Edmund kean's Portrait.

OF the many theatrical portraits that
John E. Owens gathered about him in
his home was one which was said to be
the only portrait ever taken of Ed
mund Kean. The dramatic giant (who
weighed only ITO pounds) had an anti
pathy to picturemakers and would
never grant them sitting. When he
was playing in Philadelphia the paint
er Neagle determined to steal a march
on him By connivance with Kean's
manager, Mr.. Lee, the painter was in
vited to banquet. Lee had brought
the costume for Orchard Ill.," and
Neagle, in like manner, was supplied
with canvas, paints, etc. Under the
melting influence of champagne Kean
was persuaded to make an exception
under promise that it would take only
a few minutes. Neagle seized the OPP
portunity, and as consequence this
vivid likeness Of Edmund Kean was
treated.

An Incident of Ex- Prcsident Hayes War

An Incident of Ex-Prcsilent Hayes War
Experience in West Virginia.
The late President Hayes was at one
time the target of u Georgia confeder-
ate. 1t was only by a scratch that his
life was saved. The scene was on the
Gaulcy river, in West Virginia, and
the Georgian who took aim was Gen,
William Phillips, of Marietta, and the
time was in 1861. For days General
Floyd had been slsirmishing with Gen.
eral Cox's Ohio troops at the ''Hawls'
Nest" a picturesque and majestic mon
ument of rocks rising over q thousand
feet fro II the river road, at 4 point ten
miles below the Gaulcy.
One fine morning General (then
coloncD William Phillips heard the
buyla blast near the ''Hawlls' Nest, :"
across the river, and an OHIO colonel
at the head Of his regiment rode out
into the river good distance, as the
rocks shelved gradually. Colonel Phil
lips selected a long range rifle f. )m
one of his men, and raising his rifle
took deliberate aim at the lsuc!lc1e
soldier. The distance was great, bat
Phillips was Daniel Boone, and at
the crack of the rifle IL plume from the
Ohio colonel's high hat 1luttarra ouv
into the water, and the officer dashed
UP the bank out of reach.
In 1878 General Phillips was in
Washington urging the appointment
of General Edwards as United States
marshal for Georgia, and during the
talk he said something about "Hawtls'
Nest" in 1861 and his aim at an Ohio
colonel.
President Hayes frightened up and
inquired into details.

Exchange of Compliments.

It was little hard on the boy, for
he meant well, and had sincere ad-
miration for the girl They were sit
ting at the tea-table with a number of
others. and as he passed her the sugar
he murmured in an undertone: Here
it is, sweet-just like you" The COM
pliment was a little awkward, to be
sure, but he meant it, and it seemed
more than cruel when, a moment later,
having occasion to pass the butter to
him, she drawled: "Here it is, soft
lust like you.''

A Captains Nlne-Day Attempt to Get
Into Portland Harbor.


Into Portland Harbor.
There is q time of year when the
storm-tossed mariner should never be
over-confdent that he is safely and
certainly within Portland Harbor,
Maine. Again and again vessels al
most ready to poke their noses past
House Island have been driven off the
i shore by q wintry northeastern, and
4 18th rigging iced, crew despairing,
nave been whirled off the coast for
days, driven sometimes hundreds of
miles away. Even q landlubber can
realize how men would feel under
these conditions after they had drawn
almost near enough to the home fire.
side to feel it's warmth
1t was only a little while ago that Il
Portland captain, returning from a
long voyage, had worked his vessel
well up to the harbor's mouth. Then
in his profound relief he resigned the
ship into the hands of his men, went
below and proceeded to acquire unto
himself a load that sagged that p;,1t
of the ship NIGHTLY. So when that
northeastern came down past old
Seguin the captain didn't know gale
from a tune on !. jewsharp.
The nose of the plunging ship
worked about, worked about SLOWLY
but steadily. and in fifteen minutes the
vessel was fitting away to the south
squarely away from home an conf ,rt.
The captain never sobered off SO quick.
ly in his life, but it was no use, he was
in for it. For nine days they struggled
with a raging sea, hundreds of miles
off the coast, with iced rigging stiff a:
iron and suffering everything bu:
death. When the storm abated ant:
the captain finally toilcd weakly into
Portland harbor, he was sober-tl1crc.

little powder and pick he unearthed
the thieves, and was astonished to find

How Il Boy Was Rendered Wretched by
Gray Cloth Gloves.
There was wretched boy coming
down town on a New York street car
the other morning. He was about 10
years old and was accompanied by a
neat and thrifty-loolSing mamma. He
himself had a wcll-scrubbed, well-fed
appearance, but intense gloom over
spread his youthful countenance, and
he kept his hands thrust deep in the
pockets of his overcoat.
Sammy" snapped out his mother
every few minutes, take your hands
out of your pockets directly, or I'll
whip YOU WHEN | get you home"
And Sammy wouli reluctantly drag
out pair OF hands clothed in gray
cloth gloves, which gave his digital
cxtremit;cs an appearance strikinSly
like those OF Il lzid-botied doll. Final
ly he slid his hands out of his gloves
and left them in his pockets.
Sammy" said his mother, severely,
"Why amt you wearing your g!oves?'
81 don't like them. ma" whimpered
Sammy.
You don't like the gloves cut out
of your pas old gray pants and made
for you myself!!' exclaimed Samny''s
mamma. 'Just you put them right
on, and if I catch you slipping them
into your pockets again I'll make you
sorry l won't make over your pas
alpaca coat nor cut down his nccl1ties
for you.
And the unfortunate Sammy meellly
put on his gray gloves again and evil
IDENTIFY felt no disposition to join in the
smile that went round the car.

WHAT SHE REALLY SAID.
The True Version of the Story of Maria
Antoinette.

The True Version of the Story of Maria
Antoinette.
Every one has heard that old and
popularity accepted story of Marie An
toinette and the starving peasants, and
it is always told as an illustration OF
the heartlessncss and carcleSsness of
royalty concerning the common people.
1t has served its purpose well, but
unfortunately it is not quite true. Mr..
Matticu Williams gives the correct YER
sion. He says:
"We arc told that when Marie An
toinette was informed of a famine in
the neighborhood of the Tyrol, and of
the starving OF some of the peasants
there, she replied: Il would rather eat
pie crust than starve' Some of the
story-tellers, by the way, have it
pastry others cake. Thereupon the
courtiers giggled at the ignorance Of
the pampercd princess, who could sup
pose that starving peasants had such
an alternative food as pie crust.
''The ignorance, however, was all on
the side OF he courticrs and those who
ispehC Ills "Coiy Ill ~" titlHaly 1oI1u
The princess was the only person in the
court who really understood the hab-
its of the peasants of the particular
districts in question. They cook their
meat, chiefly young veal, by rolling it
in a kind of dough made of sawdust,
mixed with coarse flour to hold it to-
gether. then placing in an oven Or
wood embers until the dough is hard
ened to a tough crust and the meat is
roasted throughout to the proper point
of cooking. Marie Antoinette said she
would rather eat pie crust than starve,
knowing that these meat pie crusts
are given to the pigs, and they are
nourished by them, and digest them in
spite Of the wood sawdust.

Sheep as Beasts of Burden.

In the northern parts of India sheep
ale put to a use unthought of in Euro
pean countries. They are made to
serve as beasts of burden. The noun
tain paths among the foothills of the
Hymalayas are so precipitous that the
sheep, more sure-footed than larger
beasts, are preferred as burden car
riers. The load for each sheep is from
sixteen to twenty pounds. The sheep
are driven from village to village, with
the wool still growing, and in each
town the farmer shears as much wool
as he can sell there, and loads the
sheep with the grain which he receives
in exchange. After his flock has beer
sheared he returns it homeward, each
sheep having on its back a small bag
containing the purchased grain.
