Mrs. Langtry, who, because of a number of interesting recent events, is once more before the public eye, is the owner of a. ranch out near Carson, Nev. It was sold to her by“€3.111"Da- vis, of “The Appeal.” The story of the sale is short and reads like fiction, but is truth. Mrs. Langtry was playingGal- atea. She had had some dealings with Davis looking to the purchase of the ranch, but had been unable to make up her mind. “Sam” was consequently worried for fear the deal would not go through. So one night he went to the stage door of the theater where the play was being produced, and, owing to his editorial position, was admitted without question. He waited until Mrs. Langtry took up her position as the statue of Galatea, and then, calling three stage hands to witness, he whis- pered from the wings to her: “If you hear me, wink the eye which is further. from the audience.” Galatea winked. That established Davis’s case. “Now, if you don’t want to buy the southwest quarter section 14, 15 and 13 for $8,000 shake your head,” he said. Galatea,the marble statue, with the eyes of the audience, was, of course immovable. “All right”, said Davis, cheerfully, “I and these witnesses un- derstand that you want it at that. fig,- ure.” and took her good money. She prob- ably might have made a contention in court, but she decided that such diplo- macy deserved recognition, and so ac- cepted the situation. That is how she came to be a landowner in Nevada.— Chicago Record. ‘ .’ 3k. » ‘ we? .5 '_ PAPER HORSESHOES. Said to be Stronger_anrl Better Than Thode Made from Iron. , by some blacksmiths. The horse—shoe- ers themselves are not responsible for the innovation, but it is due to some of the owners of fine horsefiesh, who supply the paper shoes to the far- riers, whofasten thém to the horses’ hoofs with nails in the usual manner. The horseshoes are made of paper im- pregnated with oil or turpentine to make them waterproof. The shoes are the invention of a German. They are now being made, however, by an East- ern firm, which is finding a ready sale for them among owners of fine horse- flesh. After being saturated with oil or turpentine the paper .is glued to- gether in thin layers with acement which does not become brittlenwh'en drying, being a. mixture of Venetian turpentine, powdered chalk, linseed oil and lacquer. The holes through which the nails are driven to fasten the shoes to the hoof are stamped through the paper when moist. Then the shoe is placed under a hydraulic press and subjected to a strong pres- sure. . , When fitting the shoe to the hoof it can be filed or planed to fit as snugly as may be necessary. The shoes made of paper are said to be stronger and better than those-of iron, just as car wheels of paper are superior to those of iron. Another advantage claimed is that a horse wearing paper shoes is not likely to slip when traveling on slippery roads. Delaware State Senator Dead.

Ln .lies of Rank Nurse Cancer Patients in the Hospitals. . Ladies of the highest rank, who set—m the most engrossed by frivolous pleasures, will perform heroic acts-of charity in the most unexpected man- ner. The Infirmary for Cancerous Dis- eases, containing the most fearful and loathsome examples of that repulsive ' malady, is regularly attended by la- dies of rank, iwho have their fixed days of duty, when, each in turn, they dress the wounds with their own hands. The Duchess d’Uzes, one of the best known leaders of fashion, whose splendid fes- tivities fill the chronicles of the lead- ing newspapers, is one of the most-as- siduous, Showing an adroitness in the exercise of her charitable functions, which induces her care to be particu- larly desired by the patients. Great families, when residing in their country houses, have regular days in the week when the daughters of the family dress wounds and sores among the surrounding peasantry. The mothers in such families repress en- ergetically any morbid which might interfere with such duties. “What will you be fit for in after life if you cannot command your feelings?” said a venerable Marquise who looked as if she ‘had stepped doWn from the frame of one of her pictures in her chateau. Another instance is a lady in a less high position, who took in a wretched beggar child on a cold wintry night, performing maternal offices as regards removing the consequences of his neglected condition which were so repulsive that her physical strength gave way and she was taken violently ill in consequence. ~0n being praised ‘for her charity, She exclaimed almOSt indignantly: “What! when our Lord washed the feet of His disciples, you would have me shrink from doing what is necessary for a poor, wretched child, merely through a feeling of dis- gust?" It must be acknowledged, however, that by the side of acts of heroic char- ity there is, saving exceptions a great lack of that genial kindness which shows itself to equals in any trouble by. many little friendly attentions in England and America—the “cup of cold water” of the Gospel.—Century. WHAT WOMEN CAN DO. They Evidently Carry Much Influence in the Political Circle. . Presidents have not been fortunate in nominating members of their Cab- inets to the United States Supreme bench. Twice since the war the Son- ate has refused to confirm the nomi- nation of an Attorney—General to be a Justice. One nomination of a. Cabinet officer to the bench led to a grievous scandal, which is part of the history of Washington official life. The nomina- tion was no sooner made than there began to circulate anonymous letters intended to effect the rejection. These letters were sent to Senators, and to members of the Supreme Court. They, did not impugn the character of the Cabinet officer who had been nomina- ted. They assailed his wife. They contained charges such as if true must array the other Justices andthelr fam- ilies against. the proposed member. The Supreme Court circle is as much a. part of Washington society as the Supreme Court is of Washington ofii- cial life. A nominee'for the bench fares badly at the hands of the Senate if he or'his wife is persona non grate. to the court or the court circle. Sena- tors listen to the judgment of the Jus- tices upon the qualifications of the man whol‘i‘s'about to join them if confirmed. These anonymous letters were as vile and vengeful as only a. woman could make them. They were traced by a. third woman, who prided herself on her. detective powers, to the socially jealous wife of another member of the Cabinet. To this day no One can tell how far those letters exercised influ- ence i the rejection which followed.— St. LOnis Globe-Democrat. A Quick-Wittod Walk-ass. A woman in a. restaurant concluded to try an order of ice cream pudding at 5c. 3. plate. After it had been served she looked it over carefully, and call- ing the waitress back,‘ said: “Do you call this ice cream pud- ding?” ' “Yessum, and it’s very nice, too." “But where is the ice cream?” ‘TOh, that’s only the name given that peculiar make of pudding. “It seems to me that you ought to give ice cream with it as long as you call it ice cream pudding.” - “We don’t give cottages with cottage pudding,” quickly replied the witty waitress, which threw the middle-aged woman into a. convulsion‘of laughter, and she ordered a second plate—Bos- ton Herald. New Zoaland’l Women’ Inspectors. The New-Zealand Government has drafted a bill for the appointment of “discreet women” as inspectors, with extensive powers to stop and inter- rogate-the girl who is out at alate hour. They are also authorized to es- cort her home, or, if the latelgirl is a very hard case, to take her to an es- ' tablishment specially provided, and leave her in charge of the matron, pending inquiry. ____________ Getting Something Sure. “Hobs has quit .the harness business since bicycles are so popular.” “What is “he doing?” “He is making milking stools; he says’ he don’t think anything can he invented that will run the cow out of her job.”——Chicugo Record.
