Raehel,s sister SIN Lives.

Comparatively few persons are
aware that the once great actress Of
the Comedie Franchise, Rachel, who
died so far back as 1858 has a sister
still living in Paris. This sister, Mile.
Lea Felix, was hurt in a carriage acct
dent recently, but is now getting
better. Mile. Felix retired from the
stage fifteen years ago, her last ap,
pearance being as Joan of Arc, in
Barbier's drama, at the Porte Saint
Martin. She always retained her fam.
fly name of Felix. Mile, Rachel, the
great tragedienne, had four sisters
and one brother All her sisters were
actresses, like herself, and had con
siderable success in the profession. Lea
Felix is, in all probability, the only
one Of the sisters rJy liying.-Lon-

Tho Busines. womau,s Problems.

Why the woman who works for
living is usually more nervous and in
less exuberant health generally than
the man who works, has been a matter
for much discussion in clubs and news
papers, ard without any satisfactory
verdict having been reached, but there
are those who Go not find it hard to
understand the phenomenon.
The mar who works usually docs one
sort of work. lie IL physician, law
yer. or a clerk, and when he has closed
his office door FOR the day, if he is
sensible man, he puts IN the remainder
of the tine enjoying himself in what
ever way best sits him.
And the woman who works-well,
she is usually jacl; of a dozer trades
and master of none.
When she comes home from her Office
it occurs TO her that there are half Il
dozen pairs of stockings to be darned-
and she sets to work forthwith on this
nerye-tearing work. When the stock
ings are finished. she is just rs likely
as not TO sew on the lace chat the
laundress has ripped off skirt, and
she goes to bed with her head aching
and absolutely unrefreshed.
In the morning she remembers that
there are q dozen little lace collars to
be laundered, for they We're much too
fragile to 90 in the general laundry,
and that afternoon she gives over to
the "doing-up" OF these troublesome
little things, adding a couple of white
belts, three pairs of white gloves and
veil to the pile.
When she has finished with these,
her back is aching, and she is glad to
lie down and read by the light of a
distant and dim gas jet the afternoon
newspaper, thereby bringing on the
ills that come from eye strain.
She discovers the next afternoon that
her hair needs washing, and she spends
good two hours at this hard work.
She doesn't feel that she can afford the
seventy-five cents or 81 that Il hair
dresser would charge her for this SER
vice, and which the latter can do much
better than she can do it herself. and
so she expends strength that Is worth
more to her than money. IN half-dolng
this work.
she manicures her own nails when
she should be taking a nap, and makes
shirt waists when she should be eXer-
clsing in the open. She makes cara
mels by way of fun, and fuses over
them until she herself admits that she
is 'half-dead."
| She finds things for herself TO do
that really needn't be done, and by
the end of the summer she is limp
and nerve-racked rag.
But have to keep nice" she walls,
"and cannot afford TO hire some one

1t is, indeed, problem how the bust
ness woman shall manage, but, never

why she who works for a living Is
usually a thin and anaemlc person
who looks haggard and old before hei
time.-Baltimore News.

A JnmpinR Hog.

A jumping hog afforded much
amusement in the hog-pens at the
stock-yards day before yesterday
morning. Although the animal weighed
1SO pounds 1t would jump board fences
FIVE feet high. The speculator who
bought the hog found it impossible to
confne 1t to a pen, so the pen had TO
be covered with boards. According TO
men who have been at the hog-yards
for years, this was the first hog that
had ever leaped fence there.-Kan-

Great EnrthaunIxcs.

According to the dispatches from In
dia. there have been approximately 49,
600 deaths as the result OF the recent
earthquakes in the Kangra and Palam-
pur districts, which would put the ca
tastrophe high up among the list of the
greatest Of modern times. Places of
honor in this catalogue of destruction
are held by the great earthquake at
Lisbon, Nov. /. 1875, which left the city
n heap OF ruins and destroyed G0,000
lives; the earthquake In Calabria in
1873; that which destroyed Caracas in
1872; that in Japan IN 1891 and the
earthquake phenomena accompanying
the volcanic eruption OF Krakatoa In
1883. The Lisbon earthquake threw
down the greater part of the city in six
minutes and disturbed an enormous
area, being felt in the Alps, Great Brit
ain. in the Baltic and in northern Ger
many and at Algiers and Fee as Sc
verely as In Spain and Portugal. The
effects OF the sea waves were noticea-
bic at much greater distances.

A method has recently been invented
of depositing metal coating electrical
~ on lacos and other fine fabrics. The
process is still kept n secret, but Il
turns out the most surprising results,
in effect changing the tissues exposed
into the daintiest fabrics OF gold, silver
or bronze. The utility OF the metallized
laces covers various fields. They serve
for table ornamentatlon and for center
pieces; architects use them in mural
decorations; in applications on uphol-
stery and for the hangings of panels in
salons, boudolrs and rich dining halls.
The makers Of fine furniture incrust
wood with them in the manufacture OF
screens and on surfaces of any kind,
plain or curved. They are also used
with striking effect In ecclesiastical
vestments and in ball and evening
dresses. Rich as they are in appear
ance and unparalleled In delicacy and
beauty they are very cheap. Anybody
can afford them, and the extent OF their
use in costumlng bids fair to be very
great. France discovered and Is de-
