MODEL WHO THINKS HAS A MISSION.

Tho model Is merely kiown as Mrs. Cook, al though It Is believed that she hides hor dentity behind a fictitious name. Sho belongs to a groat and over Increasing army of women who graduate In somo profession with a failure of trumpets and n shout of encouragement from friends and are never afterward heard of outside their own homes. Mrs. Cook passed thu ordeal of an examination for a medical degree.but speedily found that the sick and anilctcd of New York were not dying for want of women phy slclnns to nttend them. Sho then went Into the seclusion of married life, and found this a failure, too. for sho kV was loft a widow at 29 with a family of mreo cuiiuren to care for. Casting about for a means, of fllllnp tho little mouths, Mrs. Cook found that her features, which Btlll remained girlish and pretty, would do for her what her thin figure and arms would not procure her work as an artist's model. So far her caso does not dif fer materially from that of mnnv other models, as any artist knows. Tho eccentricity, so called, that speedily mado her conspicuous In the ranks of models wns her determined attempt to turn tho model throne Into tho pulpit at the expenso of tho artist. Her texts were: "Higher Spiritual Life" and "Lower Animal Fare." Ascetic herself to a degree, Mrs. Cook Is no very at tractive advertisement for tho cause she preaches, but she steadily pounds away on tho ovlls of meat eating dur ing tho progress of n sitting and pur sues her missionary work with a zeal worthy of a better field. Tho artist who hires tho modol knows that tho sitting would bo en livened by a sermon that would do ts. AN ARCTIC HIGHLANDER, it . ... " ...r. aiiii-rl i,.rll Took u Cut of HU UtiHt Under DiflUtiltlm. Mr. Allcrt Opcrtl, who w-d a mem ber of tho sixth Peary expedition, hns bad on cxh.bltion during tho last week the bust of a Cape Yor' nntlvc, or Arctic hlghlnndcr, tho term used by Sir John H003 In referring to this people, says tho New York Herald. It Is the result of a cast taken farther north than nny other heretofore. It ins an ethnological as well as an nrtist- ic interest. Mr. Opcrtl states thnt ho selected his model for his nlmost per fect anatomy and great strength. He also took cast of his limbs and torso. "He was the best hunter In a tribe of a rnco that Is possibly tho oldest on the face of the globo but which may bo extinct In 100 years more," said Mr. uperti yesterday. "Wo brought him on board our vessel, took him down In to the hold where It was warmest and, after a good denl of persuasion, with tho assistance of Lieut. Peary. I lnld him flat on his bnck, plnccd tho quills In IiIb nose nnrt paper over his eyes nnd then proceetled to pour the plaster of Paris over his face. Several attempts were unsuccessful, owing to the plaster freezing, the temperature being 23 de grees Fahrenheit, and tho material eight or ten degrees colder. The thumping of tho vessel against tho Ico floeB also rendered tho work moro uuiicuii ior me and very uncom fortable for my model, who, neverthe less, underwent his novel experience wjtn remarkable patience. Tho cast was made In Inglofleld gulf, which Is 78 degrees 24 minutes north. I am going to glvo the bust to Lieut. Peary. My model's race numbers moro than 250 persons. Mnny die every year from want of food. They are gentle In man ner and as a rule small In stature." The bust shows a head of rather large pro portions. The eyes nro decpset and the features generally stromr. Mr. Opcrtl has colored It to conform with tho natural hue of his model's skin, which is a light chocolate brown.

Many of tho artists tolerate tho preacher model for tho sake of her face, which makes a very Interesting study foV a certain class of pictures. After a particularly long sermon from tho model during tho progress of a recent sitting, tho artist who was tho victim on that occasion wns asked what ho thought of tho arguments. "Argument?" ho answered. "Was thero any? Oh, yes, sho talked and lied against meat eating and qucs ncd mo concerning my spiritual wel- re, and all tho time I was bothering ibout tho bones In her arms.

When once in, it is hardly possible to escape without help from above, and the warmth nt Dm body melts the Ico around, so that the victim slowly descends by tho weight of his own body Into tho depths of the glacier, and generally starves to death.

The namo of papyrollth Is given to a novelty In flooring material which has lately been invented by Otto Kraner of Chemnitz, Germany, tho nrtlclo being a special preparation of paper pulp which is in tno rorm or a dry powder. When mixed with water it may bo spread, iiko mortar, over stone, cement, or wood, where It dries quickly and may bo smoothly planed, besides which It may be tinted almost nny color, in this way adapting It for parquetry with variegated bordors, or for panels and mosaics. Among tho various advan tages claimed by tho Inventor for the uso of this product aro freedom from crevices, deadening of noises, and poor conduction of heat; nlsov considerable elasticity, safety from fire, and remark able durability. It may bo employed, too, for wainscoting and other archi tectural purposes as well as for floor ing. Our Colin. From Harper's Weekly: Pursuant to a resolution of tho last congress, the I'nuaucipnia mint is to begin this month to make experiments with new metals and combinations of metals to dotermlne whether any Improvement can bo made in our present copper and nickel coinage. It may give us alumi num cents In place of the coppqr pieces now In use, and possibly a now species of five-cent pieces, mndo entiroly of nickel, or perhaps half of nickel and half of copper. Thero Is bo slight a sug gestion of copper In tho present five cent pleco that It Is a surprise to read that 75 per cent of It Is copper and only 25 per cent nickel. The present cent contains 95 per cent of copper, 2 per cent of tin, and 3 per cent of zinc. Tho objection is mado to It that it la hard to distinguish by feeling hetweev a cent nnd a sliver ten-cent piece. ' When You Nneeze.

In tho tlmo of Gregory the Great the alt at a certain senson of tho year wat filled with a rank vapor or malaria and thoso who sneezed wcro stricken with sudden death. Gregory devised 8 prayer to bo uttered when tho parox ysm of sneezing was felt approaching In hope it would nvort death, and thii ejaculation is a survival of It. Great reBUlts havo grown from a sneeze. Tin fato of tho Greek army was decided bj a sneeze.

Whiteside and his lifo mato camo west tho rlco that was showered on them In tho cast was shaken out of tho folds of the bride's dress on tho Belvedere's deck ns tho vessel steamed through tho Goldon Gato and pointed her bows toward tho north. The whaler reached tho Arctic Just as tho winter lco was breaking up, and for three months of tho sum mer sho cruised, but with very little success. Then came a winter of nearly nlno months, when tho vessel wns frozen in tho Ico with a dozen others of the whnlinc fleet at Horsrlioi Island. As soon as the Ico broko sho was moving again, and beforo sho turned her bow for homo enough whales had been tnken to pay a neat "lay" to her officers and crew. "It was a delightful trip," said Mrs. Whiteside, recounting her advontures In the cozy cabin of tho whaler. "Thero was plenty or excitement and there were no moments of Idleness.

Bo Much the Tliotuaml Worclt, I have always figured to mysolf Trol lopo'n novels as all written on a long, endless scroll of paper rolled on an iron axis naiieu up In his study. Tho publishers approach to buy so many yards of fiction; tho shopman, Anthony, scissors In hand, unrolls the scroll and snips off at tho desired point.

Her father, tho Into Captain Eber It. Ward of this city, wns ono of Detroit's wealthiest citizens. When Clara was a mere Infant tho captain died nnd left Clnra's mother, who was IiIh second wife, rich In the goods of tho world. Mrs. Wnrd left Detroit and went to live in tho enst. When tho future princess wns C years old Mrs. Ward mnrrled Aloxnndcr Cnmcron, n lawyer living In the Canadian town of Windsor. Ho afterward became a bank er and grew to be a very wcnlthy num. Tho family moved to Toronto and re sided In that city until Clara was 14. Then her mother deemed it wise, for reasons known to herself, to take her daughter to Englnnd for her educa tion. Sho was sent to a young wo man's boarding school In London nnd wns tho despair of her tenchers. Her mother's immense fortune enabled tho daughter to Indulge In every caprice, nnd whllo nt school Clara spent money with a lavlshness that nnlned even tho daughters of tho rich English aris tocracy. Besides Miss Wind's father hnd left hor an Independent fortune, which at this tlmo was paying her a clear Income of 40,000 a year. MIbb Ward was restlvo under nil ro Btrnlnt nnd longed to bo at perfect liber ty to spend her money In her own wny. It was this dcslro that brought about tho marrlngo with Prince do Chlmay do Caraman. In 1890, when Clara was Just 17, sho paid a visit to Paris with her mother. Sho and Prlnco Joseph met nt n dinner given by tho mother. Prlnco Joseph proposed, and the girl objected at first.
