Some queer mistakes happen to actresses,
due to the many roles they enact upon the
stage. Recently Miss Kathryn Kidder. who
Is playing the part of mother to Little Lord
Fauntloroy at the Broadway theatre, at
tended reception. The hostess introduced
her to lady, with this remark: "She is the
mother of Little Lord Fauntleroy." Some
how the lady interpreted the remark liter
ally and began to question Miss kidder about
the age of her little son and when she per-
mitted him to go on the stage. 1t was an
embarrassing moment, when the young ac-
tress explained that she was only the
mother i'll the play and not in real
life. Miss Kidder is young and has rich
father, who is willing to star her any time
she desires. She told n reporter that she pre-
ferred to work patiently and become a star
in the legitimate course of her career rather
than start out prematurely and run the risk
of not making financial success. As she was
only 20 years old, she averred that she could
wait. Miss kidder began her stage career
when she was only l6 years old, and made a
success with Mayo in ''Nordeck" and in Gil
lette's "Held by the Enemy" She is not at
all superstitious, but yet one season she pos

fsroSnipC's Courfshin-

1t is rather startling to see journal in the
modern Athens gravely announce that
Browning wrote Lady Geraldine's Court
ship in two consecutive hours" As it was
written By Elizabeth Barrett some years he
fore she became Mrs. Browning it is not quite
clear how it should be ascribed to her hus-
band 1t was, moreover, written by Miss
Barrett in twelve hours, which, though six
times the two hours" of our Boston con-
temporary, was so swift that its production
will always be recorded among the excep-
tional literary achievements. In this poem
written by Miss Barrett before she had ever
seen her future husband) she alludes to book
of poems he had just published under the title
of Bells and Promegranates," in a line that
runs:
Or from Browning some pomegranate. which If
cut down in the middle
Shows a heart within. blood tinctured, of a vened
humanity.
1t is related that the first meeting between
Miss Barrett and Mr.. Browning was brought
about by his calling to thank her for this allu-
sion to his poems. Boston Traveller

Old Circus Tricks.

Now that am out Of the circus line do
not mind telling you one Of the secrets of the
business. 1t is one of tho cuteSt tricks in the
profession of ticket seller. While we were
down south and in small towns where the
people were unsophisticated we would adver-
tise our big elephant, our dens of lions, tigers,
bears and other animals, when we only had
horses and mules. That was years ago, how,
ever, and the people now have to see all the
animals in the street before they patronize
the show. One fake which every one in the
show was Ion 70" was the red ticket A man
with young lady would walk boldly up to
the ticket stand and to impress his lady
companion would pull out roll of money
The ticket seller would see it, and after re
turning the wrong change and ticket, would
put one of these red slips into the mans hat
band, saying, at the same time, that it would
take him clear through the menagerie, cir

Brain Weight of Rows and Girls.

In the final result of the comparison of the
two sexes in the human race, anatomical re-
searches will form an important factor.
Many anatornists have recognized this fact,
and have instituted comparisons between the
sexes from various points of view. NJ Gusta We
le Bon reviews the work Of NJ Manouv.ier
and that Of NJ. Budin, both of whom aver
that "sex has no influence ON brain weight.
With them the influence of sex is nothing
more than the influence of height; and if the
females, as whole, exceed the males in brain
weight, it is simply because the weight Of the
body In the females Is much below that of the
males" NJ. le Bon puts the theory of his ad-
versaries to the test in very ingenious man.
ner by comparing the krains of males and
females having about the same weight. By
this investigation it is shown that in the great
majority of cases the male children surpass
the females of the same weight In their cranial
circumference. At the same age, height, and
weight Of body, the female brain is notably
smaller than that Of the male Herald of
Health

Exceptions 60 tie rule of marriages de con-
venance are 50 rare as really not to count at
all. To comprehend, however, that this does
not inevitably lead to social stoppage and
disaster, it is necessary to perceive that the
same thing which might result very badly for
us does not necessa rily result badly for people
who are so very different from us as the
French are And this is an extremely drl,-
cult matter; it is always difficult to realize
that ma1ims which we have conquered for
ourselves have not a universal validity. The
conception of marriage de convenance by no
means excludes the idea of love. Neither
does the practice. No young girl In France
looks forward TO not loving her husband. She
simply expects to learn to love him after
marriage as our young girls are expected to do
before as well As a matter of fact, in the
vast majority of cases this expectation is
justified Parents and society see to it that 1t
shall bs justifable, and the result--always Of
course lottery-is made dependent on old
heads instead of On young hearts.-W. c.
