from Her, but Get. None.
Bernhardt’s- slender proportions—
“maigre,” as she loves to call them—’-
have been part of her stock in trade for
many years. Her 'sisters of the stage,
‘who, with equal' euphemism, describe
their superabundant curves as “emban-
poin ,” have ridiculed her slimness,
while those more like her in figure have
wondered how she kept from becoming
positively bony. A reporter " recently
asked her: '
“How do you maintain‘your graceful .
slender proportions? How do you avoid
growing too thin, Mme. Bernhardt?”
"‘I have no fear of growing too thin,”
replied Bernhardt, promptly. “My life
is too regular for my figure to change.
The reason of" my slenderness is work.
Every day I work so much. My habits
are uniform.” ’ '
“Do you diet?”
“Indeed, I do not.” answered the lady
with emphasis. “I eat anything and
everything I desire, I eat when I please
and have no food fads. Fruit I am fond
of. Wine I never touch.”

“If you found your weight decreas-
ing would you resort to exercise to re
store it?”
“Nevaire. I do not like exercise. 1
take none. Walking. is not good for
me. I would have no time for any-
thing else. Gymnastics are bad. Golf
is an abomination. Rehearsals and
the play are my only, tonics.”
“Do you consider that bicycle-riding
has anything to do with your perfec‘.
physical condition?”
“I consider that only work does any-
thing for me. It does everything. ]
attribute all my success in any role to
work, to indefatigable effort.
“I like to be thin. It is admirable.
I never trouble abOut growing thinner.
I always remain the same without pre-
caution. I ride a bicycle only because
it is agreeable.”
“Can you suggest any means by
which one may reduce flesh?”
“I cannot. I leave everything to na-
ture. I do not believe that she can be
improved upon, whatever one’s con-
dition."

cret for which fat women would give
AMERICAN WOMEN.
Described by Mr. Hall Caine, with Some
Comparisons.
Mr. Hall Caine says of his stay in the
United States: “Many of my impres-
sions of America, by the way, toppled
down like a child’s house of cards when
I found myself actually in the country
and among the people. A delightful
nation to study is America—fresh and
frank and full of originality. Of course
we all know and have always known
for the last half century. at least, that
Americans are clever, but we can’t real-
ize until we go among them and see
them in their homes how kindiy, how
young of heart, they are as individ-
uals.” ,
Of American women in general he
deems “it is only natural they should
become what they are—superior, intel-
lectually, or, at any rate, superficially
so, to the men. That is, of course, as a
class. There are always so many ex-
ceptions to every rule. But the thing
has come about as h a consequence of
man’s putting woman—American man,
American woman—on a pedestal and
worshiping her. He has stayed below
the pedestal and worked for her, not
having time, if he was the ordinary
man of business, to cultivate his mind
and manner while he so worked. But
she has had plenty of time, and she has
made the best use of it. In our own
country I consider that the reverse is
true. The average Englishman is su-
perior to the average Englishwoman in
intelligence and education. That is be-
cause he is likely to think of himself,
tind of his sons, before he thinks of his
wife and daughters. And English-
women have conscientiously upheld
him in his attitude toward them, until
comparatively lately, at any rate. In
America, on the contrary, I fancy that
women have known .theirrown value, .
and set it rather high, for a number 01'
years—a ‘ couple of generations, at
least.”
In personal appearance Mr._ Caine
finds our women “prettier, more attrac-
Live, more bewitching than ' English
women, but not so regularly beautiful.
The straight, almost Greek nose. and
the ineffably lovely and haughty upper
lip of the most perfect type of English
girl I have not seen equaled in Amer-
ica, I must say.”——Providence Journal.
A Woman Janitor.
Miss Ella Wilcox is the highly efli-

of the United Brethren in Marcellus,
Mich. She has full care of the church,
keeps it in Order, rings the bell ou'Sun-
days and attends'to, all the other duties
of sexton “in every way better than any
male janitor ever has,” the churchgoers
say. She is good-looking, as well as
accomplished; doubtless another point
of superiority over the male janitor. ' l

...éfiE-gpfi'ssfo' A KING. ‘ .
The King” of Wurtenburg’s Experience
‘ ‘ " With Mme. Duse. ' .
Mr. Schurman, manager of Mme.
Elonore Duse, tells the story of how the
actress snubbed a King. Schurman was
once the manager of Sarah Bernhardt,
and. he was trained in a. good school.
When Duse was playing in» Stuttgart, _
lastwinter, William IL. King of war-
temburg, was one of the enthusiastic
spectators in‘tho audience. Theplay
was “Magda,” and after the third act
the King sent for Mme. Duse’s impre
sario.
“You will tell Mm. Duse,” -he said,
"that I am profoundly impressed with
performance, and that I shall give my-
self the pleasure of visiting her in her
dressing room immediately.”
When the King had finished the suaze
Schurman, who has a French manner
and a Prussian beard and hair cut, hur-
ried from the royal box back to Duse’s
dressing room. He nervously conveyed
through the keyhole the King’s compli-
ments and the additional news that the
King was going to visit the actress. The
first part of the message elicted no an-
swer from the actreSs. But the second
did. - .
“You tell his Majesty,” she said to her
manager, opening the door of her dress-
ing room and appearing fully dressed,
“that I am grateful for his compliment
and flattered by his attention. But tell
him I feel just as much honored by
hearing it from you. Tell him I can-
not see him because I am dressing my-
self.” '
Then the King was heard approach-
ing. Before the manager had finished
whispering the fact to Duse the door of
her dressing 100m was closed. The im-
portant fact that the King was waiting
was communicated through the key-
hole. The answer came back from
Duse that she was dressing and could
see nobody.
p “Then I’ll wait,” answered the Sn-
bian ruler, blandly. ‘ '
“If you do, you’ll have to wait out-
side as long as I stay inside, your Ma-
jesty.” was Duse’s answer, as her man-
ager reports it.
The King waited, but the actress did
not appear. He waited for half an hour
but there was no sign of Mme. Duse. A
lmock at the door brought only the an-
swer that the actress was still dressing
The audience began to grow impatient
for the curtain to rise. The King began
to believe that after all the actress was
not coming out to see him; ‘
Some recent Kings of Wurtemberg
have not tended to make the royalty
rank high in the minds of the people.
Probably to lose Duse. in the last act of
the play might have added no new es-
teem to the rank in which-royalty is
held. So the King gave up the efiort to
make the actress’s acquaintance, and
by the time he was in his seat the cur-
tain was up and the play continued.
WHAT COLLEGE LIFE DOES.
A College President Explains the Helps
of a'Univenity Course.
Whatever may be in store for the
American college as the predecessor
of the American university, it can never
cease to be an agency for the training
of a man in the great business of good
living, thinks President C. F. Thuring,
and he says so in Forum.
It enriches his . life; it deepens and
broadens his view of truth; it enobles
his aims; it strengthens his choice of the
right ;it clarifies his vision of, and his
love of, the beautiful. The college
pours oil into the lamp of character and
makes its light more— radiant and more
lasting. _
When these functions are lost, if they
ever .be lost, they must' be assumed by
some other power. For, so long as the
race continues, so long are its members
to be trained to think, to judge, to rea-
son, to act with independence and jus-
tice, to work laboriously. and to be
large and true and noble‘men. These
qualities represent the best thing which
a college can do for its students.
Bernhardt’s Curious Charity.
The following story of Sarah Bern-
hardt’s kindness is only one of many
that could be told by those who know
something of her daily life.
A poor old Frenchwoman, who lived
by mending lace, called on the great
actress one morning to return an ‘ex-
quisite flounce that had needed some re~
pairs. The poor woman had a nervous,
worried look, and by dint of question
ing Bernhardt learned that she was out
of work and that her rent would be due
in/a few days. -
Without a moment’s hesitation Mme.
Sarah took the delicate lace and tore it
in a number of pieces. She then handed
it to the women.
“There,” she said, “is work enoughto
pay not only this quarter’s rent,
but the next as well.” ' ..
Nye’s Favorite Story.
Bill Nye’s pet story was the one as to
how he was charged $4 for a sandwich
in a village in New Jersey. He told
the man who sold it that it was a high
price to pay for a sandwich, and said
that he had frequently taken a ten-
course dinner, with four kinds of wine
for just making a speech, and finally
asked the man why he charged $4 for a
ham sandwich.
"Well, I’ll tell you,” said the Sand-
wich man, “the fact is, by gad, I need
the money.”—Detroit Free Press.
Churning in the Stomach.
While the. process of digestion is go-
ing enthemuscles ofthe stomach keep
up a constant churningmotion, forcing
the food back and forth, 7 and allowing
the gastric juices to. penetrate, every
portion. rThis churning is continued _.
until all the food is digested. ,

Opening Session at Southampton—Imporé
taut Resolutions Pendinga'a; -«
Sodmsnrrcn, g, Sept. 16..—-"A special
meeting of the Association of Chambers of
Commerce otithe United Kingdom Opened
at Hartley hall here today with Sir H.
Stafiord Northcote, M. P., president, in
the chair. The president in his opening
address said that he hoped the visit of Li
Hung Chang to England would result in
benefits to British trade and commerce.
The programme of the meeting, which
will last two. days, contains 20 resolutions
introduced by the diflerent chambers of
commerce of. the United Kingdom, some
of which touch upon American and Ca-v
nadlan interests
don chamber proposes that the congress
shall declare that the “time has now ar-
rived whdn her majesty’s government may
properly consider the desirability of ap-
pointing competent oflicers to the ‘mOre
important colonies for the purpose of re-
porting on their agricultural, commercial,
mineral and industrial development, such
officers to be paid ’out ofimperlal funds.”
The executive council of the association
will offer this resolution: “That a memo-
rial be presented to the secretary of state
for the colonies, urging his-attention to
the slow progress made in carrying out the
request of the Ottawa convention for cable
communication betWeeu the colonies and
the mother country and as to the subsidiz-
ing a line of fast steamers between Eng-
land aud Canada.”
The Bradford chamber wants to intro-
duce theAmerican “C. O. D.” system in-
to theBritish parcels post, and the Wolver-
hampton chamber complains that freight
rates between the United Kingdom and
South Africa are higher than they are be-
tween South Africa and the United States
by the same steamers, and Wolverhampton
demands that the United Kingdom shall
be put on the same level as the United
States. An attempt will also be made to
draw public opinion to the necessity of
improving and exploiting the canals of the
United Kingdom.
The south of Scotland chamber will sug-
gest that “a commercial union between
the colonies and the mother country would
tend to promote the permanence and pros-
perity of the British empire” and urge
government furtherance of this object.
The Bristol chamber of commerce will
take up the question of the naval reserve
in a resolution to the effect that “the gov-
ernment should, without delay, deal with
the very urgent question of providing ade-
quate royal naval reserves, which are ab-
solutely essential not only to protect our
commerce and the food suppplles of the
nation, but also to insure the naval su-
preinaoy of the British empire. ”
The Italian chamber of commerce takes
a stand against the Welsh coal magnates
as follows: “That the new coal charter,
party for Welsh port-s framed by the cham-
ber of shipping of the United Kingdom
ignores the just interests of merchants and
of their foreign customers, and that this
association pledges itself to promote the
introduction of such "modifications in the
said charter party as will insure the recog-
nition of the rights of all parties interested
in the coal trade. ”
IMPORTANT STEEL RUMOR.
A Story About J. D. Rockefeller and the
Johnson Steel Works.
CLEVELAND, Sept. 16. —An unconfirmed
rumor is in circulation here to the effect
that John D. Rockefeller has purchased
the plant of the Johnson Steel company at
Lorain. President A. J. Moxham of the
Johnson company, when communicated
with by telephone, denied the rumor. Ex-
Representative Tom L. Johnson is now
absent from the city. An incident that
seemed to give some support to the rumor
. is that Mr. Rockefeller during the last two
days has been driving. about the country
in the vicinity cf Lorain, making a care
ful examination of the lay of the land be
tween Lorain and Elyria. The building
by Mr. Rockefeller of a fleet of ore carry-
ing vessels on the great lakes to carry the
ore from his mines in the Superior region
has led many persons to believe that he in-
tended building’ 0r acquiring a steel plant
to convert his ore into manufactured prod-
ucts. ‘
Cotton Compress Burned.
LITTLE ROCK, Sept. 16.—The Union
compress and its contents were destroyed
by fire. The loss on buildings is $150, 000
and on cotton $100,000. The buildings
and machinery were insured for $80,000
and the cotton was covered by blanket in-
surance. '
