MARY ANDERSON.

Mary Anderson's life seems like a ro-
nance. Born in poverty, she dreamed
of success on the stage and achieved it
in her youth. She left the stage at the
hight of her career. while still a young
woman, and has repeatedly refused
fortunes to return to it.
To talk to Mary Anderson to-day,
says the Chicago Chronicle, brings no
suggestion of the famous stage queen.
She has the same vivacious manner, the
same heartiness. the same enthusiasm,
the same readiness of speech, the same
merry laugh, but her past is but a
memory with her. Not a portrait In
her surroundings suggests her as an
actress and of all the hundreds of por-
traits taken in character she does not
possess one. Nor has she programme
of any of her performances.
She is simply SO happy in living to-
day that her past is almost blotted out,
and not a little of her happiness comes
from the fact that she married the right
man and lives a life of true comrade-
ship. They live where they please and
go where they please and do as they
please. They delight in outdoor exer-
else and take their walks and rides,
rain or shine.
Her husband was her sutton for ten
years before their marriage and has
been her lover husband for that many
more. He is her opposite-smaI in
stature dark, handsome and manly. He
is a graduate of Columbia University,
New York.
Society sees little of the Navarros.
They care only for their intimate
friends and relatives They are fond
of picture galleries, the gray old ca
thedrals of England and the places his
tory has made famous. They have ex-
plored old London to the very core and
know all the haunts of the great writ
ers. They made flying trip to Amer
lea in the spring of 1900. They are both
fond of the theater, but Mr.. Navarro is
more enthusiastic about it than his
wife. OF late years she has been culti-
waiting her rich contralto voice and has
written "a Few Memories" a history
of her stage career.

WOMAN PAYS HER FARE.

The trolley car says the Brooklyn
Times, is becoming tiresome, but new
ertheless, it is omniscient. A woman
got into one recently. She sat down
in the corner, and the conductor adj
vanced for the fare. She unlocked her
fur boa and got out her bag and
opened her bag and took out her purse
and shut the bag and took off her
glove and opened her purse and took
out dime and shut the purse and gave
the dime to the conductor. Then she
opened her bag and put the purse in
her bag and closed her bag and put it
in her pocket and put on her glove and
hooked her boa. Meanwhile, the con-
ductor gave her the change. She un-
hooked her boa and got out her bag
and opened the bag, took out her purse
and closed the bag and took off her
glove and opened the purse and took
the nickel from the conductor. Then
she put the nickel in the purse and
closed the purse and opened the bag
and put the purse into the bag and
closed the bag and put the bag into
her pocket and put on her glove and
hooked the boa and murmured, Trans

She took the transfer and unlock

TRIALS OF A CONDUCTOR.

phia Ledger, had had his troubles for
the day, first with a refractory gentle
man who refused to get out of the mid
die of the doorway because he said, if
he had to stand, he would stand where
he pleased; then with two drunken la
dies" who insisted upon going to sleep
on their neighbors' shoulders, and now
with a stout. redfaced woman, who
shook her fist in his face and demanded
his number.
II shall report you," she puffed, grow
ing redder with each word: "how dare
you start the car like that when was
not vet on?"
We'll, madam, you had plenty of time
to get on" replied the conductor.
None of your back talk. SIR she
shouted. II only had one foot on this
car. You might have broken my leg
starting off in that fashion. I know a
woman who got SO, 500 damages for less
than that. 1 shall take your number,
sir" and she began busily fumbling for
a paper and pencil.
"Well, you can take my number,
don't care" answered the conductor. "I
reckon all them men on the back plat
form will come as witnesses that you
was the one at fault. This amt no re-
ception room, where you kin entertain

"Sir, you are rude and l shall report

keep my feet where 1 like and shall
speak to whom 1 like. Stop this car
Immediately. won't breathe the same

nation she swept off the car followed
by the derisive jeers of every man on

THE GIRL OF THE FUTURE.

At the celebration of the two hun
bred and eighteenth anniversary of the
landing of the Pilgrims held at New
York recently Miss Josephine Dodge
Daskam was called on to respond to

ture will be obliged to choose between
her present privileges and her rights.
If this evolution continues L should ad-

A MOUNTAIN FULL
OF HOT WATER.

A most remarkable trouble has been
met by the engineers who are digging
the wonderful tunnel that runs through
the great Simplon Mountain and is to
open gate through the Alps between
Switzerland and Italy.
After the Swiss end of the tunnel had
, been practically finished and the ItaI-
ian end had been begun the workmen
noticed a peculiarly oppressive heat in
the borings. With each foot that was
removed this heat grew until it be-
came almost impossible to work.
For a long time It was a puzzle to
engineers and all others. Even geolo-
gists were called in but without result.
Finally, however. IL was found that
the heat came from water that was al
most at the boiling point and that drip
ped and flowed through the assures in
the rock of the mighty mountain.
Further investigation showed that
this boiling water did not come from
boiling underground springs, as might
have been suspected at first.
On the contrary. 1t came from the
very top of the mountain, more than a
mile high. Although it lis so cold up
there that the peaks are covered with
perpetual snow. and the water conse-
quently, was icy when 1t started on
caused by it's percolation through six
thousand feet of mountain, mostly bed
after bed of limestone, made the water
so hot that it was at the boiling point
when 1t reached the borings.
Before the tunnel had been dug very
far on the Italian side, the heat became
so intense that it was not only impos-
sible to work but actually impossible
to live in 1t.
For tinna ff caaf,1ad fba line
of the tunnel would have to be changed.
But the clever engineers solved the
difficulty In better way and they ac-
tually managed to make the hot water
provide its own remedy.
They piped the mountain, and soon
they had $4,000 gallons, Of steaming hot
water flowing out of the south end of
the tunnel every minute Of the day and
night.
They harnessed this immense flow,
and before long they had 1t driving re-
frigerating plants and cold air blowers.
So now the hot water. that had threat
ened to stop the work, is operating ma
cbinery that blows cold air into places
where the air is too hot and cold water
into places where hot water drips or
flows. To-day the temperature of the
tunnel has been reduced to a pleasant
temperature warmth. equal to fine,
gentle day in June, from temperature
that would have roasted a man in a
minute or two.
Not content with making the hot wa
ter provide its own remedy, the engin-
GERS have chained 1t TO pneumatic drills
and boring machines. so that now it
helps to dig the tunnel as well.
The Simplon tunnel will be the great
est in the world when it is completed
1t will be fourteen miles long and will
cost nearly s1,000.000 a mile.

The most popular hostess is she
who combines the art of self-efface-
ment with the quality of omnipres-
ence. In other words, she is never
obtrusive, yet one feels her presence
in the hundred and one small COM
forts and pleasures with which she
surrounds her guests.
This is particularly true of the hos
tess who entertains the weekend
house parties now so much in vogue.
These are nothing IL not leisurely
restful gatherings, and the hostess
whose tendency is to fuss" over her
gusts should never undertake a house
party.
She who really entertains visitors, in
the truest sense of the world, prepares
for them with infinite care. then gives
them an opportunity to enjoy the
fruits of this preparation in peace
and comfort. She makes her guest
chamber comfortable, but does not
drop in at lnopportune moments to
ask whether everything Is all right.
She notes signs of restlessness and
has something ready to suggest, but
she does not interrupt when all signs
point to restfulness.
She gives her visitor to understand
that the driving is capital, the cross
country walks delightful, the billiard
room in readiness, but she does not
drive her poor. over-entertained guest
from pillar to post in edeavori1g TO
perfom her self-imposed role Of the
strenuous hostess.
The hostess who asks no questions
when you choose to shut yourself in
your room with a nervous headache or
for some less tangible reason, and Goes
not thrus. nostrums of unavailable
advice upon you, is a blessing to be
appreciated. Every woman has her pet
headache remedy, and there are mo-
ments when the most social creatures
want to be alone.
A good summer hostess may cut a
sorry figure in winter and Vice versa
A woman who is all sparkle and vi

flower in hot weather; and a woman
who is all froth and hutter on the

The True Disciple.

Q Master, let me walk with Thee
In lowly paths of service free;
Tell me Thy secret; help me bear
The strain of toll, the fret of care.
Help me the slow heart to move
BY some clear, winning word of love;
Teach me the hayward feet to stay,
And guide them in the homeward way.
Teach me Thy patience; still with
Thee
In closer, dearer company.
In work that keeps faith sweet and
strong,
In trust that triumphs over wrong.
In hope that sends a shining ray
Far down the futures broadening way;
In peace that only Thou canst give,
With Thee, o Master let me live.
