Sardou's Originality.

Sardou's methods have always been
original. In his early days, when hun
ger and poverty were his constant asso-
ciates, he evolved a most interesting
method of studying the art of playwrit-
ing. Scribe was his model. At night,
in his cherries attic, by the light Of a
single candle procured by saving sou
from his meager dinner, he used to
study tie plays of Scribe till he knew
them word for word. 1t was his delight
to take one of Scribe's plays that he had
never read, study the first act, close the
book and map out what he thought
would be Scribe's scenario of the remain
ing acts. When finished he compared
his work with the original, overjoyed if
he had hit upon similar scene or stu
alton. He is very painstaking with ev-
erything he writes. New York Adver-

The Rnttle of Killiecrankie.

1t is singular how tradition, which
is sometimes sure guide to truth, is in
other cases prone to mislead us. In the
celebrated field of battle at AilliecraDkie
the traveller is struck with one of those
rugged pillars of rough stone which in
dictate the scenes of ancient conflict. A
friend of the author, well acquainted
with the circumstances of the battle,
was standing near this large stone and
looking on the scene around, when Il
Highland shepherd hurried down from
the hill to offer his services as cicerone,
and proceeded to inform him that Dun
dee was slain at that stone, which was
raised to his memory. "Fie, Donaldv'
answered my friend. "How can you tell
such a story to "a stranger? / am sure
you know well enough that Dundee was
killed at considerable distance from
this place, near the house of Fascally,
and that the stone was here long before
the battle, in 1858. "Oich! Oichr' said
Donald, no way abashed. And your
honor's in the right, and l see you ken
ABBOTT it. And he wasna killed on the
spot neither, but lived till the next
morning; but a the Saxon gentlemen
like best to hear he was killed at the

Rhodes as a Woman Halter.

According to all accounts Cecil
Rhodes is actually savage i'll his hatred
of women, or rather of woman in the
abstract. A nurse who was in nursing
community i'll Cape Town when he met
with his serious accident while out rid
ing tells the following story of him:
"He was carried home unconscious with
badly dislocated shoulder. A telegram
was Immediately dispatched for a
trained nurse. When the telegram ar
rived, great CONSERVATION prevailed.
No one but the sister in charge Ga wo-
man of 20 years experience and spe-
cially gifted nurse) could be intrusted
with so important u case. The pre-
mier's life was in danger; everything
else must be set aside. Just as she had
made arrangements to start came sec
ond telegram saying, DO not come. In
the meanwhile Mr.. Rhodes had recov-
cred consciousness, and, realizing how
i'll he was his first words were, Let
no devil of woman be sent for. No
one dared disobey him. The conse-
quences were that rather than submit to
be bandaged he three times ordered the
surgeons handiwork to be undone SC
that he has to endure the Inconvenience
of an unset shoulder blade for the rest
of his life because he would not submit
to woman nursing him. "

Don't Blot Your Letters.

'My eldest daughter tells me-" said
Mr.. Glimmerton, THAT it is not good
form to blot letter, and when 1 ask
her what l shall do when get to the
bottom of the page and want to turn to
the next, she says must wait for the
ink to dry, though may, if wish, save
time by addressing the envelope mean
while
Here, as is usually the case, good
form is in accordance with good sense.
A blotted page is not uniform in ap-
pearance. More ink is taken from the
lower, the more freshly written part,
than from the more nearly dry writing
above, and so the writing upon the low
er part of the page is paler and for that
reason it is less legible. The blotting
may thus be u cause of inconvenience to
the recipient of the letter His taste
may be offended by want Of uniform
ity, of harmony i'll its appearance, and
the fact that the letter has been blotted,
that the writer has hurried to get
through his task, may wound his pride.
So we mustn't blot our letters-that
is, our private letters-but by common
consent the use of blotting paper is still
permissible in business correspondence.

MODERN DRESS.
It's Remoteness From the Happy Effects
Demanded by Art.

ny hATUs
We are not so quixotical, says the
London Telegraph, as to ask sincerity
and earncstness from the modern art Of
dress, which has quite VIGOROUSLY hid
den away the divine outlines of the
feminine human form in outrageous
costumes" and confections, utterly de-
stroying folds and drapery, upon the nat
ural grace and value Of which in classic
days the chief sculptors did not 3sdain
to employ their careful chisels. Imagine
Pheidias or Praxiteles today copying
blouse or a divided skirt in Pentelcan
marble! Imagine even q Hindoo or a
Japanese lady being rather pleased and
proud than otherwise that her French
bonnet maker had supplied her with ge-
raniums or lilies in dyed muslin which
deceived bee Apelles, indeed, thought
it legitimate praise to hear that the
birds came to pick the grapes which he
had painted on the archon's wall at
Athens, but painting has illusion for
its proper object. There is, we repeat,
an unmistakable air of reproach and re-
buke to modern fashion in this little
anecdote of the bee at the London gar
den party, which warned beauty and
youth how artificial they are in the way
of becoming, TO the point of upsetting
the orderly course of things, and max
ing even the bees and butterflies skepti-
cal about flowers. We shall not pursue
this line of moralizing nevertheless
in the first place because every line
which could be written would but add
to the undesired pride and complacency
of the artificial flower makers, who will
soon, we suppose, offer to supply our
gardens and greenhouses, and, in the
next, because the strongest representa-
tions of reason and of taste are vainly
made against the mysterious goddess of
fashion. She will go on decreeing what
extravaganza, what enormity, what bar
barism pleases her and her votaries-
not ashamed because a honey bee took
her false blossoms for true ones, but de-
lighted at the compliment, and bent up
on fresh devices to mislead and cajole
the world which humbly obeys her man.

GOLDEN WAND OF TACT.


of Social Success.
"My dear girl" writes Ruth Ash
moro in response to girl inquirer in
Ladies Home Journal, you fail So
cially because you look uninterested,
you stand off and have a don't care
expression on your face. This drives
would be acquaintance away and sug
gests to a hostess that if you do not care
and show it SO plainly she need not care
to send you cards another time. Society
is really based upon the golden rule,
and it demands from you not only SYM
pathy, but that outcome of the best of
sympathy, tact. To be q social success
you must learn to say the right things
to the right people. Do not talk about
flirting widows to a woman in mourn
ing nor of the value of beauty TO an
aged spinster forced to wear blue glasses.
The aged spinster may be perfect we'll
of learning and wit. You will find this
out if you touch her with the golden
wand Of tact.
Possibly you are nervous and shy.
Try to overcome that. Force yourself to
say something. If you are unfortunate
enough to be easily embarrassed, at
least get used to the sound of your own
voice, and then you will not find your
self screaming from sheer nervousness
when you wish to speak low or whis-
pering in husky manner when your
words should be distinct. To be a social
success you must govern your voice, and
usage is the only thing that will make
that possible. Do not be afraid to speak
of simple things There is no man too
learned not to be interested in that
which interests a pretty girl and no
woman too old or too world worn not to
care about ribbons or flowers, sweet
meats or novels.

A pouterx For the Church.

1t is said that in Sweden room in
each house is provided into which the
children may go to cry and scream. In
other parts of the house they are to be
quiet and mindful of the comfort of
others. 1t might be a good plan to have
a department i'll every church for those
who feel like crying or fretting or COM
planning. Let them go to the criery or
poutery and have it out without dis
turbing the comfort or spiritual welfare
of the church and their brethren. -

Knocked out with one Blow.

A cutting story is being told at the
expense Ct well known Louisville
man, who is something of beat as
well as bore.
A wealthy man from the east was in
the city short time ago, and during
his stay the Louisville man did his best
to get his friendship preparatory to Dor
rowing gCodly sum Of money. He
showed the eastern man all about the
town, saw that he was admitted into
the sacred precincts of the clubs and
took care that he had good time in all
respects. The fastener was charmed.
He had often heard of Kentucky hospi-
tally, and his greatest expectations
were discounted by what the Louisville
man did for him. He was no fool, how
ever, and it was not long before he
learned that his alleged friend was sim
ply laying a trap for him.
One day, when the Louisville man
thought his way to the rich mans pock-
etbook was clear, he preached the SUBJ
ject Of loan, doing this, of course, i'll
the most artistic and seductive manner
The rich man appeared much impressed,
but when the story was ended he said
simply:
Excuse me minute while / go
across the street and get drink"
When he returned, the Louisville
man had vanished. The GOODNESS of the
easterner who could announce cold
bloodedly that he was going to drink
alone had got under the cuticle of the
schemer Louisville Commercial.

Yesterday Morning.
Harry Merriman, who for nearly thir-
ty years was bookkeeper for Wooster
A. Ensign & Son, hardware dealers at

in the store yesterday morning.
Mr.. Merriman came over from his
home in Guilford yesterday morning on
the train which arrives in this city at
7:40. On the way over he was attack
ed with pains about the chest, which
seemed to him to be neuralgia. Wal
lace Spencer Of Branford, a friend of
Mr.. Merriman, boarded the train at
Branford and took a seat with him. The
latter complained to Mr.. Spencer of the
pain, and Mr.. Spencer in consequence
accompanied Mr.. Merriman to Mr.. I'm
signs store
After reaching the store, to- which
they went in a carriage Mr.. Merri-
mans sufferings increased, and he
moved about neryously from one chair
to another. Finally he went INTO Mr..
Ensign's office and sat with his head
bent over He dropped forward and
fell on the floor. Mr. Spencer, who had
in the meantime sent for Dr. White
more, carried Merriam to a bench, and
with the clerks in the store began rub
bling the stricken mans wrists in All
effort to revive him, but it was of no
use.
When DR.. Whittemore arrived he said
that Mr.. Merriam was dead and an
examination revealed that the cause OF
death was heart disease. Medical FIX
aminer White was summoned and gave
permission for the removal of the body
and when Mr.. Ensign arrived the body
was taken to Lewis & MayCock's I'M
dertaking rooms. Word of the death
was sent to the brother of the deceased,
Ezra Merriam. who is an employee OF

Great Need that the Guarantee Fund
Be Completed
A very important matter in connec-
ton with the well being and future per-
manent success of the Gounod society
a society which has we'll earned the
favor of the music appreciating public
of New Haven, which 1t enjoys-is the
necessity of its obtaining a guarantee
fund for the coming season.
The delay in beginning the rehearsals
of the society is due to the necessity
of first obtaining a guarantee fund for
the coming season. Many of those who
have been approached on the subject
have gladly contributed $25 each, their
subscription to become operative only
in case the receipts do not cover the ex-
penses of the season.
The directors, however, are planning
to reduce the latter so that there is lit
tie likelihood of any considerable as
sessment.

continued success of the chorus are
urged to add their name to the list of
