Sarah Bernhardt, spendthrift.

From Lucy Harpers Letter.
/ really think that this, wonderful
woman has q screw loose somewhere in
her mental organization. She is not
mad, nor v cracked, but she.is what
the French call '1toquee, "a convenient
word for which the English language
affords no equivalent. Herrecklessness
in money matters is something phenom-
email. When she was about to start for
America, she wrote to q brilliant French
author:
aAll my expenses and those of my
maid, including carriage hire, are to be
paid by the manager. Do you think /
can get along with $4,000 per month as
pocket money!" Her friend wrote back
in answer: Since you ask me the ques-
tion, / do not think that you cam She
will give her steward 800 at q time:
Two days later he will come to her for
money. aWhy, did ] not give you
some the other day." she will say,
vaguely. tsAll gone, is it." Her cook
never knows how many people are to
be present at breakfast or at dinner, for
Sarah thinks nothing Of inviting in an
extra dozen or SO Of guests. She
viii put on a pair OF new boots, go out
to walk, get caught in a shower, and
toss her desecrated bottines as a present
to her maid as soon as she pulls them
off. She never pays a bill without le-
gal pressure, is lavishly generousto her
servants and to the poor. has no idea of
order or p~unetuality, and is as, eccen-
trio in private life rs she is great upon
the stage. She has made and souan-
dered three fortunes, is always dying and
never dies, is as fragile as q reed, vet
tires out the strongest men in her troupe
when she goes upon a profe ssional tour.
This latter peculiarly is owing to her
exceptional power of sleeping whenever
she chooses. She always. travels
in q sleeping car, and, once ~ensconced
therein, she will draw down the blinds;
and betake herself toslumber. Arrived
at her destination, she will walk upon
the stage GA which she has never set her
foot before, and the excite and entrances
of which are totally unknown to her,
and will go through her part with as
much spirit aud brilliancy as though
she had acted there for half her life.
All her friends adore her and she is the
idol Of every dog or cat belonging to
the theaters of France. In many res-
poets "a most sweet woman" and for
the rest, 80 the pity ofit--the pity of
it, lagoym

LILIIAM,

A sweet, domestic beauty-ah household grace
Lives in her every motion, round her lies
An atmosphere OF peace; and from her ewes
Beams an angelic nature. In her face
me impress Of fair sympathy VIC trace,
The paths of folly; fond affction's ties
Bind her to home-to her bestowed place.
Her voice is soft as the west wind that signs
On summer evenings; anger or disdaia
plies
Her checks with roses; white. withont a stain
Her soul is, which lily ~typiies.
AN, happy he who her pure love shall gain!

The Boyd Bros, five miles south Of
Menokcn, have 5Ohcad OF sheep, mostly
merlnos. These gentlemen CANT from
Ohio, the great wool State, two years ago,
and they state that sheep husbandry will
DO fully as profitable in this region as in
Ohio. Their flock has wintered well both
winters, the percentage Of loss being less
than In Ohio because Of the dryness OF
tho atmosphere. Comfortable sheds have
been provided, and Mr.. Boyd says he fed
his sheep n less number Of days in this
country during winter than in Ohio. In
that State, feeding usually begins about
the middle Of November, while no be-
gan the 10Th OF December and quit the
2Gtli of March. Tho sheep gained rapidly
from the time they began feeding in the
spring, which is not always tho case East.
Boyd's sheep sheared or IN average nine
pounds Of wool to the head, which Melted
sixteen cents per pound. The percentage
OF increase is also above thnt in the East,
which is seldom over soventy-five percent.
Boyd had l47 lambs from liz yves. Ger

1t will probably seem somewhat strange
to many people for M OF the greatest

California, especially when that land Is
situated in the Mojave Desert. But the
great and ever.increasing business OF tho
London Telegraph has rendered i, ncces.
sary for 1t TO savcull that is possible in tho
cost Of tho paper used, and it has como
nearly half way round tho world to find
material for paper making. The Telegraph
will In future manufacture its own paper,
OF which It uses from 100 to 200 miles in
length each day. The saving in the n
uiacture Of such an amount will, rs Is ap-
parent, DO very great. In order to obtain
material for paper stock us cheaply rs pos.
sible, the great london daily bas bought
n very large tract Of railroad land in the
Mojave. Desert, md will uso the yucca
plant, or Spanish bayonet," instead Of
tho customary wood pulp MS tho base Of
the paper. Tho Telegraph has purchased
the land outright, and will ship the
hitherto dcspised yucca to some point on
the Colorado river where It will be ground
into pulp. This pulp will then BIO ship
ped by rail to New Orleans, and thence by
sea TO Liverpool.

It is not considered in good form to tuck

but it is not 4 good one. Fashion assumes
that every III will be able to eat his
soup and his salids without allowing any
stray part thereof to come in contact with
his clothing. Every man knows that the
polite assumption is strained. At n for
