NARROWING HYMNS.
More Painful 60 the Innocent and suffer-

Ono Of our wittiest variety show jokers

ing forward and asking, nfter glancing at
card he holds, lis Mr. Erastus Baker in
the houseS" There being no response, he
repeats this query and then goes on:
"Well, there's a woman at tho stage door
with bill for washing, and she's looking
for Mr.. Erastus Baker Now, I'm going
20 sing, and II any one goes out during
my song I'll have placed this gentleman"
Knowing tho performers ready and un-
sparing wit, his hearers are pretty sure to
wait till he is through before leaving the
theater. This entertainers trick Of hold
ing his hearers was brought to my mind
by an incident In a gospel temperance
meeting" in a modest west side church.
There was nothing in the programme to
attract attention to 1t as promising any
thing different from the usual gathering
of the kind, but 1t was made especially in
teresting by an unexpected discussion be-
tween the pastor and young man in the
audience. The services had been in prog
ress but few minutes when the pastor
announced:
1--WE will now sing the hymn, 'Oh,
Where Is My Wandering Boy Tonight /"
and he proceeded to read the familiar lines
of the first stanza. While he was reading
the young man, a stranger, rose from his
pew and started toward the door. The
clergyman, eager TO point a moral, sup.
pose, Immediately called out:
Better stay here, brother This is the
place for your mothers wandering boy"
The stranger stopped, turned about and
standing in the aisle responded
II may or may not be such q one as the
hymn describes, but will tell you frank
ly that l leave this meeting simply because
you are going TO sing that hymn. The
hymn does not reach the wandering boys
heart, because he is not here, but that is
Of little matter compared with the need
less suffering you inflict on tho mothers
who may bo and doubtless are present. -

The Story Telling Meter.

1t has for long time been the belief
that meters for gas and water were not as
reliable rs the companies would like to
have consumers believe. Interested per-
sons at Mannheim, Germany, have been
investigating meters, with results not at
all favorable to the meters themselves.
Many Of them have registered far more
than was consumed, and, as a rule, they
were neither accurate nor regular The
vibrations due to bad plumbing and other
causes accounted for some Of the waste,
and check valve and air chamber were
recommended in order to equalize the
pressure 1t is said that very sudden shut
ting off Of either gas or water will cause
the meter to overregister. There should
be some simple and effective way to regu-
late meters. As matters now stand the
producer has things all his own way, and
the consumer has no redress whatever

PoIiteness In an Emergency.

Colonel William Nave's chivalry and
politeness are household words out west.
One day the colonel was a passenger on q
western train which was held up by train
robbers. While the robbers were going
through tho passengers it was whispered
around that tho leader was none other
than the notorious Jesse James, When it
came to Colonel Naves turn to empty his
pockets, he said TO the leader, Am cor
reotly informed, sir, that have the honor
of being robbed by the celebrated Jesse
JamesH" -
That's my name, sir, " was the reply.
"Thon, sir, tender you my regrets and
apologies" said Colonel Nave II am
mortified to say that have only 49,. so in
my clothes. If had anticipated this dis.
tinguished privilege, assure you that 1
would have been better supplied with cur
rency. However, happen to have blank
check, and If you will allow me 1 will
take great deal Of pleasure in filling it
out, payable to your order"
"Well, I'll bo blessed You're a cool
one" " said the robber chief But I'll be
hanged il you shall outdo me in polite
ness. You can keep your $3.50 and your
check too"
but I insist, sirl'
"Oh, you be hanged" said James, and
he went on and lifted the next passengers

Mrs. Dunlap Hopkins.

Few American women have found in
foreign lands the spontaneous recogni-
tion of their abilities accorded to Mrs.
Dunlap Hopkins of New York. She has
been recognized at home as the one of
their sex to whom women Of intellect
and industry owe more than to any 9th
or. 1t need hardly be said that this lady
is the founder of the New York School
Of Applied Design For Women, the
school for which there had been such
great need that it was self supporting
from the opening day; the school where
women learn to become painters, arohi-
tects, designers, illustrators; where
girls are transformed from creatures of
impulse to women of high purpose and
achievement.
Mrs. Hopkins has left the country for
awhile She sailed ON Dec. 8. The
news of the glorious success of the school
which she inspired and founded spread
to other lands, and the English people
begged that we spare her for time that
their girls might be taught applied art
as our young women are taught applied
art. The Princess Christian, second
daughter of Queen Victoria, herself
pleaded that Mrs. Hopkins come to
them.
France, Germany and Canada have
entreated that Mrs. Hopkins teach to
them the new gospel in art, the union
Of the ideal and the practical. In time
she may go to them. England has her
now.
Mrs. Hopkins was born in New York
city, educated abroad. She has never
known money limitation. For years she
was regarded as one Of the most beauti-
full, intellectual, brilliant women Of
New York society. But there came q
time when her interests broadened so
that the life Of society woman was
insufficient. For long period she was
i'll During her illness the school was
planned. With the recovery of her
health the school became q reality.
There are those who say that it is the
extreme of folly for beautiful, higbborn
woman to spend eight hours a day in
school with young ladies who are not
rich and are without ancestors Of note.
But the matter Of money and ancestors
is very small one with her. Indeed
she appears 10 find 1t more to the credit
of her young friends when they do de-.
velop themselves from humble begin

THE BIeHoRN DISAPPEARING.
This Noble Native American Sheep Threat.
ened with Extinction.


The magnificent bighorn seems destined
to follow the bison to tho happy hunting
grounds, where their native hunters have
preceded them both. A few still survive in
the National park, but from late advices
fear their rapid disappearance is at hand.
They are still to be found, however, in
northern British America and Alaska.
The bighorn is one of the noblest Of the
bovine race. Compared with the domestic
sheep, it Is in every respect handsomer,
more spirited and graceful, as well as
larger and much more Intelligent. The
limbs are long and sinewy, the neck rather
short--a long necked animal could never
carry such head piece-the eyes are rath-
er full and placed far back in the head, so
as to take In q broad range Of vision; the
hoofs are pointed, like those of goat.
The bottom of the hoof is soft and GOV.
cred with hair and is bordered by sharp
rim of horn, giving the structure degree
of elasticity and flrmness that enables it to
rest secure where the hoofs Of other man.
mails would find no foothold. A full
grown male bighorn measures as much as
42 inches in height at the shoulder and
weighs almost $50 pounds.
The peculiar glory of this animal, as Is
recognized in his popular name, is the
enormous size of the horns of the male
These magnificent appendages have been
known to measure feet inches along
the curve and Is inches in circumference
at the base. The hollow horn of an adult
will hold two gallons, and it has been
sometimes used, though inoonveniently
shaped for the purpose, by the Indians as

The New Woman In Franco.

The Pail Mall Gazette has been gath
ering the opinions Of some of the French
novelists concerning the new woman.
"In woman / see only the mother, I"
says Daudet-and this is exactly what
the advanced woman has been COM
planning of. She wants him to see the
citizen as we'll. Dumas cries, "a man
is being of more value, but woman
is a being of better value" Mendes,
being asked if woman was superior or
inferior, replied ''She is neither. She
is only different, and that is an equal
ity." Mirabeau exclaims, 'How can
the men estimate her political worth so
long as we are blinded by her charms?"
"When she condescends to become
equal with man." says Lott, "the race
will die of shame" "She is braiding
silken whips, says Zola. 'By and by
she will put them in the hands of the
man she loves, and he will whip her
back to subsection with laughter "

Mary Thornycroft, the Artist Mother
of Artists.

Born at Thornham in Norfolk in
1914, the venerable widow of the late
Thomas Thornyoroft, sculptor, who
passed from among us on the LIST of
February, leaves behind her the sweet
SAVIOR Of life Of talent and industry,
coupled with the warm regard of all her
friends. Daughter Of John Francis, who
died in 1861 at the same age as his
daughter, Mrs. Thornycroft early ex-
hibited that love of Plastic art of which
her father was also a professor of note
There is one of his works in the Ma
tional Portrait gallery-a bust of the
Duke of Wellington.-that is a fair ex.
ample of the skill that found its author
sitters among more than one crowned
head and many Of the most distinguish
ed persons of his time. Working in her
fathers studio, with the gentleman as
fellow pupil who subsequently became
her husband, the young lady made rapid
progress in her profession and soon COM
menced exhibiting busts and other
works at the Royal academy, where she
continued to be represented for many
years. Leaving Norfolk for the metrop-

oils, she married Mr.. Thornycroft and
went with her husband to Rome, where
her earnestly enthusiastic nature was
more than gratified with the splendid
ideals Of ancient art. There also she
met with Thorwaldsen and Gibson, who
were struck with admiration at the tai
ent her work exhibited. Subsequently
Gibson, when asked by the queen to
model some of the royal children, re-
sponded by recommending Mrs. Thorny-
croft as being even better able to do
justice to the task than himself.
This led to series of commissions
from her majesty and the prince con-
sort, the results Of which are to be seen
at Windsor Osborne and Buckingham
palace 1t is scarcely necessary to emu
merate more than few Of Mrs. Thorny-
croft's very numerous works. In 1847
she had in the Royal academy a marble
bust of II. II. H. the Prince of Wales
In 1859 she exhibited likenesses of the
Hon. Miss Stanhope and Lord Clan
maurice, and in the next year Of her
majesty the queen and of H.. r. II.
the Duchess of Gloucester, then in her
seventy year, and in 1856 of
Viscount Petersham.
Mrs. Thornycroft's two sons, John
Isaac Thornycroft and Hamo W.
Thornycroft, r. A., are distinguished
in their vocations. The former is known
throughout Europe as highly scientific
constructor of torpedo boats, while as to
the latter he is our great sculptor, and
we will undertake to say there is not an
artist among us who is not proud of
him. And in order that the artistic
faculty may not be wholly limited to
the male sex at least one Of the daugh-
ters, Miss Helen Thornycroft, who has
just been elected vice president of the
Society of Lady Artists, has long been

A GREAT AGREEMENT.
$4,000 Physicians of One Mind.
Food for Strength First. - Medicine for
Cure Second. The Least Food that
will give Most Nourishment, the Kind.

Food for Strength First. = Medicine for
Cure Second. = The Least Food that
will give Most Nourishment, the Kind.
In this enlightened age, the old theory
held by physicians - to get as much medi-
cine in the least possible time into the
system of patient, even at the expense
of stomach, blood, brains, nerves, and
often, in the end, life itself = has been
abandoned.
The old way was to "dose." II the
patient had tremendous constitution,
he sometimes "pulled through" If not,
which was more often the case, that spe-
cial disease was considered more danger
Gus, as 1t had claimed another for its own.
But this is all changed now. All promi-
nent physicians agree on one subject, any
way. 1t Is this build the patient up
first, give him new blood and strength,
add flesh to his bones. He's then ready
to receive the benefit of proper medical
treatment.
To do this effectually, that must be given
which will, in the least quantity, produce
the greatest amount of vitality, - not a
stlmulant which quickly reacts disastrous
ly, but genuine food, a muscle, bone,
and blood maker. Such food was long
sought for, and at last discovered in that
original and only raw food extract
Bovinine.
By the use of this wonderful life-gene-
rating preparation, every organ of the
body becoming strengthened by nourish-
ment, naturally begins to perform its ordi-
nary functions, and at once the patient is
on the road to recovery.
1t is this result, obtained in hundreds
of cases where Bovinine has been used,
that has caused It's Endorsement by 200
prominent physicians in America.
In addition, thousands who have been
benefited can vouch for the wonderful re-
suits obtained by the use of Bovinine,
for invalids, the old, convalescents, the
over-worked, or, In fact, all who have
1esh, and vigor.
