Professor von Uerkouier, the famous painter, bad such a struggle to gain a living In bis early days that had it not been for his inexhaustible stock of patience and self confidence be would probably have abandoned art entirely. He sold his first picture for 2 guineas and later ou earned for a short time a couple of pounds weekly for a woodcut which he supplied to a comic paper. This modest salary coming to a stop, he was at his wits' end to know what to do. lie applied to a troupe of minstrels for au engagement as zither player, but in vain, and then took to designing carpets.

It was only by pretending that he was in search of a bed of salt that he was able to get drillers to work for him. When the borer had reached a depth of about seventy feet Drake found his antici pations realized, and he was the possessor of an oil well which, with the aid of a hand pump, yielded him twenty-five barrels a day.

PLANET PROBLEMS. tV Really Know Very Little About the Celestial Bodies. "The amount of ignorance not yet removed concerning the planets is very great," writes E. S. Grew. "We do not know, for example, whether the planet Venus rotates. At it does it may possibly have a life and .a vegetation like our own, though we suspect that it is clothed In eternal cloud. Of Saturn's rings we cannot say whether they consist of millions of tiny moons like brickbats or whether they may be even smaller still a veil of shining dust. Of Jupiter we can only say that it Is covered with clouds, though of their substance we know nothing, and, according to Professor Lowell and Sir W illiam Hugglns, some of the bands we see on it may be rifts in the clouds revealing the body of the plan et. Little lines crisscross these bands. Photographs of Jupiter taken at Flagstaff observatory seem to indicate that these lines, too, are the upper clouds of Jupiter. "But whenever we see a planet we see It badly. Even Mars, the most clearly revealed of them all, is constantly obscured by a refracting haze, so that even of the famous 'canals, though nearly 500 In number, only a few are perceptible at a time, and an unskilled observer would probably not make them out at all. Sandstorms, sometimes snowstorms, sweep the surface of the planet, and because the winds of Mars are very gentle and slow moving these occurrences take a long time to pass by." London Family Herald. HE AMUSED THE CUBS. Then the Young Lions Took a Turn at Amusing Him. A negro attached to an African hunting party met with" a curious adventure, says an English paper. Wander ing one day from camp, be surprised two lion cubs at play and thoughtlessly commenced to amuse them. He was only too successful. The big cubs gamboled fearlessly about him and to his dismay refused to desist when he wished to leave them. Realizing the danger to which he would be exposed should the mother appear, he began to run. but the cubs refused to be shaken off and in their play scratched his legs In Tearful fashion. That the creatures were thoroughly enjoying themselves was evident from their manifestations of delight, and before long their unusual cries brought a lioness leaping to Jbe spot. Trembling in every limb, the negro faced the growling animal, while the cubs continued to jump up at him, eager for further caresses. The enraged lioness moved round uneasily in a circle, man and beast keeping their eyes steadily on each other. Several times the lioness crouched to spring, but the man, from fear, never shifted his gaze. At length, after what seemed an age. when the negro was ready to drop from exhaustion, the animal suddenly called her cubs away and disappeared tnto the surrounding scrub. - The king of Portugal left much valnable jewelry behind him when he left Lisbon. The minister of naMie works appraises the value of such artides found in the vaults of the pal-j ace at $7,500,000.

Of Interest To The Women

Photo by American Press Association. MBS. EDWARD B. ll'LEAN. Mrs. Edward B. McLean, who re cently acquired the famous Hope diamond, is said to have a greater Interest in gems and metals from a scientist viewpoint than from a woman's usual liking for adornment. She Is said to have almost as keen an insight into mining aa her father, Thomas F. Walsh, had. With htm she often made journeys to the mines in Colorado and other places and often advised him. After be established a fund for the Colorado School of Mines she gave money to the school for the payment of the tuition of students vitbout means. Mrs. McLean is -in terested greatly in philanthropic work. A New Business For Women. "There are all kinds of ways of making a living," said a woman dweller in a New York apartment house to her neighbor across the ball. 'For instance, yesterday morning my front door belt rang, and 1 opened it to find facing me a smartly groomed. pretty young woman, who immediate ly inquired whether I was airs. A. Having been satisfied as to the identity, she banded me a visiting card with this superscription: miss brown, Special Representative JONES A JOHNSTON. "She explained that the object ot her visit was to see why I bad dlscon tlnued being a charge customer of the Arm she represented. It. ceems that the young woman's position U chiefly that of a commercial peace maker. Patrons of big department stores, she told me,, often take offense at some fancied or real wrong which they have received at the hands o; one of the employees and in conse quence stop buying goods at the shop. After a certain number- of months hare gone by without a charge cus tomer having availed herself of bet credit privilege a circular letter is sent to her asking why patronage has beec withheld. "Should the firm receive no responstto this inquiry it becomes the duty oi the Special representative to find out the reason why. So she appears at the house of the delinquent in the guise of a 'chaser to smooth out thr trouble if possible and blaze the trail, as it were, to renewed patronage. Later on the matter Is placed in the bands of the complaint department, which in turn takes it up with the excustomer " 'You have no idea how many cases of this kind we have, which could be reached in.no other way, the peace envoy explained. After finding out that a prolonged absence from town was the only cause of my loss of trade the little lady, smiling, bowed herself away, leaving me ruminating upon the many tricks of the trade. Succ;ssward. Miss Annie S. Peck, the famous mountaineer, was talking at a garden party in Boston about her contemplat ed climb in the Andes. - "To what." said a girlhood friend from Providence, "do you attribute. Miss Peck, your success as a noonn talueer?" "Simply to perseverance, to assi duity. the other answered. "That fcthe secret of all success. A great de partment store keeper put the idea though, more neatly than I have 6om At a birthday dinner he naid: I attribute my success to the far that, if a customer doesn't see wba she wants, I've always made tier wast what she nee.'

The Duties of Best Man. "Does the best man have the wedding ring1 and when does he band it over?" The best man has charge of the ring and usually places it in a pocket of his waistcoat. According to the ritual of the Episcopal church, the ceremony of placing ic oa the bride's finger follows the plighting of the troth. After the bride and groom have both repeated this after the minister the book of common prayer prescribes that they shall again "loose their hands, and' the man shall give unto the woman a ring." The best man should therefore give it to the groom at this Juncture, In churches which do not have a printed ritual the minister would indicate the proper momentIt is proper to send a present to the bride at any time after the day of the wedding has been set and made known to the friends.

Engagement Etiquette. An engagement Is announced by the parents of the girl either In her own home by means of notes to Intimate friends or la a formal notice in the newspapers. The girl may write to ner own friends. Upon bearing of a friend's engagement It Is customary to write a note of congratulation. In writing to an engaged girl the proper term is to "wish her all hspplnees," and in writing to a man one congratulates him upon his good fortune. ' An engagement may last for aay length of time. Too long or too short engagements are not advisable. If an engagement exists, however, it is better for all concerned to have it announced speedily. When wedding cards are issued it becomes the duty of the prospective bride to acknowledge the receipt of every gift. Good Perm Don't. Don't attempt to wear your stock collar without having It carefully boned and don't depend . on pins to keep It fastened and in place. Buttons and buttonholes or hooks and eyes will answer the purpose much better and are not difficult to adjust, Don't wear quantities of cheap false hair puffs, curls, etc. False hair Is not to be utterly despised, for the girl whom nature has neglected to endow with an abundance of tresses needs a little, but do choose it carefully and be sure that it matches your own hair. Suit Case Good Form. To the inexperienced traveler .it might seem strange that there is a proper way of carrying a suit case. But to the veteran tourist, who has visited many ports and climes. It will seem strongly creditable. The suit case, when carried, should be held an inch away from one's clothes. Unless this Is done the case, constantly rubbing against the cloth, is sure to leave its mark of wear and tear. Canine Devotion to Duty. A dog'a devotion to duty is the subject of an article in Our Dumb Animals, in which the writer says "it ought to put to shame every human reader who ever betrayed a trust or shirked a duty." Left one night so goes the story on Wagontire mountain, with 3,066 sheep, by the death of John Sagoday. her master, one female shepherd dog two weeks later delivered to Manuel Saunders, owner of the sbeep, 3.085 ot the animals, baring lost only one during two weeks of privation. The dog's achievement was carried out despite the fact, that she was the mother of puppies only a few days old when her master died.
