Rosa Bonheur's Determined Oppose
tiOn to the Wishes of Her Father.
Even in her early youth Rosa Bon.
heur showed proof of artistic genius.
This did not please her father, who al
though himself painter Of merit de-
termined that his daughter should only
learn what he regarded as womanly
accomplishments. Accordingly the girl
who in after life became Landseer's
peer as an animal painter, was actually
apprenticed to dressmaker. Rosa,
then 10 years old had a will Of her own
and long before 1t became evident that
she had determined not to learn the
dressmaker'S art. Then her father put
her into a school with the idea that she
should study to become a teacher, but
this was no more to her taste than
work with a needle, and another per.
iod Of rebellion on her part resulted in
her fathers surrender. He also con.
sented to her entering his studio, which
was what she had all along desired.
From that time on NJ. BOnheur had no
cause to complain that his daughter
was indisposed to work. Her study
simply occupied her every waking mo
ment, and at 10 she was rewarded by
having one Of her pictures accepted by
the salon. Animal life Of the larger
kind attracted her most, and in order
to pursue her studies in this direction
with full freedom she began to wear
mems clothes, at the same time crop
ping her hair closely. Thus she was
able to pass for Il boy Mt fairs or races
or in stables or shambles, where she
passed many hours studying the mo
tons Of animals. In 1853, being then
81 years old, she was awarded a medal
by the salon, which meant that had
she been a man she would have secur
ed the cross VI the Legion Of Honor.
Twelve years later she obtained thai
much coveted prize in a curious way

Carries Two Men on n Barrel.

men, seated astride of a barrel, with
one hand, a feat which she executed
with ease and grace. She is inclined

Occasionally in his mountain home
the Ameer of Cabul has met ladies

His majesty some months ago con-

and with this end in view asked an
English officer to find him 4 govern

doubts as to the possibility Of finding
any lady willing to take the risk, upon
which the ameer assured him that his
royal protection would be extended TO
the -isitor. and that in addition she
could name her own salary, With this
assurance the officer mentioned the
subject to some friends on his return
to Calcutta. and a young English wo-
man named Hamilton accepted the
place. Miss Hamilton sings, plays and
paints with marked ability, and Is in
all ways just the sort Of woman the

object he can have in doing such a

probably has its origin in his fondness
for the metal in the shape of orna-

such presents more frequently than

take the fact that it is closely allied
with all other labor organizations
into consideration we get glimpse of
the immense influence it will exert
on labor troubles generally. For
instance if a wholesale clothing house
does not deal fairly with Its sewing
girls and other employees, and a boy
colt is declared, no goods from that
house can be transported on cars oper-
ated by the railway union. Its pro-
