But how Mile Bonheur won the cross
! of the Legion of Honor is another story,
says writer in the st. Louis Republic.
Being a woman, she was ineligible to that
lofty token of appreciation, no matter
how well she wrought along the lines
that would secure it to man.
In 1858 she was awarded medal by the
salon, which meant, sex permitting, she
would have had the higher honor be-
slowed. It was in 1865 that Eugene,
then the beautiful and beloved empress
| OF the French, insisted upon accompany
ing her husband through the cholera hos
pitfalls. An epidemic of that loathsome
disease was then raging in Paris. Ma
poleon III. was so impressed with the
bravery of the act that he bestowed the
Cross of the Legion of Honor upon his
wife.
A few days later Eugenie one of Rosa
BonheGr's most appreciative friends,
visited the artist in her studio and on
leaving contrived, while embracing her
friend, to transfer the coveted bit of rib
bon from the imperial to the artistic
| shoulders.
Mile Bonheur, by that graceful act,
was made "chevalier" of the empire, an
honor recently confirmed by the French
republic in making her an officer of the
Legion of Honor, which means so much
to every Frenchman.
In Norway, it is said, they have re-
Gently passed new law. A girl, says
the St. Louis Republic, is ineligible for
matrimony until she is proficient in spin
ming, baking and knitting Certificates
| of proficiency must be earned. and with
| out one no girl may marry. Now you see,
my dears, what my permanent exhibit of
American woman's work would do for
you. Your light is not hidden under the
| bushel measure of home, but is seen by
all men And in spite of all contrary pro-
testaJions there is not a living Jill among
you who would not rather win Jack, If he
is brave, honest and reliably industrious.
| But there is really not much point in
finding him at all if he can't go to the top
of hill for bucket of water without
tumbling down and necessitating your
tumbling after. l wonder, by the way,
while the solons of Norway were le2is-
lating on what woman must know how
to do before marrying, what acquisitions
they laid upon the men?
1t would be interesting to hear what
the boys must be and know how to do be-
fore they may marry.
"Here's Brooklyn clergyman began
my friend KS wife, Indignantly, who is
reported to have said that there are no
women in heaven. He must have taken
his text from Revelation" remarked her
husband, cheerfully, where it is men
for the space of half an hour"
1T is also mentioned retorted his
wife, that heaven is filled with those
who have come out of great tribulation,
which makes me think they were pretty
nearly all women who had had husbands
in this life"
1t is a great disadvantage to know the
Bible only for purposes of quotation.
The New Orleans Picayune's old family
physician says that one reason why the
average American girl has such a poor
complexion is due to the great quantity of
ice water, soda water and candy with
| which she regales herself. They spoil the
stomach and that spoils everything.
Eat all the ice and ice cream you
want, girls" says this wise old doctor,
but in the name OF common sense don't
food your poor little stomachs with ice
cold water. Cold water is good on the
| outside--yes, very good, nothing better
in fact; but inside, it only shocks the di-
gestive apparatus. Keep your blood pure
and your circulation pure and your COM
plexion will take care of itself.
LAS a singular rule" continues this
eminent authority, indigestion and dys-
persia are very uncommon affections
among the old Creoles of New Orleans
| and one reason for this is that they drink
| very little or no ice water. Many of these
old families hang up stone jug of water
in a cool place, and it answers the pur-
poses of ice water very well in this hot
climate with none of the injurious
effects.''
Nine. Carette, says the New Orleans
| Picayune, once the companion of the
Empress Eugene, tells in her memoir this
new story of Prince Bismarck: ut was
at a great ball at the Tuileries in 1867,
during the international exhibition. Count
| Bismarck stood in a corner watching the
dancers in the cotllion; the thought came
to me that might offer him bouquet of
roses, and thus compel him to dance with
me. Herr Won Bismarck was at that
time the subject of universal interest. He
accepted my bouquet and without
hesitation responded to the invita-
tion that went with it. He danced
waltz with me in man
uer quite beyond criticism This Incl
dent, which seemed to harmonic so little
with Count Bismarck's seriousness and
the important part he was already play
ing in state affairs, amused immensely the
kings and princes who were present AS
he escorted me to my seat after the waltz
he took rosebud from the buttonhole of
his coat and gave it TO me with the re-
mark: Madame, please keep this bud as
q memento of the last waltz that shall
