"STOSE IT'S SATAN."
It m only the ground on which the
lfe6 boys of Dr. Kellar'e school disported
themselves. Dot besides the bora pres
ent there were nt least ISO demons find
angels of ambition, envy, loyalty, perfi
dy and truthfulness.
The doctor himself. In a now suit of
tweed, scorned to the boys to be far more
apprpschable here in the midst of their
.porta than when in academic cap and
tfown he cast gloom through their ranks
by stalking along with that searching
eye of his well turned on the dieeornu-
turo of evildoers. However, even at
these grewsome times, the boys admitted
among themselves that Kellar was a gen
tleman, and that they'd rather take a
hiding from him than punishment drill
from a cad any day.
tor they were proud of Kellar's, loyal
to the Bchool, and ready to battle to the
bitter end against any common foe who
dared to asperse it in the slightest de.
grce.
A little lad of 10 had jnst run light
heartodly on the ground when the afore
said searchlight fell on him, and simul
taneously the head master shouted out:

On the strength of this Lieutenant
Colville had written to the girl he was
engaged to, who was at Cairo with her
mother, telling her that he would not

his company.
"I ve always been a lucky fellow.

The girl who got this letter was

as only a proud, loving woman can

Some one who has been delving int

light n description of some trousseau
gown made for lTlncosa Charlotte when
she married Prince Leopold of Saxe-Oo-burg.
Hero it the desert prion of the wedding
"The wedding drees was n slip of
white and silver atlas, worn under a

embroidered in a silver oama with a bor

other was of fine white India muslin
worked over in little spots wrought in
filigree gold and flounced with brussels

In addition to all this gold and silver
finery, there were two whole dresses of
brussels lace, valued respectively at UOU
and 860 guineas: also two of British

described was a white muslin morning
gown, trimmed with threo broad rows
of Valenciennes lace. All the gowns, it
will bo noticed, were white, and most of
them were gorgeous with gold and silver
thread.
But the going away gown of the Prln.

No Thief Will Touch IU
A costly ring, unguarded by police or
other special protection, hangs suspended
to a silken cord round the neck of a
statue of the Maid of Almadena, the
patron saint of Madrid, in one of the
most frequented parks of the Spanish
capital. It is set with valuable diamonds
and pearls, but there is not the least
danger of its odng stolen. The greatest
thief in Spain would sooner steal the
plate from his own mother's coffin than
to even so much as touch the uncanny
relics. Its history is curious and inter
esting, being equal to anything related
in niedimval folklore.
It was made in accordance with a
special order from the late Alphonso
All, who gave it to his cousin, the beau
tiful Mercedes, on the day of their be
trothal. She wore it constantly during
her short married life. Upon her death
tho king presented it to his grandmother.
Queen Christina. Sho died soon after
accepting it, and tho king then passed
tho deadly little joweled band of gold to
his sister. Infanta da Pilar, who died
within a month after. Again the ac
cursed circlet started on its deadly
rounus, next unuing a place upon the
finger of Christina, daughterof tho Duke
Montpensier. In less than 100 days she.
too, was dead. Alfonso then put tho
cursed jewel in his own casket of precious
relics aud lived less than a year after
so doing, Is it any wonder that such a
harbinger of death can safely hang on n
statue in nn unguarded square. Phila

A Chlllr Ilu.U
A duel of an original character was
fought in front of the Antwerp railway
station. Two gentlemen from Ltage,
after a hard day's sightseeing, refreshed
themselves so effectually at a cafe that
from beer to brandy and from argu
ments to insults they came to blows.
Blood alone could wash away the stain
of their mutual insults, but as deadly
weapons were not kept on the premises
for the use of customers the proprietor
of the cafe suggested that as the street
was deserted the adversaries should an
nihilate each other with "douches," and
be handed to each a portable water pipe.
Cold water being anything but aa excit
ing medium, the combatants after a
thorough drenching shook hands and
harried to change their garments. Lon

Bating com from the cob may not be
the most frraosful or dignified mode of
enjoying the vegetable, but it is a meth

ear in this way recently, a Brooklyn man
was bold enough to moke the remark,
