••Alice of Old Vincennes."
Another cnchantingly interesting
story is delighting readers of the Sun
day North American. "Alice of Old
Vincennes," by Maurice Thompson, is
both thrilling and pathetic, a word
picture of the life of the early settlers in
Indiana, which portrays the lights and
shadows of pioneer days with the skill
of the expert. Through this border life,
with its shooting affrays and fierce fights,
Alice of Old Vincennes moves like a being
from a world of her own. She Is a
fascinating character to those who
compare her with the modern girl. And
yet her prototvpo could be readily fouud
in those strenuous pioneer days.
Alice Rous9illon is described as a tall,
lithe girl at play beneath a cherry treo
with her foster brother, Jean, tho
hunchback. Thoy are interrupted by
l'ere lieret, the parish priest. Gaspard
Roussillon, tho adopted father of the
children, a stalwart French immigrant,
had taken the two waifs and had given
them a home. The girl was of Protes
tant parentage, but their guardian had
refused to interfere with her religion,
much to the regret of the good priest.
After chiding tho children for their
rough play Pere Beret was told that a
quantity of alcholic liquor has just
reached Vincennes. Ho made no sign of
of approval or disapproval, but as he sat
on the doorsill of his home thinking of
it, a letter was handed him.
The continuation of tho story will be
found in tho Sunday North American.
AVbnt the Wltm'MH Saw.
"Do you mean to swear," said the
foreman of the Jury to the witness,
"that at the time of the quarrel that
constitutes the cause of this action you
saw the prisoner with a coal scuttle in
his hands making ready to heave it at
his wife?" %
"Not exactly," said the witness, with
considerable hesitation. "I mean to
swear that I saw the prisoner with a
coal scuttle in his hands."
"In what attitude was he then?"
asked the presiding judge.
"Well, now, since your lordship has
asked, I'll tell the truth. The prisoner
was lying down with the coal scuttle
over his head and his wife ou the top
of It."
The jury returned a verdict of not
guilty.—London Chronicle.
BICMMIIIKM Horn of Sorrown.
The world's greatest blessings have
come out of its greater sorrows. Bald
Goethe, "I never had an a miction
which did not turn into a poem." No
doubt the best music and poetry in all
literature had a like origin, if we could
only know Its whole story. It is uni
versally true that poets "loam in suf
fering what they teach in song." Noth
ing really worth while in life's lessons
comes easily and without pain and
cost.
Her Wonderfnl Self Restraint.
"I tell you self restraint is a good
tiling."
"Yes. But what made you think of
it?"
"That prattv Miss Jackson. She was
introduced to a young man from Joliet
the other day and didn't ask him how
he got out. Now he's fallen heir to a
fortune, and they say that she practi
cally lias him landed."—Chicago Uec

WUNIIIUKIOII Timber,
"Pennsylvania nvenue at one time

was the remark I made to a George

"Yes," was the gentleman's reply,

timber on nearly every street in Wash
ington."— Yon Iters Statesman.

MRS. LYDIA HART GREEN.
An Illinois Woman Who PatntN In
meets For Scientific Works.
Tlio problems and dilliculties con
fronting the scientific worker who
would produce on paper or cauvas the
beauties and peculiarities of moths,
butterllies, fishes and similar small
creatures could only be successfully
solved by an artist of uo mean ability,
as well as of an unusually exact and
well regulated state of mind. There
are scarcely half a dozen individuals
in the world who dare or care to
grapple with these problems, and one
of the most strikingly successful and
famous of these individuals is an Illi
nois woman who has scarcely bidden
goodby to her girlhood, yet who has
been doing this rare and rarely diffi
cult work for some time.
Mrs. Lydia Hart Green, the woman
mentioned, is a devoted nature student,
a colorist of no mean ability, a scien
tist who revels in details and detailed
expression, a tireless, indefatigable
worker, who considers no care or pains
MBS. IjYDIA HAKT GKEEN.
too great to produce the desired result.
She was born in Quincy, 111., and re
ceived her education in the grammar
and high schools of that vicinity.
While still young her work attracted
the attention of u scientific illustrator
attached to the Illinois State univer
sity at Urbaua, 111. Because of the
"delicate touch" for which Mrs. Greeu
is now famous she was intrusted with
the duty of ussisting the official illus
trator of the state laboratory, which
finds a home in one of the university
buildings. When a little later this man
left Urbaua, Mrs. Green, Miss Lydia
Moore Hart ut that time, slipped into
his place. Although her work has im
proved remarkably since that period,
it was considered of sufficient und
unique interest to form part of one
of the state exhibits at the World's
fair.
The scientifically accurate portrayal
of butter%' S, moths and other insects
presents difficulties that are perplex
ing, since the necessity of securing ex
act color renders a living specimen of
concomitant necessity, und the living
creature knows few moments of actual
repose. But the delicate perceptions,
equally delicate touch, perfect sense of
color and unerring reproductive pow
ers of the devoted worker enable her
to reproduce in a water color painting
all of the beauty and wonderful mark
ings of the subject under considera
tion and to do work with a brush and
wet color which looks us though it
were a photogruphic reproduction of
lines made by a lead pencil with fine
point.
Some of her microscopical work is
almost incredibly fine and delicate,
every varying shade and color tone,
every tiny line and every infinitesimal
detail of an insect no larger than the
head of a common pin being shown in
exquisite perfection. The velvety tex
ture and satiny sheen of a beetle's
body or a butterily's wing she repro
duces exactly. Iler colors and texture
values are at once the admiration and
the despair of her fellows, and she her
self cannot always tell exactly how
they are attained. While possessing all
a scientist's deprecation of mere emo
tional feeling, she says that a peculiar
"feeling," of evidently intuitional ori
gin, is her safest guide as to the man
ner in which a certain piece of work
is progressing.—Chicago Tribune.
l)o Not Excite the Baby.
There Is no wonder if n young child
is overexcited that the doctor is often
summoned to prescribe for a crying
child who turns night into day and
makes life hideous to the family. By
a little Inquiry he oftentimes finds the
poor baby is given its daily bath in
public, other children standing around
to make a noise to drown the baby's
cries and distract his attention, and
often the nursing—that most holy of
services—lnstead of being a period of
quiet retirement on the part of the
mother, with concentration of thought
toward the good of her child, Is attend
ed to in the midst of family cares or
amid the distractions of company.
Some years ago I was attending u
meeting of the prominent women of
the country In New York. We listened
to some papers 011 education and on
hygiene and the wise management of
the home and the development of the
child, and at the close of one of the
sessions three or four of us were In
vited to come the next day to a beauti
ful home 011 Fifth avenue and "see the
babies bathe." We did go, to our
shame be it spoken, and a pair of twins
were given their bath before half a
dozen ladies, who stimulated the little
victims of eight months to extra exer
tions in the tubs. I have not heard any
thing from those children since, but if
they do not develop into neurasthenic
creatures I miss my Judgment.—Dr.
Julia Holmes Smith in Pilgrim.
Kitchen Comfort.
I am not very strong, so when wash
ing dishes, making bread and doing
numerous other things I sit on a stool
some four Inches lower than the table.
All housekeepers who are not strong
should try this. They have no Idea
what a help it is and Uow much more
they can do and with so much less fa
tigue. When working In the kitchen,
I wear a large apron with a bib; also
oversleeves made of duck or anything
suitable aud durable, made a little full,
reaching above the elbow, with a band
buttoning at the wrist. These may be
fastened by means of a pin or a rub
ber baud. They are easily and quick
ly put on and save one's sleeves so
much.—Good Housekeeping.
LliiKcrie Trimming.
Iu trimming underwear try this
method of treating the lace: Let it be
an Inexpensive novelty lace or an im
itation and outline the figures with
coarse wash silk. Go around them In
a running stitch, and when you have
finished note the elegant appearance
the lace will have, says the Brooklyn
Eagle.
It will look curiously like not lace
with applique figures, and the beauty
of it Is that It will launder a thousand
times as well after the treatment, so
that the second estute of that luce will
be better than the first.
l'retty Tuble Cover.,
A pretty table cover Is made of one
inch insertion around plain muslin
slips. Crochet edgings, especially of
Irish make, are used as borders to
muslin covers, embroidered In white
or in natural colors. Darned net and
guipure d'art are once more fashion
able for the purpose, with the intro
duction of tinsel threads and dainty
ribbon bows. The strongest slips are
perhaps those consisting of a deep
scroll border, fashioned with coarse
half inch braid and connected with
crochet work instead of lace stitches.
I'.nrllii' 11 .Vllre JnrH.
There is one thing about the Ameri
can kitchen that might be remedied—
too many tin receptacles are used. An
Armenian kitchen Is supplied with in
numerable earthen Jars, some with
handles and some without. There are
jars with broad, round bases and jars
built 011 the slender order, but they all
have covers and aro kept sweet and
clean. It is almost impossible to avoid
a musty odor In tin, but earthenware
can be made wholesome and dry, and
It does not cost such a lot of money
either.
C'uNliioiiN and Color.
When care Is used In grouping cush
ions on a couch so that the color
scheme Is harmonious, the result is
ample compensation for the extra trou
ble. Thus green, yellow and golden
brown muko a good blending for a
couch in u room furnished in weath
ered oak. Where oriental rugs show
ing a touch of blue, us many of them
do, are used for the lloor covering or
the wall covering or draperies are of
bluish tint, a cushion or two of blue
combine well with pillows or brown
aud yellow.
l'Viniiiliie Cmirngc.
Women are more courageous than
men, and for a very good reason
namely, that they have to suffer paiu
so much more frequently. The major
ity of women suffer physically so much
more than the majority of men that
they learn to endure pain with com
parative fortitude. The mere fact that
men suffer so little causes them to
dread the very idea of pain and when
it comes to bear it badly.—l'all Mall
Gazette,
Smoothing Irons,
Where there are many starched
clothes to be done up weekly It is a
good plan to wash the irons once a
week, but where plain clothes aud only
u few starched are to be done once a
month is often enough. Take seme
clean ummuuiu soapsuds and with a
cloth wash the Irons well, afterward
wiping with a dry cloth; then put
them 011 the buck part of the stove to
dry thoroughly.
Meal..
When ordering meats, remember that
beef when boiled loses one pound of
weight in every four and when rousted
eighteen ounces. Mutton loses even
more tlmu beef. This should be
thought of where much meat is used.
When a candle—wax, sperm or par
affin—is too lurge to put in the caudle
stick, dip the end In hot wutcr for a
few moments to melt down to the re
quired size.
Clover for pillows needs to bo well
dried, pud only the blossoms used, and
should be packed first iu slips of stout
muslin.
Almost a quarter of the women of
Germany earn their living by their
own labor, mostly In farm work.
If you can get some eodar dust, sprin
kle it 011 your stove while cooking veg
etables that have a strong odor.
HATS AND SERMONS.
An EnsllNh Mlnl.ter'. Appeal to the
LuiUe. ot Hi. Church,
A popular preacher whose church Is
at a fashionable seaside resort recently
made a somewhat remarkable request
to the women of his congregation from
the pulpit, says the London Express.
He boldly asked them to make a prac
tice of taking off their hats at sermon
time. "My church," ho explained, "is
not built like a theater. Now, If the la
dles, in all kindness and good manners,
remove their hats during the perform
ance of a play at a theater, where the
scats are gradually raised one above
the other, I am sure my hearers can
have no reasonable objection to doing
the same here.
"It is primarily n question of good
manners. It Is very annoying to be
compel led to dodge between a lady's
big or little liat to see the preacher.
Besides, you know that many people's
eyes seem to assist their ears—tluit is
to say, they think tlicy can hear better
if they can see. People want to see the
minister when he is preaching, and to
have to dodge about interferes with the
proper understanding of the sermon,
while for the preacher to see a dodging
congregation has a distinct effect on
his delivery of a sermon.
"I also want the women to have their
hats off In order that they may be
quite at ease. Moreover, it Is said that
nearly every woman looks best with
her hat off. To be sure, people like to
look their best, which is quite proper.
But it all comes back to the matter of
the greatest good to the greatest num
ber.
"I have been told that ladles can put
011 their hats with much celerity and
satisfaction without u looking glass, as
they instinctively know when they nre
011 right. For my part I shall rejoice
to view a hatless, congregation, and I
am sure it will not hurt the (lower gar
den to be out of view for half an hour
in the cause of Christianity."

nere, according to an artist just re
turned from Paris, Is James MacNcill
Whistler's latest:
A group of American and English
artists were discussing the manifold
perfections of the lute Lord Lclghtou,
president of the Iloyal academy:
"Exquisite musician. Played the vio
lin like a professional," said one.
"One of the best dressed men In Lon
don," snid another.
"Danced divinely," remarked a third.
"Ever read his essays?" asked a
fourth. "111 my opinion they're the best
thing of the kind ever written."
Whistler, who had remained silent,
tapped the last speaker 011 the shoul
der.
"Painted, too, didn't lie?" he said-
New York Times.
Remarkable DodlcN.
Ilimian remains recently uncartlioil
at Girga, In Egypt, consist of a contin
uous series extending backward over
at least 8,000 years. The bodies are
so well preserved owing to the dryness
of the atmosphere In the region, and to
the perfection, that not only can the
hair, the nails, the ligaments, be made
out, but also the muscles and the
nerves. In almost every case the brain
also Is preserved, and the climax has
been reached in two cases where the
eyes, with the lens In good condition,
are present. There are now unearthed
a series of later prehistoric graves
ranging throughout the first fifteen dy
nasties, others of the eighteenth and
yet others of the Ptolemaic and early
and recent Coptic periods.
Cryatalllne Quarts.
Crystalline quartz Is used principally
as a wood finisher, and the entire pro
duction of this material for this pur
pose Is accredited to Connecticut.
Crystalline quartz Is used ulso as an
abrasive In the stonecuttlng trade, and
u small amount of quartz Is crushed
and sized and used In the manufacture
of sandpaper. The production of crys
talline quartz In 11)01 was 14,050 short
tons, valued at $41,500, as compared
with 14,401 tons, valued at $40,705 in
1000. Those values are for the crude
quartz. After it has been prepared for
market its value Is from three to four
times as great.
Light I'rcHnurc.
Perhaps the most interesting single
achievement of the year 1001 was the
experimental proof that light exerts a
mechanical pressure. The fact had
been foretold by Clerk-Maxwell from
pure theory. It was verified by experi
ment both in Europe and America. The
pressure on a square meter is four
teutlis of a milligram for absolutely
black bodies and double that for per
fect reflectors.
A Four Footed FINII.
A unique specimen of ocean life lins
been captured at Honolulu for the
United States fishing vessel Albatross,
now cruising in that vicinity. It is a
small fish which has four feet. They
uro webbed like the feet of a frog and
are apparently the link between foot
and tin. The specimen is said to be one
of u few s'jicli fish found in the world.
Crazed by Fright.
During the Inspection of a new ex
press engine ut Louburg, on the Ivlev-
Poltava line, in ltussia, an elderly
priest mounted the footplate and Inad
vertently set the engine in motion.
Messages were telegraphed along the
line to keep It clear, and eventually the
engine enme to a stop for want of wa
ter. The priest went uiud with fright.
