Scenes at the Aims House.
from the Philadelphia Times.

He was a little old man, and as he
leaned against the easement in ward
three of the Blockley Almshouse, and
the waning light fell dead and lustre-
less on the course livery of pauper-
dom, which hung about his attenuated
form in baggy folds, it required a
strong stretch Of the imagination to
picture him as q rich and powerful
man Of the world, with hosts Of friends.
There was something of the naughty
pride IN his manner when in conversa-
ton with one of his ward-mates he
suddenly Strengthened his bent form
and said:
"Once l was rich, had servants Co
wait on me, rode in my carriage"
H checked himself suddenly, the bow
came into his back again, his eyes lost
fire and he was back in his old char
acter-a pauper. He had made no
idle boast, but in his present degrada-
ton he rarely lifts the veil that hides
a past at one time full OF sunshine and
promise.
Seventy-five per cent. Of the inmates
OF the Almshouse are paupers through
dissipation. The balance have been
forced into poverty in their old age
through various causes, principally by
unfortunate speculations and other
business losses. A man died in the old
mems ward some months ago, who
had married children living in luxury.
He had been a good father to them,
but in his old age they allowed him to
live pauper's life. Many of the in
mates never speak of the past and it
is only occasionally, when stirred by
some unusual emotion, that they in
innate that there ever was another
life.

The Romance of an Earldon.

The late Earl Of Huntingdon, whose
death has scarcely been noticed in the
English press, was, says Life lion
don.) the grandson OF gentleman
who, having been born plain Mr.. Hast
ings, and having been brought up in ig-
norance of his high birth, had reached
middle age before he found that he had
reason to suspect that he had claim
to the Earldom of Huntington, which
hadremained dormant and unclaimed
since the death of the tenth earl in
1889. The estates had passed by will
to the Marquis of Hastings, but the
coronet of an earl cannot be be-
queathed by will like an ordinary

THE YACHTS.

The sails are reefed. Like spectre-birds,
Their wings expanded light;
They've chased the day 'twIxt blue and blue.
Now fold they for the night
Sought they this harbor old and gray
To please me with their sight?
Vain thought Perhaps the stars for me
Come forth on Heavens floor;
Perchance to tell me ancient tales
Far waves seek out the shore.
And autumn's frost for me do change
The green the summer wore.
But never was there turned to mo
The spray-daShed figure head
OF high-winged yacht. To seek for me
No chart was ever spread,
No sails were furled, no anchors raised,
No trembling compass read.
For ] am poor. Then, brother, why,
In peaceful harmony,
Doth sing my heart? More gaily sing
Than ii the argOsy
Were all my own, and all its sails
Did steal the breeze for me?
For poor and rich the scales are held
With equal good and ILL.,
I see the yachts, but own them not.
The rich do both; and still
Still sings my heart full merrily-
The rich must foot the bill. Puck.

A Famous Dealer in Plays.
From the Detroit Free Press

Sam French, the noted dramatic
publisher of New York, crossed over
''the briny sea- some eight years
ago, and bought out Lac! En-
glish publisher Ia the same The
New York house, which is mahseged by
his son, and the big house in London
now furnish all the printed plays for
the English-speaking world. They al
so furnish costume plates for actors,
and print scenery in sheets, ready to
be attached to the frames, for anna
teur representation. The old gentle
man has also developed into a great
dramatic speculator, and as such is
greatly dreaded by New York mana
gers, who find in him awealthy middle
man who prevents them from dealing
with authors at first hand. Thus he will
go to Sardou, or any celebrated au-
thor, and buy play, SO much down
in advance, with the privilege of decid-
ing after the first performance the
amount to be offered for royalty on
each subsequent representation, or buy
the play outright, or make any other
proposition.

Corsets for the Ankles.

New York Mail and Express.
The man who invented the ankle corset
will make a fortune by it," remarked the
superintendent Of a popular rink uptown
where 1000 people skate daily.
"Have you tried it yeti7 asked q re porter.
1No; haven't even en- it. But l think
it will be a success. Some people in skating
never can keep their ankles stiff 1t impeies
their speed and makes them tire quickly.
Now this ankle corset as | understand it, is
brace for the ankle TO keep it from turn
ing. II II IS properly constructed it is bound
t. be Of great assistance. Many young Ia
dies now in skating wear high-laced shoes to
brace their ankles. Not few wear two
or three elastics for the same purpose. But
this corset will have to be jaunty and grace
ful-!ooking or else no girl will wear it The
great ambition Of the girls nowadays is to
attain style and grace rather than speed and
comfort, 80 the ankle corsets will have to
survive a terrible scouting before the rink
queens will accept them"
DO the ankles Of the girl skaters really
require corsets or bracess'
As rule they do Ii their ankles are
weak and In trying to cut di1os on skates they
happen to turn, the corset will certainly be
of advantage to prevent spraining. the
ankle is the part OF the human body most
hah'e to damage in skating 1t is frequently
weak and rickety and uncertain about turn
ing. Therefore my impression is the ankle
corset will BE- the next wrinkle - sell in con-
junction with skates
