1t is from the first photograph Miss
Corelli ever had taken, except n by
an amateur photographer. Speaking
Of its publication In the book, she says:
Il am somewhat reluctant to see 1t
SO placed, because 1t has nothing what
ever to do with the story which is told
in the following pages beyond being a
faithful likeness Of the author who Is
responsible for this and many other
previous books which have had the
good fortune to meet with a friendly
reception from the reading public.
Moreover, l am not quite able to con-
vince myself that my pictured person
atty can have n interest for my
readers, as II has always seemed to
me that an authors real being Is more
disclosed In his or her work than in
any portrayed presentment Of mere
physiognomy.
But owing to the fact that various
gross, and l think l may say libelous,
fictitious Misrepresentation Of me have
been freely and unwarrantedly circu'
lated throughout Great Britain, the col
onies and America by certain lower
sections Of the pictorial press, which
with a zeal worthy of a better and

means to ALLEVIATE my readers from me

Helping young ideas to shoot is sup
posed to stand in the way of matrimony
Teachers, 1t is said. seldom marry. In
part, there is a logical fallacy involved;
Ii is often not that women fail TO marry
because they teach. but that they teach
because they have no tendency toward
marriage. According to a dispatch
from Cleveland, a jury has decided that
O girl in love is unfit to teach. As the
case has been appealed the Supreme
Court may mitigate the rigor OF this
view. The lack Of harmony between
wedlock and instruction, admitting it
exists, is probably. for many reasons, on
the wane. Martinets are not a marry
ing class. but as the teaching OF young
children is becoming less a matter OF
routine bossing and rigid technically,
and more an effort to illuminate n
inspire, 1t becomes q more humane &C.
cupation, calls for warmer and more
sympathetic temperament, and there
fore should have more in common with
the life Of motherhood and matrimony.
Some m have q special gift for
guiding and stimulating the young.
and at the same time have little or moth
ing in common with men; but on the
average the best teachers Of children
would naturally be the same women
who would have strong impulses to-
ward the general destiny of intimate
responsibility and of reproduction. We
should tie pleased to have some light
from women teachers on this theme

BRIEF AND BREEZY PARAGRAPHS

The Democratic party of New York,
appears to have been put of at Buffalo.
Mayor Mcclellan says he will not
vote for Hearst, which proves that he
has a memory if Tammy has not.
Cuba shouldn't be discouraged.
Plenty of other Nations have made a
failure in their first attempts at self
Government.
One a why Tammany readily
forgave Mr.. Hearst is that 1t is still
doctoring the sore places where he
jabbed it last Spring.
Cubans who, in their recent rebellion
against Spain, thought they were free
ing Cuba. can now figure 1t out whose
game they were playing.
The reading public is just beginning
to understand why Senator Platt has
been taking so little interest in the
troubles of other people lately.
Sir Thomas says american women
are the best in the world" That's true.
AS he can't get the cup, why doesn't ne
try to capture n as a consolation
prize?
By declaring for tariff revision 'as
occasion may require" the N. Y. Re-
publicans have shown that they can
make themselves comfortable on the
fence when no other seat is available.

BOSTON'S OLD COMMANDER
Rear Admiral Wilde and His Work
in Manila Bay

The cruiser Boston, which met with
an accident off the Pacific coast near
the Peabody islands recently, was In
the famous fight in Manila bay in 1898.
She was in command of Rear Admiral
George Francis Faxon Wilde, then a
captain. Prior to the declaration of
war the Boston was stationed some
1900 miles to the south Of Hongkong,
in a Korean port, when n day a tele-
gram was received from Dewey which
read something like this:
"War with Spain. Hurry to Hong
kong"
Captain Wilde instantly cleared his
ship for action and started at full speed
for Hongkong, where he arrived three
or four days later, with every gun
loaded and every man at his gun ready
to fight at the sight of a Spanish flag.
Dewey couldn't quite understand the
warlike appearance of the Boston, and

Difficult Haymakin=,

One of the most curious sights that
one notices in the agricultural parts OF
Norway is the peculiar way of drying
out the hay. On account Of the ex-
IRENE dampness the grass rots if left
on the ground after it is moved. Wood.
en- drying fences that stretch for hun
dreds Of yards across the fields are
built, and every night the hay is hung
out to dry, like the family wash. The
sun helps along in the daytime, but it
is only a half hearted help, and in the
neighborhood Of Bergen, where it is
said to rain 1854 days out of the year,
the hay is almost always ''on the
fence" In the lake districts, where the
billy country makes means of trans
portatlon very difficult, a heavy copper
wire is stretched from the top of a
mountain to the village in the valley
below. Down this huge masses Of hay
are sent sailing through the air, some
times whizzing dangerously near the

Of the disturbance. It was a beautiful
night, and shortly after dinner, when
the deck was crowded with passengers,
the lookout shouted, Breakers ahead!"
This was in midocean, with no shoal
water nearer than the Australian coast,
five or six days sail distant. The
steamer was slowed down, and pres
emily drifted into a mass Of floating
lava and green slime. Bucketfuls were
hauled on deck and strained through
cloths Nearly all night the steamer
forged ahead at half speed, with the
floating scum grating against her sides,
and in the morning, when clear water
was reached, the sides of the ship be-
low the water line were bare Of paint
