BED MAKING AND REEovATINe.-Allp parts of
a bed, mattress, blankets as well as sheets, soon
become foul and need publication. The mattress
needs the renovation quite as much as the
sheets. To allow the sheets to be used without
washin z or changing, three or six months, would
be regarded as bad housekeeping; but 1 insist IL
a thin sheet can absorb enough Of the excreiions
Of the body to make Ii unfit for use In few days,
q thick mattress, which can absorb and retain
a thousand times as much OF these poisonous
excretiors, needs to be purified a. often GER
tainiy as once In three months. A sheet can be
washed. A mattress cannot be renovated in this
way. Indeed there Is no way Of cleansing q
mattress but BY steaming IT, or picking il to
pieces, and thus In fragments exposing IL TO the
rays OF the sun. As these processes are ccaTeely
practicable with any of the ordinary mattresses,
i am decidedly OF the opinion that the good old
fashioned stTaw-oed, which can every three
months be changed for fresh straw, and the
tick he washed, is the sweetest and healthiest
OF beds II, in the wintry season, the porous
mess OF the straw-bed makes IL 3 little I'M
comfortable, spread over IL comforter or two
wooden blankets, which should be washed as
often es every two weeks. With this arrange
ment, n you wash all the bed coverings as often
as once In two or three weeks, you will have
delightful healthy bed. Now IL you leave the
bed 10 air, with open windows during the day,
and not make 10 mp for the night before even
ing, you will have added greatly to the sweet
ness OF your rest, and, in Consequences, to the
t9ps Of Jour hsalth.-Rxral New Yorker,

Training for the Stage.

A SCHOOL FOR THE CULTIVATION OF MA
CRRADYs AND FORESTS AND oUgCICAULTs
THE ALPHABETs OF THE SOCK AND BUsKIN
Thousands OF boys kindled with dramatic fire
while reading the following advertisement:
"WAETBD-20 boys TO be fitted for the theatri-
cal stage, at 80 cents per week; rehearsal every
Monday and Thursday evening.
ALERT, 242 Spring ST."
A large percentage OF the boys fastened to
2i2 Spring street and falteringly set forth their
histrionic qualifications before NJ. Albert, a
neatly-dressed and pleasant Frenchman. The
aspirants were examined in q rear apartment of
the first story, which was d min Azure theater.
Some of them were too loud voiced; others spoke
hardly above the key of ordinary conversa alton.
Those against whom neither lack nor excess
was chargeable were ludicrously awkward or
hopelessly dull.
Patiently NJ. Albert sifted the would be &C.
tors, occasionally approving one who seemed
more susceptible of Improvement than bis com
peers. A mischievous boy, whose clothes had
long been too short, stepped forward, and draw
ing the back OF his hand across his mouth, said
TO Nj. Albert:
"I'm Johnny Dupuy, late of the Grand Duke.
| was the end man, but sometimes did tragedy.
I'll show yer some of it," Thus speaking, John
nv FOLDED his arms, drew up his shoulders,
scowled, and stalked griInly from one end of
the little theater to the other.
"Here's Booth W his study" said he,
snatching up play book, assuming an air of
profound melancholy, and beginning to pace
solemDly up and down, occasionally saving the
air with his grimy hands. Then Johnny sang,
''I'm going TO get home in Jordan" to tho
intense delight of his applauding juvenile audi
tors, many of whom had often been moved 70
laughter by Johnny when he was the star or
the Grand Duke.
"I'n take you," said NJ. Albert to Johnny.
"and now who is next?"
81 am, sir" said little fellow in a faded
brown coat and skin-tight trousers with prepos-
ferrous seams. "Im Eugene Georget, wis used
TO act in the Grand Duke. Johnny and L sang
Jordan home together, and 1 can rattle the
bones some, L tell yer.'
And he did rattle them, too, and evoked from
them queer noises that threw his boy audience
into commissions OF laughter.
"You will do" said Nj. Albert, and gratihed
Eugene took his place among the elect 1T John
ny DupUy's side.
A tresh-colored and wetl.attired youth, prob
ably about II years of age, announced his abili-
~ TO portray the many shaded character of the
Prince of Denmark. "a little more than kind
ard less than kind ~ he beloved, in the tone of
the foreman of fire company.
"That will do for the present." interrupted
M. Albert; ''there's no weakness in your voice,
at any rate"
After twenty-five boys had been chosen, NJ.
Albert dismissed the unsuccessful applicants,
and organized his classes. He hes been engaged
twelve years IN training boys for the stage. He
hrs an extensive acquaintance among mana
gers, and they engage his best pupils as they
become fitted Tor the lighter parts Of popular
plays. "The Wagner Star Troupe" now tray
cling through the west, are graduates from his
school.-N. T.Sup, 7h.
