hence the anger of Nine. Bcrnhardt.
When tho actress and the author met,
the former passed OH tho other side; tho
latter pulled his hat down over his
eyes. Each murmured something not at
all complimentary to tho other.
Then Sarah Bernhardt left tho Come

she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to Franco. Upon her arrival
in Paris she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Dcslande, manager OF
the Vaudeville. She asked nothing bet

she play? She did not wish to return to
classical roles. Sho wanted an entirely
new play, which should bring out oil

''There is only one man who car

TASTED Three Years.

A famous Hindoo fasting man has
Just passed away i'll India. Some years
ago he appeared ut Trevandrum and sat
down under banyan tree to spend his
time in divine contemplation. At hrst
he ate at long intervals, but the fasts
extended till ut last he ate nothing for
three years. He simply sat huddled be-
fore fire, deaf to all speech and sounds.
He was worshiped almost rs n god, and
when he died was buried with curious
ceremonies A hundred cocoanuts were
broken on his skull TO make a crack for
the soul to escape.-London Graphic.

1t is doubtful if such a condition O;

business has ever before been witnessed
by our naturally wide awake dealers.
Scarcely a leading manufacturer Of
wheels but has found his sales--through
agents greater in number than he ever
supposed it was within his ability to
gather-so far surpass his most sanguine
expectations that he is today unable to
supply to any appreciable extent the
constant, steady and increasing demand

Puff Balls Good to Eat.

Probably you have all noticed the lit
tie white puff balls in spring and "shot
off, the same in autumn. when they arc
dry and full Of dark powder. This is
one Of cur choicest eatable mushrooms.
One admirer says he cut slice from a
giant puff ball, which grew near his
home, every day for a week and had so
many fresh fritters, whereas, if he had
cut it all down the first day, it would
not have made nearly SO many meals.
One giant puff ball, when young and
creamy, if well cooked, will satisfy the
appetites Of ~ people. In olden times
slices of this mushroom were used to
bind up cuts and were said to insure
their speedy healing. In the days of
flint and steel, before matches We're in
vented. the powder Of the dried puff
balls was often used to catch and hold
the sparks. Another strange use to
which it was put was to burn it before
beehive. The fumes made the bees
drowsy, and the honey could be removed
without acknowledgements ". Leigh.

FEARLESS OF DANGER.

How Ono Of the Du Points Died In Pow
der Mill Explosion.
Thus far no Du Pont Of the famous
gunpowder making family of Delaware
has ever been false to the family law of
bravery, while more than one has given
his life in obeying it. One Saturday even
ing in the summer of 1857 Alexis 1. Du
Pont, son of Eleuthere, was in one Of the
mixing rooms with some Of his men, try
ing to SHIFT heavy yellow pine box. As
they slid the box along the floor, the
friction caused spark to strike, and
instantly the room was ablaze. Fortu-
nately most Of the gunpowder had been
taken ont, it being the end of the week,
but the walls and floor were sufficiently
sprinkled with it to cause a sharp puff,
which set the mems clothes ON fire.
Alexis, realizing the danger instantly,
and being himself in flames, called to
the men to follow him, and running out
of the building threw himself intotthe
mill race. The others did likewise, and
thus, for the moment, all were safe. But
Alexis, turning toward the mills as hi
swan, saw that sparks from the burning
mixing room were falling in showers or
the roof Of the press and cutting mill
which contained, as he knew, severa
tons of powder. In spite Of the appeal.
of the men, he rushed back to the poin
of danger, calling out as he ran, Nov
boys, pass me buckets of water"
Then he climbed fearlessly upon thu
roof, which was now nearly burned
through-for in those days the roof
were made Of pitch and cement-and be
gan fighting the flames as best he could

It is estimated that there are $50, DOC
cats in England and co varieties. With
the greater number of these varieties the
average reader is probably quite unfa-
Hiliar.
Tortoise shell and white toms arc very
common, says an English writer, but a
pure tortoise she'll tom is so extremely
scarce that many people declare that
they exist only in the imagination.
Any one who happens to possess fe-
male red tabby without any white spots
could obtain q price which would keep
him in comfort for at least a couple OF
years without work. Female red tabbies
are rs rare rs tortoise shell toms.
Tho taste in Persian cats just now
runs on the deep blue with orange col
ored eyes. Edward Lloyd, the tenor, had
one for which he repeatedly refused
$50. The bright slate or blue is ia
vorite variety of tho Persian, the price
sometimes going as high as $125.
White cats Of really herculean proper
lions readily fetch $500. The Marquis
Of Dufferin is extremely partial to white
cats, upward of dozen of these splendid
creatures being comfortably domiciled
at the British embassy in Paris.
Russian cats fetch high prices. The
Duchess of Bedford owns several OF q
species extremely rare-a very curious
tint Of blue. Russian white cats ere also
mighty priced, but the white variety il
seldom long haired.
Mr.. Sam Woodiwiss is tho owner of 9
smooth haired tom, Xenophon, Of sucf
gigantic proportions that when the
writer, after an Introduction, induced
the cat to approach by calling in seduc
tive accents, he experienced a feeling
akin to dismay as the mammoth jumped

taxable signs of fatigue, and no wondel
