schools almost exclusively. This
young lady, Mile. Germaine Rejane,
speaks English almost like native.
She is with her mother on the present
trip, but the husband apparently is
not. His only claims to distinction
so far as known on this side of the
water are based upon his pessimistic
view of American taste as shown by
the New Workers. failure to go and
see his clever wife in plays which
they could not understand, and his
positive refusal to allow her to play
with Coquelin, the great French
comedian.
This was only q year or two ago.
For some reason Coquelin and Jane
Hading were not to play together
and Rejane, who had always been
anxious to appear with the comedian,
signified her desire to play with
him in certain piece. Coquelin was
agreeable to the proposed arrange
ment and everything had apparently
been arranged, when Rejane's hus-
band interposed his dictum. The af-
fair raised great row in Paris and
came near getting into the courts.

that the husband carried his point
Legally he was able to do so, of
course, since, so far as the law goes,

OF champion riders there are two

them are the champions of all coun-

The Aurora Zouaves, the best drilled

Many features have been added to
the already big menagerie. A collection
of fourteen full-grown Polar bears will
be an original and novel feature. No
show has ever before exhibited more

the number are the famous Forepaugh

From American Gardening.
The Rafflesia is strange plant. It
grows in Sumatra and derives its name
from Sir Stamford Rallies, Governor of
Sumatra at one time, and his friend,
Dr.. Arnold, a naturalist. They were
the first white men to discover the
wonderful plant. 1t is said to be the
largest and most magnificent flower
in the world. It is composed of i've
roundish petals each a foot across and
of a brick red color, covered with
numerous irregular yellowish white
swellings. The margin of which bears
the stamens.
The cup is filed with n feshy disk,
the upper surface of which is every
where covered with projections like
miniature cows horns. The cup when
free from its contents would hold about
twelve pints of water. The flower
weigh fifteen pounds. 1t Is very thick
the petals being three-quarters of an
inch in thickness. With it's beauty one
is led to expect sweetness, but it's odor
is that of tainted beef, and DR.. Ar
mold supposed that even the flies were
deceived by the smell and were de-
posting their eggs in the thick disk,
taking it for a piece of carrion.

NV Lady Of the North. BY Randa

My Lady of the North. BY Randall
Parrish. Chicago: A. C.. McClurg &
Co. Cloth: illustrated. Price, $1.50.
The author has become well and fav-
orably known through his former book,
when Wilderness Was King" That
effort sprang into almost instant pop
ularity. The present volume deserves
even better than the first, since it is
more mature and more natural, and
at the same time not less heroically
romantic. The scene is laid in the
time of the war between the states.
The hero is q gallant officer of the Con-
federate army; the heroine a loyal adj
herent of the North. They meet under
most perilous circumstances, from their
mutual attachment in the face of
death, and do their small bit of real
love-making under conditions that
must send the pulse of the reader
beating quickly. OF heroics, blood
and thunder, and all that, there is an
abundance. But to the eternal credit
of the author be it said, he knew when
to stop. His chapters are not over
loaded with words: his scenes are not
spoiled by a reaching for ultra-effect.
The movement, even at the most dra-
matte junctures, is smooth and nat
ural--what one might reasonably ex-
pect under the circumstances. One of
the chief charms of the story. aside
from the really absorbing narrative it.
SELF is the fact that it does not insult
the readers intelligence with monstrous
absurdities, as so many romances do.
In short, the story is a high colored,
rapid-fire war romance, with an abund-
ance of sentiment: the whole, mean
while, being tempered with reasonable
ness and common-sense. 1t is one OF
the best stories of it's class that may
be expected this season, or the next.

New York, Oct. 22.-Mme. Rejane, the
French Coincidence, who broke her
voyage at this port the other day, en-
route for Havana, whence she will re-
turn early next month, is by no means
a beauty, though assuredly an exceed
ingly attractive woman, off the stage
as well as on.
In this, like the lamented Janau-
schek, the late Agnes Booth, Nine.
Schumann Heink and many other
noted stage women, Nine. Rejane, dis
proves completely the dictum that
exceptional physical comeliness is
necessary to win distinguished sue
cess before the footlights.
Rejane is the most great stage
woman, also, in this: She pays an
immense amount of personal atten-
ton to rehearsals, and though as a
matter of course, she has a stage
manager, it is her will and words that
are final, not his, at rehearsal time.

1870, she was at great disadvantage

During one of Jefferson's latest en-

many of the patrons insisted upon

hard for Manager Rapley to convince
many people that "Old joe was on

finally dawned on Mr.. Jefferson that
Harry was working out some kind of
problem by exhibiting him so freely
on this occasion. When Mr.. Jefferson,
good naturally accused Rapley of hav-
ing designs on him, he confessed that
there had been so many inquiries for

Washington, Oct. 22.-The venerable
actor Joseph Jefferson, is to be seen
no more on the theatrical stage. His
formal retirement to private life, while
not unexpected, will be universally re-
aretted. He says in an admirably
written interview in the New York
Herald of last Sunday, that he will
act no more, but will spend the re-
mainder of his days on his farm in
Florida.

uprising of the negroes adds to the
book as a story, besides furnishing an
opportunity to the writer to voice his
opinion on the Acknowledgement OF
the ignorant and vicious blacks. In
describing them, as in picturing the

shows a thorough acquaintance with
