ADOPTS BERNHARDT'S PLAN
BY MARQUIS DE cAsTELLANE.

Paris, December S.-(Special cable.)- Shortly before the death of the ex-pres- ident of the republic, M. casimir-Peri able society when young M. Casimir- Perier went to London with Mme. Simene le Bargy, the clever young actress.
 NJ. Le Bargay, who Is an actor at the Comedie> Francalse, secured a divorce at the beginning of this year. and since then he has brought an action against his ex-wife for continuing to use his name of Le Bargy on the stage instead of re- verting to her maiden name Simone Benda. as the French law requires.
 Mme. Le Bargy at first intended to fight the case, contending that she has d right to use the name by which she has obtained reputation upon the stage, but as she knows that at the final hear ing of the case her ex-husband will eer- tainly gain the day, she is going to yield with good grace.
 Mime. Sarah BernhardtShas advised her to go by the name on the stage simply of Mime. Simone, as she says Benda is too Jewish. Simone Benda, however, is not at all ashamed of her Jewish origin-for does she not share it with Sarah herself, the greatest actress of the day? She will, however falr in with Mime. Bern hardt's idea and call herself Simone.
 The most interesting fact of all, how ever, is that Mme Simone Benda is very shortly to become Mime. Casimi- Perier and thus will be united the descendant of a line of French statesmen, the member of a distinguished family to a divorced actress.

History teaches us that kings have sometimes married shepherdesses, but do not remember ever learning that queens have married shepherds. The princess de Croy, a very great lady, half Belgian and half German has, however. done something of the sort This lady, the widow of lord of high degree, herself born Princesse d'Arenberg and as such the sister of the nest prominent member of the Prussan house of Peers, has mar ried her coachman.
 But what is more extraordinary than the marriage itself, is the motive which led the Princess to contract 1t. Being of somewhat exaggerated piety, she pre- ferred to lower herself to marry this man rather than continue teAentertain an affection for him without the legal right to display it.

The Farmers Union Warehouse dedication and general rally last Thursday was a grand success. Early in the morning they began +o arrive and by 10 o'clock the .treets were thronged with the ..sunburned Sons of Foil.

 Dinner was then spread and all had a most pleasant hour after which Hon. w. s. Goodwin, can didate for congress, addressed the crowd.
 A large number of the farmers are taking advantage of the warehouse. There were about one hundred bales stored there Tuesday,

THE SPIRIT OF HOME.

It was obvious to him that pets nor furniture, no matter how new or fine, could be arran- ged so as to make a home. Old
 carpets and old furniture have much the character of old friends and they suit the farmer to a T. But. old and new, they have not hing to do with a home if some thing else is lacking. What that
 something is. or how it is to be acquired, no man can tell you; there is no recipe for it. Accord ing to a we'll l-defined rumor, the
 Pullman palace cars have been the means of rendering many a house hideous, and a hideous house can never be fashioned into a home. The finest things in the world are as cheap as dirt when they are not subordinate to something else. They cannot t make a home if the spirit of

 We have met no one from Ark ansas since leaving home. Our state does not seem to be fully appreciated abroad. People don't know much about our diamond mines, aour fine pine lumber, our Elberta peaches and big water melons, nor the fine fruits and vegetables we raise in Arkansas.

He laid that down and took the other for he saw that he could be a benefit to the farmers of Nevada county. That is not all he has done, he has disappointed his church people time after time to attend to the union business. That is more than 1 would do for you, and have some fellow say that l had told a falsehood about what 1 had done, when he never asked for the job at all.
 Now, farmers, if the executive committee has not got any power what do you have them for? My understanding is that the com mittee can call the president down. If this be true l think they had better call someone down for disorderly conduct, and saying that they had no right to recommend Felts. He defed the proof, but 1 think he can find it

LETTER FROM B. STEELE.

Early Tuesday morning l re- sumed my journey westward from St. Louis to New Mexico. To the readers of the Picayune who have travelled as little as 1 have, the great Union Depot at St. Louis is thing of magniti- cense. It is a huge structure of
 steel and stone located in the heart of the city at the junction of Pine and 18th streets, and IS the terminus of the many roads leading into this, the metropolis of the South and the gateway of the West. One is especially lm-

 We all know that every dwelling house is not a home. Neiher pov- erty nor riches can make 1t so, and that is a pity, too, since we are all so anxious to breathe it's atmosphere.

pressed with the great throngs of people ever present and al ways changing. Tn ere are twenty tracks coming into the building to accommodate the many passenger trains coming and going in ceaseless panorama. A transparent roof covers the whole of this trackage two or three acres in extent. The station also contains a large first class hotel with all modern con- veniences for the travelling pub lie.
 Leaving the city behind, we travelled for thirty or forty miles through very poor, rough, rug ged country. Our road shortly comes to the Missouri River and continues it's course on up its fertile valleys past Jeffer o n City. the capitol of the state and the home of Gov. Folk. Western Missouri contains some of the finest farming lands to be found, our rich bottom lands and the much boasted black land prairies of Texas not excepted. This fer tile country extends on to Kan sas city, where night overlook us. Kansas did not show up well in the dark. but we were told that it was as good as the country we had travelled through during the day.
 The distance between the two cities is 22S miles, which is span ned by four railroads besides having river transpor | o n. Many fields were fresh plowed and planted to wheat, others to alfalfa. The work seemed to be well done, being narrowed to a fine tilth. Most of the corn was already cut and shocked. Some of the wheat fields were already looking green and pretty As many as four horses to the team are used in blowing and harrow ing. Farmers live in good houses and have large barns. They raise fine stock mostly, so far as we could see. They have no cot ton to gather, and so have time for other things.
 It seems to be the prevailing custom more and more as one goes farther west to stack hay and leave 1t in the fields. Still farther west in Colorado and New Mexico the grass seems to cure without cutting, and the stock eat it and ct fat even in fall. They live on it all winter.

lin, Copenhagen and Budapest and has
just started with rush in London.

pretty and catchy. No players seem
to have been selected for 1t as yet.
Mr.. Savage has also secured the
American rights of Tom Jones a new
English light opera founded on Field
ings famous novel This is meeting
with much success in London. A new
musical comedy was also secured for
Raymond Hitchcock. Mr.. Savage has
one or two musical comedies by
Americans which he will produce dur

keep Nine Butterfly going for an
other season.

Rise Of Remarkable Actress.

Madame ALA Nazmova, the young
actress who in single year has mas.
tered English and has scored one of
the most distinct dramatic successes
of the past season, has a life-history
that is as romantic as the plays which
she interprets.
My earliest recollections, she
says, in the June Bohemian, are of
the swish of the waters of the Black
sea as they dashed upon the rocky
foundation of my fathers home in the
little city of Yalta in the Crmea.
Their restlessness found sympathetic
response in the longings which poss-
the longing to be something more
than was possible in the barren wastes
of Southern Russia. Through my
youth, and during those years | have
been upon the stage, the never-ending,
relentless wash of the Euxine waves
has kept time with the current of my
energy and ambition"
BY sheer merit she has taken fore
most place UPTON the English speak
ing stage. She has grown to like
America and Americans and she says
that she will make this country her
home.
For me-" she says, "there are no
ties so strong as the bonds | have
formed in the New World Here
have realized the ambitions of my
Those waters, in their
futile beating against the rocks of
Yalta were typical of the limits upon
life and art | would have to face
there Here ambition is not circum-
scribed-it may be free. and uncon-
fined like the hospitality, the energy
and the intellect of the land"

the greatest possible amount of lies
and perjury is compressed into the
smallest possible compass of words.
O. Where are these perjures COM
mitted?
A AT the altar of a smart church.
Q. BY whom are they committed?
A. Both by the Bridegroom and
the Bride. who in the name of God
make all sorts of solemn promises
that they have no intention whatever
of carrying out.
Q. Is there any sin in committing
perjury under such conditions?
A. There is no sin but rather a
virtue in so doing.
@. BY what proofs can you support
this?
A. BY the presence and approval
of my dear father and mother, and by
the benediction of the Bishop, or other
high ecclesiastical dignitary. who per-
forms the ceremony.
@. What is detrimental?
A. A good-looking but impecunious
young man whose attentions have
repealed coldly before marriage and
should encourage warmly afterward
Q. What are children?
A. The plague of married life, from
which it is my most earnest and pious
wish that | may be exempted.
Q. What is the maternal instinct?
A. A fashionable sentiment among
our ancestors which went out with
bonnets chaperons and table-centres.
Q. What is heart?
A. An internal organ connected
with the circulation of the bloood
| Q. What is love?

or big nose has more energy than
the owner of small one The ma
jority of men who have become re-
nowned as rulers and leaders, it is
pointed out, had big noses-Caesar.
Wellington, Napoleon and Nelson, for
example. A man with modest intel.
lect and a big nose can always be
reckoned on to make more of a mark
than a man with a great brain and a
little nose. The nostrils also have
their significance. Large nostrils indi-
cate courage: little ones, cowardice.
Long narrow ones show activity and
bodily vigor. Broad nostrils opening
toward the sides show prediction
for horses.
Mouth and lips are full of sugges-
tiveness. The nan with a hanging
underlip is apt to lack perseverance
and concentration of purpose. The
modest individuals lower lip is ha-
bitually pressed closed against the
upper lip at the center. The senti-
ment of hate causes hard dropping
of the lower lip so as to show the
teeth. Persons who habitually show
the teeth in this way are apt to be
malevoien.
The chin and lower jawbone are i'm
portant indexes of character. True
love is evident in face in which the
jawbone broadens clear back to the
level of the wisdom teeth. This is
true, both of men and women.
The youth who seeks an amiable
spirit in his sweetheart must choose
a girl with gently curving lower lips
and full and well rounded chin; her
eyes must be soft and brown If he
desires great consistency, he must look
carefully to the spread of her lower
jaw. Economy is promised by a
widening of the nose just above the
wings of the nostrils.
On the other hand, the young
woman who desires an Industrious
husband should choose a man with
long upper lip. If she desires even
good temper in her spouse. she had
best choose one with round face and
curly hair.-New York Sun.
