Charlotte Cushman's Advice.

Probably the most conspcu JUS example to-
day of hOwa woman may climb the dramatic
ladder in the old orthodox way is Miss Cora
Tanner, who has been starring throughout
the country with increasing success for four
or five seasons. She began her theatrical
education at the age of fourteen, in j. III.
McVickor's Chicsgo stock company, which
included at that time such people rs Char
Iotte Cushman, Lucille Western and Ade-
lade Nelson. Miss Tanner was not slow in
taking advantage of her opportunities to
study under those mistresses of the dramatic
art, and her devotion to the simple duties of
the beginner was soon noticed. One day
Miss Cushmen called her to her side and
said:
Child, do you wish to become an act
ress 2"
ooh, of all things, Miss Cushman,' re-
piled little Cora.
81 see you are attractive" continued the
great trngedicnne, after careful sur
vey Of the girl, "ani believe you have talent.
Study !! and try TO forget you are pretty"
This warning impressed Miss Tanner deep
~ and she never forgot it. When not ac-
lively engaged in her profession she applied
herself to the requirement OF those accom-
plshmenls which adorn womanhood, and
which are especially valuable to the actress.
To these methods she owes her success,
though it would be idle 10 say that her beau.

Swimming Examinations for Boys

One Ofthc most sensible of school rcgua-
tons is that at Elton which specifies that
only those boys Who know how to swim
shall engage in boating. Al one time the
school authorities did not interfere at all in
overseeing the Oarsmen, and accidents on the
water Were not AT all unusual.
In 1910, however, when II boy was drown
ed, the law was made that no boy should be
allowed to enter boat who had not passed
an examination in swimming. One or two
teachers were appointed river masters, bath
ing places were specified, and watermcn
were engaged, both TO teach swimming, and
to he at hand with punts, in order to prevent
accident.
Bathing is permitted as soon after the
Easter holidays Ms the weather will allow, and
twice week the river masters are present at
Cuckoo weir to conduct the swimming exam
nation. "Boaiing," of the Badminton H..
brary, describes the ceremony:
a number OF boys thought by the water
men to he sufficiently proficient, appear, un-
dressed, in II punt. About thirty yards off a
pole is stuck up in the wafer. The master
stands on high place called the acropolis,
and rs he calls one name af or another each
pupil takes header aud swims once or twice
round the pole. 1t is not sufficient merely to
take the header and accomplish the specified
distance; he must swim in approved form, so
as to capable of swimming in his clothes"
Since these formaities have been establish
ed only one boy has been drowned at Et0n,
though many boats are swamped under all
SORTS Of circumstances. Those who have not
passed belong to the class called mon nant"

SKIP and Posture.

A Chinese journalist has been writ
ing in a native paper an account of
western customs as observed by him in
the course of a visit to England. Con-
corning 8 o'clock tea he says: men
and women are seated indiscriminately
around the same dish and at the
same table. Even a man and his
daughter-in-law, a woman and her
brother-in-law do not avoid each
others company. Besides invitations
to dinner, there are invitations to tea
gatherings, such as are occasionally
given by wealthy merchants and dis
tinguished officials. When the time
comes, invitations are sent to an equal
number of men and women and, after
they ire all assembled, tea and sugar,
milk, bread and the like are set out as
aids to conversation. More particular
ly are these invitations to skip and pos
ture, whenth the host decides what manis
to be the partner of what woman and
what woman of what man. Then
with both arms g%rasping each other
they leave the table in pairs and leap,
skip, posture and prance for their mu-
tual qualification. A man and woman
previously unknown to one another
may take part in it. They call thi,
skipping tanshen (dancing)."-Pal

The Listener was a bit amused the other
day by a scene that occurred on Robert
street. A man of gigantic proportions
n dime museum freak out for an airing
the top of whose head was located fully
eight feet above the soles of his feet, was
seen numbering along up the street. From
the opposite direction came another very
tall man, but not nearly so tall as. the
freak. The latter stopped, gravely lifted
his hat to the eight-footer, and made
some passing salutation by word of
mouth. The freak did not seem to relish
this familiarity of the other tall gentle
man, and sullenly growled out a word or
two between his teeth. When the other
tall mar came along to where the Listen
err was standing he remarked: 81 stand
six feet one inch in my stockings, and
whenever 1 inject a man who is taller than
l am it is my invariable rule to take off

The returns received yesterday re-
duced Mr.. Adams majority from sc to
SO. with seventeen precincts still to hear
from. Mr.. Adams majority cannot long
sustain such reduction and il will not be a
surprise to any one should the returns
which come in from the north to-day give
Mr.. Altman a small majority and the
election.
"a few more such victories as that OF
Adams" said a prominent Republican
leader yesterday, will put tho Laramie
county Republicans in the soup"
This exactly expresses the sentiment of
many thoughtful people. For a Repub.
lican candidate to leave Cheyenne with
only 81 majority in the face of the fact
that he had a strong card in his favor
through the way the constitution vas
worked is the best indication of the dis
indignation Of the local Republican party.
The people are getting tired of ring rule
and ring domination. They are getting
tired of having the same old games
worked upon them by the same Odd peo-
Pile year after year.
The Democrats have every reason to
congratulate themselves upon the results.

Orchids and GeranIums.

The orchid is the most popular flow
er now among people who can afford
TO cultivate it. No flower has been ex-
perimented with to the extent this has,
while the amount Of money spent on
it cannot even be estimated. There
are over 10, 900 varieties catalogued,
and there are at least half that num-
Der of distinct and easily distinguished
species. The orchid is, and will al
ways be, the rich mans and the
enthusiastic horticulturist's favorite,

much money to his flower beds al.
ways falls back or the geranium, OF
which there are also thousands of va
~rieties. The geranium will seldom
live out of doors through an average
winter, and even such cold nights as
we have had this fall have proved ia
tai TO many choice roots. But there
are many ways Of preserving the
roots through the winter without put
ting them under glass. The uniform
temperature of a dry cellar is better
than the varying heat of a living
room. Some people hang their roots
from the cellar beams, and others
bury them in sand which is kept
moist Either plan is effective and
will keep nearly all healthy roots alive

The deepest bore hole in the world,
claimed at different times for a num-
Der of places, is, according to latest ac-
counts, at S~chladebach, a small Ger
man village near Leipsic. 1t measures
1,749.4 meters, orabout 5,735 feet. The
time expended in boring to this depth
amounted to six years, at a cost of
$50, 800. A peculiar experience en-
countered in connection with this and
other deep holes in different parts of
Germany is, according to Uhland's
Wochenschrift, that the observed
temperatures, while steadily increasing
with the depths, show a small ratio OF
increase in the lower strata. -Engin-

GLORIOUS VICTORIES.

Have You heard from Ohio Have
you heard from Iowa2 Have you heard
from New York ? Have you heard from
Virginia? If you have what IS the mat
ter with Colorado ?
Iowa, the stronghold of bitter radical
Republicanism, has this year gone Demo
cratic beyond the possibility of doubt.
OHIO, Just as radical in its Republicanisn,
has wheeled into line in the Democratic
column where it will no doubt hereafter
be found.
With Ohio and Iowa gone Democratic
there can scarcely be any limit set to Dem
ocratic possibilities in this country for
years to come. While it may be conceded
that in both states purely local causes
have had tremendous effect in settling
the result, nevertheless the party which
represents the sentiments which are so
distasteful to the people Is the Republican
party and the odium is carried beyond the
simple issue itself to the entire pitt or
ganization. Besides this there can be no
possible doubt that the farmers are gradu-
ally awaking to an appreciation ofthe fact
that they in the end pay the bonus which
the government extends to the manufac-
turers. The revolution of sentiment in
Ohio and Iowa is extraordinarily viewed
from any standpoint and we believe
will be more farreaching in Its couse-
quences that many Republicans parti,u.
larry may be disposed to concede.
In 1884 Iowa gave a plurality Of 49,
1888 for Blaine and in 1888, 3l,7ll for
Harrison. In "a Ohio gave a plurality
of 81, 1876 for Blaine and in 1888 10. 500
for Harrison Foraker was reelected two
years by a plurality Of %, 329 and every
officer in tho state government was Re-
publican. An indication hat the change
Of front involves political as well as social
considerations is found in the fact hat
the legislature is strongly Democratic.
An explanation given by Assistant
Postmaster General Clarkson is very
plausible, but it only emphasizes the fact
that the result in Iowa is not an of year
uncertainty but a radical change which
will make Iowa a Democratic state in a
presidential year.
