HANS MAKARr,s LOVELY MODEL.

HANS MAhAh1'S mODEL.
A widow charged at Vienna the other day
with throwing wine bottle at mans head
to his serious injury, appealed to the mercy
of the magistrate on account of her destitute
condition. She told the following story
of her life: She said she had been called '.the
beautiful Emily" and was the famous model
who posed for several of Hans Makart's larg-
est NEUROLOGICAL pictures. Afterward she
had married well-to-do manufacturer,
whom she taught to be idle and fond of lux
ury, SO that at his death she was left peuni-
less. She had since lived by writing letters
to benevolent ladies and gentlemen describ-
ing her destitute position, which was such
that she had not often meal or fire and
never rag to put upon her back. She was
especially animated in informing the court
that, while she generally obtained some sort
of help, lady had once written to her that
she did not give clothes to people who had
been SO long accustomed to go without. The
ex- beauty seemed to take this as an insult to
her former profession. The court was
moved by her destitute condition to limit
her sentence to one weeks imprisonment

Never before has there
been offered to the public a
book of reference approach
ing this one in completeness,
compactness or cheapness.
1t contains 720 pages of en-
cyclopedic information con-
corning all branches of
knowledge, comprising, in q
condensed form, stripped of
unnecessary verbiage, 6the
very cream of the Encyclo-
padia Britannica and the
latest edition of Chambers's
Encyclopedia, with the adj
dition of a great many
American subjects found in
neither of the larger ency-
clopedias.
Besides being a compre-
hensive gazetteer of universal
knowledge, it is also a COM
plete Atlas Of the World,
containing eighty full-page
maps.
Some idea may be gained
of the magnitude of this
wonderful work and the vast
number Of subjects treated
of, from the following:
Number of pages, 100.
Size of page, 7ax10.
Columns to page, 3.
Lines to a column, SO.
Words to a line, 81.
Total number of columns,

Total length of columns,
inches, 21,6O0.
Number of words for one
cent, $500.
If the columns were
placed end to end they
would reach over one-third
of a mile. Just think Of
