and a distressing circumstance to his parents and relatives. MITRONB OF TUBS BBTOUITIOv. O'Brien Pollock. Margaret O'Brien was a native of Ireland, born in the year 1746, in County Clare. She descended from a noble family by both her paTents 43'Brien of the House of Clare and Kennedy of Onnoni Her father was an officer the Regiment de Clare," belonging to the Irish Brigade in the service of France, lhe daughter was educated at one of the convent schools at Paris, and upon her father being ordered to America, accompanied him thither.

It was at New Orleans that she met Oliver Pollock, then one of the most prominent merchants in the New World, and about the year 176o they were married. She was a woman endowed" with a well cultivated mind, of an excellent understanding, and just such a helpmate for an active and energetic sonl as Pollock. Her conversation was ever engagingly instructive and desirable, and her domestic life was a resplendent one. She greatlv aided her husband in his patriotic work to serve his adopted country in its struggle toward liberty, and at times was undoubtedly the star of hope which lightened his way in the darkest hours of his life, for it mnst needs be that in every praiseworthy, even God like effort, the sunshine is at times overshadowed by clouds. The War of the Revolution was especially so.

and even the most hopeful of the patriots had their hours of despondency and gloom, and Mr. Pollock a ventures frequently were disastrous failures. It was at these times that the true wife and loval woman that she was. helped to bnov iip as it were the fainting heart. She appreciated his self denial in the cause of America, and sympathized with him when the hours of ungratefulness came.

She realized what sacrifices her hnsband had made; when, had he been less a lover of country, wealth would have remained, and. "like that other great financier of the Revolution, not ended his days in almost poverty. Mrs. Pollock was trulv one of the women of the period of the Revolution of whom br descendants mav be jnstlv proud. Distant from the din" of battle, the trials, sufferings and hardships encountered by Washington little armv of ragged continentals, It wag through her husband's energy and patriotic valor, that some help was given the straggling colonies.

Safe from danger he was. yet her womanly sympathies went out to her sisters suffering in the Northland, and her ndvice had weight it was loyal confidence and love. When his labors'were ended, and peace dawned, Mr. Pollock came back to Pennsylvania with his wife and family. Here Mrs.

Pollock again exhibited those many excellent traits of goodness which illumined her whole life. She died at the family residence, January 10, 1799. and her remains were interred in the graveyard at Silvers Spring Church. The "Carlisle Gazette" of the 23d. among other precious words in her memory, says: "In ber we saw the faithful, the tender, the affectionate wife a parent, most fond, indulgent, and kind a friend, cautious, just, sincere, and warm Christian, en ragingly lienevolent and liberal.

She sought the tear of misery and relieved it her sonl melted at the misfortune of others, and made them her own her mind was great and happy; and she was blessed with a memory both fertile and pleasingly useful to rear the tender thoughts of youth, and with a talent peculiarly her own." Oliver Pollock, son of Taret Pollock, was born in Ireland, about 1737. His father and family came to America and settled near Carlisle, shortly after the formation of the county of Cumlierland. lhe son had previously received good training, and was brought up in mercantile pursuits. In 17G2 3. he vent to Havana, Cuba, where he was connected with a prominent firm in that city.

After the cession of the Louisiana territory by France to the King of Spain, Pollock removed to the town of New Orleans, where he engaged in mercantile transactions, and established a high reputation iu business circles. On a venture, in 1769, he purchased the brig Royal Charlotte, at Baltimore, loaded her with flour and set sail for New Orleans." Owing to the recent occupation of that place by the Spanish troops, food was scarce, and it was at this juncture that the load of bread stuffs arrived at New Orleans. Not desiring to take advantage of the distress of the people, his flour was offered at a nominal price. In 1775. when the American Revolution began, Pollock was one of the most prominent and energetic merchants at New Orleans.

His sympathy was at once enlisted in favor of independence; and many were the services rendered secretly and effectively. During that critical period, perchance there is no story of a life more interesting than that of Oliver Pollock, especially ns connected with his transactions in Spanish circles, as well as his great assistance to the struggling colonies. His unswerving devotion to the United States so often manifested forbids the suspicion that his motives were not thoroughly loyal to hi allegiance. His services to his adopted country have never been appreciated. No lietter estimate of his character can lie furnished than that of Miro.

the Spanish Governor of New Orleans, in a letter to Governor Randolph, of Virginia: "The just integrity evinced by this gentleman in the faithful discharge of his engagements entered into for the service of his country, strongly interests me in his favor, and induces mo to pray you have the goodness to receive him under your excellency's protection, and I trust yon will be pleased to give him a sjioedy reimbursement of the moneys due him from the United States and the State of Virginia, which I shall estH'in as a iiersonal favor conferred upon myself." As the financial agent of the United States at New Orleans during the Revolution, it is greatly to be regretted that the colonies never projierly reimbursed him. and he died comparatively a poor man; whereas, through his successful transactions in mercantile pursuits in the Spanish ios sessions, he could have Ih cii one of the wealthiest men in the United States. In 1792 he returned to Cumlierland county. purchased the property known ns Silvers Spring. In 1795 he was a candidate for Congress, but defeated, as also in 1804, the latter year owing to a division of votes in the county.

He was quite popular in the locality. In 1SOG he was again nominated, but withdrew in favor of Robert Whitehill. After the death of his wife, he removed to Baltimore, where he again married. About the close of the war of 1812 14. he removed to the residence of his son in law.

Dr. Samuel Robinson, Pinckneyville, where he died December 17, 1823. Next to Robert Morris, the great financier of the Revolution, come the services of Oliver Pollock, and to him the country owes very much of its success in the struggle for independence against Great Britain. THE HI KIT ISSORRECTlllX. Row It Began and How It Kndetl.

I. The readers of "Notes and Queries" are indebted to S. B. Row, of Phil ipsburg, Penn for the following interesting narration of an important episode 'at Pennsylvania history. In 1794 Southwestern Pennsylvania was the theater of stirring events.

The "Whiskey Insurrection." which the State authorities had been trying to quell, grew so formidable and aggressive that it wais deemed ayeecssary to invoke lhe military aid of the Fedeifal Government. The commotion was neither sudden or uuiex pecteSl. It was the development of a per gomv that had been planted many years 'before, while the provincial government wa still in existence. It forced itself to the surface as early 1738, wihen an act, passed that year, imposing an excise on rum, 'brandy, wine and other sp'rits. met with so much dtsfavor ap to cane its lepeal a few months after its adoptions.

Another act of the same import, pa sed in the year 1744, shared a similar fate. One. approved in 1772, laying at excise tax on both domestic and foreign spirits, could be enforced. ao far at it 'related to Jrome di stilled spilths, until some time after the ecrmmcncenKt of the Revolutionary struggle, when lilie coi eefcion of part of t'he revenue win niiu dered feasible, but toward The close of war the law again 'becamie practically a dead 'etter and was rejiealed. The next legislation on this subject was the menwiiubte act of Congress.

pai ed March 3d, 1791, which imposed a dii.ty.on spirits distilled within the United States. Thin measure produced much excitement both j.T and out of Congress. It was assailed by the country at arge as lieing unnecessary and tyranmioal. "a ttended wltlhi inf ringennemtt on liberty. pa itiiO in its oiieratio ns.

Washington amid Wrkimoreland.

a fciea'li ty in which were mamy advocUtes. of an, ultramontane empire, and fmm which had come the strongest opjiosition to the ratification of the far at 't as. tbes State was concerned. The importiaitioii of forcigu spirits having ceaied altogether during tlie War of the Revolution, the farmers in the growing districts turned their attention to the manufacture of whiskey and ruin. This business expanded rapidly, for not only there a 'large home demand to be supplied, but splits were ato exported to Oa'nad'a, and tlie trade as a consequence proved quite profitable.

The "Western Country." as it was thorn called, was soon dotted over with distilleries, and. so great was the consumption, of grain that a famine in hiead. atiiffo. was at one time imminent With view of averting such ia calamity, tlhe use of all kinds of ceieals for is tiling purpose was prohibited by legislative action, but the restriction concerning rye and bailey befcig afterwards rvpea ed. the business was carried on as extensively as ever, and "whiskey and rum were not only articles ct commerce and con but from the naturul deficiency of in a wild country, they also were U4ed universally as currency.

Itiyments were made in them, and they were received in satisfaction: of debts." At the time the act of 1791 was to go into effect, efforts were made in several of the Stabs to derive some benefit from the aKowaiace which Congress in 1780 had proposed for men who served in the Revolutionary War, as a compensation for lossaey: sustained through the depreciation of the currency with which they had been paid. In Pennsylvania all previous attempts to create a "depieciuitkm fund" hat! for some reawou or other proven failures, but when the law of 1791 was ai fcicted. a jRirtion of the jevenue arising from it was set apart for this purpose, and those directly intenvucd urged its speedy collection. If the prospects for realizing something on this occasion were encouraging at the wiart. they were dispelled by the rapid growth of the epiMxrition to tfae excise, and th measures adopted for a prompt enforcement of tht lawVprovisdoEi i only assisted stimulating the feeing of hostility which, prevailed in all parts of the country wheie dis llerii were in operation.

In order to corrwtiy understand the situation, of affairs, it is to into consideration 'tlie kind and character of the popu'lation that dwelt im the emiii ties west of the mountains. Many of the inhabitants were the descendants of sturdy Scotch Irish stock, ami inherited in no smaM degree the antipathic and prejudices of their projenWorw. In tlu ir opinion, an exciseman was a person to be detested and shumjied. The summary ar. rests, heartless treatment, and severe punishments which their forefathers had experienced through fills cass of orlieera jo the old country, were kept green in the memories of these leople, and it wtn only natural for them to bold in dl esteem any i xe ise law that might be enacted here.

Inasmuch some of the States manufactured comparatively mil a 11 quantity of spirits, amd others none at all, the burden of? the excise rented most heavily on Pennsylvania, Maryland and) Virginia; and it couM therefore scarcelv be expected that their citizens, especially Chose of Western Pennsylvania, where distilling was carried on most extensively, would permit a statute which materially affected thedr intereste to pure quietly into operation. The xrevailing discontent manifested Itself first la tke ciTcu'latioa of opinions, unfavorable to the law.

The next point aimed at was to dissuade per soni from accepting office under it. This was followed by pretenUed snspensionj of distilling operation. Finally secret societies were organized, a'nh the meni neiw pledged to abstain from complying with Phe requirements of the law. This negative mode cf opposition. seerrinjrly was persi continued and cceM not fail sooner er later to produce serious In June.

1791. the law was to be put in oicration. The unie crs were in most instances accepted, and the excise was paid by senile of the well disiiosi'd distillers. In proiiortion as this was the case, and the disaffected realized that determined efforts would Ik made to enforce the law. the disjiosition to iiie liecame more turbulent, revenue1 officers were Hiihjctcd to marks of contempt and insult, and after some time the threats made against them ripened into acts of ill treatment and outrage.

These nets of violence were, however. precded bv pul lie meetings which adopted solutions much more likely to "confirm, inflame and systematize the spirit of opposition." thau to convince Congress that if would Ik just anil proper to rciieal the objectionable statute. The first of these assemblages was held at Redstone Old Fort, now Brownsville, on the 17th of July. 1791. and a committee was appointed to correspond with citizens of other pails of the count ny.

1791. the day preceding the last mentioned meeting, the first act of oiien violence occurred. Robert Johnson, a collector of revenue for the counties of Allegheny and Washington, was seized at Pigeon creek by a body of armed men. who cut off his hair, stripped, tanred and feathered him. and withholding his horse coinielled him to travel on foot a considerable distance in that humiliating condition.

Johnson made complaint to the United States District Court at Pittsburgh, which issued a process against John Hamilton. John Rediertson and Thomas McComb, three of the persons engaged in the outrage, but the deputy marshal who w. to serve the waiumt. was threatened with personal violence and met with such opposi tion as prevented him from iierforming his durv. A nrivate messenger, witii wiiom tlie process wius afterwards sent, but who was ignorant, of the contents of the papers he had lieen requested to deliver.

was seized, tarred and fcsitlicrtM. am! after having his horse and watch taken, was tied, blindfolded, to a tree, where he reiiiainil several hours before being ik leased. Another nicer of the Govern ment. Mr. Wells, the collector for West moreland and Fayi tte comities.

In the month of Octolier. 1791. a feeble minded man named Wilson, who fancied himself a collector of revenue or invested with some ollu ctmnsfU 1 hew with, was taken out of his lied, conveyed about live miles to a smith's shop, there inhumanly burned with hot imns.

As "resistance under the stances was out of the question, he agreed to comply with their demands and was flu reiiiNiii set at lils'i ly. 1 While revenue officers and good citizens were 1 ing subjected to this kind of intimidation, another means of resistance, previously resorted to, was again isit in ope'rntion. Agreeably to n.itie e' given, "a meeting of sundry inhabitants of the western counties of Pennsylvania." convened at Pittsburgh on the 21st of August.

1792. and on the following day it committee in their report declared "that a tax uikmi liquors, which are the common Hrliilr of the nation, onerates in proportion to the numlier and not the wealth of the Iieople. and of course is unjust in itself nn.l to the noor:" that internal taxes Uxiii consumption must in the end destroy the liberties in every country in wjich thev are introduced; that the late excise law. owing to the want of market for grain and the scarcity of a i medium would bring Immediate distress and ruin on the western country; and il they thought it their duty to persist in remonstrating Congress, aud in every other legal measure that may obstruct the operation of the law." until its total repeal was obtained. David Bradford, Marshal.

Albert Gallatin. Peter Iisle and David Philijvs were authorized to draw up a memorial to Congress, stating their objections to the law, and praying for its repeal. A committee of twenty one was likewise appointed to cor resiioild with fiimmittws in other iKtrts of the United States to call either general meetings of the iieople or conferences of the seveial committees. The xirt of the committee ended ill tbe declaration that in the future they would consider persons who acepnsl offices of collection as of their friendship; that they would have no intercourse or dealings with them; that they would withdraw ev ry and withhold all the comforts of life which fellow citizens owe to each other: that upon all oeasions they would them with the contempt they deserved; and recommended the people at large to follow the same line of conduct towards them. "In the opinion of Secretary Hamilton, it was not difficult to perceive that the anathema pronounced against the otlleers eif the revenue placed the parlle ipants In this meeting "In a state of outlawry, and ope raiea as a signal to tin mose who were liold enough to encounter the guilt, and the danger to violate ltoth their bves and their proert ies." and lie therefore reiKirt ed the proceedings, ns soon as known, to President Washington.

Warrants were is sued for the arrest of some of the riot ers, but the sheriff refused to serve them. il for which he was afterward indicted, and so this matter also fell to the ground, tin the 22d NoveinlMT. of the same year, another jiarty of men, disguised and armed, agnii: attacked and broke into Mr.

June being the month for receiving the annual entries of stills, endeavors were made to open otliees in Washington and Westmoreland counties where this had theretofore lieen found impracticable. Reiieatcd attacks were soon made in the night by armed men on the one in Westmoreland, but it was courageously defended by Mr. Wella, who had previously been driven out of his house in Fayette county, and by Reagan, the owner of the property, that it was retained during the remainder of the month. The one in Washington did not fare so well. At midnight, on the 0th of June, a number of men, armed and painted black, forced their way into the house of John Lynn, where the office was kept, seized the owner, carried him to the woods, cut off his hair, opplieel tar and feathers, and after making him swear that he would not permit his house to lie used again for an office, and that be would neither again accept an agency in the excise nor disclose the names of his assailants, they bound him naked to a tree, from which he did not extricate himself until morning.

Not content with maltreating him in this manner, the riote. pulled down his house, and subsequently compelled him to become an exile ft'em bis own home.

THE SUMMER LAWN. Things Von Need to Get the Most Comfort From It. Lovely as summer is not one person in a dozen knows how to get the best out of it.

To properly enjoy a June day are needed rustic surroundings in which figure roses, grass, country air and in which hammocks play a prominent part. Hammocks on the piazza are of course an indispensable part of tho furnishing of every country house, but tho hammock swings are not quite so well known. On any lawn which has a largo tree with wido spreading limbs to afford a comfortable shade the swing hammock is a luxury. It is a large and comfortable canvas chair, supplied with a broad rest for tho feet and with a projecting awning of striped cloth or bamboo to protect the occupant from tho sun or slight showers. The ropes which suspend tho hammock front the treo branch allows it to 6way to and fro in the breeze in a way that is calculated to woo to gentle slumber in 15 minutes the most hopeless in Bonianiac on record.

With a book, a box of candy and a swing hammock the most exacting woman who ever lived could enjoy happiness. Where there is no treo on hich to anchor the hammock a swinging hammock chair arrangement can bo bought. This in every way resembles the swing hammock except that it is supplied with a wooden frame, to which it is attached. A hammock reclining chair for the comfort of tired and lazy men who aro enjoying an outing or have been temporarily banished from the house to smoke is also made of stout canvas and has a durable awning to protect the ocoupant from the weather. A stout frame with an awning is made for tho benefit of those who have no treo or shrubbery from which to hang their hammocks.

With one of these hammocks located In the vicinity of a lawn fountain or ON THE LAWN. the lawn sprinkler many a sultry summer evening in tho city has been made tolerable, although as a rule a cigar to drive away the mosquitoes is a comfortable adjunct to this arrangement. As to tho hammocks, never before were they so handsome or so cheap. They appear in the shops in handsome colors, with plain grounds or gorgeously striped.

FASHION'S ECCENTRICITIES Bebe Ribbon and Its Manifold and Artistic Uses on Gowns, Underskirts and Underwear. Pretty Petticoats Dainty Lingerie The Outside Coat. Berlin, June 23. Bach year fickle I' ashion shows despotic favoritism to some particular style of garment, or some eccentric toilet accessory, some rwirtieu lur tit of bodice or haug of skirt, some iKfiiliarity of trimmiug, which she holds up to her admiring imitators for a brief time and casts into most obscure oblivion afterwards. at ineseut it is the narrow baby riblKHi which must trim everything that is fashionable.

Baby ribbon is made use of on all materials for all occasions. It is found on lawns and linens, silks and woolens, laces and velvets, and it certainly deserves a long lived prominence, for it is as elamty as it is practical. A pretty illustration of this garniture is shown in our design of a fashionable promenade gown of grey Vene'tinu cloth. The skirt of silver grey Venetian cloth shows the long pointed, tight fitting yoke with very full serpentine Hounce lined wilh white taffeta. A narrow pipiug of darker gray velvet edges the skirt yoke.

The graceful bodice of silver grey Vene tian cloth has loose' folds in frout, which are ovcrlaniicd by reveres of heavy yet low guipure lace, the design of which is outlined by gathered white baby ribbon These lace reveres, which expose in front a tucked vest of white taffeta, finish at the back in a wide sailor collar falling over another larger sailor collar of darker grey nuroir velvet, elaborately edged and embroidered with crimped baby ribbon and steel lieads. The velvet collar forms caps over the shoulder aud ends in two slender points on eithe side of the front ot the liodie e. A full serpentine basque of grey velvet, embroidered and edged with baby ribbon like the sailor collar, is attached over the hips and under an applique of yellow gui pure and finishes with long points over the skirt at front and back. The tight sleeve of Venetian cloth, with its small shoulder puff, finishes at the wrist with a snff of the same dark grey velvet with baby riblion and steel lead embroidery. Xor does this trimming with baby ribbon contine itself to outdoor wear.

Kven the silk underskirt shows the same at tractive garniture, and is illustrated by our model of primrose colored taffeta. It is hcll sliaicd and goreless, except for the bins seam at the back. A wide serpentine floiiiH adds to the fullness below and is attached to the skirt under a narrow ruche of white and black pinked taffeta. The flounce is trimmed in zizzag design with heavy black silk lace, edged with black baby ribbon, and the hem is stiffened by two narrow, full ruches of white taffe'ta and one of black. Kae succeeding year adds variety and extravagance to the department of fasti ionnble lingerie, and all the novelties in tlie garments of this season are Aistin guished for I heir d.

iluty fineness and beau tit ol finish. Hand made underwear of fine nainsook expensively but not elaliorately trimmed with embroidery or lace, is greatly de sired by women of refined taste and abun dant but the average woman can not please her taste for this kind of elegance, and the machine made garments have to satisfy her. Fortunately, they do not lack either fineness or daintiness, since they made of the same soft cambrie s. lawns or mulls as the handsome pieces and are trimmed with the same laces. Point de Paris is a favorite and well wearing lace, and the fashion used this season is extremely hue.

l'ongee has lately lieen revived for un derwear, and with a purpose, as nothing is cooler for hot weather use and nothing win resist the merciless enorts of tlie laundress as well as this light, washable silk. It is trimmed with white or butter colored laces and insertions throu, which riblion is drawn. The prediction that longer coats are to lie worn has not yet lieen realized. On the contrary, the newest designs for jack ets to lie worn when chilly evening zephyrs forward the Summer girl that her reign is at an end. are all short an close fitting.

Eton cents are recommend ed by the tailors ns one of the most de sirable styles for the coming season lhere are double and single breasted Ktons. and Kton coats turned back in fancy double reveres, which do not meet or fasten in front at all. The plaiu short titling fly front coat with small reveres turning back just enough to show the necktie and fasten liclow is shown among other models as one eif the styles which never die out. Stranied senilis are again in evidence am! our illustration shows a very natty model of tan broadcloth, lined with fancy colored taffeta. It is cut very short and the straps form the only trimming.

The white sailor hat has a round fold of straw it the rim. and the trimming consists of a band of folded velvet riblion and high standing shaded tan and brown ouills. The same model has lieen satisfactorily copied in rod broadcloth, and looks very chic when worn over Summer gowns of light washable fabrics.

U. McClelland in St. Nicholas. A' CLOSE CALL. Kip and Tuck Between tbe Miners and tbe Mountain I.tou.

A number of sportsmen were recently talking over the good times they had bad duck shooting last fall when the conversation turned on bunting big game in the west. Soma thrilling adventure, was related by every one in the group but an elderly man, and he in turn was asked for a story. "I don't suppose," began the silent man, "that any of you young fellows ever ran across a mountain lion, as they are becoming rather scarce now in tho west. But early in the fifties, when I first went to Colorado to hunt for gold, these animals wore quite numerous. I recall on one occasion having a little adventure with a lion that almost scared mo out of my wits.

With a partner I was working a claim in tbe mountains near Ouray, and ono day before the very cold weather of tho inter set in we both went to town to get sonio supplies, leaving our little cabin on tho mountain side alone. "It came on to snow so hard soon after we arrived in Ouray that we did not get a chance to return to our claim for thrco days. On our return journey we noticed as wo wcro climbing tho hills tbe tracks of mountain lion leading toward our cabin. Presently, however, as we got nearer and nearer to our little homo we lost tho track of the animal, and the sight of an open window, which had been carefully closed on our departuro for town, caused us to forget all about the lion and its presence. "Well, I had reached tho window and was just about to put my head into the apartment when there came a terrible growl and tbe next instant a great yellow body sprang through tho opening right on my back, its claws catching my buckskin coat and ripping it open to my waist, turning mo completely over and into tho snow.

My partner took tho dangerous situation in nt a glanco and whipped out bis gun. Then the infernal lion turned on him, making a fearful leap in his direction. Before he could fire the infuriated beast was upon him, and, seizing him by the slack of his eoat, shook him as though he were but a rat. I was on my feot by this time, aud, drawing my revolver, I sneaked up and put a bulllot right through his bead. Tho animal groaned and fell bock dead and my partner drew his breath freely onco more.

It was a close call, but neither of us was hurt, and the lion's skin in another VM'ck as serving as a rug at the ioot of my bunk." Washington Star. BOSTON'S EWPTY PEWS. Figures Show That the City's Church Have 30,000 Unoccupied Sittings. Massachusetts, and more particularly Boston, has been regarded for ninny years as being a great center of superfluous women. Xow it seems likely to achieve a reputation as tho city of an abundance ot church sittings.

This is gathered from a report submitted at tho annual meeting ot the Boston City Missionary society. Ths statistics show that tbe Protestant churches of tbe city provido over 30,000 surplusit tings for the Protestant population, even were they all to attend church at any ons service. These figures are tho result of a careful investigation made by the in November, 1897, when tho attendance at the various services on a given Sunday was obtained by an accurate count. Out of 265 places of worship count was made in 234. Tbe aggregate attendance at tbe several services and meetings was 64,534.

An estimate, of those present at the 29 churches where no count was made brings this figure up to 103,313. Based on the estimate of the seating capacity of the Protestant churches niado in 1892, the figures prove that if all tbe worshipers of every description gathered in the churches at one service the churches would have only been two thirds filled. From tho experience of the superintendent of tho society he states that 144,000 may be regarded as tho total available attendance at any one church service. From this It may be seen that if the sum total of all thoso who had attended all the services bad gone to church at any' one given service there would have been ovor 80,000 empty seats. New York Press.

The Gargoyle. It la only recently that tho word gargoyle bas found its way into our dictionaries. Kven technical glossaries of repute passed it over a few years ago. But now it is not only included, but chosen for illustration, in lexicographical works that are enlivened with woodcuts. We find our predecessors not only contrived a means to prevent tho damp that would have ensued if rainwater had not been diverted from falling off their roofs into the foundations of their buildings, but 60 treated theso discharging spout heads from their gutters as to make them give considerable ornamentation.

Tbe application of tbe term gargoyle to these contrivances is said to be due to tho dragonlike character that was at first given to them, coupled with the fact that there was a particular dragon known by tfiat same that kept the district around Boucn in trepidation. Directly theso fantastic spouts came into use they were treated as works of art, in so far as two were never made alike. Those who have studied the subject aver that many of them aro fino works of sculpture, and they aro often so adroitly placed as to bring out tho salient points of a fabric and conduco to its pleasing effect. They were employed from about the middle of tho thirteenth century and were gradually improved in form and delicacy of design and execution. At first they were somewhat short and thick, but after a time wcro made longer, to project farther and with luoro elegant details.

Nomads Who Make Hungary Their Ksv tlonul Home nnd Who GenermUy Refuse Ail Attempts to Civilize The in A Weird Lot of Musical Tramps. Fashion's fondness for Hungarian orchestras the world over and a recent society scandal in which an American girl i. iis implicated have drawn the attention of two continents to those eurlons people tailed Tziganes in Hungary, Bohemians in France and gypsies In England and the United States.

Hungary is the home of tbe Tziganes in so far as they have any home. In all other European countries they were persecuted for ccDturles as emis rariesof tho evil one and enemies of Christianity, but Hungary took pity on them and treated the wanderers like lost children. It was in the fifteenth century thai they flret made their appearanoe there. King Sigisinond received them hospitably and recommended to tbe charity and pity of tho publics "these poor wandering peo pie, without a home and hounded by every one." There aro now about 180,000 of these Tziganes In Hungary. They may be divided into three classes those who go bareheaded and barefooted, the wandering gypsies; those who wear headgear and thecs on Sundays, the seminomads, and thoso who always wear hate and shoes and who have to a great extent abandoned the nomadic lives of their ancestors.

These latter are the most civilized and are generally musicians, who excel In the playing of Hungarian tunes. When the Tziganes arrived In Hungary, they were not trained musically, but they soon appropriated Magyar music, and oat of it have made a crude and weird art of their own. Their favorite instrument la tho "bas 'alja, as they term the violin. Some play the harp, but they have a marked aversion for tho piano, for the reason that it cannot be easily moved about. In Hungary no fete or festival takes place without a Tzigane orchestra.

At election times a Tzigane band always beads the electoral processions, and no wedding is considered complete without their music for the dance. The Tziganes havo become natural musicians, playing from inspiration and generally being unable to read music, tiszt. who made a study of the Tziganes, says that sauslo la to them a sublime language, a airsMo song, whioh they often make use of la stead of conversation, and that they have in fact, invented a music of their own. Ono of tho favorite abodes of these strange people Is near the frontier cf Cro ntia. It is there that tho topical Bohemians are seen at their best.

Their "camps" are always set up at some distance from the nearest town or village, often In close proximity to some forest. The Tslgane huts for they aro nothing more consist of a Einglo room, unless the owner is extremely well to do, and generally devoid of furniture. Tbe Tziganes eat and sleep on tho bare boards. At all times of tbe day there is a smoldering fire In the hut, over which bangs a sandstone pot, for the Tzigano bas no fixed hour for his meals, but eats whenever he feels hungry. The ordinary bill of fare consists of potatoes, stews, milk and lard.

On festive occasions such titbits are Indulged to as hedgehogs, foxes and squirrels. Oats are considered trained to hunt hedgehogs and foxes. They have a peculiar manner ot cooking foxes. They are placed In running water for a coupio or days ana men cooxea uaaer ooi coals in a holo in tho gTOOnd. The Tziganes havo a partiality for the flesh dead animals, and whenever a farm a Stable takes fire they rush to tbe scene in the bopo of finding the carcass of some dead animal.

Like certain oriental races, they use their fingers in conveying food io their mouths. Tzigane women, as a rulo, go about haM nakea, tho young girls wearing nothing but a small apron, excepting when they go to the neighboring town. Tbe men wear but little clothing, and until the timo of their marriage, at between 13 and 15 years of age, they go about almost naked. After marriage, however, they attire themselves in the gaudy Hungarian national costume, of whioh they are very proud. Cast off garments of some Magyar nobleman tbey have a great weakness lor, and when they are able to obtain a bright red coat their satisfaction is complete.

Tho Tziganes have horror of work or restraint of any kind. Even those who have fixed residence like to roam about when tbey foci so inclined. So firm la this wandering instinct with them that they have no word in their language to signify "remain." Most of tbe trades they adopt uro suitable) for a noniodio life. They are either horsa dealers, blacksmiths, sheep shearers or. and above all, beggars.

It is quite impossible to take a country drive through some provinces of Hungary without coming across a band of Talganee, some ono of whom will surely follow a carriage for a half hour or more until he has received a coin. The Tziganes have given themselves the nickname of "poor men," and tho habit of begging is so thoroughly rooted in them that even well to do members of their race, whom one occasionally meets in Budapest driving pure blooded horses and wearing costly jewels, cannot resist tho temptation of asking for money. Many unsuccessful attempts havo been made to restrain tho vagabond propensities of tho Tziganes. Tho Emperor Joseph II onco tried to compel them to bave a fixed residence and allotted tbem land, distributed agricultural implements among tbem and ordered them to cultivate their land; but, instead of taking up their residences in tho comfortable bouses they had been presented with, tho Tziganes turned tbe bouses into stables for their horses and cows and sot up tents near by for their own use. To prevent the corn given them for 6oed from sprouting tbey boiled it.

But the emperor was not discouraged. He abolished the Tzigane language, as be bad already done away with tho Magyar languago, did away with the very name of Tzigano and finally took their children from them to be educated by German and Hungarian farmers, who to bring them up according to a strict code of discipline. But the little Tziganes grew up with all the instincts of their race, and at the first opportunity tbey escaped and rejoined their parents. Nagy Karpad Cor. New York Times.

RECORD OF THE ARIEL.

feaqr Window on Wheels That Flit Through Pennsylvania Coal Regions. Flitting through the anthracite ooal regions of Pennsylvania in a bay window on wheels at 40 miles an hour has been the occupation for 25 years of Conrad Bower, engineer of the Ariel. This little engine consists of a closed car about 23 feet long. Tbe front half is like a glass bay window, with four large, comfortabls revolving chairs upholstered in leather. The rear half contains the motive power that propels this fawn colored, trim little car all along the Beading railway, from Philadelphia to the coal regians and from New York to Willlamsport, wherever the officials of the company desire to go.

For years Engineer Bower ran the Gem, a similar engine, up to 1873, and then took charge of the Ariel. "The Ariel," said Engineer Bower, "has carried many distinguished men, including railroad presidents, statesmen, foreign noblemen, the Vanderbllts, General Simon Cameron, Judge Packer and Mr. Walter, the eUltor of the Uondoo Times, who, by the wayt paid Our little bay window a nice dDxnplixnont in his paper when he got back home, did not keep a register or autograph hook. Tbe bead officials might not bare liked It, Toil eoc, sometimes leading men come through hero on private business, and they do not wish to be known." Dnring the Mollie Magnlre riots the Ariel was much In demand. At that time President Franklin B.

Gowen of the Beading railroad, who took the lead in the prosecution of the murderers in the coal regions, did a great deal of quick traveling from his office in Philadelphia to the coal regions, 90 miles away. He went up and down tbe road almost daily for months, using the Ariel always, with Engineer Bower In charge Th06e were dangerous days for the Beading railroad's president, as there was no telling what deviltry of the Mollies would lead them to wreck the Ariel and kill tbe man who had determined to destroy their organization. Said Engineer Bower: "Mr. Gowen was one of the bravest men I ever met. Cool headed and 6hrewd, ho knew no fear.

In daylight or darkness he" took his Beat in tbe Ariel, and away we went. He never drew tho curtains of the bay window, but 6at fully exposed as we flew up and down the road. I sever knew him to carry a revolver. Frequently I took Mr. Gowen out into tbe gloomy mining patches.

We stopped at some out of the way place here and there and picked up a strange man who rode with President Gowen some distance, In close conversation, and then left the Ariel as mysteriously as he had appeared. I must have carried that strange man 20 different times, but it was not until the great murder trials began in the coal regions that I knew be was tbe famous detectivo Mc Parlan, who did Mr. Gowen's secret work among the Mollie Maguires, At one time I waited at Locust Gap while Mr. Gowen was at Sunbury.

A littlo man with a sunburned overcoat strapped about his loins was grinding a familiar air from a hand organ which he had fastened on a wheelbarrow. "You won't find that kind of a hand organ in Kew York very often," said a man who prowls about the city.

But you don't see any more German bands in the streets. The musio unions of the city drove them out. The street bands interfered with the concerts that used to be given. People wouldn't pay to hear musio when tbey could hear it for nothing, and tbe street bands in those days tooted as well as the orchestras. "I think that you will find that soma sort ot ordinance was passed prohibiting 6treet bands from playing in certain districts.

I know, however, that the action of the music unions drove away the street bands. Then the organs came in great numbers. But the musio unions never made any fight on tbem. I don't know why. And we had organs day and night and every kind.

"I remember there was a man in Elizabeth etreet who repaired organs. He never made any, for most of them are made in Berlin. But he got rich repairing street organs. Ho made so much money he retired from business. I have forgotten his name, but tbe timers in Elizabeth street will reoaU it.

The last I heard of him he was living in tho old country, enjoying himself as hugely as princes aro believed to do. Why, ho niado $500,000 just tinkering up hand organs." New York World.
