Blakely Hall, the New Torlc journalist, is ax feet in his stockings and weighs 230 pounds. , Karl Gottfried Leopold Leitner, the emi nent German poet, is 89 years old and stQl retains his mental vigor. Eugene P. O'Neill, editor and proprietor of The Pittsburg Dispatch, was twenty years ago a reporter in New York. Edward A. Freeman, the English historian, is short, but stout and robust. He wears a long, white patriarchal beard. Henry Adams, the historian, son of the late Charles Francis Adams, lives in Washington and is considered a society wit. Henry D. Thorean, whose fame Is as well established as that of any American author, earned less than $1,000 by his pen. Spielhagen, the pessimistic German novel ist, has made an American woman the hero ine of his latest 6tory, "A New Pharo." Louis Kossuth declares vehemently that he will not accept Italian or any other citizen ship, but will die as he has lived a Hun garian. Trinity College, Cambridge, England, has recognized the value of Mr. Edmund Gosse'a work during tho past five years as Clark lec turer by admitting him to a fellowship. EbenE. Rexford, writer of "Silver Threads Among the Gold," and other popular poems, it is said, receives 51,500 a year from tho Ladies' Home Journal for a column a month on flowers. Henry M. Hunt, the late general western manager of the United Press, has written a book on tho Cronin case, entitled "The Crime of the Centurv." It is handsomely and pro fusely illustrated. George Babbitt, an editorial writer on The Boston Herald, and a well known literary mad of the Hub, bears a striking resemblance to tho young man seen shaving himself in the advertisements of Pears' soap, and the reason is that he himself posed as the artist's model Paul du Chaillu, the writer and traveler, is 52 years of age. Ho is under tho average height, round shouldered and not at all hand some. His face is strong and his forehead commanding. lie has French blood in his veins, which is shown by his vivacity of man- ' ner. Georgo "William Curtis is described as "a bland gentleman with a clerical appearance, and looking as though ho ought to part his hair in the middle.'' He stands 5 feet 10, wears English whiskers, and darkish light locks shade a handsome face. For twenty eight years he has been the literary adviser of Messrs. Harper & Bros., receiving the splendid salary of S2o,000 a year. SOME USEFUL HINTS. For poison oak, bathe in cream and gun powder twice a day till cured. "Wash gilding with water in which onion has been boiled and dry with a soft cloth. Bo ashamed to iron a limp shirt bosom. Men do not so much care for a polished shirt as they do for a stiff one. Air tha housj thoroughly every day, even though the rain comes down in torrents or tho snow beats in in drifts. Use a silver spoon when cooking mush rooms. The silver will bo blackened if any injurious quality is present. Do not be deceived by agents who have a "superior f urnituro polish" for sale. Use lin seed oil; there is nothiug'better. If the eggs you have to use for frosting are not quite as f re&h as you could desire a pinch ' of salt will mako them beat stiffen Strong muriatic acid applied with a cloth, and tho spot washed thoroughly with water, is recommended to remove ink stains from boards. To remove white spots from furniture rub them with a cloth wet in weak spirits of cam- J phor, and afterwards with a very little lin seed oil. It is a good Idea for a tall woman to have her kitchen tablo and ironing board a little higher than ordinary. It will save mauy a backache. Use great care in serving food for the ta blo, as the smallest spatter of grease or gravy changes tho appsarance and spoils an other wise pretty dish. Tho repeated application of oil of cinnamon will cause those ugly eicresccnces warts to disappear. Rubbing them with salt is also recommended. Glasses and dishes wipe to perfection when washed in very hot water. Use a dish mop, soap shaker and iron dish washer. These also expedite the labor, as very hot water can be used. A very convenient way to poison rats and mice is to mix arsenic with melted tallow and cool it into a cake. Have the tallow merely melted, not hot, when the arsenic is put in. A bottlo or jar, unpleasantly odorous, can, it is said, bo oleansod by filling with butter milk, leaving a day or two, or longer, and then washing well with warm soapsuds. In very bad cases it may be necessary to repeat the process several times. A Woman's Club. Tbo Alexandra is the most exclusive of London's women clubs. It n also the most successful. No individual of the other sex above the age of tv elve is admitted beyond the door mat. Husbands, fathers, and bro thers are all ruthlessly excluded from within its sacred precincts. It furnishes an admir able center for shopping operations, and for lunches, teas, etc. It possesses the advan tages of bedrooms, let at the most reasonable rate, to that girls and young married women can spend a night or tnointown without any trouble to chaperons or maids. Women friends, of course, may be admitted into the club, and servants and tradespeople inter viewed. It is named for tho Princess of Wales, and no one who has not been pre setitpd to the r"(n is elijrible tr membership. The Enterprise Drawing. The following numbers won said prizes: 609. Prize 1.

Small Class of Empresses Beantiful Princesses in the Rooms of the Royal Schlose Tlie "White Lady," Who Al ways Gave Warning of a Coming Death. Out on Jackson street, in a modest little cottage, lives Signora Marcucci, a teacher of languages, who was fop Ave years instructress in Italian to the royal family of Germany. She knows all of the great ones about the throne of tho kaiser, and has many uiterest ing recollections of the days when the present empress went through the weary conjugation of the verbs and parsed and translated. The instructress heard more than tho les sons of her royal pupils, and some of the gos sip of the court and the diplomatic scandals that she heard during her stay there she told the other day to an Examiner reporter, to whom she gave the story of her life in the family of the emperor. "When I began giving lessons to Princess Frederick Charles, in March, 1878," said Sig nora Marcucci, "Berlin society was talking about the appearance of tho 'white lady,' tha specter that warns the house of Hohenzollern that one of them is about to die. In this in stance the death of Pnnce Waldemar bore out the gruesome legend. With my mind full of the uncanny mystery I presented my self at the royal schlosse. As I passed up the majestic staircase I was startled by the sight of what seemed to be the 'Weisse Dame' her self. A tall female figure, clad entirely in white, passed me, without taking notice of my presence. So softly did she tread that not the slightest sound of her footfalls could be heard. It was no ghost, however, but the Princess Frederick Charles herself, wrapped in a long white cloak. The death of her favorite son, Waldemar, had plunged her into the deepest grief. TEE BEAUTIFUL PRINCESS. "Though nearly forty years of ago at that time, she was still the most beautiful princess of the Prussian court. She was tall and dressed with exquisite taste, though very plainly. "I soon got to know the princess very well. Every one pitied her, for her matrimonial misfortunes were known to every one in the empire. She was the daughter of the Duke of Anbalt, and when she was but 16 years old she had three suitors, the prince, a Rus sian grand duke and another young noble man, she loved tho last, but her father gruffly ordered her to marry tho prince, and she had to obey. "She was kind hearted and almost childish in character, while he was rough as a wild beast. She made no secret of her unhappi ness, made worse by her poverty, and often spoke of it to her friends, of which I was happy to be one. She hud no money of her own, and what she got from the emperor and her father was wholly inadequate to the needs of her high position. "Her unkind husband never tried to make her life bearable. They ould have been di vorced if old Emperor William had not cut short their demand by asking them, And who will divorce me? And so they went on, sho running away from time to time and al wavs returning until death loosened tho chain in 1885. " 'My daughter, the princess of Connaught, and her husband, are happy,' she used to say, her eyes full of tears. 'They are at the same time prince and private peoplo. They go to Paris and amute themselves when they like.' "All her daughters were happy in their marriages. At that time ber son, Prince Leopold, was still a boy 18 years of age. He used to come to his mother during her lesson. He was a beautiful boy, with tha features of his mother. He had just begun to learn Russian. Many of the officers learn this language in order to be prepared for the war that they have so long waited for. The little fellow's visits were much more agree- abo than thosQ of his f ather T had heard M much of his brutality that I trembled when ho came in lest he should show his fierceness then. "One of the ladies in waiting had a favor ite lap dog. One day ho throw acid over it just to make the lady angry. Such acts were common on his part, but he stood alone in his brutality. The other princes were as kind and considerate as could be. i "Tho poor princess ran away to her father once while I was teaching her, but ho prompt ly brought her back to her husband. "Tho old emperor knew Frederick Charles' character, and once remarked in my pres ence: " If we had not been princes, I could have been a tambour major, and my brother a good teacher.' " 'And Charles?' asked some one. "'Oh, Charles would have before this reached the gallows.' THE TRUE SOVEREIGNS. "Princess Frederick Charles recommended me to tho crown princess, now the widow of Emperor Frederick. 'Uhser Fritz' and hu wife were tho true sovereigns, and the new place at Wild park and the Kronpriuzen palace at Berlin were brilliant with recep tions, at which every statesman, poet or ar tist cf note who entered the empire attended. Salvinl played in tho little Rococo theatre, at which no actor had appeared once the dnys of Frederick the Great, and Rossi re cited for tho pleasure of the brdliant court. "But while the great new palace was a scene of almost feudal splendor during the afternoon and night, it was more like the home of a well-to-do English family in the morning. The prince and the princess were unaffected people, and the young princesses played around the palace just like other chil dren. "Their favorite romping ground was the theatre I spoke of before. It was near the atelier of tho crown princess m which I gave her her lessons. "Sophia, the just married crown princess of Greece, then scarcely 9 years old, was the prettiest of the three little girls. All three had large, curly blonde hair. "Tne crown princess was painting a picture of her children's governess, and the whole family was greatly interested in it. Often the kind eyed crown prince would como in to watch the progress of the picture. "Poor fellow r The disease that killed him so soon after his accession to the throne had not manifested itself."

CHARACTERISTICS OF ORATORS. Shiel would ni3h to tho clerk's desk and pound it Air. Gladstone "pounds th box," as it ia called in England. Fox used his fist; "It is nooeesary to pound it into them," he said. Burka often lost his temper; Disraeli lost his very rarely; Pitt .lever. Daniel Webster's nerves were like iron. He was cool, calm, collected under all the cir cumstances of debate. Grattan gesticulated so violently that "it was not safe for any member to sit within reach of his right arm." Cicero, according to Pliny, began to spAak with timidity, and trembled until he struck the earnest current of thought Chatham was noted for hia distinct articn lation.
