Famous Lost Treasures.

The Venus de Milo, which has been
in the Louvre for many years, is, as
all the world knows, an imperfect
piece of sculpture, though it = is the
greatest treasure of its kiEd the world
has ever seen. A great reward would
be given the man Sho could 6nd the
missing parts. About % years ago
the most important of them-the right
arm-came to light in London and
was proved by experts to be genuine.
The owner, however, refused to part
with it, and concealed 1t for fear il
would be stolen. Unfortunately, he
died without revealing lis hiding
place, 80 it as much lost as ever.
A bronze drinking cup which was
stolen from an Egyptian temple In
1889 and brought to Europe has mir
aculously disappeared. On it il en-.
graved the whole history of the Phlr-
aohs aud 1t could easily be s)li for
100000. In fact, the French gov
ernment offered reward Of $4,000
for its discovery, but the famous cup
has vanished, probably forever.
Another treasure which has van
ished in strange wa is the Marcella
vase OF the Dresden collection. This
is the only piece missing from the
famous Dresden Marcella collection,
the value Of which is said to be $75,-
600. 1t bears the cross and the lion S
head. Not long ago the vase Was said
to be in England, but be that as it
may, the persons who redlscover this
treasure may command any price in
reason for it.
How it is possible that treasure 80
large as painting could be lost sight
Of entirely is not easily explained,
but this has often happened. One Of
Reynolds paintings, "The Countess OF
Derby" which is considered his best
portrait, has disappeared. Not long
after it WAS painted it disappeared
from the collection of Earl OF Derby
and has never been heard of since,
though it would bring $l50.000 to
the finder. There are also two Van.
dykes and Rembrandt missing, for
which collectors are willing to pay
100000.

Was willing to "Bite." /"

AT the recent annual meeting Of the
voters Of Cape Elizabeth two names
were presented for moderator. Henry
s. Jordan and Clement E. Staples. Re.
publican and Citizen, respectively,
says the Boston Herald. The orator
who nominated Mr.. Staples made a
mighty effort. "Who is Clement e.
Staples 2 he cried. as he waved his
arms like pump handles and strode
back and forth on the platform. A
deep and impressive silence followed.
Again waving his arms, be called in .
voice Of thunder: who il Clement
E. staples2" The silence was more
pronounced and the effect greater.
The audience was visibly impre sed.
Before attempting to dwell upon the
good qualities Of his candidate, the
speaker again proclaimed: II cay,
who is Clement E. Stsples2"
A small man in the rear Of the ball
stood on chair ard broke the silence
by saying: "Wsal. Ill bite. Who
is he?"

Told on a Kisser to His Great Sorrow.

There is great excitement In Phil
lips Andover Academy and about the
town just at present which will last
for many months to come. It all
started with gentle kiss pressed up.
on the pretty lips of Miss Alice Hut.
lev, an attractive waitress in Phillips
Inn, by Travers Brown, an ardent
young student. and it ended in come
fifteen students being expelled from
academy.
John Stewart, proprietor of the inn,
bumped into young Brown aud Miss
Hutley in dark corner of the inn,
exchanging kisses that ranged all the
way from delicate little Puritar-like
pecks to loud smscks. The average
man would have gone away and not
said word.
But not so with J. Milton. He
promptly hurried to the faculty Of
the academy and told all he knew
about Travers and his terrible crime
of kissing one OF the pretty mattresses.
The faculty promptly expelled ths
student the proprietor OF the inn
discharged the girl.
The students, however, looked up
on the affair in an entirely different
light. There was no crime, they ar.
gued, in kissing pretty girl if she
were willing.
The students acted promptly. They
disguised themselves, and, headed by
a small German band, marched to the
inn. The proprietor stood on the
piazza, smiling broadly, sincerely be.
lieving it was a serenade.
One hundred students swarmed
about the man who reported the kiss
ing affair, and in less time than it
takes to tell he was carried, kicking
and struggling, to Rabbits pond and
thrown headfrst into the pond, while
the band played Throw Hin Down
McClosky." Three times did Stew.
ards head appear above the water:
three times he was showed down be-
low until all fight and resistance was
gone. Then he was led ashore, and
his straw hat, filled with mud and
green ooze. was clapped on his head.
Steward was escorted through the
town and then told to 20 back to the
inn and discover more "kissers" at
his peril. Stewart faithfully reported
what had happened to him, and the
faculty summoned over 200 students
to tell what they knew Of the affair.
Fifteen were dismissed and il is prob.
able that more will be.

blue eyes looking as wonderful and as
childish as they did when she landed
in America six months before. She
paused helplessly, and just then Bur-
den saw the name on the suit case.
He looked at the woman g facets
blonde fairness an unusual style in a
Southern town-and the thermometer
seemed to jump several degrees up
ward.
"She looks like-like-an angel,
he muttered. "She will be disappoint-
ed in-me," and he went to her anx-
iously and difidently.
I'm John Burden" he said simply.
"You-you did want me to come ?
Her voice trembled and he saw tears
in her blue eyes.
"Want you-wantyou ?" His tone
gained assurance. Anybody with an
ounce of sense would want you to
come-and to stay" he said, his face
radiant as he took the suit case from
her.
After the dinner with Hayes at the
hotel and the quiet marriage ceremony
in the hotel parlor, they drove the
FIVE miles to Burdens farm and reach
ed there Just at the beginning of the
long summer twilight.
The climbing rose was in full bloom
over the veranda, and a flock of white
geese were winding through the gate
towards the farmyard.
"Do you like it?" he asked, his
voice almost whisper.
ut is so much home" she gasped,
in her halting English; "even the
COWS that in the farmyard stand.
He led her into the house and paus-
ed before a sweet, clean room whose
muslin curtains blew in and out the
open windows.
"This is your room, he said SIM
ply. mime is across the hall, where
1 can hear if you get afraid and call
me-.
His honest, sunburned face was
full of kindness and, although her
comprehension of English was limited,
she caught glimpse of his soul in {.
language that is universal.
"Take off your hat, little woman !;
l hear old Jenny putting supper on
the table" he looked at the pale
gold of her hair, where her hat had
pressed it tightly against her moist
forehead, and he hesitatingly touch
ed it with his hand and freed it from
her temples.
81 hope you'll feel homelike and
will grow to love the farm, and may
be sometimes me-" he added timidly.
81 like it all-and you" she an
swered softly.

Indian Proverbs.

The coward shoots with shut eyes.
No Indian ever sold his daughter
for a name.
Before the paleface came there was
no poison in the Indians corn.
Small things talk loud to the In
dams eye.
When a fox walks lame old rab.
bits jump.
The paleface's arm is longer than
his word.
A squaw's tongue runs faster than
the winds legs.
There is nothing SO eloquent as
rattlesnake's tail.
The Indian scalps his enemy the
paleface skins his friends.
There will be no hungry palefaoes
so long as there is any Indians land
to swallow.
When a man prays one day and
steals six, the Great Spirit thunders
and the evil one laughs.

Among this class the symptoms of
female diseases are early manifest by
weak and aching backs, pain in the

THE VULGAR RICH.

That wealth without the capacity to
enjoy is more of burden than a bless
ing was aptly illustrated the other day
when widow and three daughters
boarded an overland train at Omaha.
They were making a tour of the Unit
ed States and had just come from the
city of Denver from which place they
had ridden in Pullman sleeper. They
furnish 9. fine example of what has
been called the vulgar rich. With
plenty Of money at their command
and apparently every means of en-
joyment. they were yet the most mis-
cradle ard dissatisfied of beings Bur-
dened with wealth, they imagined them
selves in a higher sphere than their
less pretentious neighbors. and feared
to associate with them. In the So
ciety of The wealthy and refined they
were not at home and thus avoided
them. The result was they ostracised
themselves, and so far as outward sap-
pearances showed were making Il mis-
erable ordeal of their journey instead
of extracting pleasure from it. Along
with the habiliments of the bereayed
the widow displayed an amazing
amount of jewelry while the daughters
were adorned IKE oriental queens. One
