Not 4 Fatal AGE.

It was written at the death Of Elisa
Rachel, the great French actress,
which happened January 4, 1858, that
she was thirty-eight years old, that
age which appears so fatal to genius,
when an overworked nervous system
comes naturally to . Close" This 10
not the fact even in regard to "emo-
tional"' actresses, OF which Rachel was
one OF the greatest In all the history
Of the stage. Adelaide Ristori, who
toured America and gave many fare
wells" died at the age Of eighty-four.
Our own Clara Morris, who played
many Of the characters portrayed BY
Rachel, Is living ut sixty-nve, though
she suffered q nervous breakdown sew
eral years ago. Sara Bernhardt, also.
eminent in parts presented by Rachel,
is sixty-nine and still acting. Mrs.
Drew died at seventy-seven. and only
a few years before her death played
parts In which dancing had to be done.
Mrs. Gilbert was playing "old woman"
parts when she was past seventy, and
lived to be eighty-three; and the list
might be greatly extended. Probably
nobody will remember seeing Rachel
In America, but she made, tour OF
this country in 1856, and 1t was at
the ending Of this that she broke
down. ,5 8:: s.ta}s}e ~ i5 s 4. !.

Lincoln an Inventor.

y Among the inventions on. file at the
patent, Office in Washington is one by
Abraham Lincoln. designed to enable
freight-laden datboats to work their
way over the sand bars Of the Missis-
sippi river, Lincoln conceived the idea
when, as young man. he was him
self a boatman on the Mississippi, and
met the obstacles that his invention
was meant to overcome. 4, sr. Z
The invention consists of one or
more huge bellows attached to each
side Of the boat. When the boat
sticks on q shoal. the bellows are to
be inflated by means Of q windlass
connected with upright poles attached
to the bellows. The idea is that tho
air In the bellows increases the buoy
ancy Of the craft. and makes it draw
less water.
