Her Novel Mode of Entertainment Voted
u Success in New York.
There was great throng at Chickering
hall, New York, the other night to hear
Mrs. Alice j. Shaw, the whistler. At 8
o'clock the entrance to the hall was
damned. Seven numbers were heard be-
fore Mrs. Shaw appeared. To most of the
audience she was novelty, and not even
Josef Hoffman was looked upon with keener
curiosity at his debut than was she as
she walked from the waiting room to
the footlights. She held piece Of
sheet music, 'sMia Piccirelia, by Comes,
jim her hand just as though she weresgoing
to sing from it, Nobody knew which was
to have turn first, the whistle or the
piano. 1t was the piano. A short, mean
ingless prelude began the affair, and then
Mrs. Shaw held up her head and put out
her flexible lips like pretty school girl un-
der the light of the moon. The sound that
followed was not suggestive Of the moon
light scene. It was soft, silvery trill that
hung for an instant at the same note and
then darted away in liquid melody High
and low, presto and adagio, it went, now
clustering forte like mad winter
wind around house corner, and again
waiting sentimentally after the portamento
fashion Of q lover tenor. It was an inter
esting performance and when the piece was
finished the applause was genuine and
hearty. OF course she was recalled, and
The second piece was as good and as well
done as the first. Then there was more ap-
plause, and after coming out to bow her
acknowledg four times Mrs. Shaw
whistled third piece. Mrs Shaw was a
sensational pouting success.

Hard Tack.

''Talk Of the staff of life, - said an officer
IN the provisions and clothing department.
Of the navy yard the other day, 'here's a
regular chunk Of IT."
He held up to the reporters gaze what
looked like a very light brown encaustic
tile. "That's hard TACK" he went on,
"joy of the sailors life, the backbone of
the navy, the shipboard bread staple for
everybody, admirals and marines alike.
WHAT'S it made Of? Nothing but flour and
water, but what can't be made of it? A
good sea cook can turn it into twenty-five
different things, and they are all worth
knowing. Pound it up, moisten and min
gle with raisins, it becomes the toothsome
scouse; toast it brown and suffuse with but
ter and it will outdo any palate ticker
made On shore; soak it in wine, tea or 'cof-
Zee, and it's q supel lative dainty; nibble it
plain on long watch and find sweet comfort.
It's stay-by that beats all other provi-
lions. 1t can't spoil, salt water only i'm
proves it; weevils can not mar it, nor time
impair. 1t mitigates salt junk; makes
pork palatable. Without it Jacks bill of
fare would be CHASTITY in its meanness. It's
the soul of the sailor''

THAT BELGIAN BARREL,

Machine That Has Found Much Favor
With the Flemish Naidens.
The most successful part Of the present
Brussels exposition is the garden, with its
numerous restaurants and saloons, where
the characteristic refreshments, wines,
liquors, ETC., of all nations attract the Wis
itor, whether he is thirsty or not, and give
to the whole more the appearance Of scene
from Flemish kirmess la Rubens or Ten
Ter than of an international industrial ex-
position.
The impression is heightened by the fact
that the large garden is filed with show
booths and amusements of all kinds, which
it has been correctly said, - reselnbled a
Vienna "Wurstlprater. We find there an
open circus, switchback under the preten-
tious name of "Montagnes Russes," a
"Tonueau d'amour," which reminds one of
the "Fasselrutchen' at Kahlenberg, near
Vienna, on Leopold day. It consists Of a
cask which, after the occupants have been
firmly secured in their places, is rolled
about, the women screaming, Of course,
when they revolve rapidly around the axis
of the cask.

DOWn.East Meanness.

A merchant in Portland, Maine, had in
his possession seven quarter dollars that he
had taken at different times. These quar-
ters had a hole punched in each Of them,
and the merchant had placed them on a
shelf in his counting room, intending to take
them to broker and sell them for what
they were worth. Somebody stole the
quarters, and while the merchant was away
took advantage to pass those seven quarters
back on the clerks in one day in payment
of purchases of goods.
A farmer just out Of town was urged by
a neighbor, known to be poor, to give him
pail of salt. The farmer happened to be
out of temper and gruffly refused. The
farmers son, young lad, felt so badly at
his fathers refusal that he went and OBJ
tanned pail Of salt and carried it to the
neighbor's-a cold, dark, wet tramp-to
find the salt was wanted for sheep kept
in the back of the house which the neighbor
had stolen from the lads father.
