In Marchesi ard Music the famous
singing teacher tells this anecdote to
illustrate the nobility Of heart OF a Rus
sian woman, one Of her pupils, and a
native Of Nijui-NovcorCd, where the
great fair Is held every year.
Mile. Nadine BoulitchoT created q
great sensation with her beautiful voice
and dramatic power, at Moscow, st.
Petersburg and Madrid. In the summer
of 1850 she sang at Rio Janeiro. Brazil
was then the entrepot for the cruel slave
trade. At her benefit, Nadine learned
that she was TO be presented with valu-
able gifts. She begged that the money,
instead Of being spent on her, should be
used TO buy the liberty of several female
slaves.
Her deed Of charity released seven
poor slaves. one Of whom had been re-
Gently whipped in public by order Of her
mistress
On the benefit night, after Nadine
had sung, the seven negresses went upon
the stage - thank the artistic for their
freedom. The crowded house applaUded
fo- sev -ral minutes; the national hymn
was played; the emperor, Dom Pedro,
rose. and with him the whole audience,
and the sonSsJress knew n moment Of
thrilling JOY such as seldom comes to
women.

Tic Girl EInshed Too.

Visitors at the Worlds fair of 1898
viii recall the Indian exhibit or en-
camPment on the shore of the south
pond. One Of the. tents or wigwams
was occupied by an athletic and fine
looking but somewhat taciturn specimen
Of young Indian manhood as his own
particular home, and while it was open
at all proper hours for the inspection of
visitors he resented any approach to i'm
pertinent curiosity.

his tent one day before his usual hour
for opening it and found him sewing a

Dangers From violent Exercise.

There is considerable diversity Of
opinion as 10 the safety with which wo-
men may indulge i'll violent exercise in
view of possible injury. As regard the
heart, there appears TO be but one opin-
ion-namcly, that that organ, accus-
toned to quiet life, may be danger
ously and permanently crippled by the
excessive strain III athletic sports. Ex-
perience III medical practice, says an
eminent authority, teaches that the pa
ticnt with Il weak heart must be eX-
trcmely cautious in his exercises, and
the demonstration of dilatatiOn of the
healthy heart under sudden, violent,
eXhauSting effort which has been made
was of a surprising nature. Many elm
zeal observers III Germany and in this
country have detected by percussion and
observation of the changes III the heart
beats that there Is under strain and eXer-
ton considerable dilatation, which con-
tinuCs for Il shorter or longer time after
the exertion Is over. Ocular proof of
this has been afforded by the Roentgen
rays This shows not only the need of
caution by those in good health, but
more particularly so in the case of those
who suffer from any weakness, consti-
tutionai or otherwise, III this organ

HER CAT ~ HER POCKET.
Bismarck Travels In State Wherever His

a woman walked into the breakfast
room of one Of Chicago's swell hotels,
| dressed in travelling costume and carry
ing on her arm a cape of plaid cloth,

If it might be of value.

waiter looked on the chair and under it,
but pussy had vanished like dream.
