BERNHARpT's STORIES She tells,
incidentally, the following story Of her
self: lin reply, one day in London, to
the many fattering utterances from q
crowd of British admirers in the green
room of the Gaiety theater, she said:
"To act that part person should be
young and handsome" To which
Lord, who had been warmest in
her praise, replied: "Ah, madam, You
are complete proof of the contraryl"
She related anecdotes of the Theater
Francois and of the managers of Paris.
A certain Bohemian author, tired Of
having his manuscript returned to him,
copied one OF Moliere's comedies and
sent it under another name to half a
dozen managers, all of whom declined
it with thanks as not adapted to the
French stage. One manager was
more gracious than the others. He
sent the piece back with q note saying
that he had read it with much pleasure,
but regretted that the funds at his dis
posal would not permit him to produce
the work of debutant at this moment,
but he hoped on some future occasion
to be able to do justice to the talent OF
the young author.

PUFF PAsTE.-Weigh an equal guam
tisy of butter with as much best flour
as you deem necessary; mix little
butter with the flour, and moisten only
sufficiently with water to make it into o
stiff paste; roll it over, put all the but
ter over it in slices, turn in the ends,
and roll it thin. Let this be done
twice, but do not touch it more than
can be possibly avoided. The butter
may be added in twice by novices. 1t
should be made as quickly as possible.

worlds as this. Yet if man has been

that impossible towel which will take
the soup ont of his eyes, how little does
he think of this great mathematical
fact Indeed, if you were to improve
that moment to take him by the arm
and tell him OF it, the chances are that
what you would get wouldn't resemble

liberal standpoint.

in this locality than ever before in sim

this week three kinds of vegetables, beans,
okra and squashes. 1t is sheer nonsense
Tor one to say that vegetables in the Fall
are without profit. Mr.. Wright is an
experienced gardener, and intends to ship
the year round. He has now fulI-grown
tomatoes on his vines just beginning to

average citizen as the party passed over
the gardens and yards. Of course the

route, and the right of way will hardly be

will enable the company to foresee the
advantages this section offers. There is
no part of Florida in which road can
be built at less expense than in this
county.
