humble origin, uneducated, and had
boosted of never wearing silk dress or
kid glove, but she was famous and BE
loved as a friend of the poor children of
Louisiana. Many years ago she nursed
a dying man. He had a little property,
which he left to her for charity. She
bought with this money a cheap eating
house and bakery on the river front, and
and she sold wholesome food to steam
boat laborers at q little more than cost.
"She gave them a roll and cup of cof-
fee to keep them from spending q quar-
ter for whisky" says the account, "and
they took the roll and coffee, and then
spent twenty cents for whisky all the
same" The business prospered, and she
might have accumulated wealth; but she
established and partially maintained
three orphan asylums with the profits,
and died rich only in reputation.

"COOL =" BURGESS.
The Man of Many Laughs---A Sanity Stump
Speech by Sanity Sinner.


[From the Chicago Times.]
The name of the gentleman heading
bis article needs no Introductory re-
knows who "Cool" Burgess is, and
what he liz; everybody who is anybody
has seen and laughed at his grotesque
performances, and enjoyed them in such
@ manner as to never forget them.
Goods" laugh is contagious and hila-
rious, and, like the cut of his unmen-
tonables, is unlike anything of the kind
on or off the boards. His oratorical
powers are certainly unequaled, and, as
he says himself, without egotism, he
" don't believe that My Lord Roscoe,
with all his boosted powers as an orator,
could deliver my stump speech as do"
We coincide in the opinion ourselves.
Mr.. Burgess tells heap of trnth un-
der the guise of burlesque in his roar
ing and amusing stump speech. His hit
at the navy is pretty good thing; when
he straightens himself up and
seriously says that "we have as
much water as ever" and then, "but
where, oh where are our ships ?" the
laugh that follows is pretty good indi-
IL with water alone that Mr.. Burgess
deals Ii his oratory; that gentleman tells
some remarkable truths about oil-one
Oil in particular, and that is st. Jacobs
Oil, the Great German Remedy for rheu-
matism. We doubt if he receives q
more hearty laugh at any time during
his performance-and he receives many
such-than when he tells everyone to
use ST. Jacobs Oil, the Great German
Remedy. Mr. Burgess very earnestly
recommends it as the great panacea, and
to show his esteem of the Oil produces
a bottle from the capacious pocket of his
ulster to show that he knows what he is
talking about.
This part of Mr.. Burgess perform
ance struck the writer as very laughable,
and he called on Mr.. Burgess to ask him
how he came to introduce the Oil in his
speech. In reply to his interrogatories
Mr.. Burgess said:
CT look upon the stage, my dear sir.
as means of educating the people, and
human nature is such that truth told in
the guise Of humor Will be remembered
longer than the plain, unvarnished ar
ticle. Every word L say regarding the
wonderful merits of st. Jacobs Oil [
mean. I am the greatest admirer of that
wonderful medicine there is in the pro-
fession, and there is not an actor in the
country who will not speak in praise of
the Great German Remedy. The bottle
which is produced by me on the stage is
no prop bottle, butthe genuine article,
as l never travel without St. Jacobs Oil.
1t cured me of the rheumatism when I
was SO bad with that aggravating disease
as to have to give up my business. It
cured me permanently, too, and am so
thankful for being cured that I praise it
continually. It cured my wife, also, of
the same disease, and know score of
performers who have been cured by it.
In fact, no performer of good sense tray
els without that medicine. You know
rheumatism is their especial dread; soon
er or later it comes to them all; owing to
their mode of living and travelling"

Romance of Life,

One night in 1901 q little girl about
one year old was deposited in the drawer
of the founding hospital at Brest,
France. She was dressed with much
hnery and note attached to her skirts
told that her name was Solange, and
that she would be reclaimed by her
father. The claim was never made,
however, and in due time the child was
transferred to the orphan asylum to be
educated there. AS she grew up she
developed a most extraordinary beauty,
but her intellect appeared to be very
weak, and she suffered from nervous fits.
When she was IL years old she was sent
her beauty and her MOD esty attracted
many peoples good will; but she grew
weaker and weaker, and at last she died,
or at least it was thought SO. According
to French custom she was buried in an
open casket, and as it was winter and the
soil was frozen, she was laid in the grave
only covered with thin layer of sand.
During the night she awoke. and push
ing the sand away, she crept out from
the grave. Not exactly understanding
what had taken place, she was not SO
very much frightened, but in crossing
the glacis between the cemetery and the
fertilization, she was suddenly stopped
by the cry, '' Qua vive!" and as che did
not anawer, the sentinel fired, and she
fell to the ground. Brought into the
guard-house, her wounds were discover
ed to be very slight, and she soon recov-
cred. But her singular history and also
her great beauty had made so deep an
impression on young lieutenant of the
garrison-Kramer- he determined
to be her protector, and sent her to one
of the most fashionable educational es-
Establishments in Paris. During the next
few years Kramer was much tossed about
by the war, but when. in 1918 he return
ed to Paris, found Solange full grown
woman, not only beautiful, but accom-
plished and spirited, with no more trace
of intellectual weakness or nervous fits.
He married her and for several years the
couple lived happily in Paris. Mean
phile Investigations were made concern
the girl left in 1901 in the founding
hospital at Brest, and these Investigations
being made by the Swedish ambassador,
and in a somewhat official manner, they
attracted some attention. Capt. Kramer
heard about the affair and sent note to
the ambassador, and month later on
the ambassador came in state to bring
Nine. Kramer formal acknowledge
ment from her father, the former
Marshal Bernandotte, afterward King
Charles XIV. of Sweden. Capt. Kramer
and his wife went Immediately to Stock
holm, and were ennobled. The son
some time ago was appointed attache to

TONY Pastor in Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now
with his inimitable variety combination
making tour Of the principal cities Of
the Union, is recognized as the leading
character vocalist and variety performer
of the United States. He owns and runs
first class theatre on Broadway, New
York City, and has gathered about him
the best troupe of variety artists that
could be obtained. The company has
just completed brilliant engagement at
the Walnut Street Theater, Philadel-
phia, and after the present tour they
will reappear in Tony Pastors own
theater in New York City. Mr.. Pastor
is the originator of his peculiar school of
character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by
his talents large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr. Pas
tor recently at the Bingham House, in
Philadelphia, and found him as genial
in private as he is amusing before the
public. During our conversation in
quired as to his physical health, and he
replied that, notwithstanding the strain
upon him in the discharge of his frofes-
sional duties, it was excellent. He had
occasional severe pains, either the re-
suit of rheumatic attacks or colds, but
any complaints of that character never
troubled him long, as he had found out
a remedy for all such annoying affec-
tons. I asked him what the remedy
was, and he replied, est Jacobs Oil"
then learned from Mr. Pastor that he
considered the Great German Remedy
an excellent preparation for the cure or
of Of VII E1oA
about the only thing used among profess
sional people for that distressing COM
plant. He took bottles of it with him
whenever he went travelling, and would
not be without it, and knew that it was
very popular with a number of members
of his own company. A conversation
held subsequently with various members
of the organization revealed the fact that
ST. Jacobs Oil had been performing most
invaluable service for them in the way of
curing them of rheumatism. Nearly
everylartist in the troupe used it, and was
enthusiastic in its praise, and the writer
was really forced to the conclusion that
Tony Pastor was certainly In luck in
having SO valuable an article known and
employed by his inimitably good COM
pany of performers, for it enabled every
one to be always III his place, thus in
suripg comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble
without ST. Jacobs Oil. At least, other
managers whose artists have been tenn
porarily unsupplied, have noticed the
difference between st. Jacobs Oil in
stock and st, Jacobs Oil out of stock
among the members of their companies.

How to Cook Eggs.

From the Chicago Inter-Ocean.l
Lecturing on eggs, and How to
Cook Them" before the Dearborn Sem
mary yesterday afternoon, Mrs. E. P.
Ewing opened with the statement that
the national loss from improperly cook
ed eggs amounted to $4,000 daily.
Modern cook books, she said, differ as to
the length of time required to boil an
egg. Some claim that an egg to be just
right should be boiled two and half
minutes, others that two and three-quar-
ter minutes is the time necessary, and
many hold that three minutes must be
given. The thickness of the shell. the
amount of water in the vessel and the
number of eggs put into it all have to
be taken into account. In such close
calculation there must necessarily be a
slight variance IN the time given by diff
ferent authorities, but not enough to eff
feet the result when due care is bestow-
ed on the subject. The average cook,
however, pays little attention to time or
conditions, but tumbles the eggs to be
boiled, whether few or numerous, into a
quantity of hot or boiling water and lets
them boil until they are considered suffi-
GENTLY cooked. As consequence they
get boiled too much or not enough, and
in either case the result is the same
the eggs are ruined in the cooking.
The proper or improper cooking of an
egg may to many seem matter of very
small importance. But when we reflect
that at least thirty millions of eggs are
consumed in the United States every
day, and that as many as five millions of
them, aggregating a value Of $4,000,
are utterly spoiled in cooking, the man
ner of cooking an egg becomes a matter
of no insignificant Importance. The
methods of cooking an egg are as various
as the ways of cooking potatoes, and its
possibilities are so imitless that with a
little thought and attention dish can be
prepared from eggs in few moments
that can be made to do on almost any
occasion. Persuming that every one is
intimate with the traditional formula for
boiling and frying eggs, here is an excel
lent recipe for poached or dropped eggs:
Have enough water in the pan or kettle
to more than cover the eggs. To each
quart of water add gill of vinegar and
a teaspoonful of salt. When it boils SET

IT'S A GOOD THING.

IT'S good thing sometimes to be alone,
Sit calmly down and look self in the face,
Ransack the heart search every secret place,
Prayerf1l uproot the baneful seeds there soWn,
Pluck ont the weeds the full crop is grown.
Grid up the loins afrcsh to run the race,
Foster all noble thoughts, cast out the base,
Thrust forth the bad and make the good thine own
Who has this courage thus to look within,
Keep faithful watch and ward with in -er eyes,
The foe may harass, but can nl'er surprise,
Or over him ignoble conquest win.
o doubt it not if thou wouldst wear the crown,
Self baser self, must first be trampled down.
