on the brilliant idea of taking unto him

LYNDHURST.

The new Mrs. Gould is taller than her hus-
band She has handsome features. brown
eyes and dark hair, and a remarkably clear
complexion. On the stage her manner was
lively and dashing. At her wedding she wore
black silk dress with sparkling solitaire dia-
mond ear rings. She was Brooklyn girl all
her later life, though born in Boston. Brook

Beecher, is more devoted to amateur theatri-
Gals than any other city in the Union 1t is
noted for its amateur plays. Many actors
drift from them into the regular profession.
That was what Miss Kingdom did. She went
on the road one season, and then played at
the Boston Museum. Her short life has been
q series of lucky accidents. 1t was by
accident she got her first regular en-
gagement. The lady who was to take
the place failed to come to time, and
Miss Kingdom was snapped up in pinch and
put in her stead. In exactly the same way
she got her place in the Boston Museum 1t
was an accident that George Gould saw her
first performance at Daly's, and fell in love
with her. To be sure, she is a good girl and
deserves all her fair fortune; but there are
thousands of others with quite as much merit
who do not get anything.

YACHT ALVA.

That is to say it has ostensibly been built
there As q matter of fact the Alva Is more
British than American. She was designed
in England The Alva's hull is of mild
steel, and she was built under the inspection
of the British I.lOyds.
She is the largest pleasure steamer i'll
America, being 2S5 feet long. If the Van
derbilts were ever to be ruined i'll their for
tunes they could sell the Alva for regular
ocean steamer and get enough for her to
keep them out of the Doorhouse.
The Alva, they say, cost half million OF
money. They say, too, that the total cost OF
running her. added to the interest of the first
cost, will amount to nearly SO, 900 a month.
That is more money than the average citizen
of the world owns in his whole life.
The Alva is three-master, regular ocean
steamer pattern. She is lighted by electricity
and steered by steam. The cylinders are ~
and 40 inches with 42-inch stroke. The pro-
peller is of phosphor-bronze and is 13 feet in
diameter, cast in Glasgow.

Commissioners leased the race track to
the Jockey Club, they had no idea that
resort would be had to high fence Of this
kind to shut out the people from view OF
the races The Jockey Club has taken
advantage OF this omission in the lease
to put up the fence in question. Al
though large sums of money have been
expended by the Legislature to improve
the Park, we find that the public are
shut out from its full enjoyment by
score Of gentlemen organized as aJockey
Club Association. Now, while we are
favorable to horse-racing, we see no rea-
son to identify this sport with the Jockey
Club fence around the race track, and
cannot possibly account for the action OF
OF the liberal patrons OF races in this
matter. There are not more than ten
race days in the year, yet to prevent the
public getting any show for a free
sight of the running on those days, the
Jockey Club shuts out the view Of four
fifths OF the Park, with its grand sweep
OF verdure, during the remainder OF the
year. We regard this as something
more than wrong" it is an outrage
upon the people.

A Great Enterprise just Inaugurated.

A Great Enterprise just Inaugurated.
An immense scheme for the supply of
water to Bombay has just been inaugur-
ated at a point six miles distant from the
city, under the Bhore Ghauts, half way
between the stations of Callian and Egut-
poOra, on the Great Indian Peninsula rail
way. Here there will be created a lake
of eight miles in area; from it an aque-
duct will be constructed to carry the
water to the city. A dam 1900 feet in
length, 118 feet in height, and 100 feet
wide at the base, is being built across the
Tansa valley to impOund the waters of the
river, and it will require six years for its
completion. 1t will contain over 10000,
600 cubic feet of masonry, which Will be
built in installments, each years work
stretching across the valley, so that the
water may accumulate behind it from the
gathering ground.
The contractors have already commenced
work on the foundations, and have pre-
pared a village for the reception of their
work people. The neighbOrhood is en-
tirely desOlate, and all the artisans have
come from a distance. Already 1900 peo-
pie have gathered to the place, and it is
expected that the number will rise to
10000. A special water supply has been
laid down for them, and every arrange
ment made for their health and comfort.
The stone is found in the neighborhoOd,
but the bunker and chunam come from a
great distance, and a branch line is to be
laid from the railway to deliver them di-
rect to the SDOt-Erank IeSlie'S.

Bring Science to the Rescue.

Can not some ingenious Yankee invent
artificial feathers and so take the wind
out of the sails of the OrnithOlogists' union
and the Audubon society? The discovery
of petroleum has saved the whales from
determination, and the manufacture of
celIuloid in imitation of ivory is destined
to supersede the use of the latter article,
aud so give the dear old elephants a rest.
Verify, science is big magician, and will
shortly supersede all natural products.
The next thing we look for is the manu-
facture of scientific food to take the place
of bread and meat. Some one will take a
load of dirt and put it into machine, ex-
tract all the nourishment from it, and
and sell the product for . cent pound.
Then half the population will be starving
from overproduction, we suppose. That's
the way these benefits wOrk.-Texas Sift-

Tbe NIvthicaI Tea of China.

"You have often heard" said dealer to
me the other day, that there is an ex-
quisite tea in China which never comes to
this country, and that what little of it
leaves that country goes to Russia to de-
light the nobility of that country. 1t is
said that people in this country have never
tasted real cup of tea, and so on. Now,
so far as l can Iearn-and 1 think l ought
to know-this is all myth. There is no
tea in China which can not easily be i'm
ported into this country. The Chinese
have a kind of tea that they think is bet
ter than what they send US, but we could
not drink it. 1t is very weak and has a
mawkish flavor that is rather sickening to
us. Cor. Chicago Journal

Gondolas and Gondoliers OF Venice.

On these evenings it is amusing to
watch the elegant private gondolss wait
ing in crowds TO 7, ear their fair mistresses
home. 1t is a regular battle Of the boats.
Each gondOlier does his best TO get his
floating carriage up to the steps first, and
vast is the pushing and scufling, loud the
uproar. One by one the carven barks,
with glittering prows and tufted funeral
coverings, emerge from below the dark
ness of the bridges into the dimly-nghted
canal; q plank is laid to the shore; in
one hand the sprucely -dressed gondolier
holds q beautiful lantern Of worked iron
and ancient design, the other he offers to
his mistress, who, leaning lightly on his
shoulder, trips into the gondola, and,
deity turning around, backs as grace
fully as she can into her coffln-hke cabin
Here, where the ordinary carriage looks,
Byron says: "a coffin clapped on a canoe
the genuine funeral conveyance is more
like a gala barge. In the midst OF the
long and graceful bark the coffin is
sheltered below a rich canopy Of draped
black and silver stuff, glittering in the
sun, and in singular contrast TO the unre-
heved sumberness of the gondolas which
carry the living.
On one which I saw the other day,
silver lion of St. Mark crouched in the
stern, while on the PROV stood the silver,
ife-sized figure of an angel with a
trumpet. The gondoliers, too, were
dressed in black and silver, their arms
and legs covered with close-itting black
and white stuff, and on their heads black
caps with white, curling feathers-a strik
ing and probably very ancient costume.
The truth is that all the sights and sounds
of Venice have peculiar fascination of
their own, and Mr.. Howells is quite right
when he says that however long one may
live here, one never gets thoroughly IA
miliarized or blase with the place You
may imagine you do, you may cease to
think about it, and then all of a sudden
the beauty, the attraction, the strange
ness strikes you as wildly as the first
time, and enwrap you and carry you off
from ordinary, work-a-day hfe.-Florence

Pure old water color painting must be

There is no china painting, no glass paint
