RECLUSE 80 YEARS
In FAIRY PALACE.
Mime. De Prsvi5ny Dead Ate,
Her Long Life of Mourning For
Her Husband.

Nine. De Previgny is dead after
having lived fifty years in her fairy
palace in the Boulevard Poissonniere
without ever looking out upon the
street or leaving the house. writes
the Paris correspondent of the New
York American. Her last will and
testament provides that the palace
and park be turned into home for
the aged. For the administration of
the home she left a capital of 10, O00,-
600 francs (s2,000,000).
After the funeral of the eccentric
old lady the relatives hired a number
OF mechanics to open the windows of
the house and the gates OF the palace
and gardens. For fifty long years the
shutters on the boulevard side of the
great mansion had been nailed down,
and communication with the outer
world was had only by small door
in the wall which surrounded the
palace on all sides.
When Nine. De Prevignv, now de-
ceased. entered the palace for the
first time as its chatelaine, she was
just turning twenty and bride. At
the wedding breakfast, scarcely an
hour after the wedding ceremony.
her young husband fell from his
chair, dead. The bride, thus sudden
ly made widow, dismissed her rela-
tives and other guests. and, calling
her servants together, asked which of
them were willing to remain under
the following conditions:
The mansion to be closed up tight;
the horses to be disposed of. and 10
direct communication with the outer
world was to be had under any cir
cumstances.
Twelve servants accepted the con-
ditions. OF them five are still alive.
having shared their mistress incar-
ceration to the last. During the fifty
years Of their residence in the closed
mansion they never saw newspaper,
never talked to an outsider. They
never heard of the downfall of Napo-
leon, of Bismarck at Versailles, of
the Commune, of the Third Republic,
Oh the invention OF the telephone, bi-
cycle, automobile orthe electric light.
The servants were content to vege-
tate, hoping for their final reward in
the shape of capital of half MILL
ion francs which the rich recluse
promised to all who remained with
her.
During these fifty years Nine. De
Previgny ordered annually of one of
the big man milliners twelve white
silk gowns, with undergarments and
slippers to match, for she chose to be
always attired as on the day of her
bridehood and widowhood. On the
first of every month she donned a
new bridal robe. OF this years sup
ply five were left, and in one of them
Nine. De Previgny was buried.

WHAT SAVED MISSIONARIES.

The introduction of Christianity
into heather countries has been more
Or less closely connected with trade
and the arts of civilization. The gov
eminent has often been keenly alive
20 the advantage of science but hos
tile to religious teaching. Such was
he case in Madagascar fifty years
ago, as is told in the pages of Rev.
W. E. Cousins book, Madagascar
If To-day"
Queen Ranavalona was beginning
to feel uneasy about the growing in
duence of foreign ideas, and wished
% get rid of the missionaries. The
missionaries were gathered together
to meet the queens messengers, and
we're told that they had been a long
lime in the country and had taught
much, but that it was now time for
them to think of returning to their
native land.
The missionaries, alarmed at this
message, answered that they had only
begun to teach some of the elements
OF knowledge, and that much re.
manned to be impaired. They men.
toned sundry branches of education
among which were the Greek and He.
brew languages, which had already
been partially taught to some.
The messengers returned to the
queen, and soon came back with this
answer:
The queen does not care much
for Greek and Hebrew. Can yor
teach something more useful? Can
you, for example, teach how to make
soap?"
This was an awkward question tc
address to theologians, but after Q
moments pause Mr.. Griffiths turned
to Mr.. Cameron and asked him
whether he could answer it.
Give me week." said Mr.. Cam.
sron, and the week was given. Al
Its close the queens messengers AGAR
met the missionaries, and Mr.. Cam
sron was able to present to them Q
bar of tolerably good white soar
made entirely from materials found
In the country. This. was an emf.
nently satisfactory answer, and the
manufacture of soap was forthwith
introduced, and is still continued to
the present day, although no one
would now venture to call the soap
white"
AS result of making this bar of
soap the mission gained a respite of
about five years, during which time
me queen still tolerated the presence
and teaching of the missionaries for
the sake of the material advantages
derived from the work of the arti-
sans; and it was during these years
mat the first churches were formed,
ana the Christian religion oegan TO
take deep root among the people.

WHAT The TRADE MARK MEAnS
TO The BUYER.

Few people realize the Importance
OF the words Trade Mark" stamped
on the goods they buy. II they did
1t would save them many a dollar
spent Tor worthless goods and put a
lot of INSCRIPTIONS manufacturers
out Of business.
When manufacturer adopts q
trade mark he assumes the entire re-
sponsioility for the merit of his pro-
duct. He takes his business reputa-
ton in his hands-out in the lime
lisAt-''on the square with the buy
er OF his goods. with the dealer, and
with himself.
Inc other manufacturer-the one
who holds out inducements, offer
Ing TO brand all goods purchased with
each local dealers sidesteps
responsibility. and when these inie-
rior goods come hack" It's the local
dealer that must pay the penalty.
A good example of the kind of pro-
lection afforded the public by trade
mark is that offered in connection
with National Lead Company's ad-
vertising of pure White Lead as the
best paint material
That the Dutch Boy Painter trade
mark Is an absolute guaranty OF pur-
lily in White Lead is proved to the
most sSeptical by the offer National
Lead Company make to send free to
any address blow-pipe and instruc-
tons how to test the white lead for
themselves. The testing outfit is be-
ing sent cut from the New York
office OF the company, Woodbridge
Building.

WaShinston'S New Station
By SYLVESTER BAXTER.

One of the finest instances of re-
cent railway progress in the apprecia-
ton of the traffic promoting value of
beauty is furnished by the history of
the movement for the establishment
of the national capital The chief
feature of the plans, the magnificent
mall, would have been impossible had
the railway line which until lately
has had it's station on Pennsylvania
avenue continued to occupy that loca-
ton. The enlightened and public
spirited president of the company,
however, the late A. ]. Cassatt, de-
clared himself heartily in agreement
with the project. He looked at the
question from the point of view of
an American citizen, approaching that
If Congress intended to make of the
mall what the founders of Washing
ton intended it to be, no railway
should be allowed to cross it. His
consent to a new location was also
justified from strictly railway point
of view. With the carrying out of
these plans, Washington will be made
the most beautiful capital city in the
world, and will correspondence at
tract increased travel thither, greatly
to the profit of the railways. In
architecture and in site the new sta
ton is one of the finest everserected,
even surprising the splendid ter
minals that characterize the large
cities in Germany. 1t stands on Mas.
sachusetts avenue, facing the Capitol,
and yet not too near it. Fronting
upon semi-circular plaza 600 feet
wide, the building is nearly fifty feet
wider than the Capitol. 1t is con-
structed of white marble, with
facade of classical style. The plaza
before it is fine feature in itself,
and provides place where bodies of
troops or large organizations can be
formed for Inauguration ceremonies
or on other occasions. The railway
station thus forms the great vestibule
OF Washington, a fitting introduction
to its attractions.
The monumental treatment of rail.
way terminals to express their func-
lions as the modern gateways of a
great city has received a remarkable
impetus from the example set at
Washington. Direct consequences are
the two magnificent stations now I'M
der construction in New York, the
Union station in Cleveland and the
beautiful Atlanta terminal built in
the style of the Spanish renaissance.

A CHILD OF THE UNITED STATES.
General Batcheller's Story of His
Daughters Meeting King Edward.


Daughters Meeting King Edward.
General George Sherman Batchel-
Ter, who died in Paris a couple of
weeks ago, was fond of telling a
pretty story of his first term of SER
vice in Egypt as Judge Of the Interna-
tional Court at Cairo. During that
period King Edward, then Albert Ed
ward, Prince of Wales, made visit
to the Khediye's realm and a great
official reception was given to him at
Alexandria. OF course General Batch
eller was one of the guests, and as
it was an open air event he took his
daughter with him, who was a small
person, five or six years old.
Now the young lady had heard
good deal about the Prince and she
had plans of her own in regard to
him. So it happened that when the
proceedings We're at their height Gen.
eral Batcheller missed her from his
side. While he was looking for her
she was edging her way through the
crowd of English and Egyptian Off
GERS, diplomats and other high func-
tionaries until she reached the
Princes side, where she stood for
some time, as her father learned later
on, watching him intently.
At last she seemed to be quite sure
Of his good nature, for she reached
out her hand and gently stroked his
left hand as it rested on the handle
of his sword. The Prince turned
around with an astonished express
sion, but when he saw the pretty
child's face smiling up at him he
smiled amiably himself, stopped and
shook hands with her and asked who
she was. She answered.
I'm Miss Kate Batcheller, of the
United States"
The Prince was greatly amused,
and when they told him who her ia
Their was, he expressed a wish to
meet the General, and complimented
him on his "resolutely American little
girl, as he put it.-New York Sun.

Stale OF Maryland
HELP THE BUSY BEE.

College Park (SpeciaD - In the
course of the investigation of the
bee industry of Maryland, which was
inaugurated this season by the State
entomologist in conjunction with the
division of agriculture, United States
Department of Agriculture, it is
found that large number of bee
keepers are DESTROYS OF forming an
association which will enable them
to meet together and discuss the best
means of handling bees and various
other subjects incident to a success
full conduct of an apiary. There
are a large number of bee keepers
in Maryland. The data collected in
this investigation has not as yet been
compiled, but it is known that honey
is produced in Maryland by the
thousands of pounds.
Professor Symons, the State ento-
mologist, in speaking of the investi-
cation, said: Many reports have
been made showing that foul brood,
the dreaded disease of the apiary,
is attacking the young bees in diff
ferent parts of the State. The reason
for taking up this investigation was,
first, to learn the extent of the in
dustry in the State; second, to learn
the amount of damage being done
by foul brood, moth or other pests
Of the apiary; and, third, to dissent
nate information as to the proper
handling of bees and to urge the de-
STABILITY of having bees on every
farm in the State.
There is much money to be made
out of well-conducted apiary, as
is shown by the many well-to-do
Gee keepers, who have no other bust
ness. But bees are an excellent side
issue for anyone who lives in the
country. They require very little
attention, and will usually give a
generous return"

birth was married with great cere.
mony to betel fruit, which was then
cast into sacred stream. AS the
fate of the fruit was uncertain the

husband a wife had only to place a

THE MOST POWERFUL ORGAN IN THE WORLD


There has just been erected in the
Auditorium at Ocean Grove, N. j.,
new organ which is as decided a de-
parture from the accepted canons of
organ building as Cristoforis piano.
forte was from heancient ciavichord.
The instrument was designed by Rob-
ert Hope-Jones, Member of the In
stitute Of Electrical Engineers, and
of the Royal College of Organists,
England, and built by the Hope
Jones Organ Company. 1t is the re-
suit of twenty years careful thought
and experiment
The Auditorium in Ocean Grove
willseat 900 people In building an
organ for a hall of this size it has
hitherto been the custom to divide it
into five portions, known respectively
as the great, swell, choir, solo and
pedal organ, each with its quota of
open and stopped diapasons, gambas,
flutes, reeds, etc. For the sake of
gaining increased power, these were
again duplicated, there being usually
four open diapasons in the great Or
gan alone. All this in the Ocean
Grove organ is swept away, and the
pipes are grouped according to their
tone quality as diapasons, flutes.
strings and reeds, each division in a
separate swell box, made of brick and
cement and closed at the top by lam
mated lead shutters. A stop entirely
new to this country called the dia-
phone-invented by Mr.. Hope-Jones
occupies fifth box, open at the
top without shutters. The largest
pipe is thirty-two feet long, of invert-
ed pyramid shape and four feet in
diameter at the top end. The tone is
produced by what is called a resona-
tor and vibrating valve, which yields
a majestic volume of firm, horny, di-
apason tone, providing a glorious
pedal base. 1t is also used on the
manuals for solo purposes.
And the front of the organ is
brick wall
This, however, is relieved and or
namented by three towers of dummy
pipes. The keyboards are situated
about ten feet in front of the organ,
the player sitting facing the audience
with his back to the instrument.
There are four manuals, of sixty-one
notes each, and pedal board of the
unusual compass of thirty-two notes.
Instead of the usual draw-stops the
tone is controlled by means of stop
keys (originally invented by Mr..
Hope-Jones and copied extensively by
other builders) which are arranged
in an inclined semi-circle around the
manuals. There are no bellows, the
wind being supplied by electrically
driven fans and compressors, which
deliver the wind at pressures of ten,
