Edwin Booth.

Edwin Booth, when not on the stage,
Is a great smoker. He never drinks any
alcoholic liquors. Tea is his only slim
ulant. He never attends late dinners or
suppers, and never has an ''Out. )" After
acting he is very much depressed and
likes to lie abed to recuperate during
much of the next day, In the parlance
of the day, Edwin Booth is q "re-
formed man. From the time Junius
Brutus Booth-his father-died in 1852,
until the assassination of President Elm
coin by his brother John, in 1865, Edwin
drank and drank hard. During the
greater portion of that time the three
most prominent, most talented and most
dissipated young men upon the Ameri-
can stage were VIM. Goodall, H. A.
Perry and Edwin Booth. Billy Goodall
and Harry Perry are both dead-victimG
of drink. The terrible act of his brother
John reused Edwin from folly. It is
generally believed that John Booth, the
assassin, was a very incorporate young
man, but such was not the case. It was
Edwin who "tossed the ruby johns
weakness was women. From the gay,
registering, reckless young madcap OF
twenty years ago, Edwin Booth is now,
and has long been, one Of the soberest
and gravest Of men. He is naturally Of
a morbidly melanchohO temperament,
and, since his change in habits, he de-
lights in nothing but his professional
duties on the stage, and the companion
ship of his family in the seclusion of his
home. Upon the street or in mingling
among men he is habitually wrapped ia
gloom. That he does not attend dinner
parties and the like In not strange to
those who know him, for he does not
care for society, and never Gd-not even
in his youth. His resting the day is
simply custom observed by nearly all
great actors. Celebrities like Mr.. Booth,
when in their own country, seldom at
tend rehearsals-ths only daily duty
they may have. Such work ia attended
to for them by subordinate, In the
same manner as John Mccullough used
to rehearss for Mr.. Forrest, in the clos
ing years of that great tragedian's life,
and az Mr.. James Oathcart did fer the
late Charles Kean. -ErchGnQC.

nOrSe1lesIl as Food.

The subject of using hOrsefesh as an
article of food has not received much at
tention of late, either at home or abroad.
But it is about to be revived here, it is
said, by q number of men who are per-
suaded that its adoption would benefit
the poor, because it could be furnished
at lower rate than beef They think,
too, that it is, if properly cooked, very
palatable, and would be enjoyed by
many persons were they not prejudiced
against it. Paris is the sole city where
hippophagy has been and is still practiced,
and where many Americans have from
pure curiosity eaten horse in various
! forms. In 1855 and 1856 the topic was
widely and earnestly discussed there,
with O view to introducing hOrsehesh
into the municipal makets. GeOfroy
St Hilaire, the eminent naturalist, gave
the matter due consideration, and de-
clared in a public lecture that such food
is wholesome. A hippophagic society
was formed by some of the most en-
thusiastic Frenchmen, and they met
periodically at dinner over divers elaborate
dishes whose foundation was horse.
Some fourteen years ago horse was
regularly and authoritatively introduced
/ into market; special abattOirs were APP
pointed for the slaughter of animals, and
certain rules made respecting the sale of
the meat. The beasts were killed in the
presence of a veterinary inspector, whose
duty is to stamp every joint of meat that
he has approved. Horses that were old
or worn out with work were not rejected,
only those that were uphealthful. The
same regulations still hold Many OF
the minor restaurateurs have horse on
their menus, and it is in fair demand
They arc obliged to ayow the fact, con-
cealment or deceit rendering them liable
to fine. They use horse mainly for
soup, bouillon and sausages, but it is
sometimes put into the most delicate
dishes; is so seasoned with condiments
and so disguised by culinary art as to be
relished by great gourmets. Some of
the artistic forms of hippophagy in Paris
are teJT'j1tes de fOie nsaigre, cheVGEi7les,
GLoyan de cheU0E faqci, cuIOtte dc cIeVal
braiSee, 3octits r1ates a la n1oeLle Bucep-

ale pied de cheVaLdu M1r0sQuias, zephirs
saaGtees o. phalile cheV0LeresQtte, quteau
Ueterinairc. Anybody who wants to test
hippophagy at its best must go to Paris
1t is not likely that horse viii ever be
eaten here to any extent, since beef, to
which it is certainly inferior, can always
be had in this country, even by the
poorest class.-NeaO York Times.

USEFUL HINTS.

To KEEP seeds from the depredations
of mice, mix some pieces of camphoK
with them. Camphor placed in trunks
or drawers viii prevent mice from doing
them injury.
To KEEP your knives and forks from
rusting, make flannel bag, and stitch
from top to bottom, an inch and q half
apart, dozen times, making a recepta-
Gle for each. Roll and keep in dry
place.
A TEAsPooEFUL of black pepper viii
prevent gray or buff linen from spotting,
if stirred into the water In which they
are washed. It will also prevent the
colors running, when washing black or
colored cambrics, or muslins, and the
water is not injured by it, but just as
soft as before the pepper was put in.
TT is always best to wash fannels,
calico dresses and aprons before the
white clothes are wet, especially if the
day is cloudy and threatening. Then II
it rains the white clothes can be rubbed,
soalded and left in the rinsing water,
and it is a small matter next day to wiring
them out, blue them, and hang them
out to dry.
To MAKE the hair stay in Orinap, take
cents worth of gum arabic, and add
to it just enough boiling water to dis
solve it. When dissolved, add enough
alcohol to make rather thin. Let this
stand oil night, and then bottle it to
prevent the alcohol from evapOrating.
This put on the hair at night after it Is
done up in paper or pins will make it
stay in crimp the hottest day, and is
perfectly harmless.
ONE can have the hands In soap suds
with soft soap without injury to the
skin, If the hands are dipped in vinegar
or lemon juice Immediately after. The
acids destroy the corrosive effects of the
alkali, and make the hands soft and
white Indian meal and vinegar or lem
on Juice used on hands when r9qgAened
by cold or labor will heal and soften
them. Rub the hands in this then
wash OFF thoroughly and rub in glycer-
inc. Those who suffer from chapped
hands in the winter will find this COM
forting.
MOST persons, when they come in from
the rain, put their umbrellas in the rack
with the handle upward. They should
put it downward, because when the ham
die is upward the water runs down in
side to the place where the ribs are
joined to the handle, and cannot get out,
but stays rotting the cloth and FHstlpg
the metal until slowly dried away. The
wire securing the ribs soon rusts and
breaks. If placed the other end up the
water readily runs of.

ELECTRICITY IN THE HUMAN BODY.

Most people are familiar with the "spark
which may be produced under certain con-
ditions by stroking the fur of a cat and
travellers in Canada and other cold, dry
countries have witnessed the still more
remarkable phenomenon of the human
body being turned into conductor of
electricity, and the possibility of lighting
the gas by merely placing ones finger
giving the necessary conditions of cleo
trical excitement-near the gas jet with
out auy other agency. a. W. Mitcheson,
the African traveller, who is engaged in
writing a narrative of his exploring ex-
peditions in Western Central Africa, gives
some still more startling facts. He states
that, one evening, when striking an
African native, in moment OF anger,
with cowhide whip, he was aston
ished to see sparks produced, and still
more surprised to find that the natives
themselves were quite accustomed to the
phenomenon. He subsequently found that
a very light touch, repeated several times,
under certain conditions of bodily excite
ment, and in certain states OF the atmos
phere, would prove succession of sparks
from the bodies of native men az well as
native cattle. A lazy negro, it seems,
yielded none of these signs of electricity, a
rather unfortunate circumstance for his
more active brethren, who may possibly
come in for share of undeserved fogging
from the hands of future travellers in search
of electrical phenomena among the human
race. We are not aware that these facts
have been recorded by other travellers, but
they certainly deserve thorough sitting by
competent observers. London Lancet.

THE DAILY REC0RD-UNI0N.
SOMETIME.

Sometime, when all lifes lessons nave peeh ieAineu
And sun and stars forever shall have set,
The things which our weak Judgment he'e H@'
spurned, ,..,,.s,,,+
The things DER which we grieved with lasnes Wet
WIN fash before US, out of lifes dark nlgnt.
AS stars shine most i'll deeper tnts OF DIue,
And we shall see how all Gods plans were rlght,
Ard how what seemed reproof was love most true
And vve shall see how. when frown and sigh,
Gods plans 20 Oh as best for you and me;
How; when we called. He needed not our cry,
Because His wisdom to the emo Souio see
And even as prudent parents dissilow
Too mich Of sweet to craving babyhood,
So God perhaps, is keeping from us now
ife's sweetest things because it seemeth good
And IL sometimes, commingns with LIES VINE,
We find the wormwood, and rebel and shrink,
Re sure a wiser hand than yours or mine
pours ont this portion for our lips to drink.
And II some friend we love is lying low,
where human kisses cannot reach his face,
on do not blame the LOVING Father SO,
But wear your sorrow with obedient grace
Aud vou shall shortly know that heightened breath
Is not the sweetest gift God sends His friend,
And that sometimes the sable pail OF death
Concsals the fairest bloom His love can send.
n we could push ajar the gates OF life,
And stand within and all Gods working see,
We could interpret all this doubt and strife,
And for each mystery could find key
Rrt not TO-DAY. Then be content, poor heart
Gods plans ike lilies, pure and white unfold 4;
We must not tear the close shut leaves apart;
Time will reveal the calyXes of gold.
And IT, through patient toll We reach the land
Where tired feet, with sandals loose, may rest,
When we shall clearly know and understand
] think that we will say, =" God knows best"

A STRANGE CURE.

Recently has gone the rounds Of newspa-
pers an improbable story of the cure OF a
nervous, painful affection OF rheumatic
nature, by an old tramp, who accom-.
plshed the wonderful feat by passing and
repassing the little chap several times over
the back OF jackass. This treatment was
repeated every day for nine days, during
which time it was observed that the ami
NAL gradually became i'll, while the child
improved, until at the end of the nine days
the jack succumbed to swollen limbs and
body, and the child was completely re-
stored. The story, Of course, was not
taken without salt, inasmuch as the popu-
lar impression is that while child, or even
man, would be perfectly cured of all
earthly ills by rubbing around the vicinity
Of mules hind propeliers, the pa
tient, for obvious reasons, wouldn't be
able to tell much about it afterward. The
case. however, is merely Introductory to
brief allusion to a cure which was effected
very similarly in the Fourteenth Ward re-
Gently. Some years ago coal miner
named Braun was afflicted so badly with
infammatory rheumatism in his hands and
arms that he was compelled TO seek
another way of earning a living Some
how he heard that handling doves would
effect cure, and he purchased number
Of the birds. These he would take up in
mis- hands, stroke and play with daily, and
the result was that the pair he thus manip-
ulated invariably became swollen up, first
in the legs and then in the body, precisely
as though they had the rheumatism.
Finally death would ensue. In proportion
as the doves became swollen Mr.. Braun S
affection decreased, and finally, after pur-
suing the strange treatment for some time,
he was able to keep himself wholly re-
heved from pain. He still raises doves for
the sacrifice, and winter and summer alike
he is able to pursue his business as dairy
man, which vocation he took up in lieu of
coal-digging some years ago. Il Pittsburg
Chronicle.
