The NTeanest Man

Burrows was an inveterate tobacco
chewer, but as hisewife detested the prac-
tice he always chewed when away during
the day, and declared that ne had stopped
permanently. But one evening. drawing
out his handkerchief, he accidentally
pulled out his paper of tobacco, and, with
out noticing 1t, left it lying on the floor
When Burrows sat down TO tea, his wife
walked in with the tobacco in her hand,
and looking Burrows firmly in the eve,
said: 800 you know who that belongs top
With great presence of mind Burrows
turned scOwling to his oldest boy and
said, with a severe voice, Immortal
Mars, Is it possible that you have begun
TO chew tobacco, you young reprOhate?
Come here to me, or Pll tear the jacket of
OF you" And as ne spoke, the father
made grab at the boy and dragged him
out in the entry. where he chastised him
with a cane. Then Burrows threw the
tobacco over the fence, where he went out
and got it in the morning, and enjoyed it
during the day. ''Merciful MOses!' he
exclaimed, when he told us about it.
"what should l have done il my children
had been all girls? 1t makes an old
fathers heart glad when he feels that he
has a boy he can depend on in such emer-
gencieS."

age OF ID, in Vienna, Janish went for
some years to the Royal Theatre, in Ber-

ceived the personal congratulations of
the Emperor, with whom she was ALWAYS
a great favorite. In 1871 she returned to
the Burg Theatre, IN Vienna, where for
ten years she held an undisputed position.
II was during this period that the young
Count Arco, a member Of one OF the
haughtest aud most distinguished Aus
tran noble families won her heart and
made her his wife. The whole town
turned out to their wedding, which was
the event OF the hour. Two years ago
Janish came to this country, induced to-
do SO by her friend, Christine Nilsson.
Since then her career is we'll known. The
press and public have acknowledged her
great charms, ner marvellous winning
manner, and her high qualifications as an
