The answer to the question, ''Where
do weeds come from P' is, many SQUIRE
es. They come from seeds in the soil,
from seeds in manure, from seeds ear
ried by the wind and birds, from the
wash of melted rain and snow, from
seeds carried on our clothing and in the
hair of domestic animals. Most of our
weeds are said to have been imported.
Perhaps some of them will yet be util-

MAKING BROWNIES TO SELL.
The Novel Industry Started by Clever New
York Woman.

The Novel Industry Started by a Clever New
York Woman.
New York World
Of all curious and ingenious ways of
making living that of the New York
woman who invented the ordinary brownie
of commerce" takes the lead. Every knows
and loves Palmer Cox's brownies, who first
appeared in st. Nicholas, and later in book
form showed what pranks they were equal
to. At first they were only the old
fashioned little elves, with their skin-tight
garments and peaked caps, such as all
children were familiar with, but as the
series went on there appeared in the crowd,
first, dude brownie, then an Irish elf,
Scotch one, Chinese; old and young ones,
brownie policemen, and one who wore a
crown. The children all over the country
grew TO know and love them, and then this
aforementioned ingenious woman conceived
the brilliant idea of making brownies
to sell. She worked at it some time, but
finally with the aid of little wire, cloth
and paint brush, she turned out a sprite
that wouldn't have known himself in the
glass from the real thing or from Palmer
Cox's pictures.

sent them to the Woman's Exchange. They
sold the first day, and the second day she
had an order for ten. Before the season was
over the Exchange alone had sold 1900 of
them, the shops and exchanges in other
cities had taken as many more, and every
moment she had to spare would not suffice
to fill the orders that came in, and she was
forced to hire several assistants. Now
well-known firm has hired her to make
brownies exclusively for them. They pay
her big salary, give her an airy workroom
in their establishment, where there are half
a dozen girls to aid her and carry out her
orders. She has copied all the varieties OF
brownies that Cox drew and has made half
a dozen fresh sorts out Of her own head. 1t
seemed a very trifie foundation for success,
but it is not the first time she has made
money out of trifes, for it was she who in
vented the tissue paper owls which have
sold by the thousands, and when the
brownies lose their popularity is she conf
dent she can find something to take their
place.

will be like one OF those theatrical views
which are the same throughout play as to
the spot on which the action occurs, but are
shown from presumably different points of
the compass, so that the background
changes. do not make it 80 for the pur-
pose of economy in scenic material, do be-
lieve me, but because it really was that way
in the occurrences depicted in this story.
They began at the Grand Central Railroad
station, in New York, and with the depart
ure OF dramatic company on a
professional tour. Such party Of
Travellers can. always be picked out and
identified the world over. Actors and
actresses are cosmopolitan in their vagaries
of dress. If the actors coat is made of COM
mon-place fabric, 1t will have curious cut
to distinguish it, and if it be spaped in
conventional accord with prevailing styles,
it will be sure to be made of singular cloth.
In one way or the other he is bound to be
coated in manner to announce his calling.
And the actress, ii her travelling suit be
quiet and ordinary, there will at least be
roguish plume on her hat, or some other
establishment which says to every observer
as plainly as in words, 81 am an actress"
So it was that in the multitude of people at
the Grand Central, and in all the commo-
tion of arrival and departure, this one small
company of players displayed their occupa-
tion to all who cared to know it.
There was trouble about their trunks, con-
fusion about their tickets, and CONSERVATION
over one or two members who arrived barely
in time to board the train at all, but when
the wheels did begin to roll under the cars,
the business manager breatEed sigh of re-
lief as he leaned back in his seat and felt
that, however the tour might end, it was
commenced without mishap, His name was
Wilton Ortley, and he had been an actor
himself, but his voice had gone wrong with
asthma, or something of the sort, and he had
been forced from the art Of the drama over
into the commercial side of it. 1t was one
of those sumptuous parIor coaches, luxuri-
ously peculiar to American railroads, in
which he had comfortably bestowed his COM
pany.
The principal among them was Helen
Delware, woman whose beauty, bore the
test of daylight admirably, and that is a
great deal to saw of an actress, whose pro-
fessional countenance has to be matter of
artifciality. She was above the medium in
size, and certainly far superior to the aver
age of her sex in shapelinesss, which was
that of Juno indeed. She was not as
young at 80 as she had been at 20, and yet
there were no signs of over-maturity, either
in the face, with its. regular and almost
classical features, Cd in the form, with its
happy medium betwiXt the slimness of
girl and the roundness of a matron. The
richness of her travelling suit told of fnan-
cial resources as yet unimpaired by her
venture as a star actress Helen Delware

sand get her names on the other side. You
dislike to? Well it isn't essential that she
should know what or why she is signing. Tell
her it is an order for some trivial thing-any-
thing you please. II is only form, anyhow"
Here again Ortley meant to lead the other
into difficulty. The trap was vaguely set, and
when, few minutes later, it caught the in
tended prey, the trapper was elated by his un-
expectedly quick success.
The truth was that Warduf knew his wife's
alertness too well to suppose that she would
sign ANYTHING without knowing its nature. He
would not trust to the small chance of lapse
in her habit of always knowing what she was
about even though she was absorbedly en-
gagged in dialogue with the Frenehman. But
he meant to make Ortley believe she had
signed the note. He said to himself
that there was not much risk
or crim1nality in forging her signature.
right? The law ought to discriminate in that
particular if il didn't. So he joined her, fell
into the conversation awhile, showed her some
thing or other from his pocket, and endeayored
to make it appear to Ortley, who did nos seem
to be watching the proceeding closely, that he
was getting her to indorse the note. Instead
of that, he took the first opportunity to initiate
her signature with his own hand. Then he re-
turned to Ortley and handed the note to him.
''You didn't have much difficulty after allf'
Ortley remarked, as he scanned the indorse-
ment
20, none at all" was the slightly nervous
reply.
0rtley pocketed the piece Of paper, saying,
"You shall have the money tomorrow in Al
bany" and at the same time communing with
himself: 80 you are forger, my foolish
friendP Something profitable to me shall come
of this"

The story of salaried man who took q

"If 1 couldn't have any more comfort
with money than some men whom 1 know,
had rather remain poor. The other day 1
had business with man whose wealth is
yariously estimated from a half million to
one and half millions. I called at the
office and was told that he was on his vaca-
ton. I said I was sorry, as my business
was urgent. The clerk replied that old
Moneybags would be at his home that night.
Then he is not out of the city? 1 asked.
The clerk said No. and added, His vaca-
tions are half days off and are passed
near his business Then I asked where I
could find him. The clerk took me back of
screen and told me confdentiallY. I took

Thirty-ninth street. l went into one of the
beer gardens of that locality and there I
found nv millionaire with two or three
others, 1 don't remember the number.

gized for the intrusion and left. Passing
through the business end OF the concern I
loitered few minutes and talked with the
man in charge. said something about his
good customers.
"'Do you mean that crowd over there"
he inquired, pointing to the one in which
the millionaire sat. And then he continued:
They come here about twice week and
three OF them chip in and buy bottle Of

cheese on the counter. They call that fun,
and I suppose they go down town and tell
about having had monkey and parrot time

of the dissecting room with his trenchant
pen and thus attain name and salary
which would rattle along down the corridors
of time.
He asked if he might be permitted to see
the gentleman upon whom the class pro-
posed to elucidste, and was given permis-
sion to visit the room prior to the hour Of
demonstration, eff he would agree not to
carry anything away
He went nervously into the place by HIM
self in order to get up his courage. Also
to make a few notes. He saw something
that looked like person concealed under a
covering evidently doing the Sir John
Moore act. The reporter, with his fatal
notebook, went up to the table, and, won-
derng whether he would see mangled
criminal or a fair young Peri, he gently
lifted the sheet.
1t was young man.
There was nothing at all shocking about
his appearance. He looked as il he might
be slumbering. One could almost fancy
that he breathed.
THE CORPSE AwAKEs.
Pretty soon large fly buzzed around for
moment and alighted on the white, hand
some nose. The corpse stood it as long as it
could, and then brushed him off.
The reporter felt faint. He tottered and
fell over against the table 1t tipped up
little and the remains slid off at the side.
Seeing the note book the remains said:
"Mr., are you a reporter"
"Yes, SIR" said the sad man.
"Well, shake, if you please. So am 1.
1t struck me that it would be good idea to
get at the inside of the traffic in dissecting
goods and raw material for demonstrations.
So concluded to work it up and give it to
the public. L arranged the matter SO that 1
could be 'snatched' and guess must have
oversight myself. The thing wasn't what
you could call success, however, although
have got enough notes to make a good
story, but have just found out, when it
was too late, that another medical college
surprised one of the reporters of the evening
papers, so he'll scoop me at o'clock on
story had for tomorrow morning"
The sad reporter said that he went home
to the office and asked for an assignment
81 have none for you," said the city editor
as he put column story in the boiler and
boiled it down to half a stickful, 1--WE have

"if you have no assignment for me will 20

had been less than a year on the stage, and
there had been no slow climbing of the
ladder in her case, from obscurity to fame.
She had begun as q star, of as great mag
nitude as lavish expenditure in schooling
and wardrobe could produce; and if her
acting was not wondrous in the way Of
genius, it was at all events remarkable for
its clear escape from artistic failure. 1t is
true that she had not yet exploited herself
in New York, but during one season of pro-
fessional visits to wisely chosen small towns
she had found audiences to accept her, and
now she was off for more ambitious route
through middling sized cities.
Manager Ortley, soon after the train
started, took gentleman to her and placed
him in an adjoining chair. 1 wish to intro
duce this person to the reader particularly.
He was Andras Normaine. 1t was to be
seen at a glance that he was a Frenchman,
and it did not take long look to see that
he was q Partisan. He was dark complex
ioned, as most Frenchmen are, and tall,
which most Frenchmen are not. OF all
the theatrical Earty he was the single one
without theatric aspect The lower part
of his strongly handsome face was mus
tached and bearded, contrary to the custom
of actors, and he was enabled to leave it so
by reason OF his role in the comedy used BY
Helen Delware, being that of gentlemanly
villain, and we all know that gentlemanly
villains invariably wear whiskers. Nothing
out honest amiability, however, was now
expressed in his bright, intelligent visage.
When he politely removed his hat, upon
being presented to Miss Delware, he dis
closed that upright and close-cropped con-
dition of black hair, which we are accus-
toned to see in Paris, but which in America
is associated in idea with foreigners
Frenchmen, Italians, or Spaniards. Agree
able as was the appearance Of Andras Nor
maine in private life, it must be confessed
that when he figured in the play as scoun-
drel he resorted to no alterations whatever,
further than to displace his naturally ur-
bane expression with a sneering scowl. In
point ofdact, he had not up to this time
been an actor at all, save during week of
rehearsals prior to the outset. How this
had happened he explained to Miss Del
ware in the conversation which ensued.
II have been much pleased with your
ability, as shown at the rehearsals," the
lady said, "and am astonished to be told
by Mr.. Ortley that you are a a,novice. Do
you think that you will be able to face an
audience WITHOUT fright?"
"If have done well enough to please you
at the rehearsals," he replied, 81 think 1
shall do no worse before an audience. 1t
