Academy F?gaWS LIKE PYGMALION AND GALATEA. Bomantlo Love Story of Novelist Barrle and Miss Mary Ansell, the Actress. James M. Barrio, the famous author who wrote "The Little Minister," may-well be called a latter day Pygmalion. Every one remembers how the irreat sculptor or uy prus carved such a surpassingly beautiful Ivory statue that he lost ms neart to n. In answer to his prayers Venus breathed the breath of life into the cold ivory, and the lovely woman thus formed became the wife of the happy sculptor. Not long ago Mr. Barrle wrote a play which he called "Walker, London," and in which he por trayed his ideal young English girl, free as the air, modest as the violot, full of life and spirits, and a bit of a romp, it is true, but pure as the limpid waters or a spring. After he had created her it does not ap pear that Mr. Barrie prayed to Thespis to breathe life into the voins of bis charming English heroine, but Thespis took the matter into his own hands, and when cue curtain fell on the first night of "Walker, London," Pygmalion Barrle had seen his living Galatea in the person of Miss Mary Ansell, the charming English actress who impersonated his Ideal in the play. Mr. Barrie was too great a lover of a good dramatio situation to allow the Incident to end there. He promptly fell In love with HISS MART ANSELL, Miss Ansell, she as promptly loved him, and this latter day Pygmalion and his Galatea up to date will be married as soor as Pygmalion is strong enough to travel. . Miss Ansell is said to be one of the most winning and beautiful of the younger ac tresses of the "natural school" in England. She has been on the stage about two years, and ber youth, beauty and unquestioned talent have won for her a high place on the English stage. Her first appearance was with William Terriss in "Harbor Lights," after which she began a tour with her own company in ''The Love Story." Her success was Instantaneous and very nattering. Mr. Barrie was born at Kirriemuir, Scotland, 84 years ago. He was graduat ed from the Edinburgh university as an M. A. in 1883 and then turned to jour nalism. His first book, "Botter Dead," appeared in 1887. He has published half a dozen others since ana nag won a world wide reputation in the portrayal of quaint, humorous Scotch character. He has also written several successful plays. A recent attack of Illness loft him in delicate health, and he and his Galatea will take a long wedding tour, which may Include a visit to Novelist Robert Louis Stevenson In Samoa, V JLand Tenure In England. The facts with regard to land tenure ir the United Kingdom are such, one would fancy, as should rivet the attention of ev ery thinking man. "Of the 73,000,000 aores in this country," says The Financial Reform Almanack for 1802, "50,000,000 are 'owned' by less than 15,000 persons, and of these 60,000,000. no less than 80, 00,000 are owned by 1,000 persons." It is estimated that, leaving out blocks of un der an acre in extent, some 180,524 per sons practically "own" the whole of Eng land, Ireland, Scotland and Wales; that 10,000 persons "own" two-thirds of Eng land and Wales, 800 two-thirds of Scot land, And 1,600 two-thirds of Jroland. . , .

The sword of Etlian Allen, preserved In the National museum at Washington, is an old fashioned blade about 7 inches in length and slightly curved- The handle is made of horn or bone And is some seven inches long. The mounting is of silver, marked with gold, but tba latter U par tially worn off. A dog's bead of silver forms the end of the handle, and from this to the guard runs a silver chain. On one of the silver bands of the venerable leath ern scabbard is the name "Ethan Allen" engrossed in large letters; on another band, "E.

Miss Doria Kemp is a lucky young woman. She went out to sketch In the hills of old Mexico, and while looking for a brook fell into a bed of gold . nuggets. She jumped from poverty to comparative riches in the twinkling of an eye. Her find netted her $9, 700. Miss Kemp is now on her way to Paris, where she proposes to study art in the hope of becoming a great painter. Miss Kemp's life up to the time of her great discovery was not a "particularly happy one. She was the only child of a New England farmer who moved west during her girlhood, and she was left an orphan at the age of 18 in the mining regions of Colorado. She engaged at Lead- ville as companion to a lady in search of health and traveled with her to old Mex. ico. The invalid was a hard mistress, and the companion finally left her service at Chahariparl, a remote settlement in Chihuahua. Miss Kemp had saved a little money from her earnings and decided to' stay in Chahariparl for awhile and rest. Her host, a German named Miller and an Italian servant were the only people in the place who could speak any English. ; The story of her discovery is best told in her own words: ''One afternoon I started out from the town with my sketchbook under my arm, and after a brief walk came to a rolling, rather steep hill. , Curious to see what was beyond, I went on up and over Its brow. Before me lay one of the wild est scenes I have ever seen. The sound of a stream came up from the depths of blue below. It sounded tempting, and I start ed for it. As I went on down the sides I tore my skirts in the jagged undergrowth, but I kept on and on, marking my way by breaking low limbs. i 1 soon came Jn sight of the stream and was turning to make my way to the left to find a slant ' MISS DOB I A KEMP. : ;'' " that would take me to the bank of it when I found myself sinking down and down. I reached out for something to clutch, but something always gave way, and I finally landed on a sandy bit of beach in a little core that the horizontal wall pf the moun tain's base made at the edge of the stream. "I was not hurt, My fall had been gradual, I had fallen through a growth that covered the side of the hill above me full 80 feet. I scanned the sides of the rock that made the cove, - There was no retreat except through the brook, ' I was not worried, however, and as it was early sat down to sketch the canyon as it stretch ed away in the blue depths. While con templating the view I absently picked" up pebbles and threw them into' the water. One of them I happened to notice as I held it in my hand. It was of odd shape and peculiar color where the dried earth didn't cover It. -1 washed it off In the stream. ' It looked suspiciously like gold. I looked where I had been sitting, and there in an oblong rift of the ' rocks was a hatful of just such clods as I held in my hand. ' I had seen nuggets of gold, but had never heard of them in such quantities as met my gaze. Hoping it was gold, but not sure, and with thoughts or Monte Cristo- like splendor in my mind, I made my way around the point pf rock to find a way pack home wjth the nugget securely fastened In my dress. , The water, was up to my shoulders, but I succeeded n get ting around; then, marking carefully with bits of paper the way, I made up the hill again and gained the house much the worse for wear. I put on a dry dress, and seeking Miller showed him my find, ask ing him, with a calmness 1 certainly didn 't feel, what It was. He scanned it carefully and said! . . " 'It's purtygood gold.! Where 'd you Ket "I rather stammered that I had found it In the creek's bed a short distance from the house. Thoughts of the treasure, if it were one, being filched from me caused this little deception. I thanked him and went to my room. To get the rest of the nuggets from where they were and take them safely to a place where I could dis pose ol them gave me much to think on. I finally decided to trust the Italian, who seemed grateful for various little kind nesses of mine to his wife. I promised bim $50 for his services, and he swore to keep my secret. "We went to my gold mine with pick and shovel, bags and a rope, and after eight or nine hours of hard work exhaust ed the pocket. . It made about 80 pounds of dirt, which we divided into two packages. 'J he next day the Italian secured a cart, and we started for the railroad, which we reached after a six days' trip, , I gave the Italian live or six ounces of the most solid of the stuff and had the rest packed n a stout box. While at the station I met a traveling salesman to whom I confided. He advised me to take it to the City of Mexico, I lacked f 10 or 113 of having money enough to pay my fare, but he loaned it to me, saying I could sepd it to him. I arrived safely In the city, and with the assistance of an American at the hotel I had the stuff melted, and after the customs and license were paid it netted me $9,700. On the advice of the same gentleman I invested in a small cultivated coffee plantation near Minatitlan. It was profitable, and I sold out last year." , Its Curious Formation la the Full Buys of a July Son. Two solid bodies, one yellow, sulphur, Che other black, cafbon, unite under cer tain circumstances to form a colorless liquid called sulphide of carbon, which must be handled with much precaution on account of its great explosive prop erty. The soluble property of sulphide of carbon renders it valuable to take spots off of garmenta If its odor -is more disagreeable than that of benzine or turpentine, it has at least the advan tage of being dispelled quickly in conse quence of the prompt evaporation of the. liquid. There is nothing equal to it to take off spots of paint on clothes. It does not do it, however, without creat ing great fear in persons who use it for the first time, fov they see on the very place where, to their great pleasure, the paint had disappeared a large white spot, the nature of which is hard for them to define, and the more they brush the more unsightly and the larger that white spot grows. Is then the garment lost? No, for fortunately after a few moments the spot melts away never to show again. - It was snow and nothing mora . The sulphide of carbon in evapo rating takes heat from the cloth and surrounding air, and the result of that is a sudden lowering of temperature suf ficient to freeze the vapor of the atmos phere. ''; ' ' . .Without operating on your clothes yon may make the experiment in the following way: Fill a small vial with sulphide of carbon, taking great care to do it far from all flame or heated stove. Then close the bottle with a cork stopper through wbichyou have previously bored a small hola . In this hole place a piece of blotting paper made up into a small rolL The paper must reach to the bot tom of the bottle and about an inch above the oork. Within 15 minutes you will see the outside of this paper cover ed with snow, the quantity of which gradually increases. The liquid has risen through the pores of the paper as the oil of a lamp through the wick. Whea it gets to the open air, it evaporates, and the water contained in the surrounding atmosphere, being brought to a temper ature below 83 degrees, has been frozen. If you divide the paper outside of the bottle into several pieces, you obtain flowers and most charming effects. You may make the experiment in summer and in the full rays of 'the sun. The re sult will be obtained then more prompt ly, evaporation being more abundant St Louis Post-Dispatch.
