sARTLETT'S QUOTATIONS.

Gray's "Elegy" More Nearly Completely
Quoted Than Any Other Poem.
A student at Excelsior Springs, be-
ing under tho impression that the
whole Of Longfellow's psalm Of Life
had been given In "Bartlett's Familiar
Quotations." wrote to Mr.. Bartlett ask.
ing him IL any other poet had been
similarly honored by him In the com.
pilation Of his famous book.
In reply Mr.. Bartlett wrote:
II have not given all OF LonRfellow's
Psalm Of Life In my Familiar Quota
tons The omitted stanzas. 3, 5 and
8, are familiar, but less so than the
others. Hundreds of lines from his
poems might have been aided with pro-
priety, but ] was obliged to draw the
line somewhere.
''Gray's 'Elegy' is relatively more
nearly complete than any other poem"

~Geographers are still vexed with the
difficulty of presenting truthfully to the
eye Of the pupil the relative areas of
the states Of the union. The New Eng
land states, by reason Of their dense
population, have long occupied in the
school Biographies a map space quite
out Of proportion to their area, n few
children leave school with any clear
notion hat each OF several of the
smaller southern states Is about as big
as all New England put together. II
Texas were represented in proportion
to the space usually accorded to Rhode
Island in the school Biographies the
great southwestern state would have
to itself a map fully a yard square.

While Casimir-Perier was president
OF France he was decorated with the
Russian order of st. Andrew, a great
compliment, for the distinction is en-
joyed by only nine other persons who
are not of royal rank. mons them
Bismarck, Caprivi and Hohenlohe.
So precious is this decoration that ever
at home there are not more than half
a dozen Russians outside the reigning

created by Catherine l, and the only
lady on whom the decoration was con.
ferred was the mother of the czar.

Dwarfs Famous in History.

Marcus Antonius possessed dwarf.
Sisyphus, not quite two feet tall, ana yet
the possessor of remarkable wit.
The page of honor to Mary Tudor, John
Jervis by name, was one OF the tiniest
dwarfs of his day.
Julia, the niece of the famous Augustus,
had in her service two pigmies-Canopus,
twenty-nine inches high, and Andromeda,
her freed maid, who measured just the
same height.
Poland, in the fourteenth century, had a
pigmy King, Ladislas the Short, who won
more victories than any other northern
monarch of his time and who left great
name as jurist, statesman and ruler.
Christian III of Denmark had a wee
dwarf to attend him, who was faithful to
his master, even in adversely. He went to
prison with the King, planned and almost
effected the royal escape.
King Charles II of England had in court
pigmy, Richard Gibson. This mite mar
red Anne Shepherd, the Queens dwarf,
each being forty-six inches tall. Gibson
was quite an artist and his miniatures and
portraits are much valued.
The favorite of Queen Henrietta Maria
of England, Sir Jeffry Hudson, was pre-
sented to her Majesty in pie, completely
armed as knight. He proved gallant,
fiery little fellow, and of considerable SER
vice to the royal family. He became a
captain of horse in the civil wars and fol-
lowed his mistress to France.

FOR THE LADIES.

Probably woman would be bride to
her husband longer if she would continue
making company of him. Most women
begin to save their jam for visitors when
they have been married three months.
There are now twenty-five women in
Chicago who are practicing lawyers. and
fifteen more will soon be admitted TO the
bar.
The ''new women" are coming to the
front in Finland, too. They have formed
volunteer fire brigades in Helsingfors and
other towns, and have done tirst-rate work.
Massillon, the great French preacher,
had a sngularly talented mother, whose
influence over his life was unbounded.
take your needle, my child, and work
at your pattern, it will come out rose by
and by" Life is like that-one stitch at a
time taken patiently, and the pattern will
come out all right like the embroidery. =
Oliver Wendell Holmes.
Lady Noveys has come out in the Lady
Cyclist in England to say that she con-
siders the rational dress "perfectly hor-
rible.' She says that Lady Dudley, Lady
Wolverton and Lady Lurgan all cycle, but
not one of them would appear on her
machine without skirt over her kncker-
bockers." That ought to settle it.
Christine Nilsson went to Sweden re-
Gently to attend the wedding of nephew
which occurred in the little village near
which she was born. The young man will
eventually inherit the farm on which the
celebrated singer first saw the light OF day.
She bought it with almost the first money
she earned with her voice and presented
the land to her eldest brother, her parents
then being dead.
Artist George G. lockwood of New York
contributes this story of the Cary sisters:
1T is well known that the gifted writers,
Alice and Phoebe Cary, declined matri
mony, yet were always letting off their wit
at their spinster condition. One Sunday
evening Horace Greeley, Frank Carpenter
and other friends were dining with them,
when Phoebe had SO stirred up Mr.. Greeley
