CHARLOTTE TEMPLE'S GRAVE.
Iho Slost Fopnlar Spot In Trinity Church
yard, Now York.
A few days ago passcrsby in Broad
way, looking through tno nlgn lenco
that surrounds Trinity churchyard, saw
slender black gowned girl kneeling by
tho gravo of Charlotto Temple. Her
head was bowed in her hands, and she
seemed utterly lost to her surroundings.
After awhile sho aroao with a.vory palo
fnco, walked swiftly through tho gates
tuid disappeared in tho crowd. Sho was
only ono of many dovotec3 at tho sbrino
of tho poor girl who died for love. No
body over visits Trinity churchyard
without pausing for a fow minutes bo-
foro tho big brown slab that bears only
tho uamo "Charlotto Temple."
"Oh, yes! ' said tho gray haired old
can whoso duty it is toseo that tho an
cient tombs aro kept in order. "It is tho
most popular gravo in tho yard. I havo
been hero Koins on 17 years now, and
thero havo been very fow days in good
weather when tho gravo has not bad a
visitor. Several times I havo seen wom
en como hero and stand in tho cold and
sleet and snow looking at tho tomb.
Somehow they always look as if thoy
wcro in trouble.
'Soven or eight years ago I began to
put pottod flowers, geraniums and tho
liko on tho grave, nnd I havo kept it up
every summer since. It is mainly to
mark tho gravo, so that visitors can find
it It is tho only gravo in tho yard that
has flowers on it Othenviso tho pcoplo
would bother n:o to death. When they
ask mo whero tho gravo of Charlotto
Tcmplo is now, I simply toll-them that
is over on tho west sido with some
potted liowers on it. Uliat saves mo a
deal of trouble.
'Several of tho gravestones aro crum
bling badly and will havo to bo repaired
f tho descendants of tho-dead want to
perpctuato their memory. See: hero is
the oldest gravo m tho place."
Then tho old man swept away a layer
cf unst from a crumbling gray stono nnd
showed tho date. 1C81. "Wohavoscv
oral that date almost a3 far back," said
he, "but nono of them is so popular as
that of Charlotto Temple."
Then tho ancient attendant tucked
his broom under his arm, picked up his
wheelbarrow and trundled. away among
tho graves. 2ow York Herald.
BEAUTIFUL MOUNTAIN' PEAKS.

About GO railes south of Tacoraa yon

tain peak on tho earth's surface. Mount
Tr.com a, or Ranier, and carry it with
yon for threo or four hours. It rises di
rectly from tho tido level to a height of
1 J, H I feet, unhidden by intervening
ranges or foothills, and stands sqnarcly
against tho sky, the perfection of mag
iiiCcence, dignity and power. It is two
and ono-half times as Inch U3 Mount
Washington, and I believo tho highest
peak in tho world that rises directly
from a plain. It is known to-rt3 in tho
cast as Mount Ranier and wassso called
in honor of Admiral Sanicr ofthc Brit

Tacoma, tho old title given by tho
Siwash Indians before tho wlrito man
came. Tho base is covarc-il with-a dense
forest cf ever living green. Above tho
timber lino tho scow is white and
smooth and perpetual, and it looks as if
it wcro a solid block of tho purest mar
ble.
Mcunt Tacoma isj just two feet ihighc:
than Mount Shasta, 207 feet higher than
Piko's peak and 400 feet higher than
Gardiner's peak. Tho hfchest in tho
United States. Mount Crillon, Alas

crcmcnt has never been, taken. Mount
St Elias, Alaska, is 13,327; Mount
Whitnev, California, is lu.OSS, and
Mount Williams, California, is 14,400.
There are several other very beautiful
peaks visiblo from tho railway, rnclud

hangs a perpetual halor Mount Hood.
which is a shapelv cone, 11,225 feet.
which was named in honor of Lord
Hood cf tho British admiralty, and
Mount Baker, 10.S00 feet, christened in
honor of Joseph Baker, one of tho lieu
tenants of Peter Pugcr, who discovered
tho sound. Theodore Winthrop has
written lovingly about them, and they

Tho Itomar.cc of a Watch.
Rossini's watch, which has recently
been sold at Bologna to a rich English
man whoso namo is not mentioned
has a history. In 1824 Charles Xpre
scntcd tho composer with a repeat m
watch, studded with diamonds, and
playing two of Rossini's melodies. No
body in Bologna could clean tho watch,
eo it was sent iu the caro of tho tenor
Fabiaao to Paris, whero it was destroy
ed in a fire. Plivce, tho watchmaker,
thereupon niadoi second watch, tho ox
act counterpart of the firsr, except that
tho diamonds wcro false, and Rossini,
who never discovered this pious fraud,
wore tho trinket all his life. On his
death it passed to a relative, whoso sou
has jnst sold it. It is said to contain an
excellent portrait in enamel of Rossini
a3 ho was iu 1824.
A Dog's ralace.
Baron Fnrnchetti, tho father of tho
composer, has had a dog kennel erected
in his palaco at Venice, made through
out of marble. Thu ceiling is decorated
with a splendid mosaic, entitled "The
Chr.so of Diana." Tho eating and drink
ing vessels of tho dogs aro said to bo of
embossed silver. Of courso tho kennel

MEN'S ERRORS IN DRESS.
Young Woman of Observation Says That
Such Solecisms Aro Common.
"It is surprising," said a young wo
man of observation, "how near somo 01
yon men fellows como to being properly
dressed and don't quito get there. I've
heard a good deal of talk and read a
good deal of writing about tho fino art
of dressing well, but my idea is that
it's just a question of tho preservation
of the entities. It's just liko applo sauce
with roast pork and currant jelly with
anvasback duck tho proper thing goes
with tho proper thing. Yet a man may
be letter perfect in his condiments, or
may havo a fit at seeing a water color
in a velvet frame, and still wear a silk
hat and a sack coat. Oh, yon needn't
laugh. I'vo seen it, not only on Broad
way on a Saturday night, but I navo seen
it on Fifth avenuo on a bunday morn
ing. Yes, and worso than that. 1 6aw
ono young -fellow going to church with
two swell girls, ho wearing a blade suk
hat and a brown sack snit Now, do
you know I call that impious.
"Thero aro two otner sma 01 anire
that men aro often guilty of ono a sin
of commission, wearing an overcoat
with a straw hat, and tho other a sin
of omission, wearing an overcoat and
no gloves. Theso things aro dono all tho
timo in their season, and yet you sin
ners in costumo think it a good joke to
seo a woman in white gloves and a
mackintosh and so it is.
There's another thing yon men get
woefully mised up over spats and gai
ters. Any fool girl knows that tho gaiter
is need for warmth, and therefore is a
cart of a winter costume, whilo tho
spat was designed as an article for sum
mer attire to Keep, tno Dottom 01 tno
light trousers from being soiled by black
shoes. It is quito a3 awful a solecism to
wear spats with dark trousers as it i3 to
wear a gaiter over a tan shoe, yet both
aro committed constantly hero in New
York, and by men who ought to be
ashamed of themselves for not knowing
or not doing better.
"Aud, talking of tan shoes, you never
will convinco mo that it's cither correct
or convenient to wear tan shoes in win
ter or in stormy weather. That's tho
timo for rubbers, and goloshes over tan
shoes aro an incongruity that gives me
tho horrors. It's tho samo sort of de
based tasto that leads a man to peril
his soft palato by using a cigar holder,
or that leads him to outrago decency by
sticking a cravat pin in a sailor s knot.
And don't think for one instant that all
tho rest of us don't observe theso things
just as I da If a man's dress is trig and
trim from top to too wo admire him.
even if bo's as homely as sin that is,
as sin is supposed to be but if ho mixes
tho seasons or falls down in tho nicer
details of completeness wo havo our
little sneer at him after he's gone, even
though bo's as good looking as you'd
liko to be" ISew lork Sun.
THE JUDGE'S MENTAL SPREE.
Lurid
ndlnn nnd Detective Novels as
Means of Mild Dissipation.
Tho salo of 5 cent novels, descrip-
tivo of the improbable adventures of In
dian fighters or tho superhuman sagac
ity and adventure of impossible detect
ives, is by no means confined to the
small boys of New York. ATeporter
loitering in a Park row book exchange
was surprised to observe one of the most
eminent jurists cf tho day overhauling
v. pilo of this trasu. Ho had laid aside
"Broken Plume's Last Shot, " "Old Cap
Collier Among tho White Caps," "The
Boy Magician In Madagascar," "Tho
Young Nihilist" and "Frank and the
Aztec Treasure."
"What aro yon going to do with that
stuff, judge?" tho reporter esked.
"Going to read it alL It is my way
cf going on a spree. When I get actual
ly worn out and run down ever tho study
of abstruso legal problems and reach

Chinese Pawnbrokers.
Among tho Canton houses there are
occasional exceptions to tho general one
storied or low constructions. Some of
theso aro built liko square towers four
or five stories high, with no outside
windows savo at a considerable distance
above tho ground and no outsido pro
jections by which thieves might climb
op. Theso establishments aro called
pawnshops, but they appeared to mo
more to resemble our banks whero we
placo deeds and other valuables for safe
ty. I understand it is nsual among the
Chinese to deposit their possessions of
value, when not in use, in theso estab
lishments. The peoplo also store thero
during summer their winter clothing,
and loans may bo obtained against tho
goods stored. To havo dealings with a
pawnshop is in no way considered de
rogatory to a Chinese gentleman's dig
nity. Florenco O'Driscoll, M. P., in

A CLEVER PICKPOCKET.
He Was a Xtusslan and Alarmed and Sur
prised a Grand Dnke.
Ono day, at the dinner table of a
grand duke, tho French embassador ex
tolled tho dexterity of his fellow coun
trymen, as exemplified, among other
things, in the cleverness of the Paris
pickpockets.
I should not wonder'if tho St. Pe
tersburg pickpockets could give them a
start," replied tho grand duka And
seeing an incredulous smile play around
tho features of the embassador hb added,
Will yon bet that, before we rise from
tho tablo your watch or somo other
valuable will not bo taken from your
person?"
Tho embassador accepted tho wager
for tho fun of tho thing,, and tho grand
duke telephoned to tho chief constable
asking him to send at onco tho cleverest
pickpocket ho could lay his hands on.
Tho latter was to receive tho full value
of every article ho managed to "annex"
and bo allowed to go unpunished.
The man caino and was put into liv
ery and told to wait at tablo along with
tho other servants. Tho grand duke told
him to givo him a sign a3 soon as ha
had accomplished tho trick. But he
had to wait a long1 time, for tho embas
sador, whose watch was tho article to
bo experimented upon, always kept on
tho alert, and even held his hand to his
fob when conversing with tho most dis
tinguished guests at the table. At last
tho grand duke received the preconcert
ed signal. Ho at enco requested the em
bassador to tell him tho time. The lat
ter triumphantly put his hand to his
pocket and drew forth a potato, instead
of his watch! There was a general burst
of laughter, in which tho embassador
himself joined, though with a wry face,
fcr ho was unmistakably annoyed. To
conceal his feelings he would tako a
pinch of snuff his snuffbox was gone!
Then ho missed the. seal ring from his
finger, and lastly the gold toothpick
which ho always carried about with him
in a littlo case. Amid tho hilarity of
tho guests tho sham lackey was request
ed to restore the articles, bnt tho grand
duke's merriment was changed into
alarm and surprise when the thief pro
duced two watches, two rings, two snuff
borer, etc. His imperial highness made
tho discovery that ho himself had been
robbed at the same time. Neuo Blatt, .
