Edwin Booth.

Edwin Booth, when not on the stage,
is great smoker. He never drinks any
alcoholic liquors. Tea is his only slim
ulant. He never attends late dinners or
suppers, and never has an "out." After
acting he is very much depressed and
likes to Lie abed to recuperate during
much of the next day. In the parlance
of the day, Edwin Booth is "re-
formed" man. From the time Junius
Brutus Booth-his father-died in 1852,
until the assassination of President Lin
coin by his brother John, in 1866, Edwin
drank and drank hard. During the
greater portion of that time the three
most prominent, most talented and most
dissipated young men upon the Ameri-
can stage were VIM. Goodall, Fl. A.
Perry and Edwin Booth. Billy Goodall
and Harry Perry are both dead-yictims
of drink. The terrible act of his brother
John reused Edwin from folly. It is
generally believed that John Booth, the
assassin, was q very Incorporate young
man, but such was not the case. 1t was
Edwin who tossed the ruby Johns
weakness was women. From the gay,
registering, reckless young madcap of
twenty years ago, Edwin Booth Is now,
and has long been, one of the soberest
and grsvest of men. He is naturally of
a morbidly melancholic temperament,
and, since his change in habits, he de-
lights in nothing but his professional
duties on the stage, and the companion
ship of his family in the seclusion of his
home. Upon the street or in mingling
among men he is habitually wrapped in
gloom. That he does not attend dinner
parties and the like is not strange to
those who know him, for he does not
care for society, and never did-not even
in his youth. His resting the day is
simply a custom observed by nearly all
great actors. Celebrities like Mr.. Booth,
when in their own country, seldom at
tend rehearsals-t only daily duty
they may have. Such work is attended
to for them by subordinate, in the
same manner as John Mccullough used
to rehearse for MIR. Forrest, in the clos
ing years of that great tragedian's life,
and as Mr.. James Cathcart did for the
late Charles Kean- -ErchGuge.

USEFUL HINTS.

To KEEP seeds from the depredations
of mice, mix some pieces of camphor
with them. Camphor placed In trunks
or drawers will prevent mice from doing
them injury.
To KEEP your knives and forks from
rusting, make flannel bag, and stitch
from top to bottom, an inch and half
apart, a dozen times, making a recepta-
Gle for each. Roll and keep in dry
place.
A TEAsPooNFU1 of black pepper will
prevent gray or buff linen from spotting,
if stirred into the water In which they
are washed. It will also prevent the
colors running, when washing black or
colored cambrics, or muslins, and the
water is not injured by it, but just as
soft as before the pepper was put in.
IT is always best to wash fannels,
calico dresses and aprons before the
white clothes are wet, especially if the
day is cloudy and threatening. Then if
it rains the white clothes can be rubbed,
scalded and left in the rinsing water,
and it is a small matter next day to wiring
them out, blue them, and hang them
out to dry.
To MAKE the hair stay in crimp, take
2 cents worth of gum arabic, and add
to it just enough boiling water to dis
solve it. When dissolved, add enough
alcohol to make rather thin. Let this
stand all night, and then bottle it to
prevent the alcohol from evaporating.
This put on the hair at night after it is
done up in paper or pins will make it
stay in crimp the hottest day, and is
perfectly harmless.
One can have the hands in soap suds
with soft soap without injury to the
skin, if the hands are dipped in vinegar
or lemon juice Immediately after. The
acids destroy the corrosive effects of the
alkali, and make the hands soft and
white. Indian meal and vinegar or lem
on Juice used on hands when roughened
by cold or labor will heal and soften
them. Rub the hands in this then
wash off thoroughly and rub in glycer-
inc. Those who suffer from chapped
hands in the winter will find this com
forting.
MOST persons, when they come in from
the rain, put their umbrellas in the rack
with the handle upward. They should
put it downward, because when the han
die is upward the water runs down in
side to the place where the ribs are
joined to the handle, and cannot get out,
but stays rotting the cloth and rusting
the metal until slowly dried away. The
wire securing the ribs soon rusts and
breaks. If placed the other end up the
water readily runs off.

Snake Stories FROM the White Sulphur
Springs,

There are no flies or mosquitoes at the
White Sulphur, but there are plenty of
snakes in the outlying neighborhood.
The mountains are filed with copper
heads, rattlesnakes and adders. There
are no desirable walks and drives about
here. The majority of visitors keep
within tho 800 acres known as the White
Sulphur reservation. The other day a
mountaineer brought in two huge rattle
snakes. He had them In wooden box
with q glass top. The snakes were very
active and vicious. They rolled, Kissed
and struck at visitors who bent over the
boz, greatly to the terror of the chill
dren who crowded about the owner Of
the snakes. One colored man expressed
great fear that the snakes would get out
and bite some one. "That would be all
day with them, I guess" said he. sob,
NO said the mountaineer /; ga rattle
snake bite doesn't amount to nothin'."
at don't?" said visitor.
"No," said the mountaineer there is

"Some put on turpentine. That
draws the pizen out. Jest put the mouth
of bottle filled with turpentine Oh the
wound, and the pizen will dror out and
make the turpertine green. Some, how
ever, kill the snake and bind piece OF
it on the bite. That drors the pizen out.
There is q man up our way, however,
who never does nothin' when a rattler
bites him. He has been bitten three
times. The bites kind swelled up, but
after q time the swellin' went away
again."
"Did he say he did nothing to cure
the bites ?"

"He must have lied"
He is preacher, and"
Enough-you need go no further"
The mountaineer says that the worst
snake in the mountains is the copper
head. 1t gives no warning, is often in
clined to be aggressive, and strikes
quickly and surely. Its bite is much
more deadly than that of the rattle
snake. There is den of snakes at
Cool Knob, station some thirty miles
from here, where there are thousands OF
snakes In q great cavern that no native
has ever been bold enough to approach,
