La Rosina's Career.

La Rosina had an extraordinary history.
She was barmaid at Turin when Victor
Emmanuel first saw her during the war
which placed him upon the throne of italy
and he persuaded her to accompany him In
his campaign. From that time she became
conspicuous figure at the headoua rters
of the Italian army, and rode by the side
OF her lover when he entered the gates of
Rome, Indifferent to the efforts of his min
listers and others to separate her from him.
She never made herself conspicuous; she
never presumed upon her claims; she never
meddled in politics: and. although the re-
lation furnished his fame. 1t Is the almost
unanimous opinion that Victor Emmanuel
was better man. a better soldier and a
better king because Of her influence over
him.
He was rough. uncouth soldier: full
chested. coarse and full OF temper. There
was no delicacy or refinement about him.
and there Is no telling what be might have
done or where his passions might have led
him but for the restraint she exercised.
HIS legitimate sons. the late King HUM
bart and the late King Amadeus, always
treated her with respect and the former =

DODILY GRACE.

eny Woman Nay Become 1.-the and
Easy of MoNccmnt.
In America we hive not yet learned
to give pr"yer attention to our bodily
movements We are apt to think that
if we are romcly in the face nothing
more is needed. There is no greater
mistake. The woman who carries her
self in graceful. noble qucenly way
will attract admiring notice wherever
she passes. while nobody will look at Il
merely pretty girl who SlouchcS awk-
Wardly along beside her.
In France the streets and parks
abound in groups of rare and classic
ally graceful groups of Statuary. The
people, even the poorest working wo-
men, have these exquisite models of
grace and poisc before their eyes al
ways. In course of time they uncOn-
SciouSly initiate the grace of the mar
blcs. Moreover, the tiny French maid
Ell is trained from the time she begins
to walk to move her feet and hands
gracefully.

Don't MIX Rum with Fruit.

to the Iowa people who go to the Isthmus

with fruit would be wise and humane

Mr.. Loring knows something of the
equatorial regions, though his knowledge
of the native liquors in that section has
been gained wholly by observation and
not by participating in the riots which
they are guaranteed to engender

Coal in London.

Every winter day 100000 tons of
smoke are poured ont of Londons chin
neys." This is the age of statistics: but.
quoted from an important London daily
paper, these take the breath away. saws
the London Chronicle The fact of the
matter is that only 100000 tons of
coal enter London in year, and thar
supplies the houses within radius of
fifteen miles of Charing Cross. There
are only some 100000 houses. with l.
100000 fireplaces. Where do the <
100000 tons of smoke come from? If
all the air that passes up the chimnpys
during the process CT combustion every
day is regarded as smoke, there NAV be
a possible answer, but for such a caIcu-
lation q Lord Kelvin is needed.
