She Made Worth Famous.

It is not generally known that Worth
owed his first introduction to Empress
Eugene to Nine. Octave Feuillet, then
as now one of the most charming wom-
en- in Paris. Feuillet, then at the
beginning of his great career, had just
won the heart of the empress by writ
ing for her private theatricals LIE
Portraits de la MarQuise," il which his
royal patron took the principal part,
but which was so cleverly constructed
that none of the other characters were
allowed the slightest liberties with the
person of the empress. Soon after this
Nine. Feuillet dined at the Tuileries,
and Eugene complimented her upon
her gown and asked the name OF her
dressmaker. 'Your majesty, it is q
man-an Englishman. His name is
Worth, and he has only been in Paris
a. little WHILE" replied Nine. Feulllet.
Gle knows how to design woman's
dress" sail the empress critically.
''You n send him here So the lilac
dress of the playwright's wife made the
fortune Of Worth.

TEARING, RENDING, LACERATING
were resting was beautiful valley into
which the foot of mortal might not in
trude with impunity. It was inc1osed
with expresses and tall pines, so arched
and interlocked that they formed YER
dant screen for what the valley might
contain.
At the far end of the valley was a
cave, in making which nature had imi-
tated art, for the roof of the cave was
formed Of stones that fitted as perfectly
and delicately as if turned by the hand
of man.
Just within the entrance of this cave
was fountain, whose limpid waters
gushed joyously from the rock and
poured themselves into a round basin
whose edge was rim of never-dying
grass.
It was a spot of surprising beauty,
and no wonder the foliage of the cy-
presses and pines had contrived to hide
it from the gaze of the chance Wanderer,
for it was sacred to Diana, the chaSte
goddess of the hunt.
It was there that she repaired, when
weary of the chase, to battle her beauti-
full limbs in the clear water, for there
she was safe from all eyes, secure from
all intrusion.
That is to say, she had been free from
intrusion until the day Of which /
speak when Actaeon and his friends
were hunting in the adjoining woods.
Just at the time that the young prince
left his party and began to stroll aim
lessly about, the goddess had sought her
quiet retreat, accompanied by her
nymphs, and was preparing to take her
midday BATH
Laying down her spear, hes bow and
her culver filled with arrows, she threw
off her robe and stood there in the
midst of her fair attendants, the very
embodiment Of virgin loneliness and
beauty.
Suddenly her nymphs uttered joint
cry of amazement and alarm. for there,
looking at the sacred scene, was man,
the only one that had ever seen Diana
unrobedi
It was Actaeon, and surely 1t was the
Fates that led him thus to his destiny.
He was standing in the entrance to the
cave.
The nymphs crowded around the god
dess trying to conceal her by making a
screen of their bodies, but she over
topped them all, and they could not
hide her.
Over her face spread the blush
Of modesty surprised, and, obeying a

Broadway Moved to Wonder by the
Prayer of an italian Girl.
The girl looked to be about 16 years
DID, She and the elderly man, evident
ly her father, who walked beside her,
were two typical immigrants from
Italy. They had apparently just landed
at the Battery, and were walking up
Broadway, says New York Sun. The
man carried a big plaid carpet bag
under each arm, while the girl had an
old-fashioned cloth satchel. She wore
no hat, and her coal black hair hung
in braids down her back. She was
prettier than the average of her race.
She and her father, though finding their
luggage very heavy, kept looking at the
tall buildings on each side of the way
In open-eyed wonderment. Every once
in a while the girl would utter an ex-
clamation to her father, who would
shake his head approvingly.
They were walking on the west side
of Broadway and had got as far as
Trinity place. The girl looked at the
tombstones in Trinity churchyard
through the high iron railing for a
moment and then started on again.
She looked at the church as she neared
it /. When she got in front of the edi-
Gee, she saw the magnificent brass
doors. Then it was that she seemed to
think it was the shrine of a saint. She
called to the elderly man, who immedi-
ately removed his hat. The girl dropped
upon her knees and crossed herself.
She began to pray so earnestly that she
did not notice the crowd that was
rapidly forming around her. A big
policeman did though, and he elbowed
his way through. He looked at the girl
and hesitated. Then he braced up and
placed his hand on her shoulder. The
girl looked up in a surprised, fright
ened way, first at the big, uniformed
policeman and then at the crowd. Her
face became very deep red. She hur-
riedly rose to her feet, grasped the
elderly mans hand, and walked quick
Iy away through the opening which the
crowd unconsciously made.
"I had to do it," said the policeman
apologetically to the crowd. eff didn't
there would be a complaint against me
about letting a crowd collect. 1 felt
sorry for the girl, of course, but it's a
very common thing for Italian immi-
grants to mistake those loors on
Trinity for the shrine of some great
saint"

A SWELL TOAD.
That Puffs Himself Up to an Abnormal
Size,

That Puffs Himself Up to an Abnormal
Size.
The wonder of the genus batrachia
and the greatest natural history Oddity
to be found along the Atlantic coast Of
the United States is the swelling toad,
a semiaquatic creature known to natu-
ralists as bufomachalatus. 1t is &C.
casionally met with from New York
City to Jacksonville, Fla, but is most
common along the coasts of Virginia,
Maryland and North Carolina. When
in it's natural state the ''swell toad" is
about the size of large bullfrog, but
looks more like fish than it does like
either a frog or a toad. He is about
six inches in length and has the curious
faculty of being able to swell to the
size Of a Yale football, in which state
his legs, tail and head are scarcely
visible. Irritation appears to be the
chief factor in causing these curious
creatures to inhale air until they swell
almost to bursting. The bellies of both
the males and females are nearly pure
white and are covered with spines,
which give that portion of the anatomy
the appearance Of a ripened "jimpson"
burr. Persons who understand the
"swell toad" and know what an irrita-
Bile rascal he is catch him and rub the
spines on his belly until he swells up
until he is utterly helpless. Another
curious point about the creature is that
as long as he is kept on his back he is
unable to expel the air so as to reduce
thA swelling

REINFORCING THE BLOOD.
An Interesting Operation 80 Restore
Exhausted Vitality.

An interesting surgical operation, one
which is new to Springfield, was per-
formed about two weeks ago by DR.. w.
A. Smith, one of the new members of
the fraternity in Springfield, Mass,
says the Republican. The operation was
the infusion into an exhausted system
Of a saline solution to increase the sup
ply of blood. For years there have been
occasional operations of TRANSMISSION of
blood from the veins of one person to
those Of another to meet the same pur-
pose, but the operation is so dangerous
that it is rarely attempted, except in
cases Of the most urgent necessity. The
: danger comes in the likelihood of bub-
bles Of air getting into the blood which
is transfused, and these bubbles usually
mean death. When they have run their
course through the veins and reach the
heart, the heart needs to be kept full,
and the slight resistance Of the air is IN
sufficient to keep the valves working. 1t
was for this reason that the old method
went out. But out of it grew the method
Of infusing a solution Of salt and water
into the veins. The blood is saline and
the solution is transformed into blood
rapidly and produces an effect which is
was first attempted in Germany a year
or two ago, and has often been done in
Europe but perhaps never before in this
city. The patient in this case has been
suffering for long time with a tumor in
the abdomen, which has Slapped her vi
tally till her system could not stand the
cutting which was necessary. It was
found advisable to take this method of
strengthening the system, and the oper-
alton was performed at the Buscall Hos
pital on NATION street. The patient was
put under the influence Of anaesthetics
and the injection was made between the
breast and the muscles of the chest.
About pint of the solution was inject
ed, a fountain syringe being used. The
breast absorbs the fluid quickly into the
veins, and in this case whiting twelve
hours all the solution had been taken up
by the system. It has been quite sue
cessful, and the patient is so much
stronger that 1t is hoped that the re-
moval of the tumor can be attempted
before a, great while.

party of young mobiles were on the
chase.
Little cared they for the tender, re-
proachful look that is said to come
from the great eyes of the wounded
deer, nor for the agony of the poor
creature as it falls beneath the infu-
rated attack Of the dogs and lies there
torn and bleeding. If you had suggest
ed this phase of the question to them
they would, perhaps, have stared at
you in utter amazement.
It was their pleasure to hunt, to chase
the deer from it's quiet retreats into the
open gladeS, where their fierce dogs
might yelp at it's heels and finally leap
upon it's quivering TANKS and drag it to
the earth.
Or, if the hunters fortune favored
them, they might send their hurting
javelins into the vitals OF their prey
thus keeping for themselves the cruel
victory that usually hung upon the
sharp fangs Of their dogs.
But what would you have? It was an
age when men killed, not only brutes.
but each other, for the pure love of kill
ing, an age of blood-letting, of unbridled
passions, of cruelty and death.
No wonder, then, that these young
mobiles would have stared amazed if you
had suggested that their so-called sport
was the very essence of cruelty and
heartlessness; that they had the right tC
hunt game for food, but not the right &c
torture and kill inoffensive creatures for
the qualification Of a purely cruel in
stinct.
How would they have liked to change
nj Lot
story will tell you.
At the head of this party of young
mobiles was a handsome prince named
Actaeon, son Of the King CadmuS. He
was the pet of the court, brave, adven-
turous and sometimes reckless. Per-
haps he had his good points, as such
things went in those days, but on the
chase he was fearless, persistent, relent-
less, and the greatest happiness that
could befall him was to be Sin at the
DEATH"
All the forenoon had the party been
wetting their weapons with the blood OF
their victims, and when the sun-god
reached the midway point in his daily
course and was sending down his beams
hot upon the parched earth, Actaeon
proposed to his companions that they
rest in the shade Of the trees.
Calling in the dogs, they threw them
selves upon the sward, and while they
ate the viands that slaves had brought
with them and drank many deep
draughts of rich red wine, they gossiped
of the affairs at court and. told each
other many stories of individual adven-
ture.
Presently Actaeon, firing, perhaps, Of
the idle gossip of his friends, rose and
wandered off among the trees, wandered
idly, without a purpose, seeking in the
silence of the woods, mayhap, mo-
mentary distraction from the silly moth
ings with which his companions were
beguiling the time.
Now, not far from where the hunters

A forlorn and dreary spot is the site
of the South Fork dam. 1t was the
bursting of this great dam that flooded
Johnstown in May, 1889, killing about
9 500 people This Conemaugh lake, as
It was sometimes called, was fourteen
miles above Johnstown. Upon its
shores stand twenty-five cottages, most
ly owned by wealthy residents of West
ern Pennsylvania. After the lake had
gone and the water accomplished its
destructive work the place was de-
serted and has only been visited by
sightseers, eager to gaze upon the trap
that caused a calamity known to the
world.

DOING MUCH GOOD.
The Peabody Normal Institute at Aberdeen a Great Sueeess-Knd Words for the
 Several Principals.

Aberdeen, Miss, June 25.-tSpecial Cor respondence.)- .)-The fourth week of the Peabody Normal institute, so ably con ducted by Superintendent J. H. Phillips of Birmingham, opened with good at tendance, ,5SO members being enrolled. The interest and enthusiasm of the most ex- cellent faculty are reflected by the earn est body of teachers from northeast Mississippi Last week the teachers were fortunate in having lectures on "Peda- gogy and School Management" by the eminent educator pr. |. l.. White oi Columbus, 0.
 The Model School" under the direction of Miss Minnie Holman of Nashville, is one of the most interesting and useful de- partments of the normal institute. Those who know Miss Holman do hut need to be told of her charming personality, which has captured all hearts. For three summers now Miss Holman has added in great measure to the attractive and most useful features oI the Peabody Nor nal institute, and Mississippi teachers 1eel that they are greatly indebted to her for new insight into child nature, and applications Of new primary methods thereto.
 Miss Annette Muslin of the Henley school, Birmingham, assists most eftec- lively Miss Holman Tn her primary work, but IL is in her physical culture work that Miss Muslin is most charming. A better object lesson could not well have been given to Mississippi teachers to convince them Of the grace and charm of such eX- ercises. Aberdeenians have quite fallen in love with this most graceful maiden, and are her willing pupils, learning tr0n her more lessons than that of healthful movement.
 Miss Ida Duncan of Jackson has prob ably created quite as lively an interest as any of the other lecturers. Her les sons in United States history are well at tended and enjoyed most thoroughly
 The teachers are very regretTul over the departure on Saturday of one of the most attractive lecturers, Prof. George Creelman of the Agricultural and Me chanical college. Professor Creelmans lectures on Biology" were instructive and interesting, and were made doubly so by the delightful manner of the lec- turer
 Most excellent work is being given by pr. Phillips, MT. Roof of the Henley school and Mr. Rose of Aberdeen.
 In fact if our small heads can carry all we have the opportunity of learning at the Aberdeen Normal institute the schools of northeast Mississippi will be greatly improved, and Mississippi will re- tain the reputation of being the most pro gresslve state in the. educational world
