Invention to Dispose OF Troublesome
Callers

TUE Baltimore american Saws that Mr..
John Kelly, the stage manager of the
Academy Of Music, has improvised sn in
genious arrangement for keeping the
stage entrance clear of loungers, who are
prOmpter's side, fronting the passage,
which is the only means Of entrance and
exit available without crossing the stage.
The circumstance that during every per.
Torrance man is stationed at the electric
apparatus to regulate the lights in the au.
ditOrium has been utilized by directing q
wire from the battery to the floor of the
passage, which is covered with zinc.
When several persons stop in the passage,
blocking it up, the man at the battery
touches knob, and instantly lively cur
rent of electricity is communicated to the
zinc, and as quick as lightning the loun-
gers are bounced of, their ridiculous an
tics resembling the jerky movements Of
one of those wooden supplejacks that
children amuse themselves with. This
arrangement is found far more effective
than all the large posters that could be
hung up. In case If fire it would be very
advantageous. Inasmuch as q number
of housekeepers and ladies who receive
numerous calls have had convex mirrors
placed outside of the sec0nd-stOry win
dows, so that they can tell who is vt the
door by glaHcing at mirror, it would not
be a bad idea to have . small electric bat
terry connected with strip of zinc fas-
tened on the doorstep. By such an ar.
rangement bOOk-agents, SOAP pedGlers and
hucksters could be disposed OF effectually
and without any annoyance.

japanese Audiences.

AH tie Year Round givcs the follow
ing rafting description of the stage and
audience business in Japan: Free.and.
easiness is the great characteristic 0l
japanese audiences. During the per.
torrance everyone smokes, eats aud
drinks; criticisms are very audibly ex-
pressed, conversation and chaff are very
general, people come in and 90 out as
they like; if the weather be hot, super
fluOus raiment is laid aside sans ceremonie:
coolies enter with their implements Of
trade, and reeking with the dust and
sweat Of the day, much in the same ~
that one may observe peasants sl0uching
into continental cathedrals for few min
utes' prayer. On the stage the same nom
chalance ID apparent. If an actor be not
"word perfect" the prompter follows
him about without the slightest attempt
to disguise; . stage carpenter, wanting .
light for his pipe, does not hesitate to
crawl in front Of one of the actors and
take one from the stage candles; men
who are killed" during the play are al
lowed to make their exit behind piece
of black cloth, boldly brought and held
up by boy, and mo- hitch or accident
ever justifies the drawing across of the
curtains. Applause takes the form Of
wild shrieks-m0s frequently the name
of the actor. Dissent and disapprobation
are invariably expressed by loud and
long continued chatting and hooting.

In different parts of England broad Or

is in favor of broad rings, as the most

Scenes tn Cairo.

THE traveller who desires to see the Mo.
hammedan ct home cannot do better than
to seek him in Cairo, and he finds in the
narrow, picturesque streets of the old
parts Of the town scenes of interest which
he may seek in vain elsewhere. When
he cnerges into the modern quarters the
change is remarkable. Though al the
ty ranny of the Turks has not sufficed to
alter the indelible characteristics of the
place, and though the wide squares. the
fountains, the gardens, the arcades, the
watered roads, the rows of villas have q
half French look, the people who crowd
every thOroughfAre are as unlike ANYTHING
European as they can be.
Here, long string of groaning camels,
led by q Bedouin in q white capote, car
ries loads of green clover or long fagots
of sugar-cane. There, half.a.d dozen blue.
gowned women squat idly in the middle
of the roadway. A brown.skinned boy
walks about with no clothing on his long,
lean limbs, or Y lady smothereL in volu.

veil, and her knees nearly a. high rs her

hind half drawn blinds, some fine lady of

Is accompanied perhaps by little boy
In European dress, and by 4 governess or
nurse, whose bonnet and French costume
contrast strangely with the yelled figure
opposite.
A still greater contrast Is offered by the
appearance of the women who stand by
- the carriage passes, whose babies are
carried astride on the shoulder, or s0me-
times in the basket so carefully balanced
upon the head. The baskets hardly differ
from those depicted on the walls of the
ancient tombs, and probably the baby,
entirely naked and its eyes full of black
flies, is much like what its ancestors were
in the days of the Ph0rcahs. In the older
quarters of the town the scenes are much
the same, only that there is not so much
room for observing them; for the streets
are seldom wider than Paternoster Row,
and tbs traveller who stops to look about
him is roughly jostled by Hindbad the

His Postal Card.

AT ten O'Clock yesterday forenoon a
man wearing n doubtful look appeared at
the stamp clerks window in the Post
Office, and asked for q postal card and IA
cllities for writing. He was a long time
getting ready to put his pen to the card,
and he had only made q stroke or two
when he called out:
How do you spell sJim?'"
"Why, Jim, Of course" answered the
clerk.
Don't look as if it was right" said
the man, as he held up the card and scru-
tinized the word. "Sure you haven't

An Uncommon Beauty.

Gle, that is, straining joints, swelling
veins. or sending too much blood there
for the requisite pallor; so that, there
being nothing to increase its size or red
ness, it has remained small and white,
and the habit of whiteness and symmetry
has become congenital, and has been
handed down, like any other habit of the
body, from parent to child, till, when we
see such hand, we read in it long story
of ancestral wealth and elegance.
In this country there are few people
whose ancestors, as far back as their great
grandparents, have been always exempt
from some sort of handiwork. And, in.
deed, our general diffusion Of comfort has
depended in great measure upon every
ones doing something; and the women of
the land, except for the small minority,
are universally employed in sewing, house
work, writing, handling goods, even those
mh0 teach doing some Of the first; so that
we do not very often inherit any peculiar
whiteness or smallness of the hand, to be-
gin with. And if we are ever 90 idle our
selves, that will not undo the work of past
generations; while even if by idleness,
should it begin early, we may succeed in
keeping our hands tOlerably white and
shapely, we seldom have them small.
And we presume there are few willing to
purchase this white hand by sacrifice of
conscience and an indulgence in forbid.
den incidence.
Although the American foot is famous
for its small size, the American hand does
not correspond, and the glove-makere
abroad are obliged TO make the fingers Of
our gloves larger than those for any other
market. In the Southern States the hand
is smaller than in the Northern, which, as
general thing, is owing to the fact that
slaves have done all there was to do there.
The glove, however, is not an exact cri-
terion, AZ there are many people who
really do not know how to glove them
selves.
Still there are exceptions to all rules.
and flaws in all theories. We have seen
great beauties with verv Indifferent hands
that it took all the gems and gold possible
to disguise: we have seen washerwoman
with q hand that might be the lost one of
