Actresses Expenses.

BOucicault being interviewed said:
1 think the ladies are uuderpaid. A
leading actress provides on an average
three new dresses for each new pIav.
If five new plays should be produced in
a season she must purchase fifteen new
dresses. These on an average cost
S125 each, including shoes, stockings
and hats. Here isan expense of 81, SIS,
making in a season of thirty-six weeks
$50 a week to be expended out Of her
salary on dressing alone. The actor
requires no such outlay. Therefore,
if a leading actor receives $50 a week
he gets half as much again as a leading
lady at the same salary. The New
York audiences require finer scenery
and costumes than the London public
are contented with. Mr.. WaIlack spent
5000 on the scenery, furniture and
costumes Of my cOmedy-'Marriag "
The profits Of the first eight nights re-
paid the whole Of it.

A COnsecrated Garnet,

A marriage was celebrated a while
ago in st. Augustine's Church, Shaw
street, Liverpool, and as a part of the
preparations, Mr.. William Stevens, up
hOlsterer, received orders from the
brides mother to lay down a roll Of
crimson baize, from the door Of the
church along the aisle to the place
where the important and interesting
ceremonies were to take place. After
the ceremony Mr.. Stevens went TO take
up his crimson cloth from the aisle with
a aYiew to carrying it way. HesucceGd-
ed in getting it into a roll, which Id
shOuldered, and got the length of the
door, when he was suddenly pulled up
by the sexton, who seized the cloth, and
told him to leave it in the church. The
owner naturally asked the reason Of
this stOppage, and the answer was to
the effect that the cloth having been
brought into the church and used there.
had been made holy according to his
theory, and having thus been conse-
Grated, could not again be removed
without an act of sacrilege being COM
miLted. An ecclesiastical "tug Of war"
then began between the representative
of the church militant and the rightful
owner Of the goods. Each managed to
seize the baize a few yards apart, and
began pLlling it with might and main
the sexton to get it inside, and Mr..
Stevens TO get it outside the sacred ed.
ifce. The "tug" took place just at the
door of the church, and a large crowd
soon gathered to witness the move:
contest of right against might. The
people Cheered and laughed; some cried
Isl Gme," but meanwhile the two COM
Oatants continued to pull with all their
strength until it became evident that
very soon there would be nothing but
shreds and patches to fight about. Mr..
Stevens, after employing his powers of
persuasion and other means to no pur-
pose for long time, at length left the
cloth under protest, and it was deposit
ted in the Yestry to await further steps
which he will takB.

Treasure Mining.

1t may seem incredible to the ordina-
~ reader, says the Germantown Tele-
graph, yet it is a fact, that we have
within our present National territories,
far greater riches Of gold and silver
that are not mined at all, thar all the
known and producing mines yield. In
Arizona and New Mexico these unde-
velOped resources are immense, and the
mines now known in our other terrific
ries are but few in comparison with the
aUriferOUs and aTgentifeTOus treasures
that lie neglected. In Colorado and
Nevada there are no obstacles to the
opening and working Of the mines. In
Utah the MOrmOns are no longer able
to prevent the increase of tho mining
element. In Idaho, Montana and Da-
kotah the trouble is with the Indians,
If the Indians could be managed peace
fully and the westward emigration
movement revived, the production of
both metals would undoubtedly be very
greatly increased. Should silver re-
cover from its depreciation, as il may
do when the German government sales
cease, the demand would undoubtedly
stimulate a large extension Of silver
What appears at present to
be most needed is large increase Of
the product of gold. 1t seems to escape
that gold and silver are
blended in tue ores, and that of the me-
tails produced by the mills at the Neva-
da mines from forty TO fifty per cent is
gold. There is a great decline in the
production Of the California gold mines,
and yet they are said to be scarcely
half-worked. New Mexico is very rych
in gold mines, mostly undeYeloped.

Folk Lore About Animals.

In a new work on the sdbject, NJ. Eu-
gene ROLAND tells Of a variety Of
French supersGGOns and ancient be-
Iiefs respecting well-knOwn animals.
The were wolf lfiegends are still in force
in Normandy, and certain annual OBJ
seTvances among the peasantry have
reference thereto. The brains of a
rabbit are said to be unfit for food. be-
cause they occasion loss of memory.
This notion is founded on the belief
That the rabbit runs fOOIishly into
known dangers, on account of a fee
bic memory; whence, also, to reckless
deeds the adjective "hare-brained" is
applied. White ferrets are believed BY
the Norman peasants to be the souls of
of unbaptized infants. A hint for our
Western agriculturists may be taken
from 4 custom in Aisace; when grass
are too numerous there, they
are put to fight, it is said, 10y hanging
a few bats on the highest trees in the
But, perhaps even if
the bats could be provided, it would
be difficult to find the high trees on our
Western pTaiTies; and it is by no means
certain that our Rocky Mountain 10
Gust has a due reverence for bats.

deceased Shaker, puts on drab leaves

the case may be, characterized by a sort
Of neutral flavor which is recognized as
peculiarly Shakerian. The ingenious
Elder has now a large orchard full Of
dead brothers and sisters, under whose
shade he walks on summer afternoons,
and whose fruit he tastes on winter
evenings. Occasionally a sister pre-

Voyage OF Manufacture,

The produce of the factories has pre-
ceded even our most enterprising traV-
elers. Capt. ClappertOn saw at the
court Of the Sultan BellO, in the inte-
riOr of Africa, pewter dishes with the
London stamp, and had at the royal
table piece of meat served up OIL a
white wash hand basin of English man
ufacture. The cotton of India is con-
Yeyed by British ships round half our
planet, to be woven by British skill in
the factories of Lancashire. It's again
set in motion by British capital and
transported to the very plains whereOn
it grew, and is repurchased by the lords
of the soil which gave its birth, at a
cheaper price than that at which their
cOarser machinery enables them to
manufacture it themselves. At CAL
Cutta, in the East Indies, whence the
cotton cloth called calico derives its
name, the price of labor is a fraction of
that in England, yet the market is sup.
piled from British looms.

The Make.BeIiere Shower.

mamma, can't go out, if I'll pro.
mise not to go outside the gateP"
Poor little Sally thought nothing
could ever harm her if she only stayed
in the yard.
'NO, Sally" said Mamma, ''nOt Ous
doors to-day, but We'll play it is rain
ing here III the nursery, and We'll make
little house so as not to get wet.
Now, hurry, or we shall not get ready
before the rain begins"
So they went to work.
"I want your high chair, Sally"
So while the little girl went for hel
chair, Mamma pinned together two
shawls. Then she took four common
chairs and set them in a square and put
the baby-chair in the centre.
"Hurry, hurry, Sallyl"
o, how hard they workedl Sally
brought all her dolls, for, of course,
they mustn't get wet, and Mamma put
the shawls over the chairs, and there
was a splendid house all ready fol-
them.
"Get in quick, Sally" said Mamma.
''for I almost think 1 felt a drop of rain
on my nose."
So Sally got down on her hands and
knees and crawled in between the
chairs.
"YOu must come too, Mamma" she
said; ''see, can sit right up straight" "
Mamma was one of the dear, good
mammas who are always willing to play
real baby fashion, and so she crept in
too.
"Harkl" said Mamma, rs she made
believe hear to the male-believe rain. ."
20, dear. dear" said Sally suddenly,
"there is one-eyed Susie in the corner.
I put her there for being naughty, and
now she'll get wet and catch her death
Of cOldI"
Susie, the One-eyed doll, had lost the
other eye when she tumbledOn the back
of her head one day. The gone eye was
never found.
'IwOnder if I can't get her in before
it rains, Mamma? See any blue skyP"
''Not bit," said Mamma, putting
her head out between her shawls and
looking all about, first at the bookcase
and then at the picture over the lounge
and then at the ceiling.
mo, Sally, I don't see a single bit of
blue sky" and then Mamma growled
very loud, to make believe that it was
laundering!
There sat poor little Susie in the
corner, all alone, while the other dolls
were safe and sound in the shawl
house.
"Better hurry, Sally" said Mamma,
"just hear it thunder!" and she made
the same noise again.
So Sally pulled aside the shawls and
ran out between the chairs, but just as
she got to the corner where the dolly
was she cried.
20, Mamma, Ifelt some make-beneve
rain right on my nose"
so, hurry, hurry" cried Mamma, OF
you'll both be wet"
So Sally took the doll by one leg, and |
scampered back to the shawl-house.
But just before she reached there she
tumbled right over the table leg, and |
down she came on top of the shawls, !
covering poor Mammaall up; and Sally |
laughed so hard about it, and had such |
fun pulling Mamma out from the tum-
ble-dOwn house, that she forgot all |
about the rain, and all about the hard |
bump sho gave herself right on the |
knee.

Boiler demonstrations.

a paper recently read by NJ. Lesuer
before the French Academy Of Sci
enCes contains valuable suggestions on
the use of zinc as a preventive Of scale
in steam boilers. Its effect is to pre-
ventth adherence of scale which easily
comes off, leaving the iron bright and
clean. The explanation of its action is
referred to the evolution of hydrogen
at the surface of the iron from The cleo
tricaI decomposition Of water in min
ute quantities. The quantity Of zinc
required is estimated at 2 lbs. per horse
power for very hard water, and t lb. for
ordinary water, and best results are OBJ
tained from zinc used in slabs instead
of small pieCes.
