HER PECULIAR EXCELLENCE.
Jane Austen Deft at Work Done with
Her Hands.

Miss Jane Austen, the English nov
elist, whose work is valued to-day more
than when it first appeared, in writing
to her sister in 1898, remarks, MY
mother desires me to tell you that 1 am
a very good housekeeper, which have
no reluctance in doing, because l really
think it my peculiar excellence, and for
this reason: l always take care to pro-
vide such things as please my own APP
petite, which l consider as the chief
merit in housekeeping" In her life of
Jane Austen. Constance Hill quotes
from Austen Leigh, who declares that
Miss Austen was successful in every
thing that she attempted with her ting-
ers.
Her needlework was exquisite. We
have. seen a muslin scarf embroidered
by her in satin-stitch, and have held in
our hands a tiny housewife of fairylike
proportions, which Jane worked at the
age of sixteen as a gift for a friend. 1t
consists of narrow strip of lowered
silk. embroidered at the back, which
measures four inches by one and
quarter, and is furnished with minikin
needles and fine thread At one end
there is a tiny pocket, containing some
verses in diminutive handwriting with
the date, "Jany, 1892"
Austen Leigh writes: "None of us
could throw spilikins in so perfect a
circle, or take them off with so steady
a hand. Her performances with the cup
and ball were marvellous. She has been
known to catch the ball hundred
times in succession"
She did not give up the activities and
pleasures OF everyday life in order to
write of the pleasures of other people,
and Aunt Jane" was the delight of a
large circle of nepnews and nieces.

for the railroad control of the trans

brilliant chapter in the Industrial his
tory of the country. Not that they have

themselves. Their transactions have

men have control of nearly $4,000 miles

these lines Hartman has executive con-
