IN ANNE HATHAwAY's COTTAGE

Charles Warren Stoddard sends this
interesting letter to one of hisfriends in
San Francisco:
Wherethink youI am at this moment?
Well, 1aminthemainroomof the Hath
way cottage Ia mile from Stratford-on-
Avon not three feet fromthe very Chin
ney in which VIII Shakespeare used to
make love to his Anne. The old settee
is close at my elbow, and the room itself
is called one of the most perfect pre-
served specimens of the sixteenth cen
fury farmhouse living room. The old
dame, whose great grandmother was a
Hathaway, is blowing up the fire in the
big chimney, and we are to have supper
presently cooked In thevery spot where
Shakespeare has many a time toasted
his toes. Tonight / am to sleep in
Anne Hathaway's bed, whichis a marv-
elOus old frame, most c~uriOusly carved,
and which has been IN the house o
than three hundred years. l am quite
lucky in getting this privilege, but L
have made love to the old dame, andwe
get ON in the contest fashion, 1t seems
almost like sacrilege, but shall say my
prayers thrice over, and trust to the
angels to make it all square with the
original tenants.
Later-We have Just finished supper
the dame, the husband and myself, all
three of us sitting in thegreat chimney.
/ had ham that was raised on the place
and cured in this very chimney, and a
pork-pie-aShakespearea npOrk-pie you
may call it, made In the house by a de-
scendent Of the Hathaways.

CORSETS.

The crusade against corsets has been
long and unavailing. Every lecturer
upon hygiene has felt it his or her duty
to decry the use of the waist embracer;
but lovely woman continued to court
corsets and consumption, and the cry
went unheeded. Since this is so, it is
refreshing to find one lecturer, a Mrs.
Lyman, who is willing to tolerate their
use. She says:
Now if women cannot be cured of
excess of inactivity the next best thing
to do is to put them in a straight
jacket. COrsets are a result of modern
modes of living. Women, however,
who sit much, or very heshy women,
might better wear them than suffer
from diseases that may result because
they lack means of support. A woman
who wears a corset cannot sit bent far
over. The steel and bones of a corset
distribute the weight which would
otherwise cut into the body from skirts
and other bands, and thus cause atOrpid
state of abdominal muscles. Corsets
can be so made and so worn that a full
and deep respiration can be taken. 1t
would be safe to compare a half-dozen
women who habitually wear corsets
with a half-dozen who do not"

THE wHIMs OF MACHINERY.

IAoW AT oNNthAAA
There are some curiosities about ma
chimes which seem to be unaccountable.
Every user of a sewing-machine
knows that from some unknown reason
the machine which yesterday perform
ed its work so well, so almost enthusi-
astically, to-day refuses to do more
than half its task and does that half in
a surly, Indifferent manner. So with
many other machines. Even the steam
engine is subject to these fits. Is there
some occult bond of sympathy between
the operator and his machine, by which
the latter is influenced by the mental
condition of the former for it is GER
tain that these differences cannot be
atmospheric or other external iniu-
ences? This matter is quite humor-
ously and truthfully treated in the sub
joined extract:
1T is perfectly well known to expe-
rienced engineers that if a dozen diff
ferent locomotive engines were made at
the same time, of the same power, for
the same purpose, of like materials, in
the same factory, each of those locomo-
tive engines would come out with its
own peculiar whims and ways, only as
c~ertainable by experience. One engine
will take a great meal of coal and water
at once; another will not hear to such a
thing, but viii insist on being coaxed
by spadefuls and bucketfuls. One is
disposed to start off when required at
the top Cd his speed: another must have
a little time to warm at his work and to
get well into it. These peculiarities are
so accurately mastered by skillful
drivers that only particular men can
persuade engines to do their best. 1t
would seem as if some of these excel
lentmonsters declared on being brought
out of the stable, If it's Smith who is
to drive, ] won't 90. If it's my friend
Stokes, l am agreeable to anything
"Al locomotive engines are low
spirited in damp and foggy weather.
They have a great satisfaction in their
work when the air is crisp and frosty.
AT such a time they are very cheerful
and brisk, but they strongly object to
haze and mlsts. These are points of
character on which they are united.
1t is IN their peculiarities and varieties
OF character that they are most remark
able.
1.-The railway company who should
consign all their locomotives TO one
uniform standard of treatment without
any allowance for varying shades of
character and opinion, would soon fall
as much behindhand in the world as
those greater governments are, and
ever Will be, who pursue the same course
with the finer piece of work called
man"

BOARDING MADAME NIISSOS

a New York letter to the Boston
Saturday Gazette says:
Madame Nilsson-R Ouzead has
changed her quarters from the Claren.
don to The Windsor Hotel. She sud.
denly took the notion into her head.
and without as much as ''by your leave
to Nh. Strakosch, who foots tie hotel
bills, and might, therefore, be supposed
to take some interest. Nilsson is a will
full creature, andextravagant, too, with
other peoples money. Mr.. Strakosch's
contract with her Is that he shall pay
all her expenses. That includes hotel
bill for self, husband, man servant. and
maid servant, horse and carriage
amounting TO S300a week. She has al.
ways boarded at the Clarendon unit
this freak for living at the Windsor
tOOA possession of her. 1t was Mr..
Strakosch's bargain topay her expenses
at a "hrst-class" hotel; and no one can
deny but that the Clarendon meets
every requirement In that respect,
You would scarcely believe the
items that Nine. Nilsson has on her
bill for Mr.. Strakosch to pay There
Ia washing, newspapers, and postage
stamps, all charged to him. Whether
Nilsson Acknowledges any personal ex-
penses at all is a question. She has
already received for services, this year,
$4,000 in gold, so one would suppose
that she might keep herself in postage
stamps. During a recent visit TO Phil
adelphia, the orchestra of the troupe
thought they would give the prima
donna a serenade; it would be a good
advertisement and let the people know
that Nine. Nilsson had really arrived
In town. They came and played under
her window at the Continental, and were
invited In to champagne by ths fair
~cantatrice, and they drank and were
merry. The next day Stakosch ~receiy-
ed a bill of $50 for champagne.
While out In Chicago, Nils on wanted
to attend the theatre; so she took a box
and a carriage, and invited her
friends, and sent the bin to Mr..
Strakosch- No wonder that she has
made money and Strakosch has lost.
His expenses have been $500. 900, and
hers nothing. That he is poorer to-day
by $4,000 than the day be opened
here last fall is not surprising to those
who know the ms and outs of the bust
ness. Nine. Nilsson has nothing to do
with her money but to bank it or spec
ulate with 1t. When his friends haveex-
pOstulated with Mr.. Strakosch for pay
ing her ridiculous demands, he would
reply that 1t was only a few dollars,
and that he would rather pay it than
have the row that would ensue if he
should refuse. 1t is unfortunate that
an artist with Missions reputation
should have such smallness. 1t may be
that having been elevated from want
to luxury, she has not yet gotten quite
used to the easy way she can make
money, which makes her as careful of
the pennies as she should be Of the
pounds.

DARWINISM $50 YEARS OLD.
From The T;Dc;,.o%g LA

1t seems strange, it sounds even pre-
posterous, yet 1t is truel That modern
Shibboleth in the camp of philosophy
Darwinism-was distinctly asserted and
decidedly cherished four hundred and
fifty years ago, by one of the foremost
Hebrew scholars, byno less a man than
Rabbi Josef Albo, of Aragon, the
author of Sepher Kkdrim Book of
First Principles), 1414-142S. In the
first chapter of the third section of this
classic work, that still sways the mind
of many an enlightened and prominent
lsraelite, AlbO writes I'VE translate as
infinitely as possible): Looking at
the different forms that are exhibited
in all material beings, we notice that
they evolve step by step toward perfec-
ton, 81 that the later order is always
.nobler than the preceding one, Just as
If matter would endeayor to assume
the perfect forms in place of the
imperfect, because at first it undergoes
the lowest orders, ascending afterward
to the higher, until it reaches by de-
grees the perfect organization. For
matter, in its beginning, has only to
show a primeval elementary formation;
then it develops into the mineral
kingdom, this again forms the ground
upon which the vegetable kingdom de-
ponds as its natural issue, and the
plants again evolve into the animal
world, which serves as the s~ubstructure
for the species of man. Here evolution
seems to stop. The same law of eyolu-
ton, whereby every preceding act must
be looked at as the preparatory step to
the subsequent process, the same law
seems to work upon the lower organiza-
tons In order to make them fit to de-
velop into higher classes. The same
principle that underlies any evolution,
whereby the final result-the at
tanning of the end-must beconsidered
as the main cause Of each particular
progress; the same principle rules also
the ascent of all beings, until it reaches
its highest degree in man, where it re-
mains, for man is the highest design In
the development of the lowest organi-
cations. ......... And so the ape may be
recognized as the connecting link be-
tween the different animals and the hu-
man race" Keenly and clearly wefeel,i in
feel, in quoting these words of the most
brilliant stars in the galaxy of the clas-
sic Hebrew theologians, that the great
expounders of our religion were not the
rigid dogmatists some would ike to
pronounce them.

THE POWER OF IMAGTNATIOS

Alexander Dumas published some
time ago, In a daily Paris paper. a
novel in which the heroine, prosperous
and happy, is assailed with consump-
ton. All the gradual symptoms were
most touchingly described, and the
greatest interest was felt for the he
roine.
One day the Marquis de Dalomieu
called on him.
Dumas" said he, shave you COM
posed the end of the story now being
published in the -s"
"Of course"
docs the heroine die at the end?''
"Of course, dies, of course, dies of
consumption. After suchsymptoms as
l have described, how could she hve?"
"fou will have to make her live.
You must change the catastrophe"
81 cannot"
Eyes, you must; foron your heroine's
life depends my daughter'sl"
"Your daughter'ss'
"Yes. She has all the various symp-
toms Of consumption you have de-
scribed, and watches mournfully for
every humble OF your novel, reading
her OWL fate in your heroine's. Now,
If you make your heroine live, my
daughter, whose imagination has been
deeply impressed, viii live too. Come,
a life to save is a temptation"
mot to be resisted
Dumas changed his last chapter. His
heroine recovered and was happy.
About five years afterwards Dumas
met the Marquis at a party.
"Ah, Dumasl" he exclaimed, "let
me introduce you to my daughter; she
owes her life to you There she is"
""That fine, handsome woman, who
looks like jeanne d'Arc?'
Eyes; she is married and has four
children"
"And my novel four editions" said
Dumas; 80 we are quits"
