ACTRESSES sUPERsTITIoNs.

Some of the Queer Fancies That Af-
feet Their Actions.
French actresses, like those of this
country, have their superstitions.
Marie Laurent, who was born in 1896,
and who, In her 6lst year is still ac-
counted star at the Ambigu in
Paris, apprehends trouble and disaster
whenever the curtain, having started
on its ascent, is allowed to return to
the floor. Nine. Pasca, perhaps the
most delightful actress in voice and
form and gesture that appeared on the
Gymnase stage during the empire,
cannot bear to pass the salt at the
table, even when it is asked for; to see
loaf turned upside down, or the
knife and fork placed cross-ways at
meal time; while Ernestine Desclanzas
who, when she first appeared, in
1859, at theatre on the Boulevard du
Temple, in "Heloise ct Abelard," was
as thin as pikestaff, and is now as
stout and clustering as q walrus-as-
severates that pinch of salt must be
thrown over the left shoulder when
ever an accident occurs at the table.
Judic-whose very name proclaims
her Judaic origin-cannot bear to see
three lights burning at time in the
same room; and Mile. Agar, who SO
bravely sang the "Marseillaise" at the
Palace Of the Tuilerics during the
Commune, while the cannon doomed
its awful music from Valerien, is
sorely troubled and perplexed il, at re-
hearsals, she finds an odd--or aneven
Il forget which)-numbcr of nails
lying about the stage, for then
she knows she is going to
be sick before the end of
her engagement. Theo, who 'sings
so delightfully."- with her shoulders" /"
as the Nestors of theatrical criticisms
aver, believes that it is very unlucky
to catch sight of a hunchback and not
touch his hump. The pretty actress
will, in fact, 60 out of her way and
dodgebone q mile to get a chance to dc
so, as If by accident and without being
seen. Croizette, who retired from the
stage of the Comedie Franchise on q
pension, and married rich banker
attributes her success in life to the
fact that one day she picked up 9

luck, it must have been shoe from

A Queer Character Who Has Made a

Fortune In Queer Way.
AS Roscoe Conkling, Joseph IL.
Choate and William M. Evarts were
leaving the Court House after a big
trial the other day, they encountered
decrepit old woman in the corridor.
She grimaced and the eminent jurists
raised their hats and bowed with
courtly dignity. A half dozen big
tenement houses, bundle of Gov
eminent bonds and shares in an up
town savings bank represent the old
woman's worldly possessions, and yet
she can neither read, write nor
cipher. She is the best known char
acter in the Offices of the city govern
Inent. When the late William NJ.
Tweed first came into power, "Aunt
Sally as she is called, used
10 peddle peanuts and apples
economy she had saved a little
money. Tweed, who would do any
thing for any one he took q liking TO,
advised Sally to put her little savings
into "spec," which he promised
would turn out well. Sally made
several hundred per cent. profit on
her investment. In those days every
politician owned high silk hat and
a silk umbrella. Sally made it
her business to become acquainted
with every politician, lawyer and
office holder Of consequence, and at
stated times visited them TO collect
discarded hats, umbrellas and other
articles of wearing apparel. She car
ries on that business to-day in
connection with her peanut
and apple trade. The hats and
umbrellas she repairs herself,
and sells them often for half their
original cost Coachmen, hack drivers
and colored dudes are her best Gus
toners, Her income from this source
alone is very big. She adds several
thousand dollars yearly to her for
tune. Her age is a mystery. Some
of the old-timers say she is over a
century old, and that she is witch.
She dresses in rags and always pleads
poverty. The records in the Regis
