As * matter of fact, the assets of the American conti nent are leee than they were when Coltttnbsu discovered It. Millions of mineral wealth that were then stored away in the bowels'of the earth are there no longer; our noil has been partially exhausted of Its fertile prop erties, and our hills and valleys have beea largely denuded of their forests.

In the grand saloon a bright Ore cracked at the bottom of a great chimney, and through the hair closed wlmlows the freshness of the moonlight and the munuur of the Ba varian forest entered like a carets. The chase that day bad becu a fattening one, and In the cbnlce circle which gathered around His Highness, the conversation became familiar and without constraint. It was In the midst of this that the valet swung open the doors and announced the Count and Countess of Allcnock. nnd nil heads were turned with eyes full of curiosity. Bren the Prince, ordinnrlly so blase, sat wondering what might come. It was the flrsfttme that the Conut of Alleneck bad appeared socially for many years, and many foolish and un true stories had been circulated about him. He had married, so It was said, but far below him, and lived, retired, on bU own estate and yielding only to the formal demand of the Prince, hnd come to present his wife to the’ intl fnate circle of the court. But what a difference between them! He was n man of noble appearance, of On* face and noble bearing, and she. a common woman, with short hair and B peasant's face, wearing a black dress which fitted her badly, and Without tnate. The circle which unpltlably stared at her, did not stop to see the rare grace of her eyes, nor the kindli ness which covered all her features. It »r,_-- -- maae a rustic courtesy, and said cor fiially, in a high voice: "I thank you for this honor, sir Prince. My husband has always said that we have a most kindly Prince for master. We have named onr bey CouiB Ferdinand, out of respect to onr Prince." As she spoke the looked furtively at her husband. Had the said the wrong thing that the room was so silent? He Understood the Ill-concealed mdtkery of the company, and felt the coolness of the Prince, who heard tta^wordt without reply, and the big iiAV the forehead reddened. Turning to hla wife nffectMiatelT, he said: "Come. Anna Marie. I wish to show yon the park and the hothouses. There •re some spleudkf specimens of cedars. 1 ind orchids there.” No on# detained them. They went out In tbo moonlight. A alienee of stupefaction followed Ihetr departure, and then a babel of voices ailed the room. The Prince, slowly, slightly shrug.

And to it might have gono on. "But one wintry doy. when the wind and rain were Impetuous. William's work was to carry his load np a high scaffolding. The other men had taken refuge from the storm, bnt he kept on. At this moment Salome, who had come with bis dinner, terrified at an unusual gnat of wind, cried: “’William! William! In the name of heaven, descend quickly.' “He turned to her as be heard her cry. and. mistaking his footing, slipped and fell. He was qnlckly carried to the hospital, and hovered many days between life and death. The whole village, hearing the news, openly con gratulated Salome on the approaching decease of her husband. “ ‘Far better for him and for yon,’ aald they. “One day when she arrived at the hospital vhe found the bed empty. An other room bad been taken for him. They took hint there that morning. Wns he dead? Her heart leaped to her throat.

The secret of the American girl** style Is her Individuality of taste. She knows what she likes, and she dares te express this liking In what she does and in what she wears. Her fads and frills are her personal fancies. When expressed, they be come the poetry of dress, says the Wo man's Home Companion. And there it nothing exclusive about this poetry; it Is a llviug spring from which every one may drink. Not to all, of coarse, U It glveu to originate; but It should be possible tor all te se lect and adapt. Wrtkw'i Occupations. A report from a recent meeting In England under the auspices of the Women's Trade Cnton League, says the Youth's Companion, states that the list of employments made out there showed women of the United King dom to be auctioneers, architects, ba ilffs, blacksmiths, brickmakers, butch ers, chimney sweeps, talluresSei, rail way porters, veterinary surgeon^ and one of them a dock laborer. The oc cupations of brick makers and butchers are the most popular among them all, the former claiming three thousand women and the latter four thousand.

It la called the Casino dea Rnfants, and Is In the heart of tho fashionable playground for children' of tbe better class In Paris—tbe Champs Blyseea It Is dally thronged with crowds of merry-faced children, while on Sunday they are there in hun dreds. It la select, too. for the mem bership entails an expenditure of halt a franc (flve pence) per day, ao it Is only the children of tho well-to-do who are found there. One enters the clob room through a carpeted corridor, lined with palms, the main room of which is a beautiful large hall, with a roof of stained clans. Large mirrors are ringed along the walls, and these on dull days, when tho electric lights In the chandeliers are turned on, convert tbe place Into a very good imitation of fairyland. It is light, airy and cool, a great compari son to the heat and glare outside when the days ore warm. Its purpose being to give pleasure, the club is equipped with all sorts of games and amusements. In the cen tre of the ball there is a small merry go-round of bicycles. There are also several swings, enclosed for safety within a railing of bamboo, low see saws and rocking horses. Shuttlecock is a favorite game, suit there are other pastimes played with rings, swinging balls, and spinning wheels. Between flower stalls stall* for con fectionery, ice cream and cool drinks, there are set all kinds of automatic machines, whoso games give great pleasure to ths little ones.—Detroit Tribune. >4 •■•rt Ftrlilu OtrainU.

Many women have found this fashion so comfortable and so easy to accomplish without the aid of a maid that they have adhered to It In spite of all the changes of fash ion that have come from the planting pt the knob on the crown to the cen tre of the back of the bead, and from there to the nspe of the neck, which la sorely the most natural, if the moat comfortable, of fashions. Now the de cree of La Mode la that the hair shall be rolled over perpendicularly from the neck to the crown of the bead, m comb with a curved-over ornament be ing placed in thin roll. But this mode la far from being artistic and cuts off the proportions of the bead to the face In a manner that ta qn|te at variance with afl the laws of beauty. Borne faces are softened by a fashion of pall ing down n meche of hair In a puff aver the forehead, and certainly thin fashion obviates the doubtful wisdom of cutting one’s hair la a "fringe.” Nothing spells the heir more than the “tenge” The French fashion, there fore, of the lew, full waved meche of hair In Its natural length simply betd In place by combe is by far the moat rational. The hair should bo filmed slightly eu the reverse side before turning np the ends nader the comb, and if carefully disposed by Meres Angers It need net have the heavy ap pearance that la the east when I ma ths coiffure.
