Another Kocentrlc Character Gone, There (lied in Masontown, Pa last week, at thb age of 78, an exceedingly eccentric character named flic hard Webber. Ho lived in an old cabin built on the most valuable land in town, and although it was believed that he had considerable money he en joyed none of the comforts of civilized life. One of his whims was to keep two old horses in tho house with him self. They wore always kept in flne order, and ho drove them about town nearly every day in an old wagon with Iwo wheels. Tho harness was made of nope. He used linsocd oil on his bread instead of butter, and his favorite des sert was flaxseed oil and elderberries. An Oversight, i There woe one oversight at the Great Ex position nt Chicago in not having In fuU view, by easy arrangement, some compara tive vital statistics of our own general health as compared with other nations, and our scientific facilities for the relief of human suffering. Then it would have appeared how much wo aro misrepresented and how, even In all those minor ills which beset man kind, wo are mustors of cure and alleviation. In the lino of general ailments which all nations have in common, such as rheumatic or neuralgic afflictions, there is no prompt and permanent cure in tho world the equal of what wo could have shown. Bt. Jacobs Oil, for instance, for this purpose, would have taken any premium that might liavs been offered. It has done so at many of ths great fairs of ihe world. As for tho ordinary casualties of every-dny, busy life, such as sprains, bruises, burns, wounds or cuts, of course it is well known as the superior remedy of tho age. Perhaps doctors dis agree, but the people are never mistaken in knowing what is best. About liidiu.

Wonders of the Pictured Rooks. The rocks are a series of saudslouo bluffs, rising in many places nbruptly out of the water to a height varying from fifty to 200 feet, and are situated about seventy miles west of Whitetish Point, ou the southern shore of Lake Superior. The "Grand Portal" is re garded by the Detroit Free Press as the most imposing feature of the se ries. It is 100 feet high by 168 feet broad nt the wnter level, anil the cliff it is cut in rises above the arch, mak ing the whole height 185 feet. Tho Great Cave, entered through tho por ta], extends back in tho shape of a vaulted room, the arches of the roof built of yellow sandstone and the sides fretted into artistic shapes by storm driven waves. About a mile west is "Sail Rock," a group of detached rocks which hear a resemblance to tho mainsail and jib of a sloop. The height of this is forty feet. The "Chapel" is a vaulted apartment iu the rock. An arched roof of snndstone rests on four columns of rock, so as to leave an apartment about forty feet in diam eter and the same in length ; within are a pulpit and altar. West a short dis tance from the chapel is Chapel River, which falls over a rocky ledge fifteen feet high in the lake. Miner's Castle, five miles west of the Chapel and just west of Miner's Biver, is the western end of the Pictured Rooks, and resem bles an old turreted castle with an arched portal. The height of the ad vanced mass in which the Gothic gate way may be recognized isabout seventy feet, and the height of the main hall forming the background is 140 feet. An Eastern Dainty. The Chinese are certainly a strange people; strange in appearance, cus toms and tastes.

A maid of honor to Queen Victoria receives 81500 a year and has thirteen weeks o* attendance at court. Brocades in pompadour effect aro extremely pretty and bid fair to retain their popularity during the winter and spring.

The Queen of Greece is president of a sisterhood devoted to the reforma tion of criminals, and she personally visits prisoners. Five hundred and two of the 022 students at Wellesley College have put themselves on record as favoring woman's suffrage. Chinese women devote very littlo superfluous time to hair dressing.

Cream-colored crepo de Chine com bined with fuchsia-red velvet forms a very pretty theatre waist, and another dainty creation is pink crepon made up with black velvet and jetted bands.

Tho football game found more en thusiastic champions in tho regular young ladies' boarding schools than in other schools and colleges where tho students aro engrossed in their work for academic degrees. Good taste and sense seem evident this season. The bonnets are small, compact and neat. The hats are mod erate as to brim, small in crown and curving gracefully to suit the form and pose of the head. Bonnets this winter arc diminutivo affairs indeed, and elderly women who seek in vain for a genuine protection for the head are obliged to take up with tho Empire round hats and have strings added to give them a bonnet effect. Miss Heldegard Werner is the latest musician to appear before Queen Vic toria. Sho is a Swede who studied tho pianoforte at Stockholm and tho violin in Paris. She is also a news paper woman, writes musical news for several publications and wears a gold medal conferred on her by King Oscar. A new school of medicine for women has been started at St. Peterburg, Rus sia, to which tho state contributes 15,000 rubies nnuually'. Tho course at tho school lasts four years, but students are expected to work from one to three years as well in hospitals for women and children before pre senting themselves for the final exam ination. Tho square, heavy wedding ring is a thing of the past, and a slender oval, with as little alloy in the gold as is consistent with a good wearing quality, is now chosen, and it is better taste as well as more comfortable than the heavy circlet, which spreads the lingers apart and perceptibly weighs the hand. The Princess of Wales, who is ex tremely fond of her garden at.

Two kinds of stitching are used on the cloth hats, the heavy cord stitch ing running around the crown or brim, and the lighter stitching following er ratic all-over designs.
