KATY CHAIR CABS.
A Building Filled With Memoriee and
Relics of Two Poets Dear to Thousands.
The Owner Regards All Visitors as Bis
Guests and Is Cnusually Kind.
On the Grand canal at Venice there is
a singularly interesting group of build-
ings. First, at the comer of the small
canal which every tourist traverses on
his way to and from the station is (he
great red pile known as the Palazzo Foe-
car i. It is now used as a sort of business
college, and young Venetians learn
bookkeeping in the banquet halls of the
old doge. Next to it are two gray and
ancient buildings, leaning against each
other and the Foscari for support They
form one of the Gnstiniani palaces and
harbor a mosaic factory. Beyond is a
solid and rather gloomy looking build-
ing somewhat aloof from the neighbors
and with a broad semicircular flight of
steps leading from the pillared entranoe
down into the water of the Grand canaL
The posts outside for the convenience of
the gondolas are painted a dnll brown in
contrast with the blue and white posts
of the other palaces. High iron gates
close the entrance.
The first trip yon make on the watery
highway of Venice your curiosity will
be satisfied in regard to this palace, if
on no other point, for every gondolier
knows the Browning palace. Get him to
poke the nose of his gondolas between
those brown posts, and if tbe custodian
is not in sight ring tbe bell beside the
iron gates. A rather crabbed looking
man will let you in, and with a gruff-
ness which is only, as it were, skin deep
tell you to go through the court and up
the broad staircase at the rear.
Iu the court you will find a bronze
statue of a beautiful woman, about
whose unde body a serpent has coiled its
folds. She holds its head to her bosom
and looks at it with a strange fonduess.
If you like speculation, you will begin
to wonder what manner of man it is
who modeled this figure, and you will
climb the staircase with more than ever
of anticipation, for the sculptor is Rob-
ert Barrett Browning, the sole lieir to
the names of two great poets and the
master of the house you have come to
see.
At the top of the broad stairs the cus-
todian will be waitiug for yon at the
doors leadiug iuto a great hall with a
high frescoed ceiling by Tiepolo and a
polished wood floor. If you are as young
as it is to be hoped you are, you will
take an experimental whirl across this
shining expanse while the custodian’s
back is turned. Result, an envious sigh
when he announces that this is the sulle
du baL You sigh again even more wist-
fully when he tells you that a few years
ago Emma Fames spent a mouth as a
guest iu this palace, and that every even-
ing she sang to her host and his friends
as they sat in the great easy chairs you
see on that island of rugs at the other
end of the hall. As if it were not
enough to have this delightful old pal-
ace without also having oue of the great
singers of the world come and fill it
with music! Yon become more than
ever orthodox on the subject of “to
whom that hath shall be given. ”
The custodian unwittingly helps to
ground yon in the faith by leading yon
through oue apartment after another,
filled with beautiful old wood carving,
old frescoes, inlaid cabinets and pic-
tures and statues by the owner of it all
More interesting than the works of art,
however, are the reminders of the two
poets whose personalities are so dear to
thousands of people. Here is a bust of
Elizabeth Barrett Browuiug, modeled
by her sou, and her portrait by the same
careful hand, and there is an earlier
portrait of her, more beautiful than
those one generally sees, and a bust of
ber as a young girl, with the curls ii
the same way that she wore them all
her life. In oue corner is the small writ-
ing desk she used, and near it is the
bust of her husbaud. In a small alcove
is a reproduction of a memorial tablet
iu Florence.
Ouo is surprised to find how livable this
big palace has beeu made. In tho first
place, the owner in addition to the kind-
ness of permitting people to visit the
house has added the courtesy of regard-
ing tl>eiu as probably houest. Most
“show” houses are scrupulously swept
and garuished of everything which
makes them homelike and real. They
contain a barren array of chairs, tables,
and so on, but that is all. Air. Brown-
ing has been kinder to the visitors,
whom he evidently regards as iu a way
his guests. There are books on the table,
there is music on the rack in the music
room, aud there arc interesting photo-
graphs of his father aud mother. He
makes you feel as if he understood why
you came and was glad. Yon look at his
own photograph with a kindly interest
and are not sorry, after all, that he has
a palace, aud that Emma Eames came
and sang to him.
He is, as shown by this photograph, a
man of 30 or 35, with dark hair, which
in your present kiixlly mood you regret
to see so thin ou top. He lias a '.lark
mustache and seems a well built fellow,
quite as capable of riding across country
as of painting the pictures aud model-
ing the statues with which the adjoin-
ing hall is filled.
Tho diuing room, looking out ou the
canal, has a flue big fireplace, lined
with polished brass. You Jong to see
how the light would dance iu it. The
butler’s pantry adjoining is as large as
the dining room itself, aud the walls
are covered with row after row of polish
ed china and glass. The library is being
made over to suit this fastidious young
man and will be most attractive with
the old carved pillars and woodwork he
has picked up, ho knows where. The
floor above is occupied by bedrooms,
while the ground floor is the home of
the custodian, the “boathouse,” aud
general storeroom.—Venice Cor. New

It Wm Prompted bf Chivalry, but There
Wm Mo Reciprocity.
It was a dull day, even for Alexan-
dria. A chill wind, rustling the dead
leaves, twirled in the open doorway and
abont the reluctant form of the little
deputy sheriff. -*►
“I called, Miss-,” he begnn.
“I understand,” the young girl in-
terrupted quietly. “Come in. ” Andshe
closed the door.
Nervously clutching his hat, he fol-
lowed her into the parlor.
“Nothing is exempt,” she continued
as she pushed aside the faded silk cur-
tains to admit the waning daylight,
“but this vase,” pointing to a bit of
porcelain on at Able near by, “the last of
my mother’s wedding gifts. ” With the
conscious expression of a recognized vil-
lain lie farther itemized ou a shabby tab-
let all other visible flotsam of a past
luxury.
“If yon’ll do the other rooms, miss,”
he suggested deprecatiugly, “then no-
body needn’t be disturbed. ”
* ‘ Thank you, ’ ’ she assented, and grate-
ful tears filled her eyes as she took the
list from his hands.
“ ’Taiu’t the law,” he reflected when
she hod gone, “but it cert’n’ly ain’t no
great sin. ” Twice he had done this er-
rand of justice, and his respectful pity
for the girl and her people knew no
bounds. Now as he sat there alone,
smoothing the band of his hat, his nat-
urally sluggish brain was active with
sympathy. Suddenly his sparse little
figure grew expansive aud alert, ani-
mated by a chivalrous impulse such as
prompted Raleigh to cast his cloak un-
der the queen’s feet. He would make a
clear path for her and hers across this
mire of debt and poverty.
“Everything is there,” she said, re-
turning and handing him the tablet.
“Yon are very thoughtful and kind. ”
“I hope, miss, things can be fixed,”
he ventured, “as they was before?”
“Impossible,” she replied, growing
pale. Her troubled face made his heart
ache.
“I’m going to quit this sorry trade,"
he burst out. “I ou’y done it this awhile
’cause I had to get a livin; but, ” bright-
ening visibly, “my aunt at Blue Ridge
depo’ she died las’ week, an she lef ’
farm an cattle an money all to me. ”
“That is good, ” interposed the girl,
gathering courage from his tone.
“Maybe you’ll be mad, miss, ” he went
on, “but I wish mightily you all could
share this win'fall of mine. There’s
your maw,” eagerly. “She’d be like
another lady iu the mountain air, with
fresh milk, an eggs an ridiu round, an
your paw, he could rest up, au maybe
take heart, for a uew scheme, if—if”—
with a gasp—“you’d on’y marry me. ”
Astonishment, indignation, amuse-
ment, in turn overwhelmed her. “I can-
not do that,” she answered, quickly
flushing, “but you are very good to
think of us. ”
“I meant no harm, miss,” he mutter-
ed, aud hurriedly departed.
“What a fool, "he commented once
outside, “to go an forget the difference,
just because I wanted to help her I”
"What a situation!” mused the girl
as the hall door closed abruptly. ‘ ‘ Fancy
the little sheriff, out of sheer good heart-
eduess. wanting to levy on my exist-
ence.”—Washington News.
Mr. Dana on tbe Bible.
What books ought you to read? There
are some books that are indispensable—
a few books. Almost all books have
their use, even the silly ones, and an
omnivorous reader, if he reads intelli-
gently, need never foel that his time is
wasted even when be bestows it on the
flimsiest trash that is printed, but there
are some books that are absolutely in-
dispensable to the kind of education
that we are contemplating aud to the
profession that we are considering, and
of all these the most indispensable, the
most useful, is the Bible. There is no
book from which more valuable lessons
can be learned. I am considering it uow
not as a religious book, but as a manual
of utility, of professioual preparation
and professioual nse for u journalist.
There is perhaps no book whose style is
more suggestive and more instructive,
from which you learn more directly that
sublime simplicity which uever exag-
gerates, which recounts the greatest
events with selemnity, of course, but
without sentimentality of affection;
none which yon open with such confi-
dence aud lay down with such rever-
ence. There is no book like the Bible.
When you get iuto a controversy and
want exactly the right answer, when
you are looking for au expression, what
is there that closes a dispute like a verse
from the Bible? What is it that sets up
the right principle for you, which pleads
for a policy, for a cause, so much as the
right passage of Holy Scripture?—From
a Lecture ou “The Art of Newspaper
Making. ”
The Engliili Ironmonger.
In England the iron monger thinks so
highly of his business that au applicant
who desires to master its secrets must
pay a premium for the privilege. An
agreement, drawn up with much form
aud executed iu parchment, is signed
and sealed, by which the apprentice is
bound for at least two years. He usually
makes his home with his master. When
the time specified has expired, the ap-
prentice blossoms into an assistant and
is required to wear an apron, usually of
some dark colored material. He must be
very profuse iu expressing thanks to cus-
tomers. The prescribed form in serving
ufter a want has been supplied is to in-
quire:-“Is there anything more I may
have the pleasure of doing for you?” or,
“Madam,” or “Sir, where may I have
the pleasure of seuding this?” as, no
matter thesizeof the parcel, "madam,”
or “sir” would nut- think of carrying
it. The work hours of the assistant are
usually 8 a. m. to 7 p. m., with one
hour’s allowance for dinner and 30
minutes for tea. The wages vary accord-
ing to ability. The average per week is
from £‘2 n £3 —Hardware.
SWEARING IN RECRUITS.
How Simply It la Done Here and Don
Iinpreeelvely In Germany.
“Tho unostentatious manner in which
oar national affairs are administrated
is well illustrated by the striking con-
trast between the ceremony of swearing
in recruits in our army and the same
ceremony in Germany,” remarked an
officer who is stwtioued at Fort Wayne.
"Here the recruit, after expressing bis
desire to serve Uncle Sam, is ushered
into the room, a bare, dingy, rented
apartment, which serves as offloe for
the enlisting officer of the army, and
then and there is called upon to repeat
after the said officer the following oath,
its solemn import marked by the cur-
sory upward tendency of the irrespec-
tive right hand: ‘I do solemnly swear
that 1 will bear truo faith and alle-
giance to tbe United States of America,
and that I will serve them honestly and
faithfully against all their enemies
whomsoever, ami that I will obey the
orders of the president of the United
States and the orders of the officers ap-
pointed over me, according to tbe rule*
and articles of war. So help me God. ’
Signature to this oath makes him, with-
out more ado, a full fledged soldier.
“How different is the following cere-
mony used iu binding Germany’s sol-
diers to their kaiser: The young con-
script is conducted to the church of the
parish in which he eriists, where he is
first addressed by the pastor on the sa
cred character and great import of the
oath he is about to take; then, the flag
of his country and that of his battalion
being placed on the altar, the embryo
soldier is required to place his loft hand
on these flags, and raising his right to
repeat the following oath: ‘I swaar be-
fore God, who is all powerful, and who
knows all, that I will serve loyally and
faithfully my very gracious sovereign
uuder all circumstances. On land and
iea, m p» i:ce and in war, and in all places
I swear to seek only his good aud to do
everything to prevent injury to him. 1
Bwear to observe strictly the articles of
war which have just been reud to me.
I swear to obey all orders and tooonduct
myself as every courageous, honest sol-
dier ought to do, delighting iu fulfilling
the duties that honor imposes upon me.
As surely us God will aid me in gaining
eternity through Jesus Christ Amen I’
“Is it not a serious question whether
our simplicity in the administration of
a sacred oath does not defeat its very
purpose? Wo in this free born American
republic aro justly proud of our sim-
ple, unostentatious ways, marked by
want of useless ceremony, and we, by
our example, daily administer rebuke
to the old world of the vanity of its
ways, but lot us not carry this feeling
too far. Human nature here, as else-
where, is impressionable, and if an ob-
ligation is rendered more binding by
impressiveness wo should not hesitato to
employ its necessary accompaniments
even to tho ‘fuss and feathers’ employed
by our elders in the sisterhood of na-
tions.
“The average American, unversed in
patriotic lore, woefully ignorant of pa-
triotic symbols, is constantly accused of
want of devotion to bis country, of too
great individualism, roo little national-
ism. Let us hope that this is not so;
that onr patriotism but lies dormant,
awaiting the occasion which will call it
iuto play and make its existent strength
emphatically evident to tho world.
“Iu the meantime let the soldier
swear by his country’s beautiful em-
blem. Furthermore, let tbe stars and
stripes bo displayed moro often and with
more reverence before the people at
large. Nothing will contribute further
to arouse our heterogeneous population,
our too large disorderly element, tho
product of sordid, selfish individualism,
to a realization of other more worthy in-
terests; of a duty paramount to all oth-
ers. yet so generally lost sight of, to a
country that exists, to a flag that waves,
on this sid« of tho ocean."—Detroit
