A story which Mr.. Davenport told OF
Pistrucci has Its point for collectors.
Pigtrucci wna an Italian and chief en-
graver at the mint. 1t Ii, by the way,

fine group Of 81. George and the drag

insisted that modern work Ia cameo
could DO quite al fine an ancient work.
A .potbsilcr' head OF Flora which hH
engraved ana sold to dealer for t5
was aftrrward sold az an antique to
Richard Payne Knight for $500.
Knight took the cameo In triumph to
Pistrucci. Where can you got modern
work like that.' he asked. Pistrucci
smiled and claimed the antique for his
own. knight would not believe him.
Examine the roses" said the artist,
.'and you will see that they are modern
flowers" The point was admitted by
others, but never by Knight, who be-
queathed the gem and the rost Of his
collection to the nation. Mr.. Dayen-
port said that but for the roses an ex-
pert would undoubtedly pronounce Pts
trucci's cameo fine antique. Man

women of Muscle.

In the time of Louis XIV. there was
an actress engaged ut the Theatre
Francois Mile. Gauthter-who could
break coin between the fingers Of one
hand and roll silver plate into the
form Of cup of conical shape. No
one could bear the pressure of her
hand, and only Maurice de Sake, one
of the strongest men Of his time, was
able to open her closed hand.
In the same century there lived In
England woman, Miss Bette Thomp-
son, who could break chains with her
hand.
Miss Kerra, a young mulatto woman,
who appeared In most OF the capitals in
Europe, was, we believe. the first to
perform the feat, while hanging with
the bend of her knees In trapeze, OF
holding man at his belt with her
teeth and turning him rapidly round
with her hands.

Unmarried Philosophers.

What philosophers have said about
marriage would make a fairly large
book. but those sayings might not al

II is recorded of Herbert Spencer that
he rejoiced at having never married,
because so many OF his friends who
had done SO came at length only to
tolerate their wives. and Montaigne
compared marriage to a cage. the
birds outside longing TO get in and
the birds within longing to get out.
