The American Beauty.

A New York letter to the Cincinnati
Enquirer, gives us the following bit of
sensation: 1 was walking up Broadway
the other day, when I met professional
lady of unquestionable beauty. In fact,
it was this endowment that caused me to
turn and follow her with my eyes until
she had passed out of sight 1t was
Dora Goldthwaite, concerning whom
there is a bit of unwritten history that
may prove as interesting to the public
as it did to me when learned the cir
cumstances from most authentic sources.
1t was early in the first Langtry season
in this country, when the papers were
full of descriptions of the beauty, that
certain well-known New York manager
made Miss Goldthwaite proposition of
a starring tour, his object being to place
her in opposition to Langtry, and bill
her as " Our own Beauty" This object
was concealed from Miss Goldthwaite,
however, and articles of agreement were
drawn up and signed. By arrangements
made by the manager, Miss Goldthwaite
passed the greater part of several days
in Sarony's studio, and the best skill of
that celebrated artist was brought to
bear in making her rare beauty shine
forth on cardboard and canvas in most
becoming dress and attitude. At length
the visionary manager thought matters
had progressed sufficiently to warrant
him in approaching his star on the sub
ject of his brilliant plan, and when the
real object of the tour was made known
to the beauty, her soul recoiled at the
idea, and she demanded an immediate
cancellation of the contract. Thus what
certainly would have proved a serious
matter for the +" jersey Lilly" was
avoided by the modesty of the "Ameri-
can Beauty"

HUNTING FOR ELDER DOWN.
1t Ia Picked from the Nests of the Birds
in the Sea Coast Rock Clefts.

A letter from Iceland says: The men
who get the down leave home early in
the morning, and visit the places to
which the elder duck resorts, and each
man hunts for the nests. The nests are
built in clefts of the rock, sometimes
near the sea, and slippery from the
spray, and sometimes very high up,
where a false step would be death to
the unfortunate man falling down on
the jagged rocks below.
The down is plucked from the breasts
of the duck by the bird itself, and is
used to line the nests for the comfort of
the young ones. The hunter robs the
bird of all the lining it has provided for
the nest, putting it in bag that he car
ries along for the purpose, and then
goes on and repeats the performance at
some other nest. Everything must be
done very quietly, for loud noise fright
ems the birds, and if frightened away
once, they will not build there again.
There is law enforced that forbids the
discharge of firearms within hearing of
the breeding places, and stranger
would ~rr,..ssslly- be mobbed if he dis
obeyed it.
first is the best, for the duck uses an
abundance of her choicest down in max
ing the lining of her first nest. A short
time after the first is gathered the hunt
ers go over the same ground again and
rob the nests of the second lining,
which consists of all the down the poor
duck could rob herself of for her young.
This proceeding seems to call out the
last energies of the birds, for they then
make nest, and the drake lines it with
his breast feathers. In this nest the
young are Matched. The hunters sell
dom disturb it, for the probabilities are
that that pair would go away and never
return.
After the down has been gathered, it
is taken into large room in the farmers
house, and each nest, for the lining re-
tains the shape of nest, is placed on
top of primitive arrangement that
looks like harp laid fiat, with strings
is then rubbed over the strings, and the
ichen, moss, sticks, chips, and other
parts of the framework of the nest that
are mixed with the down fall through
to the floor, while the down remains in
the operators hands The down is then
packed and brought to market, and
from Iceland shipped to all parts of the
world. The color of the down is sur
prise to many, for, instead of its being
white, as some people imagine, it is a
blue slate color, glossy, and very pretty.
An immense amount of it can be crushed
into handful, but it will resume its
natural form when released.
The down taken from dead birds is
not so good as that from the nests. 1t
is not SO light or SO much like floss silk
to the touch Iceland furnishes about
1000 pounds of the down every year
that is of superior quality.

Heroic Alice Ayres.

In the roll of noble women who have
sacrificed themselves to save the lives of
others, no name should stand higher
than that of the young servant girl Alice
Ayres, who recently imperilled and I'M
happily lost her own life in the successful
effort to rescue the children of the family
in which she resided from death by fire.
On appearing at the upper window of
the burning house, the lower part of
which was on fire, she was called on to
make the hazardous attempt to save her
own life by leaping to the ground. But
with presence of mind worthy of adj
miration, and an amount of noble cour-
age above all praise, she had determined
to make the attempt to rescue the chill
dren of her mistress. To throw them
on to the pavement from the hight at
which she was placed, would have been
fatal; so returning into the room, she
dragged bed to the window, and with
difficulty forced it through.
Having thus provided the means of
breaking their fall, she went back for
the children, one after the other, and
threw them out on the soft bed below.
Before she had rescued the third, she
was herself nearly suffocated by smoke
and flame, and the child was so much
burned that it has since died in the hos
pital. 1t was not until she had rescued
all the children that this noble girl
thought of her own life. Exhausted by
the efforts she had made, blinded by the
smoke and fire, she leaped from the win
dow, but unhappily missed the means of
safety she had provided for others, and
falling on the hard pavement, injured
her spine to so great an extent that from
the first hour of her admission into Guys
Hospital her case was deemed hopeless,
and she died recently.-LOndon queen.

WHAT A KISS DID.
A Poor Student Wins "A Bride.

In the University of Upsala, in Sweden,
lived a young student, a lonely youth,
with great love for studies, but with
out means for pursuing them. He was
poor and without connections. Still he
studied, lived in great poverty, but
keeping up cheerful heart and trying
not to look at the future, which looked
30 grim at him. His good humor and
good qualities made him beloved by his
young companions.
Once he was standing with some of
them in the great square of Upsala, Will
ing away an hour of leisure, when the
attention of the young man was arrested
by a very young, elegant lady, who, at
the side of an elderly one, walked slowly
over the plaza. 1t was the daughter of
the Governor of Upsala, living in the
city, and the lady with her was her gov
erness. She was generally known for
her goodness and gentleness of charac-
ter, and was looked upon with admira-
ton by the students. As the young men
now stood gazing at her, as she passed
on like graceful vision, one of them
exclaimed:
''Well, it would be worth something
to have kiss from such mouth"
The poor student, the hero of our
story, who was looking intently on that
pure, angelic face, exclaimed, as if by
inspiration:
"Well, l think I could have it"
FWhatl" cried his friends in chorus,
care you crazy9 Do you know herr"
'sNot at ALL" he answered; ''but I
think she would kiss me now if 1 asked
her,"
"What, in this place, before all our
eyes2"
'In this place, before your eyes"
"Freely?'
"Freely"
''Well, if she will give you kiss in
In that manner, 1 will give you 81, 000p
exclaimed one of the party.
"And Ir' ''And II" cried three or
four others; for it so happened that sew
eral rich young men were in the group.
Bets ran high on so improbable an event,
and the challenge was made and re-
ceived in less time than we take to relate
1t.
Our hero Immediately walked off to
the young lady and said:
''Mein fraulien, my fortune is in your
hands,"
She looked at him in establishment,
but arrested her steps. He proceeded to
state his name, condition, and aspira-
tions, and related simply and truly what
passed between him and his companions.
The young lady listened attentively,
and when he ceased to speak she said,
blushingly, but with great sweetness:
eff by so little thing so much can be
effected, it would be foolish of me to re-
fuse your request" and she kissed the
young man publicly in the open square.
Next day he was sent for by the gov
ernor. He wanted to see the man who
had dared to seek kiss from his daugh-
ter in that way, and whom she had con-
sented so to kiss. He received him with
a scrutinizing brow, but, after an hours
conversation, was so pleased with him
that he invited him to dine at his table
during his studies at Upsala.
Our young friend now pursued his
studies in manner which soon made
him regarded as the most promising
scholar in the university. Three years
were not passed after that day of the
first kiss when the young man was al
lowed to give a second one to the
daughter of the governor as his intended
bride.

Almost a Romance.

Ben. Perley Poore, in his reminiscent
ces, says: Bertha Gerolt, daughter of
the Prussian Minister to the United
States, who entered the Monastery of
the Visitation, in 1874, was of Cath
Ole family, although her father repre-
scented Protestant kingdom. She was
of a refined nature, much sweetness and
sensibility, and probably felt for her
father, who was growing old, was quite
poor, and, in. the movement of Count
Bismarck against the Catholic Church,
stood in danger of losing his Legation.
About that time there lived with Baron
Gerolt an attache, a young man belong
ing to one of the noblest and oldest
Protestant houses of Brandenburg, peo-
pie as proud of their religious consis-
tency as of their rank He grew en-
amoured of our Miss Gerolt, and the al
lance would have been proper and ac-
ceptable in every way but for the mat
ter of religion.
The attaches mother, in Prussia, re-
PEELED the idea of the Catholic connec-
ton, while the ecclesiastics in America,
seeing an apparent opportunity to do
some proselytizing around the Prussian
Court, operated upon Miss Gerolt's mind.
After the parents on both sides were toll
erably agreed the religious issue was
kept up. and the question of children
had to be settled in advance, until the
young mans patience was worn out, and
he broke the engagement. The Church,
was entitled to the bride; and about
this time some controversy arose be-
tween our Government and the State au-
thorities at Berlin, which ended in the
recall of the old Minister, the only one,
although Catholic, to adhere with en-
thusiasm to the cause of the Federal
Government during the dark days of the
rebellion. Bertha Gerolt disappeared,
as did before her, and within the same
walls, daughter of the Emperor Itur-
bide and daughter of Gen. Winfield
Scott.

For the Ladies.

Stripes are the favorite design for
lawn, bingham, and zephyr dresses this
season, says Hdrper's Bazar. They are
worn in the merest pencilled line on
white, or in series of lines of different
widths, or in alternating stripes half an
inch wide of two shades of color, or else
in holder wide stripes of blue, brown, or
red on white Skirts are given variety
by arranging the stripes in odd ways;
thus the apron stripes are crosswise,
while the back drapery has lengthwise
stripes. The lower skirt which is seen
only in the front and on the sides, is
pleated in crosswise stripes for tall slen-
der figures, and in lengthwise stripes for
those that are short and stout. The
gathered belted waist and the sleeves
have the stripes taken lengthwise. Very
little lace is put on such dresses as it
washes badly, collar, belt and cuffs be-
ing used instead.
The milkmaid overskirt is becoming
popular as the house=maid lower skirt.
This overskirt is pretty for dresses of two
materials, one striped and the other plain.
The overskirt is turned upward ON the
left to the belt, and this is covered with
a striped part, while the remainder on
the right side is in plain goods. In
other dresses the stripes are used alone
for the basque, while the skirts are of
plain fabric, unrelieved by trimming; in
still others this is reversed, the stripes
forming the skirt and drapery for a
basque of plain goods.

How to Cook Spinach.

Spinach cooked plain appears to be
generally preferred at English tables,
and being well washed and put in col
endar to drain, the rest of the business is
simple enough. Coarse stalks and stems
and half-dead leaves should be removed
as it is picked over before washing.
Spinach that is a little seedy will cook
well if care is taken to pull off the leaves
separately with the tender tops and
throw away the hollow stem, or greater
part of it. Some people cook it without
water, but the result is a strong favored
dish. A smallish allowance of boiling
water with liberia, allowance of salt and
very small quantity of soda, is prefer
able, say, for peck of spinach, piece
of soda not larger than bean or pea. If
you have rainwater at command, you
should not use soda at all, for the alkali
and much of it will destroy the goodness
pot, and put the lid on and make it boil
quickly. Press it down, and turn it over
two or three times, and keep it boiling
fast for fully ten minutes, and then take
out little on fork and see if it
is done. If the stalks are tender and
leaves of rich deep green, it may be
considered done. Turn it into colan-
der and set this aside to drain. This is
somewhat slow business, but you must
not press it until much of the water has
run away naturally. When pretty well
drained press gently SO as to make it
sufficiently dry that no water will drain
from If in the dish The vegetable dish
should be quite hot; turn the spinach
into it, and at once rub in a lump of but
ter, dust lightly with white pepper, and
then cut it across with a knife, put on
cover, and put it on the hot plate or in
the oven until wanted. 1t may be cooked
quarter of an hour in advance without
any harm. 1t should be served as hot as
possible, and be of rich deep green
color and delightfully."- fragrant.
