Painted in Court.

Della Keegan was her name. She was
fifty perhaps, and years of dissipation had
reddened her nose, whitened her hair, made
loose folds and wrinkles under her eyes
and drawn deep lines in her face.
Still she had never fallen so low before
as to be arrested and spend night in the
station house with females worse than
herself.
So, when she stood before Justice Ryan
in a New York city police court that morn
ing, she trembled and clutched the iron
railing desperately. She had been put out
Of the wretched little room which she oc-
cupied in a big tenement house on West
Fortieth street-been thrown out on the
sidewalk while drunk. The woman of
whom she had hired the room had come to
the police court to see that Della was pun
ished to the utmost extent of the law
II have never been arrested BEFORE"
said Della in a hestating, scared tone.
Then the other woman told the justice
that Della had been put out of several
places for drunkenness.
''Three MONTHS" said the justice.
AS Della heard the words she put her
hand to her head ana sank noiselessly to
the floor.
Come, carry her out" said the rounds
man in charge of the court squad, and
five policemen pick upthe fainting woman
and carry her back into the pen, where
she comes back to painful consciousness
all too soon, and the wheels of Justice
move on without break.

over extraordinary misfortunes. She
was born at Plymouth, Ills, and obtained
some training at the School of Design in
st. Louis, where she learned to carve in
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 week." In no long
time she was able to fit up studio, and
orders came in so 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, but
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-
Gently returned to Rome to do some spe-
cially delicate work. She has finished
busts of Miss Susan B. Anthony, Mrs.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton, Mrs. Lucretia
Mott and Mrs. Livermore, which are to
go first to the Columbian exposition and
then to the Capitol at Washington, to
be the first busts of American women
that have graced its halls. Her friend
and long time chum in Rome, Miss
Luella Varney, gives this simple ac-
count of her beginnings in art:

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
etandingly" 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
ished her first poems in volume en-
titled early Blossoms" They were en-
tirely too early to meet with favor, and
harsh criticism caused her to retire for a
few years. Anna Dickinson wrote an
able article for The Liberator at four
Seen, made 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
She 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 to 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 to the rest artists are not yet
agreed. But most remarkable of all
American cases perhaps is that of Ed
monia Lewis. Her father was negro,
her mother 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
rs q sculptress.
The three Logan sisters also attained
TO early fame, but the world was long
time in coming to take Olive seriously
She was married at sixteen and divorced
ut twenty-four; then gained some fame
rs actress, authoress and lecturer; mar
xied Writ Skies, and is again widow.
Of the young American women now ac-
tive in art, literature and philanthropic
abors, 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'O
was unveiled in Astor place, New York,
Last year-the first public statue by
woman given place in that city.
Of herself she says that all there is
shout her is work. Her father, Pro-
fessor l.. M. Lawson, was dean for many
years of the Ohio Medical college, and
her earliest play was to take to pieces
and reconstruct beautiful articulated
skeleton. She was not sent to school
IN childhood. The father educated
her after plan of his own, and so
Ter education is peculiar, though
thorough. She knew every bone in the
human body long before she knew the

Protection for the Ant Bear.

An effort is to be made in Cape Colony to
prevent the threatened determination of
that curious but useful quadruped the
aardvark, or ant bear, which is one of the
very best friends of the white colonists. al
though they have only lately been induced
to believe it. Its food is the white ant,
which does enormous mischief to the crops.
Against these pests the bear wages cease
less warfare, digging out their nests and
destroying them in countless numbers.
Unfortunately the natives are especially
fond of ant bear meat, which resembles a
very good quality OF pork, and also hunt it
for its hide, which is worth about four
dollars in the market. Time, however.
is already beginning to work out the
aardvark's revenge. The white ant is in
creasing with ominous rapidity and the
farmers associations are in a state of con
siderable alarm. They are demanding pro-
lection for the ant bear, and that harmless
creature may yet survive to enjoy a season
of great prosperity and peace.

York. But my family on both sides are
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-
man history strengthened my silent art
feeling until the need of some means of
expression took possession of me-"
She began to model in clay, and
worked with very little instruction till
she obtained commission to execute a
bust of Judge Andrews (New York
court of appeals), and on that encour-
agement she went to Rome, where hard
work has brought success. Her portrait
busts are noted for fidelity to 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 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 few of the many Amer
lean young women of marked artistic
ability and success. Apparently the
world is all before La Jeune Americaine,
and she has perfect liberty to do what
ever she can do well. J. B. PARKE.

Young and difficult orators will take
fresh heart when they learn, if they do
not know it already, that SO accomplished
and self possessed speaker as George
William Curtis suffered from stage
fright on the occasion of his first lee

gentlemen, the pitomless bott," with a
solemnity which was changed to con-
fusion when he perceived his error. Of
course he had meant to make an illu-

Tanning by Electricity.

A French paper tells of 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
ly used for ladies' fine shoes, and it is
notable for its soft and delicate qualities.

alphabet. Being given some soft blue
limestone, pulverized and made into
paste for "mud pie" purposes, she
modelled q head, hand and foot which
attracted attention by their fidelity to
nature.
She entered the Cincinnati Art school
rnite young, took modelling lessons of
Louis Rebisso, and then went to Italy,
where she soon won name and was
made amember of the academy at Peru
gia. Her first finished production in
marble, "The Rhodian Boy" is still
thought by many to be the finest she has
ever done, and is to be exhibited at Chi
cago. She is an enthusiast on art, an6
maintains that it is the index of peo-
pies progress in humanity. People do
not so consider it," she says, "but civil
Hzation is dependent on art. Further
more, it is, as William Hunt says, 'all
that remains of man is art For ex.

doubt a wonderful people, but they had
no art, and there is almost nothing that
remains to us of them"
