With Fortuners Favoring Smile Came
An Offer of Marriage.
Rose Bonheur gives this interesting account of her first success as an
artist in her article, "The Story of My
Life,"'in tho December Ladies" Home
Journal: "To better study Nature, so
as to Impregnate myself with it,1' she
says, "I passed whole days at the
slaughter-house of the Roule, in Paris.
One must be truly devoted^tQjTme's art
to live in the midst of such horrors,
and in such company. The men were
surprised to sec a young woman interested in such thingi-, and were disposed
to make it disagreeable for me. But
Providence ucver abandons those who
strive to do well, and camo to my aid
in the person of good M» TSmile, a
Hercules in force atitl physique, who
declared that he would take it upon
himself to administer a good lesson to
the iirfat one who behaved rudely toward roe. Prom that time 1 worked
without further annoyance. The position that my protector occupied was
that of scalder aud dresser of calves'
heads. Seeing how frugally I breakfasted he often invited me with him,
and there, surrounded by the curious
implements that served him in his
profession, his wife, as .good and honett
as himself, made me partake of many a
comforting meal. At last fortune smiled
on me; M. Tedesco, the picture dealer
bought one of my canvases; the secretary of Pine Arts commissioned me to
copy a picture a "Flight Into Egypt,"
1 forget by who m, and I pain ted another
picture, '"The Shepherd and His Flock
Seeking Refuge From . The Storm,''
which I sold well, aud lasbly,t;> crown
all these happy successes, I was asked
in marriage by a druggist. As the
drug store had no attraction for nit
I refused. My father's position had
improved also, but death over took
htm very soon after this brightening
up of our prospects.—Ladeis Home

repeatedly, and then, looking at me,
laughed good natnredly and gave it up.
' 'He brought a piece of cast iron, but
I wanted something harder to drill, so
I walked over to a large planer and
took a long extension tool, made from
3 by 1% inch'tool steel, and clamped it
up to the table of the drill press. He
shook his head, intimating that the
twist drill could not go through, and
the crowd of workmen emitted grants
of approval.
"The press started, the lips of tbe
twist drill turned out two spiral chips.
The men elbowed me to one side. There
was a sea of pigtails bending down,
watching the marvelous action of that
little tool. As the chips grew in length
the expressions of wonderment increased.
"It happened that the chips did not
broak until they were about 14 inches
long. Then others started, and each
time that they broke off they were eagerly snatched by tho men, some burning
their fingers, and examined carefully
from end to end.
"The dull edges of the drill were
shown around and then ground aud

would cut as well as the first time

.An interesting'account of a visit to a.
ptiines'e arsenal, near Puebau is given
by a correspondent of fassier's Magi
gine.   He says;
"Taking out two drills, I sent them
in and immediately was invited to enter.
The official was polite, bowing and
shaking his own hands, as is the custom
among Chinamen, and offered me a cup
of tea.
' 'There happened to bo several forg-
ings in the room, and as I pressed the
drills against them and pointed ro over
the wall ho seemed to comprehend what
was wanted, and in a few minutes I
was in a large, well lighted machine
shop. I might say this extensive plant
was built and equipped by French engineers some 15 years ago.
"The native foreman examined my
tools with great interest and called in
several assistants. All looked puzzled
and did not seem to know what they
were for. Walking to a drill press; 1
took out the flat drill, and, after considerable packing around the shank,
succeeded iu getting one of my taper
shank twist drills to run fairly true in
the spindle. There must have been 50
Chinamen working: in the room, and
every one had gathered aronnd this
press.   The foreman ordered  them off
Iron foundations.
A now Way of constructing a solid
foundation for a tall bnilding has been
tried with success in Berlin.' It was
necessary to find a solid base sufficiently
strong to carry a building weighing
more than 10,000 tons. The plot of
ground upon which the building was to
stand was adjoined on both sides by high
buildings, which rendered unsafe the
digging to any depth for a foundation.
The only way out of the difficulty was
the sinking of a caisson in the center of
thepjot, upon the cemented top of which
a hollow form of cement was built. Into
this form molten iron was poured, filling up the space, and upon this cast iron
foundation plate tbe uudersfructure of
the building now rests, while the .side
walls are supported by a cantalever structure. Tho full weight of the load upon
tbe cast iron foundation is estimated at
more than 20* 000 tons.—xTew Ideas.
JHie Origin of This Ever Topular English.
^Entertainment. t
Generations of children have found
pleasure in witnessing the antics of
Punch and Judy, and after nearly a
century of popularity the mimic theater in which their adventures are displayed still gives amusement, to both
young and old. The origin of this always attractive entertainment is not
English, as many who have enjoyed it
may suppose; but, according to au.old
book, Punch and Judy arc of Italian
ancestry. In the district of Acezza, neaf
Naples, the people are very much addicted to the making of wine from
grapes, and it is curious that from antiquity they have been famous for their
love of droll Wit and comic fun.
Many years ago, in the season of the
vintage, which is- a time when everybody seems to be full of fun and frolic,
some comic players came along through
Acezza. They began to poke fun at the
vintagers, aiidfu the war of wit the
players got the worst of it.
Now, there was among the vintagers
a, fellow with an enormous red nose,
long and crooked like a powder horn,
and he was the very drollest and wittiest of the whole company. The players
were so tickled with his witty sayings,
all set off by his odd faise aad very-
queer air and manner, that they almost
went into hysterics With laughter.
After they went away they began to
think that this droll fellow would be a
great accession to their company; so
they went back aud made offers to him.
Theso he accepted, and such was the
success of his efforts that tho company
acquired great fame and a great deal of
money. Everybody Went to see this
witty buffoon, aud all wore delighted.
This example led to the establishment of a droll or buffoon in all companies of comedians, and he was always
called after the original one, whose
name was Pucco d'Aniello. This was
in tlie course of time softened into Po-
.lecenello. The Prcnch made itPoliche-
nel, and the English Punchinello. After a time the English, for the sake of
brevity, left off the latter part of the
word and called it plain Punch.
How Judy originated history does not
record, but it is very easy to surmise
her story. Such a merry fellow as
Punch had as good a right to a wife as
anybody, if he could get one. Why not?
One might-think that his beetlike nose",
would have stood in the'way of liis find^
ihg a'woman'willing to marry him," hut
his wit was an offset to this, Womeii,
ire fond of wit, and Punch would have,
played his part ill if he Could not hav§
made if cover his, nose".
* Kow that we haye supposed Punch .to,
have had a wife, and also supposed hei
name to haye been Judy, what mora
natural than for this amiable couple
now and'then to have had a bit of a
breeze? They lived a wandering life",
and, like other people'in their station^
took a little liquor to raiseJbeir spirits,
^fter" the effect wag pyer, feeling a Jit-.
fie pepvisli,* they fell to calling, eaclj
Other hard names, and hard blows followed; so this is their wholo history.

Immense forests.
A faint idea of the vastness of our
forests in the Willapa valley, Washing*
ton, Says the Frances News, can be
formed by the fact that by building a
short 'spur of from 1 J-i to 2>rf- miles of
track a body of timber can be tapped
which contains about S0,OQ0,00O feet.
This is the estimate made by; two men
