Minnie Hauk's father was a German
and a shoemaker, in the most straitened
circumstances. Her voice early at
tracted the attention of one Of New
York's richest men, who had it culti-
waited, and thus opened the way to fame
for her.
We have had two great female astron-
omers, Miss Herschel and Miss Mitchell.
Both were single women and both took
up the study of astronomy in order to
assist their brothers. Miss Herschel's
pathway to fame was over q smooth
road, but Miss MarisA1itcheil had every
thing to battle with. She was the daugh-
ter Of a small farmeri in Nantucket, who
was obliged to exc out his income by
teaching school at So a week. Maria
was constantly occupied with household
duties, and she describes her childhood
as ..being an endless washing of dishes. IS

A KANSAS LEGEND.
A Truthful Native of the Great Cyclone
State Describes the Country.

A Truthful Native of the Great Cyclone
State Describes the Country.
"There is no doubt" said the truth
full man from Kansas, ''that Missouri is
a great country, but it will not compare
for a moment with Kansas.
.'Think of the Kansas pumpkins!
Gentlemen, when l was on a farm in
that glorious country I once lost three
valuable cows. For three weeks I
searched for them in vain and was re-
turning home in disgust when 1 sudden
ly heard the tinkle of a COW bell.
Investigation showed that the COWS
were inside of a pumpkin, eating calmly
and enjoying their commodious quar-
tiers. How did they get in, you say?
Well, the pumpkin vines grew rapidly
there, and dragged the pumpkin over
the rough ground until a hole was worn
in the side, through which the COWS en-
tered. l afterwards had it cured and
used it for a wagon shed.
sis it a good country for corn, you
ask? Stranger, you'll never know
what a corn country is until you go to
Kansas.
"When theh usking is done in the fall
the men go out with mallets and
wedges and split up the corn stalks for
shipment to the East as telegraph poles
OF saw them off in lengths to be used as
car wheels.
"Whcn the men are husking they
carry along step-ladders, which they
place near the corn stalk. Two men
then climb up and cut off the ear with a
cross cut saw, letting them fall to the
ground. -Four horses arc then hitched
to each ear, and it is dragged to the
crib. ....
'.Big farms there? I should say so.
Why, when l started one spring to
pillow a furrow the entire length of the
farm, 1 had a boy follow me to plant
the corn; and when 1 got to the end of
the furrow and started for home, I
found that the corn the boy had planted
was ripe, SO | just husked my way
home and got there just in time to spend
New Years.''-St. Louis Whip.

Wounded Feelings.

Wounded Feelings.
A man was driving across the coun-
try in Dakota when he came to a house
with a man hobbling around the yard on
a crutch. A fine-looking horse was tied
to a post near by, and the traveller
stopped and said:
sis that horse for sale?"
'Well, now, | tell you Jest how tits
bout that air boss; you see it's the one
my wife drives and 1 don't know as
she'd want ter part with it. It's a very
gentle boss, very gentle"
"That's what | want, q horse that is

"That jest hits that boss precisely,
pardner, no easier boss to handle in the
county,"
"Never kicks, I SUPPOSED"
''Never knew him ter histe his foot
'ccpt ter walk"
"What is it worth?"
"That's jest it-don't b'lieve l can
sell him-my wife would miss him so.
Tell you what I'll do, though; you give
me one hundred and seventy-tive dollars
fer that boss and I'll try and break in
n of the colts fer her to drive. Don't
b'lieye l a ever get 'em as gentle as
he is but seein' you want him I'll let

"Well, I'll take it. What makes you

TAKING OFF HIDES.
How to Do 1t Without Injuring the Value
of the Hide or Skin.

How to Do 1t Without Injuring the Value
of the Hide or Skin.
In taking off a hide or calf-skin,
never cut the throat crosswise in the
least. Slit the skin from the brisket to
the tail, and from the brisket to the jaw;
then cut around each leg to the hoof.
Slit the hind leg from the hoof up di-
rectly over the gambrel, and the for
ward legs in the front, directly over the
knee, to the top of the brisket bone.
This leaves the hide OF skin then in the
proper shape for finishing.
Skin the head and legs carefully to
avoid cutting them; then, commencing
at the head, draw or fist off the skin
without any further use of the knife,
thereby avoiding the holes and cuts that
almost spoil so many calf-skins. Some
farmers use a windlass to draw off the
dairy skins, and others use a horse; but
one OF two men can do it a great deal
more quickly and easily.
When taken off, lay the hide or skin
fiat on the floor in a cool place, where
the sun can not shine upon it, and cover
it with salt-rather fine salt being better
than too coarse salt. Do not roll it up,
but let it remain in the salt until you
take off another; then place that one
upon the other, sailing freely as before.
and so on until you get enough to make
quite a pile; then commence another
pile in the same manner. Do not be
afraid to use salt freely; what the skins
do not require will shake off, and can be
used again.
If you prefer to dry out your skins
before selling them, be sure that they
are thoroughly cured with salt before
drying them, and then that they are
thoroughly dried before being baled up
for shipment.
Never dry out a skin without having
it sailed as described to oppressive it from
moths and other injuries on the hair
side, which are liable to occur if the
skins are not properly sailed before be-
ing dried out.
If your skins remain on hand very
long after being dried out before dc,
livery to the tanner, even if sailed,
watch them carefully to detect any in
dications of moths OF worms on the
hair side, and if any are discovered,
have the skins vigorously whipped with
stick so often that they shall be wholly
eradicated from the entire lot of skins,
as they often work serious injury in a
very short time.-CAicago Shoe and
Leather RerasW.

SOME NOTED WOMEN
The Difficulties and Disadvantages Under
Which They Began Life.

| The Difficulties and Disadvantages Under
Which They Began Life.
Clara Morris. mother, writes Celia
Logan, was a cook in a restaurant in
Cleveland when Clara was a lanky girl
Of fifteen years of age. Manager John
Ellsler advertised for some extra girls
for the ballet in a pantomime he was
getting up. Clara applied for a place
in the extra ballet. She wore an old,
faded calico dress, much too short, a
thin shawl and a ragged wooden scarf
wrapped around her head. When the
extra girls were no longer required
Clara was retained for small parts.
That was the beginning of the career of
the great emotional actress, Clara Nor
ris, who, by the way, is of English, not
American birth.
Pretty Maud Granger, with the gold
brown eyes and shapely form, first
earned her livelihood by running a sew
ing-machine. Sarah Bernhardt was a
~dressmaker's apprentice; SO was Matilda
Heron. Adelaide Nelson began life as
a child's nurse, and Lady Hamilton as
a housemaid. Miss Braddon, the we'll
known novelist, was a utility actress in
the English provinces, performing prin-
cipally in pantomime.
Christine Nilsson was a poor Swedish
peasant, and ran barefoot in childhood.
Jenny Lind, also a Swede, was the
daughter of q principal of a young Ia
dies boarding school, and beyond rath-
er narrow circumstances had no espe-
cial difficulties in order to gain celeb
rity.
The mother of Clara Louise Kellogg
strained every nerve to give Clara a mu-
steal education, and at II time was a
professional spiritual medium. Miss KEEL
1oggfailed three times. Each time she re-
tired, not discouraged, but to devote
herself to the still further development
of her voice. Finally she took the pub
lie by storm. Her first failures were
her last. f
Mrs. Langtry is the daughter of a
country parson of small means, but the
old proverb of her face being her fortune
proved true in her case. Nevertheless,
the standing Mrs Langtry has acquired
upon the boards entities her to rank
among the self-made woman of the day.

while since he had a fell0w-countryma

While on board the boat returning home
they had plentiful supply of native wine
