Bernhardt's Wonderful wio.

Speaking of Sarah Bernhardt's per-
Torrance as Eleonore in The Courte-
san of Corinth," the Paris correspond
ent of Berlin paper says: And the
wig-who will describe it? We know
that it was made in London by the
man who has no superior in the bust
ness. We know also that Bernhard
insisted on the maker coming to Paris
with his handiwork in order that he
might adjust it properly, because, she
says, the best wig, when improperly
placed. is only wig. while artistic
adornment makes it part of the per
son who wears it. He came and re-
ceived-shall we believe it,, 500

A REASONABLE MANS LONGING.

There are people who wonder what Ibsen

There are others who tell us that Gibson
Gives of each of his girls too much

There are people who argue concerning
The gap between monkey and man:
There are those who are eagerly yearning
To find out the plans of Japan;
AS for me, win candidly say
That my troubles would all disappear
II knew how to live on my pay
And save up ten thousand year.
There are those who are foolshly trying
To find out conditions on Mars
And others who wish to go flying
When they might have soft seats in the
cars:
There are people who sigh for permission
To pliantly kneel before kings;
There are few who are in the position
To praise all sublunary things;
AZ for me, would cease to be sad,
And never again would a tear
Be wrung from my heart II had
Ten thousand-clear profit-a year.
How foolish men are who go fretting
And shaving for more than they need;
Who wrong their own kindred forgetting
That vice is the kernel of greed:
How cheated they are who still borrow
The troubles that wise men ignore
Who smart under ills that tomorrow
May scatter where ills are no more,
AS for me. would blfssfuify shout.
The welkin should ring with my cheer,
II In some way could find out
How to save up ten thousand a year.
