mines, he asserts, were of extraordi
nary richness. He finisled his report
by saying:'"I can compare this isle
to that of Tarnish, from which Solod.
mon drew the gold which he employed
in the ornamentation of his temple."
Mr. W. PBlake, geologist and miner
alogist, sent by the American govern
ment in 1871, alsoi reports the exist
ence of considerable mineral wealth
in paying quantities. On the other
hand, Sir A. E. Geike, the well-mknown
English mineralogist, after makiing ani
18 months'- investigation of thk- min
eral resources 'of the 'island, :report
ed that this: co~itry, in his. oitaion

taining :scattered samples of nearly
every mineial, :but: none: in sufficient
quantities' to be of I corimercial. value.
TheAfact -remains that no mining

of late years has proved successful, al
though nothing has been attempted

Wester Farmer's Home Dazzles
with Bevel Plate Glass.
Structure to Outward Appearance
Only Ordinary Dwelling in Pretty
Country Town-Once Inside
Everything Is Changed.
Spokane, Wash.-Among the strang
ets houses on record, perhaps, in the E
United States is that of Alexander (
Stuart of Waitsburg, a one-time farm- E
er. He has spent the best part of two I
years in personally super'rising the I
construction of his residence, which.
when completed, will be one of the t
finest examples of interior finishing in
the northwest, resplendent in mosaic
floors of oak, mahogany and maple,
shining with 30 plate glass mirrors,
which ..weigh nearly half a ton, and
glowing with the dark red of fir, fin
ished in imitation of mahogany.
To outward appearance the house
is an ordinary 2%-story residence of
the better type on an ordinary street,
in an ordinary but: pretty country
town.. The first thing to attract atten
tion is: the yard, which, except for a
thin strip for roses and a strip ot
lawn some ten feet wide on the other
side; is plastered over with cement.
In this cement yard there are two
'large circular openings to the soil,
which will be utilized by shrubbery,
otherwise the exterior is harsh and
gray.
Once within, however, the eyes are
dazzled with the elegance which, even
in the unfinished state, is everywhere
apparent. The doors are of rare par
quetry design, with the elegant "rug
finish." .This design runs through liv
ing room. dining room, hall and par
lor, though no two rooms are floored
in the same design.
-The baseboards, door facings, etc.,
are of curly fir, with the grain brought
out clearly in deep red mahogany
stain. Fine pressed beadwork adorns
all the corners, giving a sense of riot
ous, richness.. The "walls are in hard
white' plaster, their simplicity con
trasting :sharply with the gorgeousness
of the wood finishing.
The sliding doors between hall and
dining room are' of: plate glass panels
of the finest grinding and polish, and
this scheme has been `carriedout in.
all the important doors' both' upstairs
and down. Between dining room and
kitchen the' door is merely of plate
i glass, and transparent. The windows,
even in the back kitchen, are of enor
h mously heavy Firench beveled glass,
so clear that one is hardly conscious
A of their presence.
. At every' turn the visitor' will be
1 met by his own image, advancing or
t retreating,/or sidling away from him:
at n: angle.:: From one:-point-in..the
°- parlor a person can stand and see all
y the persons and..objects in the dining
it room and 'even into the kitchdn.
e. Upstairsi several bedrooms :are fin
g: ished° in the parquet I flooring. and
ic 'stained imitation of mahogany as be
d' low.
SA Masonic :design ;on a tiny light

GREA LOVE STORIES
O HISTORY.
By :AL RT PAYSON TERHUNE
Henry Of ,ev re and Marguerite of Valois
(Copyrign uy TUe
Two young people to before the liff
altar facing the arehbis jp of Paris tac
one day in August, 1572 The girl was ga
slender and beautitful he man was th
tall, dark, homely, With a reat hooked ca.
beak of a nose0. The ung couple the
were both. under 20. All the nobility tal
of France had flocked to paris to wit- 10o
ness their. marriage.. Yt now that be
the two faced the arcbh op, there ga
was a most amazing hitch t~ the cere- hi
monies. Fi
The bride refused to make ter. re- cc
sponses! The bridegroom (fenry, ci
king of the subsidiary province of til
Navarre) answered "I do" to the ar ~f- a
bishop's query as to whether he wo d b;
take Princess Marguerite de Valois s ill
his wife. But when the same questi hn
was put to Marguerite she refused it
reply. The spectators whispered e - p
citedly. There was an awkward paus s5
Then a pale, wild-eyed man, gaudi p
dressed, stepped forward, caught Ma n
guerite's head roughly between hi
hands and bent it forward by fore c
into a nod of assent. The man wh I
thus overcame the bride's obstinac ~
was her brother, the half-crazy Charle I
.IX., king of France. (
The foregoing scene is scarcely a
promising opening for a "love" story
and needs some explanation. France
for' years had been rent by quarrels I
between two great factions, the Hugue
nots (Protestants)
A 'Strange and Catholics. The
Wedding. dispute' was pol
litical, rather than religious, and led
to a long series of wars. Catherine de
Medici,. mother of Charles IX. and
Marguerite de Valois, hated the Hu
guenots and made the following plan
for their destruction: She arranged
a marriage -between Henry, king of
Navarre (leader of the Huguenots)
and her daughter Marguerite. All the
IHuguenot leaders were invited to
Paris for the ceremony. While thdy
were there a wholsesale massacre
was to take :place on St. Bartholo
mew's day, and no Huguenot to be left
alive. :
Marguerite was as clever as she
was. beautiful. She did not, relish the
idea of being wade- a pawn in this
.game of murder., Hence her refusal
to0make the marriage responses. Yet,
Swhen the weddsng was actually over,
r she `did all in her power to save her'
i young husband froim thl'fate decreed
,.for ~t::- So successful was she that
1in spitoe f thberine''pitots' Henryf
was: not killed :in the ensuing -"Massa
cre of St. :Barthdlomewv." But thoi.:
=,sands of. his fellow Huguenots were
d slaughtered in cold' blood and his own
life hung by a thread. To Marguerite's
tact and the frequent warnings STe
gave him he owed his safety. That
the strangely mated couple grew O
care very much for each other, n
their own free-and-easy way, is cer
tain. Though it was not the sort ;of
love that endured, yet while it lasted
both Henry and Marguerite were the
gainers. By saving Henry from death
his wife changed the whole historyof
France. For he was destined to be
come that country's greatest king. 'In
cidentally, she won for herself the
title of "Queen of Navarre" and ried
a gay court of her own in her -
band's little kingdom. Henry wa
iled from Paris. MargueritegagaLU
her family's wish, insisted on fo low
ing him to Navarre. There the two
planned a series of diplomatic m ter
strokes that strengthened the H ne
not cause and made Henry's nam fa
mous throughout France. ,.
Years passed by and the royal Cou9u
ple continued to govern their. ttle;
Navarraise court and to scheme for
greater power. In course of me
Henry was enabled by these pla 'to
claim and win the throne of Fr `ce.
