Peculiar People That Live at the
Eastern End OF the yrenccs

Prof. Miguel MaraZta has made what
seems curious anthropological discov-
cry in the valley of Rcbas (Gcrona), at
the end OF the eastern l'yrcnccs. There
exists i'll this district somewhat nu-
mcrons group Of people, who are called
Nanos (dwarfs) by the other inhab-
itants. and, as q matter Of fact, arc not
more than four feet in height. Their
bodies arc fairly well built. hands and
feet small, shoulders and hips broad,
making them appear more robust than
they really arc. Their features are SO
peculiar that there is no installing
them among others. MI have rcd hair;
the face is as broad as long, with high
cheek bones, strongly developed Jaws
and flat nose. The eyes are not horizon:
tai, but somewhat obliq.c, like those of
Iartars and Chinese. ~ few struggling
weak hairs are found in place of beard.
The skin IS pale and tlabby Men and
women are SO much alike that the sex
can only be told from tic CLOTHING.
Though the mouth is large, the lips do
not quite cover the large, projecting
lnclsors The Nanos, who are tho butt
OF the other inhabitants, live entirely
by themselves in Rcbas. They inter
marry only among themselves, SO thai
their peculiaritics continue to be re-
produced. Entirely without education,
and without any chance of improving
their condition, they lead the life of
pariahs. They know their own names.

Gently to her feminine satisfaction in
having, while visiting at the court of
the Empress Eugene, disappointed
the malicious expectations of that over
bearing great lady, the Princess Met
ternich, who was on the lookout for her
to make some awkward slip. In her
youth, however, as she gaily admits,
she was an extreme type of tomboy,
brought up to delight in the compan-
ionship of her father and brothers, de-
testing all the usual tasks of girls, and
caring little for their pleasures. At
one time, when her brothers went to
school next door, their master, seeing
her idle, offered to take her, too.
so l entered his class of boys with
my brothers, Auguste and Isidore. i
was not in the least abashed to have
only boys for my companions during
the hours of recess, which we spent in
the garden of the Place Royale. I was
quite able to hold my own in all the
games"
Five years later, on the death of her
mother, she was ~placed-she, of all
girls!-as an apprentice with a dress
maker, Madame Gaindorf. Naturally,
she did not long remain there. Her
next occupation was to color simple
designs for a friend of her fathers,
Monsieur Brisson, whose business was
to paint heraldic devices.
"In this way" she says, II earned a
few sous-poor little earnings, of
which l cannot now think without
emotion. What an eccentric creature
was deal Madame Brisson! The moth
er of three boys, she was d~isconsolate
never to have had a daughter-hel
dream. To lessen the disappointment
she nicknamed her boys with girl
names-in the home circle, Of course.
My chum, best friend and closest COM
%panion, her youngest son, answered to
the name of Elenora."
An odd ~comradeship, surely, of boy
girl and girl-boy! The madcap Rosa
was next sent to a prim boarding
school, from which she was sent home
in disgrace for having slashed the
heads off the owners best rose bushes
with a stick while conducting a des-
perate charge in the garden, during a
sham battle, in which she had induced
the other girls to take part. Shortly
after, she began to paint in earnest,
and had entered modestly and obscure
ly upon her destined career, although
she was not quite the conventional girl,
even then.

marked to my mother, You think you

PICTURE
Paintings Turned Out by the Yard for
Ignorant Buyers.

Ignorant Buyers.
1t was the prosperity that set in aft
er the civil war, coupled with the ig-
norance of many CT those who acquired
wealth at that time, which tempted the
importation of foreign paintings. The
name attached to the canvas meant
more to the ignorant buyer than the
canvas itself. Occasionally a customer
would ask the dealer if he had any
American paintings. The dealer would
say, "Oh, yes" and bring out the typi-
cal winter scene showing a church with
an illumined stoeple and stained glass
windows rejecting colored light on the
snow. Then the customer would say,
Cues not" and continue to look at
foreign "pot-boilers." After awhile es-
adjustments for the manufacture of
foreign masterpieces started up-some
are still going-and "Corots," "Daubig-
nys," "Rousseaus," "Geromes,' and
"Meissoniers' were supplied at whole
sale rates, say $40 a yard. This re-
minds me of an advertisement l once
read: Your last chance to buy one of
our genuine old IS St~radivarius violins.
Only a few left" | cannot imagine a
man, however ignorant, being imper-
vious to the immortality that skulks be-
hind falsehood in art. Everything in
his house is above suspicion-his wife,
his children, he himself. The only false
note is that "Corot" on his parlor wall.
L have observed with amusement that
since the Clarke sale the fraudulent
picture factories have begun to turn
gu Illnesses" Pictures of sheep hud-
died together in a snowstorm have
probably started more art collections
in this country than any other class of
canvas. 1t is said of a well-known
collector, now dead. that he was in
duced by a canvas of this kind to
enter an art store. He was very plain
ly dressed, and the clerk who showed
him around was barely polite to him.
He kept asking the price of one canvas
after another. When he had made the
round of the store he told the clerk
that he would like to see the proprie-
tor. The latter was informed by his
clerk that there's a c~ountryman out
there who's been looking at some pict-
ures and wants to see you" When the
proprietor came out the "countryman'
remarked: "The prices of these pict-
ures that l have been looking at foot
up $149, 000. I'll give you $100, 900 down
for them" Needless to say, the sale
was made on the spot. Some time after
Thomas B. Clarke was invited by the
purchaser to view his collection. After
Clarke had looks at the pictures he
asked: Haven't you any American
paintings?" "American!' exclaimed the
collector; "are there any?"-Forum.

C~APTIVATED A KING.

Miss Leonora Jackson, an American
girl, a protege of George Vanderbilt,
has had the rare honor of being COM
plimented by King Oscar of Sweden
for her violin playing. 1t was at
Paris, at n Of the Figaro's famous
five o'clocks," that Miss Jackson
played before his majesty the king OF
Sweden and other noted guests. The
whole Swedish people are a nation OF
violin music lovers and critics. King
Oscar is regarded as IN especially ex-
acting critic. Yet he took pains after
Miss Jackson's performance to be pre-
sented to her and say:
Il congratulate you on your excel
lent playing, and l thank you for the
pleasure you have afforded u.s."
Miss Jackson is a Chicago girl whose
musical talent has been developed by
Joachim, one of the best masters OF
Europe.
At Berlin she also won the Mendels-

evaporation and sewer gas and disease
germs have free entrance into the
rooms. This Is the situation, freed
from all unnecessary verbiage. The
water in the trap must be renewed at
frequent intervals, and while this is
possible during active occupation of the
house, the traps afford no security aft
er a house is shut up for ten or twelve
days. II it be necessary, while the
house is occupied, to keep the water
seal intact so as to exclude the sewer
air, what is certain to happen during
The absence of the family for several
months? Simply this: The water evap-
crates. the germ-laden sewer air enters
every room, and when the family re-
turns after its summer outing, disease
in its worst form turks in the atmos-
phere of that house, and the benefit
of the vacation is nullifed. Fortunate
ly, there is a safeguard against this
condition of affairs which is very sim
pie. No family should close up the
city house without having the traps
made safe against evaporation, and
this is easily done. The water should
be turned off at the main stop-cock in
the cellar and every trap in the build
ing, from that on the main drain in
the cellar to the trap of the smallest
fixture, should be replaced by some
liquid not subject to evaporation.
Glycerin is said to be the most effective,
though kerosene oil or a strong solu-
ton of common salt is said to be equal
ly effective. Either will seal the trap
effectuallys and when the family returns
the house will be in as safe condition
as though it had been occupied and the
traps attended to in the usual manner.
In this matter the ounc of prevention
will be better than the pound of cure.

FLOWERS.
Symptoms Which Follow the Eating of
Some of Them.

Symptoms Which Follow the Eating of
Some of Them.
1t seems a shame to connect thoughts
of poison with, for instance, such deli
cate and lovely things as that baby of
the flowers, the snowdrop, as the mar
c1ssus, with its delicious breath. as the
hyacinth and the jonquil, says the En-
cheering Magazine. But one is obliged
to see to it that the children do not
put the bulbs of these flowers into their
mouths. The oXalis also is not a safe
thing to put between the lips; and ali
the lobelias will produce dizziness and
general disaster. The monks hood,
too, n the beautiful foxglove, as well,
are noxious affairs, from which pow
erful drugs are obtained, more than a
few drops of their extracts being usual
ly a fatal dose. Certain Of the crocuses
If eaten, even if nothing be swallowed
but the juice, produce vomiting; the
bulb of the intricately beautiful lady's
slipper poisons externally as the nox-
ious ivy, dogwood and sumac do; the
quaint jack-in-the-pulpit, although not
a garden plant, is another enemy to
health and life; and so, also, is the
marvellous Queen Anne's lace, which
o and then will creep in through the
paling, and looks so enchanting when
far and wide it embroiders field and
roadside. The laughing little butter
cup, that might be a drop of visible
sunlight, is by no means as innocent as
1t looks; the COW in the pasture knows
enough to avoid it; that and all it's
cousins, the rich, profuse peonies, the
~dazzlingly blue larkspurs and the rest,
are full of toxic properties. The clean
der tree, that is set out of doors when
spring m and that lines the streets
of various Of our southern cities, 1s
another hive Of deadly poison. The
superb catalpa tree, towering with it's
great leaves and its mass of white and
fragrant flowers, is a charming thing
in the garden, but it's bark is exceed
ingly injurious; and the laburnum,
that looks like a fountain of gold leap
ing into the sun, and even the grass
beneath it, is best thrown away instead
of being fed to cattle when cut.
