Clara applied for a place in tin: extra ballet. She. wore an old. faded caheo (ires-, much too short for ii or long legs, a thin hawl. and a ragged woolen scarf wrapped around her head.

Clara Morris, who, by the way, is of English, not American birth. Pretty Maud Granger, with the gold-brown eyes aud shapely form, first earned her livelihood bv running a sewing-machine. Sarah Bernhardt was a dressmaker's apprentice; so was Matilda Heron.

Adelaide Neilson began life as a child's nurse, and Lady Hamilton as a housemaid. Miss Brandon, the well-known novelist, was a utility actress in the English provinces, performing principally in pantomime. Christine Nilsson was a poor Swedish peasant, and ran barefoot in childhood. Jenny Lind, also a Swede, was the daughter of a principal of a young ladies' boarding school, and beyond rather narrow circumstances had no especial difficulties in order to gain celebrity. The mother of Clara Louise Kellogg strained every nerve to give Clara a musical education, and at one time was a professional spiritual medium.

Miss Kellogg failed three times. Each time she retired, not discouraged, but to devote herself to the still further development of her voice. Finally she took the public by storm. Her lirst failures were her last Mrs. Langtry is the daughter of a country parson of small means, but the old proverb of her face being her fortune proved true in tier case.

Nevertheless, the standing Mrs. Langtry has acquired upon the boards entitles her to rank among the self-made women of the day. Minnie. Hauk's father was a German and a shoemaker, in the most straitened circumstances. Her voice early attracted tho attention of one of New York's richest men, who had it cultivated, and thus opened the way to famo for her.

We have had two great female astronomers, Miss Herschel and Miss Mitchell. Both were single women and both took up the study of astronomy in order to assist their brothers. Mis3 Herschel's pathway to famo was over a smooth road, but Miss Maria Mitchell had everything to battle with. She was the daughter of a small farmer in Nantucket, who was obliged to eke out his income by teaching school at 2 a week. Maria was constantly occupied with household duties, and she describes her childhood as "being an endless washing of dishes." VXSAS IY, MO.

Steward, A Main street jeweler says that Ik finds th-3 women a hard lot to deal with in some respects, while in others they are very desirable customers. "if a man buys a 'SIO watch and finds that it gets two or three minutes out of the way in course of time he comes back and wants to dynamite the store. A woman buys a watch for its looks and if it is live or ten minutes out of the way she doesn't care. She would prefer not to have, it fetop altogether, though. Now and then a school-ma'am comes in here and shows quite a masculine desire to have a good time-keeper, but she is an exception.

Then it is hard for a woman to make up her mind about a purchase anyway. 1 sold a fine gold watch to a woman a few days ago," continued the merchant, "after she had been in certainly ten times to look over my stock. Since she started out on her search she had been to every store in the city. 1 know she had. She was accompanied on her last visit by a male friend, who advised for my watch.

She kept me ail through my supper hour, but of course she didn't think of that and I was satisfied. Sometimes we have to resort to little tricks of trade. Two women came in here the other day and said they had an hour in which to buy a clock for their pastor. I showed them a beautiful French clock worth $75. The price was about right, but they couldn't be satisfiod so easily, and were for starting out on a tour of inspection.

I took the clock to 'pieces, showed them the works, explained, the mechanism, and got them so interested that they forgot how the time was flying; the hour went by, they did not have time to look further, anil were well satistied to buy the clock. The secret of successful selling is always to be courteous and interested in your customers. In no business is this so important as in ours, in which sales have to be carefully cultivated from the feeble nibble to the final bite. Here comes a man now that I have been trving to sell diamonds to for a month." The door burst open, the jeweler left his cozy quarters to meet the visitor, entered into a pleasant chat with the would-be buyer, got out the familiar casket and displayed its contents to the bust advantage. Then he leaned carelessly over the showcase, whistled softly, and fiazed out at the people on the street, hit the visitor's part was not played so nicely.

Ho turned over th i jewels nervously, put them on his lingers, took them off, looked at them in every light, twisted his handkerchief in them. Then, as if with sudden determination, he held up a ring, asked the price, criticised the fit, haggled over the price a little, and said he would take it. The purchase was quickly made, and the jeweier came back with a smile of triumph, "lie paid $5 more for that diamond than I would have given it to him for a week ago," he said. "It almost amounts to a superstition with me, but. I make special efforts to sell, and at good prices, on rainy days.

Some days we sell -i'10 worth of goods and some days 500. Rainy days, and some others, are set down as bad ones for trade. So I exort myself to bring up the sales if possible on the off (lays. We hang out for a fair price if we can get it, we take a low price if we must, but sell we will. One sees a good deal of human nature, for few things touch a man's innermost self so closely as his pocketbook; and few things touch his pocket-book like a jeweler's line of I i A A I SHOEING A SPECIALTY.

Brownt.ee, Register. SHOL'LX REAR OF LAKE "SO LA KE CITY, A NBAS, The Congressional "ncund Up." The -'round up'' is msultf for tie country n-1 democratic policies than were tin tioipatf Ly the most sanguine a month When Morrison "a revenue bill v.as defeated in the hoiue of representative by a combination of republican democratic votes, the political tkies looked dark indeed. The democratic secretary of the treasury had stubbornly resisted the policy of his party on silver coinage; had grudgingly reduced the accumulations of the revenue by payments on the debt, and it Hcmed that the policy of the republican and riot the. policy of the democratic party was about to prevail in the ulminitratif of the national finances. No one saw and realized the coming "round up" or if ilrrison and Deck -nd their stalwart co-workers anticipated it they kept expectations to themselves, and cuiinly waited for the opportunity.

L.ike the skillful engineer whobrings the very testacies which he has to overcame under contribution to his purposes, the skillful democratic leaders of the house and senate have used the principles of their republican antagonists to finally overthrow them. Morrison was represented as thoroughly complacent when his revenue bill readjusting and reducing the protective tariff was defeated. To all appearances lie was as little disturbed as were the triumphant opponents of the, measure. lie waited patiently and went ploddingly along at the other business of the house until Randall's measure purporting to reduce the tariff but intended to reduce the tax on whisky and tobacco, and by cutting down the internal revenue to make necessary the higher tariff taxation, came before thehouse. Promptly he seized the political serpent and unmercifully wrenched its head from its body.

The republican and Randall coalition had refused to reduced the tariff and thus reduce the treasury surplus. Morrison seemingly squelched 1 heir attempt to reduce it by the reduction of the internal revenue. Then came his opportunity again and ihe famous house resolution, directing the secretary of the treasury to pay the public debt with the. accumulating Mirplus revenue, was introduced and passed, to the terror of the bondholder, the confusion of the Wall stieet treasury syndicates and -the delight of the advocates of the silver dollar. Close on the resolution which determined Mr.

Manning's policy for him came the proposition to issue the one, two and certificates and tins the senior democratic senator from Kentucky took the management and championship with the prospects bright for its success in the senate, and of course for triumph in the house of representatives. Even stalwart republican senators were compelled to accept the measure for the extension of the circulation of the silver certificates. They saw that the payment of the debt would lake up the bonds on which the national bankers depended for their circulation and reduce the volume of the national bank currency. They knew tl.a.theccuntry could not stand the. contraction of the currency and they elded to silver upon compulsion.

The eastern capitalists, alarmed at the prevailing gorge the inorev channels resulting from the opposition f-o revenue .1 and the consequent payment of the public debt, are left to curse their folloy and to find relief from their predicament. Unwillingly their eyes turn to the south and ihe west for profitable investments, and thus indirectly thn "round up'" Khows more fayerably for those sections than their most sanguine friends could have anticipated a month ago.

"I've been there. Propound your conundrums. 'Is it easy-getting Why. as easy as it is to fjt from here to Coney Island. Ice? Yes, you meet some, and so you do when 3011 ro to England, but the- fast steamers rani right alcad nil the same.

I went up in July, and navigation was easy enough then, though I only touched at the settlements on the west coast. ButT have been quite well up. I was within sixty miles of where they found Greeley, ami I shouldn't bnve uny hesitation in going there again, if 1 had another, or two other, standi vessels with uie. That's way to carry on arctic exporations. Let a little fleet go up.

and not send a little 400-ton ship there ali by herself. Th-it's the way the rescue party worked up through Smith's Sound. "After you get that far you might as well turn around and corao home again, unless you are anxious to beat Greeley's record, for at that point you bring up against ice that's simply impenetrable. It may be 100 feet thick, and your vessel may be nipped for tho entire Winter. Whalers nre often frozen in.

But if yon went in Summer, and didn't try to go up the fancy latitudes, 1 think you would enjoy Greenland a few weeks of it. 'Ihe scenery i3 tine; grand, sometimes. There are great el ill's and steep mountains along the shore, often too nc.vrly erpendieular jv snow to lie on, even in Winter, and the colors that they on in the light of the midnight sun a kind of continual sunset are something wonderful. Most people imagine (and I used to think the same) that Greenland is buried under snow and. ice the whole year round.

Wait until I open this portfolio. There, do you see those dried mosses and flower? They would hardly grow in snow, would they? Well. I picked those in Greenland, and not in the most southern part either. Berries grow there, and dwarf willows. In Summer for a distance of two to twenty miles back from the sea there are valleys opening in'o the mountains that are beautiful, they are so full of green moss.

Mosquitoes I've seen there in clouds. No. the temperature isn't torrid, but dressed as those people are, and living in tightly built houses or closely she at lied vessels, they don't suffer any more from cold than we do down here in Winter. The weather is often disagreeable in Southern Greenland, particularly in Spring and Fall, on account of rain and fogs, and in Winter everything is snowed up. but the Summer suits mo a blamed sight better than some of the New York Summers.

Fancy in August when the thermometer didn go beyond 55 or GO degrees. How does that strike you? The idea that Greenland was covered with ice and snow comes, 1 suppose, from the fact that the interior has never been explored, and that it seems to be, in fact, I've no doubt it is, covered by a tremendous glacier starting near the pole, and giving oil" little side branches that came down through the fjords of canyons opening from the sea. These branch glaciers supply tho iee-; c-gs. The ice current pushes out until it reaches water deep enough to float it. and theu it- breaks off in mountainous chunks, and goes south with tho current.

On of the crawliest feelings I ever had was when 1 climbed a goodish sort of a hill near Godlhaab to take the bearings of things. There was open water on the west, and little valleys that looked pretty enough to camp out iu. and there was the settlement with its church, brick church, mind you. they can put on style. Then when you turned tho other way there was a long line of snowy heights, bleak and desolate, that seemed to lead away and away till you couldn't stand it to think of the horrible chill and loneliness.

There was a long white line that might have been fifty miles off, and that was the horizon, nothing but ice. It made me feel homesick for a while. The interior mountains don't make much of an exhibition, though if the glacier was to be lifted off I suppose they would show up for quite respectable hills. Some of the cliffs along the coast must be 1,000 feet high, and on the east side I believe there's a peak that's put down at 11,000 feet As to living, they all seem to have- enough up there, such as it is. The Esquimaux eat fish and most am kind of meat they can got.

aud the Danish settlers live on much the same sort cf grub. A government steamer goes from Denmark twice a year with letters, cheese, flour, potatoes, beef, wood and bad butter. There are no cows or horses. Stop! I did see a cow, I think it was at Godthaab, that's the biggest settlement; nearly 1,000 peopla The critter had been sent from Denmark to the parson there, and was picking up a living cn buaeh grass and barrel hoops. Not a great deal of money changes hands in Greenland.

A man can live on what he can catch, and stuff isn't awfully dear up there. The Danish Governors are pretty square follows not much like our Indian agents and they don't dare to charge more than the rates fixed by the schedule. You can hardly say that there are any industries in Greenland. There's a cryolite mine; that's about all. A few coal mines are worked just enough to supply the settlements, but not to export anything.

Of course there's whaling and sealing and fishing, but not much hunting, for the land animals have nearly boon killed olf. Perhaps there's a field for the enterprising agriculturist who will go up there and raise thing under glass. A man in Frederickshaab told Yno fie had eaten native strawberries, and I have seen lettuce and radishes growing under cover and doing pretty well. 1 had a quantity of canned stuff with me, or I couldn't have stood it. Seems to me a man would not only got scurvy but get off his base entirely from eating grease Hnd fish and salt horse continually.

The people? They're mostly Esquimaux and half-breeds, with a seasoning of Danes. Well, now, if you imagine that tho Esquimaux are howliag savages, that is where you are as the commoners "ay. Then are the mildest and politest people tii at 1 ever met, and I wish I couid say as much for some highly civilized people nearer home. They're a good deal like the Chinese, and I think they came from the same Tartar stock. They have no whisky, the wives are usually faithful to their husbands they never fight, they seldom steal, and in the last fifteen or twenty years I don't believe there has been a murder among theiu.

The invention of the modern form of the piano dates back to about 1700. The spinet, of rectangular shape, which we manage to call was called a virginal. It is frequently stated that it was douo to compliment Queen Elizabeth, but this cannot be true, as it is found mentioned among the musical instruments of King Henry VIU. It is more likely that it was so named because it was intended to be played by young ladies. It was essentially a lady's instrument, for it is said that at a concert in Oxford, England, the public performance of the first male pianist was rewarded bv a storm of hisses.

Rang on Medicine river, near Laki. Ci'-v, Kan. Post Oilicc Lake City, Jiueber Co. Kansas. WW8! Representative Frank Lawlcr, of Chicago, takes more queer constituents to see the president than any other member of congress.

The president has come to appreciate this fact. A' few days ago Mr. Lawler took up to the white house ex-Alderman Patrick Sanders, of Chicago, who has made a fortune shaving notes at cent per cent. Sanders, who is very conceited, said to Lawler just, as they were going into the white house: "Tell him that I'm a millionaire." So, when Lawler presented him, he said: "Mr. President, let me present ex-Alderman Sanders, of Chicago, one of our millionaires." It did not take man' minutes1 conversation to show the president just what sort of a man the ex-alderman was.

"Mr. Sanders," said the president, somewhat suddenly, while his eyes twinkled, "do you ever loan money?" "Oh, yes, Mr. President," responded Sanders, adding cautiously, "on good security." "Well," said the president, in a jocular way, "I have just begun housekeeping, and it is possible that I may want to borrow some money. I haven't much property for security. There's my country place, which is worth and I have some property in Buffalo that mav be worth 315,000 more say $40,000 in all.

Now, if I should want to borrow 8100,000, do you think j'ou could loan it?" Sanders took it quite seriously, and began to perspire with conflicting emotion. "Well, sir," he said, after some hesitation, "I'd like to accommodate you, but $60,000 is a big discrepancy." "Then," said Lawler, who tells the story, "he suddenly caught my arm and says, 'Frank, let's aud he didn't breathe free again until he was out of doors. A Carbonic Acid Well. Tho Guerrero (Mex.) l'criodlco Official prints tho following report of the discovery of a nueer phenomenon on the property of Senor Felex Villamer. In quest of drinking-water, a well had been dug to the depth of seven meters, when work was suspended over Sunday.

On the Monday morning. May 10, the peon who uncovered the well descended to begin his work, and when a short distance down he experienced a sensation of discomfort, which increased as he nearcd the bottom. Thinking himself dying, he shouted for help, clinging to a ropo which hung in the well, but unable, so weakened was he, to make the effort to climb out by its aid. By the time assistance was at hand the peon was purple in the face and ejecting blocdy foam, so that his mates halted at the curb, not daring to confront the invisible, unknown peril that produced such frightful effects. At last one nerved himself to descend to the rescue, and barely succeeded in fastening a rope to the almost lifeless body, when he, too, became asphyxiated, and the two were drawn out more dead than alive, but were revived.

The owner of the premises summoned friends, who applied tcts. which proved conclusively that a fountain or reservoir of carbonic acid gas had been tanped; can-dins were extinguished when lowered iuto the well, and the usual phenomena responded to other tests. Within six hours the jt of gas had spread for thirty feet around the well, uud it is feared that if the discharge continue the immediate premises, if not a greater area, will be rendered uninhabitable by tho curious hud.
