ABSOLUTELY PURE
ELENORA DUSE.
Madonna, of the deepest source of tears,
Tb charm is thiiie; e'en in thy mirth doth
dwell
Some inspiration from that somber well,
Where only in reflection joy appears.
Thin eyes are like two lustrous midnight
spheres,
And In them all the storms of passion swell.
Until, obedient to some sudden spell,
Love's star gleams softly and all heaven clears.
Actress, enchantress or whatever thou art.
By what strange power dost thou upo the
stage
The one soul seem where real emotions rt?e,
And we but mimes who coldly play a part?
Only by thee such miracles are done.
Rare Duse, thou whose heart and art are one.
Henry Tyrrell in New York Sun.
THE ART STUDENT.
Tve had some interesting experiences,
I can tell yon. It's not a bad life, on the
whole, but at first it used to be verv an
noying in some ways. To begin with,
they planted me down in such a draft
and in the worst light possible, so that I
could not see anything, nor could any
one see tne, and then they would not
give me a new pedestal they tried to
palm off on ine one that belonged to a
discarded Nereid, which made nie look
top heavy, as it was much too smalL
However, one day a waiter, who was
rushing past with a soup tureen (it was
when I stood close to the door of the re
freshment room in the gallery, you
know), tumbled up against me and
smashed a great piece of the pedestal.
Afterward, when every one had gone and
the place was quiet, I jnst leaned over to
one side a bit and slid down. Hurt my
self? Oh, dear, not I chipped my lyre
rather. There was a fuss next morning
when the curator came round. That
waiter got into no end of a row and had
to pay for my new pedestal and lyre. It
was a pity I couldn't explain, but he was
a poor fool, and I wasn't sorry to see him
sacked for his disrespectful clumsiness.
There was a little student who came
to draw here, a little bit of a thing, with
a sallow face and a slight limp. She was
always shabby. Her gloves (one button
black kid) were very much oracked. .She
wore a battered black straw hat which
had outlij-?d the picturesque stage, with
a wreath of limp, streaky roseB round
the crown, even in midwinter. Her
dress, such as it was, was gray linsey,
and her poor little sqnaro toed hoots
were patched and repatched. The only
points about her were her clean collar
and her big, hungry eyes. She worked
for the trailer?, and I hnnrrl rtpr nnv elm
gives lessons. I know the pay is very
small, because she doesn't have half
enough to eat, and she certainly cannot
afford to ride or drive, because on rainy
days her feet are so muddy. She has
very little talent. It is only by dint of
sheer obstinacy she manages to draw de
cently. Some time ago a young man came here
pretty frequently for several months.
He's a fine, handsome fellow, very like
that sturdy Discobulus you see straight
in front of you. By Jupiter! that boy
can draw! I could tell he had it in him
the first time I saw him handle a craj-on.
The little lame srnHpnt. was rmsuln.r him
one day, looking more tired than ever,
ana cue inppea over tne eage of a bar
rier that had been put to screen off the
Laocoon family, who were undergoing
repairs, when down went everything

soul herself. The other student, whom
I will call "The Boy" for distinction,
was nrj in a moment, had nnt, her nn hor
feet again, and picked up all the dis
persed articles with a reassuring "All
right!" before you could ejaculate "Mur-
cury." She pulled herself together enough
to whisper "Thank you," and limped
away.
Next day she came early and worked
assiduously. The Boy was there too. He
did not notice her. he wn.n an rtiiRv Proo.
ently he felt a timid pull at his sleeve
and looked np. "Hullo," he said, with
that sunny smile of his; "I beg your
pardon, can I do anything for you?"
"W-WOUld VCU 1-1-let me look at vnnr
drawing?" she faltered.
"tjertainly , but there is nothing to see.
Well, thev chatted a bit after tlmr. and
compared notes till the Ice was fairly
broken, so the time Hew nnrl f ho litflo
gray student found she had forgetten all
about that tiresome foot of the Hermes
which wouldn't come riirht. A f tor flint
day they conversed pretty freely. Mean-
wane i nouceu a great cnange In her
thouch she still looked ninr-hrvl nml tWcA
her eyes began to have a new light in
mem, ine wnite collar was discarded for
a black lace ruffle, the poor tired roses
disappeared too, and in their place I no
ticed a large black feather, which, it is
true, soon lost its curl and had certainly
seen better days, but still she thought it
looked smart, and that cheered her, poor
little sonl. The gloves, too, were new,
or else she had managed to ink over the
purple cracks.
Some days she was there alone, and
then she would look wistfully from time
to time toward the door. Once, when a
step came swinging down the corridor,
she gave a little start, but it was only an
attendant, who was a conceited ass with
nothing to do, and he came in and bul
lied her and made himself perfectly odi
ous. 1 would have Bet my dog at him,
only fortunately the Boy turned up at
the right moment and sent the wretch
flying. I couldn't resist whispering to
my Venus what a smart fellow he was,
and she nodded approvingly.
When these two got tired of work the
Boy would sit and talk to her by the
hour together. Sometimes it was art,
bwder
snop, Hoineniiies poetry or scraps or
science wonders and often odds and ends
of mvtholotrv. over whwh lnot lio t
considerably mixed at times, till one day
I was in such fits that Venus thought
they would hear and snubbed me fear
fully. This went on for a couple of months or
bo, and then the Boy left off drawing
here. The little gray figure plodded in
and out bravely, but I could see her bite
her lips to keep back the tears of disap
pointment and longing for human inter
course and sympathy. At last one day
she dropped the pencil and sprang up,
walking to and fro and up and down:
.... -. - . '
men witn a suauen movement Bung her
arms around the feet of my beloved Venus
and wailed, "Oh, dear, kind God, make me
good, and make me patient, and clever,
and wise clever and wise." She lay
there quite still, with her head on the
marble, and I saw a tear fall from the
eyes of the lovely goddess and glisten in
the girl's dull hair like a moonstone,
The little gray student lifted up her head
pitifully and looked up into the sweet,
grave, but (alas! for her) sightless eyes.
"I am not beautiful like you," she
moaned pathetically, "but I will be pa
tient and good."
One morning I heard a soft laugh be
hind me, and then the Boy's voice. He
passed me with a tall, fair girl. They
passed in front of a bust of Socrates.
"So you don't think much of him?" she
said reproachfully.
"No. Why should I?" said the Boy.
"But he is a philosopher and a great
man," she urged.
The Boy looked straight into her eyes.
"But he didn't know you, sweetheart,"
he said, putting a strong arm round her.
"Don't you know by this time that for
me all art, all knowledge, all philosophy
is bound up in a single word you who
are love and philosophy and all art and
beauty incarnate?"
There was a tremulous silence for a few
minutes. Only Venus and I heard the
deep, quick breaths coming from the hud
dled little figure concealed behind a cil-
lar. The Boy and the fair girl passed
out, she leaning on his arm and looking
an rognujbijik ha'f tenderly up to him.
It was then .iked around for
the little gray stuueut. fcshe seemed
stunned. After a minute she pushed
back her easel, rose to her feet and came
forward, groping with her hands in a
blind, bewildered fashion, then fell prone
at the foot of the Venus. And tho sun
shine flickered lovingly down on the
shabby, gray linsy and "the rich mosaics
on the floor.
Some one came in a few hours later
and carried her away gently. She has
never returned.
No, I don't blame the boy. It wasn't
anybody's fault in particular. He was
kind to her because he couldn't help it;
he was as sympathetic as the tenderest
woman, and much too good and simple
souled to play with her feelings. It was
just one of those caseB where "nobody
knew."
Going? That's a pity; you're such a
good listener. Come again another day,
and I'll tell you some more. New York
Recorder.
HOTEL HERMITS.
Men Who Find Solitude In the Very Cen
ters of Liveliness.
One of the most interesting studies in
human nature about the city is the man
who lives in hotels. I do not mean the
commercial traveler or the man who is
engaged in business of any kind, but the
man who has nothing to do but to look
around him and enjoy himself. He may
actually enjoy himself, too, for all I
know. I hope he does. He is interest
ing as an illustration of what some men
call enjoyment.
The fashionable hotels of New York
and unfashionable hotels for that mat
ter are the shelter of many men who
are not in business other than the busi
ness of looking pretty and observing the
rest of the world move. I do not say
they are the homes of such men they
merely shelter and feed them.
In many instances this life is that of a
hermit. Possibly a man accustomed to
the wild, hilarious career offered by a
country hotel may cavil at the expres
sion in this connection, but it is becauso
such a man does not understand city
ways. A year or two ago a well to do gen
tleman died in a New York hotel. He
had lived in the hostelry for years, nnd
yet not a soul if I may use tho word
soul in speaking of a hotel corporation
knew him personally or anything about
him beyond the fact that he paid his billu
promptly and regularly. He chose to
make no acquaintances and was satis
fied to appear to the hotel managers as
"No. 01, K.," or by whatever number his
room was designated. The hotel man
agement had changed several times, but
he lived on there, a calm, unruffled ex
istence. As a guest Buch a man is a jewel, and
as may reasonably be supposed he was
not likely to be harassed by unnecessary
attentions. When he died and it was
fonnd that he was a gentleman of inde
pendent fortune the newspapers, of
course, making the discovery some peo
ple marveled for a day or two and then
forgot him. I recall the incident now
only to illustrate that in a great city like
this what appears to be the most public
life may be in reality the most exclusive.
There are plenty of men living hermit
lives in Now York hotels as much sous
if they occupied a poor hovel in the soli
tary fastnesses of tlje wilderness.
I know men who reside at swell hotels
who do not seek to avoid their fellows.
but who mlgnt as well be connnea in
the penitentiary or be dead, so far as
their usefulness to society is concerned.
They remind me of convicts so appar
ently listless, aimless and Inert their ex
istence. They eat, drink and sleep.
Life holds no more inviting cup for them
than that offered by the hotel corridor.
They have exhausted what men call
pleasure or are beyond the age of phys
ical enjoyment, with no reserve capacity
for mental pleasure. To a man of some
temperaments such a life would be a liv
ing death. New York Cor. Pittsburg
Dispatch.
A Remarkable Statue.
Some years ago a melodrama was be
ing performed in a country theater, the
chief actor in which had made himself,
from his haughty and overbearing con
duct, disliked by all. In the last scene
he was supposed to visit the tombs of his
ancestors. In the renter nf tho .fan.
upon a marble pedestal stood the statue
or nis iainer. a neavy tola of drapery
covered the figure. Enter Albert, who
thus addressed the statue:
"I am here once again to gaze upon
inose teatures which in life so often
looked on me with tenderest affection.
Father, thv moumin? son now rvimH tn
pay thee adoration. Let me remove the
veu wmcn irom ine vulgar gaze shields
the beloved image of aonce dear parent'"
Off went the drapery and, behold! the
father stood upon his head! The effect
cannot be described. It was electric.
The shouts of laughter which followed
the mistake of the surjer effentimllv nnf
an end to the scene, which changed to
tne next as quickly as possible, amid the
jeers of the audience, the anger of the
manager and the uncontrollable rage of
the actor. London Tit-Bits.

PRIZES ON PATENTS.
How to Get Twenty-five Hundred
Dollars for Nothing.
The Winner has a clear Gift of a Small
Fortune, and the Losers Have Patents
that may Bring them in Still More.
Would you like to make twenty-live hundred
dollars? ir you would, read carefully what
follows and you may see a way to do it.
Tho Press Claims Company devotes much
attention to patents. It has handled thousands
of applications for inventions, but it would
like to handle thousands more. There Is plenty
of Inventive tallcnt at largo In this country
needing nothing but encouragement toprodtice
practical results. That encouragement the Press
Claims Company propose to give.
NOT SO II Alio AH IT SEEiTIS.
A patent strikes most people as an appalling
ly formidable thing. The Idea is that an in
ventor must be a natural genius, like Edison or
Bell; that he must devote years to delving in
complicated mechanical problems and that he
must spend a fortune on delicate experiments
before he can get a new device to a patentable
degree of perfection. This delusion the com
pany desires to dispel. It desires to get into
the head of the public a Clear comprehension
of the fact that it is not the great, complex, and
expensive inventions that bring the best returns
tn their authors, but the little, simple, and
cheap ones the things that seem so absurdly
trivial that the average citizen would feel
somewhat ashamed of lirlnglng them to the
attention of the Patent Olllce.
Edison savs that the nrnllts he hna rt.fi.vs.A
from the natents on all his marvi-lnn. fnvmi.
tlons have not been sufficient to pay the cost
onus experiments. Hut the man who con
ceived Ihe Idea of fastening a bit of rubber
cord to a child's ball, so that it would come
hack to the band when thrown, made a fortune
nut of his schemo. The modem sewing-machine
is a miracle Of InifCtilillv Ml nrn,ln..t

THE LITTLE THINGS THE MONT
VALUABLE. "
Comparatively few people regard themselves
as Inventors, but almost every body bat bees
struck, atone time or another, wltb ideas that
seem calculated to reduce some of the little
frictions of life. Usually such Ideas are dis
missed without further thought.
"Why don't the railroad company make its car
windows so that they can be slid up and down
wlthut breaking the nassemrer.' hock?" r.
claims the traveler. "If I were running the
road I would make them in such a way."
"What was the man who made the saucepan
thinking of?" grumbles the cook. "He never
had to work over a stove, or be would have
known how it ought to have been fixed."
"Hang such a collar button I" growls a man
who Is late;for breakfast. "If I were In tbe
business I'd make buttous lhat wouldn't slip
out, or break off, or gouge out the back of my
neck
And tbe various sufferers forgot about their
grievances and began to think of something
else. If they would set down the next con
veuicui opportunity, put their ideas about car
windows, saucepans and collar buttons Into
practical shape, and then apply for patents
they might find themselves as independently
wealthy as the man who invented the Iron
umbrella ring, or the one who patented
the fifteen puzzle.

NO KLANKS IN THIS COiTIPETION.
This Is a competition of rather an unusal na
ture. It is common to offer prizes for the best
story, or picture, or architectural plan, all the
competitors risking tbe loss of their labor and
the successful one merely selling bis for the
amnuj of tbe prize. vt, tte plw $ia:aa
Company's offer is something entirely differ
ent. Each person is asked merely Whelp him
self, and the one who helps him self to tbe
best advantage ie to be rew&rriori hv rtni,,
The prize is only a stimulus to do something:
uinv nuum ue wen worm doing without it.
The architect whose comnetlilve nlm tr .
club house on a certain corner Is not occept-
eu nas spent his labor on something of very
ittlouse to him. But the
simple and useful device In the Press Claims
uuipauy n competition, need not worry if be
fall to secure a prize. He has a substantial
result to show for his work one thnt wit
command its value In the market at any
time.
