"You talk Of actresses flirta-
tions," said one of the stage
managers who has much to do
with companies in which women
are the principal attraction, "but
you would be surprised at how
little of this business goes on, as
o matter Of fact-that is, so far
as a stage manager can know.
What they do outside Of the the

Idon't seek to inquire. Sometimes
one OF the girls will come and
ask me il she may receive a bou-
quet across the footlights, and

because il a prima donna is on

I have known many young fellows

and as far as / have been able to
observe, these marriages have
turned out happily. You would
not believe it, but 1 have had
applications from many women to
allow them to 60 on in the chorus
at no salary at all for the sake of
getting husbands. They find, 1
suppose, that there is nothing SO
attractive TO the young men as
stage women, and they want to

Great E.r,aeerl.s work.

One OF the great wonders Of
marine engineering is the ship
canal through the Finland bay
from st. Petersburg to CroRstadt,
in Russia. The bay between the
two cities is SO shallow that for
merly only vessels of very light
draft could come 10 st. Peters
burg, and in consequence an
enormous amount of lighterage
wes necessary, the cost Of which,
some -, 600, 900 annually, becom-
ing altogether too burdensome
for the st. Petersburg trade
Since the completion Of the canal
mentioned the largest vessels en-
rloyed in the Baltic trade can
reach st. Petersburg. The canal
is seventeen miles long, and is
formed by two enormous break
waters running parallel to each
other 275 feet apart. Between a
channel of the uniform depth of
twenty-five feet has been dredged
About half way between the two
cities the canal is widened to a
harbor Of refuge about one mile
square, also formed by break
waters. The latter are almost
entirely constructed of cribs filed
with stone, which were generally
sunk in winter time when the bay
Was frozen over solid. The cribs
were mostly built on the ice,
which was as much as three feet
thick, and sunk through holes cut
In the ice. This work was BY NO
means free from danger, for fire.

who had then to work standing

Government ownsrsnip Of Railways

The experiment Of government rail-
way ownership in France, which was
undertaken few years ago on vast
scale, now appears TO be an admitted
failure. 1t is announced that the gov
ernment desires to sell the State railways

Of acquiring all the railways owned by
companies, and, in addition, building Q
great system Of lines. A brief expert.
ment seems to have convinced the
French government that it is far better
for the State as well as for the people tc
have railways owned and operated by
individuals, thus relieving the govern
ment from all responsibility, which, in
the case OF the French scheme, threat
ened to lead almost to bankruptcy. :

At other times a sudden snow
storm, in which it was impossible
to stand erect, would force the
laborers to win the coast, crawl
a distance OF three miles or more
over the ice. To complete the
canal it was necessary to sinh
about twelve million cubic feet oi
rscks and stones, while to deepen
the channel 10000, 900 cubic
feet Of earth had to be removed.
OF course such an undertaking
was possible only in Russia, and
at the time when her population
was still largely made up of serfs,
whose labor could be had for the
cost of board and clothing.

Da,ly Habit. Of Emperor wIIll.n

The Emperor yesterday entered
on his eighty-eighth year in what
must be called q really astonish-
ing state OF vigor for SO aged
monarch. Save that his Majesty's
outdoor exercise always takes the
form Of ride, his habits are still
much the same as they ever were.
He rises as early and retires to
rest as late. He goes throu gh
the same daily routine Of work
and recreation, but by far the
greater portion of his time is de-
voted to the former occupation.
The fatigues OF the Berlin season,
which has just come to q close.
are not a whit less than those OF
the Seven Weeks War; but the
Kaiser has again emerged from
the Winter campaign as fresh and
as buoyant as ever. He continues
to pay the same strict attention
to military details; nor does he
fail to follow the debates of Par
lament with a vigilant eye.
His ante-room is always full Of
generals, ministers, diplomatists
and other dignitaries waiting their
turns for an audience, and the
saying goes that if general and
q minister are simultaneously am
nounced, the former is accorded
the preference. His Maiesty's
table is rarely without q circle of
distinguished guests, and few
evenings go by without seeing
him in his box at the opera-gen-
ial, chatty and cheerful. The
street is besieged by crowds eager
to get glance at the grand old
monarch as he sallies forth on his
afternoon drive, or when, at the
precise hour OF noon, he is at
traced to the window Of his study
by the martial tread of his he'll
meted "children," as straight and
stiff as ramrods, passing to relieve
the main guard. The sun may
fail to break through the clouds.
!. and the wire may refuse to obey
the electric touch, but the EN-
peror never omits responding to
the call of the military music, and
to smile and nod approval to his
stalwart Grenadiers as they swing
past beneath his window and the
statue OF Frederick the Great
which may be regarded as an
apotheosis Of the Prussian nation.
Every hour, almost every min
ute Of the day, brings the EN-
peror a duty, and that duty is
puuctiliousIy performed. Like
Frederick the Great, his Majesty
looks upon himself as the first
servant Of the nation; and even
now, with eighty-eight Summers
on his brow, he works necessarily
and unsparingly for its veal. He
has repeatedly declared that the
woes Of the working men sit
heaviest on his heart, and that il
he could but do something to
better the lot of his poor subjects
he would deem that the close ol
his reign bad been richly blest.
