after those who spoke of English actresses
must count with her, and in the following
year she married William Hunter Grimston,
a young gentleman of the family which bears
the title of the earls Of Verulam, but who
himself had chosen to be an actor, and who
wore the stage name Of Kendall
The record of the ensuing twenty years is
one of steady progress in art and of unbroken
popularity. To recount the individual sue
cesses of the couple in plays new and old dur
ing this period would be to write in consid-
cradle part the history of the stage in Lon
don for two decades. Long ago Mrs. Kendall
achieved undisputed rank as the best of Eng
fish actresses within the lines laid down by
Nherself and her selection of plays, and she has
done nothing since that has not added more
or less to her triumphs. If it has been some
times rather less than more, the fault has
been with the playwrights rather than with
the actress.

PRoMPTERs' PRATTLE.

Duncan B. Harrison recently made a sad
Journey to New York city from Frisco. The
accident to his ankle, sustained last season
while making his perilous jump in ''The Pay
MASTER has resulted most seriously. Mr..
Harrison was obliged to close his season prem
atuyely. On his arrival in New York he was
obliged to submit to the amputation of his
foot which brings his acting days to an end.
This catastrophe will excite the sympathy of
the unfortunate actors friends.
=. Charles Fechters grave in Mount Vernon
y cemetery, near Philadelphia, has fallen into
[ a state of decay. A marble bust Of the great
romantic actor, which formerly stood on the
monument, has been replaced by duplicate
of clay, which is rapidly succumbing to the
destructive attacks of the elements. Weeds
cover the small Enclosure, which is in a prom
inent part of the grounds where its neglect is
conspicuous to all visitors.
The daughter of Mrs Alice Dunning Lin
gard, Miss Lulu Lingard, is shortly to be
married to young lawyer in London named
Wicks. Miss Lulu is a beautiful girl, not
1uite so tall as her mother, but resembling
her very much in stateliness and general
good looks. She is also an extremely clever
writer. and contributes to the London peri
iS,dicals. Some of her recent stories, although
'4written anonymously, have attracted a great
deal of attention in London.
A contemporary, writing of the servant
on the STAGE" says: "All good servant girls
on the stage are Irish. All male visitors are
expected to kiss the servant girl when they
come into the house, and say, DO you know,
Jane, think you are an uncommonly nice
giri-click.' They always say this. And she
likes it. Years ago, when we were young,
we thought we would see if they were the
same of the stage, and when we called at a
friends house we tried it on. The girl ran
behind sofa, screamed for help, and after
wIsd sued US for $3.50 damages. We Dor
rowed the money and paid her. Since then
we have lost faith in the drama as guide to
the conduct of life. "
The Indians with the Wild West show in
Paris had little joke among themselves the
other night. In the scene where the stage
coach is attacked by redskins and nobly de-
Tended by few cowboys, the Indians, instead
of allowing themselves to be defeated, showed
fight, and rumor sayeth that the cowboys
concluded that the only way to get out hon
orably was to get out quick. Of course, this
story is denied by the cowboys, but there are
bings it's better. not to dwell on.

Eel Skins for Rheumatism.

\ reporter the other day paid a visit
to Billlng~gate and made som, inquiries.
One of the largest eel dealers in the
great London fish market gave some in
tercsting information on the subject.
"Well," he said, al know of num-
bcrs of clscs in which they have been
used with complete success. They are
stretched on 4 board and dried; then,
10 make them plant, they are slightly
Iois;cned and ticl around the suffering
limb. They are worn as gar;er., ankles,
bracelets and armlcts. They arc even
worn around the waist-next to the
skin, OF course - for lumbago and
sciatica. Hundreds of London Cabmen
wear them and swear by them; and !
have Il number of gentlemen Gus. omers
in the country who ask me to send them
eel skins TO give away TO the poor peo-
pie of their districts. Persons who
lave once worn them will never be
without them if they can help it. But

crty they possess; perhaps after ali 1t Is

How Salmon are Canned.

At Mc;takahtla. Alaska, we wit,es.ol

us, puts up 81. 600 cans of salmon for ,
full day work. The fish are all cauob,

dcring them, cooking, labelling. maxine

below cut of proper size, boxing, etc
IS done by Cinnamon. We saw prob.
ably 5000 or 10. 600 salmon, WEIGHING
from three to 10 pounds each, lying in
the fish house and in boats, just caught
and awaiting the processes that were to
prepare them for commerce and con.
sumption. On set Of Cinnamon cuts
oil their heads, tails and fins, rips them
open and removes the cntrails, and
throws them INTO tanks Of water: an.
other set places them on an inclined
plane with sides to it and contracting
into a narrow trough in which are revoly.
ing knives which cut them into pieces
and at the end of the trough they are
after having been sailed, put into the
cans, which are brought to hand By ma.
chinery. The cans are then sealed, and
several dozens Of them arc taken up at
once in round iron crates and lifted bv
machinery and dropped into tank of
hot water, called the tester, because if
any air Is emitted from the cans when
heated, making bubble, in the water.
those cans are taken out as being i'm.
perfectly s,.d,rai and are resealed.
After this test the cans, by similar ma
chincry, are piacci IL other tanks of

Then they arc hoiStcd out, placed on
round tables, still held together in the
iron crates. and the top of each can is
struck with mallct having a pointed

small hole in the can, through which
Jet Of hot water spur;s into the air, so
that the Chinaman performing this

to be wary OF getting scaldcd. The

The Demand for Shetland Ponies.

4 great deal of interest has recently
been taken in the large shipments from
this city of Shetland ponies To Vermont
for general breeding purposes. There is
probably no one more competent 10 talk
about these interesting little bits of horse
flesh than George ". El"in. collector
and breeder in Scotland. who arrived
from the other side last week 10 investi-
gate the cause of the demand that has
sprung up for his pet stock. Referring
20 the methods Of raising Shetland ponies,
he said:
THE race. 50 far a> pure strains Of
blood are concerned. is almost extinct.
\ wrong impression prevails that these
ponies are bred in the shetland Isles.
whereas there are fewer there now thar
probably in any othcrquarlcr Of thc globe.
There was time when some rich families
in that group of islands, with recollectionS
of fcudal times. used to take great pride
in sending ponies to the lords and fine
gentlemen of the Southern boroughS
Now the average Shctlander is 50 poor
that the brcedin" of Shetland ponies has
given way to the smoked fish industry.
1t is often said regarding the poverty of
the inhabitants thai calf can only he
permitted to live forty eight hours. and
after being served with pail of water, is
slaughtered for immediate use.
THE ambition of the Shetlandcr seems
to have died ont with the departure a few
years AGO of 4 favoritc sheriff OF the
islands, who is now Governor OF the
Island Of }iaUritiuS. lie WAS accustomed
to encourage the industries of Mainland.
the island OF which Lorwick, the princi-
pal shipping port, IS the capital. Ills
wife used to drive 4 four-in hand basket
Phacton, drawn by four shaggy specimens
ofthc genuine Shetland pony. With the
sheriff resignation the Shctlanders re-
sumed their listlcsS apathy. and there Is
no such thing rs the weekly steamer
plying to Lcrwick bringing Il single con-
signmcnt. Even the old family Of Bruce
sold AL lis belongings this summer, and
now dealers have GOT to depend upon
what can be obtained from the farm, in
Aberdecn>hire.
"Thc dimiuutivc little horse, are
shipped by steamer to Lcith and thence
to Glasgow. 1t is from the latter city
that the American market is supplied.
All the characteristics Of the Shetland
pony have been lost and the familiar
shaggy hair has been supplanted by the
sleek coat of brown or smoky gray. The
finest pair OF ponies in the United States,
named Dot and pet" were raised bv
the Duke Of Buccleuch and are owned, L
believe, by young lady of twelve sum
