Yandea, ScuIpturn she has executed
many historic and classical groups.
Miss Curry Duke is the beautiful daugh-
ter Of General Basil W. Duke, of Confed-
crate fame, and niece OF the noted General
John Morgan. She is the incarnation of
music-a latter day edition of ST. Cecilia,
whose soul is all a-tune with divine har-
monies. The violin is her instrument, and
the rare old Stradivarius that she loves
seems instinct with rhythmical emotions
in the embrace of this slender child of
genius. Miss Duke has been a favored
pupil of the great Joachim, in Berlin, for
several years.
She is exquisitely pretty, with an appeal
ing childishness of expression, great lus-
trous brown eyes and skin like polished
ivory She has been stepped in admiration
and adulation from her very babyhood,
and yet is unspoiIed, ''unspotted from the
world" and almost sublimated by the
magic influence of her art.

wife of a wealthy Cincinnatian, and q
woman Of marvellous social power. I'm

has followed the lead Of her great ambi-
ton and devoted herself TO the stage

Nine. de Stael's phenomenal brilliancy
was inadequate to dissipate the shadow on
her life cast by her morbid yearning for
beauty and the love that is its accompani-
mept. George Eliot, too, the master mind
Of the age among women, felt her life
robbed Of half its meaning through lack
of physical charm.
There are occasions, however, when
Dame Nature contradIcts herself and is as
capricious as the rest of her sex. Then her
masterpieces are accomplished. 1t was
doubtless in one of her whimsical moods
that she planned such woman as Amelie
Rives Chanler, who has been lowered with
considerably more than her share of coveted
attributes-beauty, talent, money, position
and magnetism-whoh has been more talked
about and written about and pietorially
delineated than any other half dozen young
American women. At the home of her
girlhood, Castle Hill she is now the center
OF brilliant company of social and liter
airy lights. A strong thing from her pen,
now onlYin manuscript, is drama, Henry

Science Applied to Agriculture.

A writer who believes in the department
Of agriculture and in the value OF i'm
proved methods of farming says:
"A fine example of what science has
done for agriculture is found in the mat
ter of resting the soil by rotation of crops.
1t took the world a long time 10 find out
that a change of crop, when properly
made, rests the soil rs we'll as following; q
long time TO learn that an increase OF
live stock on a farm, under certain condi-
tons, increases It's fertility; q long time TO
learn that artificial drainage warns and
hghtens cold and heavy soils, advancing
the harvest by weeks and bringing the
subSoil to the support of the impoverished
surface, by which, as some one has said,
we find a new farm under the old. or as
Emerson graphically put it. BY drainage
we have gone TO the subsoii, and we have
a Concord under Concord, MIddlesex IN

Massachusetts, more valuable than the
guperstructure' These things were not
learned By accident, bnt were demonstrate
ed by the application Of scientific princi-

She was formerly Miss Catherine Cogswill,
of Minneapolis, reigning belle and beauty,
and her public career is matter of no
small interest to those who have watched
the various phases of her life.
Endowed with graces mental and phys
ical, and with romantic career thrown
into the bargain, is a lovely daughter of
General John S. Mosby, the guerrilla
chieftain" of the war.
Miss Victoria Stuart Mosbyis beautiful.
erratic, gifted, charming. She has fear
less picturesqueness in dress-an almost
masculine taste for out of door sports. She
is an artist of ability and an author of no
small reputation Her contributions adorn
the pages of many leading publications.
She is a brilliant and original CONVEX
sationist. Her features are as clear cut
as a cameo, and her hair is like gold
brown aureole.
Miss Mosby has been before the public
of late as the heroine of sensational af-
fair, the hero being her lover, who was
accused of being one and the same with
Shoebox Miller, an ex-convict. Miss Mos
by is firmly convinced of the innocence of
her fance, whom she met first at the house
of Polish nobleman in Washington. She
has written some excellent stories on hyp-
notism.
