KYRLE BELIEVES VANITY.
How It Was Once Sadly Disconnected by a,
 American Girl.

How 1t Was Once Sadly Disconnected by an
 American Girl.
 There had been lively discussions some years ago over a then seemingly important question theatrieally, and in- deed socially, Was or was not Kyr1e Bellew possessed of great vanity?"
 believe the matter has never been definitely settled, though in an individ- ual instance recall it would seem there was valid ground for decision i'll the affirmative.
 The occasion was an informal "even- ing" at Mrs Lester Wallack's, and gathered about one of the tables were two or three young ladies, MT. Bellew and other men. Bellew had some bits of paper i'll his hands, from which he was idly fashioning little boats. II hear, !" he drawled, addressing no one i'll par ticular, 'that your American navy is badly in need of ships. I propose to remedy the trouble by presenting you with few ," One girl spoke up quickly ill slightly sarcastic vein, II am sure we all render sincere thanks ill the name of the American navy.
 The actor favored her by an especially comprehensive glance, and finishing his boat penciled a few lines on it and rather patronizingly tossed it over to her.
 The girl picked the boat up slowly (this was the first occasion she had met MT. Bellew) and read: My love to you. Kyrle Bellew" A rather vivid flush overspread her face, but looking the young man steadily in the eyes she said in tones sufficiently clear for compre- hension, "The sentiment inscribed here tindicating the paper boat Is surely too much of an honor for any one woman to aspire to; so, with your permission, Mir Bellew, will take it home, raffie it and-send you the proceeds. " She then rose, bowed and left the table, at the same time leaving Mir. Bellew suffi- ciently disconeerted to bite his lips and permit his brow the shadow of frown. New York Herald

THE POWER OF POETRY.
Scott's Description of the Chase and What
 the Ordinary Man Would Have Said.

Scott's Description of the Chase and What the Ordinary Man Would Have Said. Take, as single instance of the pow or of poetry, Walter Scott's opening lines in the Lady of the Lake, " where he describes the chase of the stag The stag escapes and evades his pursuers, but what a picture the great poet has put into wordsl
 Reduced to prose the ordinary observ- CT and writer would have said '"They chased the stag several miles, but lost him in the Trosachs. " He could not possibly have said i'll prose:
 The antlered monarch of the waste
 Sprung from his heathery couch In haste, But ere his fleet career he took
 The dewdrops from his Hanks he shook; Like crested leader proud and high,
 Toss'd his beamed frontlet to the sky; moment gazed adown the dale,
 A moment snuffed the tainted gale,
 moment listened to the cry
 That thieken'd as the chase drew nigh. Then as the headmost foes appear'd,
 With one brave bound the copse he clear'd, And stretching forward free and far
 Sought the wild hcaths of Gam Var. The poet began his picture with an incident that only poet would have thought worthy of words, but what a picture the few words makel
 The stag at eve had drunk his fill
 Where danced the moon on Monan's Till, And deep his midnight lair had made
 In lone Glenartneys hazel shade.

HOW=WE WALK.
The Muscles Used and tho Mechanical Work
 That They Do.

The chief muscles concerned ill walk
 ing are those in tho calf and back of log, which, by pulling up the heel, also pull up the bones of the foot connected with it, and then the whole body, the weight of which is passed on through the bones of tho leg. When walking, the trunk is thrown forward so that it would fall down prostrate were not the right foot planted i'll time to support it.
 The calf muscles are helped i'll this ac- tion by those on the front of the trunk and legs, which contract and pull tho body forward, and the trunk, slanting forward when the heel is raised by the calf muscles, the whole body will bo raised and pushed forward and upward. This advancement of each leg is effect ed partly by muscular action, the mus cles used being CD those on the front of the thigh, bending it forward on the pelvis; (2) the hamstring muscles, which slightly bend the leg on the thigh; (8) the muscles on the front of the leg, which raise the front of the foot and toes, preventing the latter, i'll swinging forward, from hitching in the ground.
 When ono foot has reached the ground, the action of tho other has not ceased There is another point ill walk, ing. The body is constantly supported and balanced OH each leg alternately and therefore on only ono at once. Hence there must bo some means for throwing the center of gravity over the line of support formed by the bones of each log, as it supports the weight of the body. This is done in various ways, and hence the difference in the walk of different people. There may bo slight rotation at the hip joint, bringing the conter of gravity of tho body over the foot of this side This rocking" motion of the trunk and thigh is accompanied by q movement of the whole trunk and leg over the foot planted on the ground and is accompanied by oompensating out ward movement at the hip The body rises and swings alternately from one side to the other as it's center of gravity comes alternately over one or the other leg, and the curvature of tho spinal bones is altered with the varying posi- tion of the weight.

The Slip of His Horse Reaulted In the Rider
 Discovering Great Mine.
 One of the most productive mines i'll California was discovered through all accidental fall of the discoverer. He was one of hunting party that had gone out from San Francisco during the Christmas holidays. While passing along the side Of a steep hill OH | mar TOW trail his horse suddenly slipped, and with his rider went down into the guloh.
 Happening to be tho last in the line and some distance behind the others, he was not missed for some moments, but when his absence was noticed the party turned back to look for him, fearing some untoward accident. He was no- where to be seen, but the place where his horse had slipped and fallen over the bank, together with the traces of the fall. was plainly visible. Following the tracks made by the falling horse and man, and when near the bottom, the men suddenly came upon m interesting spectacle. Just behi4d 0 olump of bushes which tho man and his steed had crashed through on their way down stood the horse, apparently uninjured while near by, on slab of rock pro- jecting from the snow, the man was eapering like an Indian at q ghost dance.
 The first impression of the rescuing party was that the man had gone sud- denly crazy. but as he caught sight of them he suddenly ceased his gyrations and shouted for them to approach. They came, when ho showed them several Jumps of almost pure gold he had has tily knocked from the edge with a stone for a hammer and announced his dis eoyery Of a gold mine The sliding horse had brought up against the ledge, and the restiYe animal kicking vigor ously in the efforts to rise, had struck off the moss from the stone and dis closed the fact that 1t was gold bear ing ledge of unusual richness.

Many distinguished people are an

Natalie, ex-queen of Servia, may also
claim a double. The person SO desig-
mated carries on small business, and
except that her name is Nathalie there
seems to be no resemblance between
her and the ex-queen. Still, she is
known far and wide as her double, and
for this reason: a practical joker,

GETTING RID OF THE BEARD.

Electricity VIII Do tho Work. But Not
without Considerable Cost.
The hairsOf man is gradually disap-
pearing before the march of civilian
ton, says the New York Sun. Nature
who is an economical dame. has grad
ually removed the hair from the top of
the head where it is no longer useful.
Still, ndlyaintentioned, decorative
fringe is left for ornament. Man him
self would gladly have compromised
with nature, and bartered some of the
growth on his face for few handfuls
of hair on his head. Nature. however,
knew the value of shaving as discip-
line and refused to interfere. Now, it
appears, man sees the way to estab-
lish permanently clean face for him
self. No more early rising for a ma
tutinal shave or dallying in barber
shops awaiting turn. The method
is simple but expensive. 1t is done
with the electric needle-at u cost of
about three dollars u hair, Il decline
from the first rates. The operation
takes time. Owing to the strain on
the operators eyes, the removal can be
done only in patches unless a relay of
physicians can be provided The oper-
alton is painless, as the ground has
been prepared by cocaine. With the
later improvements in electric lights
and magnifying mirrors the time may
come that a man will eradicate the
brambles of his face as easily as Il
farmer mows down a hedge row. A
Roman youth used to receive his toga
virilis the day of his first shave. The
occasion was n fete. Cornelia, Lesbia,
Elavia and the rest had been hem

In the new day the occasion will doubt
less be the same. The girls, having
saved their pocket money, viii have

eight infants and twenty-three adults.
Not one of the unfortunate persons
had ever applied to the parish authori-

the deceased person been at any time
the inmate of poorhouse or hospital.
All were people of unquestioned re-

times and whose pride and horror of
accepting public aims overcame the
sharpest pangs of hunger. A sample
