"Never mind, dear; perhaps we will bare more money another summer. "Always patience," abe replied cross ly. "If a wen enough for people to talk wben they bare money, bnt then, what's the nae fnaalng; I never bare bad anything since we came to New Tort.' "My dear Trlx, I think yon are a little on kind. Ton krvw I bare tried to give yon everytbinf I could possibly afford. O, Trlx, yon mustn't talk so.' "Forgive me, Chaoncey. I will try to do without It" Tbafe the girl," and be smoothed the pretty hair from the white forehead and sighed. He wished to see bis sis ter as well dressed aa other girls, but circumstances forbade; bis pictures did not sea, and be felt the time was fast approaching wben they would hare to leave their pleasant rooms and go to some other part of the city. One evening, about three months later, Chauncey Selford came home, looking ill. Trlx was there, but she did not notice ber brother's careworn face, because he was engaged in making a dress to be worn a week later at the grand ball given by Mrs. Charles Carlton, sister of Lord Percy Carlton. As he entered the room Trlx looked up. "Here Is something Mrs. Bradbury's footman gave me. I have not opened It yet" He tossed It over to her as be rpoke. "O, Chauncey, an Invitation to Gussle Bradbury's reception a week from to day. Ton will go," she added, looking up into his face. "I cannot," be replied. "Bnt If you really wish to go," as her face fell, "I can hire a carriage." "What shall I wear?" she said a mo ment later. "Why, the drees you are making." "I can't wear that; lt'a for the ball." "Then you can stay at home," be re plied, huffily, as he left the room. "What can be the matter with nine," be thought "Why, he never spoke a cross word to me before. O, If I could marry some rich old man, then Chaun aey would have time and money to study art" Meanwhile Cbauncey had gone to bis little studio, and after shutting the door threw himself Into the armcnair and burled his face in his hands. That night he bad meant to tell Beatrix that they would have to leave their rooms and go where they could Live cheaper. Then the Invitation to the reception. He could not go and eould not well let ber go. ' "It Is of no use to fight against pov erty," be said, bitterly. "We will al ways be poor, and we might as well live as our means will allow, w'thont this pretension." Jnst then a knock at the door and a young lady entered. "Miss Fairfax," be exclaimed In sur prise. "Ab! I have taken you quite una wares, have I not?" with a sweet smile on her face. "But you will certainly pardon that when I tell you I bring you work. Mrs. Carlton wishes these pictures." and she handed bim a list That will help you, will It not?" "You are my good angel, Edythe. If I could only have a chance to study art I could make a living." "It Is too bad, Cbauncey, but If yon would let me help." "No, Edythe, I must fight my own battles without help." "iWIl," after a few moments' silence, "I must go. How Is Beatrix?" "Pretty well," he said with a sigh. And seeing he was in no mood for talk ing she left bim. Chauncey Selford had given np every thing for bis sister.

Chopin's Appreciative Audience. When Chopin, the great composer and pianist, was a young man, be traveled through Poland with a friend and was one day snowbound. Some peasants succeeded In getting the sleigh out of tne an ft, and escorted the strangers to a post-bouse to exchange horses. As the travelers entered the little house, Chopin went to the piano, and, striking a few chords, enj.'lalrued Joy fully. "Santa Cecilia, the piano la tn tuner' and seated himself at the Instru ment As he sat there improvising, the peasants stole in and stood watching bim with mingled amazement and de light "We shall see whether they are lovers of music," said Chopin softly to bis friend, and thereupon be began to play his fantasia on Polish airs. The peas ants stood in silence, their eyes fixed on the pianist's flying fingers and their faces irradiated with pleasure. Suddenly the postmaster announced, "The horses are ready." Chopin start ed up, but a dozen voices cried, "Finish that wonderful piece finish ItH And the postmaster, who had heard only a few bars, said pleadingly: "I'll give you a courier, horses, every thing yon want If you will remain Just a little while." The fantasia was finished, and at last the pianist was allowed to depart though with many expressions of sor row from the enraptured group. Tears afterward, wben all Paris fell under the charm of bia skill, Chopin often recalled the tribute paid bim by thoae Polish peasants. ' Curran'a Retort. Mr. Justice Robinson's encounter with John Phllpot Curran baa been stated by Lord brougham to have been the most successful instance of repar tee on record. Judge Robinson waa known to be the author of some anony mous pamphlets, a circumstance which gave Curran an opportunity of retort when the Judge made a brutal attempt to crush him when a young and inex perienced man at the bar. "I have searched all my law books," said Cur ran, "and I can find no precedent on the point" "Your law library," said the Judge, "Is rather contracted." "My books," replied Curran, "may be few, but the title pages give me the writers' names. My shelf Is not disgraced by any of such rank absurdity that their very owners are ashamed to own .hem." "If you say another word, air," said tbe Judge, "I'll commit you." Then, my lord." replied Curran, vlll be the best thing yon have commit ;ed this term." Tbe Judge endeavored 10 get Curran disbarred, but failed. Law Notes. The Secret of This OpaL A Xew Orleans Jeweler tells a rathe. whimsical little story at the expense of a gentleman of this city who plumes himself on his freedom from supersti tion. "Back In tbe '80s some time." aid the Jeweler, "be bought an opal ring while on a visit to El Paso, Tex. The setting was supposed to come from the Mexican mines and waa remarkably handsome ana run oi ore. It was 'mounted with ten small brilliants and made really a very striking ornament; but as usual, the friends of Ita owner were continually predicting that II would bring bim bad luck. He laughed at their alarm and finally took a good leal of pride in vaunting bis superiority to popular superstition. About a month ago he lost one of the brilliants and brought the ring here for repairs. 'I've worn this opal for over ten years,' he said, 'and I've yet to discover that It was responsible for any misfortune. Plague take such silly notions, any how.' Wben I repaired the' mount I examined tbe setting carefully and was greatly amused to discover that it wasn't an opal at all, but merely a piece of colored glass. Opals, by the way, are easily Imitated, the current belief to the contrary notwithstanding. Wben I told tbe gentleman about it II made him so mad that be gave tbe ring to his negro porter." New .

BODY OF EDWARD VI. IS FOUND. of Kaalaad's aUaeia atlas Are Das Up at Windsor. The body of Edward VU the boy King of England, who reigned front 1347 to 1553, has, it la believed, been found at Windsor, England. It recalls the Bluebeard King Hen ry VIIL and his six wives; tbe pathetic boy King, bia son; the unhappy Lady Jane Grey; the boy King's sisters. "Bloody Mary" and the great Eliza beth, and all tbe romances and trage dies of that great Tudor period, when men staked their lives on their religion and their politics and the English na tion was being created. Tbe resting place of every King, from the Norman conquest down to Queen Victoria's predecessor, la known and suitably marked, with tbe solitary ex ception of Edward VI. " Thla King alone has no tomb. In the great Abbey of Westminster, where his grandfather, Henry VII, first of the Tudors, built a beautiful chapel, there Is no stone, to bis memory. Neither is there st Royal Windsor, where his ter rible father waa burled. In no building of the Church of England, which be helped so greatly to establish, is there a memorial to poor Edward. There are authentic accounts of tbe arrangements for hla funeral, but when It cornea to tbe matter of burial there Is no precise record. Tbe fact that a King of England lies dead without a monumental tomb to his memory Is as tounding. Is this mystery to be cleared away aner suu years and more? it seems probable. An ancient coffin has been unearthed in Royal Windsor, and the body it contains Is declared by high arcbeologlcal authority to be that of King Edward VL Workmen were making tbe founda tions for a new station on tbe Great Western Railroad at Win 'sor. Re cently they were excavating Thames street near tbe great castle which has been tbe chief residence of the sover eigns of England for 800 years. Near est to tbe place where the men were at work Is the Curfew tower of the castle, and not far away are tbe Garter tower, the Salisbury tower, and Henry VIII.'s gateway. At a spot about 100 yards from the Curfew tower, fourteen feet below the street level and four feet in tbe chalk, their pickaxes struck something that gave a hollow sound. In a few min utes they unearthed a great wooden cofflo. Tbe excitement in quiet old Windsor waa great Tbe police formed a cordon about tbe trench and tbe coffin was placed on a wagon and driven to the Windsor cemetery mortuary. There a careful examination was made by Dr. Hulbert In the presence of Mr. F. Lay ton, chairman of the Windsor burial board, and other persons of local Im portance. It. was found that there were really three coffins, one outside tbe other. Tbe outer one, of oak, was mnch decayed. It broke and crumbled at tbe touch, but tbe bronze bandies and copper nails and fastenings were Intact though corroded. There waa no sign of any name on any of tbe cof fins. Fitting closely Inside the outer case was a beautiful leaden coffin, smooth as the top of a dining-room table. This Inclosed a wooden shell In which the body was actually found, hidden from view by a quantity of fine sawdust Tbe corpse was wrapped in a silken em broidered shroud of exquisite texture, and did not crumble to dust when ex posed to the air, showing that the body had been embalmed In a very careful manner. About the neck waa a heavy gold chain. From this apparently a locket or pendant had been removed. wMch might have furnished a clew to tbe Identity of the corpse. The coffins and everything connect ed with them were of the finest quality. The metal handles were beautifully wrought The dead man had clearly been of rank and wealth. This fact made the absence of any Inscription on the coffin all tbe more mysterious. Those who saw tbe body say that It waa that of a boy or a frail man. It waa gracefully formed. Tbe face waa intelligent The bands and feet were remarkably small and delicate. Tbe hair was fair and long. There waa no beard on lip or chin. This description corresponds very closely with that of tbe body of the boy King Edward VI. as given by chroniclers of his time. The skin of the corpse had assumed a dark brown color. At the back of tbe neck there waa a deep dent Whether this had been made after death or whether It waa a mark of violence re ceived In life Is in dispute. Tbe body was buried under an ancient street and could not have been placed there less than 800 years sgo. Tennyaon'a Three Queens. On one occasion Tennyson waa asked by the present Bishop of Rlpon wheth er the three Queens who accompanied King Arthur on his last voyage repre sented Faith, Hope and Charity, The poet's reply givea an indication of his Idea of the spirit In which poetry should be read. "They mean that and they do not They are three of the no blest of women. They are also those three graces, but they are much more. hate to be tied down to say, This means that' because the thought with in tbe image is much more than any one interpretation." Maslcai Fish.

Of all the diseases known with which the female organism is afflicted, kidney disease ia the most fatal. In fact, unless early and correct treatment is ap plied, the weary patient seldom aurvives. ... Being fully aware of this, Mrs. Pinkham, early in her career, gave ex haustive study to the subject, and in producing her great remedy for woman's iia Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound was careful to see that it contained the correct combination of herbs which was sure to control that fatal disease, woman's kidney troubles. The Vegetable Compound acts in har mony with the lawa that govern the entire female system,. and while the. are many so called remedies for kidney troubles. Lvdia E. Pinkham's Vege table Compound is the only one especially prepared for women. The following letters will show how marvellously successful it is : Aug. , 1899. " DBA a Mas. PiitaBAM : I am fail tnjr very fast, since January have lost thirty-five or forty pounds. I have a yellow, muddy complexion, feel tired, and have bearing down pains. Menses have not appeared for three months ; sometimes I am trou bled with a white discharge, and I also have kidney and bladder trouble. . . I have been this way for a long time, and feel so miserable I thought I would write to you, and see if you eould do me any good." Miss Eoxa FaaoaaicK, Troy, Ohio. Sept 10, 1890. Dkab Mas. Pink ha ax t I have nsed Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound according to directions, and can say I have not felt so well for years as I do at present. Before taking your medicine a more miser able person you never saw. I could not eat or sleep, and did not care to talk with any one. I did not enjoy life at all. Now, I feel so well I can not be grateful enough for what you have done for me. ou are surely a woman's friend. Thanking you a thousand times, I remain.

Although tbe akin of an ostrich is worth from forty to one hundred dol lars on the spot the hunter of the des ert usually prefers to search for the eggs when he has discovered an os trich In flight An English traveler In the Sahara, Mr. H. B. Tristram, de scribee this search. Once, and once only, I bad the good fortune to take an ostrich's nest al though fresh eggs were not infrequent ly brought In by tbe Arabs.- We ob served with our telescopes two birds standing for some time In the same spot and were Induced to ride toward them. They rapidly scudded off, but on Intersecting their track we turned back and retraced It Instead of continuing a vain pursuit an osincn s iracK is Dy no means easy either to follow or to retrace, for bis stride measures, when he Is at full speed, from twenty-two to twenty eight feet; and the oblong Impression of two toes at so wide intervals affords no very evident track to any eyes less expert than those of a Bedouin hunts man. We retraced the Impression to the spot where we had seen the birds stand ing together, and where the sand was well trodden down. Two Arabs at once dismounted and began to dig with their hands, and presently they brought up four fresh eggs from a depth of about a foot under tbs. warm sand. Ostrich-egg omelet we always found a most welcome addition to our desert bill of fare, and a convenient and por table provision, for from the thickness of the shell the eggs keep perfectly sweet and fresh for a fortnight or three weeks.

"Dkab Mas. Pinkham : I cannot find language to express the terrible Buffering I have had to endure. I had female trouble, also liver.stomach, kidney, and blad der trouble. . . .
