The pu n1anrler Woman.

In an article which the late Mr. Du Maurier wrote some years ago for The Magazine of Art apropos of the typical pretty woman" of his drawings, oc. CUTS the following quaint and character. istic passage: q do hope the reader does not dislike hery-that is. if he knows her ---l am so fond of her myself, or rather so fond of what want her to be. She is my piece dc resistance, and I have often heard her commended, and tho praise of her has sounded sweet in mine ears and gone straight to ny heart, for she has become to me as daughter. She Is rather tall, I admit, and trifie stiff but English women are tall and stiff just now-aud she is rather too serious, but that is only because I find it so difficult with mere stroke in black ink to indicate the enchanting little curved lines that go from the nose to the mouth corners, causing the cheeks to make a smile.

There is one disadvantage about very tall buildings which is being noticed by the occupants. It is perhaps a small disadvantage, but still is worth oonsid ering, as it involves some annoyance tc those who have not made provision for it.
 The trouble referred to is the stop. ping of pendulum clocks by the vibra- tion of the buildings. Many pendulum clock that has kept accurate time for years ln old fashioned low structures has refused to run at all when moved into some one of the new tall steel framed buildings ill the lower part of the city. On the lower floors of the buildings the clocks run fairly well. but when higher mp in the buildings they become more whimsical and on tho tcp floors will not run at all.-New York Times.

It is impossible to help doubt ing the value of the literary pasturage to be found in such inclosures. Fortu- nately ono is sometimes most joyously deceived Authors have little "say" concerning the garb of their volumes, and often-good luck to them-they rise superior to the mechanical makers of books and rejoice the souls of their readers in spite of the bindings.
 And it must be repeated that in the present bizarre and excessive fancies in binding there is seed of abounding hope for the future. Publishers are greping for something; few of them know what. But they will learn, and the world will be made glad by genuine revival in the lovely old half forgotten craft of bookbinding. In that happy coming day there will be great honor for the men who lead the taste of this country to. ward better things in bookbinding, sim. pier and eaner and more sincere. -Bos. ton Transcript

Thousands of wlk.

Thirty thousand elk are wintering ill the Jaokson's Hole country of Wyoming. according to the estimate of the game warden, who says that in one herd which be saw the other morning there were 15, 900 of them, stretching over q distance of six miles. The sight, he said surpassed anything he had ever seen and utterly amazed him. The elk trail over the snow was like flint ice, he said, so hard had the snow been packed down The animals are seen by thousands any morning moving along the Snake rivep from the Great swamp to ths Gros Ven ue hills, and at night the walls of the calves ssraying from their mothers may be heard.

Americans are the most inventive people on earth. To them have been issued nearly 600,000 patents, or more than one-third of all the patents is- sued in the world.

 T hate to hear people say there's no such thing as luck, remarked the mel ancholy Mir. DolittIe.
 f'I don't gee why, his wife rejoined.
 Because it isn't true, he returned with asperity "A man can go on try ing and trying and never get along, and some other person will go ahead and tumble into good things without making any effort whatever.
 Hiram, no great man has succeeded without hard work. :"
 ".Fhat's the kind of talk you always hea- But nine times out of ten it is all owlEg to the opportunity that presented itself. Fortune just seems to lie in wait to kidnap some men, Look at Sir Isaac Newton. His name is handed down from generation to generation. And why? Simply because he was sitting under a tree, and an apple happened to drop on him. You can't pretend that a man is in position to claim superior merit simply because, through no ae- ti0n or preference of his own, he gets hit in the head with an apple, can you?'
 No, Hiram. !"
 "Then don't tell me about there not being any such thing as luck. y
 ''It seems to me that you've chosen a poor example in support of your argu. ment. The case of Isaac Newton goes to show that the difference is in the people. If it had been some men that I know of instead of Newton, the frat thing they would have done after the apple fell would have been to go into the house and moan for the arnica bot tie; then they would have spent two or three hours of precious time talking about their bad luck. ny Washington Star.
