THE HOME oF JOAN OF ARC.

Clifton Johnson gives this deserip-
 tin of the home of Joan of Arc in
 Frank. Leslie's Popular Monthly: It looks more like a big shed than any thing else, for the roof all slants one
 way from a very high wall at the front to q very low one at the back. The inside is kept as a museum, and
 it has all q museum's blankness and stiffness, with no suggestions of it's ever having been occupied as home. The old garden at the rear, with it's narrow paths and little plots of flow CTS and vegetables, happily has about 1t real touch of humility, and you can fancy it is not unlike what it was in loans day, and the mind easily calls up the scene in those twilight hours long ago, when the bells of the near church rang and the voices spoke to the humble shepherd maiden. But leave the garden and return to the front of the house, and the illusion tvanislies. There you find modern or namental shrubs and small park in closed by n high iron fence.

The initial exposition was openedsin London in the year 1851. It was built entirely of glass and was named the Crystal Palace. It covered an area of S7, ,4S9 square yards and floor space of 113,622 square yards. The number of exhibitors was 17,OOO, and the vis- itors made an army of 6,030, ,105. The cost of the enterprise was E24O,OOO, and the receipts were 25O6,243. In the year 1855 Paris was the scene of exhibition number two. The buildings covered 2OO,031 square yards, The ex- hibitors numbered 24,OOO and the wis itors 5,1Oo.0OO The cost was $2,300,- OOO but the receipts amounted to only $640, 900. The state assumed the debt. The next exhibition was held in Lon don. It was visited by 6,211, ,1O3 peo- pie. This exposition, like that of Paris, was a financial failure. In 1867 Paris followed London with second exhibition. There were 52,O0O exhib
 itors. and the expenditures amounted to $5,0OO,OOO. It was n financial sue cess, the surpluss being about $1,OOO, GOO. This was followed by a unfver- sal exhibition at Vienna in 1873. The expenditures amounted to $9,OOO, GOO, and the receipts were but $2,22S,O ,O0O. The deficit was made up by the Aus trian government. In 1876 the Centen- nial exhibition was opened in Phila- delphia. It extended over 1,315,423 square yards, and the cost was esti- mated at $S,O00, ,0OO. There was P 900 exhibits and 9.910.96O visitors. In 1873 another universal exhibition was held in Paris. There were 52,S6o ex- hibitors and 1G,OOoOOO visitors. Finan- cia1 returns were less than one-half of the $11 100000 outlay. Between 1870 and 1888 worlds fairs were held at Sydney and Melbourne, Australia; Brussels. Belgium, and Barcelona, Spain. In 1889 the great Universal exposition was opened in Paris. The cost was about $S,OOO,oO and the re- ceipts made total of SIC, 0,OO0,0OU The Worlds fair at Chicago, in 1893, was the next in order. It was the most magnificent of all,although the Paris fair. closed only q few months ago, claims to have been one of the greatest ever held The last Paris fair was a success financially also.

MUSIC AS AN EDUCATOR.

The world rolls on to music. The story of mankind is told to the accom- paniment of harmonies that are full Of the spirit of the times and the nations that brought them into being. The more civilized the community, the more musical it is. and the more sug- gestive and significant will be it's mu- sic The lives of the great composers have been coincident with the best in the histories of the countries ill which they were born and have la bored.
 You may judge of a man or muni- cipality by his or its appreciation of a Verdi. a Mozart. or a Wagner. It takes finely fibred individuals to intelligently enjoy high class music. and such en- joyment is only possible where the struggle for mere physical existence is ended and the blooming and ripening of the inner and higher life is in prog ress.
 On the other hand, if the conditions are not of such q nature that tlrs thor ough understanding of the masters IS possible, music still speaks to all ill q language that is as expressive as it is universal The educated ear has tech nical as well as aesthetic reasons for loving a good opera, or well ar ranged concert. But q person who does not know one note from another may be as profoundly affected by one of Bach's figures as is a connoisseur of classic melody. For the time being, the two individuals are, by the magic of the composition, lifted to the same plane. and their emotions differ only in degree.
 This brings me to that upon which I wish to lay special stress. l believe that music, properly used and under stood, can be made an educational force of the noblest type. Let me try to make my meaning clear. Take an average workingman, one who relies on his muscles for his bread, and give him an opportunity of listening to a creation of say Chopin or Mozart. He
 may not. and probably could not. tell you as much; but, as he listens, there will awaken an unsuspected life with in him. He will be conscious of as- piration that are stifed by the neces- sities of his daily toll, of indefinable 1 longings, of desires for he knows not what. The voices of the orchestra will call to the God within the man and he will feel that, after all, there | is something more in life than mere | living. l You. my dear readers, who, I have
 no doubt, have often had your soul
 stirred and swayed by the masters l will understand what 1 mean. I have yet to see the man or woman to whom
 music fails to appeal in the way thai
 I have indicated.-Zellie De Lussan in | January Success.

SENSIBLE WOMEN UNPOPULAR

Of late it has come to be regarded as misfortune for woman to be sensible, says the Chicago Chronicle. She is not in the fashion, and there- fore might as we'll be out of the world. One of these sensible women had a cook whom she cherished above rubies-cherished to such an extent, indeed, that sometimes she was moved to hustle out to the Kitchen and de- clare that Kate looked pale and was in need of instant rest. Whereupon Katie was bundled off upstairs and milady herself would finish washing the dishes or making the cake.
 After four years of such humane treatment Mrs. Cook walked off with out & word of warning one day and her employer, descending from her stilts and becoming just an ordinary person, wept and declared the un- grateful one "a mean old thing"
 The sensible woman is fearful1y hard on romances. She picks the prettiest love story in the world SO to pieces that it looks like even less than 30 cents when she gets through with it.
 < Each bit of sentiment she dissects  with the aid of her merclless prac- tieal sense and points out how it is founded on selfshness and will grad ually grow into indifference. There is fearful reason in all she says that makes . deep impression on her nearer and perhaps leads that young woman to desperate and foolish deeds or renunciation.
 Once the sensible woman entered . house of sorrow. A young girl lay dying there and her family were gath cred at her bcdside, when the prac- tical .wpunan came to the door and csllad out one of the weeping onss. 7

BOLD ESTHEn VANCE.
The Most Daring Highway Woman.
 of Our Time.
opera star and Bandit Dyins After . Lo1g Life of Romance-Sone of Her Nest Celebrated <
 Expl0its.

Out on the slope of Mount Davidson, near Virginia City, New, Esther Vance is dying after life so full of romance that it's story is hardly credible in these days of matter-of-fact exist. ence.
 Esther Vance was born in St. Charles, Mo, her father being bank CT of some prominence in the old daye of state banking currency. Esther was noted for her wit and vivacity, her initiative faculty, her beauty, the rapidity of her progress in music, and her contempt for girl comrades. Lett fortune, she studied music in tho great conservatories of London and Paris, and while in the latter city be came infatuated with an American adventurer.
 For time she disappeared and all trace of her became lost. One day in 1874 she appeared in San Francisco where she secured an engagement in the Bush Street opera house.
 Her success was marked, but she seemed to care little for an operatic career, rather seeking enjoyment in visits to mining camps. She general ly went alone, always had plentiful supply of money, and when visiting saloons and gambling houses she al- ways displayed a handsome brace of pistols, in the skillfu1 use of which she gave frequent exhibitions. f Naturally, romantic story was made up of her career, much of which was justified by her eccentricities, her dashing horse manship, beauty, and her contempt for conventionalities.
 But in all that was said of her, as- serts the Chicago Tribune, no breath of scandal attached itself to her name. Finally, however, she chose as 8 companion Bud Reece, one of the most notorious men in the gambling resorts of the Pacific coast.
 Bud Reece and Esther Vance drift. ed from camp to camp and from city to city until finally they appeared at Chihuahua, Mexico, where, in the de- fense of roulette game in gam. i bling house, both were shot, Esther Vance seriously.

The convention that adopted the United States constitution twice fixed the presidential term at seven years and made the president ineligible for reelection, but to head off the kickers, who wanted the president elected for life, and in the interest of harmony, the four-year term was finally agreed upon as compromise. Andrew Jack son. in every message he sent to con- gress, advocated $ single term for our presidents. and Andrew was everlast- ingly right.

ESTHER VANCE

to g. San Francisco hospital, where she remained from October 12, 1884, until some time in December of the same year.
 In. the months following the Pacific coast was thrilled by the accounts of one daring stage robbery after another. In one instance the California Pacific express in the Nipa valley was robbed of several thousand dollars in gold, and a large number of bank cheeks and drafts. All the latter were few days later received at the bank, the envel. ope being addressed in a flowing fem mine handwriting.
 Then a number of train robberies oc- cured, chiefly on the line of the Cen tral Pacific. The method of these va- ried, but the description of the per sons concerned was repeated, and the figure and identity of Esther Vance began to take form in all of them.
 Then a peculiarly daring robbery of the Rio Grande express, in which the messenger was killed by woman dis guised in mans apparel, aroused a furore among the railway presidents of the west. After the express car had been footed the disguised woman, with two male companions, went through the cars and deliberately robbed every passenger on board.
 After the robbery Esther Vance vis- ited Honolulu, where she lived a quiet life for some time. Returning in 1887, with two companions, she robbed the Beowawe stage, and this adventure proved to be her last.
 With her companions she was 30 closely pursued that she was finally brought to bay in a cleft in the noun tains near Lake Tahoe. Three men who approached too closely were shot fa- tally. But the sheriff's posse finally stormed the rocky fortress and Esther Vance, seriously wounded with bull let through her hip, was taken pris- oner.
 She spent four years in Carson peni- tentiary, a helpless cripple. Then, through the influence of charitable people. she obtained pardon.
 Physicians say she cannot live until Christmas.
