece. The exquisite workman
ship in the robes is beyond the power
of description. All are embroidered
in SO delicate fashion that an artists s
brush could not have delineated them
more perfectly. Each flower and en-
blem worked on the gown Of Chinese
woman of rank signifies some beautl-
full sentiment. A robe embroidered
with plum blossoms speaks the poetry
of life. The phoenix, with its out
stretched wings, denotes welded hap
piness. To the uninitiated eye this
wealth of embroidery is the perfection
of the artists skill. but TO the Chinese
husband each sprig and blossom, bird
and butterfly, carries its own message
of love.-ChicagO News.

Pnaed "a Oueen.

"A silver haired American woman is
still living who posed for many a day

portrait of the Queen in her coronation

Oil Your Umbrella.

A former peddler, nov rich insur-
ance man. stood in a sh;. .;ered corner
during big storm and watched the
umbrellas go to pieces as the wind hit
them full force. Probably all those
umbrellas are wrecks because of the
lack of little oil" he said. That's
trick l learned as peddler. An um-
brella is primarily thing of joints,
and to keep it in good condition the
joints should be oiled. l found that
nearly all umbrellas break in the joints
first, and why shouldn't they? The
joints are never oiled, and yet are ex-
pected to respond easily to sudden
opening. To get the best use out of
an umbrella the joints should be oiled
first with coal Oil or kerosene, to clean
off the rust, and then with lubricat-
ing oil to make them work easily.
Thus treated an umbrellas framework
will last indefinitely" - Wilkesbarre
Leader.

A PROSE POEM.
Touching Letter of Resignation Written
by an Aged Woman Clerk.

Touching Letter of Resignation Written
by an Aged Woman Clerk.
An aged woman clerk of the Pension
Office resigned recently and did so
in a letter to Commissioner Ware. Of
which the following is about one
fourth:
'It is with peculiar sadness that l
place my hand in the horny old palm
which has so long extended bread and
shelter to me and mine, saying. Good
by. Uncle Sam AS one who sails
from a port where years of deepest
meaning and solemn earnestness have
been spent-where the surges call with
voices of friends and comrades whose
tender sympathy and helpful hands
have sweetened with hydromel the cup
of rue Gods children all must drink
so turn l from the old building where
some of my tenderest memories are
earnered. and where l and my two
helpless children were shepherded out
of the storm into the fold of a great
and good Government. In looking
backward upon long experience it
seems to me that only the true, the
beautiful and the good arise to greet
us, for they are the real things-the
immortal part Of our life on earth. The
rest has dropped from US as the worn
garments OF our upward struggle; Of
ten tear stained. perhaps blood dyed
in some dark Gethsemane known only
to God and the SOUL"

that to music and sing it."-New York

Becoming Hats of Rubber.

The gossamer rubber silk lined au-
tomobile hoods are not unbecoming,
especially to the piQuant faced woman.
These hoods are gathered full in front
over the hat and fail long and straight
around the face under the chin to the
back. A hat is also made of this rub
ber which has a bright silk lining. 1t
looks like any other chapeau, and is
trimmed with rosettes and frills OF
the same, sometimes reversed to give
the needed touch of color.

Mjkado's Bird.

A live eagle was captured recently
by one of the torpedo boats blockading
Port Arthur and presented to the Mi
kado. 1t was probably a specimen of
the large spotted eagle. which is COM
mon on the LiaOtung promontory.
When these birds of prey are tired of
the Mongolian lamb they go down to
meet the geese. Some remain near
Shanhaikwan for the wild fown, but
most follow the enormous focks which
converge on Mukden. The Lialishan.
south of Port Arthur. was long an
eagle preserve, where birds were
netted and sent TO PekiD as part OF
the Manchuriap tribute.
