THOSE WIDOW'S WEEDS.
Oue sunny day In July, two years
ago, I was seated with my old friend
M., at a little table in the big salle-a-manger
of the Hotel liaur au Lac at
Zurich. The tourist season was Just
beginning; the table d'hote was suf
ficiently crowded to be Interesting,
without the feverish hurry and scram
ble that mark the height of the sea
son, and we were in that leisurely, go-as-you-please
frame of nilud charac
teristic of a couple of hard-worked men.
Just emancipated from the sUllins
drudgery of London olllce work, and
now pausing for a day or two at the
Bm stage of their summer holiday.
With the exquisite sense of freedom
from ull obligations and engagements,
the feeling of relief from all Irksome,
duties, and the exhilaration of change
of scene and entourage, there comes a
disposition to take a lazily observant
Interest lu everything around, above
all la the appearance, characteristics,
an'd demeanor of one's fellow-travelers,
however well worn and familiar muy
' be their types. The anxious Engliah
nictiion, suspicious of strange dishes
the burly paterfamilias airing his
ehort-syllabled French the raetallic
voiced Ameiicaine, with her calcula
tions and gue.-sJes the obese Teuton,
supplementing the adorn that lingers
Wire miule before forks, with n cor
onary that knives were Intended to bo
usrd before either the bushy eyc
brn.wd Frenchman, with his servieite
tacked under his chir; all these types
' id neon n hutidred times before),
1 t v.-a l'-U of our holiday feeling
a! he beginning of our trip that we
si r,.i,d b renewing our acquaiuiauce
With them once again.
; bad just recovered from the
r -wplatlon of a quartet of our own
co i rywomen, whoso skimpy gar-
s and lingular cu' lines v. cut far
1 .jstlfy the carto..iis wherein for
i "-s are wont to delineate the sdl-
characteristics of the Lrlt.sh fe
male, when an apparition of a very
different character arrested our atton-li-
. In tho act of taiiiug their stU3
a little table near us were threa
pcooiis: a mid Jle. -ii ,1, gray-haired
clergyman; a pleasant-looking, homely
lac'y. obviously his wife; and a young
gi. i ,ith very beauiiful blue eyes and
a , ro.uaion of golden hair. She seeiu
k: to be not more than twenty-one;
tr.t r.'.e blue eyes were sad and pensive;
it. , cu the thick clusters of the gol
dcr hair rented a widow's cap; while
air perfectly nttiug black dress, with
its Lioad white linen collar and cuffs,
flir '.Tj-ed to the utmost advantage tho
u:..:u:at:ng lines of a full and graceful
figure.
I gazed with admiration at this
chr-.rmlng vision, to who.se blooming
youth and beauty the sombre garb of
lor row and bereavement formed
bo '.'iquaul and touching a cuiitra3t;
but on turning to M. in tno expectation
o? 'meeting In his face a 'reflection of
my own emotion, I was surprised to
llnd In the attentive scrutiny, with
whkh he was regarding her an ex
pression which I could not quite under
stand. M. can make his face as in
icrutablo as a door knocker when he
likes, and his look at this moment was
abulately undecipherable. All I could
make out was that he was regarding
bou.i; one whom he did not like. How
ever, X was not to be put off.
"Smart young widow over there,"
Bald I.
"H'm," said M., deliberately. "How
do you know she's a widow?"
"She wears the uniform, anyhow,"
Bald I. "Do you know who she is,
then?"
M. put down his knife and fork, leant
bis elbows on the table, and said:
"That is Tom Heatherington's girl."
"Not really? Then she wears that
aress for him? Poor thing!"
"Poor thing!" echoed M., In a tone
whose dryness and want of sympathy
larred unpleasantly upon me.
Kcr it was a pathetic little story, one
thr.t had found ita way into the news

pa.nv and interest "Suicide on tho

There is a tradition to the effect that
no man Is allowed to become a mem
ber of the Vasear faculty unless be is
married. Whether the tradition has
any grounds it is hard to say. One
thing is certln, if the tradition were not
true, then the following story could not
bo true, either, und where is the man or
woman who would be brave enough to
deny the truth of the story?
Uased primarily, therefore, upon the
tradition, tho Btory goes on to nfllmi
that if an unmarried man ninkes appli
cation to become a member of the Vas
ear faculty, he is, nil other things con
curring, only premitted to do so on con.
dition that he gets married and at once.
Sometimes this is easier than at other.
A young man who sought to fill the
Vassar chair of history not long ago
(at least so says the story) was so ac
coptable In every way that his examln
ers forgot to inquire Into the moet Im
portant thing of all his state of single
or double blessedness. Not until the
day of opening the college was at hand
did any of them recall how shockingly
they Jiad left undone these things whlcl
they ought to have done. The young
man, by that time arrived, had to con
fees that r)e was a bachelor. Well,
there was nothing for it but the one
thing, so the faculty hemmed and
hawed a bit and finally got it out that
the vonne man must cot married.
"We'll give you Just two weeks,'1 they
said; "otherwise, you'll have to resign
your place. Surely you know of some
glvl that you can get to marry you
within two weeks." It was now the
turn of the poor young man to hem
and haw, but he saw mere was no alter
native, his whole professional future
depended upon It so he permitted him
self to be hustled off tho campus before
any of the suspectible students caught
tight of him. promising to return with
in a fortnight, married. He was as
good as his word, though (according to
the story) he had a pretty hard time
filling the contract to the letter. Be-sl-les
Its verification of the tradition,
this story has nno'her value. It suc
cinctly disproves the charges that Vassal-
or any other colleges possesses a
illecottrager of matrimony.

The superstition that thirteen Is un
lucky, which Is traced back to a sacred
source, meets with as many contradic
tions as confirmations. The fact that
the horrible fire in tho Paris Dazanr
started at root.h thirteen was tele
graphed all around tho world, whereas
little notice h; attracted by Nansen's
success with thirteen men.
At one time two was a dreaded num
ber in England, owing io the dynastic
disasters to all monarch second of

his life was two; and who could wish
for better luck than that which results
at times from having two strings to

MllltnrUin Cnxlly,
European nations find the mainten
ance of immense standing armiesandof
great navies enormously expensive.
Not only is the cost of paying and sub
sisting tho soldiers and sailors stupen
dous, but it is necessary to constantly
re-cquip them and to build more mod
em vessels by reason of the developp
ment in firearms and naval construc
tion due to the rivalry of the neighbor
ing nations. The German infantry is
new to be armed with new rllles, the
work of purchasing new cannon for
urtillery being completed. This is an
additional burden to the German tax
payers, and coming at a time when
about one hundred million dollars is
to be expended in enlarging the Ger
man navy makes the nrlce paid for war
preparations an exorbitant one. Fraire
is about to expend several hundred mil
lion francs for wore war vessels. Eng
land Is paying 'out millions of funds
each year for the same purpose, and is
about to Increase its army 30 per cent,
Italy Is groaning under the weight of
taxation to maintain its naval and mil
itary establishmets that it may contin
ue a "power." Russia is equally ex
travagant in its military and naval
expenditures, and Austria is not be
hindhand. This is tho price of peace,
and the taxpayers of Europe can seo
no lessening of the cost, but rather a
eteady increase until the crash comes,
and with it the deotructlon of one or
more nations.

Congressman Campbell of McLeans
boro. 111., a great apple region, tells
tho following yarn about one of his for
mer constituents. The old man owned
a good farm and a big orchard, but his
children had married, off, and the old
man was growing lonesome on the
farm. Recently ho told a friend in
town that he would sell his place if he
got his price. When the apple buying
time came around thw town man met
one of the buyers from the East and in
tho courso of tho conversation remark
ed to him that he thought he knew
where he could buy nn orchard crop a
fow miles out. Tho buyer was ready
to go and look, and the town man ac
companied him. They went to tho old
farmer's place. They walked through
t hf orchard carefully, and the buyer
examined the apples critically. Tho
old farmer was pretty hard of hearing,
nnd It was Impossible to carry on mucli
conversation with him. As they enma
lick to the house the apple buyer
asked: '
"Well, What do you want for ycur
crop1?"
"Six thousand "dollars," replied the
old run,
The buyer figured a little and said:
"All right. I'll take it."
Tho old farmer seemed a little sur
prised at the promptness with which
tho bargain was struck, but, turning to
the town man, he said promptly:
"Me and my wife will' be in to-morrow
to sign the deeds."
"Thunder!" said the town man, "Ho
isn't buying your farm. He's glvlus
you mat ror your apple crop."
