BY ANTHONY E. ANDERSON'.
Nan Kendall held .her pretty
brown bead on one side, and critic
ally examined the picture which he
had just nnisned. ".
The easel stood by the open win
dow, through which the scent of li
lacs was borne into the low, old
fashioned parlor. Her box otcdlor
tubes stood on the floor beside the
easel, and the palette and brushes,
with the paint still moist and odor
ous upon tnem, lay upon a small
table near by. -
x es, she said, with a self satis
fied, dimpling smile, using the mahl
stick to aid her as she enumerated
the good points of her picture, I
think it will pass muster, nwJtber,
dear. Confess now that 1 man
those bits of sunshine and shade
with the skill of an old master. And
am I not represented as large as life,
only more so ?
"And what shall you call it.
dear?"a8ked Mrs. Kendall," a fair.
brown haired widow, who looked
very much like her daughter.
"Under the lilacs," 1 think. It
doesn't look very modest, I suppose,
to paint one's self, but in the dearth
of models, I was compelled to do
so." . , 'v-"'
"As if a prettier model .could be
desired," exclaimed Mrs. Kendall,
with motherly pride.
Yes, it was a pretty model, and a
very pretty bit of painted canvas.
Overhead hung great bunches of
the fragrant lilac blooms, framing
an exfuiart smiling, girlish face.
Her Land was- elretcBed" pvri
and tbe loose eleeve bad slipped
carelessly back, disclosing the white,
rounded arm.
Her apron was almost filled with
great, odorous lilac bunches, while
she was just in the act of plucking
another.
Over all the sunlight streamed,
warm, bright, golden.
"I shall go to Iew York with it
myself," said Nan, "and make oh,
ever so much money on it, mother,
dear. Then we shall have a new
carpet, for this one, though almost
hidden by rugs innumerable, is un
deniable shabby. And I shall get
my piano tuned, and buy those new
waltzes Hetty spoke of last week,
and. I'm sure, 1 don't know what
all. I thank the fates that they have
decreed old furniture to . be very
etyiish and nice, for I'm afraid I
won t get enough to buy anything
new in that direction."
Don't build too many air castles,
Nan nette," said her mother, warn-
ingly, "for you may be disappointed
after all."
But brave little Nannette's hope
fulness was not dashed in the least
She had worked so long on this pict
ure, had been so painstaking, burely
in the great city, ten miles away,
there must be some one who would
admire it and buy it.
Not quite a week later. Mr. Curtis
Van Tassel sauntered listlessly into
one of the down town cafes, toward
dusk, and settled himself, with a dis
satisfied sigh, at one of the numer
ous small tables, covered with the
whitest, softest damask, and glitter
ing with silver.
Business had been unutterably
dull during the past week, notwith
standing the fact that it was early in
spring and Mr. Van Tassel's affairs
had suilered more tban a little.
Hence his unwonted pertuberation
of mind.
So preoccupied was he that he did
not notice be had a vis a vis, till
coffee and rolls had been brought
him.
The cloud lifted suddenly from
a 4 .
bis Handsome ioreneaa, ana ne
glanced with deep interest at the girl
opposite him Nannette Kendall
herself. -
Curtis thought it was one of the
most beautiful faces he had ever
seen, exquisite in its modeling, per
fect in its contour.
Her eres looked sad and disap
pointed, as if ready to drop tears.
Yes, Nan had met' with a great
disappointment She had been un
able to sell the picture round which
her hopes bad centered so long, and
she must return hotre poorer than
before.
She had walked about the city all
day, not quite despairing of success;
uatil the approach ol evening, l hen,
fearful lest her mother might be
anxious, she had lett her picture
with a kind hearted bookseller's, who
bad promised to sell it for her if
possible.
She had decided to take the five
o'clock train, but she had missed it,
and now even her brave heart quail
ed a little at the thought of nding
home alone at night on the cars.
Faint for lack of food, she had en
tered the cafe, never dreaming she
-was guilty of extravagance unparal
leled, as it was one of the most fash
ionable, expensive restaurants in tlfe
city.
Poor Nannette! ber head was ach
ing, her nerves tingling, bef eyes
were hot with unshed tears of mor
tification and disappointment ' i
What a relief it would have been
if she could have indulged in a good,
hearty cry. Bat even that little

boon was denied her in this great,
bustling, hurrying,, noisy, selfish
city. (The adjectives are Nan's
own.) ' '" '. ' ' '
' Her repast finished, Nan put her
hand into herpoce$ ior ber shabby
little purse. The next moment she
uttered an exclamalioa of terror and
dismay. '
The purse and mimey were both
gone. 'i '
Her waiter stood Mside her with
outstretched hands, i faint smile of
1 1 . 1 l2 ll A
incruaeiuy on nis mooia counte
nance.
People who could hot find their
purses were by no qieans rare.
"But I have lost it!" faltered poor
Nan, pale and trembnng with genu
ine terror and distreiK "or else some
one has stolen it from me my purse
with So m it" - . -Curtis
Van Tassefe had heard ev
ery word. He looked at Nan critic
ally, and at the same time sympa
thetically.
The troubled look in the brown
eyes was so painfully apparent that
he did not for a moment share the
waiter's suspicion. s .
A brilliant idea, came to him
Stooping down, qutek as thought, he
abstracted a' $-5 bill "from his own
wallet
Nan had not seen'the action, but
the quick witted waiter had. -
"I beg your parclfl," Curtis said,
quickly, and connaously, "but
think this must be tiie missing bill.
I found it beside lour chair just
now. ' Doubtless yolj have taken it
out of your own purte, laid it beside
your plate, and then forgotten it
Very luckily I chanced to look
down."
"How can I ever (hank you, sir?"
IN an exclaimed, wmle the servant
gave Curtis a slight' wink, and dis
creetly kept all knowledge of the lit
tle ruse to himself, f So long as he
waspaid, it was no5 business of his
from whose pocket fe money came.
But a diligent search on Nan's
part, aided by both the waiter and
Curtis van asses brought no
purse to light, and sie was compel!
ed to go home withdnt it How the
money could be thefe and not the
purse was a mystert she was una'
bleto soire. :' I 1 .
Only a day or ;fo later Curtis
was passing HarrisJn's book store
when a minting in the window at
tracted his attentions -,
Its execution way graceful and
vigorous, but it was;tbe central fig
ure in it that be noticed. It was the
very young girl thai he met at tbe
cafe. ' ' ,t -:
I am a fool I" he, thought as he
entered and asked Cie price of tbe
picture. .
But for all that hi bought it, pay
ing $100 for it thotrih Mr. Harrison
declared that the artist would con-
"Very fine, indeed," Mr. Harrison
said volubly, glad of a chance to
make a bargain, even it it brought
no money into his own pocket, "and
a perfect likeness of the artist, Miss
Kendall, &ir. II she wasn't as poor
as a church mouse the world would
have heard of her long ago, I'll be
bound."
Curtis thought so too, and wanted
very much to know Miss, Kendall's
address, but he did not sav so.
My mother has long wished to
have her portrait painted," he said,
artfully, "but she wants it to be the
work of a a lady's brush. Do you
think if I sent Miss Kendall her pho
tograph, she would copv an oil por
trait from it?"
She would be only too glad. I
guess, Mr. an lasseis, saia wr.
Harrison, effusively, and yon
couldn't get a lady better fitted for

She knew nothing about Mr. an

I hope be will like it" she said,
on the very afternoon when Curtis

Mr. an Tassels did like it, and
he liked the little artist, too, so well
that he came again and again, on one
pretext or another.
And before many months he had
asked Nan Kendall to marry him,
and she had answered :
"Yes!"
"Nan," said Curtis, quizzically,
one day, "did you ever lose $5 ?"
Nan 6tared and laughed.
"What do you mean, Curtis? No;
but I thought I did last spring," she
said.
"Thought you did!" Curtis ex
claimed, "why, didn't you really
lose it?"
"Curtis, you'r not the gentleman

"Yes," nodded Curtis Van Tassels,
with smiling lips.
"I have sometime wondered where
I have seen you before. Oh, it was

The Romance or Mount Tenson.
Never is the auaint and beautiful
old homestead Mount Vernon love
lier than in autumn.
It was in 1858 that Col. John
Washington saw that Mt Vernon
would have to go by the auctioneer's
hammer if something did not turn
up. And here comes in the romance
of Mt Vernon. A woman who had
been a confirmed invalid since her
nineteenth year, raised a fund of
8200,000, and embodied a plan that
gave Mt Vernon to the nation. This
was Anne Pamela Cunningham, of
South Carolina. She was an only
and indulged daughter.' In her
childhood she had visited Mt Ver
non, and when she had resigned all
of life except that which could be
enjoyed in a sick room, in her early
womanhood, she took hold of a pro
ject to buy Mt Vernon, or, rather,
the project took hold of her. It is
one of the most singular instances
of indomitable energy and practical
perseverance recorded. This frail
woman, from her sick bed, aroused
an enthusiasm especially among
Southern women, that resulted in a
splendid success. She inspired Ed
ward Everett with her spirit and his
lecture on Washington poured mon
ey into tha treasury. She interested
Mme. Le Vert and Mrs. Cora Mowatt
Ritchie, and in 1850 it was accom
plished: the house, the tomb of
Washington, and 200 acres of land
belonged to a national association.
Tbe capital stock was limited to
$500,000. It was granted in perpe
tuity, and no disposition of the prop
erty could be made without the con
sent of the Legislature. None of the
Washington family thereafter was
to be' interred at Mt Vernon, and
the key of the vault was thrown in
to the Potomac river. Around the
marble tombs of George and Martha
Washington is a wooden flooring,
which, if stepped upon, starts an
electric alarm at the house. Through
the open iron work one looks into
the brick vault, where there are only
two tombs. "Hats off" is the strin
gent rule at the grave; even the
most flippant are awed into some
thing like reverence. During some
of the bloodiest days of the war, Mt
V ernon was treated a neutral ground,
and soldiers of both armies were
seen fraternizing under the trees that
guard the tomb.
1 requent description cannot de
stroy the interest of the house. Year
by year improvements are made by
the regents. As far as practicable
every State has a room, ornamented
with relics of the Revolutionary
times, arranged in the style that
firevailed at Mt Vernon during the
ifetime ' of General Washington.
Hanging in the entranco hall is the
key of the Bastile, sent to Washing
UAitiLLt&i&telJtejer the Joor
of what is called the i stale aTnictT
room Washington's field glass, placed
on its perch by the hand of Wash
ington himself, and never since re
moved.
The mantle and hearth in the din
ing-room are of marble, and extreme
ly curious; they were sent to Wash
ington from France. On the way
the ship was captured by the pirates;
when they found that this marble
was intended for Washington they
took an opportunity of landingit on
American shores, and it was forward
ed to Mt. Vernon.
In the South Carolina room hangs
the portrait of Anne Pamela' Cun
ningham. She has a refined and
thoughtful face, with deep and mean
ing eyes.
The attic room which Mrs. Wash
ington chose after General Washing
ton's death, and in which she died,
is in almost the indentical condition
in which she left it '
In a quaint little drawing-room
Nellie Curtis's drawing-room is the
grand harpsichord, as large as a
modern grand piano, which Wash
ington gave to her aB a wedding gift
This was tbe grand-niece of Mrs.
Washington, not her daughter Nel
lie who died unmarried at twenty-
two.
In the ground stands a rose bush
where, tradition relates, Nellie Curtis
received her first offer, and walking
around this rose bush six times
brings every young lady who be
lieves in the spell an offer of mar-'
riage within that year.
The place is managed upon the
most practical plan. The greenhous
es are made a source of revenue as
well as the farm. Only one boat is
allowed to land passengers there,
the entrance fee of a dollar foots up
handsomely at the end of the year.
In the old fashioned kitchen a very
good lunch may be obtained, served
by colored waiters. A superintend
ent is employed, who keeps the place
in good order, and if General and
Mrs. Martha Washington could re
turn for an hour no doubt they would
smile approvingly.
While a great elevator was being
built in Kingston, New York, a day
or two ago, a remarkable exhibition
of coolness and presence of mind
was given by one of 'the workmen.
He was standing on a scaffolding
about sixty feet high, when one of
his companions thoughtlessly
removed a stone at the foot of the
structure. Tbe whole thing gave
way, and the workman jwas
only saved from being dashed to the
ground by seizing a projecting plank.
While banging suspended in the air
he did not grow frantic and let go,
he - simply remarked to a friend
below: .
: " Jim, youll find a ladder on the
end of the wharf."
And he waited for the ladder to be
brought. Then he said he would
take it as a personal favor if his fellow
workman and companion would re
frain from removing the foundations
of the scaffolding again while he was
aloft .
In San Antonio, Texas, a $60,000
saloon is being fitted op, "of which
the mirrors alone will cost $7,000."
The glassware on the snowy bosoms
of the bar tenders'probably accounts
for the balance.
. A Pittsburgh man, aged 80, was
sent to tbe poorhons the other day
by two married daughters who are
amply able to support him.

1 Talking by Telephone Between Chi
cago and New York.
The triumphs of the speaking tel
ephone within the past seven years
have been a source of wonder to the
world. For communication on snort
lines it has come into general use,
especially in this country. ' Within
the past year some experiments have
been made with a view to determine
the practicability of the use of the
telephone in long circuits, only par
tial success being achieved where
the lines were more than 150 miles
long. Recently a corporation known
as the Postal Telegraph Company
erected a line between New York and
Chicago, using a No. 4 wire which is
made of copper, having a steel core
to stiffen it. Prof. Elisha Gray, an
electrician of New York, was the pro
jector of this line, one of the princi
pal objects of which was experiment
on the possibilities of long-distance
telephoning, and to furnish a line
for the perfecting of the same. It
was apparent that common iron
wires would not attain the result
aimed at On Monday last the lines
were connected between the offices
in New York and Chicago and a
test made of the new copper wire,
which showed a resistence of only
1,522 "ohms" against 6,000 "otyms"
on the best iron wire and lo.OtX)
"ohms "on the average iron wire.
A telephone connection was made
and an effort made to communicate,
but without success. Sounds could
be heard but the inductive troubles
from wires hung on the same poles
in the city, and in close proximity
to the copper line, made it impossi
ble to obtain satisfactory results and
it -was at once determined to make
telephonic connection at this end of
the line at the Stock Yards, the New
York end being in the company s
general office on Broadway.
iesterday morning Charles
Scribner, electrician for the A'estern
Electric Company, William Hoff-
master, his assistant, E. T. Warner,
an employe, John loung, foreman
of the outside department, and a re
porter tor the Time took an early
train for the Stock Yards, equipped
with all necessary appliances for the
contemplated talk over a thousand
miles of wire between the cities of
New York and Chicago. Batteries
were arranged, wires strung and
connected with induction coils trans
mitter, ky and receiver, and at pre
cisely eleven o'clock by Chicago
time Mr. Scribner sent his " Hello!"
through the doubled Edison trans
mitter over the thousand miles of
wire. He promptly received an an-
answer, which came so quickly and
so distinctly that he was induced to
believe that it could hardly be true
that lie was in communication with
i New York, but recognized the voice
t Mrv John, J&4Ht tt, chemitof the
Postal Telegraph Company who, in
resDonse to a question as to what
time it was, answered: " Five min
utes of twelve, which was correct
according to the difference in time
between the two points. From 11
a. m. until 3:30 o'clock in the after
noon conversations, were carried on
between the two places, the New
York parties being John A. Barrett,
Prof. Elisha Gray, George M. Phelps,
Jr., C. A. Brown, "W. A. Armstrong,
D. Cushing and a number of others.
At the Chicago end of the wire Mr.
Hoffmaster played on the mouth
organ, and E. T. Warner sang, the
report coming back that the whole
was heard distinctly. During the
greater part of the time the conver
sation was perfectly distinct, being
as plain as through an ordinary
telephone in the city. Some diffi
culties were encountered several
times by some one cutting into the
line at different points, and trom the
evident crossing of some telephone
wires either in New York or Cleve
land with the main wire, as other
voices could be distinguished at
times, and the induction became so
great that it was necessary to sus
pend for the time. The experiments,
however, were declared to be entire
ly satisfactory, results being obtain
ed which were thought to be scarce
ly possible. The volume of voice at
times was sufficient to have travers
ed fully five hundred miles more of
wire, and yet have been heard dis
tinctly. The instruments used were
the same to both ends of the wire,
and were manufactured in Chicago.
The transmitting apparatus consist
ed of a double Edison transmitter,
mounted on a single mouthpiece
connected with two induction coils
and with the main line, giving
double the volume of sound of an
ordinary transmitter. Two receiv
ers were UBed, the ordinary one and
the Scribner head telephone, which
is far superior to the other. It has
no permanent magnet, but a simple
electro-magnet mounted in an iron
case, with the ordinary diaphragm.
This is placed in the circuit with a
primary induction coil and a bat
tery, and with the main line. It
weighs hut two ounces, while the or
dinary receiver weighs about a
pound. In addition to them a key
was attached, which cut out the re
ceivers and cut into the circuit trans
mitter at will, and vice versa, thus
removing all unnecessary resistence
in the line. While talking tbe re
ceivers were out' of the line, and
while receiving the transmitters were
out Tbe experiments will be con
tinued. Chicago Times.

WHOLE NO. 1665.
Job- C. Calhoun.
Mr. Calhoun spoke like a college
Erofessor demonstrating to his class,
is position was stationary, and he
used no gesticulation. His pale and
livid countenance indicated the
cloister. His voice was silvery and
attractive, but very earnest His
eyes indicated quick perception.
Starting with the most plausible
premises, he would carry you irre
sistibly along with more plausible
reasoning until you would be puzzled
to know how much back track it was
indispensably necessary for you to
take to avoid conclusions which
would make it difficult to tell the
difference between your views and
those of a South Carolina secession
ist After having heard all the Sen
ators speak, if a stranger should se
lect the one, irrespective of doctrine,
who came nearest a saint, be would
select Mr. Calhoun, and such he is
held to be throughout most of the
South to this day.
College professors in the South
were his great admirers, and taught
his doctrines to their students. Ed
ucated clergymen and all fashiona
ble society there lost no opportuni
ties of manifesting their admiration
of him. "Have you seen Mr. Cal
houn ?" "Do you think of leaving
without seeing Mr. Calhoun?" were
questions invariably asked by south
ern Congressmen of their constitu
ents visiting Washington. And Mr.
Calhoun's prestige was so worked up
that southern visitors, both gentle
men and ladies, were as much ex
pec ted to call upon him as upon the
fresident
At the time ol his death he was
gaining a strong foothold among the
scholars of the north, who seemed
incapable of resisting the seductive
reasoning of his perceptive, com Dre-
hensive and analytic mind. Senator
John P. Hale, of New Hampshire,
once came to my seat and said : " 1
am going to astonish you. Mr.
Calhoun has just brought to me a
letter, which he said he had iust re
ceived from President Nathan Lord,
of Dartmouth College, and asked me
a great many questions about him
and the college. He left me, assert
ing that President Lord was one of
the ablest thinkers and profoundest
reasoners in the country." At that
time President Lord was not onl v the
head of the college, but of the Con
gregational denomination in New
England. With a bravery worthy
of a better cause he followed Mr.
Calhoun's doctrines to their natural
sequences, and had to give up his
position.
No mau ever exerted the influence
upon this country that Mr. Calhoun
did. AH the calamities of the late
war were the legitimate outgrowth
of doctrines of which he was the
father, and to which the sincerity of
Kb evotfo vW
advocacy

How to Keat and Sleep.
ut. cargeant discussed the ques
tion of the importance of rest and
sleep for men in training for stu
dents. A distinction should be
made, said the lecturer, between
rest and what is usually called
sleep. Recreation, in the sense of
building anew, is rest So often a
mere change in local condition is
better for a man than complete rest
or sleep, a change of activity is rest
in itself. The Indians, when tir
ed of walking, rest themselves by
running, ibis principle is too often
disregarded by students and by
men wno are training ior any par
ticular object lioating men many
times-fail to recognize the import
ance of general training, but think
their whole duty lies in the direct
exercise of rowing or in absolute
rest
The value of indirect training is
not to be over estimated. It is no
ticed that men who do not devote
themselves exclusively to one branch
of training, but aim at a general
physical developement, often excel
in their own specialties men who
only train for one branch of athlet
ics. The best examples for such
facts, said Dr. Sargeant, were to be
seen in tbe superior physical condi
tion of the men now in training for
the general excellence prize. Tbe
same rule holds good in matters of
the intellect V anety of studies is
an excellent thing. The man who
devotes himself to only one or two
subjects can hardly be said to be
Worthy of a college degree. As to
the matter of sleeplessness muscu
lar exertion, if not excessive, induces
sleep. Thus it is often a good plan
for men troubled with sleeplessness
to exercise in the evening before re
tiring. Men should be warned
against the use of drugs to cure
sleeplessness. The sleep thereby in
duced is not a genuine sleep. After
any violent or unusual exercise a
warm bath is to be highly recom
mended before retiring. The prac
tice of bathing the feet alone is a
doubtful one, however. It is in gen
eral, best not to be dependent upon
an artificial condition to secure sleep.
One should aim at a complete mas
tery over himself in such matters, so
that he can command sleep at will
and thus economize time and force.
By such a course the usual average
of his sleep can be reduced to seven
or six and a half hours with safety.
Tbe habit of reading one's self to
Bleep id to be deprecated, since it
may become a troublesome one and
interfere sadly with serious study. It
is doubtful whether the sleep gain
ed before 12 o'clock is of any more
value than that afterward. The con
ditions favorable to sleep are then
not usually so many.
