Baroness nurdett-contts.

Baroness Burdett- Coutts seems to be szhaustless in her plans of social amel- lora. ion. She is said to be a groat ad- o2irer of the pluck of Cecil Rhodes in his efforts to develop Rhodesia. For ev- cry selected young man who promises 5o Fettle in that possession and who chooses a wife from among the young women in her charitable institutions she will present them with G100 MT. Rhodes will undertake to find employ ment for the husband. The baroness is the youngest looking of all the aged la- dies who still appear in general London society. She is as straight as rush and recalls the grace and charms of the most elegant ladies to be met with in any country. Of her three private secretaries two are ladies. Proverbially kind heart- ed as IS the baroness, she has not taste for pets. <" Perhaps they would take up too much of her time

Her Gift tn snienne.

Before her death, which occurred in New York city in 1878, Mrs. M. K. Benehley, the widow of former lien tenant governor of Massachusetts,, willed her body to the Woman's s Medical col lege. According to the provisions of this queer will the body of Mrs. Benchley was to be carefully dissected and her skeleton hung in the college museum As far as we have been able to learn, this is the only instance on record where all educated woman has deliberately sent her body to the dissecting room and her bones to the showrooms of a museum. We can cite several instances where the progressive class of women thinkers have given orders that their bodies should be cremated, but this is the only instance on record where a tal- entod woman has made such @ gift to science.

 Ets Amusing Side,

There is all amusing side to the story of how tho female suffrage bill came to pass the New Zealand parliament. The government promoted the bill in &C., cordanee with electoral pledges and supported it with every show of enthusi- asm in the assembly. But they did not want it to pass and relied upon the up- per house to throw it out. The majority of life senators era in the scar and yell low leaf, some of them having sat since the colony obtained self government, and have to be trundled down to the house in bath chairs when occasion arises Unfortunately the female sui frage bill came on at all hour when the veterans on whom ministers relied for rejecting it had hobbled off to bed. Be fore they could be brought back to the house in blanlzets the matter ha gone too far, and the bill for female suffrage became law, to the eonsterpet of shose who had only made show of dc. zi1iyss it.

 The story WAS curious. As related by the father afterward, it appeared that the common difficulty of choosing ; name for the babe arose. Multitudes of suggestions only confused the young parents the more, until at last it was proposed to cast the names into hat This was Gone. A romantic aunt sug- gested Theodore. The mother favored Albert, in honor of Albert Gallatin. Grandfather Simpson voted for Hiram. because he considered it handsome name. The drawing resulted in two names, Hiram and Ulysses.

OaiiioTsaia Is Widely Celebrated, but T.is-

 In tho first place, California is known not by what millions of people havo seen. but by what millions have read. Europe is better known by contact to Americans than California. A prom f- nent American author recently disoov. cred California and filed the newspa. pers with the interesting md suggestive Impressions it had made upon his mind. lie had been to Europe 20 times and to the Pacific coast once. which is onoe of tener than many other distinguished travellers of the eastern seaboard. Still further, the Anglo-saxon race is dealing with new conditions in California. Coming from dense forests, from land of heavy rainfall and from q temperate climate, where winters are long and stern, it settled in trealess deserts, in a land of slight and peculiar rainfall and under sky that never knows the win ter. Finally California is in its infancy.

 The value of a picture depends upon what there is in 1t for it's possessor. J writes William Martin Johnson in The Ladies Hone Journal. on the 'Seleo. tion and Framing of Pictures. A painting by an amateur may be mora precious ill your eyes than ono of Ba. phaePs cartoons. Therefore sell your cartoon to the highest bidder, and when you outgroW the little painting buy bach the cartoon If you have learned to seq it's beauty
 No ono oan tell you how to under stand art without your seeing 1t, study ing it, living with it, any more than any one can tell you how to tell good cloth from bad. You must first have had experience with cloth Learn language before you try to converse. But do not go so far as to imagine that you must learn drawing and painting before yoa can appreciate pictures. The less you know about technique the more capable you will be of looking at painting with an appropriated eye. Get at the artist'a intention. Does he express en idea to you2 Is he interesting in the way he tells his story2 Does be convince you of truth? If the picture is that of head, does it impress you as having the char. aoteristios of an individual? Does it look like human being? Suppose . landscape is under disoussion-do the trees sway, the clouds floatY Is there any atmosphere in the painting9 These are the tests of g painter g facility with lan- guage.
