prominent society woman in New York,

Jonathan Scott Hartley, who has been
engaged by the Cushman association to
make the large statue of Charlotte Cush-
man, has long ranked high as a sculptor.
He was born Sept. 90, 1916, in Albany,
and begun to work in marble at an early
age. In 1869. after passing three years
in England, he gained a silver medal at
the Royal academy. After long terms
in Germany, France and Italy he located
in New York, where he founded the
S~almagundi Sketch club and gained the
gold medal of the American Art associa-
ton in 1888. His productions are to be
seen in many places in the United States.

Eyes OF Different People.

Eyes have always been regarded as q
sure tribal characteristic. Tacitus, for
example, describes the Germans as
"fsrce, with blue eyes and red hair"
The Cefts are mentioned as being swarthy
skinned and black eyed; the Gauls are
red haired and light eyed, while the MI
bians, the Turks, the Egyptians and the
Italians have always been spoken of as
1.-THE dark eyed races" These peculiari-
ties have not changed. Even today the
people Of the temperate zones have gen.
orally light colored eyes, while those of
the torrid and the frigid zones are usu-
ally dark, or even black. OF the races
in particular, the only one that a be
said to be eight eyed"is the Caucasian,
and even IN this race the eyes are by no
means uniform in point of color.
The whole period of human history
goes to prove that the light haired, blue
eyes C are capable Of the highest de-
gree Of civilization, but it does not by any
means follow that the highest degree of
civilization is confined topeople of blonde
complexion. There was a time when a
blue eyed person was rarely seen. and
today seven-eighths Of the worlds in
habitants have dark eyes. Lavater,
when discussing the eye as a feature In
national physiognomy, gave the follow
ing as the results of his observations:
"The Italians have small eyes; the Ger
mans, light colored eyes surrounded by
many wrinkles; the English, strong,
open, steadfast eyes; and the Swiss, eyes
that are very dull looking."-St. Louis
Rapnblic.

Hon. Ignatius Donnelly, of Minnesota,
is sometimes humorously spoken of as
the s'stormy petrol of American politics
and literature" as he is apt to be on
hand when there is active discussion of
novel themes. He was born in Phila-
delphia, Nov. 8, 1881, received a COM
mon school education, studied law and
went to Minnesota, where he was elected
lieutenant governor in 1863 and 1861,
and then went to congress, serving there
from December, 1868, to March, 1869.
Since then he has been activein literature,
being famous for his "Ragnarok, "At-
%lantis," and work on Shakespeare. His
sister, Miss Eleanor Cecilia, is noted both
as a singer and poet, and has received
the special benediction of Pope Leo XIII
for her writings on religious topics.

B~ernhardt and Fanny Davenport
take to uncanny things like liz
ards and snakes, but few women
happily sympathize with such tastes. A
noted dog fancier in New York declares
that he has a record of three thousand
choice dogs owned by women IN that
CITY. OF course with some of these 1t Is
a mere matter of following the fashion,
land some have dogs thrust upon Them"
so to speak. In that clever book, "lhe
Anglomaniacs," the most heroic step
Mrs. F%loyd-Curtis has to take in her
social progress is when she conquers her
natural repugnance to lapdogs.
The gradual stages by which h
arrives at the point of being able to cover
her poodle with kisses and %endearing
French names is very amusingly set
forth. But many women do really love
their dogs, especially if they cost a lot Oh
money and happen to be just in style,
for the old adage, every dog has its
day." may be applied generically as well
as specifically. A few years ago the
cross, fluffy Spitz was all the rage;
poodles, spaniels and pugs reigned in
turn, and now terriers-black and tan,
Skye, Scotch and Yorkshire are in vogue.
Mrs. Frank Leslie owns a tiny specimen
Of the latter breed, which she carries
back and forth every day from her home
TO her office. Bebe has a basket and a
hair brush each place, "a plain one here
and a handsome one at home" says
sweet voiced Mrs. Leslie, picking up the
tiny, silky bundle from the red cushioned
basket. "She is q darling nuisance, Her
hair has to be brushed and the amber
ribbon she always wears has to be re-
tied dozens of times every day Bebe's
first owner, a Canadian dog ~fancier, sent
a number Of Yorkshires to the dog show
in New York. But Mrs. Leslie, who
knows all about dogs and their different
dispositions, wanted one of sthe faith

Professor Briggs teachings, was born
April II, 1912, in birmingham, Mass,
graduated at Amherst in 1866, and
studied theology at Halle and Leipsic.
After a few years work as an educator
he became pastor of the Congregational
church at Lenox, Mass, in 1874. In 1880
he was called TO the p~astorate of the
Madison Square Presbyterian church, in

ing but small rugs mere ana there, n
can be stained any desired shade, then
rubbed with linseed oil to give it q slight
polish. If the plain oil be put once or
twice a week on a pine floor the boards
will soon turn dark without stain. Ii
the floor is not good, fill the cracks for a
foot or two from the walls with putty,
then paint a wide border of dark brown.
This can be rubbed each week with kero-
sene. the odor of which soon evaporates.
An art square or ingram rug may be
laid in the center, if it can be afforded.
One measuring 8 by 81 yards costs about
ten dollars, and the artistic shades are
terra Gotta or dull blue, the latter being
cooler looking for summer wear. That
color may be the keynote to the shades
in the room.
A carpenter can be got to put down
over an old floor a new n of hard pine,
in fine boards, closely Joined, strong
enough to last for years. This can be
oiled and left bare in summer, and per-
haps carpeted in winter. The cost will
range from fifteen to twenty dollars per
room, a cheap investment in the end.
Next change the curtains, not leaving
any heavy window draperies up. As
summer is not the time for long curtains,
small dotted Swiss ones, draped close to
the panes, will look well. About four
Yards will be required for each window,
which, at fifteen cents a yard, and the
same for lace, will make q total of $500
for three windows. The shades may be
left as before, and the cord or ribbon for
looping back the Swiss curtains will make
their cost about four dollars.
For the rest, get out all the heavy
stuffed furniture you can and change
the position Of what is left. The sofa
and large chairs belonging to a suit a
be put away for a time. They will seem
quite new when fall comes. Replace
the sofa by a couch, made either out of
a large packing box II on a cot The
cot is the best when one is liable to have
unexpected guests and has not much
spare room. A good cot with woven
wire springs costs $3.50. Make it soft
with comfortables and quilts. and cover
it with blue denim worked in gold rope
Or heavy gold floss in a bold Grecian
border. Pillows covered with the same

and common to read about, it can be

II begins to look as though prohi-
bltlon ~ q political ides will hereaf-
ter find no place In the platforms Of
the Republican party Of Kansas.
Republicans who have for years al
lowed themselves to be dominated
and ruled by the ultra-prohibItion
element Of the party are swaking to
the fact that ~ . party the Republi-
cans have lost rather than gained by
the course taken la the last ten

Last week Secretary Of State Hig-
gins wrote . letter to Manhattan

tocsIn Of the movement. He de-
clared that the Republicans would
never again endorse prohibition,
and it is certain that they will not.
So far this year no Republican con-
vention held In the state has incor-
Porated the Idea into its platform.
Hereafter, n prohibition esnnet

plete failure, "hopes" TO reap .
bountiful return next year. But
probably the sick room has greater
use for the little word. The mother,
as she teDdeTly cares for slek child,
"hopes" constantly for Its recovery.
Every move that Is made for lts re-
