Tomb of Marie Bashkirtseff,

In the quaint little cemetery of Pas
sy, a near suburb of Paris, is the tomb
of Marie Bashkirtsef. 1t is consid-
cred the grandest private mausoleum
In France. 1t is also the oldest of
resting places for the dead. The tomb
from the outside looks like a Russian
chapel. Inside it is a combination of
studio and shrine. Relics and mem
cries of mademoiselle are spread
about just as if she had left the apart
ment a moment ago. Brushes, paints,
and easels and the unfinished sketches
tell Of the sudden death of the girl
and how she was snatched from her
l1fe's work. An altar is opposite the
entrance and fresh flowers are kept
here daily. Below this chapel in the
crypt rest the bones of this brilliant
young woman. Many visitors do not
find their v:y to Passy. While it is
true that cemeteries as sights have
passed out of vogue since our puritan
grandparents used to think them the
proper visiting place on Sunday, still
many IN American who has read the
book of Marie Bashkirtseff makes a
pilgrimage to her tomb when in Paris.

That is the Fashionable Color, so an

Deep auburn and the drab shades

knowledge worn five different colors
or shades on her wavy tresses. Hav-
ing been blessed with medium brown
hair by nature she became a ravish-

bleaching first came in.
Next she took to titan red after a
trip to the art galleries of Europe.
Then she thought she would be more
attractive as a brunette, and now her
hair is drab.
"The last is by far the most popu-
lar Of all for the reason that is most
difficult to obtain, and then it is pref

that women who are born with this
particular color Of hair are almost al
ways clever.
"How is it done? Well, in case of a
woman whose hair is dark a bleach

applied. With women whose hair has
turned gray it is a still simpler prob

Fish Know cnlors.

"Fish know colors," said a keeper
at the New York Aquarium the other
day. "They can distinguish between
red and blue, or white and green, as
we'll as you and L. Wait and I'll prove
it."
He led the way to a tank in which
were SOM red and some yellow and
some green fish, and in it were arti-
fetal grottoes painted respectively red
and yellow and green. The keeper
rolled the water with his hand, and
the fish fled, the red ones to the red
grotto, the yellow ones to the yellow
grotto, and the green ones to the green
grotto.
They know which color shields
them from observation BEST" said he.
Now I'll change the grottoes, SO as to
prove my statement a second time"
He moved the grottoes to different
places in the tanks and again rolled
the water.
The same thing followed as before.
Each fish darted like a shot to the
grotto Of its own color, where it knew
it would be best concealed.

Building Up to Requirements.

A Kansas City nan purchased a
city lot with the restriction that he
should not build a house on it to cost
less than $4,000. After having paid
for the lot he decided to build a $500
cottage.
Before he had completed it the real
estate man from whom he had bought
the lot threatened to sue him for
breach of contract. "This little shack
you are building" said the real estate
man, "lacks a whole lot of being a

Japanese Good Miners.

The Japanese miner is called the
best laborer, considering his price. in
the world. The Jap also makes a
good assayer or surveyor. There are
mine workings Of all grades and kinds
in the little empire of Japan. Owing
to the small amount and superficial
nature of the development as yet car
ried out, little is known about it's gold
mining, but hopeful views are ex-
pressed for the future. The gold pro-
ducing parts of the empire are Hon
shu, Kyushu, Hokkaido, and Formosa.
The alluvial mines are in Hokkaido,
but it is in the mining of deposits
other than placers that the bulk of
the future supply OF Japan is expect
ed. The requirements of the mining
authorities are not exacting, and the
area Of land allowed to be taken I'D
ranges from two and a half to five
hundred acres.

The Scriptural Application,

Farmer Hopkins, becoming very
much irritated at his cow one hot aft
ernoon for switching her tail in his
face, as he sat milking her, took, his
knife from his pocket and cut off the
offending member.
This piece of cruelty caused a great
commotion in the neighborhood, and
the following Sunday the teacher of a
restless class of boys tried to impress
on their minds the great in Of such
cruelty and closed her remarks by
asking if any boy could tell some
verse in the Bible that showed how
wrong all such acts of cruelty were.
One little hand went up.
What Is it, George?" said the
teacher.
What God has joined together let
no man put %asunder," triumphantly
answered George.
