A NOTABLE STEEL ENGRAVING.


Copies Are Eagerly Sought For and Ara
Sometimes Difficult to Obtain.
In a lecture before the Art Stu
dents league Frederick Keppel said
that not one of the famous engravings
of the world was of steel, all being
copper. Toward the close of his dis
course he affected to correct his for
mer statement.
"That," said he, would not be
strictly true, for there is one 1t is
the portrait of an elderly lady, with
accessories decorative and symbol
ical, but the curious thing about this
one steel engraving which l have to
show is that it is universally and
enormously popular. Tastes may
differ as to schools of art, but l have
never known a single collector who
has not been willing and even eager
to add it to his collection. The desire
for it's possession is indeed SO intense
that l have known refined and fas-
tidious men, and women, too, to wei
come a copy that was damaged, torn
and soiled. For my own part, l have
often found it very difficult to pro-
cure. l have often striven in vain to
get it in exchange for other prints of
far greater beauty. This strangely
fascinating engraving was mainly
done by Charles Burt of Brooklyn.
"It is the copyright property of its
publishers, and so jealous are they Of
it's reputation that when I was pre-
pairing Photographic Illustrations for
this lecture the publishers absolutely
refused to allow their engraving to
be copied OF initiated in any manner
whatever. Fortunately I have a toll
erably good original impression of
MI. Burt's famous plate, which, as I
have said already, is the most ad-
mired engraving I know Of"
After this prelude, when the audi
ence had been worked up to a fever
of expectancy, Mr.. Keppel said, Here
it is" and flashed before their aston
ished gaze a plain, familiar 81 bill.
Then everybody laughed.-Buffalo

Don't BE EnyiOus,

The men or women who envey
those who happen to be able to dress
well and to enjoy the pleasures of
life a little more than those who are
compelled to work continually will
be miserable all their days, for no
matter how high they may get, they
will find others still higher. The en-
vious person is never satisfied and
never can be. Take the successful
men of the city, and you will find
that the majority of them began just
where you did. Then why are you not
in equally good circumstances? If you
raj a race with a man and lost it, you
would hardly blame your failure on
the race course. You started even
and raj together, and you lost be-
cause you couldn't run as fast as he
or lacked the power of endurance.
So your failure in the race of life is
not due to the track, but to your lack
OF ability as a runner. -Pittsburg
Commercial Gazette.

Stories of the Cloth.

The following, if not true. is well
founded. A French priest, who was
p~assionately addicted to card playing,
is said by a writer in the Paris Temps
to have inadvertently remarked, in
stead of 80 Lord, who holdest in thy
hand the heart of kings" 80 Lord,
who holdest in thy hand the king of
hearts,"
The foregoing anecdote may be
capped by the story told by Archdea-
con Sinclair in Young Man of the
nervous curate who, when preaching
on the parable of the prodigal son,
managed to say correctly, Put airing
on his finger" but was totally inca
pable of resisting the temptation to
add, ''and bells on his toes, and he
shall have music wherever he goes

FONDNESS FOR ANIMALS.

There are numerous anecdotes
about noted people who were fond
of animals, and we are pretty sure
that they were fond Of them when
they were BOYS and girls. Daniel
Webster loved his calves dearly, and
used to get his son Fletcher out OF
bed before daylight to hold the
lantern while he fed the COWS.
FLETCHER" he would say, you
don't seem to take any interest In
this. l like to look into the kind
faces of the COWS, and smell their
breath" When Choate was his
guest he used to rap at the door of
his room where he was reading, and
call to the great jurist, "Oh, come
along, Choate; let's go and have a
look at the pigs" Webster ordered
his farm hand to drive the oxen past
the library windows, so that he
could tell them good-by' before he
died.
1t was said of Edmund Burke
that he had gone crazy, because he
went about in his park kissing his
COWS and horses. The story arose
from the fact that a favorite horse
belonging to his dead son came up
to Mr.. Burke in the field, laid his
head upon his breast, and looked IN
to his face, as il to say, Il have lost
him too" Overcome by his mem
cries, Burke clasped the neck OF the
intelligent creature and kissed it

Not a Money Makiue Honor

In commenting upon the coming
session of the legislature the Ben
nington Banner says that Gov.
Woodbury. declines to be imposed
upon, and instead of paying $1,000
for his accommodations at the hotel
during the session of the legislature,
as did Gov. Fuller two years ago, he
has rented rooms in a private house
outside that could be obtained for
moderate prices 1t is a notorious
fact that the average legislator
manages with difficulty to make
both ends meet without dra wing up-
on his own resources to pay his way
at the state capital. This was well
illustrated by the experience Of a well
known senator from Windham coun-
ty. At the close of the session this
gentleman called for his hotel bill,
and the hospital boniface named a
sum that meant practically his
entire earnings as legislator for the
season. He was informed that ten
cents in change was his due, but
rather than spoil a good story he
decided TO take a cigar in place OF his
dime. l is evident from this and
other similar experiences that the
man who is ambitious TO go to the
legislature to make money is DOOM
ed to bitter disappointment Free

HELD UP BIS HAND.

At temperance meeting IN a VII
lage not a thousand miles from ST.
Johnsbury Center, the other after
noon, a lady was trying to impress
on the minds of the children the
danger which turks in a glass of
cider, and propounded this query ::
"Now children, suppose l should be
passing by a cider mill just as they
were making the cider, squeezing the
fresh, sweet juice out OF the apples
would it be right for me TO 60 in and
drink a glass of it? All the children
who think it would be right, please
raise their hands" The verdict
against the sweet cider was almost
unanimous-but not quite. One
little fellow whose temperance educa
ton has been by no means neglect
ed, surprised his mother and his as
sociates by lifting his hand. But
this was not an indication that he
had cut loose from prohibition. He
had simply not quite understood the
call for a show of hands, and had
held his up at the wrong time-as
many older people sometimes do.

HOW TO CLOTHE CHILDREN.
A PROBLEM THAT MAKES MOTHERS
STUDY.

Minister'S Wife who Dresses her
Family in Excellent TaSfe-How a
Small Income Went Long Way.
The Fuckers in many a mothers fore
head are deepened as she studies how to
dress her boys and girls in respectable
manner on the small amount that is
available.
A minister's wife in small town near
St. Johnsbury was confronted by this
discouraging situation, but her woman s
wit and a few ten cent packages OF dia-
mond dies solved the problem, and hand
some clothes were soon evolved from a
pile of odds and ends.
The Home, Housekeeper, Ladies Home
Companion, and other household papers
have published many articles telling how
to use diamond dyes in making new
clothing out of old. Pretty dresses,
handsome cloaks, serviceable stockings,
and gay hat ribbons and feathers are OBJ
tanned at but little expense, not only for
the children, but for the mothers as well.
The ease with which diamond dyes are
used IS really surprising. They make
beautiful colors that never crock and are
non-fading. while there are other
package dyes, there are none so easily
used, nor such fast colors," says Jean
Hunt in a recent number of The Home.
Il have tried other dyes, but the dia-
mond color the most goods. Their fast
stocking black is the only black dye for
cotton l have ever found that makes a
fast black which never turns gray when
washed"

and are gaining many victories.
The emperor of China is much cha
grined that his armies are continu-
ally routed, while the mix ado has
sent congratulations to his army in
Corea for their brilliant victories.
China has the largest army, but
Japan is gaining victories by quick
marches and rapid movements OF her

CLEANED FROM TOWN RECORDS.

Betty Richards, their daughter, born
Oct. IS, 1856.
Joseph Richards. their son, born Janu-

the first, if not the first, child born
in this town. 1t will also be noticed
that in the records the town was
spelt differently than at present.

At an elegant banquet given last Sat
urday evening in Mr.. William Valid
OFF Astor's elegant new Warldorf hotel,
where the elite were gathered, the Hon.
William L. Wilson, was grossly, brutally
insulted.
He had been especially invited there as
the guest Of one of the most pretensious
clubs Of the great city. And as their
guest he was at least entitled to the bare
forms of hospitality.
We read that when he entered the room
he was greeted by cries OF cuckoo" and
these proceeded from several parts OF the
hall. And again when Charles Emory
Smith, one Of the speakers, referred to
the fact that there were probably many
who were not in exact accord with the
new tariff bill the members we're uproar-
ious and the affair was carried to the
point of personal affront.
Mr.. Wilson was insulted as Speaker

first principles of hospitality, and have
showed themselves Doors and asses.
