A Good Judge OF Novels.

You are fond of nOvel-reading,' -
said Aurelian SchOll the other day, rs
he saw the coachman he had just en-
gagged stow away formidable volume
of romances beneath the seat. "Yes,
sir; have read a great many novels,
and l am disguised to observe the uni
form ignorance of their authors as to the
cOmmOnest affairs of everyday life.
For instance, here is one story in which
l read: The Prince appeared agitated
on hearing these words, and hailing a
carriage flung himself into it, casting his
purse to the driver and cried, ''Drlve me
to the Faubourg st. HOnore!"' Then a
few lines further on see this: sValen-
tine resolved once for all to solve the
mystery, and hurrying to the stand
sprang into the first vehicle that pre-
sented itself, and flinging her pocket
book to the coachman said, s'FollOw yOn
carriage."' Now, sir, have been driv-
ing hack in Paris for 40 years, and
I've driven thousands of peOple-all
sorts of people under every Imaginable
condition, clipping lovers, Jealous wives,
levanting cashiers, and so On-and, so
help me st. Fiacre! never in the course
Of - professional career has \ fare
thrown re his or her purse or pocket
book. No, sir; they have just given me
35 sous-sOmetimes it was the round 2
francs, but very rely.''-Boston
Courier.

A Caution About Shot In Game.

This being the season when game
killed by shooting, and probably con-
tanning the pellets, is eaten, it may be
worth while to caution those who con-
sumo the flesh of birds with avidity that
the proportion of instances in which shot
is found is probably small in compare
son with the number of cases in which
the pellets are unwittingly swallowed.
It is a matter of speculation how much
mischief a shot may do when passed in
to the intestines, but the fact that anom-
alous diseases have been set up BY the
presence of very small bodies which
have become entangled in the folds of
the mucuOus membrane renders it de-
sirable to put the public on their guard.
Occasionally the most disastrous results
have followed such small causes. We
have in recollection the case of a physi-
clan who died after prolonged and I'M
explained sufferings, from the impaction
of . very small nail which had found its
way into a pudding, and was inadvert-
emily swallowed. A little care will
avoid this contingency, but, remember
ing that the bird had been shot, some
pains ought certainly to be taken to
avoid swallowing the missile.-Lo,adon
Lancet.

The Art Of Acting.

Mrs. John Drew of the Philadelphia
Arch Street Theater, speaking of the
simulated emotion of actors, lately said :
:" Undoubtedly an actor could grasp y
situation more readily and represent it
more effectively if he had once been in
the same position in real life. But how
seldom is this the case. Some of the
most inhuman villains / ever knew-On
the stage-are pleasant, mild-mannered
men in private" A listener reminded
Mrs. Drew of Manager Bernard Macau-
ley's criticism of Mary Anderson, that
she " owed her success to her remarka-
BILE beauty and power of pOrtraying
characters and passions which she really
had no idea Of" and might become q
great actress after she had been once in
love. Mrs. Drew responded: "Miss
AndersOn's greatest fault is thought by
some members of her profession to be
want of concentration. They say that
she is capable of turning round in the
middle of an impassioned scene to make
some frivolous remark to a brother act
or. Mfr. Macauley's argument is good,
but a good many examples might be
cited to prove the contrary. Every one
has heard Of Miss O'Ncil. Forty years
ago, when she was at the pinnacle of
fame and success, she was not only I'M
married, but her habits and tempera-
ment Were antagonistic to those natural
to a mother. Yet one of her strong
points was in pOrtraying a mothers ten
der love and devotion. Mrs. Bateman
has achieved great success in roles re-
quiring nice appreciation of senti-
ments foreign to her nature. Many peo-
pie who have suffered all the pangs of
poverty would be mere sticks if put on
the stage to act the part of hero or
heroine who was supposed to be suffer-
ing from just such straits. An actor, to
carry his audience with him, must be
capable of imagining wildly any char
acter he impersonates; actual expert
ence is of no use to him, but imagina-
ton and self-forgetfulness are indis-
pensable.''

Long Telephone Lines.

We learn that it is the intention of the
Bell Telephone Company of this city to
secure telephone connections in short
time with both Buffalo and Syracuse.
The wires of the new American Union
Telegraph Company which are now be-
ing put up along the line of the Erie
Canal are to be used for this purpose.
1t will then be possible to talk from
Buffalo to Syracuse, or vice versa, a dis
lance of about $50 miles. The longest
telephone line in the State to-day is the
line between HemlOck Lake and this
city, but when such line as that pro-
posed between Buffalo, Rochester and
Syracuse is established, that will be the
longest probably in the country. Some
seem to express doubts of the successful
working Of such long line, but we are
informed that test is to be made in q
few days between here and New York
City, the wires of the new telegraph
company to be used. We see no reason
why long line like this should not
work as well rs short line. The line
between this city and Hemlock Lake
works admirably since it was fitted up
with the improved telephones and trans
mitters, and if line works well a dis
lance of 80 miles, why should it not
work just as well distance of several
hundred miles? 1t may be, perhaps,
that the induction of electricity at the
latter distance will not be SO great as to
interfere, but the proposed test will soon
settle the matter. At any rate, there is
little question but that Buffalo, ROches-
ter, and Syracuse will soon be united by
telephone. dorchester Union.

With dainty step sweet Jessie went
Sweet Jessie loyeliest maid!
The south wind blew upon her hair,
And tossed It from her forehead fair,
And I'm its tresses played;
And dyed her cheek with roster hue
Sweet Jessie, radiant maid!

Stood jessie glowing like the morn,
And shyly, half afraid,

The very small boy is usuall

The very small boy is usually
staggerer for any philosopher. The
Newark Call says little Willie Warren
is boy of this SORT He is very small
boy, just beyond the limits of babyhood.
His precociOusness is well recognized by
those that know him, and sometimes
people try to corner him in a logical
way. The other day some one took him
up and asked him il he was papa's boy.
He answered yes. "And are you man.
mas boy, tOO?" eyes," replied VIII
lie. "Well, how can you be papa's
boy and mammals boy both at the same
timer" was asked him. "Oh,'' re-
piled Willie, indifferently, "can't q
wagon have two hOrses?" That settled
his questioner.

"SuppOse we look up all the wonder
full caves in the world" Ruth had said,
after an evening with that of Elcphanta,
illustrated by some photographs sent by
friend in Calcutta. "The Giants
Causeway isn't exactly cave, but there
are some beautiful views of it. Wen
have that for next time"
"But don't know how" said Sam,
who usually acted as Spokesman. 81

"You shall find out, = said Ruth; and
on their next evening she had the great
atlas, the encyclopedias, and . volume of
Bayard TaylOr's travels in which full
account was given. The boys looked
askance at the books, but soon found
they were not enemies but friends. Ruth
had one or two of the wild legends con-
nected with the spot, and told them with
so much dramatic effect that Harvey
Brown declared he would not dare to 90
through the long bridge alone.
" It's mighty like q geography lesson"
said Tom Anderson, who had regarded
the whole thing with grave suspicion,
" but it's tho jolliest geography lesson 1
ever heard. shan't object no more"
Full of misgivings before each fresh
attempt, success seemed to wait upon
each. Ruth smiled inwardly as her au-
dience grew, and she came to have all
the boys from Is to 20 that the neigh
borhOOd afforded. The widest rumOrs
were current. She played cards with

A deacon in the Congregational
Church, and with q sheaf of doctrines
handed down from his father and des-
tined in turn for Sam, who would never
listen three minutes to their expound-
ing, the good man shook his head sOr-
rowfully and added one or two more
clauses to his daily prayers. The mother
and he sat contentedly by the little stove
in the sitting-rOOm. She darned and
patched and turned, with the
lifelong habit of saving as strong
now when its need was past rs in
the early days. They took the county
paper, and had few books bought from
persistent bOOk-agents, but there was no
sense of brightness and cheer in the mar
row quarters, and Sam shot out after
tea and could never be found till bed
time. Even the dingy kitchens of the
Canadians were better than his own
home, for there at least were jest and
or dance suddenly impro-
vised If Baptiste appeared with his fid-
die. This was bad enough, the father
thought, but when Sam was discovered
playing cards with the Brown boys in
the barn bOundless indignation had its
way. Sam was thrashed and ordered
not to 60 near them, and the cards went
into the kitchen fire.
The natural result followed. Out
