SHE MADE FORTUNES FOR Two
Mr.. Bell, the telephone man. is worth
81, 600, 900, and he has the most ele
CANT residence in Washington. A
man told me to-day that his wife is
very beautiful, and that she is deaf
and dumb. Bell became infatuated
with her beauty and married her. In
experimenting on an audiphone, that
she might be able to hear, he discov-
cred the principle Of the telephone.
In this way his wife indirectly made
his fortune. Her husbands fortune is
not the only one Mrs. Bell has made.
Andrews, the portrait painter of
Washington. owes his start to his pic.
ture of her face. Before this he had
been unknown. He came here from
Cincinnati, and had but little to do.
Mrs. Bell gave him sitting and he
had the luck to catch one Of her most
beautiful expressions. The picture
was shown at Corcoran's gallery, and
crowds went to see it. After this the
unknown artist was unknown no long.
er. Orders poured in, and he has
now made enough to build him a fine
house, and he is the portrait painter
of the capital.

Carlsbad IL an Austrian town Of
twelve thousand inhabitants and nine
hundred dwelling-houses, situated in
the north western corner Of Bohemia,
aud near the frontier. II is a thriv-
ing manufacturing place; but a main
source Of its prosperity is naturally
the mineral waters. More than TWEEN.
ty thousand guests came last year
Qss2) TO try their virtues. The
stream Of visitors has been flowing
during centuries Of summers to Carls
bad-ever since the thirteenth centu
~ at least. Later thaa this the
springs received their present name
from Charles Nv, Emperor Of Austria
and King Of Bohemia. The local
legend is that he discovered them in
the year 1868 while on a hunting ex
cursion. A dog, too eagerly pursu
ing a deer, fell into one Of the the hot
springs; his yelping brought the En-
peror fnt upon the spot, where the
thermsl water, wreathed with clouds
Of vapor pulsed out Of the cleft OF the
rock. The huntsmen, rushing in af.
ter their leader, named the place
Charles's Bath, and Carlsbad it has
been called to the present day. The
story is pretty one, and may be sub
stantially true; but as TO the discovery
Of the springs, they were well known
long before the time Of the imperial
hunter. Their site is indicated upon
a Bohemian map Of the previous cen
fury under the name Of Wary, or
swarm BATH while the stream upon
which Carlsbad town is built has a
name much older than this. Its
meaning settles the question Of the
antiquity Of the springs. The "repel
means 1.-THE tepid stream" the words
etymology being the same in English
and in Slavic. But the Emperor
Charles, il he did not discover the
place, at least gave it its vogue; he
frequented Carlsbad, and built a pal.
ace there in 1858. Ever since that
time il has been known as the most
efficacious OF the many springs in
German speaking countries. - Titus
