ROSA RONHEITR

According to the accounts of he friends, Rosa Bonheur awaited deatl with the utmost calmness, and asked that no military honors should be giver to her, although she was entitled to then

 vault at Pere Lachase, and her funeral
 will take place tomorrow, the remains

 etery after a service in the village
 church of Thome. Nothing is known as
 to the amount of the famous artists es-
 tate. Her heirs are her brother, M Isi-
 dore Bonheur, a sculptor, and M. Peyrol
 who married her sister Juliotte. She has
 left many unfinished pictures, notably a
 very large one representing horses start ing at full gallop. Rosa Bonheur is said
 to have been offered sixteen thousand pounds for this picture. But for some reason or other she refused to finish it.
 The artist has left on record some notes about her life at Fontainebleau, and these show that it was most simple. She lived as she said, like the country people, rising early, and after turn in the forest, sat down in her studio at nine o'clock for nearly three hours work, After that she lunched simply, smoked cigarette looked at the news papers, returned to her studio from one to five in the afternoon, and then went out to see the sun set behind the great trees of the forest whenever she had the opportunity of doing SO. Her dinner was as plain as her luncheon, and she finished her day by reading books of travel, hunting or history. The artist has also given some account of her methods of work showing that she sought above all things truth and sim plicity It was in 1858 that she first went to her village, and while working. one day she heard the rolling of car- riage and the cracking of positions whips. A moment after her servant Olive burst in. saying: Madame, her Majesty the Empress Is here.' Rosa Bonheur had only time to put a skirt over her mans pantaloons and to re- place her blouse by jacket, when the empress came in to announce that the artist had been made a member of the Legion In doing so her Majesty pinned the cross on the hastily assumed jacket of blackvelvet.
 It is said that the chief reason why Rosa Bonheur wore mans costume was to escape the numerous offers of mar riage made to her chiefly by persons who wanted her money or her capacity for gaining it. She desired to live only for her art, and this she fully succeeded in doing Correspondence of the London Telegraph.

An Odd Mail Package.

Strange articles occasionally find
their way into the mail boxes. One
package mailed in New York was, to
all appearance, very glad to get out
from among its uncongenial surround
ings. A collector one day, on opening
mail box, found everything within it
in motion. He began to take out the
contents, and was startled by hearing
a shrill yelp. A moment later a tiny
pup poked its nose through the parcels.
1t seemed delighted to see n human
face again, after it's sojourn among
papers and parcels. 1t was carefully
tagged for western city, and on the
tag was two-cent stamp. The col
lector took it to the station to which he
belonged, and as there is no provision
for sending dogs, by mail, it was kept
at the ohice.-Youth's Companion.
