Robert Drowning. as well as literary ability and personal beauty. Miss Bislund is a Mississippi girl, who entered journalism in New York three years ago. She contributed to The Cos- - j inopolitan regularly. When it was an- - j nounced that Nellie Bly was to be sent around the world to beat the record of j "Phileas Fogg," the managers of the ' magazine sent for Miss Bisiand, and she undertook to start in a contrary direction in a race with Nellie lily six hours later. Then sho went to pack a small traveling bag for the journey, but amid all the hurry of preparation she found time to go to her lawyers and have an agreement drawn whereby The Cosmopolitan en-gaged her services on salary for two years. When tho charming young woman reached the office to receive her final in- - strnctions, she smilingly unfolded the agreement and it was signed. Under it she still draws lit r salary. Miss Bly bad no such foresight. She had no sooner returned to New York than she quar- - ruled with The World, and her services wi-r- dispensed with by that paper. Miss Bislaud lost the race, but she, gained tho greater material advantages from it be-cause; sho had a talent for business. Philadelphia Times. Miss lllsliuid' llusiness Tactics. All clever women do not possess simi-lar capacity for business, a fact which is conspicuously illustrated in the cases of Mi.s Elizabeth Bislund and Miss Nellie Bly. the rival globe trotters. Miss Bly won tho race around the world by three days, but she hrvs sunk into obscurity, Hiid her name, which was on everybody's lips a year ago, is now only tradition. On the other haul, Miss Bisiand is still n favorite contributor to The Cosmopo-litan, from which she is drawing so lil- - ral a Hilary that she is able to live in London.

Cupid vs. ('lotbet. When Elizabeth held tho fort in Eng-land, and Sir Waller Raleigh used to ro about wilh clothes on that if ho had got hard up he could have gone around to his uncle's und pnt them up for thou-sands of pounds, not to mention a cer-tain pair of shoes of his which were said to bo worth 0.000 crowns, then it be-came the fashion for a man who was in lovo to neglect his apparel, us if ho were too much occupied to bother about such trillcs. There was one mark in particular-I- ns garters were not to be tied. So that when an Elizabethan dude walked down the Mall with these useful appendages hanging on Is hiud him it was equiva-lent to saying that his heart was gone. Here wo have Shakespeare in "As You Like It" pu! ting these words into the month of fair Kosalind, "There is none of my nncle's marks upon you; he taught me how to know a man in love. Then your hose should be ungarted, your bonnet unhanded, your sleeves un-buttoned, your shoos untied, and every-thing about you denoting a careless des-olation." Clothier and Furnisher. definiteness of sensible imagery, and a parti pris of imitative admiration of the works of tho intense and complicated artists of tho Fifteenth century, like Botticelli, Mantegna and Mending. Theodore Child ia Harper's. Enelish Art la Nineteenth Century. In future years, when we walk through tbe rooms devoted to tho English paint-ers in the National Gallery, we shall sum np the history of the art of the century in a few broad sentences. We shall find that the mass of the English painters have relied simply upon nature, and per-- ! sistontly contented themselves with por-- j traitnro, the sentimental drama of daily life and the patient transcription of the phenomena of sea, sky and landscape. At the beginning of the century we shall notice that some painters named Barry, j Fuseli, West and Ilaydon were hannted i by poetic ambition, and imagined that j it was possible to begin where Raphael and Michael Angelo had left off, and so continue to interest mankind by the re-arrangement of lifeless formula) and worn out conventions. The productions of these men remain, however, mere historical curiosities. Then we shall observe a change in the surrent ideals of art und the appro- - priation of new stores of p'letry and romance, of national legend wid univer-- sal myth. But umidst the leading expo-- , nentH of tho new ideals we shall not dis-tinguish common qualities other than evidences of wido literary culture, a ten- - deucv to dirUlinnK" "vmliolisin anA I Tnung, but a lliislnrss Woman. In the Pennsylvania railroad depot tho other morning I noticed moving among tho crowd a tall, handsome brunette somewhere in tho twenties. She pur-chased tickets which would carry her through several states aud territories by almost as many railway connections, and had her baggage, four iron bound trunks, checked to apparently all the cities in tho Union. She was young, pretty and alone, and hho seemed to have such a lot of things to attend to. which she did in a thorough businesslike way and without any assumption of mascu-linity. As she tripjied through the gateway to board tho train a weather beaten old of-ficer, who is ono of the veterans at tho depot, shook hands with her and said: "(tO'.kI luck aud lots of business." "Who is the actress?" some one in- - quired. ' "Actress! why that young woman is no actress. Sho is one of the sharpest: drummers in this country in her line. 1 have known her bince she started on the j road seven years ago. She was only 18 then, but looked two years younger. I have met traveling agents and drummers of all sorts, but it is seldom that you will como across a woman as young as that who starts out from New York twice a year, and visits every city in tho United States where there is any chance to sell goods. Tortoise shell and amber goods is her line, and she does the biggest busi-ness for the biggest house iu New York, and is the niece of the head of the firm. She is just as gentle and good as she looks, but I gue?s the young man who would try to 'mash' her on tho road wouldn't want to try tho second time."

The inordinate employment of the possessive case is a vulgar solecism, and not used to excess by those of gentle breeding. There are both men and wo-men who ore forever talking about "my carriage," "my house," etc., until they disfiist their hearers. One is apt to im-agine that; such persons are the possessors of newly acquired wealth and its appur-tenances, when this small, two lettered word slip:s from their lips with nnseem-in- g frequency. The pronoun "I"' should not 1 too often repeated, as it gives too jxTsonal and egotistic a turn to conversation, and the frequent recurrence of "I said so and so," and ' 1 did so and so," reveals a nat-ure weighed down with a sense of ita own importance, and caring little about wl'fit other people are doing or thinking. Jenucss-Jh'.le- r Magazine. Architecture In California. The Americans have not the art of making houses or a land picturesque. Tho traveler is enthusiastic about the exquisite drives through theso groves of fruit, with tho ashy or the snow covered hills for background and contrast, and he exclaims at the pretty cottages, vine and rose clad, in their semi-tropic- set-ting, but if by chance he comes upon an old adobe or a Mexican ranch house in the country he has emotions of a differ-ent sort. There ia little left of the old Spanish occupation, but the remains of it make the romance of the country and appeal to our sense of fitness and beauty. It is to be hoped that all such histor-ical associations will be preserved, for they give to the traveler that which our country generally lacks, and which is so largely the attraction of Italy aud Spain. Instead of adupting and modifying the houses and homes that the climate sug-gests, the new American comers have brought to California from the east the smartness and prettiness of our modern nondescript architecture. The low house, with recesses and galleries, built round an inner court or patio, which, however small, would fill the whole interior with sunshine and the scent of flowers, is the sort of dwelling that would suit th climate and the habit of life here.

New York's Women Notaries. There are four women notaries in New York, and one of them is the private secretary of Commissioner Ueattie. During Ids illness she superintended the work of 1,500 men, and personally in-vestigated the details of its accomplish-ment. She is a western woman who came to New York to join the ranks of the women custom house inspectors, and is a distinctive type of lie self made woman who is now asserting her-self so generally in the world's work. By making her home each year in fami-lies of .different nationalities she has learned to speak with a good accent four of the most important tongues one hears in this very cosmopolitan city, aud in addition to her duties as inspectress, managed to spend three hours a day ia special study at one of the city colleges. Sho is quite the reverse of strong mind-ed in appearance, low voiced and bright in conversation, sings delightfully in a deep, full contralto voice, dances like a dream, ami has the happy faculty of making a successful social evening out of tho most undesirable and hopeless of materials. Her name is Miss Westover. Tho woman Ben Franklin is a most in-teresting phenomenon wherever you en-counter her. New York Sun. Declaration of War Not Necepsary. Wars are often engaged in without any set declaration. This is the case in Kurope, find has been so here. The Unit-ed States mado a pronuiiciarnentoof this sort when it entered into the contest with Great Britain in 181', but no such formality was observed by us in the con-test with Mexico or in the civil struggle of 1SG1-- In each case tho government recognized that a state of war existed and acted accordingly. St. Louis Globe-Democr- What Every Man Should Know. No part of the toilet should ever he performed in public. All such opera-tions as cleaning or cutting the nails, picking the teeth, removing shreds of dried skin from the face or hands, pull-ing out stray hairs from the beard or scalp, should be performed in the pri-vacy of one's own apartment, not on the street, in the car or boat, or in the draw-ing room. Some men consider they are quite justified in scraping und paring their nails in the presence of their fam-ilies assembled at the breakfast table if they preface the action with a perfunc-tory "Excuse me," or "By your leave." Others do not take the trouble to apol-ogize even thus slightly. And without pessimism it may be af-firmed that only exceptionally does one find a man who will not pick his teeth after a meal, if not before guests or in a public restaurant, at least in tho pres-ence of his family. There are still house-holds in which it is considered quite a touch of elegance to pass a glass of toothpicks as the final course of the meal. Abstinence from the above mentioned "small vices," and from others of the same school, may be termed the first step in good breeding. Such avoidance is among the things a man ought to know ami to practice. Harper's Bazar. Canine Intellljrenee. One of the intelligent dogs lives in Bar Harbor, Me. Ho was carrying a paper tho other day when several canine com-panions began to bother him.

This was not bad news, but the legacy was conditional upon his marry-ing and settling down within twelve months' time of the date upon which official notice was given.
