Sara Bernhardt's Whlms.

When Sara Bernhardt left the convent, it is
recorded in "The Theatres of Paris" she hesi-
tated between being nun or an actress. When
she was at last an actress, and perhaps the
most notorious in France, she suddenly felt
that she had missed her vocation, and that she
was really intended for sculptor. She called
for modelling clay and the tools of the trade;
she took few lessons, and at the annual art
exhibitions since she has exhibited various
pieces of sculpture of varying merit-not S
amateurish and quite as startling as one might
expect. Her latest attempt was a statue for
NJ. Carriers new opera house at Monaco,
which that clear-sighted architect peremptori-
ly rejected. She passes all her days in her
studio when she is not rehearsing or riding
rapidly on horseback; but already, in spite of
her success as sculptor, has she turned her
ever-restess intellect to the sister art of paint
ing.
In all this there is certain SAVIOR of merely
meretricious sensationalism. The very thinness
of which Mile .Bernhardt complains sometime
is wilfully exaggerated by her costume, and
gloves too full are deliberately wrinkled along
the arms to increase the attenuated i'm
preston. In all the recklessness of character,
in the sudden freak for sculpture and for
painting, in the balloon trips described by her.
self at length in a volume profusely illustrated
by NJ. Clairin, in the hastily dictated articles
contributed to newspapers, in the eccentric
caprices which give rise to strange tales of a
skeleton in her studio, and of coffin in which
she sleeps in the willingness to sacrifice to the
impulse of the moment the demands of art,
which must be steadily sought and long wooed
ere it be won-in all this there is evidencs of
conscious self-advertisement, not to say a dis
tinct trace of charlatanry.

Col. Hay says that at dinner not long ago
with Senator Blaine, he felt more than aver
that he had never seen a man with such uni
versal and exact knowledge. Blaine was at
home on every subject of conversation, wheth-
er it were of a general or special interest. With
learned naturalist he could discourse minute
ly and intelligeLtly on the most abstract theo-
ries of evolution. With physicians he could
discuss the latest theories of disease, while bis
knowledge of mechanics and chemistry was
such that he could explain the newest discov-
cries in electricity and the application of steam
OF wit he was overilowing In literature he
was copious with criticisms and memoirs of
the best authors. AS story-teller nobody at
the table could approach the perfection of
Blaine.

THE month of March witnessed greater
activity in the petroleum-producing districts
than any preceding month in the history of

producing 1910 barrels in February. AT the
present time $40 wells are drilling and 500
others are ready to commence, or nearly so,
against 4Sl wells drilling and 5S2 ready on
