This Sylvia Gerrish, by the way, is
one of the most remarkable women on
the stage. She isn't pretty, she can't
sing, but she has the most wonderful
feet and legs in the world. Nothing
like them has ever been seen before,
nothing ever will again. They have
walked with her right into fame, popu-
larlty and a big salary. She doesn't
sing anything nor say anything. she
simply walks down to the footlightS,
poses and pranceS. turns round and
round so that they may be seen from
every point, not even undertaking to
dance with these beautiful legs lest
such muscular effort might spoil their
faultlesS symmetry, and the enthusiast
tic audience cheers her with one accord
and wants her to do it over and over
again, which she is never ioath to do.
She stands five feet five inches on her
French heels, but the slippers to which
these heels are attached are only
marked No. l, and by honest count,
too. The owner of the Thistle so wor-
SHIPPED those beautiful feet that he
filled one of her tiny satin slippers with
champagne, drank to the success Of his
boat, and then nailed 1t to the cutters

beautiful legs served eXcellently as sea

most ardent yachtswomen that ever
sailed the seas, and she can handle a

She has lovely apartments here in
New York, Uttered all over with
bric-a-brac, which divides her affection
with the sea and Wagner's music, and
she really has some very good posses

THE AMERICAN GIRL.
Jane Hading Praises Our Home
Beauties.

The great French actress, Nine. Jane
Hading, writing from Paris to the New
York World, says of our American
girls: "Most of the young American
girls it has been my lot to meet pos
sessed beauty like the English and
piquancy like the French, with
something added in the shape
Of health and spirits, producing
a tone of mind and frame Of
body we know little about in France.
They dress prettily, with just touch of
eccentricity, which, however, becomes
them exceedingly well. They are
genuine from head to foot, and perfect
little ParSiennes in their way. The
Difference paid to them by the male sex
is warranted by the fullness of qualities
they possess. They are, in fact, an
epitome Of 'everv creatures best"
Besides the beauty and piquancy | have
alluded to, they have vivacity of
intellect, an aptness of speech
and address and noble up
rightness of purpose, which includes
every charm, and here again they COM

where in the world are women so ten
derby and so carefully considered as in
the United States, and that is no doubt
why the United States is the only

Whether brunette in New York, blonde
in Boston or sparkling and languid

THE BABIES OF THE WORLD.
Nearly Thirty-Seven Million OF
Them Appear Every Year.

Nearly Thirty-Seven Million of
Them Appear Every Year.
Leeds Mercury.
1t has been computed that between
36,O0O,0OO and 100000 of babies are
born into the world each year. The
rate of production is therefore about
seventy minute or rather more than
one for every beat of the clock. With
the one-a-minute calculation every
reader is familiar, but it is not every
one who stops to calculate what this
means when it comes to years
supply. And it will probably,
therefore, startle good many per-
sons to find on the authority of writer
in the hospital that could the infants of
year be ranged in a line in cradles
seven deep they would go round the
globe. We have the ingenious con-
cluSion also that supposing the little
ones to grow up and the sexes to he
about equally divided, we should have
an army hundred times as large as
the forces of the British empire, with
wife in addition to every soldier. The
same writer looks at the matter in
still more picturesque light. He
imagins the babies being carried past
given p0lnC III unelr m0CnerS' cnarge
one by one and the procession being
kept up continuously night and day
until the last conner in the twelve
month had passed by. A sufficiently
liberal rate of speed is allowed, but even
with these babies-in-arms going past
twenty minute, the reviewing officer
would only have seen sixth part of
the infantile host file onward by the
time he had been year at his post. In
other words, the babe that had to be
carried when the work began would be
able TO toddle onward itself when
a mere fraction of its COM
rades had reached the saluting
post, and when the years sup
ply of babies was tapering to close,
there would be rear guard not of in
fants, but of romping boys and girls.
They would have passed, in fact, out of
the maternal arms into the hands of the
school teacher. Every moment of nearly
seven years would be required to COM
plete this grand parade of those little
ones that in the course of a twelvemonth
begin to play their part in the first age
of man.

PRETTY SAMOAN LEFT ALONE

Die arr,annnd

She Was the Wife of a Young
American, Who Has Strangely
Disappeared.
San Francisco Special to New York Tribune.
Lauly Maleti, the only native Samoan
woman in this country is in great grief
at her home in Alameda, because of the
mysterious disappearance of her
husband, Alexander A. Willis,
young American contractor and
builder. He left home few days ago,
and 10 trace of him has been found.
She fears suicide, but his friends say
that he became hopelessly involved by
large building contracts and has fled to
Australia. The SamoanS are so strongly
attached to their native islands that
Lauly is the first instance of full
blooded Samoan who has voluntarily
eXiled herself. Love brought her to
America, and she recently told in
book of personal "reminiscences her
love adventures. 1t seems that seven
to build houses for German
planting company. Lauly, who was
the daughter of ruling chief of Apia.
and related by blood to Malietoa, met
him on steamer as it entered the har-
Dor. One of the passengers inSulted a
Samoan girl, and Willis promptly
knocked him down. This was the be-
ginning of courtship which soon
ended in their marriage. They had one
pretty boy, now six years old. Two
years ago they came to Alameda, where
Willis was elected vice president of the
California Building association. He
took too many contracts, lost money,
and to save himself from his creditors
he either fed or ended his life.
What makes livery sad for his Samoan
wife, far away from home and kindred,
Is that Willis transferred the house she
lived in to a pressing creditor, and she
will thus be dispossessed. She is no
more than twenty-five, with pretty feat
ures and beautiful eyes. She dresses
like an American girl, and is very skill
full with her needle. Her book, which
was published here about two months
ago, had no sale because it was so badly
written. Her friends here will proha-
bly, send her back to her people in
Samoa, with whom she has regularly
correSponded.

Mrs. Harrison at Deer Park.

The whole White house party, says a
Washington letter, will remain with ex-
Senator Davis for few days, until the
Spencer cottage, which they will oc-
cupy, is ready for their reception. The
Spencer cottage is a neat-looking one,
with high-pitched roof painted red.
pleasantly situated in full view of the
hotel and about one hundred yards to
the east of it. 1t is about the same dis
lance to the west of ex-senator Davis
home, and but few steps to the north
of the ElkinS cottage. 1t contains
eight rooms. four on each floor, besides
several small rooms for the servants. 1t
is neatly furnished, and will present a
very hOmelike appearance. A carload
of furniture from her indianapolis resi-
dence was brought here early in the
week. Mrs. Harrison and the president
are not strangers at Deer Park. They
have spent portion of nearly every
summer here for the past ten years as
the guests of Senator and Mrs. Davis,
and it is expected that both President
and Mrs. Harrison will meet a large
number of their old friends here. AS
yet nothing special has been arranged
for their entertainment. Mrs. Harrison
needs rest, and will remain very quiet
for week at least. After that time she
may hold one or two general receptions,
and reception may be given at the
hotel in her honor. The president is
expected to come up OH Saturday with
Private Secretary Halford, and will re-
main over Sunday and return to his
desk on Monday.

Sick Headache

A Woman Sporting Reporter.

In the reporters stand, says a New
York letter, saw for the first time a
woman reporting horse race, and was
interested in reading next day what she
put to paper. 1t was good work, and it
suggested anew how much women are
now doing that only short time ago
was done by men alone. This young
woman had an article of five columns
length in conspicuous New York
newspaper Sunday with reference to
the horses that ran in the Suburban
and the jockeys that rode them.
The same newspaper devoted nearly
half its space that day to special
articles written by women. When
woman has the gift of writing combined
with the gift of newspaper sense, and
by that l mean the judgment that tells
her what to write and what to omit, she
is quite as valuable to big newspaper
as a man, for she brings to the newspa-
per a freshness of observation and an
originality that are refreshing. She
can obtain certain line of information,
too, that man secures with great diff
Guilty. All of the big newspapers now
employ several women, because their
work is of real value. but sending
woman to horse race is absolutely
new departure

When Women Should Marry.

Hospital.
Probably the best time for the average
civilized woman to marry would he any
age between twenty-four and thirty-Six
1t is not said that no woman should
marry earlier or later than either of
these ages; but youth and health and
vigor are ordinarily at their highest per-
lection between these two periods.
Very early marriages are seldom desira
bic for girls, and that for many reasons.
The brain is immature, the reason is
feeble and the character is uniformed.
The considerations which would prompt
a girl to marry at seventeen would in
mauy cases have very little weight with
her at twenty-four. At seventeen she
is a child, at twenty-four a woman.
Where girl has intelligent parents the
seven years between seventeen and
twenty-four are the period when
mind and body are most amena-
BILE to wise discipline, and best
repay the thought and toll devoted to
their development. Before seventeen
few girls have learned to understand
what life life is, what discipline is,
what duty is. They cannot value what
is best, either in the fathers wisdom or
i'll the mothers tenderness. When
married at GnaC cnildlSn period Cney are
like young recruits taken fresh from
the farm and the workshop and hurried
off to long campaign without any
period of preliminary drill and training.
or like Schoolboy removed from school
to curacy without being sent to the
university OF to theological hall. Who
can help grieving over a child-wife, es-
pecially if she have children and huS-
band who is an inexperienced and pos
siblY eXacting BOWMAN? The ardOr of
his love soon cools; the visionary bliss
of her poetical Imagination vanishes
like the summer mist; there is nothing
left but disappointment and wonder
that what promised to be so beautiful
and long day should have clouded
over almost before sunrise.

Crowned and Uncrowned Royalty

OEo"hSo dHu OhCEo"hC ivy
Paris Letter.
Near the Arc de Triomphe, on the
Avenue Clefaire, dwells the ex-queen of
Spain during such portions of the year
as her limited income enables her to
equip with servants and keep open the
large and lordly mansion which she
owns, situated in one of the most
wealthy quarters of. Paris. She was
visited last week by her son-in-law and
youngest daughter Eulalie, and later by
the Prince of Wales, his wife and
daughters. She has taken much inter-
est in the exposition, visiting it fire.
QuentlY, and one day assembled the
Eitfel tower in company with the Prince
of Wales. She has grown stout and
leads quiet life, and the fact that she
is banished from Spain and cannot be
received at the court of st. James
does not seem to wear upon
her constitution. She probably
learned long ago by her sad experience
the truth OF the old adage, Uneasy lies
the head that wears crown" The
Prince of Wales seems less scrupulOuS
about his company, and is really much
more democratic than his eStimable
mother, who is soon to celebrate her
SEVENTEEN birthday. The prince and
his wife and daughters paid the ex
queen marked attention while here.
While she lives in Paris the ex-Empress
Eugene is banished to England and
cannot return here, because her infiu-
ence with the priesthood is SO great as
10 be considered dangerous to the safety
of the republic. Last week the sale of
the effects of Napoleon LII. and of En-
press Eugenie took place at Chiselhurst.
Among them were many rare old pieces
of furniture and the bed upon which
Eugene slept during the palmy days of
the empire. So close is the proximity
of crowned and uncrowned royalty one
can but reflect upon the transformers
of human greatness.

True American and BostOnian.

Boston POST.
A Boston lady, knowing that the
translation of Dante had just then ap-
peared, and having heard that the aged
monarch, (the king of Saxony) was
proud of his literary ability, had a good
opportunity of abiding to his chef
d'Oeuvre, which she Immediately seized.
The king addressed her in turn, say
ing: You are from America, l be-
lieve. l think | have seen you in the
Crosse Garten. Why have you not
been presented Before?" II am from
America. sire" she replied, where we
have no kings. l have waited for the
proper time to be introduced to your
majesty; and now may be per-
mtted, as an American, to say
that l feel it less an honor to be pre-
sented to the king of Saxony than to
'PhilistrateS, the translator of Dante,
whom trust l may be allowed to con-
graduate on the successful achieve
ments of the work." The king had
published the translation under the
above sobriquet. He was much pleased
with the compliment thus bestowed,
laughed with delight and said the lady
had been prompt i'll examining the new
publication.

attire. She used as an illustration the
paw of a cat.

'Yesem," from the class.
"And you have seen the paw OF a

"Yesem."
"Well, although the cats paw seems
like velvet, there is nevertheless con-
cealed in it something that hurts. What
is it?'
No answer.

Milkman and Prince.
Philadelphia Record

Philadelphia Record.
A generation ago-some thirty-odd
years-when I was freshman in Bur-
lington college, used to hear on my
visits to Trenton grist of queer stories
about Prince Murat, who once drove a
milk wagon in that town, and was re-
fused in marriage by a score of
Trenton bellies. None of the lat
ter dreamed that the seedy young
farmer-milkman would ever be re
stored as prince of the empire, and
the people from whom he had bor1 owed
money never dreamed of being repaid.
Times are changed, and perhaps some
impoverished old women still survive
at Trenton who now wish they had
married the milkman, whose son,
Prince Murat. is now thought to be
brilliant catch for Miss Gwendoline
Caldwell, OF this city. The Murat
legends in Trenton might be worth a
Bohemian hunt.

To Keep a Trim Figure.

Women who wish to preserve the
slimness and contour of their figure
must begin by learning to stand well.
That is explained to mean the throwing
forward and upward of the chest, the
hattening of the back, with the shoulder
blades held in their proper places, and
the definite curying in the small of the
back, thus throwing the whole weight
of the body upon the hips. No other
women hold themselves so we'll as the
aristocratic English women. Much of
their beauty lies in their proud carriage,
the delicate erectness of their figures,
and the fine poise of their heads.
The same aristocratic carriage is with
in the reach of any American girl who
takes the pains TO have it; it is only the
question of few years of eternal vigil
ance, never relaxing her watchfulness
over herself, and sitting or standing. al
ways preserving her erectness and pose,
