George II. Butler was one of the most
brilliant newspaper nen ever known in
this country. Like so many of his
predecessors in the journalistic field, he
euccumbed to the demon alcohol, and
was known during the last five years Of
his life as slave to drink. In his palmy
days he was able TO make and unmake
Inen, to great extent, by his vivid por-
tIayals of their businesses and their
weaknesses, as the humor moved him.
There was young man playing in the
stock company at the National theateI
at Washington who evinced greater
tragic ability than the average newspa.
per critic seemed to appreciate. Butler
saw what there was in him and deter.
mined to help him. The actor was not
unknown to local fame, but was con
sidered only good leading man"
Few writer's gave him credit for the
magnificent superior qualities which he
really possessed. Butler commenced 10
write of him, praising strong points,
aid expressing wonderment that so
excellent tragedian should be content
with subordinate place. He showed
that, in many instances, the actor was
superior to Forrest and Davenport,
whom he supported from time to time,
in their great Shakespearean plays. On
one ocLasion, Mr.. E. l.. Davenpor. being
i'll, the actor in question took the lead
ing part. In describing the play Butler
said: There never was such a char
acterization of the part upon an Eng
disappearing stage. The future will
show the American people that they
never saw the character of the Roman
father properly portrayed until John
Mccullough appeared before them as
Virginius." Having thrown down the
gauntlet, George ii. Butler never hest.
tated or faltered III his praise of John
Mccullough until he was able to say to
all of the thousands of adulutors who
bowed before his genius: II told you
So"
And he said that often, frequently
punctuating his writings with fault
finding criticisms which had been writ
ten ten years before by those who were,
in the zenith of his fame, lauding Nc
Cullough. He always claimed that Nc
Cullough's genius would have been
practically lost to the world but for
the fact that he had a persistent, tire
less friend who compelled the reading
public TO become hearing public for
the great tragedian. Mccullough
seemed 20 never tire of his marks of
appreciation of Butler, and many a
dollar came to the poor, aging, decrepit
suicidal writer in his last days from
the Roman father, the superior and un-
approachable Virginius. the late John
Mccullough. SMITH D. FRY.

OF course his law business has long

WOMAN AND HOME.
The MASSAGE Bath.
Its Wonderful BepeftH Within the
Reach of Any Woman.

NChCh OA Rhhs Nouhbhs
The strengthening and vitalizing eff
feet of massage and electricity upon the
system is, in these days of advanced
4,ience, an accepted nrinciple. The
massage BATH" whicn combines both
is possible luxury in the bathroom
of every household. The hydraulic
massage" rs it is rightly called, is an
effect from a direct current of water
applied to particular part of the body,
while the whole surface is immersed in
water of high temperature.
The rubber tubing and nozzle for
this may be attached to the main tube
of supply with very little expense or
trouble. A length of rubber hose is
fastened as usual to the faucet. TO
the end of this hose is attached n short
piece of iron piping about two inches
long and with the same diameter. The
end of this short cylinder is capped with
piece of iron perforated by number
of small holes. In each of these holes
is inserted a small discharge point in
side of the tube, which admits sharp
arrow-like jet of water with great
force.
When the full strength of the current
is turned on the force would be suf1i-
cient to throw the jet into the air 25
or 30 feet. When the current is directed
under the water at n distance of five
or six inches from the body the fric-
ton creates perceptible electrical cur
rent. The effect is digging out and
cleansing of the skin pores, knead-
ing of the muscle and tissue to the very
bone equal to combination of the
thermal bath and massage combined.
There is n result of general stimula-
ton and invigoration. Up and down
the spine when the current is so ap-
piled there is more thorough manipu-
lation than can possible be obtained
with the rub of the hand. The tenn
perature of the main bath must be as
high as can be borne, from 102 degrees
up; the current is about the same tenn
perature.
After the bath spray of listerine or
alcohol is sent all over the body This
prevents the possibility of cold. The
tonic effect of this bath must be felt
to be appreciated. The skin, as every
body should know, is one of the main
drains to free the system of impuri-
ties. Keep the pores of this free and
unclogged and it means half of health
and activity. Add to this the timber
ing of muscle and joint, the knead of
tissue and abnormal deposits of flesh,
and the stimulation of the vital organs,
and there is n firm compactness of body
with a sustaining machinery within
that makes life a power and JOY

Rev. j. X. Mclean, ID. D., who has been
in California for 30 years, and is known
all over the west. He is the leading
Congregationalist in California. For %
years he was pastor of the most pow
erful church of that denomination on
the coast, and is now president of the
Pacific Theological seminary.
From her father Miss Mclean inner.
tied penchant for book learning, and
the study of science and the languages.
She attended the public schools, the
Oakland high school, and later the state
University of California, at Berkeley.
At Stanford's rival Miss Mclean took a
full classical course, and graduated with
good record.
Three years ago she was graduated.
She went next to Cambridge, where she
took postgraduate work at the Harvard
Annex, and a year ago went to Europe,
partly for her health and partly to
study. Mrs. Mclean went FROM Cali
fornia and chaperoned her daughter.
1t was while in New York, just before
sailing for Europe, that the offer of an
instructorship in English at Stanford
CdIllc 10 MISS lhCLtdll. II was SCCuIeu
for her by certain powerful friends, who
arranged to have it held open for her
until her return from Europe. Up to
that time Miss McLean's tastes had led
her in literary and classic paths, but she
had no definite aim in her preparation.
She expected, vaguely, TO teach, but just
what or where had not entered into her
calculations.
Miss Mclean went first to England,
where she entered the oxford college
annex. Later she studied in Berlin and
travelled extensively. Her health inn
proved rapidly, and she paid close atten-
ton to the methods in the various Tor
eign institutions where she was spe-
cial student. At Stanford Miss Mclean
is to be an adjunct to the chair of Eng"
lish literature. For the present her
work will be confined to freshmen and
sophomores, and she will do nothing
but correct and comment upon themes.
Gradually she will have instructing TO
do, and so become n full-hedged as
sistant professor. Miss Mclean is
rood Latin and Greek scholar, and pro-
licient in modern languages. She will
introduce number of European meth
ods, culled from the great colleges, all
of which she has visited, into her new
department.-N. y. World.

Plums are among the few fruits that

HOW to clean LinoIeum.

Oilcloth and linoleum are ruined
oftener in the cleaning than in any
other manner. Too hot water and the
free use of soap are the usual faults in
the treatment they receive. Left Calf
wiped they look very bright while wet,
but dingy and streaked when dry, and
the colors soon crack and peal off. A
soft flannel and lukewarm water are
the best things for general use upon
oilcloth, and you should make sure
that it is thoroughly dried after wash
ing. Equal parts of milk and water
used upon oilcloth brighten and inns
prove it.

THE OLD PHILOSOPHER.

out hesitancy to the ignorant people.
and sometimes his eloquence is tremen-
dous and thrilling in those Sunday
night sermons. Yet the same man can
not make a creditable appearance be-
fore an audience of his peers. His de-
pendence on faith is not futile. The
colored people welcome him into their
homes, and whatever they have is his
for the asking. He has no regular
place 10 sleep, but is welcomed into the
houses of the meek and lowly wherever
night overtakes him. The breakfast OF
bread and coffee is divided with him,
and Immediately thereafter he hastens
to the congressional library to repeat
the work of the previous day in the
study of the Scriptures. He has spoiled
an excellent lawyer to make of himself
an exceptionally poor preacher. Yet
he is ''going about doing good" and
seems always TO be cheerful and happy.

rIttinr nver New Cornets.

Most women make the mistake when
they IRE having dress fitted of wear
ing new corsets. A Partisan dress
maker or first-class tailor will never
fit over a new corset if there is particle
of starch In it. Why? Simply because
a corset that is starched keeps it's
shape on account of the stiffening af-
forded by the starch, which after few
wearings lessons, and such shapeliness
as the corset had leaves 1t, with the
result that the bodice which was fitted
over it has Mt the end of a few times
wearing different figure to fit. Not
being automatically adjustable, the

tors in English literature ut Stamford
university, is not the only woman in
the faculty of that instution. Mrs.
Mary Weldon Barnes, the historleS. land
Mrs. Mary Williams have preceededher,
but Miss Mclean has the distinction Of
being the youngest woman in the fac

Alma Mater, the University of Cali
fornia, has not yet seen fit to open it's
faculty door 10 women, but Stanford,
being younger, is less conservative.
Miss Mary Matilda Mclean is young
lady of interesting personality, She is
of Scotch stock, and has always been
noted for her serious temperament.
She is well endowed mentally, though
not remarkable for a robust physique.
She is quite ambitious, and decidedly
earnest and thorough.
Miss McLeans' family were New Eng.

25 years of age, an only child, and has
been carefully reared. Her father 10
