When Henry Ward Beecher was at
the height Of his career, there were a
few men who resembled him near
enough to be able to duplicate him in
public. Among these was Judge -
of Buffalo, who sometimes found the
likeness a source Of annoyance At one
time the judge was travelling with a
party of ladies who were under his care.
He gallantly ascribed the attention be
received to them, but on an occasion
when be retired to the smoking car the
riddle was solved. The moment he left
the parlor car q couple Of strange men
hurried in, and after apologizing to the
ladies for the intrusion asked very ear
nestly if the gentleman in their company
were not Mr.. Beecher. Upon being as
sured that he was not, one man turned
to the other, and handing him a roll OF
bills said:
''Take them; you've won" Then,
turning to the ladies, be explained, III
bet 800 that your friend was Ar.
Beecher, and I've lost I'm And he fol-
lowed his companion from the car. Ths
judge laughed heartily when told Of the
incident and said it was not the first
time that another mans greatness had
been thrust upon him.-Detroit Free

PATHS voice is Of only moderate
strength, there being several of greater
power among the operatic singers Of the
present day, but the compass of her
tones is extraordinary, reaching to F in
alt, and her execution is exceedingly
brilliant and polished. Her greatest
vocal charm, however, lies in the sym
pathetic quality of her notes, qnality
that instantly impresses every auditor.
1t is most apparent in the rendition of
simple. well known songs. like Home,
Sweet Home" and "Comin Through
the Rye, " and in these she has achieved
such success that, while her repertory
comprises over 30 operas, her fame
really rests on two or three ra-ailiar
songs. She first appeared in opera in
New York in 1859

Calls having become in our busy life
of great cities SO perfunctory an obliga-
tion, many people have seen lit to'drop
the attempt to make them except in
cases where coincidence or congratulation
is in order. These cases demand the
leaving of cards in person only, and 50
visiting for forms sake is drifting out
of vogue. Sowell is the difficulty Of ac-
complishing all one visits understood

each other to strict account II a season

tally sets that above her curls, and i'm
agines herself in it, but reality shows
her her pinched face under the shabby
thing Of two seasons ago. 1t is cruel,
and l wish some one would start soci-
ETY. to provide women with spring bon
nets free of cost, or at least at price
making one possibility. The bonnets
are so little and the trimming is so
small that it takes new kind of arith-
metic to find out how the price can be
so large for so small an article. Ten to
$75 is the cost of a mite of bonnet, the
price largely depending upon where it
is bought. If on Sixth avenue or Four
teentb street, where competition is
sharp, a bonnet sells at its minimum.
If it is bought at one Of the semiprivate
swell houses up town on Fifth avenue
or Broadway the maximum is reached
Today and yesterday and the day be-
fore | gave up entirely to bonnets, and
my eyes are dazzled with their beauties
There are lovely wide brimmed fats in
leghorn and fine French chip. These
will run close race with the sunburnt
rough straws. These have the brims
turned up on one side, and nearly all of
the hats have the crowns in the beef eat
er shape-that is to say, the upper part
is larger around than the lower. There
are some 'sunburnt 'straws, with fluted
borders of lace straw. | saw some Of
these in black also. They are very light
and appear becoming. The soft fats arc
turned up at both sides and bent down
in front and have masses Of flowers on
each side One very elegant one had
quantities Of pink oIeanders and their
foliage on each side, dropping down
quite low over the hair In the front
there were two crushed bows Of velvet,
one cherry color and one white. The
hat was Of gray chip.
The sailor shape for young people is
still a favorite, and there is q great va
riety of straws with brims generally re-
calling the sailor form, but yet each
showing some slight difference
In bonnets the variety is even greater.
The straw shapes are no larger than
doll hats, and the crowns are often Of
the most pronounced beef eater form To
I these are affixed the trimmings These
may be flowers in springtime abun-
dance, or they may be ribbon, feathers,
velvet or lace with spangles Spangles,
by the way, are seen everywhere. The
most usual manner Of using them is to
sew them to net foundations, in the
form of butterflies, humming birds
wings. dragon flies or such fancies.
These are spread out widely and rather
low than high. Osprey aigrets are en-
ployed to add lightness and feathery
grace to almost all bonnets. The span
giles are in jet and metallic and enamel
eolors, some of them being very bril-
liant and all beautiful.
One lovely bonnet was of rough sun
burnt straw with a pulled drapery Of
coral velvet in front and around the
edges. On each side there were two but
terfiy wings of white net covered with
FURNISHED copper spangles. Above these
stood two black aigrets with black jet
frosting on them. The whole bonnet

IThe following lines were written on the
back of picture at Mount Vernon by Rev.
William Day.l
There dwelt the Man, the flower Of human
kind,
Whose visage mild bespoke his nobier mind
There dwelt the Soldier, who his sword ne'eI
drew
But in righteous cause. to freedom true.
There dwelt the Hero. who ne'er killed fol
fame,
Yet gained more glory than C9sar's name.
There dwelt the Statesman. who. devoid Of
art,
Gave soundest counsels from an upright heart
And, o Columbia, by thy sons caressed
There dwell the Father Of the realms he
blessed;
Who no wish felt to make his might praise,
Like other chiefs, the means himself to raise;
But there retiring, breathed in pure renown,
And felt grandeur that disdained crown.

One Of those grammarian friends met
me the other day and asked me which

Tomorrow will be Sunday" told
him the following story: Years ago the
Reading Railroad company issued an
order requiring its brakemen, as soon as
train started from any station, to call
out the name Of the next stopping place
For awhile the trainmen, instructed
doubtless by some grammarian Of the
road, would do this by saying, Next
station will be'-Allentown, Reading,
etc. An editor took them To task for il.
pointing ont the absurdity of using the
future tense in speaking OF that which
always is in the same place After that
the brakemen dropped ''will be- and
cried, Next station" - Allentown,

writer forms. There are forms for let
ters, forms for business transactions and
also for legal correspondence and docu-
ments Aided by this book, typewriter

Mills consulted lawyers to make sure
that the legal and commercial forms
were correct. The book also contains

with everything else and never to be
obtrusive or inharmoniOus.
The simple little matchsafe shown is
extremely easy to make and very useful
at the same time, as it can either be put
to its legitimate use or made to contain
hairpins, as you may prefer.
At any Of the shops devoted to orien-
tai goods purchase a fan of the sort il
lustrated, tiny dressed doll and round
wicker basket. With these and little
patience you can do all the work First
cut strip of cardboard big enough to
sustain the doll and about half an inch
wider than you wish it to appear. Then
cut a slit in your fan near the lower
edge, pass the cardboard through it for
the extra half inch, bend it down and
paste it firmly into place
When 80 much is done and the stand
is quite firm, place the doll upon it and
sew it fast to the fan by stitches taken
though the back Arrange the basket
against the fan at just sucb point as
will allow the dolls hand to rest upon
its edge and catch it in by means Of
stitches taken through the fan.
Lastly. attach ribbon to the upper
edge by which to hang the fan upon the
wall and fill the basket with matches OF
with hairpins, az you choose.
