MY VAI.KRTISE. You ask that a loaf of the future, my dear, Shall be turned by this finger of mine; You would know the secrets it holds, my dear, Inscribed by the pen of old Time. 0 seek not the ntare to know, my dear: Bo sure there'll be sorrow and woe, And happiness, too, and joy, my dear, Some rain, some snow, as we go. Would you happier bo if you knew, my dear, That sickness, or sorrow, or pain, Lie in wait for those whom you love, my dear, E'en till death to them may mean gain And if happiness, bright and loyouB, my dear, Is waiting for yon the year throueh, You'll enjoy it tho more, far more, my dear. For not knowing what iB coming to you.

To day is St. Valentine's day, my dear, And Cupid, the rogne, is around; His quivsr is full of arrows, my dear, And many a heart he will wound. Look out for your own true heart, my love, He's seeking that dear heart of thino. Ha, ha! 'tis too late; I knew it, my love, For yon are my own Valentine. Monbob.

A VAI.imSK. From th Swedish. Though I am hero and thou art there, 0 think not thou art far from me, For over all upon my path, 1 enly see and hear but thee. In spring time's glow, in buh's warm light, In windB and waters mnrm ura free. In all things boautiful and bright, I only sea and hear but theo.

In every thought and every dream, In every faeling tender, dear, In all I do or all I seem, 'Tis only thee I see and hear. In heaven and earth there is no powefr, No power that ever keopoth me, Through every day and overy hour, From hearing, seeing always thee. And as two dew drops failing in One lily cup, one pearl must be, Ono blended being, always one In pain and joy must always be. Then not I am far from theo. Though thou art thare and I am here, Where'or on earth my path may bs Thon art and wilt bo always near.

Translated by Libia M. Of course, the basiB of the calculation is utterly unreliable. The management and tho captaincy of the team and also tho effectiveness of the team batteries are among the prominent elements of success or failure. Frank in a letter to the Denver St porter on February 2, says; 1 Gub Abel of the Brooklyn club does not minco matters in hi talk about the 1893 prospects, Mr. Abel's idea is that Now York should be sum manly stopped in its manipulations for Richardson.

He Bays frankly: "I'd sign Ridhardson, aud if he didn't play as he Bhould I'd 'bury' him, as theatrical men 'bury' stars. That's a gamo that has not yet boen tried in base ball, but. may be this season. It would give a summary lesson to tho most inflated of Btars." "But if Richard. son signs with Wasington," says Brunell.

"he'll play good ball. New York ia, causing all the trouble there. New York is the pioneer in such business. As far back aB 1883 the New YorU 1 clnb. by its manipulation of Frederick Dunlap, under reservo to Cleveland, cansed his discontent and incidentally his going to Lucas of toe St.

Lonia union association club." Owen F. Clark, one of the Washington club's players; as also of tho Brotherhood club of Buffalo in 1800, died at the home of bis father, iu this city, last week. Owen was a universal favor, ite and had many friends in Buffalo who will grieve to learn of his death. His position Ul behind tho bat, although he was an excellent ill around man. Frank Brunell considered him one of the most promising playors on the diamond in 1800.

Consumption cut hi career short. A Florida paper says: "Base ball ia boomins in Florida. Jacksonville, Tampa, St. Augustine and Ocala are represented in the state leagne, and the teams will bo strengthened by many Northern professionals in the next few weeks. Amos Rusio, New York's big pitcher, is to join the St.

Augustine club, and CollinB, Ryan and many othor noted players will soon join different teaniB." To these aro to bo added tho Brooklyn and Philadelphia teams, the one at Ocala and the other at Gaiusville, near by. Manager and Captain Ward of the Brooklyn club attended the annual meeting of the New York club recently as holder of $1,000 of stock in the club. At the close of the meeting Messrs. Taleott and Ward were chaffing each other on the comparative strength of the teams of their" respective clubs, and the controversy ended in a challenge on the part of Mr. Taleott to wager Stock against Btock that New York would beat Brooklyn out in the race.

Ward took the bet at once, which was his own share, that Brooklyn wonld beat New York to Talcott'B two shares, that New York would have tho best of Brooklyn in the race, and so it stands. Tho meeting, by the i way, resulted in the election of the following officers of the New York club: John B. Day waB re eleotod president and J. Wix. Spalding troaanrer of the clnb.

The new office of secretary, concerning whicn it waB predicted there would be no little opposition, was created by the election of C. T. White. Mr. White was J.

Charles F. Trotbar, New York, sends a translation, by Mrs. John P. Morgan, of Rubinstein's "Conversation on Music."

Mozart's abaonoe especially shocked the visitor with whom the conversation is held and the world thus learna BnbinBtein's reasonB for preferring to him, and also to oher absentees, such masters as Bach, Beethoven, Schabort, Chopin and Glinka, who were the favored household gods of the Russian musician.

His Groat tielf. Marion iiannna. fashionable establishment, wbon tbe result is di oidodly like the imparted model, as shoppers ought to have been bright enough to have dis covered by this time that many so called imported hats are so only in name. If the tag with the milliner's name and Btreat is missing, the buyer has a right to bo suspicions. First class houses no longer resort to thiB ruse, as some woman are so truly American thay prefer American trimmed hats.

The becomingness of a hat or bonnet depends so much on the arrangement of the hair that a word here on this subject may be acceptable. For round brimmed hats the hair is worn quite low, while for small bonnets tha loose knot, medium high, is found to bo best. As a rule a woman arranges a pleasing style of coiffure and then selects her bonnet to suit. Ribbon bows are used to ornament a high coiffure, the hair being carried back from the forehead, whioh is outlined by short, fluffy ringlets. Treble fillets for evening purposes are worn with the curly knot; where this is unbecoming, the long, narrow coiffure ia tried, beginning well on top of the head with a fanoy comb and extending down the back in a line formed near the neck by lightly placed curls, held by large tortoise shell pins.

One curllonger than the reBt nestles on the neck, which has a pretty effect if the gown is ont with low back. While these short curl bunches or hair pins are often an addition to the coiffure, to judge by ono woman's experience you are never quite sure wbethor they are where you stuck them or are floating away with the wind. After having them handed to her once by someone who sat behind her at a lecture, she takes extra oare to push them in securely, Curls on the head are one thing and curls extended to you in a crowd as a lost belonging are quite another. Among recent receptions was ono givn in New York to Florence Kollock, who was in the city for a few days previous to sailig for Europe on a long and well earned vacation. It was an interesting occasion, made almost wholly so by tho personality of the one receiving this social attention, as in other resuects the affair was a very quiet one.

Florence Kolloek is a graduate of the St. Lawrence theological school and tells with considerable pride that for over seventeen years she haB never been prevented from carrying on her pastoral work by a day's in her opinion ia most emphatic refntation of the old idea, still more or less prevalent, that women are not physioally adapted to a profession. Indeed, siie has several sisters, all of whom have done good work in a profession, one of them being a dentist, auother a doctor. For several years she has had charge of a parish at Englawood, one of the suburbs of Chicago, which Bhe was not allowed to leave until Bhe had picked out her successor. During her ministry Bho has built up two parishes and has made her name honored both among men and women.

She is off no to Europo for pleasure and study, her plans being to take up at Newnham college those branches in which she feels weak, to ride horseback through the byways of Merrie England and to take a trip down the Nile. She is a wide awake, interesting person, with nono of the white necktie, ministerial dmeanor of lomo of her profession, and with no signs in her strong, active figure of the vast amount of work done the lat four years. Were it not for her gray hair, which 1'ormB snoh a striking contrast to her dark complexion and Dlack eyes, she might, as far as appearances go, be a young woman. The pleaaantegt feature of this long planned trip is that, quite unexpectedly, after all her arrangements had been made, she has been engaged to write alternate fortnightly letters to two Chicago papers at a sum whioh will go far toward paying her expenses. There is a certain successful woman physician in New York who has always been poaaeased of the idea that if domestics were treated with consideration and kindnesB there would be none of thoBO difficulties which now form so generally the theme of conversation.

Accordingly, when she started a fine establishment of her own a year or so ago, she decided to havo her house run on a new basiB and, aB her own diningroom was upstairs, she furnished the front basement as the servants' parlor. Indeed, so imbued was she with certain socialistic ideas of her own, that this room was quite as pretty and comfortable as any in the house. In her eagerness to have all the household arrangements fair for the girls, she forgot quite a number of arrangements that were almost indispensable to her own peace and happiness, so that instead of only two to do the work, which at first seemed sufficient in a family of three, another was added and again a fourth, when it waa fonnd that one of the number had a musical talent, which it was a great pity not to cultivate. For the sake of this kind hearted woman, it is a pity that the experiment did not prove successful and that the conclusion might not he an ideal home. Yet after the most heartrending adventures, with liberties abused, jewels stolen and the mietress herself the hardest worked woman in the Souse, she is still not convinced that her soheme is not a wise one.

"It isn't the fault of the children, it is the fault of their mothers," said a bright woman, the other day, in a discussion on children's social pleasures. "Children naturally will enjoy simple entertainments, just as they will find diversion in simple toys, if parents would recognize the fact and not spoil their tastes by too generous giv ing." Anyone who has watched the rapid progress of elaborate partieB, coupled with late hours, for young folks, will understand that such a subject was not out of place and will see why it draw forth so many instances of the fact. Ono mother told how her child, not yet 5, was invited to the party of a child just 5, the hours specified being 7 to 10, which, of course, seemed ridiculous to those whose children were ia the habit of going to bed at 7, but not at ail so when they had been allowed to sit up at home until 0 or 10. Instances were given where children of 15 had been invited to 10 o'clock dances aud others more incredible still and more inconsistent with common sense, all the details being on the same grana scale with which entertainments for grown people are planned. "It's all wrong, said a woman with old fash ioned ideas on the subject of early to bed and early to rise.

"It is wrong from a health view and beside there is nothing left for such chil dren whon they grow up. I can count a half dozon girls whose education is called finished at 17, who go to balls, parties and theaters all winter." Then Bomeone tried to make early dancing accountable for all the mischief, claiming that Children now went to afternoon dancing school at 0, and that there was no oud of the subject as soon as they could dance. This mot with strong opposition from ono who generally has her own ideas on a subject. She claimed that it was farlbetter for ohildren to learn to dance young and to enjoy it in same way they did play of any kind, than to wait until they wero older. At 0 or 7 it waB happy exercise, with no thought or dress or beau.

Thia was a new suggestion to some, who could but aeree that if children would dance as they played kindergarten igames. and would not grow to think of it In any other way, it wonld be a step in the right direction. Mothew with sons are asking why it iB so hard io find them places iu buiuoas or office. Those who object to women holding positions, which until recently wero considered as belonging solely to men, are quite glad of tho chance to reply, "Why? Simply becuuse the nion arc beiug crowded out by women, who are willing to work for less. Tho troublos are onb" just begun; wait a few rears and tlieu you will aee not only how hard it i for your sous to get work, but how bard it is for your daughters to get husbands, for moulwill be moro and more unwilling to marry, when the chances for getting a good living are so precarious." This is a view whioh woman themselves have not thought of.

At present they are exulting in all kinds of business openings, which they had hardly dared expect, and to toll the truth, it must be said, that tho question of future marriage does not seem to trouble them much. It is also true that many of theso same positions aro held by women already marriod.

"Ho will come on the morrow," Bho Baid again, As tho Angel of Night pinuied his sturry wings; "He will come as tho rosy morn appears And the lark his early carol aings." Tho sun roso clear, but no lover came.

And Marjory's heart grew heavy with fear As the shadows deeper and deeper grew And the hour of twilight fast drew near. She wandered out in the fading light, Down by the woods where the tinkling rills Babbled along o'er their mossy bade Till they lost thomsolvos among the hills. Down the lane where the cuckoo calls, Where daisies and wild flowers bloom; Beneath the overshadowing boughs Two lovers tand in the summer gloam. Their words of love are borne on tho broeze They fall on Marjory's listening ear; And her sinking heart is turned to stone And hate now crows from her hope aud fear. Over the woodland, through the dale, Her false love rides, whistling the while.

Onward he rides, with a happy faco; But as he reaches Lefferts hcisht A hand is laid on his bridle rein And a voice speakB out from the dark of the night: Yon are false to me, when yon swore to be true; My heart is dead and so yours Bhall be; And off from Lefferts height to night We'll ride together into the sea." Quick to the saddle before him she springs; One leap from the ledge ana tiie niffnc wma sings A dirgo for the dead in cadence low. As out from the ateeple tho midnight rings.

EsTELIiE M. TlTCfl. BITiL AND inB I'AIiSON. In a town in the wild West, Where the Indians used to dwell, Lived a man named Bill Best, Whose head was wont to swell. When he heard the gossips say That Parson Jones was coming to town To bring him to tho Lord's way And make him ono of His own.

Why, he laughed at such a thing And said it was a good joke. He vowed tho parson would take wing Before to him a word he Bpoko. Bill was going to thrash the parson Whenever he did appear, So he told his friend, Bill Carson, Who sold him all his beer. Bill saw the parson when ho came. Going to him with a nnoor on his face, He said "Bill Best is my name, Two minutes I give yon to leave this place." With that ho let out his fist, The parson Bill hit between the eyes, When, nil of a sudden, bang! bist! And Bill saw stars in the skies.

The parson, a reformed pugilist, Had not forgotten his art. And, of course, he couldn't roBi'Bt An opportunity to take his own part. When Bill saw ho was beat, by the parson, too, He began slowly to retreat, Feeling very aoro and blue. Bill's head ia now its natural size. And never swells any more.

If ono wero to ask which is the most important article of dress this winter I think it would be aafo to reply a nice bonnet, for tbero are no end of social occasions where this same dainty trifle occupies tho most oonspicnous place. To be sure, the suit, should correspond somewhat; bnt if the latter is a trifle worn or shabby it does not show like the bonnet, whioh staijdB out in plain sight, in easy comparison with all the other bonnets, which take on quite an individuality through a five hours' luncheon and reception. "Who is that woman at the guost table with that pretty yellow bonnet on?" inquired my neighbor at one of these recant affairs. "It is the prettiest thing I have seen this winter" and as the speaker goes to no end of luncheons, teas and at homes, this was a decided compliment.

Ever sinoe that tbin, gauzy yellow bonnet has stood out clear and distinct in my mind's eye. It possessed all the requisites that a dressy bonnet should. It was not stiff, it was not of heavy materials, but rather of light, flnffy.delicateltext ure. It was wonderfully becoming to tho yduth ful wearer with brown eyes, who evidently knew what he was about when she selected light yel low. You ask what was her dress? I had almost forgotten, bat believe it was blaok, which shows that what I Haid in the first place about the importance of the bonnot this winter is true.

Conversation never ooases at a two hour feast; heads bend forward and sideways and the bonnets nod and beck with every motion, until according to the character of the iadividasls oh seems to bo a most decided bonnet, another a very monotonous ono or Btill another a gay piece. So it is whenever a fashionable at homo "brings out the prsttieotand best, where certain requisites demand that the small bonnet should be light rather than dark and where, if a hat is preferred, it should be small and close rather than large and flaring. Taks a few seen recently for example: One was a dull yellow felt bent in front, where a cut steel ornament blazed and sparkled with almost as much brilliancy as tho diamond snn blaze at neck. Velvet and tips as near like tho color of felt at possible formed the trimming. Auother charming affair, whioh is half bonnet, half hat, has a soft crown like the Henri II toque, but with a stiff brim made of old blue velvet, lined with bright rose color.

This is worn with blaok velvet strings, fastened with tiny gold lace butterflies, the only trimming being a small bunch of bjack ostrich feathers. In the majority of cases, however, soft Bilk ruches, wreaths of Parma violets, bunches of natural looking blossoms have supplanted tha prince of Wales tipa in groups of throe, which one cynic of a man said reminded him of the corner plumes on a hearse. With the fancy for Ophelia tints, it is not surprising that women, no longer young, make use of this Bhade in combination with black, for their dressy reception and tea bonnets. Those pretty ruches, which the fint of the season seemed to belong to large hate, are now seen iu bounets made of black velvet and lined with delicate tinted satin. Foundations of violet or Ophelis, Batiu are covered with jet embroidered tulle with a wreath of very full rnohing round brim, Just as a wreath of flowers would be plaoed.

Do not imagine, however, that because you know what is suitable for middle aged women in the line of bonnets a bonnet can ever be made a sign of age. 'With ail the inconsistencies of her sex, tho woman who will never see 40 again is auite as likely to appear in a light bine, jet trimmed, as the one who is little over 20, who imagines that blaok gives her a matronly look, which is the height of her ambi tion at this time. Strange as it may seem, too, some of these youthful bonnets are very becoming to women even of 50. It all depends, of course, on how well preserved sho is. If the complexion is good, with a blush of pink in each cheek, even gray hair does not make a youthful bonnet look out of place.

A high, ornamental comb is almost a necessity with many bonnet shapes. Beside affording a feeling of security and peace by keeping the bonnet just where it was so carefully placed, it serves also as back trimming. Pompadour styles in scroll work, gold or silver, and unique shell patterns are all desirable. The variety in the stock ia endless. Gold tops with shell teeth are as reasonable as any at $1.75 or $2.00.

Imitation shell combs, whioh it is hard to determine from the real, can be found for 50 and 75 cents. Before leaving this subject of dressy hats there was one worn lately by a girl divinely tall and divinely fair that made a lasting impression on overy person present. The occasion was an at home with an hour devoted to music. There were many fashionable people present, but none so beautiful as this sweet girl, who must have had every fairy giver of grace and beauty pres. ent at her birth to grant her all the charms of her sex.

Someone said: "Wait until you hear her talk, then you'll find that she hag the typical American voice, sharp and squeaky, for no one person could bo combine all the graces without a single flaw." Bat no, her voice was low and musical and hor hat? Yes, her hat was a work of art from a millinery standpoint. It was a simplo round gray felt with a brim not over four inches deBD and finished as many of them are with a narrow beaver edge. A thick wreath of light violets, showing plenty of light green leaver, circled tho low crown. Tho stems ef these were tartstod in the back into a real knot, above whichiPaa a bow of green satin ribbon. Whether this original hat made the girl seem extra pretty, or whether this lovely girl made all her apparel Beom exceedingly artistic, who can tell? Quite as important as the hat or bonnet is the vail, which is different for different occasions.

For day wear on the street black is generally chosen. Chenille dot3 are no longer considered the best taste. To wear with light evening bonnets there are vory thin tullo vails in laven der, pink, blue and green. When theso are extra long the fullness is gathered in a mass round tbe nock, which is not unbecoming. The hat pin itself is another important feature, as the fastid ious woman no longer contents herself with those black ones to be purchased for a penny apiece and found at every notion counter.

Rather she searches high art jewel stores or bargain counters of stores that make a specialty of theBe small belongings. Ab a result it i not uncommon to see stuok through quite a simple hat a pin set with precious atones and costing anywhere from $lto $150. Absurd! It may be, but I certainly saw a hat pin in a tray the other day, as I was passing the eonnter, whioh was marked $05, and on my expression of surprise the obliging clerk took out another tray whero the prices were Btill higher. For $3.25, however, many fancy pins in otrus can, plain and enameled gold can be found aud if this is still too high, a simple crook stick can be had for less. Twisted heads and knots in dull gold and silver, having some kind of button ar rnugemcnt to slip on to the other end, cost less than SI.

For dainty evening wear there are pins finished with enamoled flowers and jeweled spikes. Just a word about that much maligned home made bonnot or hat. It is a good deal here as it is with home made cake; if the woman has had no experience, her first loaf may fall or burn; at any rate; it will hardly be a3 good as that bought at the bakers. Just so with tho hat; it will lack that stamp of elegance which comes from a professional milliner, unless she herself has taken pains to Btudy details and byfrequeut experiments has acquired somo knack. But in making bats tho stores themselves, evetrthose whioh have a.

millinery department, many aids and suggestions. It i nearly always possible to buy ready mado bows, either iu solid colored ribbon in shaded or striped. Supposo yon need a simple overy day bonnet for publio loctures, shopping or morning errandB. Buyabocoming shape in dark blue or brown felt, trim With ono of these ready made choux in dark bluo ribbon striped Vith a Darrew line of white, or tha brown with tho same color, shading to orange. Have tho string match the folt or ribbon.

No serious mistako can be made in this case, the whole thing is so very simplo. If Bomothing more elaborate is needed great care should be takon not to have it look botchy. Every stitch should be taken as if takon for inspection, and tho crown should be linod with thin silk in some dainty shade, just as the bought ones are. If ono is in the habit of buylng of a certain milliner at openings or othor timek, very likely sho will bo willing to give suggestions for the cheaper one which yeu wish to mako yoni'Belf. Thon there is always thiB other alternative when the fancy prices in tho imported are too much for a slim purse that of carrying materials to those millinera who aro known to do work at home, charging a regular price for trimming a hat or Mrs.

Ward's Latest and Longest Sensation. More of Bret Halle's Wayward, Fascinating Women Dr. Thwins Revises His Oriental Views Sirs. Melville Reproducing "Typee" niul "Oomoo." ft is in vain for some to object to Mrs. Humphry Ward's iconoclastic theology or for othor to criticise her prolixity of theological and alVectional agonie! in "Robert Elsniore." She in of tha race of powerful minds like Charlos Kinirslcr, at least as he shows himself in "Alton Locke," and George Eliot, who make olialT of effete conservatism in belief and cruel social tyranny.

Tin) evolution of Unman thought and of a Christianity that would tnra all the dogmas into practical love of the nciektaor, in the world' Boeial as well as individual life, finds in Mrs. Ward one of its strongest and profouudcst exponents. of David Grieve," pub lislied by Macmillan New York, she shows not only her usual profound grasp of life, of French, in this case, an well as English life, and strong apprehension and oxprsssion of the play of individual character, motives and passions, but a boldnuss somewhat unwonted. Her "Miss Bretherton" dealt not only with the asthetio, but to some decree with the bohemian phase of character. "Robert Elsmore" was greatly enlivened, in Hi rather dumulas well as necessary portrayal ot the heartbreak that follows religious differences anions those closely tied in life, by still freer pictures of tho peoplo who Bet society at defiance iu their Bex relations.

But in "David Grieve" the author deliberately takes her farm bred hero and his dependent lister out of the English life of good report which thoso of his respectable antecedents generally prow up to, and places them in immoral Paris for the inevitable shipwreck of their English prestige of virtue. And it is all a genuine result of heredity. The father, a well to do farmer, had gone off his English head, so to speak, and married a French woman, who was true to Camr's somewhat libelous description of the race near two thousand years ago, "light, vain libidinous." Sho commttod suicide as wall, and her daughter, after running through the earthly wacas of sin, also took her own life. But David was of different make. Ho repents of his fait into his Parisian experience of blind pissinn for a woman unworthy of him, notwithstanding hor flue artistic qualities.

He returns to England a thoroughly sobered man to rosnmo his book trade, become active in the spread of ideas mere or less ethical and worthy, though socialistic also, and to marry one of tha two virtuous women who had contended for his love in younso'r days. Tho other ho dees not, when a widower, quite marry, but there is a friendship of good deads and theories between them which nuagosts the possibility. Such a marriage, however, would be Robert and'Cath nrino Eismere over again, in the respects of David's unocclpsiastical earnestness for human amelioration and Dora Lomax's church zeal. There would be the same interminable strain of minds and affections. The author, with all hor vigor, tends to the exasgeration of such things.

It is partly, no doubt, the necessity of the "throe volume novo)." It has near 000 pages, in the American edition, of intense feeling, varied by descriptions in woman's fondest manner as well as cleverest. The book could well have boon briui'or. Notes, Bret Harts has excelled everything in his later method of story telling in his "First Family of Tasnjara," which comes from Houghton, Mifflin A Boston. Without the ranch, graphic simplicity and pathos of his earlior California tales, it lias the accumulated riches of his years of intellectual growth and culture. There is all his subtle, delicate sense both of Pacific coast nature r.nd of tha human personalities presented in the forced civilization of California, and more than bis usual ingenuity of plot, scene aud incident iu educing and molding character.

The clot, in fact, is atartiiucly bold and complicated. If not altogether reasonable aud consistent, it gratifies tho reader by its rapid changes and surprises. The characters also stagger inoV sense of congrnity at times by their liwifi development, but the same daring freedom and (luency iu evolving them is an ever fresh in tr teat to the reader. The story is rather a series of brilliant sketches and tableaus in the personal war. strung upon the improbable thread of it, too improbable even for the later, luxurious Cali i'orniau society.

The step of a common shop keeping family to all the privileges of Newport i oeicty, for instance, is a very steep one. and their mysterious step down again and out of the Ptory is still more abrupt: but tho play Of Purpose, motive and passion between tho two is won ririiuily varied, vigorous and delicate. Mr. Lute's dash has betrayed him into some defective English, and the printer has aided and nbetted: but ho still holds his reador charmed. The same publishers send B.

Now York, should be iu the hauds of every bnilder and architect in the country, and for the matter of that it wouhl be a good thing if tho house owner and dweller knew somethiag about the facts and methods that lie describes.

Tho.e dwelling! that contain veutilating apparatus of the crdiiest and simplest forms are rare, and the sole inlets for atmosphero into jnnsr houses are thoso boneath doors and around windows, and even these tho honsokeeper dies her host with weather strips to bar. Mr. Wolff's consideration of the matter is both scientific and practical, and if tho plans that he suggests were adopted there would be lens of grip, consumption, headache and blood 'poisoning than there is now.

CREDIT TO WHOM IT IS DUE. Facts Concerning the Grave ot too Ia9 diaa Princess in Greenwood. To the Eaitor of the Brooklyn Eaole: I have just road the article In to day, "ditioi Du "Greenwood," and it refer to the ersW th4 Indian princess. A great mistake is made in saying "Mr. Barnum erected it." As I have reason to believe that I am the solo survivor of the origial nix engaged in raising funds for that pur.

pose and can speak with authority on the whole affair, I can give some facts that I think will greatly interest the public. At this late date I cannot remember the year nor the tribe of the Indian delegation that vis. ited New York city, to whom the Indian princeBB belonged. The wife of the Rev. Mr.

Sawyer (a IJniversaliBt minister of the city) became greatly interested in the delegation and visited them frequently. They also became much attached to her, especially the young Princess Dohumme. (I may not spell this correctly, but it is near enough.) Mrs. S. took them out riding several times.

It was coming home from a ball given at Niblo's that D. took a severe cold, whioh brought on severe illness, resulting finally in her death. Mrs. S. was with her all tho time, nursing her faithfully.

When she was being laid ont the wholo company brought all the ornaments they had to adorn her, Mrs. S. attending to this. The great grief of thp father and young husband was the Difficulty of taking her home; the idea of leaving her in a strange placo waa more than thoy could endure. Mrs.

S. had carriages and took all to Greenwood and showed them tho place. They wore so charmed with the "white man's hunting ground" that on assurance that their loved princess should lie there thej cheerfully assented. Before leaving the city, as a token of their love and tf rati tude to Mrs. 8..

they did a very thing the greatest proof in their a to give. They adopted her into tribe, giving her tho name of Wecnmfa (1 cannot be sure of this spelling dove. The ceromonies of adoption I know but believe no one was allowed to be pr One thing on pare was tbe promise every year and take bread, corn and fru lay them on her grave, bo that aha should hungry in her journey to spirit land. This S. did until she had left the city, and the consigned the task to a mutual friend, wlv had been a frequent visitor to the Indian who used to call her the big white sister.

few times she could not attend to this, an was mnch younger I did it for her, and consecutive years took the articles, climbc the rail and laid Ihenx on the base monument. Mrs. wishing to have some monameufc erected, got six of us ladies to solicit funds. Mr. P.

T. Barnum generously gave us tickets to his museum, so that anyone who might not care to give 25 cents gratis, could buy a ticket aud have somo equivalent for their money as it entitled them to entrance to the museum. Of course, this gift of Mr. B. procured us a good deal of money.

I was one of this club of ladies, bo you canJifie.1 can be relied on. I cannot remember what the monument cost. Mrs. Sawyer attended to all the business part. I think it was cut and carved by a person in Jersey.

I do know he became interested in the project and favored Mrs. Sawyer. I would add, on taking leave, Mrs. Sawyer promised the chiefs that she would meot them the fol lowing year at some given spot in the Rockies, to tako a last farewell before they went to their homes. Aud Bho did.

So credit must be given to whom credit is due. Mr. B. comes in for hisiaw ful share: bnt the whole plan and execution ia due to Mrs. Sawyer.
