Success is often achieved by tracing
the footsteps of those who have become

successful, writes an admirer OF Miss
Lucia b. Grifin's talents and work.
The students and lovers of the art of
mimicry will doubtless be profited
by a glimpse of this wonderful genius,
who has no superiors in her chosen
field, and who is a superb model for
all who wish to attain success in this
direction. Being still active amid the
most brilliant achievements while yet
in the bloom of youth, her fame bids
fair to encircle the globe. A native Of
Iowa, she is the embodiment of west

Natures open book has ever been her
great study and inspiration. This peer

vulsed the largest audiences from New

Spiders throw off injured legs and re.

likewise grow new fms, lizards their
tails. Snails and beetles supply their
injured and lost antennae and tenta-

been known to regenerate their de-
stroyed cerebrum, together with its

feathers, fishes their injured scales and
frogs their broken legs. Spallanzani
