There is one rule. however, which

Where nature has been lavish with her

fatigues the eye, the relief of contrast

BOOTH AND JEFFERSON.
The Two Famous American Actors as
Negro MInstrels.

The Two Famous American Actors as
Negro MInstrels.
In 1850 when MIR. Edwin Booth was
seventeen, and year after his debut
as Tressel at the Boston Museum. he
gave an entertainment with Mr.. John
S. Clarke, a youth of the same age, at
the courthouse in Belair, Maryland.
They read selections from Richelieu,
The Stranger, and the quarrel scene of
julius Caesar, singing during the even
ing with blackened faces a number of
negro melodies, using appropriate
dialogue" as Mrs. Asia Booth Clarke
records in the memoirs of her brother,
land accompanying their vocal
attempts with the somewhat inhar-
monious banjo and bones" Mrs.
Clarke reprints the programme of this
performance, and pictures the distress
of the young tragedians when they
discovered, on arriving in the town,
that the Simon Pure negro they had
employed as an advance agent had in
every instance posted their bills up
side down.
Mr.. Joseph Jefferson. the third and
present bearer of that honored name,
was unquestionably the youngest actor
who ever made his mark with a
piece OF burnt cork. The story
OF his first appearance is told
by Mr.. William Winter in his volume
entitled 1.-The Jeffersons." Coming
from a family of actors, the bow. as
was natural, was reared amidst theat-
rfcal surroundings, and when only four
year OF age-in 1833-he was brought
upon the stage by Thomas D. Rice
himself, on benefit occasion at the
Washington theater. The little Joe.
olackened and arrayed precisely like
his senior, was carried on to the stage
In a bag upon the shoulders of the

from it with the appropriate couplet.

Excitement on the Island on the Arrival OF
the FOrtnightly Packet.
The arrival of the mail throws Fayal
into state of excitement. Half the
population then come to town, and a
hot and steaming crowd packs itself
into the one post-office that the island
possesses. AS the postmaster, plainly
conscious of his Importance on an Occa-
sion which happens only once fort
night, advances with the letters to the
little desk which separates the throng
from the offices the stranger is struck
by the ridiculous disproportion between
the size of the crowd and that Of the
packet, circumstance which is eX-
planned by the fact that every woman
expecting tidings from husband or son
is accompanied apparently by the rest
Of the family. The jabber subsidies in

the crowd intimates it's destination,
when half a dozen hands are stretched
out to receive it and it is passed over
the heads of the crowd to the fortunate
recipient The buzz is renewed after
each announcements; the postmaster
has constantly to repeat his demand
for silence. in which he is of course
joined by such of the crowd as have not
yet received a letter. As the delivery
proceeds the crowd naturally gets
noisier, and the postmaster becomes hot
and angry with the exertiOn of shout

BEATING DICK JONES.
Why Uncle Moses Concluded to Purchase
Three Screen Doors.

Three Screen Doors.
There were a dozen or more fly
screen doors outside the store marked
"Ouly 81. 80 EACH" and when the farm
er and his wife drove up their atten-
ton was at once attracted.
That's exactly what was going to
ask for. she said. as she climbed
down over the wheel to the platform.
You was. Ell? I'd like to know
what we want of a screen door?" he
growled.

"Sure huff If folks want to buy
every gimcrack that comes out let 'em
do it, but we hain't got no money to
throw away"
"MOses, we've got to have a screen
ioor," she observed as she went closer.

Center Line road without one"
HAS it hurt us any?"
Yes, it has. There wasn't tin

"And if they'd throwed out a hint
that we orter have door bell you'd

Il don't say nothin' bout door bells,
cause folks can knock when they
come; but we do need a screen door. !"
What fur?"
''They look rich from the road, ana
they keep flies and bugs out"
I'VE have kept house thirty-elght
years now, and we orter be used to In
scots. Bugs and flies don't bother US
none, and they are healthy anyhow. "
'See how cheap they are. Moses, "
she continued, in pleading tones.
''Ya-as. but you kin buy the netting

and yallar and all kinds. | tell We,
Martha. we can't afford it,
She sighed and was turning away.
when the hardware man came out and
briskly said:
"Ah, how are you. folks. Looking
at those screen doors. eh? Powerful
nice things to keep the flies out"
"Ya-as, l s'pose 80" replied the
farmer. ''but we don't want any. l
rather like to have flies around"
/, well, | couldn't let you have one
of that lot, anyhow. Dick Jones takes

"What! our Dick?'
"Yes, over on the corners"
And he's all mortgaged up and

There. Moses-what do you thinkr'
exclaimed the wife.
'And Dick Jones has bought them

PLASTERlNG WINES.
A Practice in Vogue Among Niticuitnr-
lists of southern France.

~
lists of southern France.
The Society of Pharmacy OF Bordeaux
some time ago ago appointed com.
mittee to examine into the subject OF
piatrage. This is a process in which
plaster-of-P Paris is added to wine both
to clarity and preserve it. The effect
of wine thus treated upon its consum
ers has long been matter of doubt,
some authorities regarding it as harm,
less, while others believed that suck
wine was injurious to health. The
conclusions of this committee are az
follows: |. In the present state of viii
culture in the south of France and in
Algeria, the plastering of wines in the
mash is almost always necessary, in
qualities sought after by consumers.
2. Facts are wanting to show that
plastered wines are injurious to health.
). The experience of numerous pOpu-
latiOns that drink only plastered wine,
the experience of many strangers who
are continually travelling through the
south of France and Algeria, drinking
hardly any thing else than plastered
wine, and methodical experiments by
learned bodies, show that potassium
sulphate in the proportion Of sixty
grains to the litre of wine produces nc
appreciable effect on the various func
lions of the economy. 4. The plaster
ing of wines in the mash to the
extent of producing this proper
ton of potass SUM sulphate may
be authorized until facts rigOr
Ously deduced from extensive scientific
experiments show the dangers or in
cOnveniences of this amount as regards
the public health. The Academy O
Medicine, through a committee. ha

and its conclusions are as follows

In the present report demonstrate tina
excessive plastering eXerts an inrlriou

the exclusive point of view of hygiene
the commission can not approve of tn
principle of the plastering of wines
3. Nevertheless in view of the pro
ducers' and dealers necessities, an,
especially taking the consumers in
terest into account, it thinks that
would be imprudent to exclude fror

too absolute a measure, wines whic
thus far nothing but moderate plaster

portion above sixty centigramS to tn

MARKS ON PAPER.
The Oldest Known Document Bearing
Plain Trade Mark.

The Oldest Known Document Bearing q
Plain Trademark.
The Oldest document or paper as vet
discovered with park is the account
book of 1901, supposed to be manufac-
tured out of linen rags by the Holbein
family at Ravensburg. Except this
particular specimen, all paper manu-
featured by the Holbeins bears the
Bulls Head" doubtless taken from
the coat of arms of that family, whereas
this account book is marked with the
.'Globe and Cross" The Globe and
jug are the most ancient marks as YET
discoveries; and these, together with
the Post-hOrn, which appeared about
1876, became by the end of the four.
teenth century the principal marks on
paper manufactured in the Low Coun-
tries, whence they spread during the
ensuing hundred years to Gouda and
Delft. Paper, as rule, without any
characteristic sign is the oldest. since
the water-mark signifies certain prog.
ress in the art of paper-making. Other
noteworthy marks are sprig with
leaves and fruit of flower; adrawn bow
with an arrow; a perpendicular line
with stars at each extremity between
two circles; the letter R unsigned by a
cross; two crescents through which a
perpendicular line passes, terminating
at each end;- cross, bull face, a
demi-griffin, pair of balances, the
unicorn, an anchor and ..P'' and ..Y,''
the initials being those of Philip OF
Burgundy and his wife Isabella, whose
name at the time would be usually
spelled with Y. The Duke married
Isabella in 1880. and before that date p
only is found; after that date. P and Y.
Canton seems to have used paper
chiefly obtained from the Low Coun-
tries, and in addition to the Bulls
Head and the '.P'' and ..Y" there will
also be found the Open Hand" worked
on the paper on which the Golden Lee
gends was printed in 1883, and also the
Unicorn. Other paper employed by
this famous printer came from Ger
many, since in his ''Recueil of. the
Histories of Troy 146S) there ap-
peared the Bunch of Grapes" which
was German mark. In the Game
OF Cheese the paper bears evidence
Of Italian origin, as there is the mark
of an anchor enclosed by Circle. y
The Dolphin and Anchor was very
famous mark, and after the Bulls
Head. perhaps the best known. the
reason for this being because ths de-
vice was extensively used by Aldo
