One woman's studies.

That very clever, very successful
and admirable woman, Mrs. Rorer,
studied and conquered many things be-
fore she learned to cook. To begin
with she had a college training at
Aurora, and, having inherited a taste
for chemistry from her father, who
was both physician and chemist, she
wished TO become a pharmacist. That
was before the way was smoothed for
INT who wished to do unusual
things, and she abandoned the plan be-
cause the way was made so disagree
able by fellow-students. After that
she learned wood carving and took a
course in carpentering, which may ac-
count for the grace with which she
uses her hands and arms. She studied
cooking for the good of her family
and it was with the same thought and
to build up one of her W children,
who was delicate, that she gained that
scientific knowledge that since has
made her a bencfactor to so many
other mothers.-New York Post.

~LOok at the MAN Lying butEtt hat

Dixon stood before them. A thrill ran
through every breast as they saw him.
A score OF years might have passed
over him and not have wrought the
change Of this n night. The assured
carriage. the look of strength and
power and pride had vanished. The
broad shoulders stopped. The AIR
was matted on g furrowed brow, the
features pinched and livfd.
He let his dim eyes wander over the
faces OF those present a moment: then,
in a strained, husky voice, began
speaking:

me your respect and confidence and
amor look at the man lying there

words that strange, toneless voice

A great master of the art of throw
ing off stories by daily instalments
was Ponson du Terrail. When he was
at the height of his vogue, he kept
three running at the same time In diff
ferent papers. His fertile imagination
was never 1t a loss, but his memory
frequently was. He was apt to forget
to-day what he did with n hero or
heroine yesterday. To help his MEM
ory he at first noted down briefly in
copy books what happened to his men
and women but finding that often he
could not read his own writing. he in
vented a new system. He procured Ut
tie leaden figures on which he gummed
the names OF his characters as they
were born. ~SuppOSing there were
three stories running there were three
sets of figures In different drawers.
When a character was settled off, the
little man or woman in lead was taken
away from it's companions and laid
aside.
One day when Ponson du Terrail
was all behind in his work, he set
himself 10 his task without examining
the slain. His bad memory led him
into a terrible blunder. He had for
gotten that he had killed Rocamboie
the still famous Rocambole-in the
previous feulleton, and, TO the great
surprise OF the reader, he made him
talk again as if nothing out of the COM
mon had befallen him. This resuscita-
ton OF Rocambole Is N of the most
curious things in the history of the
romnn feuiiieton.- Roston Transcript.
