Rosa Bonheur.

In an interesting sketch of the mode of
life OF the famous French painter, Rosa
Bonheur, recent writer says: That Rosa
Bonheur dresses in male attire has often
been commented upon 10y her biographers
The idea commonly obtains that it is her
usual costume. But if You should meet
her in the streets of Paris you would see n
large, elderly lady, rather plainly dressed
in black, her gray hair tucked under a
close bonnet; and unless you were attract
ed by the peculiar strength of her face and
by her piercing, attentive eyes, you would
not notice that she differed from any lady
in the passing crowd, except that she wears
the red ribbon of The Legion d'Honneur.
But Rosa Bonheur at work in her home
does wear male cos 5ume
Years ago, when she was young woman
and "A student, she adopted it because it
gave her more freedom in her studies at
the menageries ana cattle yards Dressed
as boy she attracted less comment and
attention from the hangers on of the sta
bles than if she hal gone among them in
petticoats. Rosa lIonheur appreciates the
good qualities of the blouse. and at work
now she still keeps to this easy garment,
having added to it the ordinary mans
trousers. which make her feet appear very
small. and also wide brimmed felt or
straw hat. lii this dress she appears of
much lower stature than in woman's APP
parei, and looks like u remarkably well
preserved middle aged man"

ENGLISH SURNAMeS.

Them Are Pronounced as Spelled.
1t is an oft repeated accusation against
the English tongue that spelling cannot be
called matter of rule" for even in COM
monplace words "ough" has half a dozen
sounds separate and distinct; but when it
comes to surnames, as pronounced in Eng
land, confusion becomes worse confounded

scions of noble houses should be so careful

who is satisfied with anyth ny longer than
the clipped "Marshbanks' and "Chum-

arrived at "Cahoon" and "Weems" will be
riddle to photographers for ages to come
Of course, large nun Der of British
houses claim Norman descent. and natu-
rally demand pure or half pure French
pronunciation. So the "Beauclerks" and
''Willoughhy De Eresbys' become in no
lite circles "Willoughby De Erebys" and
"Beauclarcs;" but to account for ''Walde-
grave" being "Walgrave," est. John"
'Sinjin," or st. Leger'' ''Silleger" is a
harder matter.
A large number of well known names
change their o's into us, such as ''Convng-
ham," "Monson" and "Ponsonby," while
"Blount" becomes Blunt" and "Du-
chesne" becomes "Ducane" Most sur
names beginning with Beau" alter their
pronunciation considerably, for instance:
De BeaUvoir" changes to DE Beever''
and the famous "Beau-hamns" are all
'Beechams. Indeed, to take the peerage

What Hurts a Town.

Under the above head an exchange
has the following in relation to the
different kind of men who hurt a
town, which is peculiarly applicable
to certain individuals in Morris, who
are inclined to oppose all improve
ments unless they can see some pc
culinary benefit to themselves: All
who oppose improvements. Who new
er push their business. All who dis
trust public spirited men. Men who
envy the prosperity of a neighbor.
Those who run down town to
strangers. Men who oppose every
thing that does not originate with
them. Who find fault with all the
enterprises with which they are not
connected. Who think all systems Of
theology except their own are enor-
nous. Who refuse to subscribe tow
ard the building of schools and
churches. Men who wear long faces
when strangers speak of locating in
the town. Who oppose every enter
prise which is not likely to be of Pc
culinary benefit to themselves. Men
who never subscribe, advertise in, or
in any way patronize their local pap
er, and are always ready to find fault
with everything that it contains.

A Warning-DOn't Use Big Words.

In promulgating esoteric cogitations
or articulating superficial sentimental
tiles and philosophical or psychological
observations, beware of platitudinous
ponderosity. Let you statements pos
sess q clarified consciousness, compacted
omprehensibleness coaiesent consist
ency and a concentrated cogency. Es-
chew all conglomerations of flatulent
garrulity, jejune babDlement and asin-
inc Alterations. In. trying to impress on
others the superiority of the Wisconsin
Central Lines and why you and so many
others use this thoroughfare from st.
Paul and Minneapolis and Duluth and
Ashland to Milwaukee, Chicago and
points east and south, is not necessary
to use jawbreakers. Let your extempo-
raneous descanting and unprecedented
expatiations have intellgibility and va
racious vivacity, without rhodomontade
or thrasonical bombast. iSedulously
avoid all polysyllabic profundity, psit-
taceous vacuity, ventrlloqual verbosity
and vandiloquent vapidity, shun double
entendres, prurient jocosity and pesti-
ferrous profanity, obscurent or apparent
In other words talk plainly, naturally,
sensiLly and truthfully say the Wiscon-
sin Central Lines is THE route and that
ends it. Aft

Mr.. Smith thinks, continued Mr.. Hill,
that he can secure thirty and guaran-

each with which to begin farming OPP

An Iron Bridge.

| At the recent meeting of the county
board County Commission Milo Camp
moved and advocated appropriation
of $500 for constructing an iron bridge
across the Pomme de Terre river, on
the road recently laid out between
here and Hancock. The motion was
adopted, and to Mr.. Camp is due the
thanks of the people of Morris and
Hancock, as well as the travelling pub
lie generally, for the stand taken by
him in favor of good highways.
The following committee was APP
pointed by the board to contract for
the building of said bridge, viz: Camp,
Thorpe, Dye. On Monday last the
committee met in this city with Mr..
S. E. Dibley, agent of the Wisconsin
Iron Bridge Co. After canvassing the
matter thoroughly, the committee
closed contract with Mr.. Dibley to
construct a combination iron bridge,
69 feet long, for $475, to be completed
ready for crossing by the 18th of next
May.
The bridge will be located on the
east side of the Great Northern track,
near the water tank. Some filling for
the approaches will have to be made,
which will probably cost $25 or more,
so that the entire cost of the bridge
will not be far from $500, the amount
appropriated by the board.
This bridge, when completed, will
undoubtedly be the best bridge in the
county. The board acted wisely in
deciding to construct an iron bridge.
Next summer we expect to have the
pleasure of driving over the new road
between Morris and Hancock, the con-
of which was earnestly advo-
Gated by the TRIBUNE.
