her crown and dignity.

Asa matter Of euriosity-and moth
ing else everybody wants to know how
Sarah Bernhardt looks. From the
multitude OF descriptions In New York
and Brooklyn papers-from notes made
Ia the presence II not under the revis-
ion OF the actress-wc a supply that
want TO the extent that type will admit.
She Is then-and we have a reporters
assurance for every sssertion-above the
medium height; she is rather short;
she Is tall; she is very thin; the idea Of
thinness could not occur 10 n looking
at her; her eyes are diamond shape, they
are oval; they are steel gray; they are
light blue; they are brown; they have n
yeilowish CLEAN; her hair Is almost
white; IL is light brown; IL is tawney; ii
Is silken brown; 1t Is golden; she has
not u whit the look Of a Jewess; her
nose betrays her race; see is handsome;
she Is far from handsome; her face Is
triangular; her chin is well rounded;
she is u brunette; she Is n pronounced
blonde; seen In outline, we almost for
get TO say, her nose has "a ripple" II
will he seen from this that this woman
Of diversified talent has appearances Ia
correspond.
The English idea Of sport is often a
very comical one. A great lord and
land owner has deer park full Of half
tanned deer. lie invites n party OF
friends 10 take n morning out. they
slaughter n few OF these and return To
the baronial halls rs II they were
mighty hunters. A duke has fine pre-
serves, and In company with three or
four guests and u few game-keepers TO
beat up the game, he gets away with n
few hundred hares. This is what the
noble Englishman calls "sport. +"
Whereas. In reality, II is no more sport
In the American sense than for n wyo-
ming ranchman 10 stroll out among his
herds with u repeating rifle and shoot
down a few beeves or sheep. In Eng
land it is considered worthy an editorial
in n London paper when the Earl OF
Cawdor and party numbering six guns
were cut shooting on his estate and
succeeded in tagging the extraordinary
number OF 800 hares." When il is re-
membcred that some OF these estates
30 swarm with hares that 1t is n stand
ing complaint that nothing can be
raised In their vicinity, and that killing
them is like going into n cattle yard
with a club, the reader will catch the
English idea.
1t is very dlsagreeable to deal with n
nan of very decided opinions. lie
can't comprehend how any one can
think differently from himself, and
therefore, intrudes his notions upon you

1t is a still more disagreeable thing 10
deal with "A man who has no opinions
at all, who always agrees with the last
person he talks TO, who declares that
you are n saint to the man that be-
lieves you 10 he so, aud, with just as
much emphasis, asserts that you are a
villain TO the next man, 10 whom pos
sibly you may have sold u horse who

paid for him. These op!nionless people
are the pests Of society; and when. be-
sides being ~opinionless, they have an
uncommon fluidity Of speech, and talk
all the time, one can be far happier in
the neighborhood Of n hornets nest
than in their society. One Of this ilk

the pedestrian. "Only shoost n little
