Hpiivorg. Ifie American Institutlonsare not
hampered, as in the case pf many European
schools, bv dependence .upon private chari
ty. And'yet the general public falls into
the error o"f clossstving the schools for the
deaf with charitable and reformatory iusti
. tntions and asylums for the insane.
NOT A CHABirgf
The education of the deaf at the public ex
pense is no more a charity than the oppor
, tunitles afforded the hiring child under our
" puhlic school system. The injury 'wrought
upon the deaf by applying the term asylum
to their schools is considerable. Not in
frequently people look upon the institutions
at places where the deaf ere kept somewhat
after the manner of keeping the insane or.
idiotic, or if schools at all, yet tho whose
dispensations are charitable. It can readily
be seen how rcpulsiTe such places must be
to a person of refined, delicate sensibilities,
and douKtless there are many deaf children
who are deprived by these unjust notions of
. the benefits such schools offer them. Insti
tutions for the deaf are schools and schools
only, and virtually a part of the publio
school system. Deaf children come to them
because special methods must be pursued in
their instruction. They cannot be taught
by the ordinary methods of the public
schools, and to establish & school for them
in every district would be obviously im
practicable and expensive. It being due
the children of deaf parents, who pay taxes
for the maintenance of public schools fof
bearing children, that the State provide ad
equate means for the education of their deaf
children, sacn cnuaren arc orougnt to
gether, boarded and educated because it is
cheaper and more practicable in every way
to do this.
The false views of the public on this sub-
iect operates very strongly against the deaf,
la the eyes of many people a stigma rests
on the deaf child as soon as he enters the
school. He is often regarded and spoken of
in the same category as the wards of charity.
This is a most unjust sentiment, in addition
to their physicnl misfortune, which gradu
ates of our schools hare to contend against
Aside from a slight defect in language some
times noticeable, and which is also common
to foreigners who have acquired the Inn
gnagc, there is not a whit of difference be
tween the deaf and the hearing, with the ex
ception that being deaf they seem rather
quiet in public. They have the same natures
and feelings. They are men and women deaf
either from birth or through some illness,
and yet in a majority of cases are able to
speak intelligibly and to readily read from
the lips what is said to them. In many in
stances they are educated to a very high de
Sree, and become useful members of society,
onest, peaceful and law abiding.
NOT PEOPEELT ESTIMATED.
According to their education and capabil
ities we find them successfully pursuing the
same occupations followed by the hearing,
the more highly educated among them
adorning many of the learned professions,
in which they have earned reputations as
teachers, clergvnien, essayists, chemists,
lawyers, editors and artists, as well as in the
marts of trade. In every trade "or profession
they engage, with one very notable excep
tion, they command remuneration according
to their merits and abilities. The excep
tion, and a very anomalous one at that,
exists in schools for the deaf, where the most
experienced deaf teachers, in many instances
college graduates and distinguished scholars,
are ranked in compensation below the most
mediocre hearing instructor.
The mode of life of the deaf is very much
like that of those who hear. They have
their societies and social clubs, their balls,
parties and picnics for the deaf can dance,
and well, too their conventions, lectures
and debates, in which the "beautiful lan
guage of signs has full sway. They have
the same interest in politics as other people,
and are Democrats, .Republicans and Pro
hibitionists, as the case may be. ,
Thus they live, and were the general pub
lic to overcome the absurd notions they en
tertain respecting them, the deaf would rise
to a high plane in the publio estimation;
wonld be justly credited with overcoming
. almort insurmountable obstacles in obtain-,-ing.a'knowledge
of the mother language, in
- comprehending the idea of God and their
duty to their fellow men. It is the hope of
educating the public to a sense of what they
are that the future holds out to them a goal
they are striving for, and which onlv the
indifference or prejudice of the public at
.large can keep them from obtaining.

HOT-HEADED PEOPLE.
Dear Slates Terr Quick Tempered but Alio
Extremely Affectionate.
It is a very difficult matter to reply to the
queries propounded in regard to the deaf
mute as an individual or to deaf mutes as a
class, as their habits and mode of living ate
identical with hearing and speaking people.
Deaf mutes are found in every walk of life,
and in what ever station they find them
selves, they very quickly adapt themselves
to. In the cities you find them adopting the
'same fashions in dress, attending the same
places of amusement, forming the same kind
of associations as the hearing people do.
How, then, shall we classify -them? Not by
their habits, not" by their mode of living.
"Well, then, what? By their peculiarities
and by their idiosyncrasies. Notwithstand
ing that the average mute will deny it, I in
sist on one thine that is true of them, and
that is their almost universal hot-headed-nets.
At the ace of 17. when I found mvself
bereft of my hearing and a student in an
institution for the deaf and dumb, I was
surprised to find to what an extent this
peculiar habit prevailed. My first few days
tas a student were a ays of wonder to me, and
I confess of terror, fearing that these mo
mentary outbreaks would develop into a
riot I remember some or the younger hoys
were discussing the merits (?) of two con
testants in a prize fight, and nearly all the
younger pupils fought this battle over a
doien times. Politics, baseball, etc, afford
a vast field for these wordy wars. I say
"wordy" wars, but they frequently "end in
something more. I navo seen the same
tendency in clubs, societies, etc., among the
deaf, and from the fact that the practice is
so general, I conclude that the lack of vocal
speech .accounts for it in a great measure,
livery gradation of speech can be expressed
in signs. One can speak the various tones
with the alphabet of the deaf, if he has had
any previous knowledge of spoken lan
guage, the same as in oral speech, bnt the
congenitally deaf mute does not recognize
"but two extremes, his ordinary method of
expressing himself and the vigorous fight
ing attitude he assumes when he wishes to
emphasize his remarks. There is no golden
jnean. This is only one oi bis peculiarities.
AITECIIONATK PEOPLE.
But, in general, deaf mutes are not so
Tery different from other people, as I said
before. I have seen them in their home life,
.and their love of home is allied to that of
the bearing person. I do not know why it
is so, but the children of deaf mute couples
are nearly always bright and intelligent,
and, no matter nnder what circumstances
yott find them living, you will alwavs find
a bearing child of deal mute parents "has an
extraordinary amount of affection for his
parents. At an early age the child begins
to realize his mother s infirmity, and bv the
time he is 3 years old you find him talking
intelligently to his parents.
As the child grows up he learns more and
more of his parents' language, and some
times at the age of 6 you find him acting as
a sort of telephone between the outside
world and his home. He brings in all the
news of the neighborhood, acts as inter
preter for all callers, and soon begins to
realize that he has an important mission to
perform that of supplying hearing and
speech to his mother and father. The ties
ot filial affection are strengthened in this
way, and it is easy to understand why the
borne life of deaf mute couples is nsnally
such a model One.
AN AUSPICIOUS OUTLOOK.
As to the future of the deaf, the outlook
b indeed auspicious. A comparatively few
years ago he was generally found'employed
(If employed at all) In-some subordinate
, eapacity where the hours werelong. the task
"boovyjiP"! the rorapensation-'light. :W'ith J
SPV:
thejntrodu'ctipribf manual draining into the
schools for the d'eaJollShisTias beenchanged.
To-day we find vxi deaf mutes in every pro
fession, doing the same work' as -hearing
people." Some of them finally go in business
for themselves and generally with good suc
cess. In New York Oity are-'employe'd bun
dreds of deaf mutes in capacities that would
have seemed absurd 50 years ago. Deaf
mutes, artists, engravers, sculptors, editors,
designers, lithographers are making a mark
in the world and their work speaks foritself.
At one time it was the ambition of a good
many to get into the Federal offices, and
while the custom house, postoffices and other
Governmental departments have their quota
of deaf mutes, the civil service lajr prohibits
their employment Ferh&ps this is a good
thing in one respect, since it compels them
to seek other employment not so haiardous
as clerkships in the civil service.

FOUND IN ALL POSITIONS. ., .
Draf Slates Encased in AH the Professlohi
and Trades.
Deaf mutes fill various positions.. Some
are engaged in the professions, some" are'
journalists, artists, bookkeepers, engravers
and photographers. Some have governs
ment positions; a few are scientific men;
many find employment in the ordinary in
dustries, and not a few make' a success of
agriculture.
The peculiar balancing by which the loss
of one cense is compensated by increased
strength in the others, receives emphatic ex
emplification in the deaf mute. While, in
common with the rest of mankind, misfits
occur in vocations, and a good shoemaker is
occasionally spoiled to make a very poor
teacher, it is a fact .that wherever a deaf
mute works with hand or brain in a posi
tion proportionate to his ability, be is gen
erally found somewhere near the top. In
illustration of the facility to notice and
master what would ordinarily escape others,
a deaf mute, now a distinguished Pennsyl
vania divine, after completing a course in
an English university, was exanined at
Yale College lor a special degree. The ex
aminer noticed that in certain mathematical
work the Seaf mute was, especially quick,
and after the examination inquiries led to
the discovery that the deaf mute had been
using a valuable system be bad evolved
from his Cambridge tuition; and for an
hour or two professor and pupil changed
places to the everlasting profit of the
former.
MThc deaf mutes'of America very easily
lead those of the world in intelligence, man
liness and ability. They are living in a
present whose work renders the future se
cure. Their organizations are strong and
the work beneficially practical. The schools
take more and more the complexion given
them by the alumn. Educators of the deaf
find th'at the suggestion of the graduate,
based on his own experience, is worthy of a
place in the plan of gnidancefor futnre edu
cational work. While educated by special
processes deaf mutes cannot be classed as
defectives i. e., persons incapable of being
taught to cafe for themselves in the world,
as is true of the insane, idiotic and feeble
minded. Their schools an part of
the common school system of the
country, and are cheerfully sup
ported as such by the various Common
wealths, But as these are schools for the
bearing of a higher grade supported by pri
vate beneficence and endowment, so snould
there be facilities for special scholastic,
artistic and industrial education of thedeaf.
People should understand that schools for
the deaf are in no more sense charitable
institutions than is Cornell University, for
instance, and that donations and bequests
are as much proper and necessary for tho
one as for the other. To inculcate thisnrinci
pie, and by securing its observance to bring
'to the deaf mute student the, inestimable
boon of enlarged educational facilities, is
the present leading object of that admirable
organization, the "Empire State Associa
tion of Deaf Mutes." .

MAKE GOOD EMPLOYES..
They Have Few Bad Habits and are Tery
Ambitions.
A large majority of our class are possessed
of good habits and a few have bad habits in
different ways. This is because of their
lack of hearing. They are very attentive io
their duties, and as a class are very ambi
tious. Several mutes are now filling posi
tions as pastors, evangelists, editors, bank
clerks and cashiers, professors, teachers, etc.
They study just what persons blessed with
all their senses study, and they rank ac
cording to their abilities. They seem to
prefer to work as employes rather than as
employers.
They enjoy entertainments of all kinds.
They nave peculiarities for being keen by
observation, from appearances. They are
moderate in their food, dress and religion.
Their religion is variable. The average of
age is moderate. They don't commit any
crime as bad as those who can bear, and I
have only heard of one case of murder com
mitted by a deaf mute.

USES OP COTTONWOOD.
It Ii Crowding White Pine Ont of tho
Market for Some Uses.
Detroit News.
Sonthern cottonvrood is coming into wide
use for lumber, .although formerly consid
ered useless for that purpose. Cottonwood
is crowding white pine "out of the market
for certain purposes, and large fortunes ore
being made all along the Mississippi river
ont of this wood, which was once despised.
In New Orleans white pine is worthy $35
per IT, while yellow cottonwood brings
$65. For the ceiling of grain barges it is
invaluable, as grain cannot sweat in it
Every cracker box in use to-day is made
of cottonwood, and it cannot be excelled
for frnit barrels. Cottonwood will hold
nails, and can be used for building. It is
also capable' oi a fine polish after certain
treatment, and is much prized for interior
decorations. There are now men rich be
cause they own tracts covered with cotton
wood, who, five years ago, would have
traded an acre ot it for a yellow dog.
A QUEER OLD CKAFT.
A Strange Vessel Found Bailed In Sand and
Perfectly Preserved.
A discovery has been made on the Nantl
coke river nt a place called Ellis' Fishing
Grounds, about five miles below Seaford,
Del. A vessel was dug from under a
hill 15 feet deep. Mr. Ellis, owner
of the property, has been living there
for 43 years, and did not know that the
vessel was there until the recent winds
washed the sand from under the hill, when
a part of her was discovered. It was at first
thought to be a stump.
Upon further investigation, it was found
to be the forward part of a schooner. Her
bottom was hewed oat and caulked with
something like camel's hair. She is sheathed
on the inside, and also caulked with the
same kind of hair. She is put together
with pegs and without any sails.
The largest portion of her still re
mains in the bank. She is supposed to be
from 90 to 100 toss burden. The wood is as
solid as ever. There is no one around who
tnovrs anything about her.

vertisement A drugstore where agricul
tural implements were kept for sale might
be considered a novelty- in these days, but
not so then. The stores that sold medicines
sold also tinware,- hardware, drygoods,
molasses, rum, whisky, fish and flour. It
took a large population to support
a drugstore. Druggists were few, even in
cities, and in the country districts the busi
ness was almost wholly in the bands, of the
medical fraternity. The modern drugstore,
now found in every village and hamlet,
scarcely had an existence then. It is no
wonder that the proprietor of an apothecary
shop in the country added plows to bis
stock in trade. Most probably there was
more profit for him in plows than in medi
cines. ,
The growth ot the art of pharmacy haa
been slow because it was dependent on the
progress of the sister art of medicin e. Both
soienceshad a common origin in the philos
ophy of the savage, who recognized a soul
in every inanimate object Disease was the
soul of one object attacking another, and to
eject the evil influence diabolical nostrums,
horrible noises, and even strange contor
tions of the face and body were employed by
the "medicine men" of the day, a practice
which still prevails among some of the bar
barian races of the present time.
The Ue&iceval Pharmacist.
JHTSICIANS AMONG THE ANCIENTS.
The Egyptians first reached a compara
tively great knowledge of the art of healing.
A papvrus ot the reign of Sent (3300 B. C.)
gives directions for the preparation of pre
scriptfons which were to be given to the
patient, accompanied by incantations. The
Hebrews, from their close association with
the Egyptians imbibed a talent for phar
macy, and the "art or the apothecary" is
spoken of early in the Old Testament. The
Chinese were also early dabblers in drugs
and nostrums, but thepharmaceutical art in
China has remained almost stationary for
centuries.
The Greeks from an early period, like
most Aryan people, had a tinge of pharma
ceutical knowledge, An additional stimu
lus was given to tne science by the use of a
poison by the State for public executions,
and the increase of luxury and the necessity
the fair ones felt of adding to their attrac
tions. An early poem of Theocritus deals
chiefly with philters', then a profitable
branch of pharmacy, which even in the
present day survives in the "love powders"
.concocted by unscrupulous charlatans and
still in demand in certain deluded districts.
Ignoring the fabulous legends of demi
god iEsculapius and his wife, or daughter,
Hygeia, solid ground is reached in Greece
in'the fourth century B. O., when the great
Hippocrates first gathered up the most val
uable of the observations and experimental
data of his predecessors. For this task he
was eminently qualified, as he was the last
ofsevenofthesame name and family, and
the most illustrious of a long line of med
ical men. Pharmacy and medicine, which
had begun to diverge at this period, were
united by him. It is recorded of Hip
pocrates that on bis various jonrneys in
Greece be always carried bis drugs with
him.
THE EEVTVEB OF JIEDICINE.
Galen, who lived in the second century
of the Christian era, was one of the most
learned in the knowledge of drugs. He. was
the great reviver of medicine after a long
period of inanition, and maintained his su
premacy for nearly 1,400 years. He united
in his, works the various schools, though,
according to record, he was but the keeper
of a drugstore in Home. His theories as to
disease still prevail in a small degree in
modern pathology. He was the first to
secure the aroma of plants and flowers by
distillation.
A Drug Store of U0.
With the rise of the Saracens into intel
lectual prominence they took the lead in
medical and pharmaceutical science. The
practitioners of medicine were held in high
esteem by the Arabians. Mahomet bad a
predilection for the healing art, and there
,1s good reason for believing that numerous
medical works were preserved from the
destruction of the Alexandrian library by
the Arabian physicians. It is certain, that
the Arabs bad medical schools in Alexan
dria more than a century after the library
was destroyed. The practice of pharmacy
was greatly extended by the Arabians, and
among them the separation of medicine and
pharmacy was. advocated as early as the
eighth century and established by law in
the eleventh. As many of the drugs were
.imported from the East, dealers sprang up
who were distinguished from the regular
apothecaries.

The first drugstore inEurope existed at
Muenster, in Germany; in .1285 Others
soon sprang into being; The. first Tegular
npotbeonryshop in London was in-1835. Up
to-that period drugs were dispensed by gro
cers aud spicers exclusively, and these
tradesmen. did not entirely lbso their bold
on their side line for a considerable time. A
peculiar document dated 1345 is still in ex
istence. In it King Edward ILL of England
grants a pension of 6d a day to Coursus de
Gangland, an apothecary of London, for
taking care of and attending His Majesty
during his illness in Scotland,
In England in the sixteenth, century the
position of the pharmacist was a relatively
high one. The separation .of pharmaceutical
from medical practice was then. almost com
plete. Bulleyn (known as Queen Anne
Bulleyn's cousin), a, prominent apothecary,
laid down the following rules for cotempo
rary pharmacists:
BUI.ES TOB CONDUCTING BUSINESS.
"The apothecary must first serve God
foresee, the end, be cleanly and pity the
poor. :His garden must be on hand with
plenty of herbs, seeds and roots. He most
read and study. His placeof dwelling and
A London Apolhteary-11M.
shop must be cleanly, to please the senses
withal. He must have his mortars, stills,
pots, filters, glasses, boxes sweet and clean.
He must have two divisions in his shop, one
most clean for physio and the other base
place for cbirurgio stuff. He is neither to
increase nor diminish the physician's pre
scription. He is neither to buy nor sell
rotten drugs. He mustbe able, to open well
a vein for to help pleurisy. He is to meddle
only in his own vocation, and to remember
that bis office is only to be the physician's
cook."
Long after the division of the two
branches of medical practice the apothe
caries were restive at their subordination to
the medical practitioner, who in turn uses
all possible means to assert bis supremacy.
Jealousies arose between the two classes
which occasioned endless disputes. This
controversy is still existing in a modified
degree. In France these disputes assumed
a somewhat farcical phase. The physicians
enraged at advice "being given by apothe
caries determined to starve them ont, and by
persistently prescribing only simple reme
dies from herbalists they subdued the
rebels, who were reinstated after taking a
Pecksniffian and comprehensive oath. The
quarrel assumed just the opposite form in
Brutres, where, on complaint of the apothe
caries, medical practitioners were forbidden
to dispense drugs under heavy penalties.
FBAYKB BEFORE MIXEfG MEDICINES.
A peculiar phase of the, sixteenth, cen
tury pharmacy, especially in Germany; was
the instructions and ordinances oi the
various pharmaceutical associations and
guilds as to prayer. A compounder of pre
scriptions was directed to go ,down oh his
knees and supplicate before he commenced
his labors. It is not definitely stated
whether he was required to pray with each
prescription or wliether a' single prayer
would answer .for a batch. Most of the six
teenth century works on pharmaoy contain
cnrioui wood-cut illustrations of representa
tive pharmacists at their professional devo
tions. Cyrucus Schnaus, a Nuremberg
pharmacist, published a book 'in 1565,
wherein be in person is represented as
kneeling on a large mortar before a sacred
allegorical picture. It would be' rather
startling in these latter days to see the drug
clerk kneel in front of th'e soda fountain
and repeat worthy Father Schnaus"' prayer,
but it might be just as edifying to the
customers as caressing his pompadour or in
quiring "with or without.'
With the close of the sixteenth century
what may be termed the modern era of
pharmacy began. The introduction of new
drugs, the discovery ot the circulation of
the blood by Harvey, and other develop
ments soon revolutionized the older methods
and rapidly led to thehigh standard attained
by the pharmacist of 'to-day.

square, and a neat little opera mask, with a
lace fall over the lower face, would prove a
very coquettish and convenient addition to
the costume.
. All cats are gray in the dark, and all
women handsome in a mask, and when one
comes to think of the women who wonld be
irresistible if they only wore one, the last
hesitation vanishes. So many women would
find a mask becoming if they Only wore it
all the time. In sober earnest the mask has
so much in its favor that yon need not be
surprised to bear some fine day that the
belles have donned their ball masks to walk
up and down the avenue, and once worn
they never will be given up again. They
prevent - sunburn, freckles and neuralgia,
they filter tho dust from the breath as it
enters the month, and yet do not dim the
eyesight like n veil, for the mask leaves the
eyes clear. If women would have the good
sense to dress high in the neck, military
style, and wear a neat close mask, their com
plexion would be good till 60.
THE TEESIDENl'S 'WIFE.
Criticism is busy with Mrs. Harrison, not
for anything she has done or hasn't done,
has said or has not said, but because she ap
pears ambitious of filling no higher role
than that of Mrs. Ben Harrison, the Presi
dent's wife. As usual, even with citizens
who never expect to be President or marry
them, ill-natured comment is loudest and
gets in its sharp work before friends wake
up to say the right thing in the case. Mrs.
Harrison is not a nonenlty, as these forked
tongued gossips have it, nor is she a cold,
intriguing, obtuse woman, unequal to the
place she has to fill. The plain fact is that
sensible counsels prevail in higher
quarters, and it has been resolved
that feminine influence shall play the
part necessary in the White House family
and no other. As more than one old poli
tician bas expressedit, there has been
enough of women trying to run the Govern
ment underhand, and, Mr. Harrison has just
shutdownon.it. The snobbery, the toady
' ism, the inlrlguo and personality which bas
beset the Presidents' wives for 20 years is
met by quiet' but determined discourage
ment A gross misunderstanding on this'
point has been fostered by the snobbery of
feminine pens which delight to call the
mistress of the White House pro tern, the
"first lady in the land," and "the hsad of
the court circle at Washington," when she
is no more the first lady of the country than
her hnsband is'the first and only gentleman,
or that Washington is an imperial court.
The whole theory is
TJNBEPUBLICAN- AND ABSURD,
and bas bred more mischief than wonld
be believed. There is no first gentleman in
a republic. The President happens to bear
most responsibility in the government for a
time, after which "he will be relieved t by
other citizens just as able and good as him
self, chosen out of millions just as able and
well-intentioned as they are. He is file
leader, if you please, for the day, and his
wife is just as much to him, and no more to
the nationtthan any engine driver's wife on
the railway. President Harrison proposes
to honor his wife jnst as much in Washing
ton as at Indianapolis, as the mistress of bis
borne, his comlort and his pride, but he
proposes to relieve her of all government
responsibility and criticism. His hearty,
affectionate salute in the Centennial parade
did honor to her as his wife, and that quiet
littIewoman, sitting in the Pifth Avenue
balcony, absolutely unaware that tho
salute of the brilliant parade under the
window were meant for her,.held just the
part she intends to carry through the ad
ministration. All the same if one truth the
covert attack and criticism attempts, to hurt
this merry-hearted, housekeepy little
woman which has visited her predecessors,
there will be a resistance from some quiet
men In administration which will give
gossipmongers and toadies just the lesson
they need. Mr. Ben Harrison is a man of
good belongings and instincts, and hardly
the soldier of fortune that some of her
tenants of the White Honse have, and be
proposes to bave' his wife, and family as
much to himself as any other private citi
zen, and he doesn't seem exactly the sort of
a man. to meddle with,

The bazaars of Tunis are more intricate
than those oi all other North African towns.
Here was really the East There is an old
Spanish flavor, also, at Tunis, the bazaars
being bnilt round a mosque, once a church
of Charles V. The crooked streets are cov
ered with awnings Or archways, with funny
little shops like boxes, in which the pro
prietor -sits up on his counter cross
legged, surrounded by shelves, holding all
manner of gandouras, haiks and burnnos.
All Tunis swarms by, fine ladies deeply
veiled with broad scarfs like Mexican re
bozos which they hold before tbem by their
two extended arms. -Jewesses more bold, re
vealing half an eye from folds of white
falling from pointed caps, and tall brown
men in stately burnous of all possible deli
cate shades. The color at Tunis was won

lavender, vieuxrose, pafe amber. Snch are
the colors of soft stuff, that wrapped grave
and reverent signors pacing the streets in
turbans.
In Africa the railways are so new that
they are not in the guide books, and it is
impossible to procure time tables. All
through Algiers we were seeking.'a railway
guide, and were always told that the last
edition, being wrong, was destroyed, and
that the new one was not out yet. Finally,
the day we were leaving Tunis and Africa
for good, I saw in a book shop the announce

awaiting ns, and we were about to step into
a train which would take us to La Goleta.

I am snre-wer never called Ellen Terry
pretty in her youth, but when it was discov
ered that her jaw, was like the Burne-Jones
saints she seemed, -as it were, to grow up, to'
it and become what was expected of her. .
She was very young, poor thing, when
she married the great artist Watts; she bad
always been on the stage, and her bright,
joyous personality had even then begun to
attract attention. It was not a love match;
sLe was bnly 10 and he an old man who
would never have thought of marrying, it is
said, if It bad not been suggested to him by
a friend who lived next door, and who' the
gossips were beginning to talk about, saying'
that a certain splendid piece of tapestry,
which hung in the hall of the Watts house
next to ber's when lilted disclosed a sliding,
panel. So she thought it wonld be wise to
have him marry some raw-boned girl Ellen
Terry was selected as the victim, and the
grand lady danced at the wedding.
So you see her romance commenced very
early in life. -
CONTBASICTOBZ SI0E1E3.
Neither the old artist or the woman of the
world understood this strange girl. In fact,
neither thonght much about her. She-was
surrounded with art influences and left to'
grow by heitslt. They had made a mistake
in their selection and did not know it She
was of a strange, nervous, peculiarly pliable
nature, and to live in the midst of all these
strange splendors and strange people and
strange conversations, was a new life to her,
a new education, and she gradually grew
up to it, and, ere long, her nature began to
expand, to be satisfied with her position, to
say to itself, "I, too, am an artist."
There are many different versions of the
final break up. His friends say that a streak
of insanity ran through all her actions, that
she was so nervous, so eccentric and uncon
ventional, be was at last obliged to put an
end to all ner maa pranss; tnat on one oc
casion she actually horrified his guests by
coming down to dinner in tights.
Her friends tell that she bore everything
as long as she could, and was a martyr to
an old man's whims, till at last one day she
lifted" the tapestry in the hall, and disturbed
the serenity of the embroidered queens, and
pnlledhim out by the heels from under a
bed where he bad bidden when be beard her
coming.
Modern lifels fall of tragedy as well as
ancient life, although in less romantio
setting. When she left him she was still
voutfe and was becinninz to be called
beautiful. She was the sesthetio type of
beauty that people naa oeen educated up to
and prepared to like beforehand in
artirtio society she attracted much atten
.tion.. AN ESCAPADE.
There, was a friend of her family, a young
architect of great talent; one night be was
taken ill in an old hous.e alone, with no.one
near him, and he-tent word by a passing
boy for some of the family to come round to
see him. They were all occupied excepting
the young girl, who without thought, went
to tee him alone all the world knowi that
she did not return.
For many years they lived together in the
country, and were very happy in that com
plete oblivion of the world which only ar
tists can feel who are completely wrapped
np in their art and in themselves but he
was verv ambitious, be was netted and
praised by many noble ladies, his work led
him into many oi tne nnesi nouses oi xon
don as counselor and friend, be had walked
through crowded "ballrooms with corqneted
duchesses on his arm, and his soul began to
yearn for the fleshpots of Egypt, to feel that
he was not appreciated, that his life was too
narrow tor him.
She watched it grow day by day jhe did
everything she could to make him happy,
and when she saw the end had come said
nobly, without quarrel or reproach: "I
know you want to marry a rich wife well,
do not let me stand in your way." He pro
tested, but the time was not long before the
society papers bad to chronicle his marriage
with a rich widow.
, A CLEVEB BEFLT.
Some weeks after the wedding he met her
in the street, and in talking with her said:
"You know I always feel most kindly toward
yon," he weakly apologized for circum
stances and said, "I want so much to see the
dear children, will yott not manage it some
war so that I may meet them occasionally?"
She replied, "Why, I really don't know
bow it could be managed. Yon see I had to
account to them in some way foryour going
away. So I told them that you were dead.
There is a grave in Kensington churchyard
without any name on it, and we all go there
every Saturday and put flowers on it, and
cryover it and have such a nice time."
The reap actress showed itself there. X
often picture them weeping over the name
less grave and eating their, luncheons
around it.
All this time she was steadily rising in her
career, although no one realized that she
would take her place nmoue the first
actresses of the world. With all her flighti
ness, she was very ambitious and worked
very hard at her. art. She bad found a pro
tector, a young man named Kelley, who
married her and. became a father to her
children he died a few years ago, and they
were not very happy during the latter years

architect, has recently married Mr. Whistler

artlstio relationship:

Mrs. G.-Whlstler.
She is a too nervous,changeable,hyster!cal
nature to be really happy with anyone. She

A Man Who Conld Beat the Condactor Soyr

Six or eight of us wve sitting around tha
stove in the old Mansion Honse. in Buffalo
one night a decade of years ago, and tha
talk finally turned upon-railroads and bow
conductors had been beaten by deadheads.
One man told a story, to be followed by
another, and a New Yorker finally ob
served: "Yes, but this was in the past, before
there was any real system or much sharp
ness. No one can beat a conductor in these
days."
"That's very true." added a second. "Yoa
have got to either come down or get off."
There was a quarter of an hour of such
talk, and. then a man who had movzd into
the circle and remained silent, finally said:
"Well, I dunno. I am sharp enough to
ride from here to Batavia without paying
fare."
. "Got a pass, maybe?"
1 "No. I haven't."
"Do yon mean to say that yoa can rids
without ticket or money?"
"I have done it"
"Is the conductor a relative of yours?"
-"No. sir."
"Yoa didn't put up any, personal prop
erty?" - .te

There are three of ns going down, and' "I'll
put up $25 that yon can't ride for nothing."
"Yon won't put the conductor on to me?"
"Ho."
"Well, I'm going that way myself, and I
believe I'll cover that bet. The under
standing is thai I show neither pass, ticket,
nor cash, nor secure the conductor."
"That's the size of it Put your money in
the bands of this gentleman, Judge Davis,
who lives at Batavia."
The money was put up, and next morning
we all went down to the train together. The
man who was to beat the road told ns to go
into the smoker and he would presently join
us. We got seats and the train pulled out,
and we were wondering if our man hadn't
been hauled off before the start, when the
door opened and he entered with the saluta
tion: "Tickets, if you please!"
Say, if you keep on you'll be general
