The Century is printing series of
papers on Notable Women. We quote
from the paper on Jenny Lind:''
The entire proceeds of the American
tour, amounting to more than E2o,-
600, were devoted by Jenny Lind to
various benevolent objects. From
the days of her early girlhood ii had
boon her chief delight to use for tho
good of others the wealth which her
genius had brought her. She was
ever ready to sing for a hospital. or a
college. or "a poor fellow-artist, or for

She exclaimed when she was told that

cord might well bear the label which
Jenny Lind's old Swedish guardian
placed around the packet containing
her letters to him, The mirror Of a

JENNY LIND,
Why She Lei: the Stage at the Height
OF Her Success,


One matter which must be of in
terest to every lover of dramatic art.
and which has been an enigma to
many people, is now for the first
time dealt with by one with authority
to discuss the question. Why Jenny
Lind quit the stage at the moment of
her greatest glory, and many years
before her unrivaled powers had
begun to suffer and decay? Some
have perhaps reluctantly accepted the
widely prevalent idea that she had
come to regard the dramatic profess
sion as an unholy thing which no
pure-souled woman could remain
III without contamination. Happily
this notion can be entertained no
longer, says the Century. Her in
innate friend Froken Won Stedingk
with reference 10 it says: MANY sup
pose this resolution to be the result
OF pietism. Jenny Lind is as God-fear-
ing as she is pure, but had pietism
been the cause. she would not her
self have gone TO the play, which she
declared she liked to do, to see others
act" The fact is that to appreciate
her motive for leaving the stage is to
understand the whole character OF
the woman. Her distastc for it seems
to have begun with her first great
European success, and steadily grew
as her fame spread. In 1910 she had
lived for ten years Il life of incessant
hard work on the stage; yet in the
following year she wrote from Paris,
Life on the stage has in it some
thing so fascinating that think, hav-
ing once tasted il. one can never feel
truly happy away from it But in
1915, just after her transcendent sue
cess in Berlin, the idea of leaving the
stage had not merely occurred to her
laind, but had already become fixed
determination. Among the dominant
notes of her character were love of
home and craving for domestic peace.
this craving was to great extent
satisfied while she remained in Stock
holm, and especially during the zine
she lived with the Lindbald family.
But when her destiny drew her in re-
lentless triumph to Berlin, Vienna,
Copenhagen, London, her domestic
instincts were wrcnched and tortured
and she found no compensation in all
the glitter of her success. IL am con
vinced,n said Herr Brockhaus. in
April. 1916, that she would gladly
exchange all her triumphs for simple
honely happiness" That was the
secret of the whole matter. And SC
she formed the resolution to quit the
stage forever, resolution in which
she never wavered from lS45, when
it first took definite shape, till she
carried it out in London in the sum.

ST.. LOUIS, Feb. 3.-It seems now as
II a million dollars or SO will be spent
by the electric companies in LAYING
conduits in st. Louis tn year. The
Bell Telephone Company and one of
the largest electric lighting companies
have already applied to the city for
permission to put down conduits, and
another telephone company, which in
tends to compete with the Bell and
lower rates is asking the Assem- bly, to
give it n franchise for the same pur-
pose. The new telephone company has
bought conduit already laid in the
streets, and the systems planned by
the Bell and the lighting company will
cost each over half million dollars,
even though the first conduits are in
tended to occupy only the business
streets.
Most of the trade of the Indian Ter

Many will be inclined to discredit the
statement that spider-raising is an estab-

ing successfully conducted by Ernest Rey-
Der, the proprietor of the Enterprise bot
Ting works on Cowart street. Mr.. Rey--
Der estimates that between five thousand

homes in his bottling department. which oc-
cupies a large room probably sixty feet
square. The ceiling is fairly covered with
thousands upon thousands of little patches
or hbery material, within which the insects
nest nest and lay their eggs, AT this season

ana corners, but in easy command of their

Spider-webs are everywhere, spanning the
space between the floor and ceiling or
spread about the machinery, in front of the
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, in fact, the busy weav-
ers can find from which to hang their net

given up to the insects, which have appar-
emily divided the space into many four
walled apartments.
