Mrs. Cleveland'! Future- SHE WANTS HUT MTTI.E AND IS INTER ESTED IN A MRU's NEST. The New York World recently printed a three column article alxrnt the life of the Clevclands at their Buzzard's Bay home, which closes with these beautiful and sig nificant words : "The Clevclands have spent much time this summer on the steam yacht Onedia, which belongs to K. C. Bene dict the Broad street banker. She is comfortable boat of seventy tons. The yacht was anchored near the house for nearly a month, except f.hen every one went on a cruise, which was pretty often. But of late Mrs. Cleveland has not oared much Jo leave Gray Gables. She doesn't move alwut nearly so much as she did. k "She loves best to sit upon the vcr- puna wiiu ntT iiusdbiki at ner shi or walk slowly with him hand in hand through the pine groves. Never : has ihe looked so lovely as she does . this Summer. Her fae is brown ,like chocolate, an exquisitely beautiful .col or. Soft loose robes cover her stately figure. On her head is usually a yachting cap. I ' The Benedicts and their yacht are tone now. .Before .they went away Mr. Benedict, his son and Mr. Cleve Jsnd went over in Cape Cod Bay on a fishing trip. Mrs. Cleveland did , not go with them. Formerly she has al ways accompanied her husband to the Indian village, near which is to be found such line sport. Mrs. Cleve land's mother, is at Gray Gables now. There will be fewer guests the remain der of the season. "Over in the pine grove about three hundred yards away from the house, is a robin's nest which Mrs. Cleveland discovered. Every day when it is pleasant she strolls there. She tries to sooth the fluttering mother bird with her soft words She will not go many more times because the purple flecked shells will break be fore long. Nearer and nearer do Mr. and Mrs. Cleveland seem to grow to each other. Somehow the villagers know about it. Mothers draw their little ones to their breasts as she passes and whisper a prayer. They see a soft, radiant smile that shines from her dreamy eyes, they notice the fluttering of her lips, and now and then the dew in her eyes. They are quick to see and know these Cape Cod women. That is because they are women, and they know more in a single glance than men can learn in all their lives. So when the shadows lengthen and the nightly prayer is said, the de vout villagers have a little whispered sentence for her. The Pines breathe it in each other's ears. The rest less waves gurgle and laugh over the secret. The birds chatter about it and the days move slowly by. Columbus' Burial Place. A CONVENTION URGED TO SETTLE THE DISPUTE. THE CASKET AT SAN DOMINGO. The press of San Domingo is urg ing a convention of the representa t.ves of all the historical societies in the world, to be held in that city, in order to settle definitely the vexed question of the place where rest the earthly remains of Christopher Colum bus. Havana claims to have the' on ly genuine bones, and this is indig nantly denied by the Dominicans, the contest raging in the newspapers with as much vehemence as the dis pute as to the superiority of two West ern towns. It is thought that if a representative body of men of that kind could be gathered there on the scene of the acts of dispute that the matter might be settled forever. The commissioner of the Latin American department recently visit-d the cathedral in San Domingo, viewed the sepulchural urn, and in the pres ence of a large number of distinguish ed persons was accorded the rare privilege of a sight at the interior of the casket. ' He was allowed to take a large number of photographs, which will be reproduced for exhibition at Chicago. His opinion as to the genuineness of the remains as compared with those in Havana was sought, but the com missioner declined to express any positive judgment.

"Sold by Druggists, 75c. 7-3i-4t I seal Rabln Adair. Tho hereof the popular anng of "Rohln Adair." whic h l attribute! to Ay Car oline KpMl, wm Robort Ailair, a ur ppon (1710(?)-17ftO), well known to the London fashionable circle of the eighteonth century as the " Fortunate Irishman. " His detection In an early amour drove him from Dublin to London. On his way ho fell In with a lady of fashion who had been slightly hurt in a runaway acci dent. He traveled with her In her car rinKo to London asmirglral attendnnt, and on their arrival was presented with a fee of 100 guineas and a general intitation to her house. There he met Lady Caroline Kepiel, daughter of the second Eurl of Albemarle, who, forgetting her high line age, fell desperately In love with the Irish surgeon at sight. Tho Albemarle family, dismayed at the project of such a mesalliance, took Lady Caroline from London to Bath, and tried every means to make her forget her lover, but In vain. At last their opposi tion was withdrawn, and the couple were united. It wm at Bath that Lady Caroline Is said to hare Composed the words of "Robin Adair, "setting them to the plaint ive Irish tune of Eileen Aroon," which he hud heard her lover sing. The original song of "Eileen Aroon" is attributed to one Carol O'Daly, an early Irish bard who flourished apparently be fore the tenth century. A Munster poet of tho seventeenth century rewrote the words, and In this form it was translated by John Anstor and paraphrased by Gerald Uriflln. It is in Cirilliu's para ph raso that tho song is known to this generation. Lippincott's. Pointer for Shoe Salrunrn. "Flease try tho left shoe on, "said the lady who sat next me in a shoe store. "Why was thnt?" I asked the man who had served her, when she departed. "Hole In her stocking. Oh, yes. You would hardly believe how many ladies hnve holes in their stockings. We al ways know it. It's 'try the right shoo on,' or tho left, 'never mind the other.' Some of them say, 'I'm afraid I have a little break in my stocking. I didn't ex pect to get my shoes tried to-day.' And often the little break horrifies them, hav ing grown to a big break during the day. Oh, yes, little breaks come sometimes, and the lady hersoif does not know it till the shoe is removed. In those case she usually says nothing, but just blushes. The hole is always a genuine case of acci dent when a woman takes it that way. Sometimes they gasp, so that we shull see how surprised they are, but theu some women pretend that Wo can usually tell the real thing. A successful shoe salesman needs peculiar gifts of tact and the genius of patience, "this one con tinued. "When a woman has a really large foot it's best to bring a shoe slightly too small, and then appear surprised that it does not fit. 'Some feet look smaller than a really smaller foot' is a good ex planation of your error. Bring to the woman who has a genuinely tiny foot a shoe too big, and then fit down to her. Nothing pleases her so much. A sales man influences the buyer tremendously. I believe a woman would rather have her foot praised than be told she, is clever. Always humor a woman with a big foot 'You can wear a much smaller shoe than this, of course, but you want this for really comfortable wear.' That makes her want to hug you. "New York Sun. MU4 Wards. The richness of the English language consists in the number and Tariety of its synomyms. These synotnyms have a shade of difference, but their resemblance of meaning is sufficient to make them liable to be confounded together. The habit of discriminating the shades of meaning will guard against this liability. The following eight words, which are frequently misused by interchanging one for the other, furnish examples of this ever present liability. , Between for among. The word "be tween" is properly used only when its object consists of two items, "Among" should be used if the object includes more than two items. "Between" is a corruption of "by twain," or "by two." A father divides his property between his two sons. Another divides his estate among his five children. Constant means occurring all the time without intermission. "Frequent" means occurring often. We frequently hear constant used to denote events which oc cur quite often, but at considerable inter vals of time. Custom for habit. A person forms a habit. A community or a people have a custom. It is a hubit with most persons to confound those two words. Indeed, this habit has almost become tho custom in some communities. Depot for station. The place where the train stops to take in passengers is a station, whether there be a building there or not. The depot (depository) is a strong building for the temporary storage of goods in the care of the railroad company for delivery or for transportation, (It may be at a station or it may not.) The Richest Inrtpwa rrl(n. The czar of Russia is the richest sover eign in Europe and one of the richest men in the world. The income of the impe rial family of Russia is derived from th crown lands, which are regarded as the rsar's private estate and treated as such. They comprise over 1,000,000 square miles, about one-third of the area of the United States, and include farms, pasture or grazing land, and forests, while hun dreds of villages are built on them, the inliabitants of which pay their rent to the czar. Many gold, silver, and other mines are included in the crown property, and the output of these is believed to be very large. There are no means of ascertain ing the exact income of the czar, since the imperial accounts are not more open to the public than the books of a private individual, but it is estimated by Rus sians in official position at 2,450,000 a year, about $13,350,000. Of this enor mous sum a portion is devoted to the maintenance of hospitals, asylums, churches, and theaters, but the larger part Is swallowed up by the personal aud official expenses of the imperial family.1 St Louis Globe-Democrat. Two Billiom in Mortgages- census statistics of homes on which there are incumbrances. The count of the farm and home transcripts, made in accordance with the mortgages collected by the Census Office, is completed. The figures are subject to slight modifications. There were returned by the enumerators ai49,)93farms and homes occupied by owners which are incumbered by mortgages. This number includes some farms and homes about which the enumerators made no report, and which belong partly to the class of hired and partly to the class of owned free,"as well as partly to the class of ownjd and incumbered. Until this unknown quantity, due to the failure of the enumerators, is eliminated, it may be regarded as approximately true that two and a quarter million families of the twelve and one-half million families of the United States occupy and own incumbered farms and homes, and that ten and a quarter million families occupy farms and homes that are either hired or owned free. The proportions of hired and owned free homes and farms will be known when the population divisions com plete the count of the returns per taining to them. The preliminary re sults inuicate mat the average debt for a farm in Iowa is $1283; home, $7195 average for. farm and home, $1140. If these averages hold good for the Union, the incumbrance on the farms and homes of tho United States occupied by owners is about $2,565,000,000. Tne success of this investigation, Superintendent Porter says, has been far beyond the anticipations of the most experienced statisticians, and the result will be of immense interest and value to the nation. The first volume relating to recorded indebted ness will probably go to press this year. Incomplete returns from several Western States indicate that farms and homes are mortgaged for about one-third the value put upon them by the owners.

Throw fancy work away. Wear lightest, lowest shoes. Ride at morn and walk at eve. . Believe that waiters are human. . ' Let hats be light and bonnets airy. Eschew kid gloves and linen collars. Hurry never, thus being at leisure ever. Dress in cambrics, lawns and ging hams. Be lavish with laundresses, fruit men and fans. Court the sea breezes, but avoid the hot sands, Let melons precede, and berries fol low the breakfast. Store up the sweet and give small place to the bitter. Remember that seeming idleness is sometimes gain. Retire when in the mood and arise when most inclined. Order freshest fish and corn-cake never mind the heavy fritters. Remember that nine-tenths of the people are at the seashore for rest. If you feel like doing a good deed, treat a dozen street children to ice cream. This is mission work. Do not tell your hostess how sweet the butter and cream were at your last summer's boarding place. Remember that children are only small editions of older people, and that they have feelings quite as acute. Look pleasantly at the tired stran ger who glances wistfully at the part ot your car seat occupied by your wraps, even if you do not offer her the seat Anna P. Payne, in The Ladles' Home Journal.

To Cool a Bedroom- If the sleeping room is warm, it may be cooled for a time by wringing large pieces of cotton out of water and hanging them before the open windows, says The Ladies' Home Journal. Leave the door open, and as the air comes through the wet cot ton it will be cooled. This is a good device for cooling a sick room the clothes can then be wet again and again. Keep the gas turned low dur ing the process of undressing, and sleep without a light, unless it is a tiny night-lamp.
