New york.s Composite Personality.

NOW 1OTAB SOlhPOSlJo 1tTbOuallLys
Mrs. Schuyler Van Rensselaer,
contributes to The Century a paper
entitled "Places In New York." in
which she gives a picture of inter
esting phases of life in the new
world metropolis. Mrs. Van Rens-
selaer says: More than t76 per cent
of those who people New York to-
day were born of foreign mothers,
more than 40 per cent were born on
foreign soil themselves, and many
of these aliens, brought from many
different lands, continue here to
live in clusters with their own kip
after their own kind. Yet, while
each of these clusters and each of
their wandering offshoots modifies
the new world metropolis, all of
them together do not destroy its
cohesion. They simply intensity its
curious composite sort of personal
ity. They make it simultaneously di.
verse, but they leave it an entity.
They touch every. portion of it with
pungent exotic favors, but as fla
voring an American whole. They
play their several parts in a civic
life that is cosmoramic beyond the
belief of those who have not studied
it well, but they do not turn New
York into a cosmopolitan town, for
this means a town which, over,
whelmed by it's strangers, has lost
or has eve possessed a character
of it's own.

Geometry.

The invention of geometry is at
tributed by some to the Assyrians
or Chaldean philosophers, by others
to the Egyptians. Geometry was
brought into Greece by Thales in
600 B. c. The study was greatly
improved by Pythagoras and was
brought to perfection by Euclid, 300
B. G. The researches of Archimedes
were made in the third century be-
fore Christ.

Insomnia.

Insomnia is caused by a surplus
of blood in the brain, and the only
way to cure it is to remove the
cause" says a very wise doctor
"Long continued mental labor
should, of course, be avoided. It
keeps the blood vessels of the brain
constantly filled, and when it is over
they cannot contract. Tight cloth
ing tends to throw the blood to the
brain. and it should be avoided. The
feet should be kept warm, since cold
extremities interfere with ~circula-
ton. Unless the malady results
from moral causes, a little care and
common sense are all Mat are nee.

POSES FOR AMERICAN ARTISTS.
Beautiful Partisan Model Lives a
Seclude Life

Mercelle Berenecr the most beauti-
full model in Paris, has caused fut-
ter in the ateliers of the French capital
By declaring her intention of posing in
the future for none but American art
lists. She justifies the stand she has
taken in a way that is far from flat
tering to her countrymen. They tire
me, these French Students she says,
with charming shrug and smile
They are coarse and vulgar compared
with the American, and so inconsider-
ate. They think of themselves only,
ard never of the model, and that
surely is not quite fair"
Marcelle Jeanne d Arc, as the stu
dents Familiarity call her. though ia
,aous for her youth, beauty and per-
sonal charm, is quite unspoiied.
H. appearance she Is slight. brown
haired. blue-eyed slip of girl. with a
faultless figure. Perhaps the chief
charm of her face lies in its puzzling
contrasts, in the dimples that come
and go with every breath; in the eyes
that never, even in her gayest mo-
ments, lose a certain look of appealing
sorrow. To quote famous critic,
she possesses the eyes of Mater
Dolorosa and the lips OF a Bacchante.
She is beautiful sphinx"
Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1897-07-08

Unlike her famous predecessor,
Sarah Brown, who for nearly two
decades had all artistic Paris at her
feet, Marcelle is of quiet, retiring
disposition and lives the ordinary,
simple life of the middle-class French
woman.
Marcelle Jeanne d. Arc lives quietly
IL French family, declines all invita-
tons, Is never seen at a boulevard cafe,
and in short when away from the
studios, spends her time as decorously
as the most guarded daughter in
France.
To those who look askance on the
women who pose at all and hold in
horror the model who sits for the en-
semble, this young girls life will be
wholesome lesson.
Thrown on her own resources at her
fathers death, she has supported her
self since she was II years of age-irst
In her native town, st. John, near
Havre; afterward IN Paris.
On her mother side of the house
she is of noble family, and one of her
uncles, hearing of the girls wonderful
beauty, asked her to visit him at his
chateau, in the south of France. When
her stay was over he offered her a sum
Of money large enough to cover her
travelling and incidental expenses.
But | told him no." Marcelle says,
proudly, in repeating the story. He
had refused to help me when a little
mnnnU Doioht hoxa
and a different life for me. Let him
keep it now; it is too late"
And the story is typical of the
girls pride and self-respect.
II imitation be the slncerest form of
tlattery, then Marcelle is surely one of
the most flattered women in France.
She has double-a young girl, who
dresses like her, wears her hair in the
81 me way, and Calls herself Marcelle
Jeanne d Arc. Unfortunately the
resi- mbaLce stops there. The double
is not discreet. Not caring to emulate
Mile. Berenger's quiet mode of life.
she frequt hts the cafes, always passing
herself off as the famous model.
Until quite recently this mysterious
and unknown twin gave Marcelle much
uneasiness. AT the news of one
rather pronounced escapade of whie
she was supposed to be the heroin\
the poor girl cried for a week. Tired
of the notoriety thrust upon her she
set herself the task of demonstrating
to her friends that here were two Mar
celles, and with excellent results. All
Paris now knows the story much to
the chagrin of the double, whose fun
is has spoiled for the time being.
Those who have the good fortune to
see Garrod's exquisite of Marcelle in
this springs salon cannot fail to see
the youth and innocence in her face.
She is without doubt that anomaly-a
model who is morally and physically
beyond rerroach-a female Bayard,
whether in OR out of petticoats.-New
YCrl Herold.

teIr championship swimming races of
the A. A. U. were held in the lagoon
at Lincoln park Saturday. This was
the first time that the meet has been

STREET PREACHING ELOQUENCE.

A Colored man, broad-shouldered

preached half dozen tiye-minute SER
mons to a sidewalk audience in Myrtle
avenue and Prince street, Brooklyn,
the other afternoon. An empty barrel
at the curb served as a pulpit desk,
although he made little use of it, All
the sermons We're on texts in the
prophecy of Isaiah. When the speaker
took his place in the street he began
to sing "a Charge to Keep | Have"
II q minute or two perhaps half a
hundred persons were listening-men
and women. boys and girls. About
twenty colored persons were among
them. After singing the old hymn in
a clear haIytore voice, with several
trills in the higher otes, he opened

Boys playing behind a crockery
crate at the rear door of store on the
lower corner tossed a spoiled orange
over the missionary's head He
thought it came from an open window
on the second floor, and his eyes fash
ed as he addressed himself to the
window:
II look up to that window. What do

to that window, and I see trouble.

hell is with you, lot with me- Keep on
a-chuckling, trouble is with you, not
with me, Keep on a-chuckling, sin is
with you, not with me. Praise God
Keep on a-chuckling."
For half an hour the missionary
read verses, sang, preached and quoted
fragments of verses. Among other
things he said:
ut is written that the wicked will be
consumed, punished as if by fire. as a
fire melts wax cardle. Now, what is
wax? We all know it Genes from the
bees. And what burns harder than
