 The fndniryis sometimes made: "What kind cf people five on canal boatsm To find out for myself, l spent some time on the piers and the boats, and had several interviews with boat owners and their families. l found any amount of practical good sense among these people, and de- gree of intelligence quite equal to that in ordinarily weil-to communities. The majority of them own their boats many own two or three, and q few are largely interested in this way, not only owning many boats. but warehouses and piers, which they let for general wharfage pur- poses AF
 "Tfere are men,n remarked one of the most successful boatmen, "who spend all of their lives on the canal, and. die peoY; but this IS by no means the fault of the business Such men are always found among strikers and malcontents, or they drink or gamble, or have tired spells and lay of a few weeks, perhaps in tho busl- est season. All of the boat owners learn their habits, and will not employ them ex- cept in cases of necessity. Then they erumble and declare that 'Jhe life is dog's life and no man can get on in 1t ex- cept he is lucky On the other hand. a man who is industrious and sober can own his own boat in a few years, and be inde- pendentn

A Valuable. Franchise Secured,

The franchise of easy digestion-one of the most valuable in the gift of medical science -can be secured by any person wise enough to use Hostetter's Stomach Bitters, either to suppress growing dyspepsia, or to uproot 1t at maturity. Bilious, rheumatic and fever and ague sufferers, persons troubled with nervousness and the eonstipated, should also secure the health franchise by the same means.

LOST HER LIONS,
Sarah Bernhardt Gets Rid of Her
Troublesome whelps.


LONDON, April 24.-Sarah Bernhardt has
got rid of her lions whelps. Their terrible
"mauvaise odeur' was the main reason why
probable appetites for human flesh they were
stuffed every day with raw meat. 1t being
impossible to take them out for walks,
they were gloomy IN confinement, losing
their kittenish graces and playfulness.
Not one Of the four dresses worn by Nine.
Bernhardt as Lena in Gas in a Looking
Glass; was ready before the evening on
which she made her first appearance in that
character, and two of them arrived when
she was on the stage. II they had been
brought early she would have been sure to
have got out of conceit with them and mis-
trusted their effect, perfect as they were
in taste and well adapted as they were to
the part which she had to play. No great
actress ever depended more upon all those
fine feathers that make fine birds than
Sarah. All four costumes were designed
by workmen who did them entirely out of
their heads, but who were enabled TO see
the famous actress while rehearsing the
piece.
After they had studied her in her part
they were given q quantity OF stuffs and
told to compose dresses adapted to the
character, situations and physiognomy of
the star who was to wear them. All mo-
tion was unbampered by them, as they
were without stiff Innings, and not the
faintest attempt was made to give undue
development TO the dorsal region. In this
respect they should please Mrs. Cleve-
land.
Sarah was not quite so good at the first
representation as at the last rehearsal. In
the second and third acts she dropped down
somewhat She says that she did 1t on pur-
pose so as not to keep the emotional fibres
of the audience too long strained, and to
let them rest little before she stirred them
to the utmost in the fourth act, when she

to XIII herself with a nerve-lulling potion.
She is right to avoid being frightful In the
mimicry of death. Cleopatra chose the asp
to be her executioner, SO as to avoid con
tortion, and In doing so was true daugh-
ter of the Greek line. Lend's death is not
realistic, but is all the better for that since
.'it is ,u,e belle mort"
Lena is n character full OF contrasts.
Hence its suitableness to Nine. Bernhardt,
who can be playful, caressing, amusing,
whimsical, seductive and then tragical in
her terror and her despair. Somehow she
manages to show on her face that death is
coming. The "rigor mortisn is limited at
in its lines, not through its makeup, but
through the play Of the muscles. She then
stiflens and falls out Of her stand fiat on
the floor stone dead. The fur-trimmed,
white pelisse, with its long train, serves as
her winding sheet.-Ispecial the New York

THE SPRING PESTS.
How Protection Can BE Secured
Against Clothes Moths.


Against Clothes Moths.
During the latter part of May or early in
June n vigorous campaign should he
entered upon. All carpets, clothes, cloth
covered furniture, furs and rugs should be
thoroughly shaken and aired, and, II posi-
BILE, exposed to the sunlight as long as
practicable. II the house is badly infested
or If any particular article Is supposed to
be badly infested, free use Of benzine, IN
the manner mentioned in my last article,
will be advisable. All floor cracks and
dark closets should be sprayed with this
substance. Too much pains cannot be
taken to destroy every moth and every egg
and every newly-hatched larva, for immu-
nifty for the rest of the year depends
largely-almost entirely-upon the thor
oughness with which the work of exterm-
nation is carried on at this time. The
benzine spray will kill the insect in every
stage, and IL is one Of the few substances
which will destroy the egg. would, how
ever, repeat the caution as TO its inlamma-
bility. No light should be brought into q
room in which IL has been used until after
q thorough airing and until the odor is
almost dissipated.
The proper packing away Of furs aud
winter clothing through the summer is q
serious matter. A great deal OF unneces-
sary expenditure In the way Of cedar chests
COul-
pounds in the way OF powders has been
urged by writers on these pests. But ex-
perience fully proves that after a thorough
treatment in May or June, garments may be
safely put away for the rest of the season
with no other protection than wrapping
them closely in stiff paper. An excellent
plan is to buy for small sum from tailor
number OF paste-board boxes in which
they deliver suits, and carefully fold and
puck away all clothes, cumming strip of
wrapping paper around the edge OF the
cover so as TO leave no crack. These boxes
will last for lifetime with careful use.
Others use for the same purpose ordinary
paper flour sacks or linen pillow cases,
which answer well. The success OF these
means depends entirely on the thorough
ness of the preliminary work. Camphor,
tobacco, naphthaline and other strong
odorants are only partial repellants and
without the precautions urged are Of little
avail,-[Good housekeeping.
