Sailors, who are said to be the most
superstitious cf and oftehest away
1 from Pofl.hr Sue, are greti at love
toke&s. They wear a charm on a silken
string around their necks; theV tattoo
their manly arms with two hearts trans¬
fixed by 4 single arrow, and marked re¬
spectively “Jack” and “Molly,” and
they believe, or pretend to believe, ill
the magic power of such symbolical
unions to keep their affections true to
tbelr lores against all the allurements
of alien beauty,
Moreover, the keepsake, besides con-
taining as often as possible the hair of
the beloved object, is almost always
made of precious metals or precious
stones. There .is a common though in¬
definite feeling that it ought to be some-
thing rather useless in gold or silver.
It remains remotely true, in fact, to its
amulet origin.
Gold aud silver and precious stones
are of immense antiquity. Something
to hang around your neck on a string;
something to wear on your watch
chain; or, failing these, something in
the way of necklet, bracelet, brooch,
ear-ring—that is the ordinary ideal of
the keepsake.
The ideal, in short, descends front a
time when clothing was scanty, per¬
sonal ornament was a matter of high
importance, barbaric decoration alone
was then known, and goods and chat¬
tels were few and simple. We seldom
think of giving as a keepsake anything
that cannot be worn about the person.
DIDN’T WANT THE BUNDLE.
As Soon ss Site Saw the Contents She
Dropped It.
This afternoon, when business was
heavier at the Terminal station, and
people were crowding in every direc¬
tion to take their respective trains, an
Innocent looking bundle slipped from
beneath the arm of a stylishly dressed
woman and fell to the platform, says
the Philadelphia Bulletin. The bundle
lay directly In the path of the people.
Many daintily gloved hands were ex¬
tended toward the package, but with¬
drawn as the owners recollected them¬
selves. A little knot of men formed
c round tho package, each trying to
make the others think he bad other bus¬
iness than watching the parcel. Final¬
ly a well-kuowu business man of this
city could stand th» suspense no long¬
er. A boy was taken to one side, and
when he left the boy was seen putting
something in his pocket. Ho walked
over and picked up the package, and,
elbowing his way throttgh the crowd,
handed it to the man who had tipped
him a niefcel. The package was quick¬
ly undone, and, resting side by side,
were a large slice of cheese and a half-
pint flask filled with liquor. Slipping
the flask into an inside pocket, the man
was about to walk off, when the same
stylishly dressed woman came up to
him. “I understand you havo a pack¬
age that belong* to me,” she said. The
man excused himself, and went down
into his pocket. The baud was with¬
drawn and extended toward the wom¬
an. She gave one look at the flask,
and with a glanee at the man that might
have killed at forty yards, turned
around and went to her train.
Whimsical Experiment. '•-*«-
Akbar, one ef the first of the Great
Moguls who ruled India, has tieeu nam¬
ed the Asiatic Charlemagne. He was
a statesman and an educator, and
built a palace for the reception of men
who loved learning and sought after
wisdom. The Great Mogul’s passion
for knowledge is said to have been
shown by a whimsical experiment he
once made to determine if it was true,
as he had heard, that Hebrew’ was the
natural language of all who had never
been taught any other tongue.
To test this assertion. Akbar caused
a dozen nursing children to be shut up
in a castle, six leagues from Agra, his
capital city. Each child was reared by
a dumb nurse; the porter also was a
mute, and he was forbidden, upon pain
of death, to open the gates of the eastle.
When the children were twelve years
of age. Akbar ordered them to be
brought before him.
Men learned in Sanscrit, In Arabic,
in Persian and in Hebrew were assem¬
bled at the royal palace to tell what
language the children spoke. Akbar,
seated ou his throne and surrounded
by these linguists, ordered the children
to be brought in. Each child was ad¬
dressed, aud, to the surprise of the as¬
sembly, every one answered by a sign.
Not a child could speak a word. They
had all learned from their nu,rses to
express themselves by gestures!
Silver Weddings In Germany.
A great many silver weddings were
celebrated lu Germany during July.
Immediately after the declaration of
war in 1870 thousand of weddings took
place. The soldiers made up their
minds that the State should provide
for the women of their choice, if death
prevented themselves from doing so.
The authorities assisted by dispensing
with the usual publication of bannjs.
Many men were married in full uni¬
form. ready to inarch, the regiment
halting before the chureh just long
enough to have the necessary ceremony
performed. _

SIKQUIiAB PERSONAL IDIOSYNCRASIES.
Rich women in New York indulge
in singularly few personal indiosya*
erasies in their rooms. Tlieir apart¬
ments are apt to show little except the
notions of the professional decorator.
There is nobody left who is an indi¬
vidual in this field as was the late
Mrs. Kicks-Iiord. Her bedroom was
of a Spartan simplicity that would
have suited the Duke of Wellington.
A small iron bedstead, wicker chairs,
white matting, and eorim window cur¬
tains were its main features, and not
a piece of feminine flummery disturbed
the esthetio atmosphere.—Detroit

SSB HAS made a SUCCESS OF FARMING.
A yonng woman who is making a big
success of farming on a large ana
varied scale was one of the principal
exhibitors in the agricultural sections
at the Atlanta Exposition. She is Miss
Annie Dennis, dr Taibotton, Oa., and
is about twenty-five years old. She
has a fine estate of about a thousand
acres, on which she has a stock farm,
a dairy, an extensive piggery, a vine¬
yard, and canning and preserving es¬
tablishment, She personally directs
the work on the estate, and has made
a notable success in every branch. She
began farming seven years ago, and
since then has taken more than a hun¬
dred prizes at fairs with various pro¬
ducts of her farm. She ascribes her
success to a long course of study in
agricultural problems, and to the utili¬
zation of every proved setuntifle
method in her farming operations.

THE STtiBBN SKIRTS.
Silk pattieoats are sliffsnetl with
many cords stitciied in their ovarlap-
ping frills, and Sometimes a very pli¬
able wire is run ia the facing just
above the narrow pinked raohe whioh
finishes the foot of the nicest skirts.
This is a practical and sensible fash¬
ion, for it gives juat the support need¬
ed for the full-grown skirt, holding it
out so as to he much moro comfort¬
able in walking. The richest bro¬
cades are employed for these handsome
petticoats, all those for evening Wear
are made cf all delicate tints, and
elaborately trimmed with pink ruffles
under flounces of lace. Gariy plaided
taffetas ate made up in inexpensive
petticoats for street wear; and it real¬
ly seems the best use to put them to,
as they are glint only effective for linings,
or where a only of their mixed
colors is disclosed. For waists they
are very plain trying, gingham, and look no better
than a which they so
elosaly resemble.—Deniorest’s Maga¬
zine.
SLECIED THE CHINESE GfHIi.
For the first time in the history of
the University of Michigan, at Ann
Arbor, a foreigner has been elected to
fill a class office. At the class election
of the ’96 medics Miss Mary Stone was
chosen as Vice-President. About ten
years ago Miss Howe, a missionary to
China from the United States, picked
up two little waifs—Mary Stone and
Ida Kahn. At this time the girls were
heathens, but Miss Howe put them in
a missionary school and taught them
to speak and read English, and soon
converted them to the Christian re¬
ligion. Mary proved a brilliant stu¬
dent and after three years’ study m
the mission was able to read and write
English perfectly. Knowing the brill¬
iant mind of her pupil, Miss Howe de¬
termined to bring her to America lor
a college education. Mary Stone and
Ida Kahn, her companion, left Kia-
kiang, China, with three Chinese bpvs
under Miss Howe’s oare. Ou arriviug
in this country the party was allowed
to enter without trouble, so much did
they resemble English people. They
started at once for Ann Arbor, and
Miss Stone and Miss Kahn and two of
Uie boys took the entrance examina¬
tions and all passed with high honors
and are stijl studying at Ann Aifbor in
the university. Miss Stone entered
the medical department and soon
showed herself to be an apt seholah—

Soft crowned hats are the fanov of

The dahlia, mulberry and reddish'
plum shades in velvet aud cloth are
much used for elegant fur-trimmed

Changeable effects in silks, satins,
silk and wool mixtures and in fancy
velvets are still the very correct fash¬
ion, notwithstanding their long limit
of favoritism.

The chinchilla cape, full on the
shoulders, is perhaps the most chic of
all fur wraps, rivaling even those of

more youthful looking.
Very handsome costumes are made
of moss-green corduroy trimmed on
the coat front with rich iridescent pas¬

with narrow bauds of dark mink fur.
Qne of the handsomest hats of the
season is q£ velvet. It has a coronet

velvet loops and clusters of rich velvet

years are hard to be broken. Half a chicken is
enough, alone—wc but even that is a sign that we are
two. I dident feel like saying grace
over such a stingy meal. “Why dident von

is a Eugene Field, though they cau’t make

good school for a boy. He is obliged to learn
literature whether lie wants to or not, and
there is many a one who has made his mark be¬
sides Ben Franklin and Eugene Field.”
“But. what about the ‘quad’?” said I.
“Oh, that is a Latin word and means how
many. We were paid not by the number of

e’s or three i’s to make r.n em."
“Angelina,” said I (when I feel very loving

‘Siegfried’?”
“Jessie ought to go,” said she. “Jessie un¬
derstands fins music and never lias heard an
opera on the stage.”
That settled if. I had heard it hinted
around that my wife would like to go, but
wouident ask me—so I had to ask her. We h ava
been. Yeni, vidi, audi—aud I am satisfied.
Four hours on a hard wood seat will satisfy any
veteran—even if the angels were making music.
It was all German to me. I heard Jenny Lind
sing once and that was music. I understood
that and I was cha nied. It, thrilled me ami
filled me v.ith unutterable rapture and ad I
could do was to weep with einot.ou. Itut this
German business tired me awfully and I slept

and never move. When the music was soft and
sweet I enjoyed it, but I con-dent see anyth'Ag
hardly. Siegfried was mending an old broken
sword anil liked that old time blacksmith shop,
but there was a tall woman in front of me with
a big black ostrich feather in her hat anl she
bobbed it around so I dident even see the anvil
cut in two. It’s an outrage, The lady behind
me h'ad no such obstacle. There are no feathers
on my head. The clink of the hammer and the
screech of the file were good and the music
chimed wi<h both delightfully. Siegfried is a
good blacksmith and ought to follow the trade
in my I’ll opinion. bet I wish they would sing in Eng¬
lish. there were not ten in a hundred
of that audience who understood a word that
was fung. They go there became it is consid¬
ered the thing to do. It is fashionable. Of
course there was some sweet music and so there
is in a chu ch or in the parlor or in a mind rel
show and it don’t drag a’ong for hours. Sieg¬
fried had to kill a dragon and it took lrm a half
an hour. It was a drag on sure enough. I
could have lulled him in a minute with that
magic sword. But the birds did sing most
sweetly aud that lady that was hidden up in
the trees—ah, that was delicious. I liked that.
The drums and horns all hushed for that.
Sometimes when the whole orchestra was in

scared me. I thought something had burstod
or the boiler had collapsed or the air brake had
uncoupled. The suddenness always awaked me
and d once l jumped so my wife noticed it and
ssk wuat was the matter. I told her I had a
slight palpitation and was threat ened with heart
failure, which I am. At times it seemed to ms
the musicians were trying to drown the voice of
ihat woman that Siegfried found a lef p or dead

they couldent do it. I never heard such a voice

and, second, it has restored
