RIVALS FOR DANGER
Emperors of Germany and Austria
 Admire Same American Girl.
Miss Isador Duncan's Career from Western Music Halls to the Fnvorite of the Crowned
 Heads of Europe.

Recently another American girl has risen to the role of favorite on the American stage, even to such an ex tent that two of the most popular monarchs of Europe contended for the privilege of showering honors and riches upon her. Loie Fuller captured Paris, and held the gay capital en- tranced by her graceful dancing. What that American girl did in France Isador Duncan is to-day doing in Germany, and has done in Austria.
 The story of Isador Duncan's rise to fame reads almost like chapter from one of the old fairy tales. She Ss a California girl, seemingly a prod luct of it's sunshine, and begun her stage career as a dancer in the mu- sic halls of San Francisco and other lCalifornia cities From there she went to New York, where she under took to teach the children of a num- ber of wealthy families her style of dancing, and succeeded for time. It was while she was in New York that the Windsor hotel burned. It was here that she held her classes, and had number of children in the build- dng at the time of the fire, but by the exercise of judgment she got them all safely to the street.
 From New York she went to Europe, and appeared in 8 number of Euro pean capitals, achieving popular suc- cess. At her first appearance in Der lin her performance was witnessed by Emperor William, who was charmed by her poetry of motion," and who made her fattering offer of a perma- nent engagement at the court thea ter Other engagements prevented her accepting this offer at that time, but she promised to return at later date. Then she went to Vienna and danced before Emperor Francis Joseph, who also made her aIluring offers to re-

Why She Gave Up Her Job.

Why She Gave Up Her Job.
 A West Philadelphia girl who recent ly started to teach a Sunday school class has given it up as bad job. ''I am not built that way" she said in explaining to several friends why she had thrown up the sponge and retired from the ring. Its all due to my tenn per, which is by no means angelic, and it requires an angelic disposition to lead a Sunday school class of small boys in the way they should go. There was one young imp named Paul, who was the limit. If ever get to heaven and meet Paul, one or the other of us will have to quit. He had annoyed me from the first, but the end came that Sunday when the lesson was about turning your other cheek if your ene- my smites you. Just in what thought was the most interesting part of the lesson and when I could almost smell the halo singeing my hair Master Paul surreptitiously pulled out all my hair pins, and down it came all about my shoulders. Forgetting all about the les son, I turned and slapped him in the face. Then threw up the job."- Philadelphia Record.

PISTACHIo NUTS.
"A FaVorite Dainty with Creeks fin This Country Becoming Popular
 with Americans.

Two species of pistachios come to this country. Those from Armenia, Syria and Persia are larger, more tender and better favored than the varieties which come from Greece and the Greek archipelago. The Greek nuts are dryer and less dcsir- able to the American taste, though the New York Greeks prize them greatly and introduce them into most of their homemade cakes, says the New York Sun. ~-.
 The best grade of pistachios have appeared on afternoon tea tables of late and have also been served whole as part of desserts, with wine for &C., compartment, a mode of serving them that has long been popular in Italy.
 So popular has the flavor of this nut become that several limitations of pistachio paste are for sale. A compound of crushed, blanched al- monds, colored deftly with various harmless green substances, is often palmed off for pistachio paste.
 The Armenians in New York use the pistachio nut for stufine poul- try and for making pilaus and va r1ous savory dishes just as, the French use the chestnut. The nut when skinned and boiled is also used as vegetable just as the potato is uSad

HOW THEY ADVANCED IN LIFE.

The kind-hearted lady missionary was canvassing in the outskirts of Brooklyn when she came across two tramps lying on pile of warm fur mace slag, says a New York Times writer. One of them was about the worst-looking tramp on earth and the other was an easy second. After the usual preliminaries and offers of some slight assistance the kind lady said:
 Now, my men, tell me, please, how you came to this state" q
 ''We, walked, num-" said the worst looking of the pair.
 ''You misunderstood me, my good man. I mean, how did you come to the condition in which I find you? Tell me, please, both of you. I want to use the information for object lessons"

GRlcvc, B1ssET 6 HOLLAND.

American girl will remain permanenu- ly. The theater which is being built for her is of distinctly classical type of architecture, fashioned after the models of the old Greek temples. This is in keeping with her dancing, which is severely classical. She believes that every musical sound has its echo in movement, and it is in the interpreta- ton of this echo that gives charm to her dances, which in reality are but series of artistic poses, depicting joy, sorrow, grief and shame, passing in rapid review with the changes of the music.
 Miss Duncan initiates the ancient Greeks in her dress upon the stage. She does not wear gowns, but draper ies. Her feet and arms are entirely bare, and the drapery so light that every outline of her figure can be distinctly seen, but no one has ever chided her as being immodest in any way. Her modesty was noted even while a performer in the music halls of the west.
 Miss Duncan believes in her art. While her dancing is almost religion, and she believes that poetry of mo- ton" should be studied by all. It is her art that makes her attractive, and she believes that graceful move ments will make any woman bea utiful She is not beautiful in the accepted meaning of the word, though she has thoughtful, reflective eyes which give to her face a decided charm.
 With so distinguished person as the German emperor a patron Miss Dun- cancannot help but secure even greater success and popularity than has al- ready fallen to her lot. While she will make Berlin her future home. she has in no way renounced her aI- legiance to America, and says that her plans for the future include re- turn to it's shores for time at least,

 Wash n gtoM.

"A great many people have asked me what became of the old omn;- buses which, in the days from 1853 to 1869, before Pennsylvania avenue was paved, and prior to the advent or the horse car. used to haul a monopoly of the passenger and trans Ter business at the capital" said a secondhand vehicle dealer. according to Washington report. Tn those days the city was as full of omni buses as 1t is now of trolley cars, and old residents have often wondered what became of those gaudy, eayly painted concerns, capable of holding 40 people, When the street cars took their places they were torn Iup for the material in them, until by 1885 there was just one out of the several hundred left standing in an old stable outside the city. There it remained, neglected and forgotten, until the Spanish-American war, when a local drayage and transfer firm heard of it, and purchased it for song.
 ''The firm used it to carry passen- gers, soldiers, officers and visitors be- tween the city and Falls church and Camp Alger. It was a lucky hit, for the old omnibus is to-day the largest vehicle in the city, and will accommo- date 52 people. Finding it of consid- erable use, the firm, at the end of the war with Spain, decided to keep it, and since then has used it for small picnic parties. It is out every Deco ration day, carrying passengers to Arlington, and reminding the old vet erans of the good old days of 1862. It Is the last relic of the omnibus period of Washington civilization, and to-day the largest thing on wheels in the capital"

What are Factory Remnants?

Short ends accumulate at mills-as there are no looms which will always weave a perfect piece of cloth. If an imperfection occurs that piece is cut off and put aside. These are called Fac tory Remnants To-day manufactur- CTS make most of their goods on con- tract, and in many cases the full pieces must contain an exact number of yards In order to weave the desired length without imperfections they supply the loom with more yarns than 1t would really take, and if the finished piece contains more yards than is desired, the SURPLUS is cut off, and goes to the Remnant pile.
