A NEWPORT IDYL. The ballroom at the Casino was aglow with light and pulsing with mu sic. The ball was at its height a mo ment before supper. Standing near a door was a young man whose features were drawn and white, and whose set lips made a pic ture sadly out of place in that gay throng. His dark eyes followed a slim, graceful girl, with a crown of golden hair and tender, violet eyes, whose dark, long lashes lent them a pathetic look Just then. They seemed to be seeking for some one, but whoever they sought was uot found until the dancers had twice made i the tour of the room. Then the two pairs of eyes met for a second. Thoae of the girl had a wistful, questioning look; those of the man an expression of stern relinquishment. The music ceased Just then, and in the little ensuing flutter they lost sight of each other in the crowd, The man, with a sigh so deep as to be almost a groan, turned away, and, scarcely knowlug how he reached there, found himself seated in an easy chair on the wide porch. He gave himself up to bitter reflections. “I must be crazy to come here to night. I might in time have learned to forget her, but to see her again, so sweet and so far off. I could not ask her to marry me now on 'little or noth ing a year.’ She has been brought up to wealth and luxury. It is part and parcel of her dally life, and I would f be the most brutal of brutes to ask her *' to share my poverty. Poor little Nel lie! She didn't look any too happy, either. Well, Jim, if you are not a coward you will start now and go— eo far away that she will never hear | of you again.” Just at this Btage of “Jim’s” reflec tions several persons came along, and in their gay conversation Jim had no part. He half rose to go, when he heard his own name mentioned. In spite of the old proverb aliout listen ers, he remained in his chair, which was in deep shadow. “Poor Jim Alden! Did you see h.m? He stood by the door, looking like the ghost at the feast. What a pity that he went on Wall street! He might have known better. He seemed to oe particularly cut up when he saw Miss Burton dancing away and never even looking at him." “I hear that Miss Burton's engage ment to Lloyd Appleby Is announced.” ”WThat, that old man! Well, he's rolling In wealth.” “She did not need to marry money.” "The ways of women are past finding out.” The figure in the dark corner glided away swiftly. He had borne all he NELLIE ADVANCED SLOWLY. could. He strode on down toward the Point, scarcely knowing where he wa3 going, untfl with a sudden sense of a new pain he found that he was stand ing by the rorks where he had sat only two days before with Nellie. Then the hot sun blazed down and the heat pulsated from the sand and sea below, and the rocks above, and then, too, there was not the knowl edge that he had lost every dollar he had in the world. The long line of silver light laid across the water suddenly wavered and grew blurred and dim. Hts eyes filled and a sob was wrung from his aching heart. He remembered the dimpled fingers that had clasped the parasol, the odor of the flowers at her breaat. and the clinging against hts cheek of a few atranda of golden hair tossed there by tne wanton wind. He stood there, a black outline against the moonlit water beyond. Hack at the Casino another little drama had been enacted. Nellie had teen more than her trained feature* had ahown. and ahe knew that unlens ahe acted promptly ahe would have looked her laat upon Jim Suddenly Jim waa more to her than all the world.

He doesn't know it yet, and, Elinor, we can all be married together. Eh?" "Oh—Lloyd!" "We've waited long enough, dear, I think." Nellie flew like a white angel down to the Point, her slippered feet scarce ly touching the ground. Yes, there was Jim. Was he about to commit su icide, as he stood there so rigidly still? Nellie caught her breath and then ad vanced slowly, stilling her throbbing heart by a miracle of power—a power such as is only given to womankind. "It’s a lovely evening, Mr. Alden, Isn't it?” she said, quietly. "Nellie, little Nellie!" said Jim. in such a transport that it is lucky he couldn't see the sudden color leap to Nellie’s cheeks. "I beg pardon. Miss Burton. I forgot for a moment." "There la nothing to forgive." "Ah! Where is your aunt—and Mr. Appleby?" asked Jim, stupidly. “I left them on the porch, setting the date of their wedding day.”—Boston Globe. ■ WOMEN OF THE PHILIPPINES. Their liecleemlnn Feature le Tlielr rereonul Cleunllnee*. The aristocratic Philippine matron and her daughters indulge in no greater bodily exercise, if they can help It, than that required for driving or shopping. Hut the peasant woman shares her husband’s work, whatever it may be, laboring at the plow behind an ungainly carabao (water-buffalo) In the paddy-field, or helping to pole a huge lorcha, or cocoanut raft, up or down the river, besides attending to her domestic cares. And I take pleas ure in saying that, whatever Its pro prietor’s rank or station, the native Philippine nipa hut Is invariably a marvel of neatness and cleanliness as to its interior; far superior in this re spect to the average dwelling-house, be it that of a merchant's clerk or that of the governor-general. So far as the latter are concerned, a decent servant girl, such as are employed in America and England, would not be content to remain in one two days, Hundreds of girls are employed in the great cigar factories, and others in the convents labor to weave the far-famed pina lace of the Philippines, several at a time squatting on the floor around a single frame, picking and manipulating with deft flngerB the infinitesimally delicate fibers. Sometimes they work for months to complete a single mantilla or handkerchief. These nativp women are rarely employed by the European .residents as domestic servants, except in the capacity of lady's maid or cnn dren’s nurse, and even these posii.ons are often occupied by boys. They are very unreliable, and the utter absence of the sense of gratitude, so character istic of the entire Philippine race, ren ders it an almost hopeless and very ex asperating task to attempt to train them as servants. Their only redeem ing feature is their sense of absolute personal cleanliness, but in spite of this many European women prefer to go to the expense and trouble of im porting a Chinese ama from Hong Kong or Canton rather than to intrust her children to the care of a native girl; although when in her own ca pacity as a mother, the Filiplna. so far as observation goes, leaves nothing to be desired.—Woman's Home Compan ion. COLLEGE WOMAN IN HER HOME The College Recedes to Ita Proper Place the Academy of Life. “Another means by which a woman’s success and happiness are secured at home is In making herself felt as the mistress of the household,’’ writes Katharine Rolch In the ladles’ Home Journal. “She must be the one to ar range hours of work, and not the serv ants. She must be the one to regulate the habits of the children, and not they themselves. It Is for her to set the standard of the home life. Her posi tion requires firmness and every mem ber of the family should recognize and yield to her authority in her own do main. I<et her assume with courage and dignity the authority which be longs to her, so that every one shall feel she Is equal to It, while at the same time she welcomes counsel and suggestion from others. There are women who are too Ignorant or indif ferent to guide their homes successful ly. and women too weak to meet the responsibility, women who are In ter ror of their servants, or slaves to the whims of children or husbands. It is not so that nappy homes are made. Just as a man directs the work of hts subordinates and keeps the control of all his business In his own bands, so the woman who has a home to guide must t>e ready to assume and control the affairs of her household. Observa tion and ezperlence go to show that as the years bring added responsibility, and also added comforts to the woman at home, she finds her restlessness growing lea# and her satisfaction grow ing deeper. The college recede* to Its proper place as the academy of life, sad the wife and mother realise# that heart and mtad are filled to the utmoel Her great ansiety heroines rather to use all tbs opportunities open to her than to wish for other* she finds her- j self absorbed In hor worh without the feeling that she has been thwarted la her moot sertoue amblttoas.'* TWe ItfMMM.

THE FUTURE OF SAMOA. -...— Effect of Policy to lie Adopted by the Three Powers. The questions now come up. says the Independent: Will the three govern ments interested be able to work in harmony and will the general effect be educative on the people, tending to ward the development if the power of self-government? As to the former, much will depend on the ultimate pur pose of the governments. If che Islands are to he exploited for the prime advantage of Germany, England and the United States, then we can scarcely expect anything else than a renewal of the criminations and re criminations of the past years and harmony may as well be thrown «.o the winds. If, on the other hand, it is made evident that in the conduct of the government of the islands the first thought is what will be best for them, even if it Involves some sacrifice of other interests, then there is no rea son why there should not be a happy und prosperous future for the commu nity. Upon the same thing depends the answer to the second question. That the Samoan can rise to self-gov ernment few, If any, will deny. Whether he will attain to It, however, is a very different question. If he is made to feel that he is simply an agent lo further German-English-American trade interests, his keenness may be developed, but not his character. That will only come by recogniztng his man hood, trusting while at the same time guiding hts judgment; stirring his am bition by opening to nim new oppor tunities. AT HYMEN S ALTER. Wedding rings are supposed to be always the same, but still the fashion of them haB altered lately among smart people. The newest brides are wearing plain gold circlets which are about two-thirds narrower than those formerly worn. Jewelers are also showing a new ring. When worn it is exactly like any conventional wedding ring. In reality it consists of two separate gold bands, each made in a spiral. These fit so closely together as to form a perfect ring without visi ble Joint. This marriage ring is sym bolical of the Joining of two into one. Seventeen years ago a bequest was made to the city of London by a benev olent Italian gentleman of $4,000 to form a fund to give a marriage portion of $60 each to three poor girls every year. Unfortunately, the sum was quite inadequate, and up till now the wishes of the testator have not been carried out. However, the trustees have allowed the money to accumulate and in two years’ time the capital will be sufficient for three girls to be en riched according to the desire of the Italian benefactor. The much-prized wedding raiment of certain American brides has been treated to various discouragements. One bride lost hers in a fire at New port and another had hers ruined by leakage in the hold of a ship en route to Europe. Hence a new fashion has arisen of having a specdal box for pre serving a relic of the wedding cake, covered with a piece of the same stuff as the wedding garment. It may be square, round, or heart-shaped, with an initial or crest on the outside. Some times, besides the bridal cake cut on the table, there is a smaller one, to be retained as a souvenir, bearing the names of the bride and bridegroom in silver frosting, with those of the bridesmaids and best man and the ughers. On the round box, in the cen ter of the lid, a water-colored portrait of the bride Is introduced, and these boxes fasten with a silver clasp, formed of the united initials of the happy pair. There is also a new fashion in the boxes employed for sending wedding cake to friends—some are white, some ivory and some are pearl and white, bearing either a silver or pearl mono gram or pretty little rupids or hearts on the covers. Occasionally the hand writing of the bride is represented by her Christian name written across the top. Sometimes every box is hand painted and these are intended to be kept as a memento of the event. Where They Hang Oat. New Orleans Tlmes-Democrat: “I was traveling through a thinly settled district up the country some time ago." said a drummer, who can't tell a lie when he sees one, "and had occasion to stop at a small town off the line of the road.

Mice Worth Three Cents K.trh—Trlni to (economise and S. r. A. tint After Illiu—Was Doing a Hushing Bust ness. At last rats and mice have an Ameri can market value. A man in New Jer sey Is prepared to pay five cents for | every healthy rat delivered, and he quotes mice at three cents each. Je rome Shephard, an old sea cuptaln, is bulling the rat and mouse market, and ! is anxious to buy 5,000 rodents. Cap tain Shephard already has a supply of rats and mice, but owing to the atti tude assumed by the New Jersey So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals he has been forced to adver tise for rats and mice so that his stock may not become depleted. It so hap pens that Captain Shephard is the pro prietor of a cat farm near Caldwell, N. J„ and rats and mice are necessary to bis business. Four years ugo the captain, who looks every inch the typical "seadog," gave up the sea and determined to devote the rest of his life to raising cats. While on his cruises Captain Shephard secured a valuable collection of high bred cats. For four years he has been raising cats, and is said to have made a small fortune from his farm. Angoras, Mal tese, Siamese, Indian, Russian, Japan ese and, in fact, every breed of cats known to the fancier can be found on the Shephard farm. Each breed Is kept In a separate corral, and pedigrees are preserved carefully of each new arrival. The cats are first domestt cated and made familiar with people, especially children, by constant pet ting, and are next trained ns ratters and mousers. It is owing to this lat ter fact, and to Captain Shepbard’8 | original methods of truining his cats that the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals has threatened his Industry with extinction. Captain i Shephard has probably 200 cats always on the farm, and it required a good many rats to go round. In order that one rat might serve to train several rats, the plan was adopted of placing a rat In a glass box or a wire cage set in the corral. Naturally the unfor tunate rat created a great deal of ex citement in the corral, and when it be came exhausted from fright the rat was taken to a cage to recover. Sooner or later the rat was turned loose among the cats, that they might taste his blood. Sometimes rats were tied with a string and hung Just beyond the reach of the cats. The society se riously considered Captain Shephard's case at several of its meetings, and finally, a few days ago, notified him that he must cease torturing rats, but consented to permit him to give the rodents outright to the cats. As a re sult Captain Shephard is at his wits’ end to keep up his supply of rats, as he uses about 100 each week. Conse quently he has been compelled to enter the rat market and pay *5 a hundred for rats and $3 a hundred for mice. The stable boys in the vicinity of Cald well are investing In rat traps and ex pect to reap a harvest as a result or Captain Shephard's offer. Some idea may tie gained of the profitableness of cat farming from the fact that over 1.000 kittens a year are raised and sold from the Shephard farm. These, all well bred and thoroughly trained, bring from $2 to $5 each, in many in stances especially well bred cats, with pedigrees elaborately inscribed on parchment, bring *20. A MAD MONARCH’S FREAK. King of Havarla round Pleasure In Frightening Ho ram to Heath. “At the time the malady of Ludwig II., the mad king of Bavaria, was at Its worst, he gave orders that thirty of his finest horses should be put in the best condition possible for a race, ’ writes Prof. J. H. Gore In the Ladies’ Home Journal. “When the report came that no further improvement could be made, he had them brought into an open field where every conceivable form of noise-making device had been stationed. The horses were tied to posts and the king from an elevated stand gave the signal that started the flare of trumpets, the booming of can non. the firing of bombs and other out landish noises. The horses reared plunged, struggled to get free and. fin ally, breaking loose, started in th<* wildest gallops from this bedlam.

She Knows Wliy n Alan Is Sometime* Irritable. I have never found a woman battling her way in the world who has not grown more sympathetic with human suffering, more patient with the little trials of life, more lenient and forgiv ing with the erring, and more appre ciative of home and family ties, says the Woman's Home Companion. Inde pendence, self-reliance and the adop tion of honorable business methods n» ed not destroy the inherent gentle ness of woman's nature, unfitting her for the exalted station of an affection ate wife and tender mother. And as the lessons of the practical realities of life must come sooner or later, must lie learned by most women, if they he learned in early womanhood, the dream life displaced by the real life, no “rude awakenings" to the world as it is await the woman. When ac quainted with the trials and disap pointments that confront business and professional men the wife can more fully appreciate the wear upon the nervous system due to the constant grind of dally carea. Knowing the real work of life, she becomes a companion, Indeed, fully appreciating the Joys of success and the disappointments of failure, sharing in both alike with her husband, and when thus appreciating the feeling of nervous exhaustion and irrltableness she quietly passes over these manifestations, which to the in experienced woman often prove the be ginning of estrangement, as between such and a dejected husband there can be but little real companionship and sympathy. ARMY AND NAVY. The aigrette is to disappear from the headgear of the Uritieh hussars and royal horse artillery, and its place will be taken by an ostrich plume. Kxumliiatlons have been completed at Washington navy yard of twenty nine applicants for commissions to the marine corps, and the result of tne findings submitted to the secretary of the navy for approval. It Is not known what the result is, but It is presumed that not over twenty, if that number, met the requirements. The same board, it Is expected, will examine a second list of candidates for other vacancies shortly to be designated by Secretary Long. The Dewey fund continues to drag along in a most discouraging fashion, but there is more hope that the sub scriptions will swiftly increase. They now amount to about $10,000, but more interest in parts of the country is shown in the raising of the fund, and the daily receipts are growing. It is said that in case the total does not reach the amount contemplated a num ber of wealthy men stand rendy to put sufficient to run the total up to $100,000. No official Information lias yet been received in Washington ns to whether the admiral will accept the residence to be offered him, and there i‘> still a belief that he will advise that the money be turned into a home for invalid sailors. This is largely con jecture, however, and the officials In charge of the fund say that it has had the effect of stopping subscriptions to some extent. * "A peculiar thing happened in Nash ville once during a sham battle,” said a Memphisau who was once a state militiaman. “In order to make the drill realistic it was given out that some of the men should fall as if shot, but no certain ones were specified. It was a very hot afternoon, and It struck me that it would be a good thing to fall In a shady spot and rest while the other soldiers drilled and perspired. The first shady spot we reached 1 fell all right, but the same bright Idea had struck every member of the com pany, and the captain suddenly turned and found his entire company 'killed.' He fined us $5 each, and we came to life again and finished th« drill.” This experience is similar to that of a the atrical manager who employed college students to represent the opposing forces in a sham battle. Certain stu dents were instructed to fall during the engagement to represent the casu alties, but at the sound of the first gun the soldiers of both armies dropped dead and pul an end to the performance.

A Wa*|> That Kills and fat* the female Tarantula. “Low down on the R!o Grande river," said a man from Texas, "where the sunris are heated almost red hot with the sun, there grow the biggest centipedes, the biggest rattlesnakes and biggest tarantulas In the world. If you can look at one of these taran tulas when he is pinned fast to a board with the naturalist’s thin steel pin, and you are sure that he is good and dead and can not spring at you and shoot his poison into you, he forms an in teresting subject to study. They are horrible-looking, hairy things, with eight legs and eight eyes. Their col ors are dark brown and black. The female tarantula is said to be a fickle spouse and to have a summary way, all her own, of getting rid of her con sort when she is tired of him. She woos and weds all right, assumes the entire care and support of the family. The first matrimonial jar she has she turns to and kills her husband. Not content with killing him, she eats him. The female is the larger and the. stronger of the two; they are sim ply gigantic for spiders. 1 have seen those that measured six Inches be tween the stretch of their legs. They are the terror of man and beast. But there is one little animal of the Insect family that wicked Mrs. Tarantula stands in as much dread of as a man stands in dread of her, and that |s a big wasp that in Texas is known by the name of the tarantula hawk. The tarantula hawk has un exceedingly uau opinion of the tarantula. It will Hy around over the head of the taran tula, make a lightning-like dive down, get a good rlutrh of the monster spi der, fly away home with him, then all the tarantula hawk family sit down to sup. The tarantula hawk will not hurt men. On the contrary. It is a hlesBlng, and you never hear of a western man harming one of them. It Is said that these Hlo Grande cattle rangers are indebted for the tarantula hawk to an old New England professor, who, while down in that country In pursuit of Ills studies as a naturalist, was stung by one of those monster spiders and nearly died, «nd would certainly have died bad it not been for the whis ky Husk of his guide. In that country where rattlesnakes, tarantulas and centipedes are so big and so plentiful, no rancher leaves his bouse without his whisky flask. Shortly after the old professor leit that part of the country the rancher received a small box of these tarantula hawks with In structions what to do with them. He turned the big wasps loose, they In creased and multiplied, and now they are holding their own against their enemy, the tarantula.”—New York Hun. PASTOR MUST LEAD HIS FLOCK lie Kltoulil Not Como I low ii to Their Level. I he minister should be given to understand that his congregation ex pects to share in the ripest knowledge he possesses, and will appreciate his most careful thinking," writes lau Maclaren In the Ladles’ Home Journal. "When he rises to his height on any occasion and preaches a great sermon, it does not matter whether every per son has understood every word or some of them only about one-half. He ought to be told that all the members of his church are proud of him and thank God for him, and that even If he were beyond them this was not be cause of obscurity but because of ele vation, and that they are pleased to have a minister who lives at such a level. He must not come down to them, but they must strive to rise to him. It Is a miserable business for a preacher to repeat the commonplace of his people in a showy form so ^iat the man In the street goes home con gratulating himself because he has heard his paltry ideas (ricked out in a showy dress. It Is the function of the prophet to lead his flock onward, even though the march be sometimes through the wilderness, and they ought to follow close behind him and tell him that they are there, and that they will not cease to follow till be has brought them into the fullness of the land of promise. I'nder those conditions a man will feel bound to read the best books and to think out every subject to its very heart; be will grudge no labor of brain, no emotion of soul, to meet the expectation of a thoughtful, broad-minded people, and If he come at last to he a leader of thought whose words fly far and wide, then to this congregation will the credit lie dim who believe.!
