THE AMERICAN BEE-KhEPER. 



things in the Christmas number of 

 Frank Leslie's Weekly were the pic- 

 tures by him, and this week's issue of 

 this popular paper has a most capital 

 illustration of a NeAV Year's dinner on 

 a transatlantic steamer. Among oth- 

 er striking pages are those devoted to 

 the tunnel under the Hudson River, 

 which is now in the hands of an Eng- 

 lish syndicate. There is also a page 

 devoted to the water-works system of 

 Denver, Col. A great many people 

 have asked about the graphological 

 chart to which the .subscribers to the 

 monthly edition are entitled. All that 

 one would have to do in order to have 

 his character read would be simply to 

 copy these lines, if nothing else, and 

 send SI to the Arkell Weekly Com- 

 pany, and he would receive the month- 

 ly edition of Frank Leslies Weekly, 

 the graphological chart, and an order 

 on Peter Henderson for $\ 25 worth 

 of rose or chrysanthemum plants or 

 flo.ver seeds. This offer is good until 

 June 1st, 1892. 



MARGARET FULLER. 



Margaret Fuller, a very plain woman, 

 with what struck me as a hump-back, 

 was the oracle. I believe my youth- 

 ful love of beauty caused me to do her 

 injustice. She had a very long neck, 

 which Dr. Holmes afterwards describ- 

 ed as resembling " the great ophidian 

 who betrayed our Mother Eve," and 

 perhaps her habit of craning it caused 

 me to think her slightly deformed. 

 But all was forgotten when she began 

 to talk. It was a long, low ripple of 

 fascinating and well-rounded senten- 

 ces, a certain originality in the use of 

 words, and that Cambridge pronunci- 

 ation which I have always admired. 

 Mr. Everett and Mr. Longfellow had 

 it. Miss Fuller gave lessons in the 

 art of conversation afterwards, and 1 

 am sure every girl who attended them 



has talked better ever since. Although 

 an intense egotist herself, Miss Fuller 

 uttered the wise axiom, " Never talk 

 about yourself, your diseases, your 

 domestics, or your dresses. Talk about 

 your friend's interests, not your own." 

 She also said (and how good it was !) 

 "To have unity, one must have units: 

 one can not be unanimous alone." She 

 was an original thinker; and after I 

 heard of her romantic marriage, her 

 tragic death as Marchioness Ossoli, I 

 was grateful for the privilege of hav- 

 ing once touched this sparkling mind.
