Long Overland Journey.

A strenuous overland journey has
just been completed by Mrs. Sarah
Conner and her four small children,
who, after trip in a dilapidated bug
gy OF 900 miles, have arrived at
Wheeler, S. D., their destination. Mrs.
Conner and her children commenced
their journey at Moose Jaw, Canada,
following the death of her husband,
who left them in destitute condi-
ton. Their nearest relative resided
at Wheeler, in South Dakota. A span
of ponies were hitched to a single
seated top buggy, which contained the
mother and her four children, one a
girl of eleven, boy of nine, a girl OF
seven and baby of eighteen months.
In the old buggy were piled the world
ly possessions of the family. The
journey required six weeks time.
Some days they were unable to travel
more than fifteen miles. The two old
er children, and part of the time
three of them, walked while the moth
er drove. The ponies had only such
grazing as they could find along the
road and were without grain the en-
tire trip. They were nearly exhaust
ed at the end of the journey.

Verlaine's First Book

A letter fished out of the collection
OF an autograph hunter reveals the
occasion on which Verlaine's work
first attracted the attention Of a critic.
1t was written in 1867 by Eugene
Vermersch to the editor of an ephe-
neral review entitled L'Esprit Nou-
veau, and it runs as follow:
my Dear Editor-I owe you every
apology for not responding sooner to
your kind invitation to contribute to
L'Esprit Nouveau, but ] had not an
idea in my head and did not like to
send you any rubbish, as that would
have been impolte and ungrateful.
If your columns are still open to me,
I will ask for space for a review-an
appreciation of the Poemes Saturn
lens by Paul Verlaine, the unknown
work of an unknown poet, which has
fallen into my hands by accident
Will you allow il to pass unobserved
like a star in the daytime or flow
er by night as Monselet puts it? No
you will not, you who style yourself
L'Esprit Nouveau.'
That was Yep,aine's first review,
but few people read it, and It failed
70 make him famous.

LuxurY of Beinu Rich.

When the Emperor Joseph IT, was
In Paris, in the reign of Louis XVI.
he was in the habit of walking about
the city incognito. One morning he
went into an elegant coffee house
and asked for a cup of chocolate.
He was plainly dressed. and the
walters insolently refused it, saying
it was too early. Without making
any reply. he walked out, and went
into little coffee house.
He asked for a cup of chocolate.
and the landlord politely answered
that 1t should be ready in a moment.
While he waited for it, as the coffee
house was empty, he walked up and
down, and was conversing on differ
ent subjects, when the landlords
daughter, a very pretty girl, made
her appearance.
The emperor wished her q good
day, according to the French mode;
and observed to her father that it
was time she should be married.
"Ah!" replied the old man; IF / had
but thousand crowns, | could marry
her TO man who is very fond of her
but, sir-the chocolate is ready"
The emperor called for pen, ink and
paper; the girl ran to fetch them;
and he gave her an order on his
banker for 5000 livres.

Power From Sea Waves.

At a recent meeting of the British
association the question Of economi-
cal production of power from tides
and winds was under discussion, and
it has been taken up widely by scien-
tific journals in Europe. In France
attention has been called to sys-
tenn of utilizing the power of sea
waves to actuate a dynamo which
has been employed for some time
past at the mouth of the River Cir
onde. An airchamber is connected
with a we'll which communicates with
the sea at a depth below the level OF
the lowest tides. BY the advance
and recession OF the waves changes
of pressure are produced in the air
chamber, and q system of valves en-
ables the resulting air currents to be
applied to rotating a kind of turbine
1t is reported that the apparatus
works equally we'll in calm and
stormy weather.-Harper's Weekly.

COMPANY DISHES.

"A pretty way OF serving q salad and
cheese course and one not common Is
this:
Slice nice red tomatoes in even
slices, then place. on each a thin slice
OF American cheese, spread with may
onnaise, and cover with another slice
or tomato. Add heaplng spoonful or
mayonnaise and place half stuffed
olive on this as garnish. Serve with
lettuce and water crackers.
Pineapple Dessert.-Put layer of
buttered bread crumbs In q baking
dish, then cover with layer of finely
cut pineapple; add sugar to taste,
cover with crumbs and repeat until
the dish Is full, having the crumbs on
top Bake until we'll heated through.
Serve with or without cream. Bits of
butter added to the dish improves it.
Clam Cocktail.-Mix together a ia
blespoonful each Of vinegar, Worces-
tershire sauce, and fresh grated horse
radish, two teaspoonfuls Of lemon
juice, half teaspoonful of salt, few
drops of tabasco and two tablespoon
fuls of tomato catsup Chill this sauce
until very cold, then add a dozen
clans and serve in glasses.
Tea Frappe.-Boil together two cups
Of water and cup of sugar for five
minutes. Add a pint of fresh, fairly
strong tea that has been cooled, the
grated rind and juice of three oranges,
the juice of two lemons and a can OF
grated pineapple. Freeze to a mush
garnish with lemon slices and crushed
mint.
A cupful of peach pulp put through
sieve and added to a small freezer
of ice cream makes an elegant com
pany dessert.

NEW FEATURE IN MILLINERY
Summary Of Points About the Styles
That It Will Be Well to Keep
Always in Mind.

To sum up this seasons new mil
linery features, we want to remember
that the head sizes are large; that the
hats set we'll down on the head; that
the crowns are moderately high; that
the tailored hats are small, the dress
hats large; that everywhere there is
irregularity of brim and crown; and
that the smartest hats have but lit
tie trimming and are in combination
effect.
A buckle, for example, covered with
fur will give a smart touch to vel
vet or satin hat, and just think how
little fur is needed. A few scraps of
satin can be shaped into wings and fin
ished with an embroidery stitch, and
thus make new style trimming for
q last years hat. And then, too, the
idea of having the crown and brim of
the hat of contrasting materials is
helpful to the woman who wishes to
remodel the hat she wore last year.

~NERvE," BUT NOT "NERvEs"

It Is one thing to have nerve and
quite another matter to have nerves.
When you possess a nerve-a good.
big nerve. Of course-you will ride or
walk rough shod over everybody and
every object In your path. likewise In
any path that isn't yours, but happens
to catch your fancy; but afflicted
with the plural, nerves, you are at
only to be trod upon. With a nerve
throat and bleed It; with nerves you
are subject to torture from the poor
est or meanest of creatures. With
a nerve you can drive racing cars and
fly aeroplanes; with nerves you are
unable to pass within hearing dis
lance of either monster without i'm
agining II will turn from its course
to run you down. Possessed Of nerves
you are given spells of misery and
weeping possessed of nerve you
laugh triumphantly and make others
do the weeping. Nerves get out of
order and lead to all sorts of physi-
cal and mental distress; but a big
nerve grows by daily use, its happy
owner waxing ever more and more
sleek and prosperous. If you have
too many nerves you are prone to
prostration; IL you have lots of nerve
you may reach the Hottest eleva-
ton among your fellows. Many
man. and woman, too. of mediocre
. talent, has been carried to the pin
nacle of success and fame on the
strength of a single superb nerve;
many another gifted and brilliant,
has been held back by nerves. 1t is
better to be nervy than nervous.
Therefore If you find nerves sprout-
ing, cut them back as the florists do
with the American Beauty rose.
