THE DOWAGERS.
Titled Widows Go to the Rear In the
Social Procession.

Titled Widows Go to the Rear In the
Social Procession.
Little sympathy is bestowed on IL
tied widows after the first few days Of
their bereavement. Of course when
an earl dies his widow remains a
countess. but with the unwelcome ad.
.dition "dowager," which often is mis-
leading as far as her age is concerned.
Thackeray, although he professed
good breeding, looked on dowager
duchesses as fair targets for sarcasm.
So did Du Maurier, though the only
offense of the poor women was that
they had lost their husbands. It is a
double blow to woman cf title when
her husband dies, Tor if grief leaves
her time for reflection she realizes
that, no matter how young she may
be, she is relegated to the rear N the
social procession. The new duchess or
marchioness or countess steps into the
limelight, and the dowager is lucky to
find a place in the last row OF the
chorus, for the very term implies old
womanhood. and in most cases She
only wastes time If she combats the
impression.
Ordinary widows may have better
chances for matrimony than debu-
tantes, though that's doubtful. Dow
ayers seldom contract new marriages,
for few men have courage to lead
them to the altar. So in all the affairs
Of society they make the best Of the
custom that dictates they shall follow
meekly in the wakes Of their dattered
daughters-in-law.-New York Press.

BURNED FOR CENTURIES.

Curious Stories Of the Wonderful
Lamps Of the Ancients.
When the tomb Of Pals, son Of
Evander, who is mentioned by Virgil.
was disco7 cred about the twelfth cen
tury by q countryman digging near
Rome, it is said that a lamp was still
burning over his head. which must
have been lighted more than 1000
years before.
Baptista Porta in his treatise on nat
ural magic relates that about 1850 4
marble sepulcher of the Roman period
was discoveredEin an island near Ma
pies On opening the room was found
a vial containing burning lamp The
lamp became extinct on breaking the
vial and exposing the lamp to the open
air. 1t was supposed that it had been
concealed before the Christian era. and
those who saw it reported that the
lamp emitted a splendid fame.
In 1850 remarkable lamp was
found near Atestes. Padau, by rus
tic, who unearthed a terra Gotta nm
containing another urn in which was
a lamp placed between two cylindrical
vessels, one Of gold and the other of
silver. Each was full Of a very pure
LIQUID by whose virtue the lamp had
been kept shining upward Of 1,500
years
This curious lamp was not meant to
scare away evil spirits from tomb,
but was an attempt to perpetaate the
profound knowledge Of Maximus Oily
bus, who effected this wonder by his
skill in the chemical art.

One day during Il term Of court at

senior counsel, Major B. z. Dysart, an
elder in the Presbyterian church.

Of describing the appearance OF Dy-

"Of course you may have been excit-

hardly an excuse fer using cuss words.

Does your honor mean to intimate
that swore in your presence while
trying a case?" demanded the major
sternly.

but you just look at that" And he
handed the transcript to Dysart. There,
nesting in the midst Of long argu-
ment over an objection, printed as
plain as type could make il, were the
words:
"It is a damned obscure injury"
It required nearly five minutes for
the major to think out how it happen

INTO the ink bottle and viclously
scratched out the ribald sentence, over
which be wrote:

Euoene Sues Vanty.

Notwithstanding the extraordinary
literary success which he enjoyed
when his works were the vogue, Eu-
gene Sue posed much more as q man
Of fashion than a man Of letters. After
his dinner at the Cafe de Paris he
would gravely stand on the steps
smoking his cigar and listening to the
conversation with an air Of superiority
without attempting to take part in It.
His mind was supposed to be far
away. devising schemes for the social
and moral improvement Of his fellow
creatures. These philanthropic mus
ings did not prevent him from paying
a great deal Of attention-too much
perhaps-to his personal appearance
for even In those days Of beaus. bucks
and dandies. Of Counts d'Orsay and

ugly ditch made just across the road
which we always took when we were
riding around the property. The woods
were 50 thick and low. with plenty OF
thorns, that we could not get along by

There were worse terrors than the
matinee hat for the man who sat be-
hind q lady in the seventeenth cen
tury theater, as recalled by the Lon
don Chronicle. At least, we may sup
pose so from Mr.. Pepys' experience on
Jan. IS. 1861, when he saw The
Lost Lady" for the second time. Nine
days earlier that play had not pleased
him much, partly perhaps because he
was troubled to be seen by four Of
our Office clerks. which sat in the half
crown box and in the Is. 3D. But
on the second occasion the play did
please me better than before, and
here, sitting behind in dark place,
q lady spit backward upon me by a
mistake, not seeing 'ne.' However, it
was all right, for, after seeing her to
be a very pretty lady, I was not trou-

THE UNIVERSE.

Mans Place In This Eternity Of Space
and Matter.
The solar system is but fragment
of the universe. Every star is a sun
with solar system. It is possible that
there may be millions Of planets in
habited by beings higher or lower than
ourselves What we see going on IS
what we call the process Of evolution
from broken fragments to coherent
masses and to inhabited worlds, from
chaos to cosmos, struggle upward OF
the universe from something lower
and disorganized to something higher
and organized.
AS to how life originates on these
planets science is ignorant at present.
It is an entire mystery. would not
have you build too much on that. l
do not think it will always remain a
mystery, nor would have theolo-
gian shaken in his views if science
should discover something about tho
nature and origin Of life. I want you
to realize that this process Of evolu-
ton is not q process which negatives
or excludes the idea Of divine activity.
1t is, venture to say, a revelation to
US Of the manner Of divine activity.
It is the way the Deity works.
The attempt to show that evolution
is unguided, that it is the result of alb
solute change, fails. What is pointed
to is not unguided random change, but
guided change. The other could not
be done in time.
What we have to realize in regard
to our place in the universe is that we
are intelligent. helpful and active parts
Of the cosmic scheme. We are among
the agents of the Creator. One OF the
most helpful ideas is cooperation
helping one another. Cooperation
this in a new and stimulating sense
cooperation with the Divinity himself.

When the first settlers came to Phil

houses ready for them, says Sci in the
Cat Journal, so good many Of the
men dug small caves in the bank Of
the river. They would dig several
feet into the bank, then build walls Of
sod in front of the little caves. They
made the roof by laying branches Of
trees on top, covering these with rush
es from the river and putting pieces
Of sod on the rushes. The chimney
was made Of stones plastered with
clay.
These caves were used only until the
men had time to cut timber and build
the houses they wished
One Of the old families Of Philadel-
phia owns quaint Silver tureen on

bit. In the early days at Philadelphia
Elizabeth Hard was living with her
husband in one Of these dug-out caves
while he was building their house. The
work went very slowly. and Elizabeth
often helped her husband. She brought
the water to make the mortar for the
chimney and even helped at one end
Of the saw.
One day she was very tired, for she
had helped ali the morning. Her nus
band told her to rest awhile and then
think about dinner. Mrs. Hard walked
sadly away. Their food was nearly
gone. Only a few biscuits and a little
cheese were left. Just then she saw
her cat coming toward her with a large
rabbit in its mouth. Mrs. Hard cooked
the rabbit and had nice dinner ready
for Mr.. Hard when he came for his
noon rest So kitty helped. although
she did not know it.
