The hall was festooned with dark.\u25a0hands of lobage and mussed with reed-grasses, with here and there a w;reath ofdelicate chicory plant..-The warmth and sedate hues here maden mist effective antithesis io the scene in.the parlors. Mis s Hates had lavished hertaste in producing the wintry eifect there.Frosted boughs glittering icicles and•feathery enowflakes combined to form a•wtmderful little bay-window bower, in thecenter cf which depended with strikingeffect? a peifect wreath of la France roses,the fresh piuk petals thrown into vividre-lief by their snowy eutourace.

The friends of the family, including manyfrom Sacramento ar.d Marysyiile, assembledin the rear parlor, which was prettilytrimmed iv yellow, the llowers being chieflychrysanthemums. About 9 o'clock tlte or-chestra played a wedding mater, and thehaypy-lpair.< advanced to the i.-icle bower,r.receded by two pretty little cousins of thebride— Miss Helen and Master JusticeGreeley. The bride's robe was poul deseine, trimmed w.th rare point d'Alencon;her ornaments were diamonds. The briefceremony was performed by 1.-v. Dr.James oftha City College, on Haight street,a very old friend of the family. - \u25a0

LITERATURE.The Cnfttnrr Diction'ai.y— By the

Century Company. (New York: Toe Cen-tury Publishing Company. Sixth volume,

104_ pp., £10.) The sixth and last volume ofthat great work "The Century Dictionary"has just been issued. Itcommences withtiie word "Strub" and continues to theclose, and completes one of the moststupendous literary productions ever pro-duced within a limited time. The prefaceIssued with the lust part is dated May 1,1889, the supplementary note to the pre laceissued .with the la.i pert; October l,189LBetween Ibo**dates bus been published, intwenty-four parts which have followed oneanother with almost unchanical regularity,a dictionary of70b. large quarto pages, con-taining, from the printers point of view,two-third:, as much matter as tho Encyclo-paedia Uritanniea, and including about1500.000 definitions of over 215.000 words,50,-00 defined phrases, 300,060 illustrativequotation.) and 8000 cuts. The labor involvedin this achievement is enormous. To havopublished any serious work of such size inthat time would have been a remarkableexploit; the fact that the work is a dic-tionary, wliich was planned on an ideal be-fore regarded as unattainable, and whichhas practically attained this ideal, makesthe result little less than extraordinary. Toform a faint idea of what the making ofthis hook meant, one has but to considerthe difficultyof collecting such disconnectedmatter (for tiie entirely "new" words, defi-nitions and quotations in the "Century" al-most outnumber all that the dictionarieswhich preceded it contain), the care in-volved in the statement and verification ofmillions of more or less Isolated facts, andthe labor of producing, with such varietyof material, a typographically faultlesspage, lt is hardly necessary to say thatthis wonderful rapidity of publication waspossible only by reason of the long, elab-orate and thorough preparatory work doneon the whole book before a page of it wassent to the press. Bo careful was this prep-aration, so methodical and well ordered theexecution of tin* plan, thai punctuality andrapidity were never allowed to degenerateInto haste, lt should also be added that thedictionary could have been produced onlyby a force exceptionally well qualifiedfor the task; under a division ofthe labor by which each received the partfor li.eh he was best fitted; with an intel-ligent discrimin#tion between work whichcould be done rapidly and that which couldnot, and with untiring energy on the pert ofthose responsible for its progress.

The creators of the dictionary have beenguided throughout by a clear and sympa-thetic appreciation of the demand of con-temporary science and practical life, andhave striven to make it, in its way, an em-bodiment of the knowledge and of the high-est thought and aspirations of the nineteenthcentury.

The sixth volume contains its full shareof important and interesting articles. Thedefinitions of sun and sun-spot— byProfessor C. A. Young— their engrav-ings illustrate well its encyclopedic rich-ness, as do also such articles as those undertransit, temple, swallow, sub-, substance,trot (withits reproduction of instantaneousphotographs by Muybridge), trust, etc Thevolume also exhibits the usual large Dum-ber of admirable cuts, such as those undertabard, testudo, tiger, toboggan, tomb, tube(pneumatic), tunnel, typesetting- machine,Venus, victory, Videstrelda, Vidua, Vidu-iua_.

Itcloses with a list of over 3000 authorsand authorities cited in the course of thework, and with what is, perhaps, the mostinteresting single thing it contains— a re-print if the list of amended spellings rec-

mended by the English Philological So-ciety and the American Philological Asso-eialion, headed by an introduction wliichleaves no doubt where the edit of thedictionary stand as regards spelling-reform.While this list, which has as yet almost noactual usage to support it. and was indeedintended only as a step toward somethingmore complete, could uot properly be in-corporated in the body of the dictionary,Professor Whitney believes that no lexicog-rapher should ignore it.

No one who desires to keep abreast of thetimes can do so without having In his li-brary this mostexceilent book, which bringsdown to date everything that one may wishto know about the English language.Offered by the Dewing Company.

"The Duchess of Powsyland

"Is the first

number in Cue new year that is added tothe Boston series, known as "The TuckerLibrary." is-ued by Benjamin lh Tucker ofthat •v. This novel is by Grant Allen,who was awarded a prize of £5000 for bispowerful work of fiction, "What'- Bred intiie Bone." It. is \u25a0 captivating story of thecareer of an American girl who married atitle, having become united by matrimonywith the first rank of the British peerage,Itis well written, entertaining and sensa-tional, It involves a charge of murderbrought against the Duchess, who is ac-cused of the murder, by poison, of her hus-band. Upon the trial It was made to ap-pear that the accusation was groundless,and that the Duke bad died by his ownhand.

"A Southern Heritage" is a title of anew novel written by William HoraceBrown, and added to the "Vanity FairSeries

"by Edward Brandns it Co. of New

York, the publishers. In this book Mr.Brrwn, who has already made a go* d namefor himself in the "Staves ofFolly," gives avery charming and highly entertaining storyof Southern life during tho war times andimmediately thereafter. The charm of thenovel, aside from its literary merit, is thatthe htorv is told in a most pleasing manner,and holds tbe attention of the reader fromfirst to last.

"Mademoiselle Ixe," that bright littlestory published by Charles 11. Sergei A Co.of Chicago, is to be translated into Frenchto appear as a feuilleton in the Debats ofPans. Arrangements are also in progresslor a dramatic version of it,both for En-gland and America.

Magazines and Oilier -Voles.With the January number "TheMagazine

of American History" opens the twenty-seventh volume of a periodical

'that is so

well known that it needs no booming.. Thecharacter of the articles that have beenpresented in the past are a guarantee forwhat will be offered in the future. Allitsarticles have been remarkable for literarymerit, Interest and accuracy, the great pointin the presentation of historical matter.This issue is notably good, and among themany articles that are given are: Theleading paper by Hon. Arthur Harvey, iheeminent President of the Canadian In-stitute, which is the first part of "ACritical and Common-sense View of theEnterprise of Christopher Columbus,"uniquely illustrated. "The Secret Societiesof Princeton University," by ThomasHotel) Us Jr., illustrating the old and newWhig Halls at Princeton. "A Short-livedAmerican State," an admirable contribu-tion from the Louisiana historian, HenryE. Chambers, and the question, "WasAmerica Discovered by the Chinese?" isably discussed by Rev. Dr. Glover.

In the January "Arena" Hamlin Gar-latin's miich-talked-of novel of the modernWest opens brilliantly. The publishers of"The Arena" claim that this will be "theUreal American novel," and certainly itbids fair to be by far the strongest workthat has yet come from the pen of the brill-iant "novelist of the West," though this issaying much, as those who have read"Main-Travelled Bonds" and "Jason Ed-wards" will admit. This* issue also con-tains strong papers by Alfred Basse! Wal-lace on "Himan Progress: Past andFuture"; Professor A. N. Jannari-, Ph. D.,of the University of Gieece, Athens, on"Mohammedan Marriage and Life"; HenryWood on "The Universality of Law"; ex-Governor Lionel A. Sheldon, on "Louisianaand the Levees"; D. G. Watts, on "WaltWhitman"; Charles Schroder, on "What IsBuddhism?" and several other able papers."The Arena" fully maintains its brilliantreputation. .

One of the most important and absorbingpolitical problems of the hour, "the pardon-ing power," is discussed with profound In-terest by David B. Hill, Governor of NewYork, in the "North American Review" forJanuary. Itshould be exercised, he thinks,with the sob* aim to the reformation of theoffender. The writer suggests that a signifi-cant in titer, thus far overlooked,' is an effortto encourage the convict's reform after liehas.served his term. The prison bird now

finds the world turned against him, andevery inclination to reform is frozen by hiscold reception. He can get no work; hemust starve or steal, and again the prisondoor }awns before him. "Who willstartthis good work?" he asks.

The January number of "Lippineolt'sMagazine" is marked by several new fea-tures. The complete novel is by YoungE.Allison, formerly of the "Louisville Courier-Journal," an experienced journalist. It isentitled "The Passing of Major Kilgore,"and from the sure, easy and practical wavin which he writes' it might he bis tenthrather than his first effort in the line of fic-tion. This novel contains a graphic pictureof the humors and woes of a newspaperoffice. The story is interesting throughout,and not lacking in elements of excitement,pathos ami unexpectedness; the character-drawing is fullof shrewd insight and kindlyhumor, while the style is natural delight-mi. . nyp.

The Forum Publishing Company hasprobably never issued a number so con-spicuous for interest, brilliancy and abilityas the January number. It fairly teemsfrom cover to cover with able discussions oflive national questions, and is a mine ofrich Information. A powerful Indictmentof the Louisiana lottery, by Judge FrenchMcGlain, 1. ads the list. Dr. F. 11. Geffckendiscusses "The Pope and the Future ofPapacy," and tho Rev. Or. C. A. Briggshas given an able paper on "TheologicalEducation and Its Needs." "The SecretBallot" is a valuable paper by JosephBishop, and Mrs. Van Rensselaer gives anexcellent article on "American Homes."

The January number of"Harper's

Monthly Magazine" marks an era In itspublication, forit is the fivehundredth num-ber that has been issued. There is no peri-odical that has been published for so long atime as this one has that haa maintained itsinterest as has "Harper's Magazine." The

issue of this month is an excellent one, bothas to text and illustrations. Among themany very interesting tides offered maybe mentioned "Canada's El Dorado," byJulian Ralph; "Our Exposition at Chicago"and "Charles- the Second" by Walter Bes-ant.

Those Yvho are interested in the science ofantiquities will find a treat in the latest Is-sue of the "American Antiquarian," pub-lished by S. D. Feet at Avon, 111. Itisfilled with matter of great interest on sub-jects of the long ago, ami it is instructivenot only to archaeologists, but to the generalreader. The leading article i- one by thepublisher on the religion of the mound-builders, and this is followed by a very in-teresting article on "Y_ma, or the VotivePictures inJapan," by W. E. DeForest.

Ho Had Killed His ltiv.iland .Viet With aHorrible Death.

A searching party that had ben two dayslooking for Louis Vilmas, a rich old miser,who had been last seen in New Albany,Ind.. on Christmas evening, found him onSaturday night dead in a small creek in thewoods near his house, which was on a billnear Mooresville. Connected withhis deathis a strange story. Vilmas had come toNew Albany, as was his annual custom, topurchase presents, as lie said, for the chil-dren of his aged sister, residing somewherein the State a* Maine. He was seen tohave a large wad of bank-notes, which hedisplayed in the bar-roun of tbe hotel, andstartled all who knew him by offering totreat the whole bouse. He drank severalegg-nogs, and became as merry as a youngman. Ilia conduct was so unlike hit for-mer self that hi was asked what had comeover him. To this he replied: "Tins Ismy birthday. Ihave now lived threescoreand ten years, which 1swore Iwould do onthe dayIwas 50. I*llcelebrate ItifItkillsme."

For an hour the old man unbosom, d him-self to the landlord, and told the story of hislife, Be then confessed that the woman toWin he annually sent presents was an oldsweetheart who had jilted him in hisyounger days. Vilmas said be had killedhis old rival one cold winter night illMaine,alter the two bad been DO a spree together.They quarreled on a bridge over a creek,near the home of the girl with whom bothwere in love, and he, being the stronger,threw his companion over the parapet. Thenext morning his rival's body was foundfrozen In the ice. Miser Vilmas' hearerswere inclined to doubt his story, and jokedloin about it.savins that he had drunk toomany egg-nogs. On this he straightenedhimself up and replied that maybe he had,and then buttoned his overcoat across hischest aud started home on horseback.

On Christmas it was reported that Vilmas'horse bad returned homo without Its rider,and people at once jumped to the con-clusion that he had been murdered. Satur-day night he was found as described in thesmall creek. The body was frozen in theice so firmly that ithad to be chopped out.Those who'had heard the miser's Christmasevening story wire stricken withgreat won-der at the apparent sign of the hand of fateIn bringing about bis death.— St. LouisGlobe-Democrat.

A MOMENT OF PERIL.

The Mad Dash of Four GreatEngines' and a Snow-Plow.

ItWat a Case of Life or Death, But theSlender Bridge Over Tougliannock

Gorge Stood Firm.

"Have Iever been frightened on ray en-

Clue ? Well. Ishould say 1liavo been—much that 1 have felt my cap rise off myhead as my hair stood 011 end. Get up inthe cab here and I'lltell you about the oulytime 1ever said a prayer in my life."Iwas running on the old G. I. and A.

Railroad, before it was consolidated withthe Lehigh V(.lley. The road in those dayswas not so prosperous as it is now, and wedid not have all the material that we shouldhave had to work with. Au engine wasoften kept running until she actually brokedown oa the road before she could be takento the shop for repairs. But that is notwhat Iwas goiug to tell yon about. Theywere good old days, and we bad lots of funmingled with,the hardost kind of work. Isuppose that "makes it all even. We hadone terrible enemy in the winter. That wasthe snow. Along the lakes are longstretches of level country, over which thewind blows the snow in tho liveliest possi-ble manner. Itwould fillup the cuts andmake huge drifts on the track, co.iioellingthe road to suspend business, sometimesfor three or four days, until the track couldbe cleared.

"One night there came a tremendous fallof snow. Trains were stalled all along thelino, and a passenger train was caughtsomewhere near Coverts. Early In themorning all the available engines were or-dered out with snow-plows and gangs ofmen to clear away the snow. Ihud a bigsix-wheel 'mogul,' one of the heaviest en-gines on the road, and of course we wereexpected to do some effective work. We puta big supply of coal iitin* tender and startedout to clear the track. The snow-plow wasbuilt up. about ten feet high, and was madeof boiler-iron fastened on strong timbers. Itwas bolted to the front end of a flat-car, andtons of old scrap-iron wen- piled on the carto make itheavy, so it would not rise fromlire rails when we struck a bigbank. Well,we got out of Ithaca all right. The old'mogul' went along plowing through thesnow, pushing it aside and throwing itaround ns iiit were only fun for her.

"WE GOT ovi.i:THE mi.1.Without any serious delay, but there was acut just the oilier side of the summit thatwas completely filled with snow. Isaw itand pulling the old 'niouglV throttle wideopen, iiiiide a running jump for it. Thesnow-plow was driven about half-waythrough the cut, and then we got stuck.We backed up and tried again, but it war.no use; we couldn't get through. Wordwas telegraphed back, and in an hour or sothree locomotives were sent to our assist-ance. We c.'iipled together when theyarrived and made another effort. Willi theincreased power wepushed our way throughas clean as a 1in.

"There is another cut just west of Tough-annock, similar [to tie one we .had justcleared, only it is a little deeper, if any-thing. The boys had a consultation anddecided to go ahead and rani our waythrough this cut, if we coulu. Ipulledthe whistle, signaling to the other en-gineers to come on, and in a momentthe four Uk 'moguls,' with the snow- plowahead, aereSgoing like a streak for thesnow cut a couple of miles away. Do theother side of Toughainio. X Station isTough-annock Gorge, over which was an ironbridge. The gorge is not wide at that point,but very deep, with a little stream . l" watersparkling and glimmering in the bottom likea tiny lino of glittering silver. You see, thegorge was between the engines and the cut,and no one had thought ot tha bridge whenwedecided to charge on the cut. it is adangerous thing, as a rule, to run two en-gines couiled together on a bridge, let alonefour, and a great snow-plow with all theweight that could be piled on it. We werewithin a hundred yards of the bridge be-fore 1 thought of it, but when 1 did mvheart went down inmy boots. There wasnouse trying to .-lop. That was simply im-possible. I felt sure that my time hadcome. Isat down on my box and

HIM. ON TO THE REVERSE LEVERWith both bauds, i could hear the enginesbehind puffing ami snorting, their littledriving-wheel, going around so fast thatyou could scarcely sea them. Above allIcould hear the big No. 10, the last engine onthe stxinc, working withthe fury of a devil,doing her best to push Ihe rest of us alonga little faster. What IBuffered in thosefew seconds 1cannot describe. These grayhairs, 1 think, was cau.ed by that terriplostrain. We drew nearer and nearer' thespan. 1 looked across the boiler at my fire-man, thinking it would be the last time Ishould see him onearth. There he stoodgrinning like a jack-lantern, hi., white teeth.shilling beneath the black soot on his dirtyface, wipinghis oily hands with a piece otwaste, utterly unconscious of the awfuldeath that awaited him.

"I_K>r fool," 1 thought, "you had betterdie in peace." 1could not warn lii.n of thedanger ifIwould. We were now very nearthe bridge. Ia an instant more wo shouldallbe dead. 1closed my eyes and began topray. The snow-plow struck th** -.pan. andafter it we came. 1felt it tremble as thetrucks of my engine .truck it. There was aroar from the gorge, as it echoed backthe noise made by the train. All the en-gines seemed to leap through the air as 'heyran on the bridge, and belore 1 had time torealize what bad happened we were on theother side, .fearing on toward the object ofour attack, like so many agents fr m theinfernal regions.

"We had a fearful time clearing out thatcut We cot stuck a il'a ".<. times and couldnot gel either way. but when the enginemen got together and 1 told them of our es-cape tliere was more thee one pah- face intin' group. Vim asked me if Ihg |everbeen frightened. Well, this is the time, andinever want (die minute of sued agony as Isuffered that day again— not for the world."—N. Y. Tribune.

Moss Singular C___aM«f Dentil on Record.Of misers who rolled in their gold Ihave

often heard, but it is surely a new experi-ence for one to rite from the pressure of hisaccumulated specie. A poor-looking third-class passenger m the train from Paris toTelia was taken seriously ill as the latterplace was neared. He was still alive whenTurin Station was reached, and was carriedoff tit once to a sofa in the waitiiig-rooin,where he soon died.

"iifxiiniinntion it was found he was wear-ing 11 belt containing no less then 30,000Irancs in gold, and death had evidently beencaused by tip* pri'ssiim of this belt with itsprecious contents. The dead man had alsorouleaux of gold under his arm-pits, thoughhe was dressed in la^, and so far no clewto ids identity has been discovered.—New-ark Journal.

Cakes Without Eggs.

Observing housekeepers quickly learn that Dr. Price..

Cream Baking Powder is far superior to other brands in

the fact that they never fail to make the finest pastry^ and

if they wish tobe economical they can dispense entirely with

eggs and can use a less quantity of butter for shortening

purposes. The advantage is not alone in the saving effected

but in avoiding the trouble and frequently the great difficulty

of securing eggs that are fresh. This is often a serious

trouble.

Cakes of various kinds from the informal Griddle

Cakes to the stately Bride Cake can be made with Price's

Cream Baking Powder, which insures light, sweet and hand-

some cakes; or when used for Griddle Cakes to be eaten hot

enables their production in the shortest space of time, always:"\u25a0\u25a0' *'Ai

tender and delicious.Dr. Price's is the only Baking Powder that contains the

white of eggs. None so pure ! None so wholesome !

Dr. Price's Cream Baking Powder is re-,ported by all authorities as free from Ammonia,Alum, or any other adulterant. In fact, thepurity of this ideal powder has never, been ques-tioned.
