Sara Bernhardt do not stoop to the style
of play that admits of a modern costume.
Hence the seeker after fame passes them
by and goes straight TO the variety stage.
1t may be a shock to those dignited peo-
pie who would not cross the threshold of a
vaudeville theater to be told that the very
costumes which they have upon their
straiSht-laced backs were first made fash
ionable by variety actresses.
An interesting case in point is the pro-
SreSs of the reform in sleeves. Early in
;he winter We were told positively that
sleeves were smaller, but We looked in vain
on the streets of fashionable Paris and
New York for evidences Of this diminu-
lion. 1t was not until Crane came out with

CURE FOR CONSUMPTION.
An Illinois Man Claims to have
Made a Great Discovery.

Elgin, H., May 13.-The discovery
of new process for the cure o. con-
sumption by DIR. w. A. Sheppard, of
this city, is topic of conversation.
The treatment is based on the princi-
pie of inhalation and exhaltation, APP
piled bya device which introduces in
to the deceased lung cells healing
remedies. The instrument Is cylin-
drical, about twenty inches high and
seven inches in diameter, and con-
tains two compartments, one above
the other. In the lower is the medi-
cine which saturates the air that is
taken into the lungs, and in the upper
ia register for measuring the quaint
ty of the air taken into and expelled
from the lungs. About an hundred
consumptatives, it is said have been
cured by the treatment.

SOME REASONS
Why a Man Should Remain Single
Says a Happy Married Man.

A London periodical recently offer
ed prize to the contributor who
could send ia twelve best reasons why
man should not marry. The fol-
lowing, from writer who signs him

awarded the prize:
l. IT a man is naturally selfish, for
goodness sake let him always look
after No. /.
2. If his mother is the best cook in
the world, let him stop with her.
3. If, whenever he opens his mouth
he is always putting his foot into it, he
had better never propose to girl.
A. If he is a thorough miser, il
were better for him to remain singu-
lar-ly miserable.
b. If he is generally woman
hater, let him become a hermit in the
Isle of Man.
| g. If he detests children and calls
them pests, he is evidently unciSilized
and unworthy to frequent the haunts
of a civilized community.
7. physically aud constitutional.

ing less than criminal for him &c

s. If man is blessed with good
sister to whom he is ever unkind and
even cruel, he is certainly unsuitable
for partner to any one else's sister.
3. If a man is earning a less salary
than the woman whom he might care
to mary is earning, let him not marry
her.
10. If man would be likely t(
prefer after marriage the company
of club associates and the pleasures o
the billiard table TO the sweet compan
ship of the wife and the hallowe(
happiness of home, let him refrain
from thinking of marrying.
IL. If man will be unable t,
maintain wife as comfortably as sh,
has been used to, and unless he ha
something saved toward future unfor
seen eventualities, he had better re

II. If he would be unwilling t

which, in the event of his marrying
would, if found out, cause endles
trouble and life long unhappiness, lie

The late Edward Partridge, who
played with millions in the Chicago
whear-pir as il they were pennies, was
one of the most plainly dressed and
inconspicuous men on the floor. He
used to walk unconcernedly about the
exchange on the most exciting days,
never looking up except to give a
slight signal that would set his brok-
-ers buying or selling like mad. He
made and lost many fortunes. When
he "went broke" he would disappear
for few days, and in short time he
would wrest another fortune from the
pit and settle up his Indebtedness. He
never gave notes. He leaves fortune
of about million dollars, and his wife
has twice as much more, given to her

in many instances If the farmer had
taken proper care of his corn fodder,
either by dry curing or putting it in
silos, he might have gotten along
without buying any hay. Many far
mers also have bought hay when they
should have used linseed meal, cot
tonseed meal, gluten and other corn
by-products, or even clear corn meal :.
Others have bought clear corn meal
when they should have used the more
concentrated feeds. Hay is usually
one of the most expensive feeds far
mers can buy and, therefore, one OF
the most profitable crops to sell if ii
can be spared, or il the farmer is
