BOSTON WHO HAS
FAMOUS ARTISTS.
Me Ma Muonna, Venus, Helen. Mag-da-
ltD and Otber CelebriUea Many Wo
atra'm Ifenda Fainted on Her lxref
Shoulder Americana Are- Swindled.
A homoly visajrexl, well formed Italian
woman, about 8o years of age, occupies
a nun or rooms on ureene street, and
gets a living by doing fancy needle work
and taking lodgers. Her name is Mar
gliarita Campelli. Iler husband, form
erly a tenor singer, but latterly an organ
grinder, died two years ago, leaving ner
ma name ana just enough money to buy
a black veil. As for bis burial, that was
paid by the city. But Margharita was
not to tie cast down, bhe had seen bet
ter days. She would seo them again.
The remilt is that she is now comfortably
situated, and is growing more prosperous
every year.
Years ago, before time cross plowed
her face with wrinkles, Margharita was
tho pride of Paris, and earned a luxuri
ous living by posing as a model for
sculptors ana painters. She was able
to earn anywhere from 100 to 600 francs
a week "on her shape" alone, and on her
rounded shoulders and above ber well
molded limbs rest the faces of some of
tho most celebrated belles and heiresses,
and, for that matter, queens and prin
cesses of Europe. In short, her body
was the form in which the celebrated
I'aririian artists breathed the breath of
life and beauty, and having done this,
they surmounted the trunk with the
heads of their patrons, all of whom were
pleased to le associated with her sym
metry, which none of them possessed.
THREE DOZEN MADONNAS.
When a reporter called she was en
gaged in the agreeable occupation of
washing the dinner dishes, but, although
attired in a simple "Mother Hubbard"
satino wrapper, the "human form di
vine" which she possessed was so very
apparent that it was quite evident the
artists had made no mistake in their se
lection. "I don't look much like a Madonna,
do I?" was her smiling greeting as she
stuck out a wet hand for the reporter to
grasp, "l think 1 am more nearly akin
to Venus rising from the sea just now,
and I have sat for lioth many a day."
"Which do you like the better, Venus
or the Madonna?" asked the reporter.
"Oh, Venus, to be sure, though Ma
donna posings paid me better; but they
were too stilf. I don't like standing all
the forenoon on a marble slab holding a
dummy' baby to my breast. It makes
my arms ache. 1 was never lucky
enough to bo a mother, and this fond
ling of infants comes hard. Still, I did
pretty well. I have been the model for
at least three dozen Madonnas in my
day. Six of them are now in Rome.
Nearly twenty are still in France, and
the rest have gone to England and
America. Last year I saw myself in
three different attitudes in as many
paintings at a 'loan exhibit' in New
York. I was told the cost of those three
pictures was $20,000. I wish I had the
money, but I am no artist. I am only a
niodeL Still, I like to know that the
rich people admire me, even if they do
not know who I am."
"Now tell me about the Venus," said
the reporter.
"My! but that was gay. I liked to be
Venus. I acted natural, you see. I just
sat down and threw out my arms and
gavo myself up to love. One artist paid
me 500 francs for six days sitting for
Venus. One hundred dollars! Just
think of it! It was the easiest money I
ever earned. But he got 40,000 francs
for the job, so he need not complain."
"Have you been a model for anything
but Madonnas and Venuses?" was asked.
WELL LOADED SHOULDERS.
xes, indeed. Let me tell you. I
went to Paris in 1873 and danced in a
theatre. Daytimes I sat as a model for
at loast twenty artists, and had my fig
ure painted in all kinds of postures and
at'i itudes. I was Proserpine in two pict
ure s, Helen of Troy in five, CEnone in
two, Hecuba in tliree, Rachel in one,
Miaerva in four, Andromeda in one, and
so on through all the list of celebrated
historical, biblical and mythologic char
acters. I worked as a model and got
good pay until 1884, when I was mar
ried, and my husband objected to my
getting a living that way."
"What was your husband's occu
pation?" He was a musician."
"How long ago did he die?"
"Last year. He heard there was a big
field for musicians in America, and came
over, hoping to make a fortune. His
failure broke his heart. Since his death
I have tried to get work as a model here,
but your artists do not seem to care for
me. I am afraid I am getting old and
embonpoint."
How many faces are now on your
shoulders, do you suppose? ' vas asked.
"Over 800. It is somewhere near 400,
if I remember rightly. There are three
of tho Rothschild women, Mrs. Mackay,
Jr.dic and the ex-Empress Victoria of
(Jcrmany among them. Bernhardt
v.'i-jited me to act as a model for her pic
tures, but tho artist convincedher that
bhe was too skinny. Sarah BeMihardt is
a beautiful woman for all that, and just
."s liberal as sunlight."
Did you ever act as a model for an
American woman?"
Yes, five or six in all. Mr. Bennett
brought a woman to Palero's studio while
I was a model. I think her name was
Bel!, and she was a sister or relative of
I r. Bennett. I also sat as a model for a
relative of Minister Bancroft when he
was in Germany."
"Anybody else?"
J remember a few more, but the
ciinps are. gone. The Americana who
go to Paris to get their portraits made do
not patronize the best artists as a rule,
though they pay big prices. It is shame
ti.l how you people are deceived by
d.cap artists. They have plenty of
iu:;ney, and should get the best. The
fact is, they are imposed upon by cheap
u-ork." She chatted pleasantly about
F:cnch art for a few minutes longer and
then resumed her household duties.

WOMAN IN
POSED FOR
THE CHAMPION EATER.
He
Devour Potato Cuatarda
and Sofia
Can by tho Cartload.
On the plantation of Capt. W. IL
Stokes, in Twiggs county, there resides
white tenant who promises to become
the champion cater of Georgia without
any opposition. The man's name is Ebb
Floyd, and he is said to be a short, stout
man of 80 years of age and of a jolly dis
position. Floyd first attracted the attention of
his neighbors at a log rolling which took
place about a month ago. On that occa
sion, after finishing the work the work
men sat down to a supper, and before
them, among other things, were placed
tifteen large potato custards. This dish
was a favorite of Floyd's, and the fact
ivas known to several of his friends, who
were present at the supper. One of them.
In a banter, offered to bet with Floyd
that lie could not eat half the custards at
the same meal, and was very much sur
prised when his farmer friend took him
up, and agreed to eat ten of them with
out stopping.
Piling up the dishes in a circle, he
commenced upon the spread. Five were
soon eaten, and then the fun began with
b. rush. One after another disappeared
slowly but surely, until the magic num
ber of ten came to hand, and all present
were in an uproar.
Straightening himself out for the fray,
the farmer commenced on the home
stretch. Ten large sweet potato custards
inside of him ana five awaiting the at
tack presented a ludicrous scene. It
was agony, but three soon sped away on
their journey to meet their fellows, and
gradually the last of the fifteen found it
self on the way down to the depths. He
had accomplished the feat, and the prize
offered in the bet was his, and his only.
This was, however, only a starter for
Mr. Floyd, and so, therefore, he chose a
day for another effort, and again he
came out victorious.
This time it was a chewing contest,
and sugar cane was the object of his at
tention. After a day of frolic and fun, and after
indulging in a hearty dinner, with turkey
and stuffing to his heart's content, he
visited a house where he expected to eat
supper and remain all night.
mis time a crowd tiad gathered to see
the Twiggs wonder, and an abundance
of good, juicy cane had been set in the
room ready for the contest.
As a preliminary, fourteen full stalks
Were chewed before sdpper. and then all
hands sat down to an old time Thanks
giving supper, with 'possum and yams
and plenty of rich gravy.
f lnisninsr suDDer. the host announced
to his friends that the contest was ready
to be opened, and asked if any one pres
ent wanted to make bets on the result.
A school teacher in the crowd sug
gested that a speedy trial be made, and
offered to wager that Floyd could not
chow three stalks in ten minutes. This
was accepted, and the schoolmaster set
before him three large, fine stalks and
called time.
Two of them were disposed of in five
minutes, and the third one saw its fate
in two more minutes, making the farmer
the winner by three minutes.
This settled the question of speed, and
then some one offered to bet two to one
that Floyd could not drink a quart of
the juice down without stopping. He
wa3 a wiser man in just a minute later,
for, catching up a jug, Floyd drained it
of three pints of the sweet stuff.
livery one was satisfied and he was the
hero of the hour, when a small hand
cane mill was brought into the room and
twenty 6talts were crushed, giving out
three gallons of juice.
llus was a startling announcement.
and it had the effect of making Floyd a
lion among his friends, when they were
taken aghast by the statement that he
could chew twenty stalks before he re
tired and not feel the result.
Every one laughed at him. and all
thought him to be jesting when he laid
out twenty of the largest stalks of canti
near his cnair and commenced on. the
work of grinding out the juice with his
molars.
One by one the stalks were taken up
and stripped, chewed and the piece
thrown aside, and in exactly one houi
and fifteen minutes the little pile was
exhausted and tho man was ready to
quit and retire from the field.
The news of his feat spread far and
near in his neighborhood, and now he is
the wonder of the section.

Shoes must never be put on a shelf

To keep shoes, even after they are past

Burnt shoe soles and feathers are good
to cure a cold in the head, say old aunt

The older dusky maids believe that
when their shoes come untied and keep
coming untied it is a true sign that their
sweethearts are talking and thinking
about them.
Good luck to the child who draws on
her stocking wrong side out. If she
takes it off and rights it before 12 o'clock
she may feel assured of getting soon a

when any one accidentally spits on the

In Washington county two married
couples were living only a short distance
apart, and by neighborly intercourse
each man became enamored of the
other's wife, while the ladies soon
learned to love the other's husband, and
thus became estranged from their first
love. When matters took this shape it
came to be noticeable by all concerned,
and many evenings passed while each .
husband was at the other's house pour
ing out his tale of love and fidelity ntp
the willing ears pf the listeners. Finally
one of the husbands, a httle bolder than
tho other, proposed an exchange. ' This
was met with gladness by all the parties
interested, and the pro posing parfy con
sented to the trade pn condition that the
other would allow him 3 in. cab "and
seven bushels of Quaker peas. This was
readily consented to. and the trade WAD
made, each wife going to the other's

EXECUTIVE WORK.
Hon It I Divided Into Department la
the United State.
Tho great mass of work imposed
dxn the executive power of tho gov
ernment embracing so many distinct
subjects and requiring so many thou
iamls of agents to perform must bo
-irranged and treated in an orderly and
systematic manner. To exjiect the
president to give it his close personal
attention and directly sujx-rintciid the
doings of each agent would be absurd.
The magnitude and diversity of the
work demand its separation into parts,
and the general supervision or manage
ment of each part must bo intrusted to
a separate olhcer.
On this business basis and in accord
anco with the design of the constitu
tion congress has divided the work
among seven executive departments.
eacn in cnarge of a general oflicer, or
head of department, known respect
ively as tho secretary of state, the sec
retary of tho treasury, tho secretary of
war, the attorney general, the post
master general, the secretary of the
- l ii... a r . l .
uuvy uuu me secretary 01 iuo interior;
and the work of each department is
still I u rt her su bdi vided and distri buted
among bureaus and divisions and
minor offices, in ehargeof lessier heads
or chiefs, designated as commissioners.
stijK'rintcndents, directors and by vari
ous other general or special titles. An
executive department, then, protierlv
means one of the grand divisions of
government work boldly marked out
or suggesieu oy t:ie cxpivs provisions
ot the constitution.
mi i i i
inese granu divisions reauny ar
range themselves. The sovereign re
lations of the republic with foreign
powers, and its ofhcial intercourse
with the governments of the states at
home may be regarded as one distinct
grand division; accordingly we have
the department of state. The coinage,
currency, revenue and general fiscal
affairs suggest another great branch of
work ; hence we have the department
of the treasury. The mention of
armies suggests work that in time of
trouble is likely to tax the energy of a
separate division; tnus we very ap
propriately nave a department of war.
The pi-osecution of offenses against
tho United States, and other judicial
matters wherein the interests of the
republic are concerned constitute a
general division, represented by the
department of justice. The postal
service, as one of the most intricate
and important branches of government
work, certainly forms another grand
division ; tiiereiore we have the post
office department Maritime protec
tion, like the military or land defense.
forms a separate division; and thus
we have the department of the navy,
The various matters of domestio con
cern not covered in these other de
partments but contemplated by the
constitution, such as the census, public
lands, patents and odds and ends, may
be conveniently grouped into another
general division; ana thus we have
the very miscellaneous, yet not mis
named, department of the interior.
To some of these executive depart
ments are intrusted matters which, on
their face at least, do not strictly be
long to the grand division to wliich
they have been assigned by law. For
instance, the weather bureau is a bu
reau of tho war department; the work
being, intimately connected with tho
peaceful interests of agriculture and
commerce, it is very generally de
manded that it should be taken from
military control and placed elsewhere.

i reaa wun some amusement re
cently a letter m The Pall Mall
Gazette, headed "What We May Ex
pect, wincn took for its text a para
graph which announced that a rail
way is to be run through the pass of
ijriencoe. xne writer ot the letter sar
castically declared that "Melrose
abbey, having being roofed over with
slates and rendered somewhat present
able with a new coat of stucco, has
recently been converted into a young
men's reading room and mechanic?
institute. The abbey is lighted by an
installation of six Swan and Edison
burners, so that there is no longer any
necessity to visit it by the palo moon
light." Still further, the writer an
nounced that "Burns' cottage had been
pulled down to make room for a beer
house to be erected on tho site." The
old proverb says that many a true
word is spoken in jest, and I am sorry
to see in the Scotch papers a paragraph
referring to Burns' cottage at Ayr
which goes far to confirm the. pro
verb. The whole of tho contents of
the house and of "Alloway's auld
haunted kirk" are advertised for sale
at an upset price of 1,200; so that in
the event of none of the innumerable
admirers of the poet coming to the
rescue, tho various relics accumulated
at Ayr will be scattered. The trencher
from which he ate his kail, the chair
in which he sat, the bowl from which
he "supped his parritch," the table at
which he wrote all are to be sold.

appreciation; but, on the whole, I
venture to think we should not per
mit such a holocaust as this in the
case of relics of our leading poets.

in these hard times it is as well to bo
canny and careful; but surely there
