Yes, per haps because of such surroundings. Genius will flourish any where, and genius has tin* happy faculty of bend ing every dilllculty 11» Its own advan tage. At any rate, though genius It self Is apt to be very dubious respect ing this comforting doctrine, 1 cannot but think that Princes road made fata rina. Yet, truly, what a setting for such a pearl! Her mother was an Italian, her fa ther had died while she was still a child, and from that day Catarina was marked by fate. The mother had bought a greengrocer's shop hi that very unlovely Princes road 1 have re ferred to, and there, ensconced In that little fortress It might he truly said hardly < ver quitting guard she had begun and carried on through long years one of those terrible, grim, silent struggles with poverty, disaster and death with which London Is replete. She hud survived, she had been always able Just to keep her head above wu ter, but heaven only knows at the cost of what heroism, of what Intelligence and of wlmt privations In that little sea of troubles In which her lot was cast! The older Inhabitants of Princes road still remember her as a buxom and high spirited young woman, speuklng English very badly, but shrewd enough withal. I tut the years had gradually lobbed her of every trace of her for mer beauty, and from the first day I knew her she was a prematurely old, quiet, careworn dame, her face sallow and* withered, her cheeks drawn and sunken, her hair dry and dusty, and If any hint remained to give assurance to the memory of her charms It was hi her Italian « ye, sad. but deep, lustrous, blazing up at times with Home inward fire or or. asloually revealing the strange, yearning. hunted look of a poor child of the sunny south wearing out her life lii a somber clime and among an alien people. No; there was another testimony to bei former beauty Catarina! She was about Id when 1 saw her Hist, and most children are pretty at that age, but no one with the eye of an artist or with Insight Into character could ouce gaze upou Catarina's countenance without Inwardly resolving that that strange, foreign looking creature was predestined to n “career.'* (’atarlnu was often to he found in the shop about that time or In the little “parlour" that served for everything at the hack. She was generally to bo found there, In fact, for, though she avoided school and was not a particu larly shining light In the paths of learn ing, the girl was devoured with a rage for reading There she was to ho found as often ns not with a smudge upon her short nose from having han dled dusty potatoes, perched up or crouched down with a novelette, a story hook, a hook of travel, of ad venture. Hhe was extraordinarily pre cocious In her understanding of the world, Just as much as she was back ward in physical development, for she was small for her age. Even then she was ambitious she was more thun am bitious; she was fiery and resolute. One saw it in the flash of the wonder ful eyes as she glanced up quickly from her hook, seeming In one earnest dart to look through your own eyes In to something, possibly the soul, be hind! She was delightfully shy, though con fident; timid, though fiery; rapid, though tender. When sin* dropped her eyes, there was a fascination that de pended on no mere demureness, that must indeed have been something un conscious, for it seemed really to he due to the lashes, with their long and peculiar fauilke sweep. Catarina had resolved even to he nn actress. By u sort of Instinct she per ceived that that was the only avenue by which she could escape from the surroundings of Princes road, which at the same time she loathed ami ac quiesced in with a natural and even affectionate familiarity. Catarina would weigh out a pound of potatoes with “East Lynne" in her hand. She would haggle over an odd halfpenny with the usparagus man, dreaming -for she was always dream ing—of the most brilliant conquests, the most Illustrious situations of the "boards.” Catarina had been tlx months In "the profession.” By dint of what exer tions, of whut energy, resolution, had she carried her point 1 It was heroic, but of that kind of heroism which is utterly unconscious to the doer. Cata rina knew a world of things, and she had nerves of steel. She had succeed ed. And then her chance came. A1 most as one tosses a ball of worsted to a kitten they had given Catarina an Interpolated “song and dance.” She could not slug a "little bit,” for, though her voice had a ipiallty as though the sense of touch hud some how boon dissolved into it, the volume of sound in singing was altogether too feeble. The audience laughed, laughed ! even at the beautiful Italian eyes, sim ply because they were •‘new*’—until Catarina begun to dance. They had ! taught her steps for a fortnight, but in : her excitcuicut she had forgotten them. she fell hack upon the steps her mother ! had taught her and upon her genius. ller dancing spoke, it sang, it laughed, 1 it teased ves, like the very kitten with the worsted it fascinated, it struck tire works, It brought down the house In a thunderclap of sudden, impetuous, astonished applause. 1 met her going home one night short ly afterward. She had slipped away and was actually trudging or, rather, stepping it. like a fairy on foot. Per haps she liked tin* walk; perhaps it was the habit of the old days when a half penny loomed vast as a sovereign. She was beautifully dressed, though outwardly enveloped In a coarse cloak. It came on to rain, and 1 suggested we should tnke a hansom. 8he con sented with the air—In her It was no affectation of a princess, giving me her dainty little hand. On the way down Ilayswatcr road she alternately laughed and cried for Joy, and tier whole pleasure was that she would be able to make the “mater” a countess. “The mater, you know’, suffers, al though she never complains. She 1ms Indigestion.” Poor mater! I thought of that long campaign of suffering, of privattou, even doubtless at times of starvation, und Catarina knew it. We came near l’rlnces road. -Till him to stop!” Hatarlnn cried suddenly. Then with the confidence of old acquaintance: “I eau't hear to tell any one my ad dress Is In Princes road. I abhor It. Hut the mater Is positively loath to leave It ” •Vtttarina,” 1 said, **uo one, 1 hope, Judges you by” h>he started up as if she had been struck by a whip, her eyes In the moon light glaring HUo those of a < tiger, throwing a luster upon the pallid, beau tiful countenance. The Nuddeu glance recalled to my mind the picture of the "mater” maim ed and bruised from tin* terrible battle of life, with her broken Kngllsli, gar nished with the hideous slang of Princes road, which she hud piously accepted as the IhiglUh vernacular. “Catarina,” I pursued firmly, "no one, I hope, judges you by Princes road.” She seized my band. The tears gush ed to her eyes. *1 thought you were going to say something else. If you had, by Jove, I’d ’a’ gone for you!” We walked oil in slleuee till we came to the little greengrocer's shop. 1 was about to bid ('atarlua good nlglit, but h!.v said: "Come In for a minute and talk t«> the mater. She sits up waiting for me always. And If you tell her 1 danced well she could llsteu to you tell ing It a hundred times.” We entered through the darkness of the shop. A pale light shone, however, through the crack In the parlor door. Catarina, a little surprised that the muter had not opened to greet her, called out, "Mater, mater, mater!” ns she entered the room. There the muter sat In the old arm chair. In front of her on the table was d?little pulntlng representing herself as a young girl of about Catarina’s age. Heside the painting was Catarina's lat est photograph. A newspaper was still In her hand. Her face was smoothed of wrinkles In Its last repose.

Williams, the white, flaxen hair of albinos shows that there Is u deficiency of coloring materials In their bodies. Further proof of this fact Is found In the ab sence of the necessary amount of pig incut In their eyes. Such persons have pink eyes because there Is not pig incut enough In the Iris and upon Its posterior surface to prevent the red re flex of the fundus from shining through the Iris. Albinos are always greatly annoyed by strong light because there 1s not sufficient coloring to prevent the Ingress of a flood of It, the bright glare entering not oiily through the pupil, but through the substance of the Iris as well. The choroid being likewise deficient In pigment, tbo excessive amount of light dazzles and greatly confuses the vision. Furthermore, the deficiency of pigments In tin* choroid prevents the light after It has acted on the retina from being absorbed, that being the main function of the choroidal pigment. Albinism Is an unfortunate condition, us there Is no way to supply the defi cient pigment to the Iris and choroid. A Lively Cump. In 1851 Mokelumne II111 was one of the worst camps lu California.

One of the greatest lessons In life Is to learn to take people at their best, not their worst; to look for the divine, not the human. In them; the beautiful, not the ugly; the bright, not the dark; the straight, not the crooked side. A habit of looking for the best In everybody and of saying kindly In stead of unkindly things about them strengthens the character, elevates the Ideals and tends to produce happiness. It also helps to create friends. We like to be with those who see the d! vine side of us. who see our posHlhlll ties, who do not dwell upon the dark side of our life, but upon the bright side. This Is the office of a true ft tend, to help us discover our noblest selves — Success.

A I.omloner On 1 inly llcturncd Money (ilvon to Hint lij MInIiiUo. A gentleman of my acquaintance had ft curious experience of manners anil customs of modern lhigtand a few nights use at the tlieater. He lmd taken four stalls, but at the last mo ment found two of his party unable to come. On his arrival at the theater he left the two spare tickets at the box of fice, the clerk promising to sell them If he could and send the cash to hliu when they were sold. lie took his place and Noon afterward was gratified to see his two surplus seats occupied. The Individuals who took them were attired In evening dress and bore the outward semblance of gentlemen. My friend begun to look out for the money which was to come from the box otlice. Presently a concesslonnalre entered, passed down the row of seats and ad dressed one of the two newcomers. My friend noticed that the commlssiounaire passed something to one of the gentle men, who put It Into his pocket with out a word. A sense of uneasiness stole over my friend with regard to the 15 shillings that was due to him, and ns the even ing was getting on he thought he would go and make an Inquiry at the box otlice. Ills suspicions were veri fied. The clerk had sent In the money by a commisslotinalrc. The commission linin' was called from the door and on seeing my friend at once realized that he had given the money to the wrong man. lie promptly went back to the theater, my friend following to see the fun. The cominlsslonnalre went straight to the party to whom he had handed the money and said, ”’Kre, you’ve got 15 shillings that don’t belong to you.” Thu other replied In an unconcerned way, “Oh, yes!” took the money out of Ids pocket and returned It to the oom mlsslonnalre. "lie showed no trace of embarrassment,” says my friend, “lie handed back the money, as he had pocketed It, without turning a hair." I always like to think the best of peo ple, and possibly this Individual, being a stranger to music halls, was under the Impression that It Is the practice of the proprietors of such establishments to semi a eomudsslonnalie around from time to time to distribute cash bonuses among the audience.

FOR THE CHILDREN *ly I.ndy'a Toilet. Here la a game that gtverf boys and girls no nut of fun. It la called *‘my lady’s toilet” mu! required no mate rials except a wooden plate or a cJrcu lap tray Indeed, any circular object will do that may bo twirled around ton the door and Is not easily broken. Any number of boys and girls may play It. hatch player tukes the name of some article belonging to a lady's toilet, as hairbrush, 1mthrush, comb, hairpin, gloves, etc. The players take seats around the sides of the room, and the one whose duty It Is to start the game goes to the center and twirls the plate on the floor as hard ns he enu. As the plate begins to spin he speaks some sentence In whleh he uses the name of one of the toilet articles, and the player who has that name must leave his seat and try fo catch the plate before It stops twirling. If he falls, he pays a forfeit and takes tiro twlrler’s place. If he succeeds, he takes the place without paying a forfeit. The plate spinner generally spoils a sentence like this, “My lady Is *ng out, and she wants her gloves.” The player whoso name Is “gloves” then runs to the plate and tries to catch It. The spinner has a right at any time to cry out the single word “toilet,” and when In* does alt the players have 1 to change seats. The one that does n#t get a scat* the spinner himself always secures one must then take the plate ami pay a forfeit. Forfeits may be redeemed at the end of the game. Wronulf Named.
