The most graceful and at the same

chiefly of a top and some paper but

them: HE took an ordinary boys top
and spun it in the air, then threw the

such accuracy that it was caught up
and wound itself all ready for the

Lovemaking Begins After the we'd

The word "courtship" has no equiya-
lent in the French tongue, because the
thing itself does not exist. Stolen
tete-a -tetes, even furtiye kisses, may,
Of course, be INDUCED In, but only un-
der a modified chaperonage, the half
shut eye of parents or guardians. No
young French lady would be permitted,
for instance, to undertake cycling ex-
pedition with her future husband. Still
less could she take train with him for
the purpose OF visiting relations in the
country were the journey of half an
hours duration only. LOvemaking be-
gins with the honeymoon.
For centuries, alike In the humblest

Of these documents, the rustic brides

There is the regime dotal, which safe

the regime de la communaute, which
makes wedlock strictly a partnership
as far as income and earnings are con-
cerned. And there are minute regula-
tions as TO the provision for children
and widows. The latter are always
sacrificed to the former.-Cornhill.

ChicaRo,s McKinIey statue.

Chicago still retains its reputation
for practically and a more or less
harmonious blending Of the beautiful
and the useful. For instance, back in
the days of the Columbian exposition
visitors to Chicago were constrained
to notice a heroic statue Of Christie
pher Columbus on the lake 'front.' its
bronze fingers extended much in the
fashion of an iron rake. Later the
statue was ANONYMOUSLY hauled Off
its pedestal and carted away to one OF
the parks, where it slumbered peace
fully among various kinds Of junk.
Now, however, it has been recast into
a statue Of William Mckinley and is
to be erected in the new Mckinley
park of that city. 1t is to be hoped
the transformation has been success
full and that the statue may be as
worthy to commemorate the fame Of
our martyred president as that fine st.
Gaudens statue of Lincoln is to remind
visitors to Lincoln park, Chicago, Of
the great emancipator.-New York

WON HIM A FORTUNE.
How Genin Got Barnum to Advertise
Him All over the Country.

When Jenny Lind, the great Swedish
singer, visited America In 1S4S she not
only won a fortune for herself, but
made two men wealthy as well. One
of them was Barnum, the Snowman.
1t was Barpum who brought her to
America. He ventured all that he
could raise in advertising the wonder
full woman, and his successful manage
ment Of her tour in this country lifted
Barnum to grand business success.
But there was another man who got
rich without having anything to do
with the management of the Jenny
Lind concert tour. 1t was Genin, the
New York halter His name and busl-
ness were advertised by Barnum wher-
ever the Jenny Lind concerts were adj
vertised, and it didn't cost Genin one
penny for all of the advertising that
Barnum did for him.
There was no hall in New York big
enough to accommodate the crowds
which attended the first concert In this
country, so Castle Garden was lifted
up for the purpose, and the seats were
sold at auction. Now, Genin was an
unknown halter, although he was
good one. He went to the auction sale
Of seats at Castle Garden and outbid
everybody. He ran up the price or the
first ticket until some Of his friends
thought he was going crazy and tried
to induce him to desist. But Genin
was not crazy by any means. He kept
on bidding until he finally got the hfst
ticket for $3.50. He had Outbid the rich
est men IN New York.
The next day and every day after
ward for many months 1t was an
nounced that "Genin, the New YORK
halter, had paid $50 for the first Jen-
ny Lind ticket"
And wherever Barnum advertised his
concert he advertised that fact to show
what great attraction he was touring
with. As a consequence Genin's hats
were in demand all over this country,
and he became enormously rich.

The honest conductor refused the

A Money Raiser.

One million dollars year for four
teen years is the record OF collections
made by William Rainey Harper, pres
ident of the University Of Chicago. Mr..
Harper has a smooth, pugnacious face,
swapping black eyes and wears gold
trimmed spectacles. He has a large
neck and a heavy, square jaw which
makes the lower part Of his face as
wide as his forehead. His figure is
stout and pudgy, his speech crisp and
abrupt. 1t is popularity supposed that
whenever Mr.. Harper has nothing else
to do he puts on his hat, buttons up his.
Prince Albert coat and sallies out into
the Chicago business center, plucking
checks from the Offices Of magnates as
he would collect autumn leaves.

Icon Subjects.

Icons may represent anything from
the figure Of saint to a historical
scene. such as martyrdom. Often
they take the form Of a diptych or
triptych or a polyptych crowded with
angular or diminutive figures Of saints
or miniature scenes from the life OF the
Virgin or some other Biblical person
age. From the number Of scenes con-
tanned in these objects the peasants
came to call them churches" for there
were not more pictorial representations
within the church Itself. Such icons
may be Of brass or Of carved lockwood,
being sometimes ornamented with en-
amels.
