An Indignant English Man.
Buffalo Express

Clever Tom Whiffen tells me this
anecdote: Before the days of rapid
transit on t1e Atlantic, English actors
were far and few between IN this coun-
try. In those times an Englishman
in America was more, or less curios
ity-as many of them are ever now.
In company which was doing Shake
speare at one of the Boston theaters
was an English actor named Coleman.
He was an actor of the old school,
and quite as tragic off the stage as on.
His fellow players chaffed him In the
dressing rooms on account of his be-
ing an Englishman, and particularly
on difficulty he had in the use of the
aspirate. This had been done so much
that the actor was reused to furious
ness if any one dared to initiate his
dcockmey misuse of the eighth letter
of our alphabet. One morning he
came down to breakfast at the Ire
mont house in not very pleasant
frame of mind. He had been chafed
pretty hard the evening before, and in
addition had not slept well. The
waiter-a darkey of the darkest hue
laid the bill of fare before him and
awaited his order.
Gave you hany fresh heggs this
morning?" asked Coleman.
eyes sah," answered the darkey;
"'ow'll you ave 'em cooked sah2 boil
ed, scrambled, fried, homelet; hany
way you like, sah."
Coleman turned quickly, gave the
waiter sharp look, frowned, and
then as though making up his mind
that his ears had deceived him, indi-
Gated his preference Ia the way of
"hegs."
"Hany thing helse, sah9" asked
the waiter. ''Cawn beef ash is very
nice, sab, dis mawnin'. Bit of fish,
sahs 'Alibut steak, sab, fnnan 'ad-
der, Trash cod -" Coleman's face
had turned purple. He jumped to his
feet caught the waiter by the collar,
and held him at arms length.
'What do mean, sirrah?" he roared
"by himitatlng gentleman's speech.

"You lie, you villain," beloved
Coleman. you've been paid for thisr
By this time some Of the other guests
had INTERVIEWED. and the darkey. pale
with fear, was released from the ACTORS
clutches. The head waiter youched
for the fact that the darkey was an
Engllshman, born at Putney, and
Coleman, restored to his equilibrium,
settled down to breakfast again, but
with change of walters.

XII,

On the evening of Monday in the new
week the last of the visitors had left Mount
Morven. Mrs. Linley dropped into chair
Gin, what Randall called, ''the heavenly tran.
guilty of the deserted drawing-room'' and
owned that the effort Of entertaining he1
guests had completely worn her out. "lt's
too absurd at my time Of life" she said, with
faint smile, ''but am really and truly SO
tired that must go to bed before dark, as If
was a child again."
Mrs Presty-maliciously observant of the
goyerness, sitting silent end apart in a cor
ner-approached her daughter in a hurry, to
all appearances with a special object in view.
Linley was at no loss to guess what that OBJ.
ject might be. ''Will you do me favor.
Catherine?" Mrs. Presty began. Il wish to
say word to you in your own ROOM"
ooh, mamma, have some mer Y on me and
put it off till Tomorrow
Mrs. Presty reluctantly consented to this
proposal on one condition. 1T is under
Stood" she stipulated, that l am to see you
the first thing in the morning."
Mrs. Linley was ready to accept that con-
dition or any condition which promised heI
night of uninterrupted repose. She cross
ed the room to her husband and took his arm.
LII my Sldle VI ldtlSue, helDeIl, SIidu IeN-
er get up our steep stairs unless you help
me-"
As they assembled the stairs together Lin
ley found that his wife had reason of heI
own for leaving the drawing-room.
Il am quite weary enough to go to bed,'
she explained. But l wanted to speak to
you first. It's about Miss Westerfeld. (No,
no, we needn't stop on the landing). Do you

The compilations of the German
race have been studied of late by Pro
fessor Virchow, who reports that 80
per cent. of the German youth are
blondes-that is, have light hair, blue
eyes and fair skin; IA per cent. are
brunettes, while 81 per cent. show
some 1aixture of these types. The
proportion of blondes is largest in the
north. especially in Oldenburg, rarest
in Bavaria and Alsace. Of German
Jews one in ten is a true blonde.

pERILs OF INFANCY.

doctor, why is it that SO many children
die before the age OF yearsF
"TLe subject is q complex one, and in
its analysis we have to consider not only
the various conditions surrounding the
infant, but the still more important one of
the latent tendency to disease. The
fashionable mother, the self.indulgent
father, hand down to their children over
wrought nervous systems and weak
physical powers, which result in early
death, or more often a life of protracted
feebleness. Very little of the common
sense which is exercised in the rearing
and preserving of choice stock exists In
relation to the human animal. 1t would
require too long time to enter into all
the questions of heredity which influence
the fate of the child. They are however
of vital Importance both to the individual
and to the race. That the race is gaining
in intellectual capacity is an undoubted
fact; but we are losing just as much or
more in physical power. We see no such
robust forms, such perfect development of
the muscular system as existed fifty years
ago. We are breeding children in and in,
and every generation will witness smaller
| and smaller infants, who will at the same
time have more delicate nervous organ
isms, and, as a result, more nervous dis
| eases. Add to this the enervating enyi-
ronment, the houses, the sleeping apart
ments, the nurses and attendants who
govern its food and raiment, and we may
easily imagine the result in the fee5leness
of the infant"
''Gil Bias writes: MY troubles com
menced just nine months before l was
born,' and the same assertion may be
made of the children of to-day. yor
healthy, strong offspring, there must be
healthy, strong parents. The peril of the
child lies not SO much in the adverse con-
ditions of its life as in it's incapability to
withstand them, and this is due in q great
measure to the physical condition Of its
parents during CESSATION"
but, doctor, may not something be
done to- remedy this weakness in the
parentsP
''Much. If parents will understand that
upon the integrity and strength of theit
nervous system depend the health and
life of their infants, aud at the same time
will be less mortality and less sickness OF
their infants"
What will best strengthen feeble
| nervous systemT
Fresh air, exercise, less struggle fol
fashionable or social distinction, and a
careful attention to the food or drink
| which supplies the elements of nerve
| force. If the system has notpower enough
| at first to eliminate these from food, theI
they may be taken as medicine. AnC
| since we know upon what the nervous
| system depends for strength, the comb

Oddities of the Atmosphere.

II it were possible to rise above the
atmosphere which surrounds the earth
we should see nothing but an intense
and sharply defined ball of FIRE, while
everything else would be wrapped in
total darkness. There could be no diffu-
sion of light without an atmosphere, or
some similar medium for it to act upon;
but if the air about us extended to a
height of seven hundred milcs. the
rays of the sun could not penetrate it
and we should be left in darkness. At
the depth of seven hundred feet in the
ocean the light ceases altogether, one
half of the light being absorbed in
passing through only seven feet of the
purest water.-ScieaacS.

"A TERRIBLE OUTRAGE"

God pity this girl! this unfortunate one
To whom such horrible outrage was done;
SO foul an injustice, so mighty wrong
AS to blight every prospect and still every
song;
Her honor was sacred,-were she my child
or thine
We might then know the depths Of this
damnable crime.
So foul that to speak of it poisons the
breath
sodark thatit calls for the penalty-deotht
All the hopes of her life in a moment were
killed
did as he willed.
Her cries for protection, her agonized
prayer
Fell back to her lips from the frost-lader-
ed air;
And she as child in that fiend's cruel
grasp;
A poor, mourning victim resistance all
past;-
IT'S hard TO await the slow process of law
When SO many strong hands stronger halt
er would draw.
But men, be ye 81eni be patient and true
Be ye bulwarks Of order, we are looking
to you
TO show us that you can protect and defend
Through the action of Lar, ON you we'll
depend
TO execute that which is honest and right,
ProUtng Justice and LdlO are not meas
@red by might;
SO honor and power to yourselves you'll be
bringing
And prove yourselves heroes when the
Lar does the slciagiag.
Let him rest in his cell, for his future pre-
pare
Give advantage Of counsel, defence and of
prayer;
Curtail not right, not privilege deny
But If guilty, then let han, most certainly
die!
Ye war not for Vengeance, tits justice we
ask;
With you rests its issue and yours be the
task
To prove to the world, that as men We are
just
And worthy to have and to execute trust.
