There is the Gibson Girl. the
Christy Girl, the wenzell Girl. and the
Penrhyn stanlaws girl.
Each is a picture of such entrancing
feminine loveliness that poor man is
completely bewildered in trying to de-
eide which is the most to be adored.
Many and many girl has claimed to
be the original Christy or Gibson or
wenxell girl, but not one has ever
claimed to be the original Stanlaws
girl, for the very good reason that his
type is SO distinct and is SO compounded
that very few girls could with any rea-
SON claim to have inspired such lowell
ness.
A Blending of Types.
No artist has ever created type from
one model. showever.
The Gibson girl is a blending of a
half dozen models.
So is the Christy, the Stanlaws, and
the wenzell. Each contributed some
thing to the ideal whole.
From ones head, another's arms, an
others eyes, ETC.. ETC.. is the way the
picture was created.
Now. however, there has been discov-
cred a girl in New York who is SO ex-
actly like the idealized Stanlaws girl
that one cannot believe that Mr. STAN

and absolutely from her.

/ Plans for the isolation of consump-
tive patients who travel ON railway
Protection for the trains were dis
cussed the other
! day at meeting
Of the general passenger agents in
Chicago. 1t is reported that the need
of precautions for the protection of
the public was generally recognized
by the railway men, and that the mat
ter will be brought before the officials
of the Pullman company. Much COM
plaint is said to have come from tour
lists patronizing the western lines, and
there is no doubt that steps will soon
be taken to provide separate accom-
mOdations for the class of patien IS
afflicted with what is the most COM
mon and the most feared of modern
diseases. Since ii has been discovered
that tuberculosis is a contagious dis
ease the public has been slow to accept
scientists. For many years the NAL
ady called consumption has been sup
posed to be neither infectious nor
contagious, and relatives of the unfor'
tunate victims of phthisis naturally
dislike to take what are ordinary pre-
cautions against contamination. Cars
and public conveyances are the me
,diums through which diseases of al
sorts are transmitted from person Il
person and from city to city. 1t is {
Fact which cannot be disputed that in
sufficient care is taken in disinfectinl
public vehicles. The attempt to isolate
pne class of patients doubtless will
lead to reforms in other directions
thinks the Milwaukee Sentinel, and a
no very distant day it may be foun'
necessary to have physicians detaile'
nt every passenger station, SO that per
sons can be inspected before entering

measure, but II Is one that might we

FINDS A BEECHER BIBLE.
Kansas Boy Discovers One of the
sharp's Rifles shipped West
by the Famous Preacher,

Recollections of the days of John
Brown and the times when Kansas
was the stage on which some excit-
ing scenes were enacted have been re-
Gently recalled. AT Lecompton, Kan
sas, the other day lad padding
around in the shallow waters of the
Kaw found a Sharp's rifle of the an
cient pattern of so years ago. Some
one has suggested that it is one of
"Beecher's bibles,' the name given by
the early settlers 10 this weapon, and
the suggestion recalls curious bit
of early history, says the Chicago
Chronicle. When the first emigrants
sent out by New England Aid and
other societies of the north found
their settlements beset by bands of
proslavery men from Missouri they
called upon their eastern friends for
arms with which to defend them
selves, and many shipments of Sharp's
rifles were made to them from both
Boston and New York. But all goods
shipped to Kansas had to come up the
Missouri and through "the enemy's
country" and the Missourians had a
fashion of confiscating such weapons
as they found. So the rifles were
shipped as something else in pack
ages to deceive. For example, in 1855
Amos Lawrence wrote from Boston to
his agent at Hartford, Conn.
Request Mr.. Palmer to have ten
Sharp's rifles racAcd in casks like
HARDWARE and to retain them subject
to my order. Also to send the bill to
me. 1 will pay it either with my note
at seven per cent. interest or il cash."
And these rifles were shipped to
Lawrence and got safely through, as
did others, packed in way to de-
ceive. 1t was charged that Henry
Ward Beecher had sent a box of the
rifles marned "bibles" and when ap-
preached by a New York Post re-
porter he admitted it to be fact.
az believe" he said, that the Sharp
rifle is truly moral agency and there
is more power in one of these intru-
ments, so far as the shareholders of
Kansas are concerned, than in 100
bibles. You might just as well read
the bible to buffaloes as to those fell
lows who follow Atchison and String
fellow" So the weapons took the
name of "Beecher's bibles" and by
this they were commonly known.

PACKED ALL HER HEADGEAR.
And the Abscnt-Minded Woman Had
to borrow Hat to Wcnr
Home.

Every housekeeper knows that
moving is the most demoralizing
thing that can happen to one. Even
a fire is no greater strain on the
nervous system than is the effort
necessary to packing all ones house
hold goods and dumping them helter-
skelter into painfully bare place Of
abode.
a methodical housekeeper lately
had this trial to encounter, only her
chairs and tables and beds were not
methodical woman, and so she packed
everything carefully and stayed at
the old house on the fateful day to
see that the furniture was conveyed
in proper fashion. When the last
load was being carried out the wom-
an prepared to leave, also. She went
mechanically TO the closet where her
hats had once been kept to get one
to wear down town, but, naturally,
they were not there, relates the Bal
timore News.
Then she went all over the desert
cd house, but not piece of hea6wear
was to be found. At last she realized
the awful truth. She had packed all
her hats in the trunks, and they had
been gayly cartcd away in the van
by the lusty men.
Hats two miles away are of no
more use than are battleships 20
miles from the scene of action, and
the poor, tired heroine of this story
felt that the only thing left for her
to do in the circumstances was to sit
down on a convenient window seat
and weep.
She didn't, however; she went to
the family in the block that she knew
best and borrowed an unpretentious
chnpeau. Then she went on down
town in n car, mentally assuring her
self that she was the. biggest goose
and the most thorough packer of
trunks that ever lived.
