“Oh, superstition, thy name is Pau- _SineY’ I said fondly. No matter what abeurd ideas she had, she “was the e@weetest girl in the world. “Tomor- mew { will bring the diamond,” I add- ed after awhile.

“It’s in the house," she faltered, look- fmg at me with frightened eyes. “I'll @et it.”

Returning, she placed the red leather fox on the arbor table, and with her face wreathed in tragedy she began to talk.

“I deoked at the rings» in that store before you went in to get it. Thére @as only ove ruby, as you know, and A thonght it beautiful, beautiful! 1 bad told the nan when | went in that | wusn't going .to buy, so he began to

“Why, it's-a diamond!”

I nodded. I could do no more then.

“Is that the ring [ have been carry- ing around or hiding away for two mortal weeks?”

I nodded again, helpless with laugh- ter, and it was not long till Pauline laughed with me, Ther. he | kissed the

leaning against the wall, she walked under it.’ A rusty nail showed entic- ingly in the moonlight, but she did not turn it around. , She came back to me, sat down and regurded me gravely.

“1 still huve an unholy curiosity to know who did buy that ring and what it did to them?” she said mournfully.

“Oh, heart of mine,” I crooned, “can it be that you have lived for a whole summer in this place and have vet to learn that that jewelry man is known hereabout as Ananias Jones, although he was christened Henry?’ He just dotes on talking to pretty girls, and he has quite a genius for story. telling. Viguratively speaking, my beloved, he

sold you a gold brick.” Pauline’ sighed and removed her shoes. She placed the high beeled,

absurd little articles on the table,’ re-' garding them seriously. Then she put them on again, being careful to dress the left foot first. ;

“There! That's the very worst one of them all,” she said in the tone the great man must have used when he had conqnered. his Inst world and there were no more of them.

“There's a worse one!” I cried in so mighty a voice that Pauline jumped. “Today week is [‘riday, the 13th. You wouldn’t dare let it be our. wedding, dAy?” °

I knew it was an unfair advantage, and I was about to take it all back when my blessed girl snuggled herself into my delighted arms.

“T might dare, Harry,” she whisper- ed, “but .wouldn't you as lief it would be a day sooner?”

Trespassing.

Inventive genius seldom achieves success at the first attempt. A half grown boy in. Pennsylvania, who had devoted his leisure bours for mary months to the making of a milking ma- chine of his own devising, at last com- pleted it’ to his satisfaction and re- solved to make a trial of it. Without saying a word to any one he carried his machine down from the attic, where he had wrought patiently day after day to bring it to perfection, and took it out to the barnyard, where old Cherry, the family cow, stood placidly chewing her cud, with ber big, lusty ealf playing round her.

A few minutes later his mother saw him trying to re-enter the house un- seen. He was covered with dirt from head to foot and in a state of demoral- ization generally. In.his hand he was

carrying sometbing that looked like the wreck of a toy battleship. “For mercy’s sake, Jud," she ex-

claimed, “what bave you been doing?”

“I've been trying my milking ma- chine on the ow,” he said.

“Your milking’maching? Good land! Did the cow do all that to you?"

“No,” answered Jud. “Old Cherry would have stood for it all-right. It was the calf that—er—kind o' seemed to object to the machine.”~Youth’s Companion. '

pv The Discovery of Bret. Harte.

A copy of the Overland Monthly had fallen into my hands, and | was ex- ceedingly interested in a sketch, “The Luck of Roaring Camp,” by an autbor whose nume | bad never before beard. I asked Mr. Fields to read it, and he cared more for it even than 1, being much older and wiser, and he very soon dictated a letter to Mr. Harte, begging him to send something to the Atlantic. The reply, which came to due time, I think, net only expressed a willingness to become -a contributor, but spoke of the writer’s probable de- parture from California. I cannot say how long ‘it was before the Harte fam- ily reached Boston and became the guests of Mr. Howells in. Cambridge. 1 only know that it was the time when every man was quoting from ‘The Heathen Chinee” and generally carry- ing the verses in his pocketbook. There was, I thought, a good deal of curlosity felt about the office as to the sort of man the suddenly popular au- thor would prove to be., He was found good looking and exceedingly well dressed, extremely self ; with ‘a gracefully fileudly ghd even affec- donate manner to‘ the new ‘business ind literary acquaintances of his. own ige In thé ‘establishment, with whom ae speedily became inti —Atlantie, |

i ~ Saved Cable ‘Tolls.

A wealthy merchant in Parts’, whe. | ‘Moes dn extensive business with. Japan was, informed that a prominent firm in Yokohama hed failed, but the name of the firm he could not learn, He could have learned thetruth by cabling; but, to save expense, instead he went to a well known ‘banker who ‘had reeciyed the news and requested him to Savent the name of the firm,

“That’sa very, delicate thing to do,” replied the banker; “for the news is not official, and if I gave you the name T tnight incur some responsibility.”

The ‘merchant argued; but in vain, and finally he made this proposition:

“I will give you,”, he said, “a list of ten firms in Yokohama, and I will ask you to look through .it and then tell me, without mentioning any name, wheth- er or not the name of the firm which has failed appears in it: Surely you will do that for me?”

“Yes,” said the banker, “for if I do not mention any name I cannot be held responsible in any way.”

The list was made, The banker looked through it and as he handed it back to the merchant said, “The name of the merchant who has failed is there.”

“Then I’ve lost heavily.” replied the merchant, “for that is the»firm with which I did business,” showing him a name on the list.

' “But how do you know that fs the firm which bas failed?” asked the banker in rece emg ote

“Verpeen > eee he “Of the ten names on thé list’dnly one is genuine—that of the firm with which I did business, All the others are fic- titious.”

STRANGE DISHES.

Lion’s Flesh, Tiger’s Meat and Baked Elephant’s Foot.

Lion’s flesh is said to furnish a very good meal. Tiger meat is not so pala- table, for it is tough and sinewy. “th India nevertheless it is esteemed, be-’

cause there js a superstition that it im- parts to the eater some of the strength and cunning that characterizes the an- imal. ‘This notion is not, of course,’ held. by the. followers of Brahma and Buddha, whose religion forbids the eating of flesh.

There appears to be considerable dif- ference of opinion among authorities on the subject as to the merits of ele- phant’s flesh 4s an artidle of diet.

Sincerity.

ts “lite sincerity is the sure touch- stone of character. The good and val- uable man is he who strives to realize day by day his own sincere concep- tions of true manhood. Thousands are struggling to exhibit what.some one else admires to reach the popular standard, to be or appear to be re- spectable and honorable, but few make It their aim to live thoroughly up to their own individual convictions of what is right and good.

Carlyle well says: “At all turns a man who will-do faithfully needs to believe firmly. If he have to ask at

. every turn the world's suffrage, if he cannot dispense with the world’s suf- frage and make his own suffrage serve, he is a poor eye servant, and the work committed to him will be misdore.”

A Historic Golfer.

The following eutries in the accounts of James Graham, marquis of Mont- rose, when he was a student at the University of St. Andrews are quite in Falstaffian vein:

“Item: for two goffe balls, 10sh.

“Item: my Lord taking ane drink in Jhone Garns before he went out and after he came froin the golfe, 45sh. 4d.

‘Item: to the boy who carried my Lord's clubs to the tield, 3sh.”

With every allowance for change of tariff, the most completely refreshed giants of modern gold dwindle tito abstemiousness beside that “ane drink.” —London Athenaeum.

; Crowded Out by Vain Man.

“I went into the office looking like a fright,” said the woman. “I didn’t have a chance to straighten my hat or pat my buir or anything. 1| had in- tended to primp going up in the ele- vator, but there’ was a man standing before each mirror twirling his mus- tache, and | couldn't even got a peep at myself.”

’ Little William—My father bas charge of over twenty men. ‘Little Jimmy— Hub! That's nothing! My father has charge over your father! Little Wil- liam—Well, my father’ makes more money than your father. He doesn’t own the shop.—Bohemian.

‘A Wife’s Dream.

“Step up, wifey, -you and the chil- dren,” bawled Mr. Good‘ellow, “and have a pair of shoes apiece on me, Have another pair. They won't hurt you any. ”

And then Mrs. Goodfellow awoke.— Pittsburg Post. ,

Picture Frame Reform.

A campaign against the classical gold frame one constantly sees on pictures is being made by an American artist, Charles Field of St. Louis, now in Par- is, He contends that every frame an artist possesses should be especially designed as regards molding and carv- ing to fit a given canvas, so it becomes not only part.of the picture, but also the thing that shows it to best advan- tage. The movement has caused much interest and comnient in American art circles, Already John Martin of New York has taken up the new idea, and two of his pictures will be exhibited in the coming autumn salon. pares: in this way.—Argonaut.

' SMARTEST DESIGNS. FOR. AFTERNOON SUITS ©

| OME of the most interesting developments of the winter’s

fashions are - shown in the

newest’ designs for afternoon suits. - 4

For the last few years there has been a yearning for picturesque ef- fects, either because ofthe lethargy of the creative. talent or because of the romantic revolt against the -practicalirw of the twentieth cen- tury. r .

The fashions of the Louis periods

- and those of the Directory and Em-

pire have been largely drawn upon

for designs, while suggestions have »}

been furnished by the whole range of historical costumes, and the pic- tures of the old masters are utilized a8 fashion plates.

le The French tailored suits, or, as they are ‘frequently called, demi- tailored, of afteynoon,. suits, are very diversified in style, and, thougk many of the latest notions may be rather too revolutionary to appeal to the conservative dresser, they will undoubtedly affect very consid- rend of the modes, and me fications of tRe radical

“Gtready

ideas aie appearing in the more -

practical suits for street wear.

The cutaway lines of the rather Jong. coat skirt are more accentuated {n some model coats than in others, and the sleeves vary, though in all of the latter one finds a clever adap- tation of the kimono idea, ,

Most of these ‘new -todels are shown on the new figure, flat of back, flat of hips. straight of front and slimly long, though many wom- en who are none of these things look altogether charming in these new designs.

Velvet jackets, with the new tight- fitting cloth skirt, are shown among the late ne~alties brought out by Paquin..

The skirt is one of the season’s sensations. It rises to a moderate girdle height, fitting snugly around

sions when a suit of the demi-tai- lored style is a necessity, and the

{ ou still there are many ooca- out in raspberry ine aie with

and back, but is,caught up slightly in front by several little horizontal folds, which prevent the too definite defining of the abdomen curve and -add surp~‘singly to the grace of the skirt. y

There .s absolutely no, flare to the skirt, which is very long all the way around; and the drop skirt is closely

. fitted and of thin, soft satin.

These skirts are drawn in at the - back by two elastics placed about a foot and a half from the bottom. When worn by the right sort of fig- ure, this skirt is as beautiful as it is impractical for any save car- riage and house wear. To walk gracefully in the skirt is an art it- self.

Yet, while these suits” are not

and best of the French creations.

Under no consideration make the

mistake of attempting to carry out

these suits in anything but broad- cloth or velvet, or their, smartness is entirely lost.

Stick to cheviot, serge, or any of the tailored, stuffs, if you want a practical suit, but also remember that they should. be made up in the severely tailored style, if they are tobe at their best.

Hat and Dress Accessories

i hears perennial favorite, the dash- ing Gainsborough hat, to which the fashionable world gives

its fickle allegiance, has again made its appearance. This time the velvet covered

picture hat has been chosen for a large number of handsome feath- er-trimmed models.

As rather from long association, or in accordance with the original lines of the hat so beautifully pic- tured by ‘the great Gainsborough,

- the style seems to be particularly

well adapted’. for

the graceful feather adornments.

Little or no effort has-been made this season to match the hat with the gown.

So long as its trimmings match ~ the accessories of the costume, such as waistcoat, girdle, gloves and ruff, there is nothing more re- quired.

Defying all rules and regulations concerning the eternal fitness of things, .many smartly dressed wo- men are wearing. euth hats with plain frocks.

Many of the large velvet hats are gorgeously trimmed with flowers.

Latest Styles in Lingerie

ASHION continues to accent the slim-waisted, full-bust and slender-hip figure, so the lingerie tendency is toward garments cut so as to eliminate every possible fulness aro the waist and hips. It is for tl on that soft, sheer materials, s' as nainsook, ba- tiste and crystalline are more and more favorably regarded in the bet- ter-priced garments.

For women who are inclined to stoutness the combination garment is a great assistant. in préserving the youthful outlines.

The favorite combination gar- ment is the corset cover and short skir,, then the corset cover and drawers, and then. the corset cover and long skirt.

Flat effects for ornamentation are the most desirable, They consist of embroidery and lace used in me-

- dallions, in beading and in inser-

tion, The isp embroidered floune

‘And as if the flowers were not enough alone, what ribbon is used 88 a garniture is~fushioted<atter the flowers, so that it is quite a diffi- cult matter to know just where one begins and the other ends.

Lingerie bows, composed of. del- icate embroidery and lace, either heavy or fine, generally in butter- fly shape, will be worn with the new linen collars.

These gre a becoming and dainty addition to one’s neckwear and muy be correctly worn with both the lin- gerie and lace’ waist.

Dame Fashion does not accent, but\, rather discourages, mannish eff ts this season.

- However, a number of Windsor and four-in-hand -ties are shown that will be greatly in demand by those’who ape the masculine style.

They are to be worn with the em- broidered linen collar.

A great deal of the style value of these ties depends on their coloring.

It must be moderately light in tone, and in various shades of blue, leather, russet, green, yellow, violet and burgundy. In other words, it must be selected to correspond with

‘the niillinery colors.

Besides the dimity striped hand-

‘kerchiefs having a line of colors

in them, color is appearing in.em- broidery, initial and monogram. It is always a delicate’ color, and

which “pas something between the shawl effect and shoulder straps. was similarly embroidered and trim- med with large buttons worked in wool and braid.

The white Mechlin lace of the lit- tle yoke was embroidered and en- crusted with tiny cloth motifs silver braided.

The sleeves’ were composed of cluny lace dyed gray over: chiffon, with insertions of embroidered

- cloth. On the belt of gray liberty

satin were motifs of embroidered cluny lace. ;

MAGIC GF. MAORI PRIESTS.

_ New Zealand. ‘What inthe past has been terthed itself. now to the

we have yet to acquire. The Maori priest of old, or tohunga, as he was

‘ealled; was muster of many powers

which can now be explained’ by hypnotism, although his methods of pretending to procure messages from the gods were doubtless due to craft. Ventriléquism also was practiced by the (priests, particularly when: com- munication was desired with a de- ceased relative. There remains, how- ever, a mass ‘of evidence provibg that these men possessed powers which can only be explained by processes into which we ure only now begin- ning to have any insight.

Many white men, are familiar with some of the outward forms of the ob- servances of the Maori priest, but of, the inner meaning and origin of their ritual we know nothing. In the teach- ing handed down to those chosen |: among: their direct descendants under circumstances of great secrecy the pupil was put_to se) etal tests in order “y prove his proficiency. “""~* > First, he had to take in his hand 4 hard, smooth ‘and yound ‘stone, and, repeating a karakiA, or incantation, called a hoa, to shatter the stone into fragments, and that only by the men- tal operation of willing, without any physical effort.

And here’s anothér argument which would carry no weight with a jury, yet which with me, personally, is conclu- sive: I know Jack Drysdale.

“I shouldn't,” I said, dale {sn’t guilty who Is?”

“If Drysdale isn’t, there’s only one other person who can be—that’s Tre- maine. As I’m sure Drysdale’s not guilty, I’m correspondingly sure that Tremaine is.” :

“But then,” I objected, “you've just sald that there’s no evideuce against him.”

“] sald apparently there wasn’t.”

“And Delroy says he didn’t leave the house.”

“Delroy must be mistaken—must be,

under arrest charged with murder and robbery. You ‘are. on your way to’ Babylon; Long Island, to look over the ground, have a talk with your client and get the case ready.” ;

- “Sot” I nodded. “Yes, I read of the case in last night’s papers. But Mr. Drysdale has never, I think, been a client of ours. How did he happen to choose us?”

“He didn’t; I chose you. I wanted him to have the best in the market.”

“i nanks,” I said, coloring a little. “But how did the office come to take the case? We're always rather shy of criminal cases, you know.”

“Yes, I know you are. But I chinned your junior a bit.”

“That explains it!’ I said, laughing. “Of course we’ll do our best for him.”

“You'll acquit him,” said Godfrey, with conviction. “I was at Boston yesterday, or I’d have gone down to Babylon at once and taken you with me.”

“Then I shouldn’t have got to say goodby to Cecily.” .

“To whom?”

“To Cecily—Tremaine’s sweetheart, you' know. He shipped her back to Martinique this morning.”

“Oh, did he?” and my companion’s eyes narrowed suddenly. “Why was that?”

I related briefly the incidents of the preceding evening and of the morn-

In other words, we have a motive and the physical possibility of guilt. I may add that I think we sball find he had some reason to injure Drysdale—I’m sure we shall, in fact.”

“But the button—the pistol—Drys- dale’s unexplained absence?”

He listened with intent face.

“I’m not so sure it was hypnosis,” he said, when I had finished. “At least, I'll have. a look at those photo- graphs myself before I accept that theory. In fact, I rather think it’s Tremaine who has hypnotized you,

to be one great objection to your theory that Tremaine kilJed Thompson. If Miss Croydon saw him. do ft, would she consent to associate with him? Wouldn’t Her very knowledge of his crime give her a greater hold on him than he has on her sister?”

He paused tg turn ‘this over, -

“Yes,” he admitted at last; “it would; but a woman might not think of that.”

“A desperate woman would think of everything,” I said, “and if your theery: is right, both she and her sister roust be very desperate.” ;

He nodded without answering, and sat staring -before him, his brows knitted in perplexity {

There was pne conclusive objection I might have urged, had I known of it-. but I was not yet possessed of the story of the house party. If Tremaine was the husband of Mrs, Delroy, how could he propose marriage to. her sin- ter? .That was a rock, as yet unseen by us, which loomed ahead—which we could not avoid—upon which our theory must inevitably be. dashed to pieces.

“But we haven't any evidence against. him, either; not a shied of real, direct, convincing evidence.” ;

“No use at all,” agreed Godfrey hastily. “I’m glad you didn’t tell it. But what on earth possessed you to behave in such a crazy fashion?”

IMITATION HARD WOODS.

How Furniture Manufacturers Meet a | Contingency.

Perhaps no set of men appreciate the seriousness of the timber supply question more than those engaged in the manufacture of furniture. They have realized for some years that a pinch in the hardwood market is sure to come, and they have succeeded in coping with the gituation by the eco nomical use of material by the practice of veneering and the imitation of the highest priced hard woods.

During the last few years the great increase in the price of hard woods has created a strong demand for wood which can be 41sed in imitation. The two woods that are most successfully imitated are mahogany and oak, pa‘: ticularly the quartered oak in the gold- en and darker finishes, Almost with- out exception the manufacturer mar- kets these imitations either as imita- tions or under some registered trade name and does not pretend to deceive his customers.

For imitating mahogany cherry was fornierly used ‘dlmost entirely, byt the diminished supp and -the ingreased price of this wood have led. manufac- turers to seek a substitute which would lend itself more readily to the stain than cherry and at the same time show the grain and hold the gloss. For these reasons birch, espe- elally curly birch, maple, beech and gum are exténsively. used for all parts of furniture. Even in the better grades, of mahogany furniture birch and ma- ple stained to a mahogany finish are often used for posts and frames, while genuine mahogany in the form of veneer is used for panels, tops and rolls.

I» making imitation quartered oak almust any wood can be used, since {n this case the original grain of the wood is, first covered with a filler. and then the quartering is printed on in dark ink by the impression of ac- tual quartered oak rolls of by a trans-' fer from quartered oak prepared by special processes. Birch, maple, pop- lar and plain sawed oak are commonly used for this work. After the wood has been finished and polished the imi- tation appears so real that only an ex- pert can detect the difference. ar

Certain woods used in furniture con- struction are extremely expensive ow- ing to the difficulty of obtaining pieces with a good grain of sufficient size for working. Such, for instance, is Circas- sian walout. This, which comes frum the Ura] .nountains; is largely used in the form of veneers for chair backs, panels and tops in bedroom suits, ta- ble tops, etc., the balance of, the piece

Americag or black .-walnut (natural finish) or of patin walnut, commonly known as red gum. The latter, while it does not often’ show the beautiful grain of the panel, is so near the color of plain Circassian walnnt that only close scrutiny can detect the differ- ‘enge.—New York Post. os ‘ 2]

WHIMS OF PIONEER MINERS.

Many ef the Early Prospectors Setect- ed. the Names’of Wives or Sweet hearts, Which. Stand Now as Reming-, ers of Romances of Bygone Days.

Behind the. names of many ‘of the mining claims and mines of every min- ing district in the west there lies a wealth of romance and history, both~ pathetic and ludicrous. The Black Hills furnish as many and as good ex- amples of the peculiar circumstances under which many claims are named as any locality in the country. ~ .

One of the best known mines in thé southern hills is the Holy Terror. Back ‘in the early. dayg this claim, was lo- cated by an old miner who had work- ed some years without success. The claim was a bard one to work. When the man’ went. home in the evening after locating his clafm his wife asked him what he named it. He smiled and told ber, “Il’or you, my dear,” and her further inquiry drew forth, the fact that be had called it Holy Terror. An-” other- man once named his claim Gen- tle Annie for’ his wife, while still a third perpetuated the memory of his: wife, who was @ noted ¢lubwoman, by. naming his clatm Silent Julia. «>

The hills are dotted with the names

days. Many a young, ambitious man

na sweetheart or wife in the faraway east was-honored in the naming of a claim that its owner hoped would prove a bonanza. Some few made good. Wit- ness the Annie Fraction and the Josie, both of which were named for the eastern wives of their owners. They are in the Bald mountain district and have produced thousands of dollars for the locators. .. ;

In the Galena district there is a small abandoned claim known as the Widow, with which there goes a story. Years ago a youth named Hanley ap peared from somewhere with a few thousand and with zeal commenced to sink his money in a hole-in the ground in ‘the hope of a vast fortune. Back in the old home alittle widow waited in vain for the golden wealth he said was sure to come and the wedding day that would celebrate it. It took but a short time for the youth’s small savings to dwindle away with his in- experiénce, and, chagrined’ and» dis- heartened, .he put a bullet through his brain on the site of his blasted hopes. |

One prospector who. worked diligent- ly on a claim which was staked by an outsider and had difficulty im even get- ting his living expenses secured his re- venge by naming his claim Old Per- simmon. ~ -

Men of patriotic turn of mind have chosen names of those famous in his- tory. as Washington, Lincoln, etc. Each of the presidents has been re-- membered, famous generals, all of the - states, seafaring heroes and heroes of the Philippines, as Dewey and Fun- ston. Indian names by the score are found, as Hiawatha, Minnekabta and Nanvoma. Those of sporting proclivi- ties chose race horses, as Nancy Hanks, Salvator, Maud 8.,-Red Wilkes, Joe Patchen. Favorite authors have been remembered, as Longfellow, Burns and Dickens. One student named his group Miltiades, Mark Anthony, Attila and Cleopatra.. ;

One man of a pessimistic vein chose What's Left and Some Left. The aver- age business man in naming claims will choose a.simple name and use a series of numbers, as, for instance, Thomas No, 1, Thomas No. 2, etc. One man favored his wife by calling his claim Red Headed Woman. Two ad- joining claims are known as On Time and Late.

An odd case was known in the name of the Hoodlebug claim, which was lo- cated by a German and an Irishman and intended by the former to be called Heidelberg. When the Irishman reach- ed town to record the location he had forgotten his partner’s selection of a name and said it was something like Hoodlebug. which, for convenience, was the name recorded. ‘

The Prodigal Son lived up to its name by bankrupting its locator, who returned to Iowa at the behest of the father who had put up the funds for the venture. Among the names that

doubtless conceal stories never,.known ‘are Old Whiskers, She Devil, Crack Brain and Crank. Some of the gulches have names that-cefer to incidents.

The Work of the Forestry Branch in regard to the free, distribution of trees to farm-owners in the prairie provinces is so Well known and its benefits so generdlly recognized, that pny lengthy description’ of it seems needless. ie ‘ The ane was initiated by Mr. E. Stewart, soon after his appoint- ment to the office of Superintendent of, Forestry,, and in 1901 the distri- bution was begun. That. year 44 set- tlers were supplied with trees, number of*trees sent out being fifty- eight thousand eight hundred (58,800).

Over Twenty Thousand Persons W: Married by One Ceremony. i bs

The biggest wedding ever known to] history was when Alexander the Great |. ~

Twenty thou- }, sand two bundred and two. persons were made husbands and wives. in one teremony. ‘ ’ The facts are these: After conquer in Darius, Alexander deter- minéd.to wed Statiro, daughter of the conquered king, and issued a decree that oa that occasiof 100°0f, his chief officers should marry 100 women from the noblest Persian qnd Medean fam- lies. He further stipulated that 10,000 of his Greek soldiers should take to wife 10,000 Asiatic women. | ;

For this purpose a vast pavilion was_ erected, the pillars being sixty feet high. One hundred gorgeous cham- bers adjoined this for the 100 noble bridegrooms, while for the 10,000 sol-- diers an outer court was inclosed. Out- side of this tables were spread for the multitude. : :

Each pair--had seats and ranged themselves in a semicircle round the royal throne. As it would have taken Several weeks for the few priests ta have married this vast number of cou- ples had the ceremony been performed in the ordinary way, Alexander inveat- ed a simple, way out of the difficulty. He gave his hand to Statiro and kissed her, and all the remaining bridegrooms did the same to the- women beside them, and thus ended the ceremony that united the greatest number of people at one time ever known.

Then occurred a five days’ festival which for grandeur and magnificence never has since been equaled. -

The Way to Show Approval That the Animal Will Appreciate. : Caress: plays no small part in de veloping the best in any horse; but this is never to be by word of mouth. You may as well curse as bless for all your horse knows or cares. The caress of the hand addressed to the part. with which the animal has just performed some feat is always appreciated—the expression shows that—and one loves to see a good man as.he lands safe over a big place just reach back and give the clever horse a.loving pat or two on that swelling muscular | loir which has been the chief agent .in negotiating the obstruction, : Do not pat neck or shoulder or any part not actively engaged in the under- tuking. Caress may do no good, but |: it is pleasant to believe that it does, and we are quite positive that the voice simply diverts attention. The for- mer mode of address is at least worthy of trial if only as a mark of apprecia- tion between two gentlemen. The threatening tones appear sometimes serviceable, but this is so only when horses have been abused and associate ‘punishment with the stern voice. The
