until night. and which she painted and sold. on canvas, 50 times.
 All this while the young schoolgirl was developing into the young woman, and in every picture she painted, always from life, some decided improvement was manifest over her previous efforts. She loved her self-imposed task, and fol- lowed it so closely, first in the minutest observation of her subjects, and then in the patient detail of reproducing 1t, that she could not fail of success.
 And thus the misch1evous little girl who had been locked up in the school cellar to punish her for her roguery and disregard of all rules of propriety, had so improved in her chosen profession that in 184S Horace Vernet, then presi- dent of the Society of Fine Arts in Paris, pronounced her to be the first female ar- tist in France-he might have truthful ly added in the world.
 This was Rosa Bonheur.
 Her pictures to-day grace the first gall leries of the world, and command the highest prices. They are more simple and grand than elaborate, while her touch is masterly, there being no trace of woman's hand in anything she paints. She aspired to photograph na- ture in colors, and her success was per feet.
 Rosa did not grow up to be a handsome woman, though she had a fine brow and very expressive and beautiful eyes; but the face as g whole was rather harsh. The hands and feet were of the most petite character. She always wore her hair short, and in many respects fol- lowed the dress of the sterner sex; but in her manners she was refined and lady like.
 In her frequent visits to the cattle fairs and stockyards, where she selected her animal models, she always put on male attire. and was invariably at tended by two huge mastiffs, who could make her respected; if necessary, by a sign from their mistress.
 One day when she was on her way to visit the cattle market to make some studies, and dressed as man, when her maid came suddenly to her and an- nounced the illness of a dear lady friend who lived hard by. Rosa hastened up to see her, and, throwing herself on the bed, caressed the invalid. Just at this moment the doctor entered, and, horri- fled at what he saw, made hasty re. treat.
 For pity's sake, Rosa" cried her friend, hasten after him and explain!"
 "Oh, it's no matter" she replied.
 "Ah, but he's the greatest gossip liv- ing, and will spread the report that re- ceive visits from lovers, and all sorts of horrors"
 So Rosa hastened after the doctor, but found it not so easy to convince him who she was.
 Such is glance at the romantic his- tory of the most famous female artist of the world.-N. Y. Weekly.

.MAD!EMOISELLE.
 MISCHIEF
. By, LIEUT.. MURRAY

MANY years ago, in cottage near MI Paris, there lived widower with four children. The locality was in ! beautifully wooded district. since swal- lowed up in the grand improvements of the Bois de Boulogne. The occupant of the cottage was an artist, and a very humble one in point of ability, who struggled industriously to obtain food for those four young mouths, like pa rent bird presiding over nest of fledg- lings.
 The oldest of these children was sent to school at the time we refer to. proving an exceedingly intelligent pupil, but with such an irresistible propensity for mischief of all sorts that she absolutely came to be called MademOiselle Mis- chief.
 She was good-hearted child, but yet a perfect little imp whose roguery got her constantly into difficulty.
 One very reprehensible trick of the young girl was the propensity, which seemed perfectly natural to her, for drawing caricatures of the schoolmis- tress and others, especially of all her young companions, which, being done with admirable likenesses, possessed just enough merit to make the satire very keen and sometimes bitterly felt.
 Miss Mischief was also wonderfully expert with the scissors, cutting out pic lures from black paper, and was also very skillful in carving wood with her penknife. Another trick to which she was addicted was that of producing from bread crumbs absurd likenesses of her teacher and such professors as vis- ited the school where she belonged.
 The roguish little creature gave her schoolmistress an infinite amount of trouble, and there is no use in disgusting the fact that she was almost daily laid across the mistress lap and soundly punished. Still 1t was impossible to break her exuberant spirit, and she went on with her caricatures, mingled with pictures of animals and trees.
 At last it seemed as though the good schoolmistress was in despair. She

The grave mistake made by. Gov ernor Cummins, Senator Hansbrough and other republicans Is their belief that tariff revision can never be ac- complished by a republican house. The people must elect a democratic ma jority to the lower chamber of con gress and until they do there is little likelihood of any tariff revision, unless it be revision upwards to suit the pro- tected interests.

To Banish Sea-Sickness.

Bright red spectacles, accompanied by internal doses of calomel, form a new German specific against sea-sick- ness. It is deducted from Epstein's investigations on the influence of color on the blood vessels in the brain.
 Sea sickness is due to lack of blood in the brain, while red sends blood to the brain with a rush. By looking at one point for some time through the red glasses the patient is rapidly cured.

Mrs Weightman Walker, the richest woman in the world, and who refused to allow her sister-in-law paltry ESQ., 100000 of her fortune, is said to have left Philadelphia because she was un- able to get into society there. Evi- dently it is more difficult to get into society than into the United States senate if fortune of sixty millions cannot accomplish it.

WORK. knew not how to punish her so as to have the proper effect She was tired of "cor- recting," and finally appealed to the child herself:
 What shall do with you?"
 "I don't know"
 "I do not wish to whip you"
 Please don't" she said.
 What can do to make you behave better?" f.
 Lock me up," said Miss Mischief. brightening up, as though capital idea had struck her.
 'T will try it" said the mistress.
 So the little girl was conducted to the coal cellar, where she was duly impris. oned. But, alas! when her mistress went to release her she found that the incor- rigible child had covered the walls of the cellar with really excellent portraits of a cat. in all. conceivable pastures, which had happened to be her fellow prisoner. The mistress could not lind it in her heart to be harsh on the occa- sion, for it was impossible not to recog. nize the excellence of the hastily exc cuted drawings.
 It seemed to be impossible to curb her young spirits, or to keep her within the bounds positively required by school dis cipline. and she was finally sent home and told that she must not return again. Her father, at his child's earnest re. quest, never sent her to school again, but, seeing upon what her heart was bent, he set himself to teaching her drawing. She, in the meantime. taught herself modelling. and executed . num- Der of clever designs of animals and hu- man figures. which she sold for whatever she could get upon the boulevards.
 Tte child was encouraged by even this trifing success, and set herself indus- triously to work painting her fathers domestic animals, consisting of . large dog, cat and an owl. These pictures were so we'll done that she found a pur- chaser for the three. who gave her . hundred francs for them-1. small for tune to her youthful imagination. These pet animals were reproduced, each time being better and better represented, un- til she got a hundred francs for each. Then she combined the three pets in one picture. showing . taste for grouping that would have done credit to . much older artist. and these pictures sold as fast as she finished them. Miss Mischief was improving daily. and no one real ized the fact more clearly than her father. who offered her all the instruc- tion he was able to give her. and aided her in seeking further opportunity for developing the genius which was in her.
 He took her often to the Louvre, whers she could see the grandest works of the old masters and historical paintings which fired her imagination and fasci- mated her eye. But her taste and genius had been cratic from the outset- Was not in the splendid halls of the Louvrs that she sought to study her srt. but out of dooFA She was always at home with nature. and loved to sketch among the fields. the novers and the 1onestie ani- mals- She vatcAsd the farnefs in the felds. and the oxea C vurk, the Aorses On the bo1lsvnr1K a1dpuFe1Do1 . lanb wAjeA T1n abuut uifA hQ fHu0 npgnang

Strange Freaks of the Lightning.

A<ctCof j IOHe Htott0f tVHs
During the severe rain and electrical storm
which passed over Frederick county last night
George Summers, of Mount Philip, who was
driving along the county road near Braddock
Heights, took shelter from the storm about
O'Clock under the overshoot of the barn ON the
farm of Milton Whip Mr.. Summers. while
talking with Mr.. Whip about the numerous
severe storms of late had one foot resting on
the hub of his wagon when bolt of lightning
passed from the barn, struck the horse and
killed the animal instantly. The shoe on Mr..
Summers foot was torn loose on both sides,
but, with the exception of slight numbness,
he was not injured.
Mr.. Whip while talking stood with his hand
resting on the back of a tame steer, and the
same bolt that killed the horse also killed the
steer and a COW that was standing near by,
but strange to say, Mr.. Whip was not hurt
in the least. Both men were much unnerved
when they realized what had happened. The
roof of the barn was slightly damaged, but
was not set on fire.

How to Fight the Microbes.
Ln..., 11..nI Ho.sa

A great deal is being said and written nova
days about the prevalence and the danger of
microbes and germs. In fact if the microbe is
SO plenty it is hard to understand how there is
any room left for mortal man on this earth.
No doubt there is the germ of truth in the germ
theory, but you will find that in dealing with
these enemies, as with those nearer our own
size, fear invites attack. The person who is
ALWAYS on the lookout for microbes, and
always fearing that one is navigating his
anatomy, is rarely overlooked when the pro-
cession of microbes passes by seeking victims.
In other words, the man who is always looking
for trouble generally finds it. The man who
maintains a digniied reserve and gives the
microbe to understand that he spurns him and
has no fear-at the same time keeping himself
in a good healthy condition-stands a good
show of escaping any unpleasant intimacy
with these overestimated insect tramps.

Surveying for New Line for Pennsyl-
vania r R.-The Baltimore american says
squad of Pennsylvania Railroad engineers are
now engaged in making survey along Boun-
Diary avenue at the present northern city linn
its, and it is believed that they are laying out a
route for the proposed loop around the city.
While none of the officials of the company
will discuss the proposed route, owing, they
say, to the desire to forestall real estate specu
lators, it is believed that the line to be selected,
and which will be announced in the fall, will
skirt the city limits, leaving at Bayview and
joining the Northern Central near Cockeysville,
and then, for the southern connection, running
to the Washington Branch.
1t is expected that at the September meeting
of the board of directors of the company the
new line will be authorized, and work will be
started soon after.
