that remains of man is art For ex-
ample, the Phenicians were without
dolbt wonderful people, but they had
no art, aud there is almost nothing that
remains to us of them"
Two other American girls, now in
| Rome, have had interesting careers
Miss Luella Varney and Miss Adelaide
Johnson. The latter has triumphed
over extraordinary misfortunes. She
was born at Plymouth, Ills, and obtained
! some training at the School Of Design in
BIT. Louis, where she learned TO carvein
wood. This only excited her ambition
to work in marble, so she toiled long
and hard as a wood carver to earn the
money needed for an art education.
Having at last obtained sum sufficient
for one term at the Chicago Art school,
she went to that city, and while in the
Central station her pocket was picked
and she lost every cent. Without vast
ing an hour in useless repining she hunt
ed a dressmaking establishment and
was soon SO skillful in that line that she
could earn dollar dayl
Having saved thirty dollars she began
work on her own account, and, as she
naively says, sometimes made as much
as fifteen dollars a week." In no long
time she was able to fit up a studio, and
orders came in 50 fast that with friend
she took rooms at the Palmer House,
and was making rapid progress when
the great misfortune came. She fell
down the elevator well at Music hall,
falling fifteen feet and striking on the
stone pavement. For months she lay
upon couch, with heavy weights hold
ing her dislocated limbs in place, bnt
her friends gave benefit entertainment
for her in Music hall, she obtained dam
ages from the elevator company and
then started for Rome "on a crutch and
a cane"
Her success has been great. Her first
notable work was the execution Of busts
of General and Mrs. Logan, and she has
never since lacked patrons. Her home
is in Washington city, but she has re-

prominent in the Society Of Friends,
even as far back as John Rogers, and
my passion for the beautiful in form and
coloring was always locked tight in my
own heart. When we moved to Cleve-
land my study Of the classics and Ro-

expression took possession Of me-"
She began to model in clay, and
worked with very little instruction till
she obtained a commission TO execute a
bust of Judge Andrews New York
court Of appeals), and on that encour-
agement she went 10 Rome, where hard
work has brought success. Her portrait
busts are noted for fidelity 10 the origi-
mails.
Another Illinois girl who has won
fame is Miss Ida J. Burgess, who is now
decorating the two rooms in the Illinois
state building Of the exposition over
which women will have charge. These
are the reception room and library, and
Miss Burgess designs were selected at
sight out Of large number presented.
She has decorated several Of the best
houses in Chicago, and her most noted
productions are friezes Of roses and sun
flowers, but the most elaborate probably
is the ceiling Of a large ballroom in the
residence OF W. a. Fuller, on Michigan
avenue. She has studied at Cooper in
stitute and in Paris. The above men
toned are but a few of the many Amer
lean young women Of marked artistic
ability and success. Apparently the

gan supreme court, has been resident
Of Charlotte, Mich, since 1866. He wa
born at Hartford, in 1s43, at the ago
Of twelve years moved with his pa
rents TO Ohio, and a year later entered
the Michigan state university as a stu
dent. He graduated from the law de-
partment in 1865, was admitted to the
bar, and after few months in Ohio To-
Gated permanently in Charlotte. A year
after his arrival he was elected county
superintendent Of schools In 1869
he was elected justice Of the peace
and served three years, was elected
prosecuting attorney and served four
years, and in 1873 was appointed judge
Of the Fifth judicial district, TO fill va
cancy. He has served fourteen years on
the bench.
John W. Northrop, Populist candidate
in the Eighteenth Ohio district, is the
mayor Of the Quaker town Of Salem. He
is fifty years of age and a native of New
York. His youth was spent on farm.
At the outbreak Of the war he enlisted
in the Seventy-sixth New York infantry
and served two years. Soon after the
close Of the contest he established a re-
form paper at Parish, Oswego county,
N. Y. In 1879 he went TO Ohio and pub
lished The Buckeye Vidette at Bryan.
He removed 10 Salem in 1888 and started
The Daily News, continuing its publica-
ton until 1890
L. w. Hull, Republican candidate in
the Thirteenth Ohio district, lives at
Upper Sandusky. He is engaged in
farming and stock raising. He was

fortune. As was but natural, the New
World was first in giving women the
larger freedom, though England was not
far behind.
Mrs. Felicia Hemans NEE Browne) is
said to have "read Shakespeare under
standing1y" at nine years of age; but as
this is more than most of us ever accom-
plish, journalists have taken the liberty
Of disputing it, At fourteen she pub
hshed her first poems in a volume en-
titled early Blossoms. They were en-
tirely too early to meet with favor, and
harsh criticism caused her 10 retire for a
few years. Anna Dickinson wrote an
able article for The Liberator at four
teen, made a brilliant speech at fifteen
and was famous orator at twenty-one,
having been turned out of her place in
the Philadelphia mint at nineteen for
charging the commander Of the Army of
the Potomac with treason. Her most
ardent admirers do not deny that her
brilliancy has always been somewhat in
advance of her judgment.
Rosa Bonheur was recognized in the
French art exhibition at nineteen and
won first class medal at twenty-six.
Harriet Hosmer was also famous at
twenty-five, and Winnie Ream succeeded
in provoking the critics 10 frenzy at a
very early age. She executed Lincoln
in stone at the age Of twenty-four, and
it was the first statue by woman ever
ordered by the national government,
but as 10 the rest artists are not yet
agreed. But most remarkable Of all
American cases perhaps is that of Ed
monia Lewis. Her father was a negro,
her mother a Chippewa Indian woman,
and she was left an orphan at the age of
three, yet she was noted at twenty, and
at thirty received high honors in Rome
as sculptress.
The three Logan sisters also attained
10 early fame, but the world was long
time in coming TO take Olive seriously.
She was married at sixteen and divorced
at twenty-four; then gained some fame
as actress, authoress and lecturer; mar
ried Writ Skies, and is again a widow.
OF the young American women now ac-
tive in art, literature and philanthropic
labors, the names would fill column.
Among those in art much talked off is
Miss Louise Lawson, whose statue of
Hon. Samuel Sullivan Cox c'Sunset'D
was unveiled in Aston place, New York,
last year-the first public statue by a
woman given place in that city.
OF herself she says that all there is
about her is work. Her father, Pro-
fessor L. NJ. Lawson, was dean for many
years of the Ohio Medical college, and
her earliest play was TO take 10 pieces
and reconstruct beautiful articulated
skeleton. She was not sent to school
in childhood. The father educated
her after a plan Of his own, and so
her education is peculiar, though
thorough. She knew every bone in the
human body long before she knew the

ty-eight dollars per month. In Febru-
airy, 1871, he entered the Oswego Normal
and Training school, and three years
later graduated ut the head Of his class.
The following year he took course Of
lectures in the medical department of
the Michigan university. He served
two years as principal Of the Spencer
academy. He started business college
at Freeport, Ills, and later was at the
head Of the Rock River university at
Dixon, Ills. In 1879 he was superintend-
ent of the Pittsfield (Ills.) public schools,
where he remained for five years, and
then went TO Big Rapids, Mich. If elect
ed he will be the first school teacher
ever sent 10 congress from Michigan.
In the Third Michigan district the con-
gressional candidates are Julius Caesar
Burrows, Of Kalamazoo, and Daniel
Strange, Of Grand Ledge, the former the
choice Of the Republicans and the latter
nominated both by the Democrats and
Populists. Mr.. Burrows is now serving
his seventh term in the house and is
widely known. Mr.. Strange IL a farmer.
He was born in Eaton county, few
miles from where he now lives, on March
4, 1915. He received his early education
in the country schools, later attended
the Charlotte Union school, was a stu
dent in Olivet college the first year it
opened 1850, attended the state normal
school at Ypsiianti and finally graduated
from the Michigan Agricultural school,
He Taught school at the age Of sixteen,
and continued teaching while pursuing
his own studies. After graduating Mr..
Strange taught school at Portland and
afterward at Mason. and then became
superintendent of agencies for New
York publishing house. He finally re-
turned 10 the farm.

A French paper tells Of a new process
of tanning by electricity, which, it says,
is being used on the skins of the stray
dogs gathered into the Paris pound. The
electric system, it is alleged, transforms
the skin into leather in three or four
days, against the SIX or eight months re-
quired in the ordinary process, and the
leather so tanned is better than that
tanned in the ordinary way. 1t is chief

The I.aureate,s Dilemma

We are all aware that new milk is a
sovereign remedy if Immediately poured
over split ink on any wooden or cotton
fabric. Lord Tennyson once went through
an experience over which his grandchil-
dren still delight to make merry. Some
dear old friends of his, absent for some
years in Persia, returned suddenly for good
to England. and among the first to call
upon them in London was Tennyson him
self The worthy pair were not at home,
and the poet asked for permission to write
them few lines of welcome before calling
again. Conducted to the drawing room
Tennyson wrote his little note and was ris-
ing to depart when his sleeve, catching the
lid of the inkstand, turned over the whole
contents on a beautiful white Persian car
pet covering the floor.
''New milk!" cried the distracted laure-
ate, and the housemaid few to do his bid
ding. Poet and maid now went down on
their knees together, pouring milk right
and left, rubbing with towels and hand
kerchiefs until not a trace of the telltale
fluid remained. When all was over Ten,
nyson hastily snatched his hat, and press
ing some money into the maids hands
fed for dear life. Whether those two old
friends are aware of what befell their Per
sian carpet on that famous afternoon is to
this day a mystery. Anyhow Tennyson
appreciates their reticence. Cor.

Brave gIanxmen.

The little fishing port OF Peel, on the

Contrary head, juts out south OF the har.

on which stand the ruins of Peel castle. II

place for the display OF the heroism of the

One afternoon in October, 1889, Norwe

and all were taken aboard the lifeboat
and safely landed on the beach. The Nor
