Tony Pastor In Trouble.

Tony Pastor, of New York, who is now with
his inimitablc variety combination, making
tour OF the principal cities of the Union, is
recognized as the leading character vocalist
and variety performer of the United States.
He owns and runs a first-class theater on
Broadway, New York City, and has gathered
about him the best troupe of variety artists
that could be obtained. The company has
just completed brilliant engagement at the
Walnut Street Theater, Philadelphia, and aft
er the present tour they will reappear in Tony
PASTORS own theater in New York City. Mr..
Pastor is the originator of his peculiar school
Of character singing, and has made himself
immensely popular, having realized by his
talents q large fortune.
The writer of this article met Mr.. Pastor re-
Gently at the Bingham House, in Philadelphia,
and found him as genial in private as he is
amusing before the public. During our con
versation inquired as to his physical health,
and he replied that, notwithstanding the
strain upon him in the discharge of his pro-
fessional duties, it was excellent. He had oc-
easionally severe pains, either the result of
rheumatic attacks orcolds, but any complaints
of that character never troubled him long, as
he had found out remedy for all such annoy
ing dutIJlOuo. dohSu Nhas bhS ASAhStJ
was, and he replied, "St. Jacobs OIL" then
learned from Mr.. Pastor that he considered
the Great German Remedy an excellent prepa-
ration for the cure or relief of rheumatism,
and that it was about the only thing used
among professional people for that distressing
complaint. lie took bottles of it with him
whenever he went travelling, and would not be
without it, and knew that it was very popular
with o number of members of his own COM
pany. A conversation held subsequently with
various members OF the organization revealed
the fact that st. Jacobs OH had been perform
ing most invaluable service for them in the
way of curing them of rheumatism. Nearly
every artist in the troupe used it, and was en-
thusiastic in its praise, and the writer was
really forced to the conclusion that Tony
Pastor was certainly in luck in having so valu-
able an article known and employed by his
inimitably good company of performers. for it
enabled every one to be always in his place,
thus insuring comfort to the management and
genuine satisfaction to the public. Tony
Pastor would certainly be in trouble without
st. Jacobs Oil. At least, other managers
whose artists have been temporarily unsup-
Piled, have noticed the difference between st.
Jacobs Oil in stock and st. Jacobs OH out OF
stock-among the members of their compa-
nies.-N. Y Clipper.

Planting Trees Properly.

When tree is planted properly it is
pruned when needed, and little is
generally wanted. Good pruning is in
cluded in the proper planting of a tree.
A tree properly planted and pruned will
need but little heavy work afterwards if
"A little care be constantly given it, The
most of the pruning will be to regulate
the shape of the tree, and this can be
done mostly when the tree is growing
in the spring and summer time A lit
tie attention in the growing season goes
a great way. If bushier growth be
needed, the pinching OIL of shoot will

Summer pruning is the only kind to be
practiced to make a dense growth. In

Floor Cleaning.

There can not, / think, be doubt
that for the bedroom floor dry cleans
ing is always the best Water DESTROYS
the varnish on stained and painted
floors, making them patchy and dirty
looking; water destroys the evenness of
surface; water makes the adoption of
the waxed floor almost impossible; wa
ter when it is used often percolates into
the joints of the foor-boards. causing
them to separate and become holders of
dirt; and, lastly, if water be used for
cleansing, the chances are many in the
course of year that the room will be
washed on some damp and foggy day,
the boards will dry imperfectly, and,
though at bedtime they may be to APP
pearance dry, they will not be so entire
ly, while the air of the room will be still
charged with moisture; so that although
the sleeper does not get into damp
bed, he does get into damp bedroom,
which in some respects is equally inju-
rious.
1 have seen such very bad results from
damp sleeping-rooms, in which the
dampness of the air had been causedlby
washing the floors, that / do not press
the lesson | wish to enforce at all too
forcibly or earnestly.
When from any circumstance the
floor of the bedroom cannot have given
to it vanished or waxed surface
when, for example, the floor is con-
structed simply of deal planks-it may
seem to be absolutely necessary to
clean the surface with water. These
floors, moreover, are just the floors that
hold water the longest, and for all rea-
sons are least adapted for water
cleansing. How, then, it will be said,
are such floors to be cleansed? They
are most easily cleansed in one dry
way, viz, by dry scrubbing with saw
dust. The servant takes up small
pailful of clean, fresh saw-dust, and,
taking it out by handfuls, spreads it on
the iloor, and, with hard short
bristled brush, scrubs with the saw
dust as though she were using water it.
self. When the whole surface has been
scrubbed in this way, she sweeps up the
sawdust and finds beneath it Il beautiful,
clean and dry floor; or, if there be left
any part still dirty, she easily remedies
the defect by an additional scrub al
that part. When all is finished she
carries the dirty sawdust away, and de-
stroys it by burning it in the kitchen
fire. White sand may be used instead
of saw-dust for the same purpose, but il
is not so convenient, and is not so quicb
n cleanser as sawdust. The san,e
sand, if sand be used, can be applied
several times, if it be cleansed by wash,
ing and afterward heating ii over thC
fire until it is quite dry. Appleton',

Women at Monaco.


The most venturesome players, says a
foreign letter, are generally women.
Those radiant in tho most sumptous
Partisan toilets scat themselves with as
much serenity as ut ttheir own tea-table,
with heaps of gold Napoleans and bun
dies of 100-franc bills before them. They
win or lose with immovable composure,
| once watched q lady, who turned out
to be Marquis, for hours. She was at
the !" trente ct quarante" table. Her
hands, roseate and transparent as
Parian marble, laid down o 1000-franc
note on one square, a heap OF 800 louis
three or four places elsewhere, and when
the time come she would pull her gains
in, or replace them il lost, as TRANQUILITY
as the wife of your bosom would catch q
stitch in stocking or in crochet.
1t was but short time before this
became so much de la mode that women
became the habitues of the salons as
men. Pink-cheeked English girls, who
at home would shudder at card, or at
the very name of betting, are found as
thick as beaux at husl<ing-bee. Ranged
behind the seated player, they plump
down their golden louis with, if not the
self-possession of the feminine neighbors
on the continent, at least without visible
embarrassment. The blase gamblers
welcome them with pleasure, for where
ever they put their money they count
luck certain, and you will often see n
line of men form behind one of the in
upocents planking down piles of notes
fearless where the FOOLS luck' is i'm
plicitly expected. Ionce saw an English
boarding school miss on her way to Rome
carry 10000 francs from the golden
piles of the bank. What added piduancy
to the incident was the fact that her
father was the English chaplain at Ca
denabbia, on Lake Como. The good
man wasn't greatly scandalized, fancy
for he afterwards owned that the money
had served an excellent turn. For a
year or more the English tourists along
the Riveria, and there. are rarely less
than 200,000) have been raising the
voice of protest, until home society
has taken the task in hand to induce the
French government to sit down on the
goddess feudatory. But, as the English
presses point out, the English are the
last people in the world to undertake
such crusade, for there is more
gambling carried on in the one Island
than in all the rest of the world put to-
gether. Betting is regular business
among the aristocracy as well as the
common folks; while there isn't draw
ing-room in the land where play for
stakes is not carried on nightly.

Export Demand for American Horses.

The Americans are cutting ms out of
another market For many years the
demand OF France and Germany for re-
mounts has been confidently calculated
upon by our rborse-breeders; but it would
seem that in this market also we are be-
ing undersold by America. French
agents are out west with orders for no
fewer than 5000 horses for the French
army. They are TO be shipped to Havre
in patches Of 250 at time. These Amer
ican horses, as a shipper says, are just
the thing to carry Frenchman into or
out of fight, as they are hardy and
spirited. Three years ago 1000 Ameri-
can horses were shipped to London to
the Metropolitan Tramway Company,
and q letter is quoted from Mr.. G. A.
Smith, Chairman Of the Company, to the
effect that 1.-THE American horses are the
toughest and most hardy of any that we
can get would give two French
horses for one American one any day"
1t would seem that it is not only on the
rnce-course that the transatlantic horse
breeder distances his British competitor.

The latest telephone story is told by
the Hartford Post, and is averred to be
an actual fact. "a physician of N
was called by telephone about one o'clock
at night from B, two miles away. A
child was suffering from the Group. The
night was dark and stormy, and the
doctor found nothing pleasant in the con-
templated trip. So he called up the
house in which the little sufferer lay, and
requested the parents to bring it to the
telephone transmitter. This was done.
The child coughed its croupy cough, and
the doctor listened to every sound which
came from his patient. He prescribed a
remedy, and one of the members of the
family prepared and administered it. The
relief was immediate and the recovery
rapid, and the doctor had the satisfaction
of hearing the cough relieved through
the telephone. Next! AK '.f..'-.

mothers heart before 1t is too late. Tell her
that consumption is curable; that men are liv-

The Man Who Proved Himself q Hero
and Patriot.

As there are troubles worse than
death, so is there herosm deeper than
that which braves the enemy in battle,
and the true patriot is not the man who

vanced civilization of his native land,
but it is he who practically aids her in
her course onward and upward.
