(Fron, The 81. Louis Chroaicle.)
One of the most conspicuous figures in the
Stageland of America to-day is John ". Nor
J ton. Born in the seventh ward OF New York
City forty-six years ago. the friends OF his
youth we're Thomas ". Keene and Frank
Chantrau. We find Keene star at the age
OF 25 and Norton in the flower Of early man
hood the leading man for Edwin Booth at
the famous Winter Garden Theatre. He
was starred with Lawrence Barrett early in
the 7os, and alternated the leading roles
with Charles Thorne at the Variety Theatre
in New Orleans. Early in the Centennial
year, in Louisville, Norton met our Mary
Anderson, then fair young girl who aspired
for stage fame, took her under his guidance
and, as everybody knows, led her to fame.
Mr.. Norton is now the proprietor OF the
Grand Opera House in St. Louis, the Du
Quesne Theatre, Pittsburg. and one Of the
stockholders In the American Extravaganza
Company.
One afternoon early in June he hobbled
into his New York Office on Broadway and
encountered his business manager, George
McManus, who bad also been rheumatic SUI
ferer for two years. Norton was surprised
that McManus had discarded his cane. Who
cured you? he asked. 81 cured myself" re-
piled McManus, "with DR.. Williams Pink
Pills"
81 was encouraged by Mr. McManus' cure
and as last resort tried the Pink Pills my
self" said Mr.. Norton to Chronicle re-
porter, "You have known me for five years
and know how have suffered. Why, dur
ing the summer Of 1893 was on my back at
the Mullanphy Hospital, In this city, four
weeks. I WAS put on the old system OF diet
ing, with a view to clearing those acidulous
properties in my blood that medical theorists
say is the cause of my rheumatism. lett
the Hospital feeling stronger, but the first
damp weather brought with it those excru-
ciating pains in the legs and back. It was
the same old trouble. After sitting down
for stretch of five minutes the pains
screwed my legs into a knot when arose,
and hobbled as painfully as ever. After
had taken my first box of Pink Pills It struck
me that the pains were less troublesome. l
tried another box, and began almost un-
consciously to have faith in the Pink Pills.
Improved so rapidly that could rise after
sitting at my desk for an hour and the
twinges of rheumatism that accompanied my
rising were so mild. that scarcely noticed
them. During the past two weeks We have
had much rainy weather in st. Louis. But
the danpness has not had the slightest effect
in bringing back the rheumatism, which
consider sufficient and reliable test OF the
efficacy of Pink Pills. may also say that
the Pink Pills have acted as tonic on my
stomach, which thought was we'll nigh de.
stroyed by the thousand and one alleged
remedies consumed in the past five years"

Monster of Former Ages.

L. W. Stacy, who is in from Pow
der River roundup, tells of the find
ing of the carcass of some extinct
monster whose remains are as large
but unlike the mastodon. Mr.. Stacy
says it was on the east fork of the
Powder River that number of men
were out when one of them discovered
an immense spinal column in the sand
equal in size to that of the mastodon.
The head of the animal is gone, but
there remains, including the tail.
thirty feet of the vertebra and tail
bones. .....
It was at first supposed that the
bones found were of some monster
serpent, but on closer examination it
was found that the remains of legs
were buried in the ground to the
depth of seven feet.-Yellowstone

Photographic Competition.

No better proof, could be found of
the wonderful advance which has been
made in the art of instantaneous pho
Biography than a competition which
las just been arranged in Geneva be-
tween members Of leading camera
clubs and Photographic societies of
Switzerland, France, Austria and
England. The subject proposed for
the competition is the determination
by photography of the shape assumed
by q drop of water while in the act of
falling through the air.
A series of prizes in the form of
medals is offered for the most success
full photographs. It is required that
only distilled water shall be used
that the size of the tube from which
the drop is caused to fall shall be &C.
curately ascertained.
Moreover, it is requir ed that it
shall be known how far the drop has
fallen at the instant it is photo
graphed; and that effective precau-
tions shall be taken to prevent any
current of air from disturbing the
drop in its descent. &C.. ...
Only few years ago it would have
seemed chimerical to propose such q
Photographic feat as this, but now
that running horses, leaping athletes,
flying bullets and Lightning have been
compelled to print their images on
the sensitive plate, it appears an easy
thing to photograph falling water so
perfectly that science may thereby
learn. for the first time, precisely, the
shape of a raindrop-The Amusing

VARIOUS KINDS OF SLEEVES.

The enormous sleeve is still dear TO
the hearts of fashionable women. 1t
is wide and droopy, and says at the
elbow. 1t is amodiied, transmogrified
lego mutton sleeve built on an en-
tended plan, then drawn in and gath
cred and plated so that the superfu-
GUS and aggressive fullness may not
so much puff it out US cause it to bag
in graceful shape.
There is another modtl that mas q
top shaped like balloon. 1t is short
under the arm, where it is smooth snts
straight to the elbow. Theu it curves
out and is quite long from the top OF
the shoulder, but is pulled in at the
elbow all around and sewed to very
closely-ftted cuff of some contrasting
material. Velvet tops and cloth cuffs
are preferred, the cloth matching the
costume. Or the cuffs may be Of

Inyenting New Roses.

Although roses have been cultivated
from time immemorisl, the origina-'
ton of new kinds seems to have been
neglected until the beginning of this
century. The first systematic effort
to get improved roses from the seed
is recorded at the time of that lover
of roses, the Empress Josephine.
Dupont, her gardener, was among tho
foremost in this effort. He grew
seedlings from all the choicest roses
that could be obtained from the other
countries of Europe; yet in 1914
there were only 1872 varieties, while
in 1S47 there were 4500, and now their
name is legion. New York Post. &

WHAT WOMEN WEAR
FASHIONS LATEST DEGREES IN
FEMININE GARMENTS.
Comfortable and Handsome Crea-
tions in Vests-A Picturesque Ex-
ample Of the Styles in
Headgear.

THE vest is one of the features
of the season and will be
more extensively worn than
heretofore, if that were pos
sible. Vests with half low collar and
lapels slightly rounded out, with
double points and pockets, which are,
however, of no use, are the approved
models. Many ladies find vests and
waistcoats inconvenient in one re-
spect. Worn under blazer or jack
ct without shirt waist or blouse, the
contact of the sleeve of the outside
garment is decidedly unpleasant. To
remedy this sleeves of soft silk are
sewed in the armholes of the jacket.
They have simple bands at the wrists,
closed with button, or the hand may
slip through. The former is, how
ever, more comfortable, as the sleeve
stays in place and does not draw up
when the coat or jacket is put on.

TIE COMING SKIRT.

A fashion that is coming into favor
but slowly, and which is tolerated
only on account of its newness, IS
skirt of alternate ruffles of the ma
terial and wide bands of velvet put on
fiat. This style gives a woman the
effect of having been modelled after
wide-hooped cask, and is almost GER
tain to spoil the best figure ever owned
by lovely woman. 1t makes plain girl
hideous and gives pretty one sort
of misfit appearance not at oil to be
desired.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS on SPRING BoNNErs.

ARTIFICIAL FLOWERS ON SPRING BoNNETs.
Artificial flowers are developing
some new varieties for decking spring
bonnets, and the unpretentious potato
blossom is among the novelties.
Foliage without flowers, arranged In
upright "piqueus, will be much worn,
and also large silken peones in deep
rich shades formed in clusters of five
or six at the back of large hats. Lilac
leaves in the metallic colors of steel
and copper and bronze are another
novel idea.

There are no more cross-matched
sleeves seen in the best imported
stocks. The fancy was too absurd
and uncommon to receive favor for
any length of time. Indeed, it was
never popular with other than few
extremists, and these never set the
fashions for the conservative many.

GRAY GOWNS.

For young girls, light gray tailor
gowns are in great favor; and with
gray ostrich-feather boas or the full
shoulder capes of chinchilla, and
touch of color at the throat, they are,
according to Demorest, vastly becom-
ing. The coats of these tailor gowns
are of medium length and the skirts
are oftener cut in one with the waist

The princess dress, once the most

becoming styles ever worn by woman,
is to be revived. A model that has

so that there are three box-plaits at
the back of the waist, with the full
