hesitate to ''strike' either managers or artists
for money, board, clothes, jewelry, or other
valuables. know an impressario who was
compelled to open and keep a large summer
cottage at Long Branch, where six or eight
of these gentlemen went with their wives and
stayed for many weeks know two dramatic

The following is a fair sample Of the

Of the London theatre in which our own Mary

Then a burly policeman forces the crowd

scarcity or Books for Girls.
Chicago Herald.


aThere IS" remarked a leading bookseller,
"a singular fact connected with the publica
ton of juvenile books, and that is that new
books for girls, publications which every
mother might safely place into the hands OF
her daughter, are growing more scarce from
year to year. 1t seems as IL no new authors
in this branch OF literature enter the field OF
competition, and the old authors shrink from
the task at once SO difficult and thankless.
Authors like Miss Alcott and Mrs. Whitney,
Sophie May and Susan Coolidge, have nothing
new Tor the Christmas tabs this year, while
the number OF new publications for boys is
simply legion. Undoubtedly the girls ara
themselves to blame in the first place. There
seems to be an unnatural longing for a claS
of literature that would not be healthy for a
grown woman. Good, solid mental food is
thrown aside, and thus tina authors receive
little or no encouragement except by favor
able notices in the press, and that, as you will
readily concede, does not pay the publisher
unless 1t is accompanied by a good sale"

Through the kindness of one of the city
of1cials-a courteous lawyer and gentleman
we were escorted on a most interesting tour
through chinatown, :" as 1t is called. Start
Ing out at 8 O'Clock one pleasant evening, we
called first at some Of their stores; business
being about over for the day, we found them
In clusters, old and young, eagerly gathered
about the counter, at their greatest of amuse-
ments-sambling. Not a word was uttered by
any, so absorbed were they In their game,
aud, after casting u hasty and wondering
glance at us, they ignored US entirely.
Passing on and visiting many stores we
came to a restaurant about 10 p. m First
entering n small office, we passed in at a door
to find ourselves In the dining-room; here,
seated at tables, are several Celestinls, quietly
but hard at work on a dish OF thick kind of
soup, which they caused to disappear rapidly
by throwing into their mouths with chop
sticks- A fat cook busy at the stove Is seen
in the rear, humming a dismal air. The man
who does the waiting, being considered quite
a musician, Is called upon for music and
favors us with a series OF bowls and groans
which he called a song: and then, on his one
stringed instrument be makes US feel gensr-
ally I'll.
As the music progresses IND the musician
seems to warm up TO his work, he bowls like
a dog and rolls his eyes wildly. A movement
is heard above and, on looking for the cause,
we find a dozen pairs Of sharp eyes looking
down at US from above; thus, while suppos-
ing ourselves in the ompany Of two or three
Cinnamon, we realize that a score or more Of
them are about US, and we ind that the
apartment is, as it were, cut In two, thus
giving two floors to an ordinary sized room,
a ladder being used to ascend to the sleeping
apartment above. Thus one fair-sizsd room
can be used for a restaurant below and lodge
twonty persons or more on the shelves above;
but they seem happy and contented- As they
are packed together In such a state, we won
der how they can emerge looking so cleanly
each day; but they are particular about
their appearance generally and carefully
bathe every morning.
