Her InsDiratiOn.-

1t is amusing to watch the attempt of
many aspiring artists to cover the defects
of bad drawing. Some will put a bunch of
flowers at the throat of subject to hide an
i'll drawn neck, or hide horses feet, or
lower legs in long grass. But Washington
has one lady artist who is above these
things. 1t would seem that clouds are be-
yond her skill, and in one rather imposing
picture by this genius they are represented
by a rather peculiar looking white space.
Her explanation was, to say the least, in
genious. She said:
You know whenever I paint I have a
vision of what my picture should be when
1t is finished. When l have these visions
1 must not be disturbed or they will flee
like the mountain mist commenced this
painting you see on the easel while in Paris
One day decided to give dinner party to
some of my artist friends, and on the morn
ing of that very day 1 felt that my vision
was at hand. at once gave orders to my
servants about the dinner, gave positive
commands that on no account should be
disturbed and then locked myself in my
studio. Soon after the vision came. All,
but it was beautiful could see the bright
rays of the sun shining through some little
fieecy clouds, touching all of the landscape
with glorious softness.

work, gathering new inspiration each mo-
ment. l had all but finished. Only the
clouds were left, when, to my horror, 1
heard knock at my door. paid no at
tention to it, but it was repeated again
and again till at last l was compelled to
cry, "Who is there?" 1t was the cook ,
who had come to tell me that the cream
was sour. ''Foolp' / cried, why did you

back to my work, but the vision was gone.
Never again have been able to recall it,
and that is why my clouds are still unfin-

How "a Newsboy Collected a Bill.

There is a south side boy who is bound
to be a Napoleon in finance if he lives.
His age is fourteen, and little while ago
he ran IL newspaper route. A certain south
side doctor was his customer, and when
the physicians bill reached one dollar the
boy presented it. 1t was hard to collect.
The boy called several times. but the doc
tor never had the dollar. The physician
moved away and the lad lost sight of him
for n time, but finally located him on the
west side and renewed his attacks.
At last one day he told his mother he
would make one more effort and then if
that were not successful he would give it
up. Accordingly he went to the doctors
office and found the doctor out. But in
side of the door hung the customary slate.
On it the boy wrote: Call at
street. William Smith, The doctor
called and the boy saw him coming up the
street. He told his mother what he had
done, and said: Now, will go and hide
and you can show him the bill" Il will
do nothing of the kind. Willie Smith, y
said the lady, land you ought to be
ashamed of yourself" A young lady
visitor in the family thought more of the
scheme and, confronting the doctor at the
door, presented the bill. The professional
man said that the joke was on him, paid
the dollar and went away laughing

Rapid Track Laying.

An act Of congress allowed the Central
Pacific to build It's line eastward until it
met that of the Union Pacific.
Inasmuch as every mile of road brought
with it a subsidy in bonds and land from
the United States, there was a race be-
tween the two roads. AS the tracks neared
each other the pace became rapid. The
Union company laid a little over four
miles in one day. Soon afterward the
Central company completed six miles in a
day. The Union company eXcelled that
feat by laying eight miles.
Mr.. Charles Croker, who was pushing
forward the Central, said, Wen take off
our coats and beat them, but we won't
try it until we are SO close that they won't
have chance to get back at u.s." When
the Central approached within fourteen
miles of the Union the final struggle be-
gan.
I'VE are going to lay ten miles of track
in one day; you can make up your mind to
that" said Mr.. Croker to his foreman,
who had expressed doubts of the POSSIBLE
lty of utilizing men enough to do the work.
Il have been thinking the matter over
for fortnight, and 1 know what l am
about. Each trainload will contain ma
terials enough for two miles. AS soon as
one train has dropped it's load, forward
the rails as fast as the men can carry
them. Then bring up and unload another
train.
'Have your men in readiness for spik-
ing. Let the first man drive in only one
particular spike, and pass on from one
rail to another; let the man who follows
him drive in the second spike on the same
rail, and SO ON. See that you have enough
spikes on hand, SO that no man stops fer
an instant or passes another man. Then
let the straighteners follow, and see that
they advance without stop or hitch. Close
on their heels, but not SO close as to inter
fere, bring forward the Jewelers. and fill

Mr. Bancroft, who describes the scene
in CHRONICLES of the Builders" quotes an
eyewitness, general officer.
1T was" said he, las If an army
marched over the ground and left behind
it q railroad finished. 1 rode beside the
workmen and at times the track was laid
as fast rs my horse could walk
Ten miles and 1856 feet additional were
laid in that Gay of days in the history of
track laying.

Has It's Teeth in It's stomach.

There is a curious snake (Hydraci Yeti
in South Africa that lives wholly upon
birds eggs 1t has no teeth or signs of
teeth in the mouth, its whole dental array
being located in the stomach. auckland
says that they are not true teeth, but that
they serve all purposes. They grow from
the center of each vertebra. They pass
through the walls Of the stomach and are
covered with enamel, just like true teeth.
This is natures provision for breaking
eggs without running the risk of losing
the precious contents, as would be the case
if this egg eating serpent had its teeth in
the proper place. When the egg is safely
inside, the abdominal walls contract and
crush it against that long row of vertebral
teeth.-St. Louis Republic.

Meerschaun Carving.

Vienna is the greatest center for meer-
schaum carving, which has attained a very
high artistic development. The raw ma
terial comes in such odd shapes that much
skill is exercised in obtaining from each
piece a pipe that shall be as large and
well shaped as possible. The rough block
is first soaked in water to make it soft,
when it can be cut as readily as cheese.
After the carving is completed the final
polishing is done by women with fine sand
paper and kind of grass.-Interview in

Another packed house at the Bijou
last night again attested the popularity
Of those two charmingly unctious speci-
mems Of humoristic individuality called
4 The Two Old Cronies, = and, needless
to say, better pleased audience has
never assembled in this favorite resort.
John B. Wills is comedian Of rare
merit, and he has q future before him
Of the brightest kind Of success. His
humor is Of that quaint order and nat
ural righteousness that provokes spon-
taneous response from an audience
without q seeming effort. Monte
Collins is another Of the same order,
although possessing different elements
in the production Of his work. Still it
is seen that a master hand is at the
helm, guiding the boat that is laden
with fun to the shores successfully
His makeup in the second act is a
sight not to be forgotten. 1t is study
in the ludierous. Norma Wills is still
a creature Of beauty and a JOY forever,
and always a favorite in Nashville.
Miss Marshall must not be forgotten,
