She was kind to her children. They were not neglected. but she did not like children. She and her husband left the little ones. includ- ing 8 year-old baby, with a neighbor while they journeyed in Europe. The children never asked for their parents and were rather better contented with their new friend, for she was loving. I pity this woman's old age. I question whether her own will be inclined to care for her. The chances are they will consider her a. burden, for she has not implanted in them filial love. Much is said about the respect that the young should show the aged, but occasionally it would be right to reverâ€" se the order of things. Elderly people sometimes demand .too much. I heard a nice girl say to her mother: "Mama. do fix up a little!" The mother said: ’Oh. nobody will call, and this old wra per feels good." It is the duty of mot - are to "fix up a little." It has a re- fining influence. Elderly people some- times grow careless in manners, and be- USU they are old they are excused. hey ought to avoid this. I was at the house of a girl friend where the dinner wasso good. Her father was large and a great eater. He cut a Wide swath and enjoyed the nice meal. I am sorry to any that Carrie forgot herself and re- prlmanded him before the guests. I was sorry. She said: “Pa.you knowItold you I’d remind you if you ate so greedily. Cousin will think that you are one of Greely’s survivors. half starved." Ho flushed and we all felt uncomfortable. Some chatty person changed the sub- ject, and it was well. Sons and daughters want their paren- : to to be attractive. They want. them to use good language and to be clean and dressy, and observe good manners. Pbople cannot respect the aged when they are unlovely. I never like to hear , elderly people joke young folks as to‘ been: and marriage. When they are‘ ready, their aged friends will find it out... Youth has its ri hts and old age its privileges. It is a ‘ vortte themeâ€"- “the good old times." I am inclined to think that the women of to-day. are not idle. though their work is unlike that of the grandmothers who spun and wove Wearing apparel. THE LATEST IN SOFA PILLOWS. The newest sofa. pillows are made from tinted out; linens of medium tex- ture. and decorated with large open de~ signs wrought in half-solid work wtih white Asiatic Roman floss. The designs arc. mostly conventional, but; sometimes take. on a semiâ€"natural appearance, es- pecially when Honiton braid is intro-' duced. A full hemâ€"stitched ruffle about five inches wide finishes these linen pil- lows. One side is finished with buttons and buttonholes, that they may be taken off and laundred. A handsome pillow recently seen in a window of a ending art store. was made of old rose linen and wrought with three shades of g dull red. _ Unc off sage-green linen was wrought in White Roman floss. large Honiton braid forming the petals ‘of the con- ventional flowers. Coarse rick-rack and narrow cotton tape are‘effectively’us- ed upon these colored linens. The rick-rack can be bastedc into almost any design. but the tape should be bast- ed in loops, and applied in long and short stitch. Sometimes a. centre de- sign of fish-net is introduced. usuallE in a large colonial figure. For 811 pillows, the favorites are stamped Arâ€" murcs and Terrys. These retail at 1 per square. and make up handsomey when lined with bright silk, and fin-I ished with a ruffle. Buston art stlk= and Asiatic rope silk are_ used to work the. designs, although twisted embroid- cry silk is used by some who deems a finer thread. _ iArt dentin will be used for hammock pillows and cushions for piazza chairs. They are made adjustable and quickly outlined with Roman floss. A cover for the small piazza table is made to match and finished with a three-inch linen fringe. HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A veteran of the British army in In- dia once saw a strange sight on a bat- tle-field. As he tells the story, a spuaâ€" dron of cavalry had been held in re- serve under cover of a. field battery and an infantry regiment. The artil- lery duel had ended. The assault of the enemy in overwhelming numbers had been repulsed by the steadiness of the infantry. While a cloud of smoke . hung over the field the cavalry receiv- ed an order to charge with drawn sabres. ‘ The troopers started in close order .for the enemy’s line. Midway they met a. destructive fire from earthworks in front .of them. and from the woods on their flank. A young cavalryman, with his sabre drawn, was shot in the heart, while leading in the first file. The horse halted, swerved to the right and turned back, but the rider kept his seat without flinching.’ . The other troopers went on. carried the earth- work by' storm, rode at full gallop after the retreating force. and converted de- feat into rout. The dead trooper, meanwhile, was re- turning with white face and with the blood streaming from his wound. Unâ€" ’ der his nerveless hand the horse receiv- ed neither check nor leading. and made its own way onward toward the in- fantry. who were now advencing rap- idly. As the smoke lifted, the soldiers saw the solitary rider coming with one hand in a. death-grip upon the saddle, while the other still held the sword rigidly clasped. - . t was a sight never to be forgottenâ€" the galloping horse with the dead cav- alr man stil mounted and looking grim an fierce. .It was not until the rider had gone fift yards from the spot where he had eon killed that he rolled off the horse. A similar story is told of Captain Nolan, who delivered the fatal, blunderâ€" ing order for the charge of the famous Li ht Bri ade. He was seen on the fie d of B aclava. riding from the hills where the staff officers were drawn up to the (i arter where the brigade was stationet . The charge began, and what iwas left of the brigade returned in broken groups. At last Captain Nolan was seen gal- loping rapidly toward the centre of the field. He was firmly seated. straight _ as an arrow. and riding well. Sudden- gly the horse swerved, and the rider :tcg led over. 2 e officers who were nearest rushâ€" {cd forward, but when they lifted him ;from the ground they found him lifeâ€" less, Like the Indian sabreman he had been shot and instantly killed, but his horse had carried him safely across the field, out of the reach of the pursuing Cossacks.

An.ldvcntnre In the Willis 01' British Amcrlca. In the summer of 1893 two or three English sportsmen made an excursion into the wilds of British America west of the Athabasca River. They were in pursuit of adventure. and they found it, as is clearly shown in the book, "The Land of the Muskeg." which the lead- er of the party. Mr. H. S. Somerset. has since given to the world. On one oc- casion Mr. Pollen. the artist of the ex- pedition. went off with an Indian guide. Daukhan. and John, an interpreter. on a side trip of several days. and on his return narrated their adventures. one of which is given by Mr. Somerset in Mr. Pollen's language. - The three men were startled late one evening by a longâ€"drawn note. Dank- han sprang to his feet, put his clasp- ed hands to his mouth. and gave out a reply in kind. This was answered. "It is a person." said Daukhan. The sound. it appeared, was a regular In- dian call. and the men waited impaâ€" tiently for the maker of it to come up. But no one came, and by and by Dankâ€" han called again. No answer. Again he called. Still no answer. l "It was a. ghost,” said Daukhan, and his opinion was not to be shaken by anything that Mr. Pollen could say. Finally the men were settling down to sleep. Then occurred the "scare." which Mr. Pollen thus described: "1 had just packed my cartridge-belt, moccasins and heavier clothes under my pillow when I heard what seemed a heavy step in the dead rushes at the tail of the lake. not twenty yards from us. In another secondlcame another step, and then another. “I did not need to look at Daukhan to guess that he had heard them; when I did, it was to see him crouching on one knee, with his cocked rifle in his hand. and the gun-sheath lying at his feet. “John made a dash dfor my rifle, but I had already got its case off; and as- suring myself that it was loaded, pushed the safety bolt up. and knelt with it illiiifiiiifliiiiiii.

Scipio Sighele. an Italian student of crime,tells in a late issue of the Archives d’Anthropologie L‘riminelle the story of the three surviving and active brigand chiefs in the Roman Campagna. \Vhen Domenico Bigini. a former associate of the three, was killed half a dozen years ago there wire found in his pocketbook. besides bank bills pierced with bullet holes. two prayers entirely intact. One of these was supposed to protect him that carried it from sudden death.death without confession, enemies. and false nesses. The other, which was greasy with much handling. since the bandit read it every night, was in verse, and a note at the bottom declared that who- so carried it should have all sorts of grace. provided he observed the prin- ciples of religion. Bigini, Domenico Taburzi, and Luci- ano Fioravante infested for twenty years the territory between Civita Voo- chia and Grossetto. The most famous of the brigands is Taburzi. He was; .WAW...

He is no longer an assassin and highway rob- ber. He is stronger than the Italian Government in his own region, and in some sort is the Government, for he regularly levies taxes for his own sup- port and sees to it that smaller crim- inals do not trouble his subjects. One pays Taburzi $800 a. John got to the other side of the fire I year, and in return is protected in life with the axe in his hand. “At intervals what seemed like foot- > steps came towards us, as if the animal were uncertain ‘whether to come or not, and the minute or two seemed an age.

To use a slang phrase, the squirrel had got the laugh on us] “One thing I was glad of, as we went laughing to bed; Daukhan had been as badly fooled as myself." .._.-. . ....- _. . ........

A law officer of the crown at Viterbo declares that. since Taburzi came into the region crime has materially decreased. Thieves and high- way robbers abstain from operating in the region, 'because they \know that. howover ineffective the Government may be in suppressing crime, the hand of Taburzi is sure to avenge those whom he has undertaken to protect. The aim of his rifle is sure, and he has a way of appearing and disappearing that seems little short of superhuman.

They believed that Baffacli Gabrielli, a farmer, betrayed Bigini to the police. - A year later, as Gabrielli was superin-l tending a group of laborers in the fields 5 one morning at 8 o'clock. a man sudâ€"i denly appeared and drew him aside to a place where there stood another man. The two strangers were Taburzi and Floravante, They shot the farmer to death. crying “Remember the 6th of August l” and ” Thus we serve traitors!" lhe executioners then disappeared as mysteriously as. they had come, while the laborers stared after them, HELPLESS \VITH FRIG HT. I Taburzi and his companions operate in an almost iiiut‘cusmble region of dwarf forest, steep valleys, and rough hills. The district is almost surrounded by the sea. The brigands know every .blind valley and devious pathway that it contains. The whole district is in- .fectcd with malaria, and the unaccliin- . burzi, reassuring him, he aied police are_made helpless by its attacks. Taburzt is singularly fearless in his movements.

When the stranger had gone one of the hunters remarked upon lllS fine and courageous appearâ€" ance. and the host ammunited that the. departed guest was 'l'aburzi. ho-xt in fame to Taburzi among the bandits of the Canipitgna is Austiini. _He is originally a. iimson by trade, but in 18:15 he was sentenced to ten years' imprisonment for theft. and a year after his release he was condemned to death for murder and highway rob- bery. His sentence was commuted to life imprisonment. but in April. 1890, he esoaped along with Damiano Mincluetli and three other criminals. Ansuini and Miiichetti established themselves at San Magno. as brigands. the former being the intellectual bend of the band and the more brutal Minchetli his devoted slave. Ansuini has not converted crime into a contract and robbery into a. tax as has the greater Taburzi. but pre- serves the old methods of highway rob- bery, kidnapping for RANSOM AND MURDER. He had a plan for seizing a citizen of Viterbo and holding him for ransom. but the intended victim was warned and escaiwd. Ansuini believed that on" Pasquale Signarolli had suundml ili: alarm, and soon after Signarvlli disap peared from his home. His wife receivâ€" ed a letter bearing the signature o~’ Ansuini and inviting her to obtain hl‘f‘ husband's release by leaving 8400 at it desugnatcd place.

Amuini's partner, At the Berlin Congress the Russians and the English were discussing at every session the Ottoman frontier,and the debate reached a. point where war day as Count Schouwaloff was speaking, Lord Bott- consfiold, who understood French. but did not speak it, rose up suddenly and. interrupting the Russmn pienipotcii- liaryl, shouted; “Quesai keseuss bel- e)-e 1’ Bismarck, who presided. opened his enormous eyes and gazed all around the assembly in the most profound llS‘ tonishmcnt. Prince Gortscliakoff was dumbfounded, while the English plent- potcntiarios, Lord Salisbury and Lord Odo Russell, nodded their assent, and seemed to understand the mysterious words perfectly. But. the effect of the quesai keseuss belleyc was such that Count Schouwaloff lost; the thread of his discourso. and Bismarck, completely puzzled. closed the session. . In the evening at dinner. at llis- marck’s residence, old Gortschiikoff slapped Bcaconsfield on the shoulder and smilingly asked him wliitt_ was the meaning of the three English. words which he had shouted out during the session. “ They Were not English.” Beat-Oilfield, “but Latin." Everybody came around to listen,and his lordship repeated his terrible words and it was discovered that they meant quasi casus belli. Beaconsfield considered that Schouwa- loffs’ proposals amounted to a cause for war. The story furnishes a good exâ€" ample of th“ necessity of making Latin- ists come to an agreement in the mat- i'.er of pronunciation. replied GRAINS 0G GOLD.
