MARY MANNERING's ROMANCE.
She Fell in Love With Her Husband
Before She Had Seen Him.

Miss Mannering is an English girl,
as everybody knows, brought over here
by Daniel Frohman for his Lyceum
theater stock company just six years
ago. She went on the stage in England
when she was Is years old, and had at
tanned a nice bit of distinction both in
London and the English provinces be-
fore Mr.. FrOhman discovered" her.
Her instantaneous success over here is
within the memory of all of us, and
the romance of her marriage to one
OF our own splendid young actors is
dear to the hearts Of ALL There is one
little page of this romance, by the way,
that I believe has never been written
When Miss Mannering was just bit of
a girl in London she and a young friend
one day discovered photograph in one

like, began to gush over.
isn't he handsome?" said Miss Man
nering.

and can't you just imagine the accom-
paying girlish giggles and grimaces ?
Well, after this the two girls stopped
before the picture nearly every day and
began to call it "our face in the win

stamped itself SO plainly in her mem
DRY that she could never forget it.
Time wore on and the bit of a girl grew
into bit more Of girl with amoi-

after her arrival in America she met
Mr.. Hackett. She knew she had met
him somewhere before, but where?
Looking at him and wondering where
may have had somewhat to do with her
surrender to the fascination of his
strong, manly personality, but be that
as it may, she surrendered, and then
came the announcement OF their mar
Tiage engagement. A short time after
this. and before her marriage, she was
visiting at her mothers one day and
was looking with him over some old
albums of photographs, when suddenly,
placing her hand fat down on the face
OF a picture with a little examination
of surprise. she said:
"Why, Gear, it was you'll

ORGANS IN PRIVATE HOUSES.
Electrical Contrivances by Which
They Can be Played from Distant
Rooms.

In the homes of msny wealthy New
Workers there are not alone pianos
which have cost fortunes to construct
and decorate, but also organs with
electric attachments so that thew can
be played from any part of the house.
The large pipes are richly decorated
and are painted often by well-known
artists. The development in church
organs also has been marked. The
largest one in this country, and per-
haps the most expensive one. is in
the A. T. Stewart Memorial church, at
Garden City, L. I.
William G. Whitney has enormous
organ which was built especially for
him in California, and was set in the
wall while the house was being built.
The Vanderbilt home also has an in
strument with electrical attachment.
so that it can be played from any one
of several rooms of the big mansion
at Fifth avenue and Fifty-seventh
street.
Electricity has been the real force
which has made the organ again pop
ular. One can now invite the min
lister to the house and conduct COM
plete religious service there, the or
gan being furnished with electrical at
tachments similar to those which have
been placed on the piano and which
make it possible for almost any one
to operate the instrument.
If one be so disposed he can lie in
bed and play the organ. The keys
are placed before him with one row
for the left hand and another for the
right, which is an invention also new
to the industry. The keyboard is at
tached to the organ wherever the lat
ter may be situated in the house. But
the organs which are in the homes Of
the very rich compare little in size
and in expense with those that are
placed in churches all over the world.
These, 600, have electrical attach
ments, and the work of the organist
is greatly reduced.-New York Times.

ALAsKA's WOODY ELEPHANT.
Fine Pair of Big Tusks of Prehistoric
Animal Brought From North.

Seattle papers describe a fire pair OF.
tusks brought from Alaska and be-
longing to that prehistoric cousin Of
the elephant, the mammoth.
Most elephants evince a preference
for warm, or at least temperate, eli
mates. Those of the now extinct genus
represented by the specimens here men
toned, appear to have haunted colder
regions. Remains have been discover
ed as far south as the latitude Of New
York, but the bulk OF them have come
from Siberia and Alaska.
For this reason tn canimal was pro-
vided with a woody coat quite unlike
that Of his modern relative.
To all but a few people the name
mammoth" is misleading. 1t is not
of English origin. and has no reference
10 the size Of the prehistoric creature
on which it was bestowed.
Siberian peasants called the animal
'ramantu," because they fancied it
had been a sort Of mole, or ground
dWeller. They never saw it alive.
they knew it only by the bones which
they exhumed some three centuries ago.
German naturalists worked the name
over into 'mammut," and Cuvier modi-
ned 1t still further and spelled it mani
mouth"
Dr. f. A. Lucas Of the National mu-
scum in Washington declares that
some contemporaneous elephants were
as big as or bigger than the mammoth.
Inc tallest specimen yet measured
stood about 13 feet high, but DR.. Lucas
says that they rarely exceeded 9 or 10
let IN height. These statements have
some bearing of course on the Gimon-
sions Of the tusks.
The chlc[ distinction between the ele-
phant and the mammoth, to the unin-
1tlated observer-aside from their skins
is that the tuSks of the former animal
proceed from the upper jaw and stick
downward, whereas those of the other
genus sprout from the lower jaw and
reach upward, curving considerably. In
both the ivory is beautifully white, and
hence valuable.
The specimens just found near Ke-
Walk, 300 miles northeast of cape
Nome, are II feet long. One weighs
1853 pounds and the other 172. Dr.
Lucas says that he knows of few more
than eight or ten feet long.
One of the first of which scientific
men had any knowledge was discovered
in Siberia in 1899. 1t was imbedded in
ice that was anywhere from 10000 to
$4,000 years old, according to geolo-
gists.
Whether or not the original possessor
of the tusks brought down from Kee-
Walk was older or younger than this
it is impossible to say. No expert has
had chance to examine the surround
1ngs thOroughly.-HO Chat.

TWILIGHT.

The sweetest hour, Sweetheart, to me
Is when the wind at twilight signs,
And shadows steal from every tree
To smoothe the earth's day-weary eyes,
And Memory sets her gates ajar,
And Fancy leads my thoughts afar.
The honeysuckle and the rose
Watt fragrance through the amber gloom
And, To- my thought enraptured goes
Back to another gardens bloom,
And other blossoms glad my sight,
I am not here, but there, tonight.
Not here but there, and not alone,
AS if flower bud became,
The wings Of Time are backward flown,
And lights of hope with joy refame;
Yes, Life is new, and faith is true
And I walk there with love-and you!
