Actresses and Flowers,

was compelled to the consideration
of this subject, says a contributor to the
New York Mirror, by several occurren-
ces during the week, one of them an
immense floral display at a certain thea
ter. Now, hoWsoever an actress may
counterfeit the varied passions of her
role, she fails signally to express de-
lighted astonishment before the curtain
when the usher and the leader hoist up
floral tributes She may have depicted
rage, jealousy, love, and CONSERVATION
during the evening to the appreciation
of the house; but when she strikes the
surprise party business before an ad-
vancing column of flowers, she goes all
to pieces. And yet they will do it. The
devoted Ichabod (they all have de-
voted Ichabod tells her in the afternoon
what he has ordered. She knows to a
blighted rosebud just what she's going
to get, and yet she stimulates a little
start of surprise. She makes round
eyes of astonishment at its approach.
She makes her mouth 90, as if in doubt:
"For me?" and then she wiggles lit
tie to express ''How good!' and smiles
her nose in the biggest rose, as who
NOulu SdS LOU OFS1 pONOI uue!
Now, who is caught by that nonsense?
Why, Adelaide Nelson ssed to order
her own flowers by the 800 worth.
She has stopped at the florists at Z
o'clock, en- route to the theater, had two
up and two down with the exorbitant
gardener about an immense ship of
flowers, made him stick in dozen more
camellias and light the whole thing up
with his best cornelia corks; and two
hours thereafter she sank back against
the proscenium perfectly thunderstruck
at its appearance as it sailed over the
footlights- so sounexpected, youknow.
Henry Abbey is a stanch believer in
flowers. His stars can go to the box
office and see 'em before he sends 'em
in, and so regulate their display of as
tonishment. It's best to be acquainted
with the resources of the establishment,
lest one shows too much delight over a
horseshoe when there's an omnibus and
8 Cunard steamer coming down the
aisle behind it,

The Nan With an Income and Nothing to
In

A man who has nothing to do is apit-
liable object. He is simply kept man.
He is living on charity. Some amiable
snoozer, now dead, has left him the
money he lives on, and all he has to do
is to draw the money and eat, drink and
sleep. No eyes can brighten with hap
piness when he comes home, because he
only comes home when the other places
are closed. He cannot come home
tired, and be petted and rested by will
ing hands, because it would be a mock
cry to pet tired man who had got tired
doing nothing. Such man simply ex-
lists and is no good on earth. If he
would wheel barrow and earn dol
lar, and get tired, and buy a beefsteak
with the dollar, and have it cooked, and
eat it while the appetite was on that he
got wheeling the barrow, he would
know more enjoyment than he had ever
known before. That man with nothing
to do on earth no doubt thinks, as he
lays around and smells frowsy, that he is
enjoying life, but he knows no more
about enjoyment than tom-cat that
sleeps all day and goes out nights to
play short-stop to a lot of bootjacks and
beer bottles. Such man is cipher, and
does not know enough to go in when it
rains. If there were less incomes left to
lazy young fellows, and more sets of
carpenter tools, there would be more
real enjoyment.-Burlington Ra0keye.

Why He Didn't Mop Him.

The other day small-sized colored
man was roundly abusing a brother of
color on Antoine street large enough. to
eat him up. After the abuse had con-
tinued for long time without results
q white man said to the party of the
second part:
"Why don't you pick him up and
mop the snow with his legs?''
81 could do it, boss
''Then why don't you?'
"Waal, I was considerin'. If we
have a fout I shall probably be rested.
If I'm rested my name will be in de pa
pers. If git in de papers de man up

A Calling That Women Can't Fill,

A great deal, observes the Boston
Journal, has been said of late in the in
terest of those very delicately-constitu-
ted women who can not submit with
equanimity to the operation of having
their new shoes tried on for them by
the male clerks at the shoe stores. 1t
has even been suggested that young
women be employed in these establish
ments for such purposes. But the in
sufficient physical power of women
would evidently prevent the application
of this reform, for anybody who has
tried it knows that the process of put
ting on ladies' shoes requires an i'm
mense expenditure of muscular force.
This fact is chargeable to the we'll
known habit of women with No. 5 feet
crowding on No. 3 shoes, and protest
ing that the same are ''miles and miles
too big'' for them. A muscular clerk
and it is noticeable that shoe store
clerks are very powerful in their arms
can aid and abet this deception by using
the strength with which he has happily
been endowed, but young woman
clerk would be obliged to recommend
shoe the size of the buyers foot, and
thus lose to the store a great amount of
custom.

A Little Philosopher.

The days are short and the nights are long,
And the wind is nipping cold;
The tasKs are hard and the sums are wrong,
And the teachers often scold,
But Johnny McCree,
Oh, what cares he,
As he whistles along the way?
ut will all come right
By tomorrow night
Says Johnny McCree to-day.
The plums are few and the cake is plain,
The shoes are out at the toe;
For money you look in the purse in vain
1t was all spent long ago.
But Johnny McCree,
Oh, what cares he,
AS he whistles along the street?
Would you have the blues
For pair of shoes
While you have pair of feet?
The snow is deep, there are paths to break,
But the little arm is strong,
And work is play if you'll only take
Your work witha bit of song.
And Johnny McCree,
oh, what cares he,
As he whistles along the road2
He will do his best,
And will leave the rest
To the care of his Father, God.
The mothers face 1t is often sad,
She scarce knows what to do;
But at Johnny's kiss she is bright and glad
She loves him, and wouldn't your
For Johnny McCree,
On, what cares he,
As he whistles along the way?
The trouble will go,
And 81 told you so,''
Our brave little Johnny will say.

The Publishers Circular reports 789
new religious works and only 420 novels
published in England last year, where
upon the London Truth hastily con-
cludes that we shall not hear so much
about "pernicious modern literature,
which has been a popular theme with
reforming persons. To say nothing of
the sublime Indifference to facts char
acteristic of reformers in general, there
may be justification for their continued
wailings in the consideration that the
novels probably were read and that the
religious books were not,

this instance he made his greatest leap
and landed on the back of his enemy.
Quickly seizing him by the ear, the dog
kept his body out of reach of the bear,
and inserted his sharp teeth for all they
were " worth; The bear fought with i'll spiri,
Jack to grass, but all in vain. That
dog would not let go. Finally the bear
almost exhausted, gave up in despair,
and as plain as bear can speak acknowl-
ed his defeat. 1t required every man
on the place to pull Jack off, and it is
believed he would have killed the bear
if left talone.-NasIvilLe Banner.

An Essay in a Street Gar.

She had been reading an essay some
where and was going home on a street
car, accompanied by miss, a middle
aged dame and two youths. There
were dozen other passengers in the
car who were not aware that she had
been reading an essay, and she deter
mined to enlighten them, SO in a half
pitched voice that could have been
heard for blocks, she screamed:
''Oh, dear! You don't know how glad
Twas when l finished reading my essay.
/ was really quite nervous, assure
you, for there were thirteen whole pa
ges of it. I actually sat up all night to
write it. It's terribly trying position
to get up before cultured audience
and read an original essay of that
length. How did dop''
Dame-"Just splendid"
-''Be-autiful."
First youth-"N Never saw you do bet

Second youth-''Q ''Quite WE'LL

disgust, with calliope power)-"Quite
we1lr' with scorn) perhaps you
think you could do better?" (Beseech-
ingly,) "You were out among the aud

they said about me!'
Second youth-'Some of them criti-
cised your enunciation."

sengers.)

did, Ell! The mean things!'
He-"Then some of them thought
your structures on Dickens were unjust. ="
She-''Well, never liked Dickens,
anyway. His characters are all over
drawn and unnatural"
He-"Perhaps you prefer Thack-
erayP"
She-(with sniff of disdain) -'sThaek-

ay, anyway! Thackeray want no

And those of the deafened passengers
who hadn't already got off the car to
walk home, went out and rode on the
platform. Detroit Free Press

Ha mans pocket contains fifty 5-cent

but a moment to live and wanted to die

that 2-cent piece out. Then he will
drop it back, and, in endeayoring to
