Admirals Rivals in Rhyme.
A London friend sends me qnite a
pretty story anent the daughter of Sir
Bdwin Arnold. She is her father's sec
retary and his companion in most of the
Journeys ronnd the world. During her
ncent star in Japan her majesty's China
atraadron ships and the American Pacific
feet were in the harbor of Yokohama at
the same time. Sir Edwin and his
ianghtor entertained the admirals of
both fleets at luncheon, and in retnrn
were naturally invited on board the
ships. The American fleet was first vis
ited, and npon leaving the gallant Amer
ican admiral presented Miss Arnold with
beautiful bouquet, tied with ribbons
of the ship, as a token of the respect of
himftelf and his officers.
This American courtesy came to the
ears of tlio English commander, and not
to be outdone by his American brother
he presented MiRS Arnold with a larger
bouquet and doubled the number of rib
bons. Then the American admiral sent
Miss Arnold a few verses of his own
composition. This was going a little
farther than the English officer was cap
able of, but he had some verses written
to Miss Arnold and dispatched them to
her three days afterward. The daugh
ter then told her father, and she imme
diately found a third contestant. That
same afternoon brought her another
beautiful bouquet and attached was a
card bearing the following lines:
TO MY DAUGHTK.ru
Oh, happy maid, whom two great flags conspire
To honor blondlng rich melodious posies.
When admirals rhyme, the muse unstrings hor
lyre
To bind In pride their mayflowcrs and their
roses. Edwin Aiinou.

Mrs. Gladstone.
She is one of the most charming look
lag women yon ever saw a sweet, kind
face framed in full, soft, lovely hair and
topped by a cap of velvet and lace. A
gown that falls in artistic folds and
doesn't rustle, and a way of looking at
ju as if she were interested in every
thing you said that's Mrs. Gladstone.
Sb does not care for society as it is
meant by the round of balls and recep
tions and the giving and going to them,
but she is delighted when she is at the
head of her own dinner table and has
about her a circle of friends who know
aad love her and Mr. Gladstone. Unlike
the wife of any other prime minister, she
aerer went in for having a salon, for sur
Bonnding herself with rich and powerful
blends who would simply care to be re
ceived at the house of a prime minister,
and yet have no real interest in the cause
which he so thoroughly and entirely
championed. . .
Instead, she has given her time to car.
ing for him, to seeing that he was under
any and all circumstances as comforta
ble as possible, and that in this way
bis health was preserved for the nation
Cor whom he did bo much good. Her
happiest moments are when she is with
bar husband at Ha warden, but on every
important occasion she has always been
by his side. Just remember that this
leans going over the country in rail
way trains, being for hours on open air
platforms, and thon you will understand
why the people of England worship Mrs.
Gladstone as a heroine. Cor. Ladies'

A Noble Work.
Mrs. James S. Gibbons has turned her
beneficence in the channel of charity, ;
and her large contributions to the Worn- i
en's Prison association have done much (
lot make its standing solid and sure.
SCxb. Gibbons was one of the first found
era of the home, and it has been mainly
through her untiring efforts that a law
haa been passed demanding that women
ariaoners should be searched and looked
tfter by women. Mrs. Gibbons visits
41 the prisons and talks with the worn
m. When they leave the prison she
ires them a refuge in the home until
ahey get started, and oftentimes she finds
ihem situations.
"Mine is a particular calling, that of
helping tho female prisoners," 6he said.
"Snch a woman is the most unhappy of
all human beings. Once a criminal al
ways one, and tho world has not a tear
tor her. Our prison association hunts
nil these women up and leads them to a
higher and nobler purpose in life." New
York Recorder.
The great plagues formerly filled ra
dons with terror; but they aro now well
iigh conquered, and are known mainly
is matters of history. Smallpox was a !
'rightful disease, even within the pres- I
jnt century, but is now powerless to gain
-foothold anywhere in Christendom. j
There are two prominent occupations
in which there seems to be no distino-
lion of sex in regard to honor or com- ,
pensation. On the stage and in tho field
of literature men and women meet as
equals.

If you are short and stout don't ask the
poor artist to make a picture of yon full
length. lie will, if you insiist; but ho
knows ho is doing n great wrong there
by. Nothing is so graceful and pleasing
in a picture of a stout lady as a sitting
half length, the figure so turned as to
hide the too too stoutness. Again, if
yon are slim and angulnr, do not for an
instant forget that a full length figure
will make you appear more slim and
angular. Then the pretty bust picture
is yonr only hope and you should insist
on having no other.
If a gentleman has a very long neck
no matter how nicely he hxiks in a high

high affair would look grotesque. A

No loud stripe, no great rhecks, no
striking figures should be worn in a

when you visit the studio bring along
your home expression. Don't spend two
days before you come to the studio prac
ticing poses anil different expressions be
fore yonr mirror, and, lastly, give the
photographer the benefit of exercising
his artistic and professional ability.

Mrs. Stuart's Good Work.
It is not a wonder that men should
look with astonishment ou a woman
who undertakes to build an institution.
Many a woman of advanced ideas would
be dumfounded to find a memlx-r of her
sex so far ahead of her age. Women
are feeling their way slowly and secret
ly but successfully . The female lxne
factors of New York city are many, but
unknown. Of wealthy families, they dis
like notoriety, and so long r.s they seo
their pet project blossom into success
and flourish they sink their own indi
viduality into tho abyss of humanity
and rest content.
A r.ow nsylum for destitute children
is to be built near Central park. Few
people know that the land nnd every
stick of tiinlwr that constitntes its frame
was purchased by a woman. Yet it was.
And that woman was Mrs. Robert Stu
art. She is bordering on the silver ago
of sixty, yet fho is full of geniality and
sociability.
"My husbimd was a lxnevolent man,
and when ho died I made it my life's
motto to carry out his intentions," said
she. "Money is of no avail to mo if I
cannot make some poor people happy."
New York Recorder.
Poisoned by Ills Easy Chair.
A distinguished citizen passed away
recently under circumstances which will
arouse a feeling of sorrow iu those who
realize how life might have been pre
served. Ex-Mayor Samuel C. Cobb was
ono of the sturdiest of Bostonians. But
gradually ho began to fail in health,
with such slowness that tho declino was
not noticed until it had gone far, very
far, but with a fatal sureness tliat no
medical skill could at the last avert. It
was all a mystery. The physicians doc
tored him for this and for that, surmis
ing now one disease and another, until
at tho last moment, just a few weeks be
fore his death, they discovered the real
trouble.
Arsenical poisoning was at tho root,
and that poisoning had been steadily go
ing on for years. His curtains, his wall
paper, and, more particularly, his favor
ite easy cha!r, were made of material
that contained the deadly arsenic, and
the poor man had unknowingly been
breathing in the poison whilo supposing
ho was resting nnd gaining strength. It
was very sad. Boston Cor. New York
Commercial Advertiser.

In 1S83 Easter full on March 23, and it
will only once again in this century,
namely, in 189-t, fall on so early a date.
Iu the three following centuries it will
occur only eight times on the same date
namely, in 1031, 8085, 2040, 2057, 2103,
2114, 2123 and 2198. The earliest date on
which Easter can fall is on March 22,
nnd this only in case the moon is full on
March 21, when this date happens to
fall on Saturday. This combination of
circumstances is extremely rare. It oc
curred in 1300, 171 and 1817, and will
happen again in 1990, 2076 and 2144,
while during the three following centu
ries it is not once "on the books" at this
early date. On the other hand, Easter
never falls later than April 23 ; this was
the case in 1668, 1734 and 1886, and will
only happen once in the next century
namely in 1943. Pall Mall Gazette.

A man told mo the other day he
would not have his name mentioned for
evident reason that when ho had a big
scheme to push the first thing he did
was to get into debt with the people he
wanted to enlist in his enterprise.
"Then, of course," said he, "by helping
mo out they help themselves." Specious
logic, to be sure, but cleverly plausible
on its outward face. Boston Traveler.
