DR. NANSEN’S WIFE.
[King Oscar Has a Special Admiration
for Her Voice.
Of Dr. Nansen’s wife not much in-
formation has found its way into
print. She seems to have a very im-
perfectly developed taste for publicity,
but what is known of her is interesting
and indicates that she is an uncom-
mon woman, both in talent and char-
acter. It is recorded by Dr. Nansen’s
biographers, Broegger and Rolfsen,
that his first meeting with his future
wife was in the woods about Frogner
Seator, where, one day, observing the
Esoles of two feet sticking up out of the
snow, he approached them, with natu-
ral curiosity, in time to see the head of
Eva Sars emerge from a snowbank.
Dr. Nansen was married in 1889, after
his return‘from his successful expedi-
tion across Greenland. When he start-
ed in the Fram in 1893. his wife, left
at home at Lysaker. near Christiana,
with one child, turned for'occupation
to the development and use of her
gifts as a singer, and with notable Suc-
cess. King Oscar of Sweden is one of
her admirers, and especially likes her
singing, which he has often heard; and
since she has been in England the com-
pliment has been paid her ‘of asking
her to sing before the Queen. She is
a staunch backer of her adventurous ‘
husband, whose departure on his peril-
ous errand cost her‘anxieties and mis-
givings as to which she said little at
the time. Since her husband’s return
she has sometimes spoken in conver-
sation of her fears, and has said that
careful comparison of Dr. Nanscn’s
diary with her record or remembrance
. of her own sensations bearSI her out in
the belief that the times when she was
the most concerned about him were
the seasons of his greatest peril. That
implies a telepathic communication
born of intense Sympathy and solici-
tude, the possibility of which science
seems no longer disposed to deny.
Mrs. Nansen’s father was Professor
Sam, a well-known zoologist. Zoology,
' it will be remembered. is a branch of
science of which Dr. Nansen has made
a special study.—Harper’s Weekly.
An Achievement Explained.
He was a little curly-haired, rosy-
ch-eeked member of a boy choir. He
had been having some trouble with a
high note, but on this occasion sang it
out with a clearness and vigor which
surprised and delighted all his fam-
ily. = I
“That was splendid,” said the,leader
of the choir. “You have been taking
my advice and practising.”
“No, I haven’t practised it.”
“I don’t understand how else you ac-
complished it.” ‘
“Well, I’ll tell you. Just before I
came to that hotel shut my eyes and
made believe I was at a ball game and
saw Cartwright steal a‘b'ase.”—Wash-
ington Star. ,
. A Rare Curiosity.
“I’ve got something nobody else has
got,” said a wealthy New Yorker who
has been experimenting with raising
fancy fowls over in New Jersey.
“What is it?”
“I bought a $175 incubator, put $25
worth of eggs in it, and hatched out a
blue bottle fly. I’ve got the only $200
blue bottle fly in this or any other
country."—'I‘exas Siftings.
'GraCeiui. ‘
“Why do you send Blum such a
handsome and costly present every
year, Saxey?”
“Just between you and me, Blurr-
married the girl that'had promised tcx
marry me. I can’t do enough for him."

»ning a verst (1,160 yards, or about five
furlongs), watch in hand, to see that
he can do it in his average time. .

A Remarkable 'Tree.
' A redwood tree which was recently
cut down in the state of Washington
was .465 feet in height, or about one-
eleventh of a mile. To the point where
the first limb branched out was 220
feet. At the base the circumference
was found to be 33 feet 11 inches. If
it were sawed into lumber it would
make 96,345 feet of boards. This
amount .of lumber would serve for the
construction of eight cottages two
stories high, each containing seven
rooms. The age of the tree is said to
have been 684 years—New York Tri-
bune.
