SHE RETURNED T0 BON BOY ' l How a New York Girl Tried Her Hand at | Philanthropy. THE WAYS OF LITERARY WOMEN. Ouida's Dainty Gowns and Miss Mur- free's Shabby Desk—Woes of & Queen—An Anecdote of Kosa Bonhenr, Not long ago a New Yorl woman tried an oxperiment which will certainly adorn o tale if it does not point a moral as well, Hore is the tale, says the New York Times, As the identity of the woman is to remain jan unknown guan- tity throughout its recital, she may be called Miss X, Now, Miss X, is single, thy and lives by herself, And Miss does things, 100, occasionally, which or friends say, “How like kEl- only Eleanor isn’t her name. \xperiment, by the way, was one of those things. On one of the recent autumn days, which had 1n its keen air more than a hint of winter, Miss X. was hurr, across the pavement from a Broadway s carvinge. At the curb, o 1, thinly clad and blue with ing se mem,”” she beganin the whine of the strect beggar, ill ve buy a pencil?”’ and she held up her unservice- nble 8. Miss X., who was in some haste ved her aside with a not un- kind **No child,” and the next moment was rolling away. Not, however, before the wistful, disappointed, and above all, *used-to-iv” look on the girl’s face im- pressed itself upon he The next ob- jeet which met her cye was the pot spaniel nestling in his wadded blanket on the opposite seat, and it scemed to strike her suddenly that there wasa f:ninfnl contrast hetween the life of this ittle pampered animal and the bit of shivering humanity she countered een intimated that Miss X. is > odd, perhaps, so it wasnot sur- r that, after thinking of the dog and the girl and the girl and the dog for a few blocks, she signalled to the eonch- man and ordered a return to the shop, A aracteristic impulse had secized her. he had decided reasoning in her rapid way that Bon-bon got care which be- longed toa higher grade of animal life than that of a Cocker spaniel, and she proposed to put him in his proper sphere and sce what effect the same attention sho had been lavishing upon her dog would accomplish if bestowed upon a human being. She had determined upon the experiment. The girl was still on the sidewalk as the carringe stopped, and, without des- coending, Miss X. was able to catch her eyeand beckon to her, Wonderingly, the child answered the signal. “What is your name; litile girl?” be- gan Miss X., abruptly. “Mary ~Monahan, reply. “'And where do you live?” “[-liHhh'uulh street, nearSixth av’noo. mem, A few more questions elicted the facts that she was an ‘“‘orfun, mem,” living with her grandmother, and had a sister rs older than hersclf who **sewed hats in a shop, mem.”” “Well, Mary,” said M they had talked thus far, “get in here with me and we'll go 'to your grand- mother, 1fshe is willing I am going to take you to my house and see if I can’t give you something better to do than selling pencils on the street. Would you like to come and live with me?” “I dunno, mem,” said Mary, and with this non-committal reply Miss X. had to be content. The grandmother proved w blear-eyed old crone, who was easily pursuaded to relinquish the care of her descendant, and leaving a message for the sister that she would hear from Mary and see her occasionally, Miss X, with her newly- acquired possession, went away. On reaching home Mary was given over to the seamstress, whois also a sort of housekeeper in the establishment, with directions that she be fitted out with suitable clothes, be looked after and in- structed inlight work, and brought to her every morning at 9 o’clock. One more order followed. The spaniel, his basket, and all his belongings were to be taken from her dressing room to tho stable at once. Before she dined that evening Miss X, made a careful estimate of theaggregate time she had been in the habit of con- suming every day in petting and caring for her dog, andarranged 1o give itdaily now to her new charge. At the next morning’s interview Mury was not very satisfactoryl She was found to be very ignorant and very unenthusiastic. Sho stolidly accopted the favors already be- stowed and listened to future promises without apparent gratitude or other emotion. Still Miss X. did not despair. “Approciation,” she said, “or at least the expression of it is culture, and poor Mary comes from the gutte On the afterncon of the same day, as Miss X. was dressing for dinner, word came from the bagsement that Mary was missing. Upon inquiry a fow hours before there had beén a ring at the area gate. Mary could see from where she stood who was there. “I'll go,” she said to the cook; “it's somebody for cold vitals,” and the cook turned and saw that it was a girl with a basket. That was the lastof Mary, Her absence was not noticed at fivst, but when it was she could not be found on the premises. Later, the coachman reported that he had seen Mary a block from the house without hat ‘or coat, scurrying along with a girl her own size, evidently follow, “1 wouldn't ha’ knowed Mary, she looked that chirpy.” ‘“Evidently,” commented Miss X., re- lating the experience to a friend, “it was an experiment with Mary, too, and she didn’t find it a pleasant one.” **Well,” questioned the. friend, *‘what did youdoabout it?" *Oh,” replied Miss X., “T let her go; there was nothing else to do, only,” she finished with a queer little smile, *'I had Bon-bon back from the stable,” had just en- mem,” was the s X., when Almost every woman writer is more or less “cranky’ about the surroundings amidst which she prepares her copy. Ouida wants everything cheerful about her and will not write unless the sun is shining, says the New York World, She keeps u great bouquet oa her dusk, wears her dainticst gowns and must have her two pet dogs at her feet, Miss Murfree (Charles Egbert Crad- dock) has a shabby old desk, which is the joy of her heart. - She gets it in the cen- ter of u large, airy room, dons a plain, comfortable dress and becomes lost to life and friends in her work. She writes very rapidly and keeps her papers in perfect order, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps’ hobby isa cherished gold pen which she has used for years, It will bea valuable souvenir some day, but at present it never leaves her desk, She writes at a table well covered with books and papers. Mary E. Bryan of New York believes THE OMAHA DAILY BEE, SUNDAY NOVEMBER 80, in fresh alr, and writes with all the win- dows open and all the breezes of heaven playing among her papers, As fast as ghe finishes o sheet she throws it aside wherever it happens to fall, andasearch warrant is necded to got her manuscript together in the evening. Newspaper women write anywhe and everywlhere—on traing, on steam- boats, in r ay stations. And it is no unusual thing to see one of them prop a sheet against the wall and seribvle away for dear life, The queen of Roumania has had two serious troubles which preyed sadly on her excituble, emotional “nature, “says Modern Society. Her only daughter died and h on and heir never arrived. King Charles, her husband, has adopted a grown up nephew to fill the state va- cancy, but everybody knows this is not the same thing to the poor queen con- sort, whose position is never the same a8 when hev own child comes next in succession. The dispensations which have fallen on other alted ladies should remind her majesty of Roumania that she has partners enough in distress —the ex-Empress Bugenie for one, whose heir was greetod with a whole nation’s enthusinsm and afterward perished by the spears of a few dusky savages. The Austrian empress is in a still worse plight, iler only son met with a disgraceful end and barely received ian burial. Save for a legacy of mischief and heartburnings he is as though he had never been, The queen of the Belgians lost her only son somo years ago. A grand review of Queen Victoria's descendants would very likely give Carmen lvia a very lonesome hut she should re| that forty n and grand children not only come expensive but can seldom be man- aged as doves in o cage when once sons- in-law and daughters-in-law and junior partners swell the list, Thousands of singers have no doubt wondered why the title page of “Mar- guerite™ bore no dedication like all the other famous works written by this au- thor, the New York Werld, Tho reason for this omission was that Mr, White had in his mind an ideal picture of a woman corresponding in all femi- nine grace with his musieal picture of the ideal Murguerite. The composer determined that when he met a living woman who should approach his conce tion, he would dedicate his song to her. During his sojourn in the south, and while stopping at Atlanta, FEHE caught on the hotel piazza, while hur- rying to caten a train, a fleeting glimpsc of aface and figure which were almost the exact counterpart of his dreams, The vision remained with him, and whoerever he went Mr. White was un- blo to shake off his sentimental fancy. Several months later, whi n Cleve- land, he again canght a glimpso in the t of the ideal of his dreams, ne young lady is the daughter of Brevet Colonel Albert Barnitzof the Sev- enth cavalry, United States army, who is now living in retirement in this and who fought with distinction und. General Custer, Miss Bertha Rose Barnitz is a blonde, above the medium height, with hair which, unloosed, touches the ground. Her form is al D In addi- tion to her phys gifts s markable talent for sculpture and ing. She was born in Leavenworth, Kan. Her mother, who is a woman of more than ordinary accomplishments and striking beauty, is a warm friend of the poet Whittier, 10 whom she hias puid frequent visits of late. Her father, Colonel Barnitz, is a gentleman of pro- nounced literary gifts, Heveafter the title-page of the song “*Mavguerite” will contain the dedica- tion to Mr. White's newly found ideal, with auportrait. A young Frenchwoman, who is now married, tells a story of how her engage- ment was nearly broken off through her acquain co with Mile. Bonheur,whoat the time Lusy on a picture in' Paris, working in hoy Frenchwoman’s cousi One afternoon the painting did not go well, and Mlle. Bonheur went to the Jardin des plantes for inspiration, tak- ing the happy girl as a companion, Sitting on u bench in & shaded walk, they saw in the distance the girl's be- trothed, who, instead of joining them, looked a moment, then flung away in pussion, and for the space of u weels was not heard from. Then finally he paid a sulky visit, demanding an oxplanation of her apparently intimate relations with another man. “*A man?” said the laughing girl, now comprehending the desertion; *‘shall I call the gentlemn?” **What, in your own house?’’ said the mystitied caller, A minute later Mlle. Bonheur stood in the doorway listening smilingly w the coremony of presentation. “Ah,”” said the only half-pacified lover, *‘then monsieur—" “*Monsicur,” interrupted the trium- phant girl, “is Mademoiselle, and if you like you muy come into the studio and s her latest picture.” 56 of the young Is the pianoforte wanning in popu- lavity Feal giving place to the violin? One would not think so to see the activity among the dealers in these in- struments on Tremont street, says the Boston Advertiser. And t it would appear that the violin, espceinily as an instrument for young grirls, is rapidly in- creasing in popular The classes in S el e ho e LB are grow- ing larger, and a *‘popular” concert to- day can hardly be regarded as popular unless a young lady violinist is included among the “talent.” In England it is suid to have fairly taken its place as an instrument for girl: After all the pianoforte is veally a very modern in- strument when compared with the violin. It is only a harp set in a box and twanged with leather-covered hamm, Itis really a mechanical sort of an affair, while the violin has never within the memory of living” man or woman been improved and never willbe. Who ea for an old piano or how much it is worth, But a violin! What divine melody will pour forth under skillful fingers from an old Stradivarius of Amati? The wizard of Cremona possessed a secret which no imitator, however keen, has ever been able to fathom. Princes and dukes, men of high renown and modern money kings have scrambled for the possession of the few rare products of his cunning. Stradivarius died more than a hundred and fifty years ago, but the fow violins and 'l'l'{'lnn‘ which still exist to enchant the ear of the worid are worth their weight in gold. The master of the pianoforte is a skillful mechanician, with agile, supple fingers and an acute musical instinct. The master or mistress of the violin is imbued with divine fire, the gift of the gods, The slender waist has bidden us adieu. Nineteenth century beauty of form con- sists not of thinness, oreven slenderness, or what is usually termed gentility of figure, says the New York Star, l’riu “small by degrees and beautifully less’ and the late duchess of Devonshire's wadst of an orange and a half are not the ideal figures of today. The Delsarte maiden, who supports this opinion, will refer you to_ the® Modician Venus, tho most celebrated of the Grecian statues, A single glunce will convinee you of the fallacy of those ideas of beauty which bave been formed by the advocates and admirers of small waists and slender fig- ures. The body and limbs of that paragon of beauty are round and full. Examine still further and suppose for a moment that the Medician Venus were to be placed in the hands of one of our first rate dressmakers to be invested with the usual quantity of clothing now worn, all fitted perfectly to theshape. The result would satisfy us that modern forms pro- duced by tight lacing are destructive to healtl well as to beauty, and bear no analogy to that lovely, graceful and ex- (e\n.-.ncly beautiful model of antiquity. Vhatever is mean or scanty in nature or in art can never be beautiful, Four hundred and sixty-seven girls lunched in a cafe the other day, and by the courtesy of the head waiter the writer was permitted to play sentinel at the kitchen door, says the New York Sun, Only thitteen orders contained meat—two of steak, three lamb chops. fivo ham and three mutton stew. Twenty-seven bowls of soup, chowde and broth were served; six damsels called for fish; one hundred and four had an oyster stew and sixty-seven” took lobster or chicken salad An even two hundred made a meal on ice cnm and cake, with a glass of ico water, Forty-five had hot apple dumpling: three hundred cuts of pie wore consumed, with one hundred and arlotte russe, seventy chocolate thirty-nine creampuffs and one rd of Washington pie cut into ions of three inches each, One hul ed and seventeen nk tea,twenty called for coffee, twenty-three for pop, ale and beer, two had claret, seventeen ater, and the rest, one hundred ty-seven in all, filled themselves It is to this kind of diet that so many of our sullow-faced, blood- less, flashless, shape women and children can be traced, Mrs. Kendal’s complexion is one of the things about which the world is thor- oughly justified in talking, says aa ex- chang is a question whether many ars in the world are so fortunately endowed by nature, She has not much color, but the texture of her skin is as smooth and satiny as that of the traditional country milkmaid.

Samples of American chestnuts, su- ior to those of foreign growth both in e and flavor, have recently been re- ceived at the department of agriculture, affording a striking illustration of the Its of culture ai selection. By e means it is believed that the ma- turity of the chestnut likewise may be materially hastened. Reports received from various sections of the country ndicate that the nutmay be best prepared for market by being im- mersed in boiling water for about ten minutes as soon as gathered. Wormy nuts will float on the surface and may be removed; all eggs and lavie of insects will be destroyed; and the condition of the meat of the nut will be so changed that it will not become flnty by further curing for winter = use, and still be in no wise a “boiled chestnut.,” The nuts may be dried in thesun or in dry houses after being placed in sacks in'such quantities as to admit of their being spread to the thick- ness of about two inches, the sacks being frequently turned and shaken. Dried by this method they remain quite tender, retain the qualities for a long time that make them desirable in the fall, and may be safely stored: but, of course, will not germinate. A bulletin on nut culture is being prepared by the division of pomology, and when published may be obtained by applying to the secretary of agriculture, Washington, D.

That’s the magic word that dances be- fore our eyes from the cradlo to the ave. How to obtain it? To this question every one has a differ- ent answer, and queer and extraordinary indeed are some of the means adopted in the life-long chase after the root of ali evil, In Paris, whero the supply of human beings far exceeds the supply of money, there exist and flourish some of tho queerest and most extraordinary money- getting professions in the world, says the San Francisco aminer. Who, for instance, would imagine that there is Paris a regular guild of trade-union mirours des eufs, anglice, “oxaminers of eggs,” who carn their livelihood by giv- ing opinions in the varions markets of the metropolis s to whether the oggs offered for sale s either good or bad, and although they ave necessarily lim- ited to a mere outward inspection of the egg they never make an error or mis- take a stale for o fresh one. Another odd calling that affords em- ployment and daily bread to a number of steady men is that of professional aw ener, The latter form a trade union, are duly licensed and officially recognized by the police, und perform the duties of an ambulant alarm cloe! The awak- ener starts out at about 3 o’cloek in the morning on kis regular round, provided with a notebook on which are inseribed the names of his customers and the hours at which they desive to be avoused from their slumbers.

A most disreputable looking indiviuual was this old man, who, dressed in rags, was wont to wander by day and night along the thoroughfares of the great metropo- 1is for the purpose of gollecting the half- chewed, half-smoked butts of cigars, No one would ever have believed it pos- sible for this wretched specimen of hu- manity to leave a fortune of 300,000 franes to his heirs. And yet this is the case. It appears that he had di ed the means of earning large profits by reducing his eigar stumps and cig: ettes to ashes which he thereupon sold at the rate of $5 a pound to a well known chemist.
