TennYaOn,s Cynfcism,

Sir We're de We're was the eldest son
Of Sir Aubrey de We're, the sonneteer
and friend of Wordsworth. His broth
er. Aubrey de We're, was more than
we'll known, a famous poet, and to him
in his youth Walter Savage Lander
addressed the exhortation:
Make thy proud name still prouder for
thy sons.
He had no sons, however, never hav-
ing married Neither had his brothers,
We're and Stephen. Thus the name, as
a family name, disappears.
The De Veres were early friends Of
Tennyson's, and it was from them that
the poet took the name which he made
proverbial and symbolical Of a class
"the caste of We're de We're" Lady de
We're, the only Lady de We're Of fact
then living, was inclined to complain
that her name should be bestowed upon
the black hearted Lady Clara of fiction.
Tennyson wrote dainty verses, but
was not master Of dainty manners. He
growled: why should you care? But
Of course you don't. [ didn't make
YOUR namesake ugly, and didn't make
her stupid. 1 only made her wicked"

NOTED DRESSMAKER IS DEAD.
Paquin, Creator of Fashions for the
World, Expires in Paris.

PARIS, Dec 21.-M. Paquin, the ia
NOUS dressmaker. who since the death
of Worth has fashioned gowns for the
aristocracy of Europe and the wealth
of America. is dead at his home here.
He was known all over the world as a
designer who set the fashions for the
courts of Europe and for Newport and
New York.
Paquin was wrapped up in his profess
sion and never counted lost hours and
days given to the designing of some new
creation by which he could correct
what he considered the imperfections Of
a patrons figure and enable her to ap-
pear as one possessed of an Ideal form. J"
He was rabid opponent Of the prac-
tice of lacing by women. He contended
that the true purpose of the corset was
to make up the want of fullness i'll the
waist or bust Of women, and that when
they took on the wasp" form they were
an abominatlOn.
One of NJ Paquin's chief delights was
to find a patron that other costumers
considered too tall or short, or stout or
slender, to appear to advantage, no mat
ter how expensive her garb. He boasted
of his ability to make beautiful women,
handsomely crowned" out of discouraged
patrons Of his rivals.
NJ. Paquin was Unfortunately vain. He
delighted to be talked of. His diversion
from business cares was his stable of rae
Jug horses.
He was Il chevalier of the Legion of
Honor.

TRAIN GIRLS TO BE WIVES.
London Educational Committee to Try
Interesting Experiment.

LONDON, Dec. 21.-The London Edu-
cational committee is about to undertake
a most interesting domestic experiment
1t will furnish a house in one of tue
poorer districts Of London where girls
will undergo six weeks training with a
teacher. The pupils will take their
meals and sleep in the house, forming a
family of seven, for whom each one will
act as housekeeper and cook. During the
drst two weeks the household will be
conducted as though it had to live on a
wage OF SIS week. During the next
two weeks a wage of SO will be as
sumed, and in the third period the family
will descend to the relative penury of
$40 a week. The experiment will be
only a beginning, and it is believed that
when the system is in full working order
t will impart invaluable training, and
make the girls of the people into excel
lent housewives. The experiment is
promising. and its results will be
watched with interest.

BIGGEST OIL PLANT
STANDARD OIL COMPANY PLAN AN
OTHER BIG PLANT ON
STATEN ISLAND.
TO MEET EUROPEAN TRADE.
Concentration of Refining Business in
New Jersey-World-Wide Distri:
button of Oil and Products
BUILDINGS ARE NOW GOING UP.

NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Having cut
greater part of it away from the old
companies which had for years controlled
the output abroad, the Standard Oil com
pany has begun the erection of mon
ster refinery in New Jersey. The new
plant will be the largest in the world,
one section of it covering almost thou
sand acres. 1t will turn out more oil
products than any of the sixty plants
now owned or controlled by the com
pany.
The big refinery will be built in sec
lions. The first, which will contain stills
for turning out 10000 barrels of refined
ell daily, viii be completed before July
next.
Near Staten Island Sound
section of the plant was broken a few
days ago, and within few weeks 25O0
laborers, bricklayers and iron workers
will be employed. The new plant viii
be erected between Elizabeth and the
shore of the Staten Island sound. IN
time the plant will extend from Eliza
beth, n. j., to Railway. 1t will be the
comIpany's main plant, and its produce
will be shipped directly from the Jersey
oil is used.
Although the Standard Oil company
now has in operation more than 5000
miles of pipe lines, it will be necessary
to construct many thousands of miles
more to bring the crude oil to the new
south, reaching as far as. Indian terri
tory.
Build 100 Tank Boatc.
In addition to the pipe lines, the pla'
will be fed by two railroads. The re
fined oil, paratine, gasoline, and Other
products turned out there will naturally
add to the shipping problem. The Stand
ard Oil company at present charters
hundreds of vessels for carrying freigh
abroad, although the company itself owns
seventy-two monster oil tank steamships
and twenty-five cargo steamships. 4
hundred or more new tank steamships
will be added to the oil fleet, as the cos
of shipping oil by tank is less than one
half the cost of shipping by barrel.
Company Employs 1900 Men.
The company now employs 71,OOU
men, but will be compelled to engage
1900 more to work in the first section Of
the new plant as soon as this is COM
pIeted. For the first section contracts
have been awarded for supplying To-
600 tons of iron patchwork, 10000 tons
Of sand $4,000 tons OF broken stone,
and 100000 brick.
The company also intends to install
new trunk pipe lines, so that branch re-
fineries in every part of the United
States may be supplied directly with
crude OIL
Other plans are under way, it is said
which in time may result in bringing the
center of the oil industry of the world
to New Jersey, where the Standard Oil
company is incorporated. AS a result
of these plans many of the subsidiary
oil corporations controlled by the Stan
dard may be dissolved.

SHAFTS THRONE SHAKES
IF HE YIELDS TO PARLIAMENT
CRISIS WILL BE OVER.
Germany Fears Great Britain and Rus
STA May Be Given an Oppor-
tunity to Interfere.

BERLIN, Dec 21.-The German of
fetal view of the Persian imbroglio,
based upon dispatches received from Te-
heran. is that the situation is still very
precarious but that a decision one way
or the other may be expected in a few
days. The new ministry which repre-
sents partial concessions on the part of
the Shah to the wishes of Parliament,
will be introduced to Parliament in a
day or two. Parliament will then for
mulate it's demands on the Shah, but
the precise nature of these is not known
here.
If the Shah yields to Parliament the
crisis can be regarded as settled; on the
other hand. if he refuses, Parliament,
it is believed here, probably will declare
the dethronement of the sovereign.
1t is understood that the Germans
who have financial interests in Persia
are much concerned over the present
situation; they fear it may lead to Civil
war. and that such a development might
give Great Britain and Russia a chance
to interfere.

VIENNA IN CHEERS
FOR OLD EMPEROR
PUBLIC DELIGHTED WHEN FRANCIS
JOSEPH RIDES THROUGH
STREETS OF CITY.
APPEARS IN GOOD HEALTH
Ruler Steps Briskly from His Carriage
and Shows No Trace of Re-
cent Illness.
READS HIS SPEECH FROM THRONE.

VIENNA. Dec. 21.-Emperor Francis
Joseph, whose life two months ago was
despaired Of. drove from the castle at
Schoenbrunn to the Hofburg in Vienna
this morning, and in the throne room of
the Hofburg received the members of
the Hungarian and Austrian delegations
and read to them the speech from the
throne.
Given Remarkable Ovation.
This is the first time since his serious
illness that the Emperor has left Schoen-
brnnn, and the public seized the oppor-
tunity to show it's delight at the recOv-
cry Of the monarch. The entire route
between the two palaces was decorated
lavishly. The houses along the way
were decked with flags and flowers, and
dense masses of people thronged the
streets. The windows were crowded
with ladies who waved their handker-
chiefs as the sovereign drove by, and
throughout the half hours drive the En-
peror was the recipient of remarkable
ovation.
Shows No Trace of Illness.
He was in an open carriage, and he
showed practically no trace OF his recent
serious illness.
At the Hofburg the Emperor alighted
briskly from his carriage. BurgOmaster
Lueger and the members of the privy
council awaited the Emperor at the en-
trance of the Hofburg. Herr Lueger
welcomed him and congratulated him
upon his recovery on behalf of the city
OF Vienna.
1t had been intended to have the EN-
perors route from Schoenbrunn lined
with school children, but at the last mo-
ment the Emperor prohibited this OIL
account Of wintry weather.
The Emperor read the speech from the
throne in voice firm and clear. His
first words referred to the peaceful de-
velopment of international relations.
Wants Universal Peace.
"1'he smoothing down Of certain points
of difference in the international situa-
ton continues to progress in a gratifying
manner he said THE efforts Of all
powers are being directed to further ap-
peascment and a consolidation for the
general peace by the fostering i'll every
way possible of mutual confidence; they
are adhering to the tried foundations of
our policy Our relations with all tile
powers are very friendly, and we will
continue vigorously to direct our efforts
towards the maintenance of the present
peaceful conditions"
The remainder of the speech was de-
voted to internal affairs.

points respecting him." said the doctor
I'VE shall see that. Keep your MIND
unprecedented, and watch that young man
during the next four or five days" said
l, as opened the door to let him out.
Unfortunately, this chance of clearing
his mind was denied to US. The next
morning, when l called at Flexmore
House, I heard that he had not been seen
since he left, shortly after my departure,
to fetch DR.. Audrey; and in the course
of the day 1 learned that he had gone to
London. This did not surprise me. Hes
gone to see a London solicitor about this
affair."" l thought; land may be bled
pretty freely by my learned friends !"
Betimes on Thursday 1 called again
L
to visit the inmates there every day,
knowing how long and dreary the days
must be for them in the darkened house,
and that the child, at least, looked upon
me as a protecting friend. Miss Dalrym-
pie was bending over her work with
worn and anxious look upon her sweet
face. Little Laure started up with
terrified expression in her eyes, as though
she expected to see Lynn Yeames with
rope in his hand to haul her off TO board
ing school, as l opened the sitting room
door. Both of their poor faces lit up
with pleasure when | said
Its only 1.-THE old lawyer-come to
bother you for some papers"
Laure ran up, threw her arms around
my neck, and kissed me; and, still hug
ging me, she whispered:
you don't forget what you promised?'
No. I whispered back. mo one shall
take you away from Nurse Gertrude"
You are a nice old dear" she said,
giving me another kiss; and then she ran
away laughing, to whisper to Miss Dali
rymple all about her secret-at once a
woman and a child.
I gossiped for the best part Of an hour,
raking up all the news of the village, Tor
there's nothing like trifing chat for peo-
pie in trouble; and then, when Laure
went out of the room, l said:
"Well, my dear, have you had many
visitors since l saw you lastT
"A few acquaintance and DIR. Awdrey
that is all.
Have you seen him or heard anything
about Mr. Yeames?' l asked.
mo; he has not come back from Lon
don. I am anxious about him. | fear
he is ill.,"
It seemed to me that if he were Ill, the
first thing he would do, being selfish
brute, would be to write and tell his
sweetheart of his suffering. The moment
a man of this kind feels not UP TO the
bullying point, he whines for sympathy. l
considered it much more probable that
Lynn had gone to London to spend some
of his fortune in advance and escape from
the lugubrious condition of things at home
whilst his uncle lay dead at Flexmore
House. Of course, kept this belief to
myself; and. promising to drop in again
during the day, left the house, and went
directly to Mrs Yeames' villa.
Ito be continued.)
