Sam Houston's Widow.
"ro;u the I'hila>lcl|>bi:i Inquirer.
It is reported that the Indian widow of
Jen. Sam Houston of Texas is sti'l livng
at the {treat age of ll.">. but in extreme
loverty. The story may well be true,
ind, if so, adds only one other chapter
0 the picturesque history of one of the
no3t astonishing characters in our hisorv.
Sam Houston was endowed with
latural gifts beyond the ordinary man.
le was declar^l to be the handsomest
nan who ever sat in Congress, and nis
ratory was of a sort that was ompeilng.
even if not polished. As a cosnparaively
young man lie reached by native
nerit the governorship of Tennessee in
1 day when that commonwealth v as relitively
more Important than now. tie
narried a ytung woman, and then mi
lenlv. without the slightest explanation,
esiened his office end fled to the wild?-riess.
No satisfactory explanation has
ver been given of this act. but it is beieved
that he found the young wife loved
mother.
Houston next appeared as the hero of
Jan Jacinto and the founder of the now
om:?ionwealth of Texas. He represented
he state in Congress and was the only
outhern governor who in IRQ Mil remained
true to tiie L'nion. He was deposed
ind died soon afterward.
It was between his disappearance from
renncssee and his appearance in Texas
hat he formed the Ind an alliance re'erred
to. but whether or no any cerenony
amounting to a legal marriage took
ilace is not known. Certain it is that lie
vas the "ardent friend of the Chcrokees
ill his life, and at Washington, while
irorking in their behalf, knocked down a
nember of Congreuc, for which lie was
lenfenced, hut pardoned. l>,v his friend,
Vndrew Jackson, then President.
Houston was one of the great figures of
he west who might have achieved much
frea'.er things save for his sudden retirenent
from Tennessee. >'any think lie
sas then on the high road to the presliency.
Hut there was one defect In Ids
irmor. He never revealed the cause to
iny one and his secret died with him. He

Marvel of the New South.
from Leslie's.
The new south in the last thirty years
has made such marvelous progress in industrial
development and commercial importance
that statistics stagger the mind.
History gives no account of recovery
from the desolations of war comparable
with the south's record. Forty-odd yt^art
ago men and women in the south were
producing barely enough to live on. To
day. for every man, woman and child,
white and black, there Is a per capita
proeluction of over $"ju a year, and the
then bankrupt south has today over *1.uon.cfio.oem
deposited in bank, overN J".loo.?*jn,OC)o
Invested in manufactures ant]
a like amount in other property. The
combined value of the south'* productlor
last year in agriculture, manufactures
and mineral output amounted to more
than $?1.0ti<i,n00.esi0, or over twice as min t
as the total value of all the slaves in the
south when they were demonetized bj

; ROMAN FINGER STALLS
I Character of Glove Indicated Bank
or Degree of the
Wearer.
* From the London Lady
Ancient things often survive time, and
the finger-stalls used by the old Romans !
to gather olives are still employed in the j
south of France, though we no longer
hear of gluttons who. like Pitliyllus, glove I
the tip of their tongues.
The glove was much used in the middle i
ages, and entirely covered the wrist. The j
i citizen's were made of sheepsKin, deer- I
skin or fur; the bishop's crocheted in silk j
[ with golden threads; the priest's were
simply of hlaek leather The fur gloves
r which the French ladies wore on great
j occasions fall into insignificance compared
; with those of the beautiful Venetians
when the doge stepped on the Bucentaure
to espouse the sea. Those silken gloves
\ were marvelously embossed with gold
[ and pearls, or made of priceless lace.
Some were made of skin on which, as
on a fan. water colors represented country
scenes, sheepfolds, or exquisite minia- (
tures. The Spanish glove of the period
. was noted for its pungent scent, and *
.; ladies suffered strangely In wearing them.
i | Jeanne d'Albret, the mother of Henri IV,
i found her death through J pa'r of gloves
. prepared by a friend of the somber c
I Catherine.
C
j Falconers' Gloves.
; Hawking was then at its best. The
i buckskin and buffalo glove, made for e
. falconers, covered the right hand and f
went half way up the arm to protect it
| against the talons of the bird r.s it set- C
tied on the fist. An ancient legend
i speaks of a sparrow hawk only to be ,
caught with the magic glove which hung f
on a carefully guarded golden column, i
Only he who vanqu.shed in the lists the |
two most formidable champions of Christendom
was able to approach it. S
At the time of Queen Bess. Antonia ,
Perez wrote to Lady Rich, the sister of i
Lord Essex, who had asked him to send ! ?.
her some dogskin gloves: "Not having '
been able to procure them, I have been
i tempted to flay a little skin on the most
delicate part of my own body, accord'ng
; to my custom, which Is to flay my soul f
for those I love."
Toward the end of the seventeenth cen- 1
. tury Rome, Grenoble, Blois anu Paris
. became famous for their gloves. A ccle- t
. brated memoir writer relates how he
purchased gloves scented with frangt- '
panni from a woman manufacturer in r
> Paris "famous for her perfumes." The
glove of "cuir de poule" and "cane pin'" r
(outer lambskin) of the period were so
delicate that they could be inclosed in a C
i nutshell.
Up to this time men had used gloves 1more
than women, hut under George I
great ladies began to adopt long gloves
i and mittens to set off their hands. They were
very costly, but it was the fashion. ?
pcnvpln 11 v in Fmnrii In nffpr litdins after

choose from. 1
At Court of France.
In the gay French court of the eighteenth
century great display was made in L
the wearing of gloves. They were made .
of kid, thread or silk, and were generally
white, but so wretchedly sewn that T
the ladies of the court spoiled many ^
pairs every time they dressed. Enough
money was wasted ot feed whole famiies.
The cut of these flimsy toilet articles
was extremely graceful, the cull s
interlaced with narrow ribbon and fine
rosettes of carnations failing from the
wrist on the hand. The1 English way of
sewing gloves wns already highly apprc- g
ciated. For a glove to be good "Spain
had to prepare the skin and render it ?
supple, France cut and Knglanad sew it.''
Caraecioll, Italian ambassador to London.
who writes so interestingly on the
m'ddlc of the eighteenth century, wrote
when visiting Paris: "A woman of fashion
changes her gloves four or five times
a day. In winter they are made of fur
for trave ing; in summer she wears silk
mittens. Etiquette prescribes that when
the ladies of the court hand any articles
to a princess they must remove their
gloves."
A most elaborate pair of gloves dates
from the simple and stem days of the
French revolution, and belongtd to a
; man of the Terror. They were sent to I
. him amid scenes of blood and carnage. '

I'nder Beau Drummel's sway the "gant

(dandy ) The dlscip'es of the
!?uder of fashion founded the club of
"The Fringe*} Glove," the numbers of ;

Diverting the Bhine.
i Kran the Qmlnd l'lalu Dealer, J j
I Whimsical nature has changed tlic
, course of the tower Rhine so frequently. 1
I has divided and subdivided it with such
complexity, that it is today one of the ;
world's geographical wonders. The Oude j
Rijn, or the "Old Rhine." passes through
Utrecht and Woerden and Deyden, and
Is the first recorded main channel of the j
great stream. At present it is navigable :
liy canal boats between Leyden and :
Woerden. but for part of its distance It ;
is hut a tiny rivulet, in which small flat- :
bottomed dories, punted by patient Dutch- ;
men. have barely room to i>ass. Today _
the Rhine finds its way to the North sea ~
through a series of great estuaries, that; f
"! are scarcely distinguishable from th se of ! c
the Neuse and the Scheldt, and form the t
many large islands and peninsula of Zee- i i
land and South Holland. On the bread- i >
est of these e tuaries Is situated the
Dutcli metropolis of Ro te dam. that owes : I
t its wealth and importance a.most as; 1
much to the Rhine trade as to Its large ' '
foreign commerce.
From first to last nature has made r
many alterations in the Rhine, some of #
s them of immense importance. But now I
i man proposes the greatest change of all. ?
s The German government is discussing the t
- de irability of digging a ship canal from
, some point on the Rhine below Cologne to a
i connect the great river with the Ems, c
> and make the Rhine practically an all- i
German river. The Rhine commerce, be- i
ing almost exclusively German, would, of <
I course, follow this canal, and a large 1
part of the current of the river could also 1
1 be diverted. The undertaking would, it 1
) is believed, result in making tlic insig- '
: tilth-ant German port of Emden greater
i than Rotterdam is at present,
s Germany would not contemplate so
r great a work without some very definite
motive. The motive is founded in the dif- I
