A Company of Diminutive Actors

a Company OF Dlminutlve Actors
The Hamburg steamer, Lessing.
which arrived at Hoboken yesterday
morning, had on board a singular
dramatic combination. Eight of the
members have a combined height of
327 inches. while their united ages
foot up to 1872 years giving each an
average of AZ inches and "a years.
Their names are Ada Mahr, Richard
Dorm. Miuna Mignon, Johann Wolff,
Franz Elbert, Anton Peibler. and
Selma Doermer Franz Ebert who
comes from the province of Badenburg,
is twenty years old. thirty-one inches
tall, and enac:s juvenile roles; he has
the honor of being the smallest of the
company, but his Importance is in in
verse ratio to his in ches. An agent
from the Thalis theater met the actors
and packed them in a cab When
Trey arrived at the Belvidere house it
was discovered that Ignatz Wolf. who
is accustomed to make Mr.. Ebert mad
by looking down on him from his su-
perio- height of thirty-six inches. had
dis ppeared. There was general re-
joicing when a member of the Broad
way squad came into the Office and
untying his pocket handkerchief pro-
duced Mr.. Wolf, covered with mud,
brit otherwise unframed. 1t is sup
posed that he fell through q crack in
the cab floor, as he was discovered
swimming for his life in a puddle on
Broadway. The company will soon
appear in German comedy at the Tha-
liza theater. and afterward travel
through the country.

of young horses. This habit is sometimes
hereditary. In. a few cases it results

competent drivers. When the coltshows
the disposition to shy, the driver com
menees1 a severe castigation with the
whip. He. has the preposterous- idea Of
whipping terror out of the dumb brute,
when he only arOuss the animal passions,
and the colt planges with desperate VIC
lence to get away from the punishment,
endangerng the safety of the vehicle and
the life of its inmates. When this
abused, terror-stricken colt sees another
object'of fear, he makes some desperate
move to protect himself from oppression.
. tits this worse than foolish punishment
that confirms the habit of shying. No
whip ever removed terror or put conf
dence into q horse. 1t requires gentle
ness and persuation to break up this per-
nicionsl habit. Let the horse stop and
look at the object he fears; encourage
him with cool persuasion, and he will
gradually approach and finally pass the
object, without being seriously alarmed.

Breathing cots.


The future conduct of the colt depends
much upon gentle training in his first
lessons of subsection. Whatever vices
colts contract, through carelessness or in
competency of the breaker, will last as
long as they'll live. It behoOves the trainer
to be on his guard against these evil
properties that may destroy their future
usefulness In order to avoid the break
ers that have wrecked the fond hopes of
many sanguine breeders, by destroying
their favorite colts by brutal treatment,
great care should be exercised in select
ing a competent trainer, with an even
temper and good Judgment. KS
The breaker should start out on an APP
proved system Of enlightened horse train
ing, that has generally proved successful
in subduing wild colts. He should first
bit the wild youth, to supple his neck and
control the head, till he becomes bride
wise. 1t would be prudent. in order to
avoid frightening the uncultivated youth
into desperate runs to clear himself from
the vehicle, to put himzin single harness,
without load, and drive him with the
lines till he becomes thoroughly accus-
toned to the use of the harness, and will
be guided to the right-and left, stop and
go forward at the word of command, and,
in fact learn all that a. horse is. required
to know before he is hitched to asEehiele.

have ruineds many lpromising colts by
using too much force. They punish them
for disobedienCe, before they have taught
them toswork.. It is simply to crafty
their own deAfuctive passions, without an
honorable motive or useful end. It has a
most psr4aeious Influence. Tho colt

The Dude.

H.
% The New. York. correspondent of the
Brooklyn Eagle, a sort of oman About
Town" notes the introduction of new
word into the language. 1t: is dude or
d-o-o-d, the spelling not having been dis
,tinctly settled yet. Nobody, knows
where the word came from, but II has
sprung into popularity within the past
few weeks, and everybody is using it. The
correspondent says of it:
st means a masher, and yet 1T means
something more than masher. For in
stance, a masher may be young or old,
he may mash by virtue of his politeness,
of his accomplishments, of his wealth,
beauty, eyes, nose or face; he may be a,
man of mature years, an old man, a young
man, or a boy. In speaking of Washers
one is never sure exactly what sort Of a
man is meant. There is class of mash
ers in New York who will now have q
definite place in the language of the town
as dudes. A. dude cannot be old, and to
be properly termed dude he should be
one of a certain class who affect the met
ropolitan theateTs The dude is from
nineteen to twenty-eight years of age,
wears trousers Of extreme tightness, is
hollow-chested, efeminate in his way,
apes the English, and distinguishes HIM
self among his fellowmen as a lover of
actresses. The badge of his Office. is the
paper cigarette, and his belI-crown
English opera hat is his greatest joy.
They are seen in large numbers at the
theaters, where they form one of the in
teresting features OF the, evening enter
tainments They are offensive, because
they blow cigarette smoke in ladies' faces
and monopolize the bar between the acts.
AS rule they are rich mems sons, and
very proud of the unlimited cash at their
command. They call AL actresses by
their first names, and affect extreme
familiarity with all things pertaining to
the stage; but in reality they know very
little personally OF the men and women
of the dramatic profession. Still the
dude always poses as a particular fayOEite
of the reigning theatrical celebrity. They
are a harmless lot of men one way, for
they are too shallow pated and weak to
accomplish any harm, but they are some
times offensive. No dude is a real dude
who does not talk to a, fellow dude in a
loud voice during the play also, no dude
who respects himself ever takes a lady to
the theater. They run sins pairs, and
compare notes between the acts" .,,-.

The RetaiI Priee Of cheese.

It seems queer to man who is IN any
way connected with the cheese market
and familiar with the quotations day by
day to go into aicorner grocery to buy
piece Of cheese for family use and ex-
perience the galvanizing shock that 81
ways comes when he prices the article.
He knows that the farmer received 'but
six or eight cents a pound for the old
white oak cheese that lies before hiBl,
and when the grocer has the, coelness 20
ask sixteen and eighteen cents for it, he
wonders if it is a family relic that the
man wishes to preserve, or does he really
want to sell it. But wait q minute, and
in comes a child with an order for piece
of cheese, and sure enough the grocer is
willing to part with slab of the terrible
toughness. Fortunately for the grocer,
few people are judges of cheese in the
store. Their wits seem bewildered and
everything In the shape Of cheese to their
benumbed senses takes on the character
of a full cream article. Like counterfeit
money imposed upon yen, it is when ar
rived home with time to collect yourself,
that you realize the swindle that has
been put upon YOU It is right here, too,
that the great injury to the incease Of
home consumption comes In, The Pur'
chaser that once gets fooled with an IN
ferior article makes up his mind that he
has not natural fondness for cheese, and
ever,after or long time hence, at least,
it will be before he ventures to indulge
again.-American DGiTQz1G2G.
