People Forget All Differences and Unite in Paying La6t Tribute to the Dead Sovereign and the Crown Prince Streets Through Which Procesfon Passed Packed by Or- I derly Crowds?Young King Brave. (by Associated Press) LISBON, Feb. 8?Wllih the churcn bells toiling continually, the bodies Of the murdered King Carlos, and his son. Luis, the crown prince, in two I chariots shrouded 111 black velvet and l drawn by fen hooded horses, were escorted by a glitte)lug funeral |>a geanl today across Lisbon u> the j Portugese pantheon, and laid beside j their ancestors of the Bragnusw) dyhas. Seven hours elapsed from the time the foreign princes and the special ambassadors of all the powers gath? ered at -.he palace for the ceremony there, until three salutes of 21 guns and Cree volleys of musketry an? swered by the British warships M the harbor, announced that the last rlt^s were over. Not a single untoward incident marked the lust, act of Portugal's tragedy. The great, outpouring or people along the lino .of procession was noteworthy. They packed the pavements, crowded the windows and choked the side streets. While evi? dences of deep and profound sorrow teemed to be absent, many stood with uncovered heads, and nowhere was actual disrespect -shown. The day was one in which the Por- j lugese people united In prayer for their murdered king and prince. Oppression, real or fancied, the re? striction of liberty, the hitter clash of party, sinister Intrigue and mer? ciless vengeance seemed all to have been abandoned for the moment at lea! as the nation prepared for the funeral. Troops guarded the streets and were massed in numerous parks und plan? us along the route; all shops and cafes wree closed and shutters cov? ered the windows of tile ministerial buildings In l:he Pral do Comiuerco, where the king and crown prince were assassinated a week ago. Youthful King Was Brave. It was n grief stricken palace; hearts were turp*"1, In pity and strong men shaken at I .ie scene in Use pri? vate apartments where the special embassies were received. Neither Queen Anteile, nor the dowager Queen .Marin Pia, were to be seen, but King Manuel carried himself as bravely as be might, though he was deadly pale and on the verge of a complete breakdown when the or? deal w?.s AnlsUed. Tin Duke of Connaught, Prince Bltel Frederick and Infante Fernado, In addition lo Verbal condolences, presented personal letters from their sovereigns to the king. who was greatly touched aj these messages. Tears that wer? nlmoBt'constantly In Ills eyes, several times overflowed. When the messengers and special repreeiitatlves of foreign countries ChtO ed the chapel for the last brief service, tho king remained behind, Neltehr ho nor the queens followed tho cortege to the cathedral. The Violent death of his fathr. it is ex? plained, absolved King Manuel from conforming to the tradition of walk? ing behind the dead to tho grave. Nevertheless his absence, ami the absence of Queen Anfeile nnd the dowager queen has caused universal continent, being generally attributed to othe renrons. Glittering Funeral Pageant. The funeral procession left the Ne CC-lSldanes palace at half past 11 on Its long inarch of over three and a half mib s i.> fourth rode the minHers of the United States, Biu7.ll ami Russia and the papal nuncio. The fifth was oc cupletl by Count d'OroiCSSon and the other luentbers of the Pieneh mis? sion, while the sixth carried the roy? al princes f Oerniany, Spain, (ireat Britain and Italy. Weather Was Perfect. In contrast to the somber occasion i the day commenced wKh glorious weather, I'he sun shilling brightly ami I the air tilled witli the slow pealing of ebu'eh hells. Messengers were seen pnslng through the streets bear? ing wreaths and lloral pieces. Some of these were remembrances from foreign kiims and rulers that were being sent to the palace. Clarions sounded down the prin? cipal avenues announcing the ap proaen?cf the regiments which later followed the funeral procession.

Young Folks STORY OF A GOOD KING. How the Sowing of Kind Deed* Re? turned Bountiful H?rvtit. Badly tho king looked out of tho casement Beyond UJui stretched his kingdom- n kingdom that had formerly seemed fair to hhn. hut which now, echoing ?s it was with the cries of nil his people, appeared In his eyes to Ik? uurlh nothing. Hu would gladly have glveu the vast lands to one who would relieve the sufferings Of his subjects. For a severe plague had fallen upon the kingdom, and to make matters worse there hud come n dreadful fam? ine. Disease lurked everywhere, nor was there anything to eat. Again the king groaned: "Not one kind deed have 1 done for my people. Oh. If 1 could only help them!" As ho spoke there appeared before him a beautiful fairy. Touching the king ou the arm, she hade him follow her. She led him from the castle out Into tho fields. And, lo. where the ground had lain waste without a growing thlug there now rose vast Ileitis of the grain, the golden stalks swaying In the wind. "You have done many kind deeds, O king, and tho care you have taken of every living thing has not boon un? observed by us, for every grain which you so generously threw from your window to the hungry birds a grain has been sown for you by the fairies. It Is now rlpo for harvest. Ho feed your people." The king marveled and was glad for the sake of,his subjects. And the famine disappeared, nntl the disease vanished, and all lived happily there? after under their gootl king.- Philadel? phia North American. DROPS OF RAIN. Why Moiature In Air Tokos Globular Shape When It Falls. Why does lain fall In drops and not In n sheet of water? How many boys and girls can answer that question 1 Perhaps those who cannot would like to have the explanation, which can l?ost be given by telling llrst what rain Is, says the Chicago News. The air contains nt all times more or less wa? tery vapor, which Is evaporated from the ocean, lakes and rivers by the beat of the sun. When tho tempcraturu of the air falls below n certain point that Is to say, when the air loses a eertalu amount of its heat?this vapor condenses Into water again. Tho particles of water nre quite Small, ami as they form in the air they begin to fall of their own weight, and In falling tbej meet und unite with other particles, thus forming drops. If the cloud from which they come be near the earth, the drops nre larger than when It is higher, for there is less air resistance to be met In fall? ing. The hlglier the cloud, then, on general principles, the more the drops nre broken up. But even if water ever formed In sheets or In a body up In the air, which It dues not, It could not possibly reach the earth In that form, for the rcslstsnco offered by the nlr makes it break up Into drops. That Is the prin? ciple of the shot tower, by the way. Melted lead Is dropped from an ele? vated point, and It breaks Into shot bo fore It reaches the ground. An Interesting Undue.

Ho Rhnll act under the direction of Oto pontmnster-general and bold the Same relation that a superintendent of a rnllroad holds to a railroad pres? ident and directorate. Tho examiners found that ixilltlcs too often Interfered with the syste? matic running of the department and that tho Ueadn were seldom In office long before being rotlred or trans? ferred. i*? tWaf It has also been found tbnt there Is congestion at Washington caused by too much centralization. For in irtamv, it Is necessary for a mall bag broken on an Alaska route to Iv transported tho entire distance to tho Mississippi Valley before It can be tnoitdod. Tho commission proposes the formation of divisions with full power to administer to offices within their boundaries, said boundaries not nooosnarlly to follow state lines, Tho auditing concern found the bookkeeping carried on In an unsatis? factory manner, although accurate, tho accounts In a great many In? stances bolng duplicated.

Oeorgo Washington, and not An? drew Jackson, was tho real originator of tho doctrine that "to tho vlctori belong tho spoils," according to the discovery made by Mayor Reyburn of this city, who is an outspoken op? ponent of the clvll-servlcu-reform system. In making this announce? ment today, tho mayor quoted from n letter of tho first President to his secretary of war, Timothy Pickering, dated September 27. 1795, In whloh Washington declared that the- appoint? ment to an important office under his administration of any man not In sympathy with its principles would b> political suicide.

WASHINGTON, D. C, Feb. K.? Suddenly today the whole Republican ?residential situation; especially In Mow York and In the South, lias be? come involved in a perfect naze of perplexity. In New York the state ?f Iff airs Is declared by prominent New Yorkers, some of then) friendly to 'be President and some of Hein friendly to Qovcrnor HuRheB, as the 'ugliest" the party hns known since he Kolger candidacy of 1882. In the South It hns suddenly been Uncovered that the feeling against ?secretary Taft Is such that there will bo contesting delegates from practi? cally every congressional district. This Is said to have been shown for 'ho first time today in Florida, where 'he first state delegates were elected, and what hnpitcncd In Florida, it In laid, will tra duplicated through the entire Southern section. New Yorkers have been looking af? ter their own troubles hero today, and ?nost of them have been runulng around In circles. The White Hons" lias been one central point of Inves? tigation and Interrogation, and the White House does not seem to have accomplished very much In thn wny of clenrlng the political atmosphere. 1 Curiously enough one of the chief points of Irritation now is the propos? ed appointment of .lohn F. O'Brien, formerly secretary of state, to the of? fice of collector of the jKirt at Platls burg. Walter H. WJtherhoo, a friend of Secretary Taft, is being displaced, and, oddly enough, the effort of Repre? sentative Malby to put O'Brien In this Important place Is causing a tremen? dous upheaval In state politics. This notwithstanding the fact that Mr. O'Brien and Mr. Malby, bin sponsor, aro for Tnft. There hns been a great protest all through northern New York against Mr. O'Brien, nnd It was said at one moment today that Senator l'lntt was for O'Brien and that Senator l)epew was against him, and the next mo? ment tbnt Senator Bepcw wnB for O'Brien and eSnator Blatt against him. The best information that could be obtained was that both Senators were opposed to the appointment of Air. O'nrleu and that It would not be made. This is only one Instance of ninny showing the extremely sensi? tive character of the New York po? litical cuticle. One point of difficulty seems to be the efforts to control tho naming of tho delegates at large. The President It Is said. Insists that Governor Hughes shall have an unqualified In? dorsement. Rut who are to go to Chi? cago as delegatcs-at-lurge and carp thlB Indorsement into effect? Shul' tho delcgutes-nt-large be Prank S Black, Secretary Root, Secretary Cor telyou and I-cvl P. Morton?

Woman'sWorld MME. TETRAZZINI. The Greatest 8oprano Singer In the History of Grand Opera. .Mine. Laisa Tctrssxlnl, who made luch a hit nt Coycnt Garden, London, during thi? opera season f mo? that site was hnlled as having n voice or l-eatittful ?8 that of Paul nnd a dm- i malic power superior to Melon's, was yugagcd nt nn enormous salary by Os ear Elammerstelo to sing at his Man? hattan Opera House In New York. The rival New York uuinngers. Messrs, Courted and Hnmmersteln, discovered her before Loudou took her up, but through a misunderstanding rhe sign? ed contracts with both the American Impresarios. Later Mr. Uaminerstcln succeeded In securing her. Sh? Is a ?Ister-ln-lnw of signer Cntnpanlnl, I ho great conductor. Like t'aruso. she bus been her own Instructor In the singing art When asked how she learned tier art the great singer replied: "You ask me how to learn Kinging": Well. well. I should have to write you a big book, not a short article like this, and then perhaps you would lie none the wiser, for no one can learn to slug ns people loam to play games. ??In the very iir>t place, it is a gift, for If yon wish to Ih? a singer must have a voice. Everybody Is not born with u voice, and home people who are have not the second vital qualification Of a singer. I allude to what 1 can only describe as 'heart.' voice and the heart to go with It ah, thero you have the complete ?Inger! "But bow often does ibis occur? I have heard so many vocalists with Wonderful, pure, perfectly trained sud that ont on amassing woidly wealth or going along with the madding crowd iu the pa lbs of folly: "This Is not Lord Rothschild's home! He Is traveling to eternity!" A Helping Hand. When the foreign missionary had concluded bis talk, be made the usual appeal for contributions, however small, says Success Magazine. Coming up to the platform with several others, a small boy mounted to the level of the lecturer and, hastening toward bint, snld: "Please, sir, 1 was very much Inter? ested In your lecture, and?and"? "Co on, my little man," said the mis? sionary encouragingly, "You want to help in the good work?" "Not exactly, sir," said the boy. "What I want to kuow Is, have you any foreign stamps.you don't waut?" A Chocolatiere. A chocolatiere Ls distinctly a wom? an's function, frequently taking the place of afternoon tea. Tho refresh? ments all have chocolate In some form. There Is hot chocolate with whipped cream to drink, chocolate Ice cream, chocolate cakes with white frosting or white cakes with chocolate frosting and chocolate bonbons. As chocolate ls apt. to become cloying when no other flavor Is employed, the sandwiches uru preferably of plain bread and butter, while olives, stuffed or plain, and snlt cd nuts lit In well with the chocolate scheme. To Brighten Paint. Kitchen paints will soon acquire a shabby, dull look from the frequent cleaning that Is necessary In this room. The use Of soap only Increases the ditllculty, especially If the paints are v a ruts bed. A good plan Is to l?oll OUC pound of bran in a gallon of water for an hour, then wash the paint with tills bran water, aud it will not only be kept clean, but bright and glossy. A Dress Shield Hint. It ls uot generally known, but worth while remembering, that If dress shields are dusted with a good toilet powdor liefere putting on the waist the result will be n refreshing feeling and a prevention of the disagreeable odor which usually attaches Itself to shields lu winter weather. This method Is particularly valuable when one suffers from (haling of the skin If time were represented by u wo? man Instead of a man. then; wouldn't be all this birthday fuss, anyway not at the age of 1008. She'd keep still abont It or cut off a thousand years. Let no niuu laugh when a woman sharpens a pencil. Instead let him re? member those serious moments when be has tried to sew on n button. A pinch of salt takeu before meals stimulate* digestion. MENU COLLECTING FAD. Mltl Bi.ttolph G.wi. tht Mo?t ValuabU ut Dinner Cards. Menu COtlCCtlUK i1- IxVOIIling quite II i foil. The young girl Or luntron who I -Views the largctM collection of menus 'frout tho aristocratic hotels, pub He banquets, private functions, com- I ptlmentnry dinners', etc., is the envy I ?f nil bur associate*. When ihn own ??r of tiii- souvenirs has been a partici? pant at the occasions symbolised by ibo menus and can relate Instances concerning thetn she N all tb prouder of her collection, as she has reason to be. There Is a disposition to exchange menus and roltcet tbeui by any meant possible. Soire even go lo the ex- Iromea of purchasing them from In- vlted guests and from hotels, while others buy them from the printers. I It Is told that on one occasion n little brother was sent to the hallway of a leading hotel where a stylish banquet was In progress for the purpose of picking up a menu that might chance I to tic dropped. I The greatest collection of tho kind I III the world Is possessed by Miss Krank P.uttolph. It Is known ns the "Buttolpb collection."* nnd so large nnd I valuable has It grown that It tins found a place In the Astor branch ?f the New York Public library. It In? cludes nearly 15,000 different bills of fare, gathered from nearly every coun? try In the world. Many of them are connected with royalty of different na? tions of Europe. The collection Is classified and Indexed, showing tho result of un enormous amount of la? bor, aside from the work of making the collection. It Is Interesting lint only from blstorlcul nnd artistic points of view, but also to the student of gastronomy nnd to those concerned In j tlte prices of foods In different COUn- tries nnd In different sections of the] countries. It also gives an Insight Into tho manners and customs of the dlf i fereut peoples, Thus It would lie dif? ficult to estimate the value this col? lection will prove to people of a fu tore age. What to Eat, A CULINARY WRINKLE. The Art of Properly Cooking a Vir? ginia Ham. I Select it bam, not too large, that bus been cured ut least two years. Itomove fbe sacking; scrub the hum with S stlir brush In cold water till perfectly clean. Then put the ham to soak; skin side up, In enough cold water to cover It to the depth of four or five inches, leav? ing it to soak twelve hours, changing water once. I In the uiuriiin-; remove the bum from the water; wipe it thoroughly cleau with a course, damp cloth; put It in a big bam boiler, skin side up. over a slow tire, with enough cold wa? ter to cover It several Inches; add a large Spanish onion, cut iu halves, u large Mexican pepper, three bay leaves, a big lemon cut in halves, three tsbto Hpobnfuls of tarragon vinegar ami two tabtesp?onfills of cider vinegar. Cover tho kettle "nd let the hum cook very slowly till the tint bone may be easily removed by just touching it with u fork. Let the bam get nearly cold in the water in which it was boil? ed; thou carefully lift it out. place It In n drtplilng pun. remove the skin care? fully, score the fnt over tho top Iu dln mond shapes, sprinkle With sitgnr, place it In a moderate oven and let It brown over the top. Then put ft where I ft will cool". Do not cut the ham until the second day after It has lieeu cooked. BEAUTY HINTS. Long, straggling halm which give an appearance of roughness to the eye? brows muy be temporarily removed with tweezers or permanently by elec? trolysis. if the bah' Is hopelessly oily, good results can he obtained by powdering it occasionally. This must be carefully I dene, us If the powder Is allowed to got on the scalp Instead of being brushed thoroughly on the hair it will clog the pores. Not enough powder must lie used to show, only sufficient to absorb the olllm-ss. A dry skin will chap this weather unless massaged often with a good skin food or cold cream. The massage stimulates the oil glauds to perform their nnturul werk, while the cold cream supplies what natural oil Is lacking. The face should always be j carefully dried after washing It, as the water Is drying to the fnee. No dressing stand lr. complete with? out half a lemon put there fresh every day. A few drops of the Juice much diluted makes an agreeable mouth wash; rubbed over the face, followed by an application of cold cream. It Is I bleaching. Kor ihn mills it is excellent and Is used l-y thrusting the finger tips I into the pulp. They should lie washed I at once and then lightly rubbed with cold cream. Stringing Beads. Many valuable bends arc lost simply because they have been strung on silk or waxeil linen threads. If you wish to have them properly strung, then get one of the thinnest catgut guitar strings and fasten them on It. They nro safe, Indued, If the ends are se? curely fastened with the necessary gold clasps. This Is the way jewelers string their valuable bends. Aging Heroines. "Sweet seventeen" is not much use as a chnmcier lu a Story which tries to deal lu nny real way with human nature. You need a "sensible thirty five" am) experience, nnd that is'\Thy the nge of the heroine has grown so remarkably. It bus not na yet gone over forty, but one never knows when It may do that.?Rook Monthly. UNLUCKY THIRTEEN. ?uperitillous Paar ?I This Number Dates, Back to Norse Mythology. it ks nWunliy ?tuied that tho super itlUouM objection to kitting thirteen at a i.i hh' ii. Christian countries was based ou the fact of the last supper, when Christ and his twelve disciples sat down to eat together Immediately before the saviour was seised by his ruemles. But lu the Norse mythology, which H lieved to have magic power, ami a like fuuey has tieeu found lu other Indian tribes. I I Among the ignorant blacks of the south the fear of this number in any connection is actually absurd, but whether they have borrowed this idea from iheir Imperfect, knowledge of iTirlsttuUlly or whether It is a survival of the voodoo worship of their ances? tors it Is Impossible to say; for thu su? perstition has a strong bold every? where, oven among those who Should know belief than to be swayed by it III Italy It Is never used lu making up the numbers of the favorite lotteries. and In Paris It Is omitted in number? ing tin; houses on the streets.?House-! keeper. j SELECTING A BOOK. j Not a* Easy as It Sometimes Seems to Be. I It seems that every one should know how to seleet n book for a present, but If you stop tu think about It It is not an easy matter at all. In the first place, one lias to be a very good Judge of line literature 10 make u proper se lection, anil It must be something which, If net of Individual taste, will be exactly proper for the recipient. There was a young boy who hud a wonderful fondness lor liook*. Ho wits not a boy In a position to buy good books or get'Ute liest reading 'mutter. Oho day a lady sn\v htm reading n cheap detective story, aud she Inquired if be liked to read. He admitted his fondness tor books. Rhe straight way offered him the use of her Idirnry. ?Ith the privilege of com lug anil going at his will to take or return a hook. It Is truly remarkable what that little act has done for the tsay, for It has taught lilin to love the best literature, lie Is n good Judge of the best works, and I he Instruction received has been an education. Olio feels sorry for the person who Is the recipient of "r.nclle" ?ben the owner I has no fondness for poetry. One pcf sun might prefer books written by old masters; others would like something of present fiction, and there Is no bet? ter way to tiud out what is wanted than to bring up the subject. Im tint purchase ponderous works for men or women who du not have ponderous thinking equipments, und do not send a shallow book to a strong lulndcd render or Ihe recipient will think It is your choice of what Is par excellence in literature.

Shadow ins i? a good Kaut? for the ?arly morning or lulo afternoon, when ihe shadows are long and clear, says the Washington Star. It may he piny tl In any clear spare where there are one or two trees or a house to afford Shadows, for the shadows are the goal." where thu players are safe, and the child who Is "It" Instead of tagging the others tries tu step on their shadows as they run from one shade to another. It Is great fun. for unless ,vuu are careful your shadow Is apt to hob up unexpectedly and will be slepped on before you know It. We played shadow tag very successfully ?in a roof garden, where two sheds gave us the necessary shade nud an open BpnCU of suit In between made the shadows of the runners very tlls iluct. In cold weather, when you need exercise and don't know exactly what to play. II Is a good Idea to run races usd let one of the children Dud prizes for the racers. The prizes may lie any? thing she flndS at baud (tie more ridiculous the better-but It makes the ran- more Interesting to have them, particularly If they are presented with speech. It Is well to lei nil Ibe play era Intro prizes, though of course the winner receives the llrst prize. The Deadly Centiued. Travelers in tropical binds say (lint the sieht of a full grown ccntlpcd is enough to nlfCCt the strongest nerves, says the Uhlcago News. Ten to twelve Inches is the average length, though larger ones have been seen. It Is said that the common hen is its most dan? gerous enemy. She will attack It with delight apparently and sometimes swallow It, bend llrst. without killing It The cat bunts It, but is cnreful never to put her head near It. She has a trick of whirling it around and around on (he floor so rapidly ns to I stupefy It, and then when she m-es n I good eh.uii e she w 111 strike It dead with her claws. There are supurstl- I thins about the ccntlpcd that have a good elfeet In diminishing Its tribe. One of them Is Hint If you kill one you will bo aure to receive money soon, and another Is that even to dream of killing one Is good luck. Three Thinge. Three things Is a game played by any number of persons sitting in n row or circle. The ouc who begins gives to his left hand neighbor the names of three things, beginning with the ittuie letter, which the latter must then connect in some way und then give three other things to the next In line. When all)' one Is unable to con? nect the names he receives ho must pay a forfeit, and the words are pass? ed Along to the next player. Thus the llrst player gives "Hon, ham, heavi? ness." Tlic second says, "ThO ben tried to cut the hum und found that heaviness in Iba crop resulted. I give door, dinner nud duty." Tin; third says, "1 opened the door to go in to dinner when I hud to go back to ful? fill a forgotten duty." nud then he gives three words In turn, and so the game goes around.

A pumpkin wonder bull Is a novelty and affords much amusement at a child's parly. It consists of n big bull of yellow yarn to look like a pumpkin, lu which are concealed little gifts brownie dolls, stickpins, etc. The end of the yarn Is fastened to a green idem, on which it is wound as fust as It is unreeled to prevent u tangle.

SKETCHED FROM LIFE BIlC was lull mid willowy anil white, one of those soft, purring women who. like n cat.

Her bear I never throbbed during such pro leedlngs. she was so accustomed to thein. Wut gently, us it always did. like the pendulum or a clock. Miss Daly was the lielle of an Irish garrison (own. ami the nfileers or lint lufautry regiments quartered there wen- generally poor, ir she had eared for a poor man she never would have mauled him, for she hived ease and luxury bolter Hum anything else. Ily and by there came to the town n regiment thai hud a moderately rich, unmarried major in It. He was not young or handsome or fascinating, lull Just a plain, honest, good iiulurcd fellow of I lie ordinary British type. He followed in the footsteps of bis predecessors and fell a Victim to the wiles of Hie Illy of the garrison town, und as he was an eligible mau her par? ents persuaded her to marry him. She was nothing loath, as she thought of the dresses that would henceforth sei off her while loveliness. Arter her marriage she tllrled as much us before; her drawing room was tilled with men every afternoon, and there was always a gallant in at? tendance of an evening. Major Deal son, much annoyed at such proceed? ings, endured them for several mouths and then spoke out In remohstrnuco, but Ills beautiful wife Shrugged her lovely shoulders and paid no heed. Then he ordered her to desist. "BUt how am 1 to ninuso myself':" pleaded she. not the least milled in temper and raising her great bine eyes, suffused with tears. In pathetic questioning to bis face. "As other wives do." he answered, striding up and down the room In great agitation; "with your household duties, visits to your friends nnd with sewing." The situation was becoming tense when the regiment was ordered to a cathedral town in England. The ma? jor hoped that the beautiful place and Its Inhabitants anil life would Interest Ills wife and the attentions of the ladles belonging to the good old fash? ioned county families Batter her and divert her attention from herself. He was mistaken. Every one said, "flow eccentric that beautiful Mrs. Donlson Is'.'' and la? mented that she seemed to be fading away like n passing ilowor, At length the surgeon of the regi? ment look it upon himself to enlighten the major upon the stale of bis wile's health and' urge him to allow her to visit her native place In the hope that old scenes and friends would revive her. "I eau Olid nothing the mutter with her constitutionally und believe she is merely suffering from nostalgia." said the doctor. When Major Delllson told his wife the doctor's opinion, she nils cd her eyes in meek appeal for leave to go, and be bad not the heart lo re? fuse her. "Hut remember, Edith, there must be no lllrtlng nor must you go to bail? or parlies." "Very well, dear," she said sweetly. "I promise." After two mouths, hearing that his j wile had recovered her health, the ma? jor thought lie wodld look her up and procured leave of absence for the pur j pose. He arrived at the garrison town late one evening and went straight to bis fnlher-in hiw's house, lie found the squire and bis wife dozing In big armchairs on either side of the dining room fireplace. They seemed disturbed at his sudden appearance and told It 1 in the rest ot the family were at a military ball.

Fortuities sen In tills country wood Is so common; that the term "precious" hardly' so ms applicable to any native Bpe cles, and yet a single log of Ameri can walnut, eli feet long, when re? cently cut up into veneers brought live hundred and twenty-five dollars, ami another only slightly larger aoltl for six hundred dollars. The dealers In precious woods In Now York em? ploy experts to travel through the woods on the slopes of the Blue Hidge and Cumberland Mountains to Inspect and purchase the linest spe? cimens of American figured walnut. All of these trees are cut lip into ve- mers and sold at twenty cents and more a foot. The demand for precious woods is increasing, and the supply comes from all parts of the world. Besides figur? ed walnut, thi;: country furnishes such costly woods as figured birch, bird's eye maple, curly nsh, and quartered oak. All of the.se have- born made ex tn mely valuable by the veneer ma? chine. This machine cuts a log Into slices ranging from one-sixtieth to three-eighths of an Inch In ?tbtcknestT. The veneers hro placed In cases or flitches, five hundred sheets to each one. and sold to furniture makers, piano manufacturers, and cabinet ex? perts at prices ranging from three hundred to two thousand dollars. A log of fancy wood worth fifty dollars In the rougih '.-foro the veneer ma? chine was invented would bring to? day live to ten times that sum. Some woods are so precious that they sell by the pound Instead of by hoard measurement. French burl brings from fifteen cents a pound Up, ami a single log has sold In New York for twenty-five hundred dollars. It Is1 curious to note thnt the value of this wood depends upon the wart or knot which forms on the tree when young, and that the protuberance is supposed id be caused by the sting of an in- j sect, The twisted burl produces in! lime strange combinations of lines I which take a high polish. A more expensive wood than Iho French burl is a rare wood that comes from iiie const of Africa and Is com? monly known as nmboy. This fre? quently seih? at twenty to twenty eight cents a pound. It Is a reddish Itrown wood. Irregularly veined, and Is held In high esteem for inlaying. Even ebony is sold by weight, com? manding something llko seventy dol? lars a ton. Fortunately lignum vltne Is not thus dliposed of by weight. This Is the heaviest ns well n.i tough? est wood known to the trade; it will outlast l-Tass, and Is tougher than many grades of rteel. A stick of the wood weighs nearly as much ns lead. It Is In groat demand for warship bearings, and usually the shafts of Hard Wood the Immense machinery wear out be? fore the lignum vltae bearings. The rarest of all preclo.is woods is said to be the cnlamaniler, n tree which grows on the Island of Ceylon, where It Is held In reverent nwe. At one time tho trees were quite plenti? ful there; but only about ninety spe? cimens remain, and all these nre num? bered and jealousy guarded by the government. The ealamander trees are so precious that when live pieces of furniture made of the wood were exhibited at the Chicago World's Fair they were Insured for two hundred and fifty thousand dollars; but elabo? rate and skilled workmanship of course entered largely Into this valu? ation. The wood is brilliantly rich and mottled In veinlng when polished: but Its almost priceless value Is duo a good deal to Its rarity. Anyone who could raise a grove of calamau d matter if it should' be less than nn Inch in length. Now even the sawdust of the rnro woods Is valued, for It Is employed, hi making ilyea, chemical coloring matter, and even medicines. The I sawdust of many of the woodH Is also used In cleaning furs, that from the light colored woods being In special I demand for cleaning white furs. 1 lloseworvl from Bahal, white ma? hogany from the west couat of Mexl-J co. nnd sntinwood from Santo Do nilllgO are Other jireclous woods that are cut Into thin veneers and sold by the pound or foot. Cocobolo nnd gr-.inadllla are woods much in demand for making knife bundles. Spanish cedar Is still an Important wood In Iho trade, and also anakewood. which U vnluable becau.ee of its peculiar markings. Turkish boxwood is popu? lar for wood engrnving: but nmnrllla Is the best for fine artistic work. It Is a rare and beautiful wood, with many special marks of excellence. Wood highly polished and cut up Into veneers can be kept for centuries. Tb" process of polishing fills the pores and makes the wood practically Im? pervious to climatic changes. In the ancient tonil'i and temples of Rgypt wood used (n connection with stone? work hns 'been uncovered which is supposed by nrehoologlst to tie at Ip.i 1 four thousand years old. Wood proprrly preserved increases in value for certain purposes by age. Tins the best violins gre made of old timber recovered from torn down bu hliugs. A manufacturer of musi? cal instruments secured an option on the preserved timbers in an old dis? mantled building In New York nnd pa'd double Iho price offered In the op/ n market for such wood. The tim? ber was then utilized for making mus Ical Instruments, nnd proved In the end a rich Investment. Where Machinery Comes In. "he veneer mnchlne has economized In he use of the rar? woods and In cffontally made them more durable. 'Pli thin sheets when glued together In anols do not crack, warp, or twist. Th i grains of the diffennt sheets are pin *od In opposite directions, to tha: wli in the article Is finished It Is Im po, alblo to split it. Without this pro cose. It would be impossible to make n perfect billiard table or piano cover that, would withstand violin! climatic ehr iges. .The interior trim ,,f houses, sh'-is. railroad carp, and furniture Is ma le In the same way. Thin, veneefcra of softer woods are responsible for the Innumerable boxes, biifk'ts. and packages which come to our doors every day with bulter, veg1 otablec and berries.

It was sold In this city to Batlafy a note given by Kllra both Tabor, widow or Senator H. A, \V. Tabor, who wim ono of Ute most j picturesque characters of the West. Tho Jewel, valued at 125,000, was' one of a collection that has figured In: Westen, courts more th.au nay slngln| lot In exlstoncc. The entire assort tnent. estimated to lo worth posslhly $50,000. was sold to .lohn Mason, or this city, the only bidder, ror $8.750. Mrs. Tnibor was the second wife of a man whose career read? like a page from some romance. Once a prospec? tor for gold, he discovered the Match? less Mine, near Leadvllle, which made him many millions. He built flue bus? iness blocks In Denver, Including the Tabor block, the Tabor Uraud Opera lionso block and other line buildings. Ho was nn idol of the people. Ho was elected to the United State's Senate ami took a prominent, place in the nf falrj of the W< St. Prom Mansion to Cabin. Then reverses came. He lost his fortune. His wife died and he mar? ried again, and then, when he reached the depths', he passed away. Hla sec? ond wife, with the estato all gone, the Jewels pawned and sold and nothing Ii ft the former splendor, now lives wlih her only daughter In a log cabin near Leadvllle, close to the famous I mine which made the senator's wealth. The collect ion of jewels which has pa<t?ed out of the bands of the Tabor estate was part of the glfl? made by the senator to his second wife. Tho I Isabella diamond' was the principal 'one In the collection. It wag brought I to Denver front New York with oftl eln) papers, which authenticated its Ihistory, and was transferred to tho I Tabor collection through a local Jew? elry house. That was twenty yearn I ago. Since then it has been the sub j, cl Of almost constant litigation. Among the jewelrv In the collection wns a belt valued at $5,000, which was the only one of tho kind In (be world. It wan made In almost perfect Imita? tion of n big snake and was of elgh j teen k?rat gold. The two eyes cen? ts! sted of two brilliant diamonds, the i (ongue was made of sparkling rubles and the tail was formed of beautiful J green emeralds. The bell was- made I of hundreds e?f pieces, so Joined to? gether that it could bo colled and placed around iho bodv with ns much J ease as if made of leather, The other la Jewel Sold. Jewels In the collectlun consisted of earrings, bracelet^ and loouo dln uionds. The collection wns pawned wlib tho First National Hank of thin city, through Henry Powell, to secure ft note for $25,000 owing Powell by the Tabor estate. It was sold by Powell to satisfy the note and In lhat way got Into the vaults of the bank. Ef? forts wore made to ?eil the gems pri? vately through a commission appoint? ed for that purpose. This resulted In suits being brought. In court to have them sold at auction. Driven by Penury. Tho Tabor cstnte at that time was considerably In debt and the widow was meeting with the first of the re? verses which finally completely en? gulfed her. The popularity of the late senator caused steps to be taken by his .friends three years ago to settle the claims. Mm. Tnlior was enabled to retain tho Jewell,-. One year ago she was In want and she pawned them With the Continental Trust Company to secure n loan of $9,G00. This loan she was unable to take lip, and the pre-Bent. tsile followed. I A pitiful climax to the tragedies of i the Tabor family was presented when the sale was over. Ah elderly gray haired woman, who declined to give her name or reveal her Identity other than to Bay that she wn* a close per? sonal friend of Mrs, Tabor, was pres? ent to watch the disposal of the gems. At the conclusion of tho sale sho mo? tioned the purchnser to one aide and with a quivering voice asked him not i to sell the smallest gem in tho eollec i tlon for a while. It was Mrs. Tabor's engagement ring, which had gone j wlih the others, and sho wanted an j opportunity to save It Is possible.

SUNDAY. february t?. 190S. _ THE8E FORECASTERS PICK HUGHES. Tho Washington Post, which \y.\? established quite n reputation as n po? litical prophet, Is out with a forecast that the IKopubllcnn nomination for President will go to Governor Hughes, of Now York. The forecast printed by tho Washington Post Is made by three1 export und Im partial observers and the tables compiled by them are about the most complete and elaborate ever published by a newspaper. They hear every evidence of having had much tlmn and careful consideration. Following Is n, summary of the ta? bles: Tail will on tho first ballot lack about 150 of the nomination; his total may lucronso In subsequent ballots, but not Bulllctently to nominate hint. Hughes will be 125 or more behind Taft on tlrst ballot, but will Increase on every ballot until nominated. On no ballot will a majority of any candidate's vote be twnstorred to Taft. Tho candidate who, although bis vote may bo large to begin with, will lose votes the quickest Is Cannon. When a majority of Cannon's vote goes to Hughes, following a break? away of some Cannon vot?s to Taft, the Pennsylvania vote will follow the bulk of the Cannon' vote to Hughes, on the snnio ballot. When that movement Is seen, the Foroker voto will go to Hughes. The Fairbanks and Lu Follotte Votes will endure the longest, but If ?tho balloting is prolonged, enough votes to nominate Hughes will go from them. a [Willie the tallies show Hughes' nomination on the fourth ballot, it is quite possible that balloting may be prolonged, the ballots not subutan tlnlly differing, but merely delaying the outcome as bete predicted. The Post's political wiseacres feel satisfied With their work and believe it is absolutely correct with the ct c.option or the figures pertaining to the South. The Post intimates that the vote of many of the delegates from tho Southern states la very lia? ble to be cluing, d after the delegates arrive in Chicago. It points out that in 1891; Mr. Hanno captured the na tlonal committee, and by its aid also seized the larger portion of the South? ern vote for McKinley. There were contested delegations, but the nat/.m al committee reported in favor of the McKinley delegates, the committee on credentials was captured, and the Convention itwelf could not be made to unseat the Hannn delegates. Through them McKinley was nomi? nated. In 1008 an effort Is being made to pipy the anroe game in behalf of Taft H Is alleged that the Southern colored voters object to being kept out ol Republican conventions mid will inaKc i light for conventions In which they can freely participate.

Because of the refusal of distin? guished Democrats of the South and untl-Bryan conference in New York, of which ox-Judgo Morgan J. O'Brien was tho moving spirit, the affair has been called off. but the work Is to go on In other ways, with no measure of success, tu ?pito of the fact thnt it hns the support of two or three of the high tlnance organs of New York. The truth is these organs nro the Inspira? tion of the movement, but as Uio Dem? ocrats of the country know the char? acter of the publication;- their advo? cacy of any man or measuro la re? garded by the Dunocmcy as a stifll clent reason for rejecting him or 1L Some may regard It as regrettable that inch Is the case, but It la a fact nevertheless and a glimmer or it may have prompted Judge O'Brien to call off the dark-lantern pew-wow which was to havo been held at the Waldorf Artoria last Thursday night. "The men In the Democratic par? ty." says former Judge O'Brien, "who wish to see the return to sanity and conversatl8m would make a great mistake and frustrate their own ob? ject by opposing or advocating the candidacy or any one man at the mit sot of their fight." Of course they would, and It. is proposed by adroiter means to repudiate Bryan and all ror which Bryan stands and return the Democratic, pnrty to "sanity and con vcrsntlsm." In other words to brln? It again under the control of high fi? nance, tho corporations aud the inter? ests. To do this the "safe and sane" Kas? tern Democrns who vote the party ticket only when they feel like It, which is not. often, realize that the first thing to be done Is to eliminate Bryan from the leadership of the par? ty I'.v preventing his nomination at Denver. In a desperate effort to ac? complish this they have colled on their Republican nlliea to give out In? terviews and make speeches lu Con? gress Intended to show how Impossi? ble It would be for the Democrats to elect Bryan. Such an Interview was published with ex-Congressman Gros venor a few days ago, and mich a speech w^ns delivered In tho House on Friday la?t by Congressman Kelffer. of Ohio. It Is a rational assumption that if these Republican assistants of tho "8afo and sane" anti-Bryan Demo? crats really believed that the nomina? tion of Bryan meant his overwhelm? ing defeat n.t the polln they would not publicly exploit the foci as a warning to tho Democrats, but on the con? trary would bo active in encouraging bis nomination. Bnl ns r> matter of fact they havo much, re ison to fear that-if Bryan Is the nomln-.e of the Democratic party ho will be elected, bonce they are doing all they can to aid the "safo and sane" New York contingent to prevent the nomination of tho Xnbroskan. They know that Bryan Is the choice of an overwhelm? ing majority of the Democracy, and if he could lie sidetracked for some less .forceful candidate such as Gray, John I son or Daniel, the heart, the hope and tho enthusiasm would bo out out of tho voting musses' of tho Democracy, tu:'? insuring nn easy and complete victory for tl Republican nomine whoovor he might be. Moreover the Republicans who nro giving did und comfort to the anti-Bryan movement know that it is being used mer ly -to pave tho way for another |k>11 of the so-called conservative Democrats who are Identified with the special inter? ests, that In tie event Mr. Bryan should not-secure the nomination him? self the nominee of the Denver con? vention would be a man who Stauda for the principles advocated by him and therefore lust us objectionable to New York conservative Democrats as the Nebraskan. but they bear the fact in mind that such a man would be easier to defeat than Bryan.?New Orleans States.

For stealing $10 ho had already served four years, and there were six years ahead of him. He was sur? rounded by convicts whose crimes bad been much greater and yet hod escaped with much lighter sen'onces. He decided that he would end Iiis life at tlw first opportunity. The next morning he first met Pedee in tho pfison oftlce. The tiny bird whis? tled and chirruped and responded wns sent hero for iten yeans f r attempting to se? cure $10 that was not mine. During the last two years of my S!me in prison I have taught this little bird my stoiy. I hope it will amuse you. Pedoe came upon the '.able that had been made bare for him. His bead drooped, his feathers were limp and ragged, and he walked slowly and with a limp. Now and then no would ?top and rest and his little hill would open us he breathed hard, i "He 13 hungry," explained the con? vict. "Ho Is an honest bird, but he is hungry and ho will steal." Then Pedoe cropt up to a small crib that, had corn In it. He looked about stealthily, like a criminal. Thon he put. his bill through one of 1 the cracks, but before he secured a 'ke'iiai he was: caught. I "Ho comes before a Judge," said tho prisoner; "a judge like the one I who sent me hero." I From tho court room Pedee went to prison. For a time the bird appeared quite cheerful, :hen he became nervous, and finally depressed. He would rest his bill on the piison floor and bo half on one *^de, as If sick. For five minutes he played his part with ouch realism that, not a whisper came I from his spectators. I "Gentlemen," said the trainer, "H took me just two years lo teach him that." i Tho pardon board granted "Mv I crs's" prayer, and he will leave the prison soon, In '.?o expiration of his olghth year. He Is permitted, mean? while, to exhibit his pet's tricks to visitors, to earn money.
