all clever, and all enjoy thoroughly the errattc,
impdlsive, reckless life Of work and glory. In

moments Of popular applause. Such a family

That was their magic secret Bills, Of course,

An Actress Transformed Into Mar
BILE Statue.

1t may interest you to read about the
wonderful new costume which Mary
Anderson brought out q few nights ago
as "Galatea." Talk of high art in stage
dressing, nothing that way could exceed
the article in question. 1t was designed
by Frank Millet, and we are, 1 suppose,
to expect something remarkable when a
man turns costumer. Miss Anderson and
others who have appeared as statue
turned to life have managed to be at
least white like marble, but never before
has cloth been made to look so stony.
Mr.. Millet gets all the praise, and that is
not right, for every woman knows that it
is far easier to design the costume which
turns Mary into statuary than to
realize it in cloth. An exquisite Greek
tunic falls over her tall, slender figure
in perfection of graceful drapery, and
kind of heaviness suggestive of marble.
This curious effect is produced by
weighing the fabric with metal at
various points, by stirring and stay
ing in at just the right points,
and by fastening certain portions
to her body with concealed bands. Not
only was she statue when she posed as
marble on the pedestal, but when moving
about the stage every attitude was per-
fectly statuesque. The costume seemed
capable of being thrown out of artistic
and beautiful lines. Her face, neck, and
arms were whitened; her wig was quite
Ike cut stone, and her feet were in
stockings that fitted each separate toe. If
she wore anything at all under this drap-
cry it was not enough to conceal any
movement of her limbs.

onis states by Russia have been made for
the Princes of Bulgaria and Montenegro
and the King of Servia. The massive
gold and silver plates for the presenta-
ton of the Slavonic bread and salt have
been made by hundreds for the zemst-
vos, municipalities, and other local
bodies. May of these bodies, although
over head and ears in debt, owing to
agricultural and commercial distress,
have yet voted hundreds of thousands of
rub1es in this way to swell the magnifi
cence of the approaching ceremony.
Several triumpbal arches are to be con-
structed for the imperial entry, at one of
which is to be an orchestra of 1000
musicians and 5000 choristers. 1t is
proposed to ask Rubinstein to write a
march for the occasion, and to direct the
orchestra in person. A list of the i'm
perial and royal personages to be asked
to the ceremony is given in one of the
daily journals. 1t includes nearly all
the crowned heads of Europe and Asia.
Two high officials, it is said, will shortly
be dispatched, enc to Europe and the
other to Asia, to deliver the invitations.

A Romantic Flood Incident.

A case of presence of mind and torti-
tude in young girl deserves mention.
It occurred on that terrible night when
the food-gates were opened and the
water rushed irresistibly across the
Point. Mr.. Wilkes, with foolhardiness
unparalleled, tried to creep along the top
of fence, thinking he saw a large raft
with which he could save his own fam
ily, with also the Steers, Mintons. Ed
wards and others. As soon as his luck
less hand had touched the fence it fell
with a loud crash, and he went spinning
away to he west, where q cherry tree
stopped his headlong passage TO the Ohio.
By the side of the tree ran fence, from
east to west, on top of which he crawled
to the back part of his house. But there
he found the water eight feet above the
fence. Then occurred an action I'M
known, even in novels. His Oldest
daughter, Ida, herself hardly older than
child, failing to find a rope. braced
herself firmly against window, leaned
herself far ont over the foaming waters
and threw down her long golden hair for
him to pull up by. But he refused to
risk his fair daughters life, and by
means of friendly nail, and that to-
gether, got safely in, and Miss Idas hair
aud head are still on and in good condi-
tion.-Louisville Commercial.

VINEGAR FOR THE SICK ROoM.-There
is a French legend that during the
plague in Marseilles a band of robbers
plundered the dead and dying without
injury to themselves. They were i'm
prisoned, tried and condemned to die,
but were pardoned on condition Of dis
closing the secret whereby they could
rams ick houses infected with the terrible
scourge. They gave the following recipe.
which makes delicious and refreshing
wash for the sick room: Take of rose
mary, NORWOOD, lavender, rue, sage
and mint, a large handful of each. Place
in stone Jar and then turn over it one
gallon of strong, clear vinegar; cover
closely and keep near the fire for four
DAYS, then strain and add one ounce Of
powdered camphor gum. Bottle and
keep tightly corked. 1t is very arc
matte, cooling and refreshing to the sick
room, and of great value to nurses.

Among the various preparations for

buildings of the recent exhibition at
Moscow, eighty-dve circular counters

Iron at $l5 a Ton.

From to St. Louis Republican,
To increase the consumption of an
article it must be cheapened to the
consumer. If the price Is high con-
sumers content themselves with small
quantity of it, and thus the consump-
| ton is diminished. Whenever neces-
sary yoflife-sugar, tor rexample-is high.
people use it tsparingly; when it is cheap
they use it literally, and even lavishly.
These are axioms of political economy
and rules of everyday life. When,
therefore, our laws add an artifici al
duty to an article for the purpose of in
creasing the price to the consumer they
virtually discourage the consumption
it. The production is stimulated for
a time, but when the reaction comes
the manufacturers find that they have
stacked up an overcrop of the article
which nobody wants.
"Twelve years ago." says the Phila-
delphia Record, "the shores of the
great Northern lakes were dotted with
huge mills that turned out immense
quantities of iron and it sold at Si5 to
SO u ton." But these prices could not
last. They were excessive. While
they prevailed the manufacturers made
fortunes. But the country could not
consume much iron at $45 to So a ton.
1t grew tired of paying the price, and
began to reduce it's consumption. Of
course, the psice dropped-down, down,
down, till 1t is now only $50 a ton.
Ironmongers say they cannot afford to
make il at this rate, and so they are
closing up their foundries and mills.
But there are places in the country
where iron can be made profitably at
so ton, and even lower. 1t can be
made at Chattanooga and on the Cum
berland river at $16 to SIS II ton; aud
Mr.. Miller, President of the Eureka
Iron and Coal Company at Birm-
ingham, Alabama, asserts that it can
be made there for $40 ton. This
leads the Record to say that "if Chica-
go and Cleveland desire to retain their
iron manufacturing interests they will
surely be compelled to secure protec-
tive tariff against Alabama iron." In
deed, it would seem that the proper
iron making region in this country is
the South, not the North. 1t is vio-
la ton of human rights and of the laws
of trade to force the country to pay $40
a ton for an article that can be made
for $15. The country will not submit
to it. The laws of trade and labor will
not submit to 1t. Sooner or iron-mak
ing will forsake Pennsylvania and
Ohio and seek a home III Tennessee
and Alabama.
