TTow Mm Parnell Lives. ' It will no doubt interest your read ers to know (writes a Plymouth cor respondent) that Mrs. Parnell hns re cently leased Trematon C?stle, near here. There she now lives in utter se clusion, neither visiting nor visited, aud, ns far as I know, rarely steps outside her grounds except to attend the Church of St. Stephen's-by-Sal tasa, near by. Her present home is of, the utmost old-world beauty, a great portion of it still being exactly as it was originally erected by its feudal builders. The castle stands high and alone, enbosomed in profuse foliage, successfully isolated from th? environ ment of its Cornish surroundings, but still, of course,indissolubly connected with English history. From the casual glimpse one catches of the famous ch?telaine m church one can gain some idea of the overmastering charm nnd irresistible sweetness of her man ner. Mrs. Parnell, I believe, is pos sessed of some wealth, and recently, as a sister of Sir Evelyn Wood, she successfully contested a probate suit, which greatly added to her means. London Mainly About People. A Romance of Real Life. The Duchess of Arcos, wife of the new Spanish minister to the United States, was Virginia Woodbury Lowery of Washington, D. C. A distinguished ancestor, Daniel Woodbury of New England, once held the position of secvctavy ot the treasury under Jack son, am.- was afterwards a justice of the supreme court. Montgomery B'air, a cabinet officer during the ad ministration of Lincoln, was of the same family. . ' x The-romantic courtship of the Duke ard Duchess of Arcos began over twenty years ago. At that time he was young Count Brunetti of the Spanish legation in Washington, an under secretary, whose admiration for the boautiial Miss Lowery resulted in an engagement, to which the parents objected on account of the youth of their daughter, and the fact that Count Brunetti was appointed to a remote South American post, where months were required to send a commuuica1 tiou. The engagement was of eighteen years'duration, and Count Brunetti in that time inherited estates and a title in Spain. When he returned to Washington he found Miss Lowery even more beautiful in her maturity than when he had left her. Mrs.Low ery, who was an invalid; died shortly before the wedding of her daughter, which occurred in August, 1895, at the summer home of the family in New London, Conu., aud was quietly cele brated. -Harper'^ Bazar. Lace Coat for the l?own. ! Every gown has a lace coat nowa days, and probably no fashion of the last quarter of a century has won a fonder place in the hearts of women? The coats are not only pretty in thei ?elves, but are so useful, so dresS and so^universally becoming that only the very diminutive woman has any reason not to wear one. Handsome lace is usuallv so much "capital" to the woman who has to dress well, and a lace coat is a veritable economy. It is elaborate enough for most formal occasions, it eau be worn with differ ent gowns and it lends beauty And brightness to a plain, unpretentious frock ns nothing else could. Two very beautiful evening dresses, made with'lnce coats, were made for a re cent-bride. The first was a rose pink satin, with tight skirt ornamented at the hem with several rows of tucks. Thc lace c at was sewn with tur quoises .nml.pcarls, and. a little, blue tulle was lightly swathed iaround the sljciiiders and formed the long sleeves, which,'fell we'll over' the haiids. The second frock had a plain lace coat of (*'cutaway" shape, but it reached to within half a yard of the bottom of tho skirt at the back. It was slightly full at the waist, and drawn through an old p^arl aud paste buckle at the back. It was worn over a skirt of deliciously fresh lettaee-green mousseline de-soie. At the centre of the low bodice was a posy of Parma violets and a cluster of pink roses nestling in a bunch of lace. -New York Commercial Advertiser. r . Sr*?l Life of ii Queen.

If one went to Paris today and quoted Wordsworth's well-known line, thc knowing boulevardier would burst i?to laughter. The explanation is to be found in a story which is told by the London Morning 'Post's corre spondent. A certain Henrietta Pon sot,a woman of 37,has seven children. Her pleasing custo^n was to enter a." likely restaurant or pastry cook's shop and order say, a chicken and a supply of toothsome cakes, the same being served on a table round which were ranged her seven children. After seeing the banquet fairly beguu Madam Ponsot requested the shop keeper to accompany her to "the of fice" to get paid. The "office" turned out to be tho police station, where payment took the form of the follow ing explanation: "The children wero hungry. It is no reason because I have not a penny that they should starve. At the present moment they are eating the cakes of this pastry cook, who is waiting for payment. He ris likely to wait a long time." The result was that the tradesman left with some precipitation to put a period to the efforts of the seven young Pousots. The lady has been sentenced to four months' imprisonment. Antidote Agninst Stinj*. According to Dr. Friedlander, of Wiesbaden, ele ^tricity is an antidote against stings of insects. His plan in such cases is to apply a constant cur rent and to place a negative cathode on the spot stung by the insect. Gal vanization-produces a rather strong sensation of burning, but at the same time the pain from the sting dis appears, and if th? electricity is ap plied very soon after the wouud has been inflicted there is little or no swelling. The current, bowever,does excellent service even if it be not ap plied until after some time has elapsed, for it removes the pain and also quick ly reduces the swelling. The supposi tion is that the poison which the in sect has injected through the skin, is neutralized and rendered innocuous by the current Dr. Friedlander has repeatedly made experiments of this kind on persons who have been stung by bees and wasps, and has invariably found them successful. He naturally believes that a similar result would bo obtained in tue cases of persons stung by other insects, ?KESI BEEF FOB MANILA PROBLEM OF SUPPLYING IT TO OUR TROOPS THERE SOLVED. The Kefrigerntor Vessel Glacier and the Novel Cargo She Carries - Five or Six Days Required to Cool the Meat Suffi ciently - A Novel Defrosting Process, Two million pouuds of beef which cannot spoil has left New York for tho Philippines, states the Sun; All went in one vesBel for tho feeding of tlib navy ani army engaged in operations in aud around Manila. ? I The problem of sending fresh pro visions to the Philippines was much greater than Cuba or Porto Pico pre v?nt?d. Two difficulties had to be bv?rc?me. One was distance; the other was climate. The simple de vice of keepiug the meat fresh by placing it in rooms cooled to 30 de grees, which is sufficient for a short trip and moderate climate, would be aosolutely worthless if attempted for a long trip and the high temperature through which a vessel must pass in going to the Philippines. To overcome the difficulty a ship specially built for carrying fresh mutton-'frotu AUstraliit to England was purchased; She is how the United States refrigerator vessel Glacier. She proved herself practical for that work, aud is therefore not even au experiment now that, she has, t? do simila/ work fdr the United States troop's at Manila. The navy depart ment advertised for sealed bids for between a million aud a half and two million pounds of prime beef for tho cargo of the vessel last month. The contract was awarded. Experiments as to the shrinkage in weight of frozen meat were made, proving that there was not more thau one-quarter of 1 per cent, loss iu the process of freez ing. These tests sbowed that the whole substance of thc meat mhst ro main in it or there would have been fnr greater losses iu weight. Orders were then dispatched to the western agents o? the r-bmpauy to which the contract was let to purchase 28,009 'of the very best stall-fed beeves. These were loaded on 100 of the best cattle cars and shipped to New York. Hero they were unloaded, kept for a few days until the}' had recovered en tirely from the trip and then slaugh tered. Each, animal was carefully ex amined, and if found in any way dofective was rejected. As each car cass was passed it was hurriedly quar tered and slid into'the refrigerating room, where, hanging on huge hooks, it was gra lually cooled. Tests had been made hero also to ascertain how long it would take these quarters to freezo through to the bone. It was at first thought that when submitted to a temperature of 15 degrees only 72 dr 90 hours at most would be necessary to freeze the meat through so hard that a knife could not be pushed into it; Experiments prove ! that from firj to six days were needed for absblutb certainty; so all of the 2,000,000 pounds of beef have been frozen for six days before being loaded ou the Glacier. The method of testing the freezing is itself inter esting. A'brace and bit is used, just as if you were going to boro a hole into an oak dour to put on the hinge--. At first the bit is sunk only four inches in the thick hindquarter. It is drawn out, and then a small thermometer like those used by phy sicians in taking the temperature, is inserted. It is left in a few minutes, And when drawn out should show a temperature of about 20 degrees. Then the hole is bored deeper, going right to the bone; the thermometer is again inserted; and if it again regis ters 20 degrees it is certain that the quarter is frozen through; After the first lot of 250; 000 pounds was well frozen, the task of loading began. The engines of the refrigerat ing apparatus on board ship had been nt work, the pipes running all arouud the sides, the bottom and top were heavily coated with frost. If you W-anted tb go in there you had to wear a heavy overcoat. It waa arctic and was meant to be. Night after night the work went on, 250,000 pounds of beef being packed away each night. By the use of refrigera tor cars for transportation across tho river not one of the quarters of beej was exposed to the air for moro than ten minutes. At Manila a tremendous refrigera tor storehouse is now being completed for receiving the cargo of frozen beef. It will not be exposed to the tropical heat of the Philippines for many minutes-only long enough to put it into the refrigerator rooms. Nor will it be delivered to the uavy and army immediately, for if this t'jozcu meat were allowed to thaw out suddenly in that terrific heat it would not be in the best condition for consumption. There is a defrosting arrangement in the Manila "refrigerating storehouse. It is a series of rooms with gradually rising temperatures. Tho first room is kept at a temperature of 20 degrees and then gradually raised to 35 de grees. The second starts nt 3t? de grees and carries the temperature up to 15 degrees, aud thus the process of defrosting continues, gradually rising the meat to the temperature of the normal carcass. In this way tho fa voring juices of the beef aro preserved, s .hat roast beef will taste as if the ox had beeu killed only a day or two before. "When it is remembered that the trip to Manila from New York will occupy ten weeks, even though the Glacier goes by way of the Suez Canal, it eau be easily understood that any thing less thau freezing the meat would not preserve it. Beef is shipped to Europe unfrozen, being kept at a temperature of about 86 degrees, and arriving in good condition, but the trip is a short one and the temperature, of the air is moderate, but only a freez ing temperature will preserve meat properly for so long a time as ten weeks, especially when the vessel has to'pass theough the Mediterranean and tho lied seas, the Indian and Pa rino oceans. The Glacier will stop oilly four times for coal and water be fore l eaching Manila. In fact this is the only element o?' risk in the entire trip. The ou.y possibility of any mis hap lies in the breaking down of her machinery or tho giving out of coal and water. Every precaution has beeu taken in those particulars, for the vessel has just come out of dry dock, whore she received a thorough over hauling from stem to stern, and all arrangements for getting coal and water at Port Said and other coaling stations have been perfected; It is the first time that frozen mgat has been shipped in any such quan tity anywhere in the world. The pains were taken to make this trip a success are warranted by the antici pation that it is by no means the last, load of fresh beef which the Glacier will have to take t > Manila. Even though Aguinaldo surrenders prompt ly, tho army and navy will have to re main in the Philippines for many yeai'B to come, and the Glacier will solve tho problem of furnishing fresh and gemrishing raoati ?AFFLED STAMP COLLECTORS. Their Unavailing lirtorts to Get Some of , the Isftue for Guam. When Captain Bichar?* P. Leary sailed recently on the Yosemite for the island of Guam, our new possession in the Piicific, of which he is to bo the first governor, he loft behind him a weeping retinue of professional stamp collectors and dealers, who' have pes tered certain officers of the postoffice department ever since to aid them in setting right A matter in fthich they insist th?t the captain m?db a serious mistake. The new governor of Guam will, it is understood^ be given the same lati tude and held to the same account as the governors of other new colonial possessions of the United States-that is, he will be expected to collect r?ye?nes from all legitimate sources and make them pay the expenses of insular administration. The stamp men, thinking to turn au honest penny and do a patriotic deed at thc same time, resolved to get hold of a large quantity of the new isstie of Guam postage stamps. - Their idea wa? that Captain Leary would gladly sell thom the stamps and apply the rev enue to Iii? g?nerai governni?nt?li fund: Leary had asked th? treasury depart ment to supply him with a consider able issue of the stamps, which, owing to tho high pressure under which the bureau was working, were to be sim ply the brdiuary United States stamps with the wdrd Guam imprinted across their faces in r. different color. So re solved was he to carry his stock of stamps out with him that the sail ing of the ship was somewhat delayed in order to be sure to have the supply aboard. The stamp men accordingly offered to purchase his entire stock for cash, but to their utter astonish ment he refused to sell. They then offered him a premium On tho face value of the stamps, bat he remained unmoved. They next pointed out to j him that he had a slock estimated to I be sufficient to last his insular domin ! ion a year and that they would be cou I tent with enough for a month or six j weeks, within which time he would : be able, by leaving au order at Wash I ington,to have Iiis supply replenished ' by the next ship going out. Wheu that proposal was rejected, they begged him,at least,for au order npon the postoffice department for a small surplus issue, for which they offered to pay him in advance, so that he could carry a thousand dollars or more away with him to start his colonial bank account; tho postoffice depart ment and the treasury authorities were j willing to accept such an order and . honor it, but the captain still re? j maiued adamantine in his resolve. j One of the stamp men tried to reach I his heart through his private sBcr? ? tory; but the t?cretary answered that, ! anyway, the stamps were -seal?d in ? . tin box; and, therefore, could not be 1 got at. "As if;" groaned the urif?r ; tanate collector; in describing the in j terview; "we would not have been I willing to pay ten cents for a can opener." ! The captain sailed away, and the stain]) men are left disconsolate. They believe that they can get their stamps if they know to whom to write on thc island of Guam, as their representa tive would simply have to go to the postoSice and buy the necessary quan tity and mail them to this country. All this, however, would mean a long delay, considerable uncertainty aud no little difficulty iu making payments, as there are no known banks in Guam, and it would be risky to seud cash on so 10 lg a journey; The postoffice de: ! partaient does not see any way to help j them put. Harvest on the Yukon. It was just on th? eve of harvesting j time when I first visited" the creeks : says a writer in Scribner's, describing : a visit up the Yukon river. lu a day or two the tiow of water from the gulches where the snow lay thickest would make ahead sufficient to wash thc yellow grain out of the dumps. In ; the four miles of Eldorado and the ten ' miles of Bonanza lines of flumes and their d?pendent sluice boxes-tho lumber for which had been dragged i from the Dawson sawmill by husky ; dogs or cut with whipsaws-formed a) j network around the string of cabins occupied by claim owners and their workman, and around piles of clayish colored dirt, thaw.ed out inch by inch during thc short winter days, which contained virgin wealth amounting to nearly $10,0(10,000. If yon descended by the ladders into the holes beside the dumps to tho drifts you soon comprehend that reap ing the harvest, once you have a claim, is not so easy as picking" wild cran berries. It is dogged work to build tires day after day, ruuuiug the lisle of suffocation and permanent injury to the eyes by the smoke, and pulling up the dirt, bucketful after bucketful, by meaus of a windlass,with-the ther mometer forty below zero and* your j dinner to cook. In one spot of three or four square feet thc nuggets aro so thick that you can pick them out by J hand as a farmer's boy picks potatoes out of a hill. In juxtaposition there may be as many more square feet which are not considered worth thaw ing and sluiciug,and so the drifts seem like the path ol' the man trying t? make his way to tho light in dark ness.

"I am quite willing to contribute to the-er-amusement of the evening," interjiosed the amateur poet, who was bursting torcadhislatest.nnd couldn't get anybody to take the hints he threw out.
