Vice on the French Stage.

The French are exceedingly sensitive to the
impeachment of their morals They say,
"You take no note of the virtue which
abounds in the home-you only see the
wickedness of Paris, and judge us by it,"
Yet we are being constantly assured that
Paris is France. Now, as a matter of fact,
Paris is not a wickeder city than London or
New York. But its moral atmosphere is
more corrupting. Here vice dresses herself
prettlly and tastefully and appears at every
turning with smile and nod for ALL She
is not an outcast. If society has not an actual
leaning toward her, it tolerates her presence
and gives her civil recognition.
On the stage, which is supposed to hold the
mirror up to nature, and to fairly represent
the people, she is a very empress. The drama
lists never weary of taking her by the hand
and leading her before the curtains and say
ing to the audience: ladies and gentlemen,
this is vice; but she is so beautiful she is SO
Unfortunate Weep for her, pray for her."

THE BONES OF THE DEAD.

Disturbing the Mortal Remnants De-
posted in Private Burying Grounds.
How shocked some of the grand mogus of
old New York would be if they could come
back to the city and sit around awhile 10 see
how their bones are treated. For instance
gross and plebeian men, in jumpers and clay
pipes, have just, with coarse and unfecling
picks and shovels, poached upon the private
preserves OF the mortal remnants of the
mighty Lispenards, of the ancient regime. At
least this is the explanation that the police
have fixed upon as the proper one for forking
up, in q cellar excavation on Lispenad
street, of a large assortment of osseous rem
nants of humanity. Eight skeletons have so
far been dug out, all lying at one level and
all with their heads pously to the west, that
the resurrected eyes might by no mischance
fail to see the Son of Man coming in glory
from the east The site was part of the Lis
penard farm, and it is supposed that the bones
were laid away in private buryng ground
there so long ago everYbody's descendants had
forgotten all about it,
Good advice to anybody about to die is
Don't be buried in private burying ground
1t is seclusve for time, but after while it
is apt to get common. Witness not only these
rakedup Lispenards, but other former
families that had themselves laid away in pri
vate plots in New York and the suburbs For
one case, there is right on the line of a great
railroad, few miles out of the city-so
much on the line that the road seems to draw
one side little to avoid running over it
what Ell years ago was apparently a private
graveyard fallen into a state of innocuous
desuetude. Then passengers gazed curiously
out of the windows as the train went by, and
wondered whose bones were trying to rest in
such a rattle-ty-bang location.
Antiquarians knew that the homes were
those of the de-something brothers, an old
French family that had once been the repre-
sentative of all that was high toned and
wealthy in the neighborhood That was ten
years ago. Now the gravestones have fallen
over, patch of brush and weeds conceals the
spot where they used to stand, the passengers
never notice the place any more, and the an
tiquarians are forgetting that there ever was
such a family. In another ten years the
br ush, weeds and gravestones will be cleared
away, the place built over by the railroads
side tracks and the antiquarians will be dead.

The Prussian Officer.

The Prussian officer has been much maligned.
He is not the stiff, overbearing, uniformed
aristocrat which some people have repre-
sented him as being. He is always in uniform,
save on leave or in attending certain places
of amusement at night, and he is soldier-like
In his bearing and somewhat ceremonious
His soldier-like bearing is, however, merit,
his reserve is that of man who respects him
self, and have never seen any symptoms of
an overbearing manner towards civilians,
whether high or low. The great character
istic of the German officers is the great cam
araderie between them. There is an active
freemasonry among all the officers of the
army. Every officer treats every other officer
as if he were an acquaintance, or rather
friend, whether he knows him or not In the
streets German officers passing each other
always exchange salutes, and if German

ways salutes, with an accompanying bow,

Our Daily Bread.

Heavy and sour bread or biscuit have
a vast influence through the digestive
organs upon the measure of health we
enjoy. How important to our present
happiness and future usefulness the
blessing of good health and sound
constitution are, we can only realize
when we have lost them, and when it
is too late to repair the damage. And
yet, Notwithstanding these facts.
thousands of persons daily jeopardize
not only their health, but their lives,
and the healths and lives of others, by
using articles in the preparation Of
their food the purity and healthful-
ness of which they know nothing.
Perhaps a few cents may have been
saved, or it may have been more con-
venient to obtain the articles used, and
the housekeeper takes the responsible
ty and possibly will never know the
mischief that has been wrought.
Paterfamilias may have spells of head
ache, Johnny may have lost his appe-
tite, Susie may look pale; if so, the
true cause is rarely suspected. The
weather, the lack of outdoor air, or
some other cause, is given, and the UNI
wholesome, poisonous system OF adul-
terated food goes OH. Next to the
flour, which should be made of good,
sound wheat and not ground too fine,
the yeast or baking powder, which
furnishes the rising properties, is of
the greatest importance, and of the
two we prefer baking powder, and al
ways use the Royal, as we thereby re-
tain the original properties of the
wheat, no fermentation taking place.
The action of the Royal Baking Pow
der upon the dough is simply to swell
it and form little cells through every
part. These cells are filled with car
bonic acid gas, which passes off during
the process of baking.
The Royal is made from pure grape
acid, and it is the action of this acid
upon highly carbonized bicarbOnate of
soda that generates the gas alluded to;
and these ingredients are so pure and
SO perfectly fitted, tested and adapted
to each other, that the action is mild
and permanent, and is continued dur
ing the whole time of baking, and no
residue of poisonous ingredients re-
mains to undermine the health, no
heavy biscuits, no sour bread, but if
directions are followed, every article
with the Royal Baking Pow
der will be found sweet and whole

PLAYERS HARD TO PLEASE
An Umpire Tells What He Knows About
Chronic Baseball Kickcrs.

An Umpire Tells What He Knows About
Chronic Baseball Kickcrs.
Now the science of pitching curved balls
has been carried so far that it is often diff
cult to decide whether the ball has actually
gone over the plate or not. AS it leaves the
pitchers hands the ball may look as If it was
going many inches to one side or the other.
But just before it reaches the plate it curves
inward or outward, as the case may be
and shoots over the plate just where the
batter wanted it. 1t may deceive the batter
until too late, it may even deceive the umpire,
but it is almost certain to deceive the out
siders who are not 50 close to the plate and
have not the same opportunity of judging.
Suppose you call this strike. If the batter
be one of the visiting team, the crowd re-
ceives your decision with noisy delight He
kicks and the crowd Kisses him. But If he
belongs to the home club the crowd desire to
kill you and wish you an unpleasant time in
the next world Or a batsman is running to
first base after hit The ball is fielded and
thrown to the baseman. It is difficult to say
which gets there first, ball or runner. One
impartial man might think the ball was first,
another might think the runner But the
crowd is not impartial. It makes up its mind
according to its preferences, and if your de
cision favors the home nine it applauds you,
if not it hiSses you. In any event you have
to stand the kicking of the nine who lose by
your decision.
Indeed, one of the worst enemies of the UNI
pire is the kicking player In most instances
it is he who gives the audience the cue for
kicking There are players, of course, who
never say word or make a move that would
lead the audience to believe they were dis
satisfied with the umpires rulings. But l
know others who recognize the fact that an
umpire may be "rattled" by the hooting of
spectators, and SO deliberately raise dis
turbance with that object in view.
Others, again, are chronic kickers, who can
not help giving vent to their feelings in the
excitement of the moment, and who, after the
game, are repentant and beg the umpire's
pardon for their conduct. | have often been
asked: "Why don't you fine such menW Well
an old ball player doesn't like to be hard on
his former brethren. Besides even if he does
overcome his reluctance, he cannot be sure
that the fine will be paid. The club to which
the player belongs does not always, not even
usually, take the part of the umpire. Instead
of exacting the penalty, they often do their
best to remove the offending umpire from his
position Joseph j. Ellick in Lppincott's

How to Eat MacarOni.

At crowded table dhote on the west side
a reporter was seated opposite French
gentleman whose repast had progressed as far
as macaroni. After polite salutation and
few words as to the weather the French
gentleman said:
Zone of re most breelyont writaires has said
Eat re man who will deliberately CT up hees
salad would murder hees grandmozaire. It
ees equally true Eat re man who will chop up
his macaroni ees capable of any wat you call
atroceetee. Fare ees only one way to eat ~
macaroni."
Thereupon the French gentleman tucked
the edge of his napkin within his collar and
enveloped his body in the linen so far as was
possible Then he inserted his fork in the
middle of the portion of macaroni and twisted
it around till he was able to raise to his mouth
sufficient of the food to establish a connection
between himself and his plate, and having
securely established such connection he olsen
gagged the fork with a dexterous twirl and
lowered it to the main body of macaroni at
the same time beginning mastication, &C
companied by an indrawing of the breath,
which had a persuasive effect on the inter-
vening column Of nutriment, and needed to
be supplemented only by slight urging and
pricking up with the fork to make the ascent
constant, process which was continued, with
an expression of the utmost satisfaction on
the part of the partaker, till the entire portion
of food had assembled to his lips, even to the
final length, which disappeared in a manner
of the vanishing of a bell cord in
passenger car when coupling link breaks.
Then the French gentleman took dry
shampoo in his napkin and, with a triumph
ant look, accompanied by the characteristic
gesture of his people, he said:
