Birds of a Feather.
Frederick Levesou-Gowor in his
rernlniscenfces relates that \Vhen he
visited Moscow in 1850 for the corona
tion of Alexander II. “opposite our
house during the procession was
drawn up n reglmeut called Paulovski,
formed by the Emperor Paul, all the
men having turned up noses and
therefore resembling him. It seems
it was the fashion to compose regi
ments of men all having the same fea
tures. The late emperor had recruits
sent to him and told them off accord
ing to their looks. There is one regi
ment of men all marked with the
smallpox."

The Venus of Milo refused to tell
how she lost her arms.
“If I should soy I broke them off
while trying to button my dress up the
back,” she said, “you’d ask me what
has become of the dress.”
Relapsing into stony silence, she paid
no further attention to the question

Told Her She Would Return to
Him, and She Did.
She entered the room hastily.
He was awaiting her.
“I was afraid you would be thinking
I hud forgotten,” she said.
“No," he responded calmly, in the
tone of one who is master of himself.
“Au engagement is an engagement
with me.”
She was a beautiful girl. A wealth
of chestnut hair rippled below the
wide brim of her bonnet. Her close
fitting tailored gown yielded to every
movement of her supple form.
He was a bit above the average
height, 4 a clean cut, square chinned
chap, whose every expression bespoke
self reliance. As he looked at her his
glance was deferential, yet not > timid.
“It has been a long while since we
saw each other,” he remarked.
“Yes, nearly a year,” she replied,
“But do you remember when I left
that time you said I would have to
come buck?”
“Yes. You should have come sooner
than this.”
“But I have been so busy—going and
coming, dances, dinners, the theater
and all."
“I know. And you were married
too?
His voice did not tremble as lie ask
ed this, yet across her face there Hash*
ed a quick tinge of humiliation
“I—1 would rather not speak of
that,” she observed, almost coldly.
“That Is all over. We—we— It was
to be expected. The truth Is we were
not meant: for. each other. So I—I got
a divorce.”
“It was better so, no doubt,” he re
sponded gently. “Won’t you sit down?”
She took the chair he indicated, and
as ho looked down at her she flashed
him a sudderi smile,
“I was nfraid of you the? last time,"
she said merrily.
“But you are not afraid now?"
His voice seemed to give her assur
ance. She smiled again.
“No, Indeed!"
He put his fingers beneath her dim
pled chin and tilted her bonny head
hack, tlieu gazed at her earnestly.
Her limpid eyes looked up at’ him
trustlugly. The rose pink of her
cheeks came and went fitfully. The
white of her throat throbbed with
each breath. He bent nearer to her,
still with that fixed gaze. Her lips
were pnrted.
He raised his head, and she looked
out of the window silently.
There was a pause. At last she
spoke.

STAGE REALISM.
Clara Morris’ Study of a Victim of
Heart Disease.
No actress ever surpassed Clara Mor
ris in tlie care with which she studied
for a part. When she was studying
the part of Cora in “Article 4.7” she
visited an insane asylum in order to
learn the signs of Insanity. Cora was
not only insane, but she wns disfig
ured by a hideous scar as w#ll. Miss
Morris spent weeks in trying to se
cure a correct representation, and one
day she saw in a street car a woman
wlio had exactly that kind of disfigure
ment. She studied it and reproduced
it, but her kindness of heart shrank
from reproducing it in such fashion
thnt the sufferer might recognize it if I
she ever saw the play. So she work
ed over it until she made enough al
terations to feel certniiL that no one,
not even the owner or the original
scar, could ever suspect the Imitation.
‘When she was studying the of
Miss Moulton, who was to die wf heart
disease, she visited a specialist who
hod a number of patients suffering
from that trouble. He showed her
one of his patients and then, to her
surprise and horror, ran the sufferer
up. a flight of stairs that Miss Morris
might see the symptoms as produced
after an excitement of the heart. Miss
Morris was filled with pain and pity.
She made the poor patient a present
of a bank bill as she was leaving.
The woman accepted it and then ns
she was stuffing it into her glove
caught sight of the figure on the note.
The size was so large that it brought
on- a recurrence of all the symptoms—
the starting eyes, the gasping breath,
the widening nostrils. This time tho
benrt excitement was caused by Joy,
not pain, but Miss Morris was so over
come with horror and sympathy that
she hurriedly left the house.—Ladles’
Homo Journal.
debut in his new hirsute adornment:
“One morning Mr. Rockefeller came
to church hi a wig for the first time.
As he arrived some time before the
services very few were present. Dr.
Eaton, the pastor of the church, laugh
ingly said, ‘Mr. Rockefeller, we love
you with or without it.’ I went with
him into the Sunday school, and we
passed a reporter, who did not recog
nize him. I told Mr. Rockefeller of
this, and he said, ‘You surprise me;’
He Jntpiired if there wns a mirror in
the church, and I took him into Dr.
Eaton’s office. He stood in front of
the glass, and, finally getting It ad
justed, he asked me if it looked all
right. I asked him if it was comfort
able. I really did think the wig made
a great Improvement In his appear
ance. He said that it was going to be
quite an ordeal to enter the church for
the service. I said, ‘Mr. Rockefeller,
you have gone through worse.’ Ho
shrugged his shoulders, and we passed
into the church together. If ills pres
ence on previous occasions never fail
ed to attract attention the stir that
followed his entrance on this particu
lar morning must be left to the imagi
nation. After the service, when the
‘ordeal’ was over, be seemed as tic
kled with ills wig as a boy with a new
pair of red topped boots.”
