A WOMAN WHO cARvEs TOYS.
Dainty Christmas Gifts Made BY an
Artisan Who Loves Her Work.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
An artist who carves wonderful things
out of all sorts of material and whose
work Is simply a labor of love is Mrs.
John r. Schermerhorn, who lives at 43S
Reed street Milwaukee. and has just
completed her stock of annual Christmas
gifts for poor children, and they are to be
given out at the Christmas dinner of
the Womans Relief Corps OF r.. b. VOL
colt post. Each year these woman pro-
vide for the children of poor soldiers,
and the literal stock of toys has been
supplemented these seven years past by
the wonderful work of Mrs Schermer-
horn, who is one of the most slSillful ar
country knows.
Mrs. Schermerhorn is a kindly lady,
nomlnally 81 years old, but with the heart
of a young woman, and each year she
has fashioned some wonderfully dainty
things all with her own hands and the
product of her own brain as well. One
year she built forty houses, no two alike,
with furniture and people inside, and
each house was a story In itself.

Keep House In a Hotel.

From the New York American.
Countess Boni de Castellane and her
boys are keeping house in the Hotel Cam
bridge, all their meals being cooked and
served in their own apartments by their
own servants.
The financial difficulties of the Castel-
lanes are over, on the one condition that
they live within their income OF $200.0Gt

than $2,000,000 Is satisfied. This the re-
ceivers are now paying In stated sums
deducted from the. countess annual in

which she has been cut down.
The count Is away in the south of
France electioneering. The countess. re-
garding the keeping up of their big Paris
house as a useless expense, preferred to
give the boys a winter In America to
taking them down to the country. The
count recently bought the historic Cha
teau de Grignan, and Is beginning to buy
art objects again.
The countess brought with her from
Paris a courier. who Is steward and vale,

This year Mrs. Schermerhorn has made
for the children twenty-five doll children
and each sits In a luxurious little chair
before a gayly-painted wooden desk, with
a book spread out before 1t. The teacher
in long dress sits before a more impos-
ing desk, on which are slate, books, pen
and Ink, lamp and a vase of flowers
1t is a girls school, 1t Is exhibited on a
table In Mrs. Schermerhorns workshop
and on the other end of the table there
are as many more dolls, each one sitting
In a cunning little sleigh.
1t Is difficult to realize that one wo-
mans hands can do such work. The lit
tie desks are perfectly fashioned. the
lids put on with wee brass hinges and
open and close easily. The chairs are
made of square meshed wire used for
milling purposes, which when gilded or
painted makes a fine imitation of wick
err work. She cuts the wire with sharp
shears, bends ii with pinchers and fas-
tens 1t with fine wire. The seats are
made from cigar boxes, cushioned with
plush, and the chairs are bound with
gimp and the back of each ornament ed
with scarf or tidy. No two are alike
and no two dolls are alike.
The little sleighs are equally artistic.
The runners are made Of stout wire gild-
ed and the upper parts are fashioned
from the same wire that Is used for the
chairs. Each sleigh Is lined and painted
and has Its edges bound with cord, maxi
ing a luxurious vehicles for the doll who
rides In 1t.
Mr.. and Mrs. Schermerhorn were both
born In Schenectady, N. Y, and have
lived in Milwaukee thirteen years.

WONDERFUL HELEN KELLER.
Remarkable Achievement of the Blind
Mute.

At q Helen Keller Is in the first rank
among the students at Radcliffe college,
which she entered without condition, In
the fall of 1900, says the Ladies' Home
Journal. In her preparation for college,
or without reference to college, she has
learned French, German, Greek and
Latin, so that she has fair acquaint-
ance with the literature of those lam
guages; she knows enough English lit
erature for her to get degree, II she
wanted to, without much further read
ing, and she has studied elementary al
zebra, geometry, Greek and Roman his
tory, some modern history. and freshman
rhetoric. She entered college with two
extra courses to her credit, which will be
counted in the 171s courses required for
a degree. Since she has been In college
she has taken sophomore English compo-
sition, the History of Europe in outline
from the fourth to sixteenth century, a
course in Milton, a course in the Bible,
one in government, one in Schiller Les
sing and Goethe, and one in Horace and
Terrence. At the end Of this year she
will have eight courses still to pass. II
she takes four courses year, the usual
number, she will graduate with the class
of 1904, after the regular four years. But
she may decide to spend an extra year at
Radcliffe, taking things more slowly.
Mr.. Charles T. Copeland, who has been
for many years instructor in English at
Harvard and Radcliffe and lecturer on
English literature, said recently: "In
some of her work she has shown that
she can write better than any pupil
ever had, man or woman. She has an ex-
cellent ear for the flow of sentences"

JoViAL DAVID GARRlCk.
Stories Of His Life and Some OF the
Tricks He Played.

From the Chicago Record-Heraid.
David Garrick had a brother in the
country who was an idolatrous admirer
of his genius. A rich neighbor, a grocer.
being about to visit London, this brother
insisted on his taking a letter of intro
duction to the actor. Not being able to
make up his mind to visit the great man
the first day. the grocer went to the play
In the evening and saw Garrick In Abel
Drugger." On his return to the country
the brother eagerly inquired respecting
the visit he had been so anxious to bring
about. why, Mr.. Garrick," said the
good man, II am sorry to hurt your feel
ings, but there's your letter. l did not
choose to deliver it, I happened to see
him when he did not know me, and | saw
that he was such dirty, low-lived fell
low that l did not like to have anything
to do with him."
Garrick's contemporaries had much to
say of his vanity, but Johnson once raj
lied to his old friends defense with this
remark: mo wonder. sir, that he is
vain; a man who is perpetually flattered
In every mode that can be conceived. So
many bellows has blown the fire that one
wonders by this time that he has not be-
come a cinder'
Garr1ck morbid SenSlDl1ty was not III
consistent with his stage feeling 1t was
recorded of him that while he was drown
ing the house In tears, in the fourth act
of Lear" he put his tongue In his cheek
and said to King. during the applause,
On me- Tom 1t will do. 1t will do"
1t made him painfully dread ridicule.
On one occasion. it is said. Quin went to
the pit to see his rival act. 1t was at a
time when Hogarth's Marriage a la
Mode was familiar to every one. One of
the prints of that series represents a ne
gro boy bringing in the tea things. When
Garrick, with his diminutlye figure ana
blackened face, came forward as Othello.
Qun exclaimed, Here Is Pompey, but
where is the tray?" The effect was cleo
trical, and Garrlck never attempted
Othella again.
His countenance was amazingly mobile.
Once he paid sixteen visits to an artist s
studio. and on each occasion had imper-
ceptibly wrought change In his feat
ures. At last the painter declaring he
could not paint a man with such a pro
team phiz," threw down his brush in de-
spair. Macauley says: II have seen sew
erai pictures of Garricl, none resembling
another, and have heard Hannah More
speak of the extraordinary variety of
countenance by which he was distn-
guished."

African, seeing Mans perplexity, made

Tasma It'd had heard men use profane
language when fretted or irritated. and
she supposed that 1t was a remedy for
troubles both small and large.
"Be jigged IL 1 haven't a mind to-"
crieo Nan, laughing at the Africans

But at last she flung her pen down.
