SAYINGS OF THE WISE.

The eyes Of other people are the eyes
that ruin us.-Franklin.
If you would know and not be
known, live in city.-Colton.
The way of the world is to make
laws, but follow Observation-Disclosures.
We carry happiness into our condi-
ton, but cannot hope to find it there
Holmes.
Prosperity is no just scale. Adver'
sity is the only balance to weigh
friends. -Plutarch.
Children are unconscious philoso-
pliers. They refuse to pull to pieces
their enjoyments to see what they are
made of.-Henry Ward Beecher.
Energy will do anything that can be
done in this world, and no talents, no
circumstances. no opportunities, will
make two legged animal man with
out it.-Goethe.

Pcdiurees of Arabian Horses.

The Arabs have no written pedi-
grees. 1t is all an affair Of memory
and of notoriety in the tribe. Certain
alleged pedigrees Of Arabian horses,
couched in romantic language and rep
resented as carried in a small bag and
hung by cord around the animars
neck. have been published but these
are forgeries got up probably by horse
dealers, Egyptian, Syrian or Persian.
The breeding Of every horse Is a mat
ter of common knowledge, and 1t
would be impossible for his owner to
fabricate pedigree so as to deceive the
natives, even If he were so inclined.
The Bedouins, 1t seems necessary to
admit, are in general great liars, and
they will lie Ito a stranger about the
age, the qualities or the ownership OF
q horse. but they will not lie about his
pedigree, even when they can do so
with impunity. To be truthful on this
subject is almost matter Of religion,
certainly a point of honor In the des-
ert,-Atlantic

New Fashions.

The popularity Of the slot seam shows
no signs of waning.
Sleeves in general are tending to
smaller proportions at the wrist and in.
crease the size of the top.
Turnover collarettes Of pleated chiffon
having long front pieces of fan shaped
pleated chiffon are among the pretty
novelties.
Salt and pepper cloth, principally
pepper, is very jaunty in effect when
made up in Norfolk jackets for girls and
women with girlish figures.
Stylish dimity shirt waists, fresh from
the hands of the maker, designed for
spring and summer wear, are to be had
for prices ranging from 81 to so.
Champagne etamine Is one of the deli
cate colors in a delicate fabric that
promises to be very popular for tea and
dinner gowns for the post-Lenten season.
Some of tho shirt waist suits made Of
moire velour have crispness and chic
style about them that is excelled by no
other material used for the purpose.
Reseda green, generally popular for
early spring gowns and hats, is as usual
among the leading color tones for every
thing from q pair Of gloves to copious
evening wrap.-Argus.

CHARLOTTE cUsHMAN.
Bitter Ending of the One Love Ansaf
of the Famous Actress.


of the Famous Actress.
Charlotte Cushman, the actress, was
In love but once in her life. She met In
Cincinnati, where she was playing, an
actor named Clark, with whom she fell
in love. Through her efforts Clark was
advanced to leading man in the COM
pany, and the course Of true love ran
smoothly.
One night the actress met strange
woman behind the scenes between the
acts. :.
The woman came up to her and ad-
dressed her thus:
"You are Charlotte Cushman, the
great actress. Haven't you got enough
men to admire you without coming be-
tween man and wife and robbing me
of my husbandT
Your husbandw cried Miss Cush-
man, getting excited.
"Yes, and you have taken or you are
trying to take him from me-" contn'
ued the ragged woman, looking Miss
Cushman full in the face.
"Who is your husband"
Conrad Clark" replied the woman,
"the father of this child" pointing to a
half starved, thin little child in her
arms.
Miss Cushman started as If she had
been shot.
She went through her part that night
as usual-acted 1t splendidly-brought
down the house; then, after the per-
Torrance, she sent for Clark to come to
her dressing room. Clark knocked and
then opened the door. She brought for
ward to him his wife and baby, who
had been waiting in the dressing room
to receive him.
Such reception! Charlotte Cushman
never looked or acted so grandly on the
stage in all her life as she did that
night In her dressing room. She waved
Clark away with greater majesty
than ever as Queen Catherine she
waved away Cardinal Wolsey, and then
going to her hotel probably she had q
good crying spell.
But she never loved again.

IvGTs 4 Pond PianOS.'
The Conservatory Expands.

The New England Conservatory of
Music is about to move into its beautiful
new buildings on the Back Bay. This
is the largest school of music in the
world, and its p-e-eminence among
American institutions has been conceded
ever since it was founded in 1853 by DIR.
Eben Tourjne.
Twenty years ago, when the depart
ment of pianoforte instruction was being
developed, few Ivers & Pond pianos
were purchased. Since then, as the con-
servatory has expanded, there have
gradually been acquired 26S Ivers Il
Pond pianos. With the expansion in
cidental to moving into the new build
ing, the board of directors of the con-
servatory have placed their order for 81
additional Ivers & Pond pianos, making
a total of 300.
Higher tribute to this famous Boston
art product would be hardly possible
than 20 years continued patronage by
this most critical of musical institutions.

newspaper of New England, in its issue
