The Golden Argosy. published by
Frank A. Munsey, at 81 Warren ST.,
New York, has just been enlarged to
sixteen page journal. 1t claims,
and we think justly, to be the most
fully and most beautifully illustrated
paper of its class in the world. Eight
pages are largely devoted to illustra-
tions, and these pictures cover va
lieIy and range of subjects that APP
peal 10 all tastes. The Argosy is fine
ly printed on handsome cream-tint-
ed paper, and its contributors include
the best known names of literature
for boys and girls.
The tone of its contents is healthy
and pure, and it aims to set high
ideal before the youth of the country.
The Golden Argosy enters its fifth
year with circulation Of one hun
dred thousand copies weekly, and it
therefore takes its'place in point of
circulation among the half dozen
Leading publications of this country.

4 New Sort of knavery.

The latest scheme for squeezing the
purse-proud Congressman is what is
known as the ''crayon racket" p" An
enterprising but impecunious young
artist is accredited with its discovery.
There are several Others who are work
ing it with him, and with astonishing
success. The ''crayOn racket is played
something after this style: The young
artist usually finds ont something about
his intended victim in advance. A vain
man is particularly susceptible. After
having discovered Congressman with
the necessary amount of vanity, and
this is by no means difficult matter,
he buys one of his photographs, which
are upon sale in the lobby. Then by
means of the ''solar print" process he
drawsin life-sized crayon, Ten dollars
is fair price for one of these pictures.
After the crayon has been completed he
has it framed and takes it to the capitol.
The member is invited to inspect it in
his committee room. The artist tells
him that his face Is such a strong one
and shows so much intelligence that he
drew it from sketches made in the gal
lery simply to show what he could do.
If the victim desires to purchase it he
will sell it frame and all for $50. In
nine times out of ten the combined in
fiuence of the fattery and the crayon
gets in its work and the artist makes a
very handsome profit upon his small III
veStment.

Making Girls Straight

The Hindoo girls are gracefully and
exquisltely formed. From their earli-
est childhood they are accustomed to
ca1Iy burdens on their heads. The
water for family use is always brought
by this way. The exercise is to
strengthen the muscles of the back,
while the chest is thrown forward. No
crooked backs are seen in HindOOstan,
DR.. III. Spray says this exercise of car
rying small vessels of water on the head
might be advantageously introduced
into boarding-schools, and private fami-
lies, and that it might entirely super
sede the present machinery of dumb
bells, black-boaris, skipping ropes, etc.
The young ladies ought to be taught to
carry the jar as the Hindoo women do,
without ever touching it with their
hands. The same practice of carrying
water leads precisely to the same result
IN the South of Italy as in India. y ne
apolitan female peasant will carry on
her head vessel full of water to the
brim over rough road and not spill a
drop of it, and the acquisition Of this
acts or knock gives her the same elastic
gait.

the city the morning after her loss, and
it was not until her return that she
proved property and got it back. She
wrote us two letters about it, but it
never occurred to her to refer to the lit
tie break until she came into the office. y
"What do you do with the property
that remains unclaimed?"
Every two or three years we have a
sale. When we get too much of the
lumber to keep conveniently, we sell off
the oldest articles. Oh, no; there isn't
much realized on it, and what the COM
pany does get doesn't pay for the neces-
sary clerk hire. Knive, handerchiefs,
pipes, carpenters tools and, in fact,
nearly everything you can imagine are
put up at this sale Secondhand deal
ers, street hawkers and the men who
have stands on the street corners are the
principal purchasers. If you lose any
thing in an elevated train never think
it is gone forever until you call upon U.S.
Wen keep it for you if it comes into our
hands, even if it is only bone collar
button"

Eastern Palestine.

Captain Conder reports IN Eastern
Palestine q great number of menhirS,
dolmens, cairns, and circles of large
stones, like those of Great Britain. Brit
tany, Arabia, and the Himalayas. He
found 500 in the small area which he
was able to survey before his work was
stopped by orders from Constantinople.
His conclusions are different from those
of Ferguson, who has had the latest say
in regard to rude stone monuments
''The conclusions suggested in the pre-
ceding chapter, after a consideration of
monuments other than those of Syria,
seem thus to be confirmed by what we
learn from the monuments OF the Holy
Land. The menhir is the emblem Of an
ancient deity, the circle is sacred in
closure without which the Arab still
stands with his face to the rising sun.
The dolmen, whether modern or prehis-
toric, is (when free standing) an altar
rather than a tomb. The cairn is not
always sepulchral, being sometimes a
memorial heap"

The Struggles of Famous Woman.

Clara Morris mother was a cook in a
restaurant in Cleveland when Clara was
a lanky girl of fifteen years of age
Manager John Ellsler advertised fol
some extra girls for the ballet in pan
tOmine, he WAS getting up. Clara aTe
Piled for 4 place in the extra ballet
She Wore an old. faded calico dress
much too short for her long legs, 4 thin
shawl and a ragged wooden scarf wrap
ped around her head. When the extra
girls were no longer required Clara was
retained for small parts. That WAS the
beginning of the great emotional act
reSs, Clara Morris, who, by the way, is
OF English, not of American, birth.
The sweet poetess Lucy Larc0m was
a mill hand.
Pretty Maud Granger, with her gold
brown eyes and shanely form. first earn
ed her livelihood by running a sewing
machine.
Sarah Bernhardt was dreSSmaker's
apprentice; so was Matilda Heron.
Adelaide Nelson began life as a
child's nurse, and Lady Hamilton as a
hOuse-maid.
Miss Braddon, the well-knOwn novel
ist, was utility actress in the English
provinces, performing principally in
pantomime.
Christine Nilsson was poor Swedish
peasant, and ran barefoot in childhood.
Jenny Lind, also Il Swede, was the
daughter of a principal of young ladies'
boarding school, and beyond rather mar
row circumstances had no especial diff
cuties in order to gain celebrity.
The French actress Rachel had us
hard a childhood as ever fell to the lot
of g,niuS. Ragged, barefoot and hum
gry, she played the tambourine in the
streets and sing and begged for dole.
Naturally she was Illiterate and vulgar,
but Overcame both these drawbacks at
the same time that she gradually acqui-
red renown.
Charlotte CUshman was the daughter
of poor people, who, however. gave heE
an eXcellant education in the public
schools. In order to maintain herself
she aspired to become an opera singer,
but accidentally losing her voice, be-
came an actress instead.
Adelaide Phillips, the singer, now
dead, was Treasury girl, and 50 for
time was Sara Jewett, the actress.
