She WAS Cufcu.
An incident which is said to have taken
place recently in Paris may be of use to
some of our girl readers
A Young woman of high culture and
gentle breeding had been obliged to earn
her living as a governess and grew impa-
tent of the monotony of her life and its
few chances of advancement. She fancled
that she had great histrionic talent and
that she could amaze the world and make
q fortune on the stage.
She went to a well known tragedian and
told him her story and her ambltlons.
Now, the tragedian happened, fortunately,
to be a man of much sense and kindness of
heart. He did not tell her that she lacked
ability, knowing that she would not be-
lieve him.
"You shall choose for yourself, madam
oiselle,' he said, "but you should see this
fa;ryland close at hand before you enter 1t. !"
~ 90 to the theatre every night, mon
sieurw she exclaimed.
"Ah, yes Before the curtain! For one
month you shall have a seat behind the
curtain. If at the end of that time you
wish to become an actress l promise my
aid to you"
A line from him to the stage manager
procured for her chair in the wings.
There she sat night after night, not seeing
the enchantment, the fun, the brilliant, gay
touches which made picture for the spec
tators, but the coarse canyases, the ma
chinery, the paint and the dirt, the hard
monotonous work, the jealousy and squab
blings, the weariness of body and soul out
of which the players made the picture
Other sights and sounds there were, too
which terrified and sickened the modest
woman.
Before the first week was over she left
the place in the coulisse never to return
declaring her gratitude to the man who
had so shrewdly interposed to save her
Canadian Queen.

WASHINGTON, April e.-The Dupont;
powder mills near Wilmington, Del, Will
put in a plant for the fabrication OF gun,
cotton and smokeless powder for naval
uses, the government institution at New"

pose. The torpedo station there is not
capable of accommodating at the same

impossible to increase the manufacturing

perts, and it has been decided that the
time has arrived when this class of powder
should be made in this country.

followed the birds admit the claim. The
birds are thin and poor when they first ap-
pear in the inland lakes, but they find the
same food as in the eastern marshes, and
soon attain excellent condition and are free
from the sedgy flavor of birds killed on the
salt water Canvasbacks are the last 10
appear in the west. They are preceded in
order as they are named, by the blue winged
teal, the mallards and widgcons. The old
controversy over the CHASING of the canvas
back is still going on. Naturalists class
him among sea ducks, but the western
sportsmen are touchy on the point and
claim him as fresh water bird. They
have some strong support in the statistics,
which show that thousands are shot in the
west every year.
A good thing for the sportsman of either
east or west to remember is that the ducks
seek the windward side of the marshes. IL
the wind is blowing from the north 1t Is
sensible to go TO the northward TO make
stand, and If from the west to look through
the western reed grass, and so on. Re
member, too, that the frequent and seem
ingly erratic movements of the BIRDS are
for the purpose of procuring food. By
watching the wind and bearing these simple
facts in mind the sportsman can precede
his birds to a certain spot. In shallow
marshes change of wind means a change
in the depth of the water-that Is, less wa
ter TO windward-and knowing this the
shoal feeding ducks fy against the wind

arson. and an attempt to assault Kate
Schumpff, a comely girl of "a Bergman,
came to Carbondale nearly year ago, ana
secured board with the family of Mr.;
Schumpff, father of Katie. He professed
love for the girl, but his eccentric conducO
induced the family to notliy
him TO seek another boarding
house. On Saturday Bergman
attempted to hang himself, but was cut
down. Yesterday, during the absence of
Mr.. Schumph he made an ASSAULT on
Katie. The screams of the girl brought
her mother to the scene, and Bergman
nearly succeeded in strangling both wo-
men. Then he collected what valuables
be could find about the house, attempted
TO set it on fire. and escaped to the woods,
where he was captured last night by Con-
stable Moran.

ury department. Not more than twenty
of these counterfeits have come into the
bands Of the treasury officials. The ex-
tent of their circulation. however, is not
known, as they bear so close a resem blance
TO the genuine note that they can not be
readily detected except by experts. The
issue of the regular series of the s. silver
certificate has been suspended and arrange
ments are being made for the issue of a
substitute. The original bears the por-
trait OF Gen. Hancock and the substitute

It was on suburban train coming into
jersey City. A bald headed, fussy looking
mxl, with pair of spectacles on his nose
and his hat on the seat beside him, kept
rubbing his pate in nervous way and
hitching about On the seat as If he was
afraid of tacks. Opposite him sat man
who was closely watching bis movements
and chuckling and grinning until the at
tention of dozen people was attracted.
He was finally asked to explain, and he
said:

my hat, stepped on my toes and elbowed
my ribs, and didn't apologize. l deter

"That paper is just three years old today.

The old fellow struck the headlines of a
railroad accident, looked puzzled, bobbed
up and down. and slowly shook his head.
He jumped from that TO a murder-on to
news from Washington-and for minute
was interested in the stock market. Then
he folded the paper up, removed his glasses
and looked out of the window with d
troubled expression on his face.

intense interest. The majority of the de-
PENDANTS plead absolute ignorance OF the

A Neapolitan who said he had been
asked to pay to keep his name from the
list of informers, revealed the names OF
many members of the society. including

ikEaYETTE,S STATUE,

WASHINGTON, April 8-The new Lafay-
cite statue. which stands in the historic
square opposite the executive mansion,
was erected Saturday and has since been
viewed by many thousands OF people
There is much comment on the fact that
the statue is not veiled, and it does seem
as il the compliment paid this country by
French artists should be acknowledged by
a formal unveillng and by keeping the
statue covered till the day of the cere-
,nony. Tt is not improbable this monu-
ment will be the subject of good deal OF
unpleasant discussion. The figure OF Llo-
erty reclining at the base OF the statue,
holding a sword aloft for Lafayette's hand
to seize, is rather too nude and voIuptuous
even for a goddess OF liberty.
The feature of the new monument most
unpleasantly criticised Is the size OF the
heads of the two cherubs or cuplds, or
whatever they are, which adorn the north
side of the column. These little fellows
have heads so abnormally dubious that
neither of them could wear the large cha
peau of Lafayette or of either of his COM
natriots who stand on the east and on the
west sides. These boyish heads are SO
large as to be ridiculous. If the project TO
give France a monument of Washington
IN return for this gift from the French be
carried out, it is hoped the artist VIII
avoid putting No. Q heads on No: boys.
Mrs. Justice Field is president OF tne asso-
citation having the proposed washington
statue in charge, and she says:
'The Virginia legislature meets next De
cember and our request to be permitted to
have a cast of the Houdon statue at Rlch-
mond may be presented then. Governor
Mckinney did not refuse our request be-
cause he did not care to assume any re
sponsibility in the matter as was reported
at the time. He refers US to the general
assembly because he has no right to decide
the matter owing TO the control of the
statue being vested in the assembly.
Some years ago something had been done
TO the statue and law was passed to the
effect that hereafter nothing should be
done with Houdon's Washington except
by permission of the assembly. A large
amount of money has already been Sc
cured, and there will be no difficulty IN
raising it. In order to facilitate matters
and assure the assembly that no harm can
possibly come from having a cast MADE

NEhRIX FRANTIC.

Has it ever been your misfortune to be
brought into frequent contact with per-
son excessively nervous? If so, you must
be aware that trivial causes, unnotlced by
the vigorous, drive a nervous invalid to
the verge of distraction. 1t is as unneces-
sary to particularize these as it is imposol-
BILE to guard against them. The root of
the evil is usually imperfect digestion and
assimilation. To assist these functions,
and through their renewed, complete dis
charge to reinforce weak nerves, IN con-
junction with other portions of the physi-
cal organism, is within the power OF Hos
