At the December meeting of the Arch aeological Institute ot America Frot. Myron R. Sanford, of Mlddlebury College, read a most interesting paper upon "The Material of the Tunica and Toga," and we extract the following from the Journal of the In stitute: With the passing of the simple toga and tunica of the early years to the more ornate and complicated terms of dress there came to Rome many new fabrics to vie with wool. Many Latin writers tell of the use of linen, cotton, bilk and various mixed stuffs. The idea students gain from the perusal of classic literature is that rarely did the newer materials actually supplant wool in making up the vrtiious articles of cloth. No one senis to have undertakf n the formid able task of an c.al orate study of the exist ing paintings and statuary representing the Roman, dress, to deterrnino how far the artists intended to suggest various mate rials in their drapery. In some of the por trait statues in Fompeii it 1 unreasonable to beleve that the clumsy, thick folds do not represent some form of wool, and the lighter and sometimes diaphanous folds the finer fabrics. Frequently ip. painting, and not rarelyin statuary, "different materials are to be seen in the clothing belonging to the same figure. The Latin department at Mlddlebury Col lege has been interested in experimenting with a considerable variety of materials in imitation of some of the well-known fig ures. Resides coming to certain conclu sions regarding the graceful and stiff fold ing of different cloths, the students had realized a fact insutliciently emphasized in the manuals namely, that no material, from the heaviest wool to the most delicate silk, will of itself take the beautiful folding shown in the ordinary statue or painting. Tho drapery in the latter is always one of two results it Is either taken from the plaits and foldings of the clothing of the model draped beforehand with the most painstaking care or it is the convention alizing of the artist. Not until a trial is made will one realize how elaborate the process must have been to produce the ap pearance of the toga of Hoi tensius, for the accidental disarrangement of which on the crowded streets he sent a challenge to his friend. Often the simplicity of certain effects Is, after all, an elaborate effort. For example, the Commodus of the Vatican collection seems to have the drapery hanging from the body in the most natural manner, while an attempt to Imitate it will show that it is a case of art concealing art. The sim plicity is only apparent, and occasionally no imitation with material of any sort whatsoever can follow the contortions in the drapery of certain classic figures. A Story of Keokuk. Literary. The latent man to attract attention to his home town of Keokuk, Walter Harr, the author of -"Shacklett," says that the truth of the following story was vouched for by Major Hugh R. Relknap. U. S. A., the son of one of the actors In it. President (Irant had grown somewhat weary of hearing from Secretary Noble or Secretary Relknap all about every man brought before the Cabinet for an im portant appointment, for the secretaries had always "known the man well In Keo kuk." One day. Grant said in a way that caused the Cabinet in session to hold its breath : "Gent!en.-n. I did something to-day that I never expected to do in my life but 1 did it." "What was RV somebody at the Cabinet table gasped. "1 appointed a man collector of the port of New Orleans, who never lived in Keo kuk." "Who fs he?" everybody laughed. President Grant told his name. "When 1 landed in Keokuk, a poor law student." said Secretary Relknap, "I asked a man at the top of the hill the way to the office of a lawyer to whom 1 had a letter. The man I asked as this man. We lived neilil ors for ten years, and I can heartily say that h is one of the best " And General Giant Immediately acknowT edgtil defeat in cue of his dearest am bitionsto find a man for an important ef fice who was not more or less of a "Keo kuk man!" Aluriniiie Prospect. Chicago Post. The possibilities of the Schley inquiry are multiplying daily. Admiral Schley retains additional counsel every twenty-four hours and Admiral isampsou now has retained a New York lawyer to represent him. The retention of counsel by the principal wit ness, while It is not frequent, has prece dents especially at coroner's inquests. In the present inquest It suggests the possibil ity that the Navy Department acted hastily in sttHii!j upon the place where the trial is to take place. There are other wit nesses "a multitude of witnesses," in fact. Many of them may fear the disclosure of the Inquiry and may have counsel present t interpose objections and plead privilege. If Admlr tl Sampson's precedent Is followed a god-slzed circus tent qr a convention hall will be necessary. The element of time rnu-'t be eonsldertd also. With a hundred spe.ial counsel objecting, th Schley In quiry v. ill be as long as the Tichborne trial. THE LIVESTOCK MARKETS CATTLi: ItOTAllLY STKAIIV, AVFI 11 AV iNCKllTAIN OITLOOK.

There were not many fresh arrivals of cattle, but the supply was about as larKe as expected at thi.s time in the week. All the. different grades were not represented, and the quality generally was not the most satisfactory, but the offerings were finally taken by local killers at what salesmen considered nearly steady prices compared with those current for equal kinds at the close of last week. The out look for the ensuing week is a little un certain, but some dealers believe there will bo a reaction in prices of cattle not fully up to tho requirements of buyers in quality ami fat. There also seems to be a feeling that the strictly desirable cattle will sell at prices that will compare .favorably with those current at the close of last week.

The receipts of hogs were exceedingly small and a small proportion of the arrivals were on the market, the balance having gone out In first hands. There were not enough to cause active competition between buyers. but the demand was sufficient to exhaust the supply promptly, and sales were at un evenly higher prices. There . were not enough to establish a range In prices for any grade, and, therefore, it is difficult to make a true comparison, but most dealers considered the market fully 5c higher than at the close of last week, and believe that a much larger supply could have been sold on that baris. Sales included ir8 lb hogs at S'j.72i2, and rather ordinary 1G3 lb hogs at $6.20. Reports from other places this morn ing indicate that there is a very strong tendency in values, and salesmen feel en couraged over the outlook for the near fu ture.

Un null tens of n Chlnniiinn i of Them Have Married Amerlenn ii nd n Seventh I to Do So. rhilale!iiliia Times. Still another of the famouly pretty Ah Fong: sisters, of Honolulu, will be led to the m?rria?e altar by an American. The Honolulu newspapers sny that the ap proaching wedding: in the great Ah Fons mansion in the suburbs of Honolulu will be the mo?t notable event in point of cere mony and style of any similar affairs that have taken place there. Miss Sue Ah Fong will be wedded to Samuel S. Hocroft, who had been considered one of the foremost matrimonial catches in Oregon for several years. He Is a Harvard University man, an heir to larj?e mining wealth and a trav eler and polished club man. After ten years of mingling In society in Europe and much of America he has laid his heart at the- feet of a lovely daughter of the trop ical islands In the eouth peas and he snaps his fingers at all talk about the Chinese father of his prospective bride. No home in all the broad Pacific has been so well known by American and Kritlsh naval officers and globe-trotting tourists for longer than a dozen years as the Ah Fong mansion in Honolulu. Naval officers say that very few homes have been so hospit ably open to them in their cruises as has been that of Ah Fong, the millionaire Chi- neses in the Hawaiian Islands. Ask any naval officer who has been aboard a Fhip that lay at anchor in the harbor of Hono lulu whether he remembers the Ah Fong home and note the Hitting of pleasant mem ories through his brain. If he 13 talkative be may tell you of the liberal and and charming hospitality dispensed in the Ah Fong mansion among the wonderful grounds filled with trees and shrubs from all tropical lands and cf the thirteen Ah Fong girls ranging from toddling tot to winsome young womanhood. He may tell you also of the Oriental dinners served In the Ah Fong home, where covers were laid for lifty and more guests; of the lovely balls in the bamboo room; of the many piazzas where ladies and gentlemen were welcome day and evening and entertained with music and mirth that seemed to have no end. If he has a bit of sentiment be neath his blue uniform, he may tell you of the languorous ballads he heard sung at the Ah Fong home, of the black-eyed, jolly Ah Fong sirls and their skill In dancing. K XTERTAINED AMERICANS. Among foreign people there have been few more ardent admirers of Americans than the big Ah Fong family. Long before Hawaii became an American possession the Ah Fongs longed for the union. When the Americans soldiers were on their way to the Philippines and stopped at Hawaii the Ah Fong girls were always among the first in Honolulu to entertain the boys in blue with feasts and public entertainment. Six of the sisters have married American hus bands and each has had a happy wedded life. Miss Janet Ah Fong is now engaged to marry a lieutenant in the United States army In the Philippines when his term of service will have expired next year. Four of the Ah Fong sifters have been educated at seminaries in San Francisco and Oak land, and Miss Martha Ah Fong (now wife of Lieutenant Dougherty, in Manila) took biKh rank at Mills Seminary as pianist and composer. The Ah Fong children comprise thirteen jrirls and one boy. The eldest (Mrs. Mor gan, of New Orleans) is about thirty-five years old and the youngest (Miss Anna) is just twelve. Mrs. Ah Fong is a hand some woman with olive complexion, large black eyes and unusually pleasing manners, and is of Portuguese birth. All the daugh ters have her disposition and love music, and some of them have the Chinese nose and high check bones of Papa Ah Fong. Hie mother's manners and the father's commercial sense is observable in every one of the Ah Fong progeny. Miss Nellie Ah Fong is now in Paris studying art. She is a strikingly handsome brunette, notwithstanding she inherits her father's slanting eyes more than any of her lister.-. Mrs. Arthur Johnstone, who was Miss Helena Ah Fong until four years ago, is a demiblonde, and the combination of her blue eyes and dark ej'elashes and hair and her pink and white complexion makes her the most generally accepted beauty of the family. Several of the sisters have 'their father's tall stature, but the rest are of petite figures. Three have a pronounced suggestion of Chinese almond shaped eyes, and nearly every one of them has the mother's complexion and soft mode of speech. No less an authority than Sir Edwin Arnold said that the few days he spent in the Ah Fong home a few years ago were the "most tropically charming" he ever knew in the South Seas. A PORTUGUESE WIFE. Along about 1S5S a young Chinaman named Wing Ah Fong came with a ship loTd of Chinese to Honolulu. He was high ly intelligent and genial, and with a little capital soon built up a prosperous business in Chlneso crockery, silks and bric-a-brac. He was soon the leading merchant In Hon olulu. He spent money freely, and was well liked by whites and blacks in the quaint old town. As he grew In wealth he made love to the. daughter, Concepclon, of a poor Portuguese sailor who had floated Into Hawaii. The Chinaman's ' money and his superiority to his fellow-coolies made him an accepted suitor. So Ah Fong was marri"d in 1SG-. Ills wife was line looking and energetic for that land of languor and siesta. Ah Fong invested in sugar cane plantations, r.nd in the old times, when sugar plantations paid almo?t Incredibly large profits, he grew very rich. In ten years Ah Fong was worth over $'JJ0,CHX), and was adding j:ö.XKj to it annually. He was careful and prudent, while his business as sociates drowsed and took no heed of the morrow. He was ceaselessly watching chances to buy plantation land cheap from the improvident Hawaiian. Hy li7) tlie Ah Fong sugar plantation, on th.? island of Hilo, had become one of the most produc tive there. While such men as Claus Spreckels made $700,00) and Ssuo.tA) annual ly from Fiigar exports. Ah Fong made ?5'Vxx) and $'.j,0h) annually in the same way. Meanwhile the Ah Fong family circle widened. There were four children, a boy and three girls in the home by 170. Ten more girls were born there during the next twenty years. Wing Ah Fong was an ideal father. He was delighted to see how each child resembled the mother in facial ex pression. He hired servants, galore, en larged his house every few years, and thought nothing too good for his babies. He used to find no greater joy than to get his wife and all his numerous girls in a great lumbering open carriage like a Con cord coach, that he had built according to his own ideas, and with himself as driver on the front seat, to go rolling slowly over the roads about Honolulu for a few hours at a time. He was passionately fond of song, unl motioning cheerfully to his black-eyed girls all about he would say, "You slngee alle vtlly tine song you know. I give you heap money." Then away the family would ku down the road, wllh the girls singing in chorus a medley of all popular songs of the day. It used to be a memorable sight to s'-e bowling alonr any of the lava-made roads in Honolulu, Papa Ah Fong, with his long queue dangling down his back, diiving in a carriage con taining his complete family circle all hing ing, laughing and having a noisy good time all by themselves. THE SON OF HIS FATHER. True Chinaman that he was, Wing Ah Fong never gave tip his idea that the Chi nese ways of living and doing things were a little superior to any others. He let the wife run the home and tlress and educate the daughters as she saw fit. The Ah Fong boy. however, was the father's to educate. So. while the Ah Fong girls dressed and were brought up according to American Ideas, their brother wore a queu had his head shaved and wore Mowing silken gar ment like his father.. Once his oldest daughters got him to don a black dress ccat and vest, when a party of naval offi cers came to the mansion to dine but the father afterward declared he would never again ho discredit hid race us to appear in other garb than that of a Chinese. Occa sionally, when he and his wagonload of guyly-gownej femininity drove down to the Honolulu wharf to give a welcoming hand to the people from the steamer or a man 1 vtäZ&y 3Cr North Pemisylvaiiia St OPPOSITE w iT. : f jTarmwf.T'i- c of-war he would please his daughters by putting his long, ebony pieue under his d-rby hat. The Ah Fong home in Honolulu is one of the sights that tourists are taken first to see. It stands in the western suburbs of the city, amid the most beautiful grounds in all the South seas. There are aenu's of palms, winding roads of lava, scores of beds of flowers, numerous llsh ponds, a wealth of tropical shrubbery and a dozen fountains and a half dozen artiftic grottoes. The house itself Is a composite a sort of pagoda and American seashore cottage. It is an enormous affair, with the oddest sort of piazzas about It. There are over a dozen piazzas. Envious parents of other marriageable daughters in Hono lulu say the Ah Fong parents had these many separate and distinct piazzas built in this fashion purposely to let each daughter in the family have a piazza safely to herself and her particular call rs of an evening. He the charge true or falsv it is a fact that all the Ah Fong piazzas so famous; in Honolulu are dear to tlie hearts of many a naval officer and Ameri can young man tourist In the Islands. RETURNED TO CHINA. In 10 Wing Ah Fong was supposed to be worth over 33,(').00n. He refused some ?'". 0 for his holdings on the island of Maul alone. There has always been a mystery about the reason that Mr. Ah Fong left Honolulu and sailed for a visit at his boy hood home in China in June, 1S.2. He spent months getting his enormous business in shape to leave it, and he sailed away with his boy. When months passed and Ah Fong was still unreturned there began to be rumors among the Chinese in Honolulu that the millionaire merchant hud been de tained in China. When a year went by and he was yet absent the gossips talked more actively than ever. Mrn. Ah Fong and her (laughters kept closely ot home for a long time and never spoke on the subject to out siders. The Chinese merchants In Honolulu began to say that Mr. Ah Fong had se cretly gone on a visit to a former wife and her two sons in Peking, and that by the laws of China he had come very near going to prison for a long term for deserting his family In China and going to a foreign land. The gossips had it also that Mr. Ah Fong had paid a fine of many thousands of dollars, and had settled down with a good sized fortune to live all his days with his lirst family in Peking. No one seems to know how much of this is gossip or fact. The Ah Fony family in Honolulu has. how ever, never. ?een its father since that day in July seven years ago. Every one in Honolulu believes the gossipy story as to the fate that befell Papa Ah Fong in Pq king. Moreover, th Honolulu newspaper have several times published the gossip about Mr. Ah' Fong without contradiction. The hospitality of the Ah Fong mansion has never waned during the years of ab sence of Mr. Ah Fong. The family liilness affairs have been kept in fine shape, while the real estate and shipping interests have largely increased in value since the annex ation of Hawaii to the United States. TIIK WIIISTL.1XG FACK Tellfnle Linen About I'emlulne Mouth Show i:tent of Habit. New York Sun. The tune was "See the Conquering Hero Comes," and the whistler, hidden some where behind a pile of dry goods boxes, was rendering the music with spirit and preciion. "That boy is a good whistler," said a reporter. "Boy?" said the manager of the depait ment. "That is not a boy; it is a woman. She is our assistant bookkeeper, and fhe certainly is one of the best whistlers for an amateur I ever heard. She mut be unusually busv now, or she wouldn't be rattlins? off that tune at such a lively rate. I've noticed that the deeper her interest in her work the better she whistles. The first time I heard her whistle back in the office I was inexpressibly shocked. " 'Why, my dear Miss Mellin,' I said, reallv this is most extraordinary.' " 'Yes,' said she, 'I suppose it is, but I've got to do it when I get down to real hard work. If you expect me to get through with all these accounts to-day you've Juf-t got to let me whistle.' "So she whistled, and phe's kept on whistling whenever we have an unusual rush of business. I don't know that it looks any worse to see a woman whistling when going about her work than when walking along the street." The customer ga-ped. "Do women whistle on the street?" was the anxious question. "Do they?" said the manager. "If you had kep.t your eyes and ears epen that question would be entirely superfluous. Why, the number of whirling women seen here is one of the first things that strikes a visiting foreigner as peculiar. Haven't you heard them? Haven't you s?en them? American men long ago earned for us the name of a whistling nation, and now the women are doing their best to keep up the reputation. "If you will watch them hurrying along the streets you will find that fully .7j per cent, have their lips puckered Into whist ling shap. Sometimes this preparatory pucker really amounts to fumethir.g and they emft shrill, unmusical noises, while again they are content with the dumb semblance of a whistle. In most cases these women, like my bookkeeper, are un conscious of their astonishing facial con tortlon. and merely whistle or strike the whistling expression as a relief to their high nervous tension. "Refore I became superintendent of this department I was on the road for several years and I noticed that the women of other cities are also given to whistling. You just ought to hear them out in Chi cago. There is no half-hearted compromise about the whistling out there. The notes ring out loud and bouyant. The old adage about whistling girls and crowing hens has no terrors for Chicago women, and they don't care a raj) who hears them. In Philadelphia they are more subdued, but they whistle, just the same. Rut if you want to hear good whistling from the feminine portion of the population soft, sweet, melodrama whistling--just go to Richmond. That town Is noted for many things, but If I was asked to give my opin ion of its chief title to fame I should say it is the women's proficiency in whistling. "Rut, taken all In all, New York beats the world on whistling. You will lind more cases of the whistling face here than anywhere else. This phase of the habit is to be deplored, for the tell-tale lines in the faco of .a confirmed whistler are not pretty. The upper lip is lengthened and furrowed with fine lines, and the corners of tlie mouth become wrinkled. These facial characteristics are more pronounced when the whistler performs his little turn from nervousness instead of pleasure; conse quently they are much in evidence, for it certainly !s nervousness that makes most people, especially women. whistle their way through life." kt Tiiitoiaai tiii: damfik's ; ati:s. IteiiiarLnble Pinn for Towing; Yenel AgnittMt Hie Current. London Mall. For centuries the navigation on the Danube, the largest river in Euro.m next to the Volga, wa- greatly hampered bv the so-called Iron dates, a celebrated de file in the river at the confine. of Hun gary, Servla and Rournania. At this place the river is crossed from shore to hr on a length of about X.) feet by rocky masses, and many a ship went aground in the Iron elates, which always bad been a terror to all navigators. It is the most magnificent and greatest river deliie ia the whole of Europe. During the years of lS.u to li a scheme was carried it here which involv d im mense difficulties. A t e. rial 21Z feet wide und seven feet Ree: was ent through the rocks of tlie Iron Cates. No hs.s than 1 l.'.-i cubic feet of rocky masses had to he blasted and more than .V),t'o0 cub'c feet of stone and earth had to be excavated. A great number of dams, of a combined length of Cä.O) feet, had to be built to pro tect the canal. The expenditure for this work amounted to about I'M.cm lh.rins. Since the completl n of this canal the navigation on the river has steadily in creased, and thousands of steamers and barks now sail every year down to th lilack sea.. One drawback, however, remained. The current in the Iron bites is iminei: averaging from fourteen to eiphteen f. t per second, and it as especially tllfüeult for the heavy ladfn r.lps to Meain up stream through the gate- or to tow the barges against the current. It was th re fore decided to build a special wire rope Pteamer for the purpose, of towing ship through the derile.

Caroline lirown, in Success. James Whitcomb Kilty, the pott, waa minutely and painstakingly writing h!a autograph, and an appropriate Fentiment, in three of his books, fcr admiring pur- chasers, when he was asked for his opinion on the subject of the expansion of Indiana literature. Belonging- to a later generation of "IIoos lers" than his frienl, General Wallace, h holds a slightly altered opinion, and has been spared the Littenuss of revilement. In fact, lie has been un agent of no mean power in removing the stigma from his na tive State. Wherever Knplirh is read, Riley's poems have won thMr way. should er to shoulder, with "licn-llur." Mr. Kilty said: "I do not know what I should nay about Indiana literature and the causes of its growth. 1 think, possibly, the reason it has attracted such wide attention, and ex panded in so mniiy directions, is that It drew inspiration and received impetus from havim? been lampooned and made fun of by every cultured 'Tom, Hick and Harry' of the outside world. "IVrsonally, the world has alwnys been !:lnd to me. but I do not know thftt 1 ex pected kindness. "It Is glorious to be barred to puffer the whips and scorn of self-accredited super iors! It roijced us, this superciliousness, to our real worth, and it inspired u to put forth our best efforts. That excellence in literature Is found in Indiana I im thank ful for. and 1 am glad tht I have out lived the ridicule, and that others have n cognized, of lite, thl special excellence ol th work of our authors, and given credit rr.ot generously. "1 am sure that the same- excellence will be found In our mlghborln;; Weatern States, and that we, in turn, will not withhold from them encouragement and recognition. Illinois has already developed! some rare poets, uhlo, too, ranks hish in Western literature. ' The b glnner. with his youthful imagi nation Ju.-t 'raniplnjc it," is too sensitive to the priiks of criticism. He stands in awe of the s lf-eor:ct!tuted critic, until he can not see anything else, and, necessarily, loses sight of the value of ideas, which, count more than all He ca:j never make up the loss In ytars. Indeed, be cn never r.rVin it. It Is cxperür.fr to be a writer In six months or a year that makes l.irn think hnnelf a failure. "A literary life mans work. He who would writ- rr.ut learn that, and learn to work hard. Eo k at liernhardt' nrt; look at the amount of hard work che goea through e very day, to make It irfect. Hovr n any writers do as she d.es? No good thing was v ry done quickly nothing of any value. The capacity for hard work has had much to do with the development cf li .liana literature." From his own statement. It may L In f.rred th it Mr. ltiley attribute s much off the exctllei.ee of Indiana literature to per histeiue in the f.u e of e arly and unparinc ridicule ami eh iiial of a hearing. HI? own experb-iue is proof of the soundness of h! theory, for. jis be hits related, it took twenty ears of pertinacious endeavor be fere he su"eded in having his work eo cpted by one- of th' old. high-class maga 7ir. s. lh;t at le ngth a day came when ht b.-canie a "w.li.cd contributor."
