parent TO all patriotic men that gen
eral intelligence among the masses Of
the people was essential to the helpful

the early history OF the country was

HER DINING ROOM FURNITURE
How the kind-Hearted and Gifted
Rosa Bonheur Helped a
Young Wife.

"We are not brothers for nothing"
Rosa Bonheur once wrote in testing
affection to her brother Isidore; and
In truth the wonderful, quaint, boyish
little woman. with her bright eyes,
cropped curls and breezy ways, was
almost more a brotherly chum than a
sister to the 'Dodore" whom she so
dearly loved. Much of the time on
her country estate, in her studio and
among her animals, wild and tame,
she wore the masculine costume
which her manner Of life required, to
wear which she had-with one other
woman, a famous explorer and archie.
ologist-received express permission
from the French government. Yet
this very mannish little person was
far from unwomanly in her sympa-
thies; and her latest biography re-
cords a pretty incident related by her
friend, Joseph Verdier, the landscape
painter.
"One evening she was dining with
me and some friends. Among the
friends was a young lady recently mar.

ing room; for this last her husband
could not yet give her the money, and
she was compelled to hold her little re
ceptions in her sleeping room.
"After dinner Rosa asked me for a
large sheet Of drawing paper, and
while we were talking she sketched
a delightful hunting scene, which she
signed with her full name. Then, un'
der cover Of a general conversation on
music, while tea was being served, she
approached the young wife, and sale
to her:
""Take this picture to Tedesco or
your return to Paris and he will give
you at least 1900 francs for it. .
Then you will be able to furnish your
dining room.'"-Youth's Companion.

A New York woman of great beauty
called n day upon a friend, bringing
with her her ~11-year-old daughter, who
gives promise of becoming as great a
beauty as her mother.
It CHANGED that the callers were
shown into a room where the friends
had been receiving a milliner, and
there were several beautiful hats ly
Ing about. During the conversation
the little girl amused herself by ex.
aiming the milliner's creations. OF
the number that she tried or she
seemed particularly pleased with a
large black affair which set off her
light hair charmingly. Turning to her
mother, the little girl said:
