Some of the London theatres are making
capital out of the loss Of the steamer Lon
don on which occasion the celebrated trage-
dian G. V Brooke, then eB route for aus
tralia, met his end. The terrific catastrophe
is represented with every fidelity Of detail
on the stage. The Surrey theatre brings
Brooke himself on the boards. and makes him
hold a touching soliloquy upon his unavoid-
able fate. 1t sounds almost incredible that
the widow of the deceased artist should have
taken a part in the performance of this
sensation piece, but this IS positively true.
She is an American, and well known By her
maiden name Of Avonia Jones on this side
of the Atlantic. The Brittania TheateF, at
Hoxton, jealous Of the success of its rival
of the Surrey, tried to out do the other by
making the loss Of the London still more true
to nature, and for this object engaged the
sailors saved from the wreck to take part in
the representation. This experiment draws
vast crowds to the doors, and the theater
can hardly hold the nightly audiences.
The merits Of these heroes are, of course,
very questionable, for their escape is due to
their having seized the only seaworthy boat
and left the rest to perish. This seems, how
ever, TO make them no less welcome to pub
lie curiosity

A Negleoted AZ.

The kitchen Is the heart of the kingdom,
the true seat Of government IN domestic
economies; who rules there, rules supreme.
A visit of ceremony. for a few moments at
a stated hour in the morning can confer no
authority whatever. Neither, on the other
hand, is it necessary to be meddling and
muddling there perpetua1ly, or to do any
thing contrary to the instincts Of a lady in
the way of espionage.
1t is simply this that by being actually
busted IN the kitchen q short time daily, bv
taking into her own hands the Management
and execution of those arrangements which
require the skill and involve the entire con-
troll of the housekeeping expenditure, u
mistress ehectually breaks the rod of power
IN her cooks hands, and can sweep away at
once the "perquisite system, the waste
and the dishonest understandings with the
tradesmen; because she is in a position to
know within little what Is really and hon
estly needed and consumed, and to give her
own orders.
Economy, however, Is not the sole benefit
to follow. There Is an old but not yet
superannuated maxim-if you want thing
well done, do it yourself The tangible re-
suits upon the dinneF-table would be no less
satisfactory than the reduced cost of their
production.
Nor is this a matter of slight Importance

occur exceptionally, to spoil his temper, or
if that be unspoilable, his comfort for the

to knock ten or dozen years off his lease of
life.
Then, too it is no small satisfaction to be
