A PRETTY ROMANCE. A Gifted Sun Francisco Young Woman Artist Hud un Interesting Sturt. People who noticed in The Examiner window a splendid cast of the head of Sitting Ball will lio interested to hear the pretty romance of the young artist whose work it was. It was modeled by Miss Alice Ride- ont, a young lady of leas than 18 years of age, who has already shown such tal ent that she bids fair to take front rank among the host of artists that the Pacific slope can claim os its own. Her first start in her chosen profession can he directly traced to a large English mastiff owned by her family, although her artistic aspirations date back to her early childhood. One day, while accom. panied by the mastiff, she passed the open door of a sculptor's studio. The animal rushed in and, with npparent de liberation, knocked over tho pedestal upon which was placed for exhibition the artist's latest work. An arm and leg were shattered, and the piece lay a seeming wreck on tho floor. Tho at tendant was wild. Tho girl endeavored to make excuses for the dog, but nothing would answer. Offers were made to pay for the damage, but to no avail. The man, dreading that upon tho artist’s return he wonld lose his position, was inconsolable. The girl begged to bo allowed to repair the piece, and after repeated entreaties the man consented, with the remark that while he did not believe it conld be fixed, he was very certain she conld not injure it. He mixed the clay for her, and watched with interest the unpracticed fingers doing the work that the accomplished artist hail so lately finished anil taken so orach pride in. An hour passed with most gratifying results; the arm was re stored and was perfect; the attendant was happy. Another hoar tho leg approached com pletion, when lo, the artist apjieared on the scene, lie took in the situation at a glance, and unnoticed by the occupants of the room watched the work. Fin ished, explanations aro in order and given. The artist is charmed, declares the work of restoration has added new charms to the piece, and having heard from the girl the great ambition of her life, went with her to her homo and in sisted that her parents should allow her an opportunity to learn the art for which she evidently had so mnch inherent tal ent.—San Francisco Examiner. Drslnsgs. How few people realize the results oi extensive drainage, such as a highly civ ilized country presents. No inconsider able changes are wrought by artificial drainage. Much of surface water, in stead of being left to form marshes, sat urate the soil or be taken up by evapora tion, is carried away underground through drain pipes. Consequently the air is not so moist as formerly, and ths ■oil, instead of being constantly chilled by evaporation, is rendered worm and genial.

The gamo of cards was first played in the east, and seems to have hod a mili tary origin. Cards were introduced from Asia into Enrojw at the time of the Crnsades, and were first used by necro mancers to foretell fortunes. They soon became a i»opular amusement in the south of Europe, where the Saracens and Moors taught the people how to use them, and card playing spread to all parts of the continent. Tho state records of Germany mention the fact that Ru dolph I, in 127ft, was fond of the game and played with his courtiers. After the invention of paper the manu facture of cards became extensive, but declined somewhat when card playing was forbidden by several of the German states and by tho English government on ucconut of the supposed immoral tendency. Before the era of paper, cards in the Orient were made of ivory, papy rus and canvas, less frequently of the precious metals, and quite commonly of wood.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat. Cureful.

Girls of 12 to 13 years comb their hair back from the forehead, and braid it to hang its length or tied in a low loop. Their gowns are made with waists of Speaker Cobb. This time it will be Speaker Crisp. “The pecplo of all Georgia, and almost all the south ire for Crisp for speaker,’’ said Hon. Carter Tate, of Ficklns, at the Kimball last evening; “and if It bo true, has as boon stated, that there aro two or three Georgia congressmen attempting to knife him, they will find themselves cut into mince meat, politicially, when tho next elec tion comes. Tho young men of Georgia should see to lt that none of this knifing business, claimed by outside papers, goes on. 1 would gladly be ono of 100 young men to go on to Washing ton noxt fall to whoop up for Crisp, Of course,that would not be expected to influence tho votes of congressmen, but it would show that Ills own state is solidly, unanimously for him, outside organs of other candidates to the con trary notwithstanding.” Judge Crisp doesn't talk much about the outlook, but lie says he thinks his chances good.—Atlanta cor.
