Behind the Scenes.

Blskely Hall, who has been looking at
a "Patience' audience through chink
In the stage scenery, says somebody
ought to photograph theatrical assem-
blage by the instantaneous process in the
midst of general laughter. The picture,
he adds, would be immensely funny.
If a mirror could be flashed in front of
YOU at the instant that the comedian of
the farce does something to make You
roar. it isn't likely that you would recog-
nlze yourself in the horribly grimacing
reflection. Imagine 1000 persons with
similarly distorted faces! That was
what Bunthorne and I saw, when he was
singing some new tropical verses inter
polated into Gilbert's work, and l was
squirting through the peephole. Still
more astounding was the spectacle when
the love-sick maidens trooped upon the
scene. To me they presented merely
outlines, as they Topped in the poses of
exaggerated pstheticism; but to the
spectator in front, upon whom their
pretty faces beamed. inferred that they
were enhancing. This conclusion was
based upon row after row of countenances
which were idioticallv rapt if they be-
longed to men, and calmly critical if
they belonged to women. The dudes in
the nearest chairs were very Romeos for
their facial expression of fond, yearning,
cailow admiration The strangest face,
however. was that of the conductor. 1t
is a mistake to suppose that he employs
his arms only in keeping the singers in
harmony; this particular specimen was
fairly illustrative of his class. His fea-
lures were like the bits of glass in
Kaleidoscope for forming, at every shake,
a new combination. He winked with
his right eye at Patience as signal to
begin and simultaneously with his left at
Grosycnor to stop. He frowned with one
side OF his face at the chorus girls, be-
cause they were out of time, and smiled
with the other side at the chorus fellows
as an approval of their better vocalism.
He sang bars of the music himself. He
dropped from the exaltation of delight
to the depths of acute torture with a
suddenncss which threatened to break
him into bits, and then rose again with
skyrocket cclerity. Every twitch of a
nerve or jerk of muscle apparently
meant some particular thing to the per
formers, but to me the display was a
marvel and l wondered whether, after
years of that sort of thing, the man
could let his face settle down into a
state of rest without the aid of portrait
taken at the outset of his wry career.

FOR FEMININE READERS.


AT the recent wedding of the Duke of
Buckingham ana Miss Graham Mont
gomery. in England, the bridesmaids
dresses were composed of white bro
caded satin, trimmed with dark blue
velvet and lace, and they wore small
blue velvet hats, with shaded wings.
Each wore a brooch of dark velvet
enamel and pearls, with monogram in
diamonds, and carried a large bouquet
OF lilies of the valley, gifts Of the bride
groom. On the same day the brides
maids of Miss Pease, who was married
to NEcount Lymingtcp, wore dresses of
cream lndan muslin, trimmed with
ruby velvet, overskirts of satin merveil-
leux, trimmed with Maline lace, the
drapery being looped with bows of ruby
velvet ribbon, and straw Amazon hats

memento of the event, and carried a

Gum Giving Place to Licorice.

Yes, gum has lost it's prestige" says
Chicago druggist. "You see, it isn't
the nature OF woman to stick to any one
thing very long, unless it is a sealskin
sacque. then the longer the better.'
Without exhibiting any signs of agi-
tatlon the newspaper man asked what the
tickle females were now chewing?
Glycyrrhiza gla-b-r-a," was the re-
ply.
"That must come from Moscow,n ven
turcd the reporter.
"No. thai is latin for locorice root.
You see women must keep their jaws in
motion. Six months ago it was almost
impossible to find female without a
quld of chewing gum in her mouth,
whether out shopping or reading sensa-
ional novels in her boudoir. The chew
ing gum craze was a profitable one for
US. We sold tons of it during the run,
and the trade was not cornered by drug
gists by very large majority. Shrewd
grocels with an eye to business dabbled
in the trade, and the amount sold in this
alone would have made a gum road
from here to Joliet. but now the demand
is for licorice. Chicago Herald.

SWeet.Minded Women.

80 great is the influence of sweet
minded woman on those around her
that it is almost boundless 1t is to her
that friends come in season of sickness
and sorrow for help and comfort. One
soothing touch of her kindly hands
works wonders in the feverish child; a
few words let fall from her lips in the
ear of sorrowful sister do much to raise
the load OF grief that is bowing its vic
tim down to the dust in anguish. The
husband comes home worn out with the
pressure eff business and feeling irritable
with the world in general: but when he
enters the cozy sittingroom and sees the
blaze of the bright fire and meets his
wife's smiling face, he succumbs in mo-
ment to the soothing influences, which
act as balm of Gilead to his wounded
spirit. We are all wearied with combat
ing with the realities of life. The
rough schoolboy flies in rage from the
taunts OF his companions to find solacc
in the mothers smile; the little one, full
of grief with its own large trouble, finds
a haven of rest on its mothers breast
and SO one may go on with instances of
the influence a sweet minded woman has
in the social life with which she is con
nected. Beauty is an insignificant power
when compared with hers.-Loadon

Mistakes in Nomenclature.

David Dudley Field takes exception to
the nomenclature of American geogra-
ply. He says there may be great deal
Of fitness or untitness in names. To be-
gin with, our continent was misnamed.
In selecting the name "America' great
wrong was done Columbus. The CONT
nent should have been called columbia.
Now Americans are trying to make
amends by singing "Hail, Columbia. :"
Just think of some of the wretched
names selected for places in the United
States. We have Tombstone, You Bet,
Pop Corn, Cut Shin, Raw Hide. Skunk
Lake Dirt Tub, jug Tavern, Sawdust,
Cow Skin and Cut Off. Almost as bad
taste was displayed in copying such old
names as Babylon, Memphis, Cairo, Troy,
Utica and Syracuse. 1t would have
been much better to have preserved more
of the nomenclature of the red men.
Nothing could be more appropriate and
pleasant to the ear than Mississippi,
Oneida, Michigan, Monongahela, Sus-
quehanna, Mohawk, Idaho and Wyo-
ming.-Neso York. Telegram.

Buried Under Ayaianch es.

The Italian side of the Alps, writes a
Turin correspondent to the New York
Sun, is very precipitous. Immense
avalanches of snow on this side of the
mountains have swept down upon the
villages at the foot and buried a number
of them. At Sperone fifteen persons
were caught in an avalanche and carried
so far away that their bodies have not
yet been found. Seventeen villages
have been partially or wholly bur ed
The loss of life was from five to nearly
one hundred in each village. A great
many cattle have been lost. The Alpine
regiments, all composed Of mountaineers
have done good service in lifesaving
work.
At Rivo the avalanche buried a house
in which was woman seventy years old,
two daughters, four grand children, and
a baby four months old. No men were
in the house. The poor things were dy
ing for want of air, food. and fire.
While they were despairing they heard
several blows on the ceiling of the room.
The Alpine soldiers, who had excavated
pit in the snow, had reached the roof
OF the house. They made hole, and
through it the old woman handed first
the baby to the soldiers and then the
grandchildren The two daughters
went next, and last of all the grand

Condiments.

A brief notice of the various condi-
ments or spices we use on our table or in
our kitchen, with an account of their
origin, may not be uninteresting.
The most common is black pepper,
which is the ground unripe fruit of Piper
negrum.
Capsicum, cayenne or African pepper
is an entirely different substance, and
pepper is misnoner.
Mustard is the pounded flour of Sin
apis alba and Sinapis negro, which both
supply the same yellow flour. The pur-
est flour is that obtained from the second
sitting. Nothing is SO much adultcrated
as mustard. Wheat flour, heated by the
addition OF red pepper and colored by
turmeric, is the common medium of adul-
tclation.
Pimento or allspee, so named because
it is supposed to taste like d mixture of
various spices, is the unripe fruit of the
Piper negrum.
Cinnamon is the inner bark of the
shoots of the cinnamon tree. The bark
of the cassia is also u:ed.
Ginger is the root of the ginger plant,
scalded in boiling water to prevent gen
Grafton, and then rapidly dried-this is
blace ginger. When selected the best
roots are peeled and dried in the sun,
they are called white ginger. Rice
starch, exhausted ginger, brick dust,
chalk, capsicum and mustard are the
adulterations generally found.
Nutmeg is the kernel of the seed of
the myristica tree, and mace is the inter
mediate coat next 10 the nut.
Cloves are the unexpanded dried flower
buds of caryophy.ata. Sometimes those
from which the essential oil has been ex-
tracted are sold for the dried Glove

And there We're tokens everywhere
That it had come-November.

The village seat of learning,
Acro-s the smooth, well-trodden path
My homeward footsteps turning;
Ny heart a troubled question bore,
And in my mind as oft before,
a vexiug thought was burning.
"Why is it up hill all the way.'
Thus ran my meditations;
The lessons had gone wrong that day,
And l had lost my patience.
rs there no way to soften care,
And make it easier to bear
Life's SORROWS and vexations"
Across my pathway. through the wood,
A fallen tree was lying,
On this there sat two little girls,
And one of them was crying.
heard her sob: "And if [ could,
I'd get my lessons awful good,
But what's the use of trying!'
And then the little hooded head
Sank on the mothers shoulder,
The little weeper sought the arms
That opened to enfold her.

That | was a beholder.
And then l heard-ah! ne'er was known
Such iud ment without malice.
Nor queenlier counsel ever heard
In senate, house or palace!-

Don't be discouraged; try once more,
And will help you, Alice"
"And 1 will help you" This is hov
To soften care and grieving;

Hope would prevail in every lot,
And life be only pleasure
