Having Fun With Sarah.

Paris Letter.
Most amusing accounts have been
received here from Australia concern
ing the arrival at Sydney of Sarah Bern
hardt. 1t appears that the people there
are in such mortal terror of hydrOpho-
bia that no dogs are permitted to land
until thew have undergone quarantine.
This, of course, vastly distressed Nine.
Bernhardt, who expressed the greatest
reluctance to separate herself, even
temporarily, from her two dogs, Chou
cite and Star-the one very big and the
other very small-both of which are
well known in America. Indeed, it
required the interference of the police to
separate her from the animals on
landing.
On the following day the government
was officially asked in parliament what
step it intended to take with regard to
Sarah's dogs. and the member who put
the motion expressed the hope that the
cabinet would not permit itself to be
influenced by the golden voice. of the
divine Sarah to suspend the law in
manner that might prove preiudiciel to
the safety of the public. The prime
minister-Sir Henry Parkes-resp0nded
and gave satisfactory assurances that
no exception would be made in the case
of her dogs. The government, how
ever, relented so far as to permit the
two animals to undergo their quarantine
at the Pasteur institute OH Rodd island
instead of being committed to the or
binary canine quarantine station with
mere vulgar everyday ours.

returned here her experience was
series of pronounced failures. All of
her beauty had been swallowed up in a
load of excessive weight. The only eX-
ercise that Miss Templeton would take
was riding, because, as she said, the
horse did most of the work.
Prima donnaS do not ride nowadays.
They fence and use dumbbells, but most
OF them exercise by walking. The.
walks are begun in the morning, when
there are no crowds to stare. The act
resses eschew Russian baths, for it has
become generally recognized that the
Russian bath makes one who is any
wise inclined to stoutness so thirsty that
weight is nut OH instead of taken off by
the excessive consumption of fluids
after the bath. The principal means
used for the reduction of fat among
actresses is that of dieting and restric
tion in the quantity of fluids of all
kinds, particularly champagne and
beer. People who look upon stage divin-
tiles as beings who pass their lives in a
delirious round of pleasures, with per-
petual flow of champagne on one hand
and acres of huckleberry pie on the
other, are very wide of the mark.

MINNEAPOLIS:
EXPOSITION NOTES.

AS the days roll by the merchants who
are to have space in the Exposition
building are getting their goods into
place and their workmen are kept busy
arranging the different exhibits.
The grotto in which the fish exhibit
will be shown is attracting great
amount of attention from the many Wis
itors who have been thronging the
building.
In consequence of the large number
of people who have been visiting the
Exposition building. Manager Brackett
has found it necessary to restrict them
from coming in. Cards Of admission
have been prepared for the use of work
men and exhibitors, good until the day
of opening, Aug. 20.
The wOrkmen are placing the plants
and flowers in the center of the fort,
these to form beautiful figures and de-
signs.
The story of the escape of the i'm
mense snake from the Exposition build

comment. When the little girls, who
are to take part in the concerts to be
given by the pupils of Prof. Raymond:

THE MAN Is LOOKING.
Some Things Debutantes Should
Remember.

The man in the moon is very intelli-
gent person, says Ruth AshmOre in the
August Ladies' Home Journal. He sees
a great many things that he never tells
about, but in this gay summer time
won't you be little careful that when
he looks down on you he will be
able to gossip to the stars and the daily
newspapers about what you are doing
because it is so innocent? Won't
you just remember that while the
moon looks down on you sailing at
night alone with some favored admirer
he is thinking to himself all the time
''How foolish that girl is to go out with
Just that one man! He cannot talk to
her and manage the boat, too, and there
is certain to be trouble. Why in the
world did she not have whole party
come out with her?" Now, that is a
very wise thought of the gentleman
who lives up in the moon. Then, when
he sees you strolling through the woods
mile from home, and only one of the
most charming fellows in the world
with you; sees you hunting for wild
flowers under his dim light, and
notices the immense amount of
interest that you take in each
other, he apparently shrugs his Shout
ners and thinks out loud, well, well,
What lot of foolishness there is in
girls, anyway. She will catch cold out
in the night air with nothing around
her; she won't find half as many flow
ers as she would if my friend, the sun,
was shining bright, and she will prob
ably trip over stone or a fallen
branch. Even if she wanted to come
out just to talk to the young man she is
very foolish, because he would think
she was great deal more desirable
if she insisted OH staying at
home and sitting OIL the veranda,
where all the rest of the people are.
He could talk to her quietly, and he
would think how much nicer it was for
her to be there than to be out rambling
in the woods even with him, for if she
went with him it is just possible she
might go with any other man who asked
her." The man in the moon is very,
very wise. He has looked down upon
millions and billions of girls, and he
knows what he is talking about; and if
you take his advice and mine the little
bit of sweethearting that goes OH under
the moonlight will be where all the rest
of the people are.
