BERNHARDTS WORK IN BRONZE.

It is not generally known that Mime. Sarah Bernhardt is an exhibitor at the Worlds fair In the galleries on the Invalides Esplanades a glass case will be found, in rather a dark corner, among endless exhibits of conventional and commonplace brOnzes. which bear the name, Sarah Bernhardt." Not only the magic name will attract the visitor, once he has discovered it, but also the strange fascination of the work which the glass case contains. There is a striking lifelike bust of Sardou and a chimera, in which Sarah Bernhardt has modelled her own face on a fantas tic winged body with monstrous claws. These exhibits, however, will be passed over in one glance. Near by are strange things of bronze which irres.st- ibly draw the visitors eye. At first sight these appear to be name,ess crea- tions summoned from ineXistence by freakish sculptor's fancy. They have no defined shape and the wierd, uncer tain forms, some like long, thin hands. with uncannily tapering fingers, others resembling entangled meshes of float ing hair, have no definite color, but hue blended of every shade of browns, yellows and greens. Apparently the sculptor. whose imagination has thus run riot in bronze, has cast in the metal forms of unnatural plants which grow in the land of nightmare.
 All Mime. Sarah Bernhardt has in reality done, however, has been 10 faithfully copy nature. The fantastic vegetation which she has cast in bronze is merely seaweed. Besides having rendered the multiple shapes and rich hues of the plants and flowers of the deep with astonishing accuracy. she has added a touch of individual fancy. It is said that the actress first had the idea of turning to artistic account the weeds of the sea during her brief com munions with nature in her fort at Belle Isle en Mer, when she lives among the wild and deserted rocks of the Brit tany coast, associates with fishermen and dresses like them. The dried sea- weed which cottagers hang on thelr walls and which are their homely bar ometers, showed the actress. who is a sculptor when she has the time, how effectively the decorative artist could use seaweed for his models. She took friends who wield the chisel profes- sionally down to Belle Isle and showed them her discovery, but they would not be convinced, so she worked out her idea herself Mime. Sarah Bernhardt now shows a number of objects in which every species of seaweed is used as the leading motive for decoration, and certainly the results achieved are full of interest. A fanciful departure from nature here and there gives to the design here and there a touch of un- canny strangeness. Many of the bronze seaweeds are spread on slabs of enameled ceramic ware, tinted and rip pied like pools of water.-From a Paris letter.

ABOUT FURLING THE FLAG.

Mr. Edward B. Welch,, who served Kansas regiment. was at the National last night. T am with my experience in the Philippines like the volunteer soldier was who has just returned from Santiago" said MT. Welch. "The vol unteer said he wouldn't take a thou sand dollars for the experience he had, but he didn't want another blamed cents worth. It was a great trip the Kansas boys had out to the Philip pines, but I for one have had fighting enough to do me the rest of my natural life. I'd go again, of course, if I thought my services were needed, but l hope they will not be.
 'The Filipino at his best is a poor sort of a creature, and no more fit than an Apache to be an American citizen. Talk about having no right to govern him without his consent We govern the Indians, don't we, and children and idiots and other people who are not capable of looking after themselves? Somebody's got to do the job. To cut them loose 10 shift for themselves would be like penning a flock of sheep
 
 telling them to work out their own sal vation. What would happen in such case? The wolves would eat up the sheep, of course. That is just what would happen in the Philippines. Aguinaldo and a few of his partially educated and crafty followers would have rich picking and fat wax. and the millions of poor benighted heathens they fed upon, I suppose, would imag- inc they were enjoying the blessings of liberty. We've simply got to stay, whether we want to or not. Tt would be just as cowardly for us to run away as it would for pack of men to turn their backs while brute of a husband murdered his wife. The men might ar que that it was none of their business, and we could say the same with refer ence to the Philippines, but the excuse in either case would not be a sufficient one. We're there and we've got to stick, no matter whether Mckinley or Bryan or the man in the moon is elect ed president" Washington Post.

A WITTY RED MAN.

In Travels in New England and New York, President Dwight of Yale college tells a good story of Indian wit and friendship
 In the early days of Litchfield, Conn.,. an Indian called at the tavern and ask ed the landlady for food, frankly stat ing that he had no money with which to pay for it. She refused him harshly. but a white man who sat by noted the red mans half-famished state, and of fered to pay for his supper. The meal was furnished, and the In dian, his hunger satisfied returned to the fire and told his benefactor a story.
 You know bible?" asked the red skin.
 The man assented.
 Well said the Indian, "the bible say God made world and then he took him and look at him and say, he good. very good Then he made dry land. and water, and sun and moon and grass and trees and took him and look a him and say. He good, very good Then he made beasts and birds and fishes, and took him and look at him and say, He good, very good..'
 Then he made man and took him and look at him and say, He good, very very good. Then he made wom- an and took him and look at him and he no dare say one such wordi" This last conclusion was uttered with meaning glance at the landlady. Some years after this occurrence the man who had paid for the Indians SUD- per was captured by redskins and talk en to Canada, where he was made to work like a slave. One day an Indian came to him, recalled to his mind the occurrence at the Litchf1eld tavern and ended by saying:
 ''1 that Indian. Now my. turn. pay. l see you home. Come with me-"
 And the redskin guided the man back to Litchfield.

GOT WORST OF THE JOKE.

The editor of the London Times is rather august parsonage in the eyes of most Englishmen, and few public men care to run the risk of mourning his displeasure. Lord Brougham was not of that number. however. He was the author of a rather sharp practical joke, the victim being the dreaded Thur derer' itself. The editor of that paper was a particular enemy of the great statesman and it occurred to the latter that it would be a good joke to give out that he was dead and see what kind of obituary notice the great Lon don newspaper would give. Lord Brougham was travelling in the prov inces at the time and the report of his death was soon circulated. A represen- tative of the Times called at his lord ships residence to verify the rumor. There he was assured the report was indeed true, and in proof was shown the coffin and pail, which had already been laid out. The next day the Times appeared with a notice of Brougham's S death, in which the statesman's life and character were depicted in the most Virulent terms. It was very small satisfaction to Lord Brougham when, a few days later he exacted an abject apology from the editor.-Philadelphi Times.

THE LOGIC OF FACTS.

No one doubts that MT. Bryan stands just where he stood four years ago in relat tion to finances. The events that have demolished all his arguments and reversed all his predictions have not shaken his faith in 16 to 1. It is legiti- mate warfare for the republicans to show up his heresy. It is good politics for the republicans to point to the mag nificent prosperity that came just when and where he had predicted dire dis tress. But the logic of facts to which MT. Bryan has been impervious has not been lost on the democratic party. And that logic has relegated free coinage to the past, has made Is to 1 only the ghost of what was a very much alive issue four years ago. The brainiest and most progressive element of the Bryan aggregation is intensely hostile to Bryan's hobby. No free-silver congress is possible as result of this campaign.
 "The stability of the gold standard has been secured" Instead of denying or doubting that great and beneficent achievement, the republicans should be proud of it as the crowning glory of their financial history. It is the cap stone on their monument of prosperity and progress Washington Post.

of independence and all our teachings for eight years?"
 Referring to Poland, Hungary and It. ally, he went on:
 If imperial governments are not able to hold in submissive obedience small portions of a vast empire once in revolt, how much less a government having for its basis the consent of the governed? The very idea upon which this war is founded. coercion of the states, leads to despotism.'
 With the consent of the governed" idea on the brain, and pushed beyond sane limits, MT. Long was ready to de- nounce the war policy of Lincoln as both contradictory and dangerous, . Contradictory because it vii plates the great principles, of free gov ernment which derives it's just powers from. the consent of the governed, and dangerous because of it's exercise, eS pecially when wielded by a weak, vacil- lating and interruptions man, it de- stroys instead of uniting the union."
 This is the precise doctrine of democrats today, save that the personal slurs on Lincoln are now changed to praise, his name now being spoken reverently, but his doc Urine is still reviled.

PHOTOGRAPHS ON THE SKIN.

A scientific discovery Is bound to be picturesque and interesting and must attract universal attention. A Rou- manian chemist named Dinkeresco dis covered a means of combining the sub stances which are used in sensitizing paper for photographic purposes so that they can be applied to the human cuticle without injuring it, and the skin thus be made a sensitive plate for the printing of photography. Dinker- esco's remarkable discovery is a combi- nation of photography and the etching process, and that to some extent the image is bitten into the cuticle
 At any rate, the impression Is perma- nent, the image is clear and distinct, and the skin is not made a negative. The impression does not wear away with the change of the tissues and the renewal of the surface of the skin be- cause the substances or changes which have been produced by the process of photography are renewed according to the notifications produced by the biting" process, just as those of a tattoed outline are.-Chicago Chronicle

EX-SECRETARY CARLISLE.

Mir. John G. Carlisle is another mem- Der of President Clevelands late cab inet as regards whose position on the next presidency there has been no pub lie declaration. MT. Carlisle has not been induced to declare for MT. Bryan. neither has he indorsed MT. Mckinley. It is probable that this will be his po- sition to the end of the present canvass. He remembers that he has been born and bred in the democratic faith, but he cannot recognize that faith as he has known it in the exposition it re- ceives at the hands of MT. Bryan. It is presumed that support of a republi- can candidate for the presidency is also difficult to MT. Carlisle, with his antecedents. He is not concerned in Kentucky politics at present, having left that state to engage in the prac- tice of law in New York city. He Is one of those eminent democrats who have been driven out of active politics for the time being, more's tho pity Boston Herald.
