4 Hint for Christm a.

Those wise virgins who keep their
lamps trimmed against the important
day are already busy with their fancy
work for Christmas, and their latest ma
terial is art cord or COUGHING silk, as some
call it. This is an unusually heavy cord
that is used on everything-tidies for
chair and sofa, squares for the tops Of
tables, large and small, coverings for
cushions everywhere. II has the twofold
advantage Of being shOwily effective and
filing up fast. One of the novelties Of
the season on which this art cord is used
is a round cushion. The cushion is filed
with the best elder down and covered
with unbleached or yellow linen, stamped
with design for Roman embroidery.
The edges are joined by full putting Of
China silk of some bright color. Around
the edges Of the cushion are sewn. at
intervals, small brass rings, over which
Il crocheted wash twist. Through these
rings is drawn the art cord Of a bright
gold color, after the manner OF LAGER,
backward and forward, and is then tied
in little bow with tasseled ends. The
idea is new and will doubtless take for
that very reason.-BuEalo News

The active career of this eccentric, noted
woman has probably come to an end. II she
ever leaves the bed to which she is now con-
fined it Will be as a cripple. Ten months ago
she fell and broke her leg. A few months
later. when the fracture had partly healed,
she fell again, and the wound, thus made
worse, now stubb0rnly refuses to heal. Drawer
than most women, or most men for that mat
ter, would be under the circumstances, DR..
Walker talks calmly of her condition and
prospects Death from modification or am
putation Of the limb are the woes from which
she is to choose.
I asked DR.. Walker for some "reminiscences
Of her army experience.
"Ah,' she replied, there Is 50 much I
should not know where TO commence a mar
raJive. But I viii tell You an incident of my
trip 70 the front. In 1850 heard there were
many sick and wounded III the camps Of Gen.
Burnside's army down near Warrenton. So

ice. found large number of men lying in

worst Of IL was he could get 40 supplies
There were no vessels with which to battle
the men-no towels OF bsndsges with which
to apply cold water 70 Sootlle them. I went
10 my tent, opened my trunk, took out four
pretty nightgOwns which had with me, tore
them into small squares, and, taking these TO
the hospital, told the soldier nurses how 70
wet them and apply tbem 10 the temples of
the Sufferers. That was the last time I ever
owned a nightgown. Then l went cut into
the neighbcrhoOd TO set some vessels Of some
sort from which the men could be bathed. l
never saw a people 50 poverty stricken.
They had literally nothing. The armies had
taken away every dish and pan. In one
house ! found kettle and asked If could
have it. Yes, by deposiunE money for its
safe return and promising On honor 10 send
it back. In this way I managed 70 pick up a
few dishes from which the faces, necks and
bodies Of the sufferers could be bathed with
cold water.

a memor1a1 or rne russian invasion.


Hunichen, the deaf and dumb land
scape painter, whose death from an acct
dent is just announced from Wittenberg,
was walking memorial of the horrors
of the Russian invasion Of Germany in
1918. He was born in Birkenbush, vii
lage about two hours journey from Wit
tenberg. One day, during the Russian
bombardment of the town, the villagers
all left their homes to watch the firing
from the heights, and Frau Hmichen,
with her infant, was left alone in her
cottage. Suddenly there appeared at the
door two brutal Cossacks who asked for
money. The young mother tremblingly
told them she had none, whereupon they
seized her and her child, bound them
together, and fogged them with their
knouts until they were both insensible.
On the return of the villagers they were
restored to consciousness by medical aid,
but, as a result of the injuries he had re-
ceived, Hunichen remained deaf and
dumb until the end Of his DAYS. His
death was, indeed, a direct consequence
of the maltreatment he had received
seventy-six years ago, inasnuch as he
was run over by wagon, the approach
of which he was unable to hear. Hunt
chen was a very capable painter, and
was much patronized by the German
imperial famiy.-New York Tribune.

study VIII accomplish these ends, her pros
poets for the kind of success she desires are
good, for she devotes four or five hours every
day to study and practice. With the time
spent at the theatre during regular perform
ances and rehearsals, this makes her working
days longer than thcse of the average woman,
or man either, for that matter.
Miss Comstock was born In Albany, n. Y,
but now, when she Is not on the road, she
lives very quietly with her mother in New
York. Miss ComstOck is the sister Of Alex
ander Comstock, the well known theatrical
manager; but she is the only one Of the fam
lily who has ever gone on the stage There is
no doubt, however, that she has chosen prop
erly. do you know" she says, ~ am per-
fectly happy the moment l pass the stage
door, AS she is, apparently, perfectly
happy at all other times well, il is reason
able to consider her one of the lucky ones Of
TINS world. Perhaps it is unfair to say that
Miss Comstock is the only actress of the fami-
ly, for one of her nIeceS has made a very
brilliant start she has been on the stage a
shorter time even than Miss Comstock; but
the date of her birth, unfortunately, would
not allow an earlier beginning. This is Miss
Annette Leland, etat 3; she plays the part
of the baby in 'BoOtles' Baby" with much
grace and feeling, and lit can be said without
fear of arousing jealousy is the most popu-
lar member Of the company.
Lila Vane played the part of Gertrude
EIlingham in Shenandoah" during its long
run in New York, but is tosbasely desert the
company when it makes its flying trip to San
Francisco and begins its read season" 1t is
said that her name VIII cease TO be Lila Vane
at about the same time. She is one Of the
very few actresses who confess an honest af-
lection for ingenue roles. She is of medium
height, dark and as lively as a cricket For
one whole week, year or two ago, she played
in Washington and rehearsed in New York
on the same day.
Miss Vane is victim Of fads at present
She is given to tailor made gowns and par
chest, tight coiled hair, newspapers, break
faSts in bed and beggars. She is the center
Of pleasant little social circle of professional
people who are won't to gather in her rooms
on Thursday afternoons and partake of tea
punch, banjo music and songs Miss Vane,
by the way, is the originator of the particular
brand of tea punch served at these gatherings,
but is willing to let me give its secret to the
world. OF course, its basis is good, strong tea.
Then come a pint of champagne, the juice of
two lemons and a pint of Jamaica rum.
Sweeten it to suit your taste and serve in
very small glasses In order to know it In all
its glory it should be decanted and kept on

DR.. MARY WALKER N HER PRIME,
tainIy not abundautly blessed with funds.
No feminine fnery adorns the walls, and
there Is no closet in which hang dresses and
wraps. The room is without other furniture
than the small bed, two chairs and an old bu-
reau, Sitting ralishly on the top of the last,
with It's crown nodding to one side, is the
high silk hat which thedoctor has worn many
times IN public, lone reminder Of what the
world calls her eccsntricity, but which her
friends know to be the proof Of her courage
and conscieusiOusness. But for the garb
which Dr. Mary has SO long worn, and Of
which this nlannish hat is the reminder, prob
ably she would have had justice long ago.

claim upon the government, and the bill vot-
ing her $1,000, which was last week placed
upon the calendar, had been four times be-
fore unanimously reported to the house from
the committee on war claims
With obviously painful effort, the queer
little woman sits up in bed to talk 10 her
caller. Even in sickness DIR. Mary Walker
adheres as much as possible to the man dress
which she has for q quarter Of q century
champiOned for women. No long, white
night robe wears she, but, instead, a comfort
able, loose fitting blouse Of dark material,
with convenient pocket, and caught at the
throat with q black sailor tie. The face is
pale and wan, tho eyes look tired, and it is
evident that this is not the DR.. Walker whom
the soldiers saw in the hospitals of the capital
during the war, nor yet the same DR.. Walker
whose quaint, dappeT figure has been familiar
to the frequenters Of the streets of Washing
ton for quarter Of a century. Thirty years
ago DR.. Walker was young and comely.
Then, said the little doctor, her eyes blaz-
ing with excitement, 81 could get anything I
wanted in this city. Doors opened to me
everywhere, presidents and cabinet ministers
and great generals were glad to listen 10 me.

and transportation. 1 was younger then, and
was working for the soldiers. But nown-

DuI Ine urmn dId not move After every
thing was In readiness a quarter hour and
then another passed, and the train stood still.
Then I discovered there was no one there
with authority to give orders. All those in
authority had taken the first train for Wash

ny's country. So stepped up TO the engi-

HE went on to Washington. On the-way
saw that twoof my patients were dying. I
took the head of one of them in my lap,
bathed his temples with water, and asked
him his name. He tried to mutter it, but
could not. From some of his comrades
learned his name and regiment. He died

when asked for his name and home could

He signaled that had understood him, and

Another, which never made itself known to
her in its true light, was the alleged proposal
Of marriage made to her by Chester A. Ar
thur. That was joke which DR.. Mary took
very seriously. 1t is her sincere conviction
that on two occasions, by the fundamentally
of mutual friend, Mr.. Arthur asked her to
be bis wife. OF course she refused him, and
wears it as one of the feathers in her cap that
she declined the hand Of a president.
Some years ago, for once in her life, DR..
Mary was forced into belhgerency. Usually
as mild and gentle as a young maiden, on
this occasion she lifted up her cane and let it
descend somewhat heavily upon the head of
her antagonist. Gen Spinner, the old treas
urer of the United States, was one of her
friends, and ten or twelve years ago appoint
ed her to Il cIerkship in his Office. But the
secretary Of the treasury.refused TO sign the
appointment; and, though the doctor had
commenced work, they denied her compensa-
ton therefor. Still she appeared at her desk
regularly each morning, ready for work.
This she continued for several weeks, until
finally orders were issued TO keep her out Of
the Office.

Among them is Miss Bessie Tyree Her
stage career is remarkable because Of its
very brevity. A year ago she was not an
actress-not even an amateur-but now one
of the foremost authorities on things theatre
cal puts her name second on list Of the ris-
ing young actresses of America. In 1889 she
appeared once in the balcony scene from
Romeo and Juliet in Washington; in the
middle of this season she took part in the
benefit given by the actors and actresses Of
New York to Mrs. James G. Blaine, Jr, and
now she has reached the theatrical paradise
of Mr.. Frohman's famous stock company.
Miss Tyres is a member Of one Of the oldest
of the Of T. V.'s,'' and, moreover, is a de-
scendant Of the great Scotch house Of Doug
las, Lady Margaret Douglas having married
a leader Of the Tyree clan. The first Tyree
arrived in America IN r773, and sustained the
honor Of his fighting ancestors by espousing
the cause Of the colonists with sword and
musket in the Revolutionary war. Nor was
he the last one Of the family to bear arms in
defense Of his convictions. During the late
civil war three Tyres who afterward had
the honor Of becoming uncles to Miss BesSie)
served as colonies in tho Confederate army.
When the struggle had ended the Tyres
found that they had been among the heaviest
sufferers by the fortunes Of war. The old
homestead in Virginia still stood, but little
else was left unscathed. Some years later
