of the most wonderful plays we ever wit
messed. 1t was like the peace OF God, in that
it passed all understanding. The farmers
daughter evidently made mistake when she
adopted the stage as profession. She should
have remained among her milk pans and pur-
sued the even tenor Of her way upon the
farm. Adelaide Cherrie is magnificent
looking woman, with voice strong enough
TO ditch train. She played the adventures
ans murdered people who always insisted on
coming back to life in the next act. We are
not aware what idea the author of the play
had when he wrote it, but it reminds us
more strongly of a mince pie nightmare than
any thing else. Portsmouth lO.l Times.

photograrhs aud True Art.

The instantaneous photograph bids fair TO
become very potent aid to artists who seek
to teach their pupils that reproduction is not
art; for it Is clearly demonstrated by this
means that the real is in nowise like the APP
parent. For example, an instantaneous pho
togr1ph If a man in the act of running never
looks as much like man in the act of run
ming as tle pen drawing of a true artist does.
The reason is that the photograph reproduces
the one exact position Of the runner at the
instant the picture is made, while the artist
pictures several positions in one and makes
his man SEEM to be moving. Art always has
dealt ano always must deal with things, not
as they are but as they seem to be. We sit
and look at runner. He seems simultane-
ously to bend forward his body, throw one
leg wayforward and the other to the rear,
with both knees at almost an acute angle.
At the same instant he seems TO swing one
arm forward, while the other is drawn back,
both being shut tightly at the elbows So
it seems for the eye of the observer is not
keen enough to see the position of each In
slant separately. 1t sees the positions OF a
group of instants, and the observer thinks
that these positions are simultaneous.
The instantaneous photograph shows they
are not simultaneous, and III doing this pre-
sents picture that does not look like man
In the act of running. This photograph Is
going to be--indeed already is-a great aid to
science, but the only thing it can do for art
will be to prove that reality does not seem as
true as the ideal What is true of the paint
er's and the soulptor's art is true also of the
writer's. He who describes things as they
really are may be a scientist, but only he who
describes things as they seem to be is an
artist We frequently hear readers say of
characters created by an artistic writer that
they have seen just such persons. They think
they have, but they haven't. 1t Is the wri-
ter's art that makes them think they have. II
he had actually described the persons they
have In mind they would say there never
were such beings ON earth. Thus 1t comes

Shot the Man Who leased Her.

Louisa Epperson, daughter of a

her father, as he sat at the family
table eating his dinner Monday last.
Hofer had been in the habit of teas

some remark which incensed the girl.
She told Hofer that if he repeated
the remark she would shoot him.
Hofer promised to refrain, but at
dinner began again on the same SUBJ
ject. The girl, without a word, arose,
left the table, walked deliberately
into another room, picked up 49,
caliber revolver, and returning to
the dining-room, shot Hofer in the
right side of the head, over the ear,
and he fell to the floor dead. The
mur6 ress is described as an unusual

years old.

Turtle as Food.

In st. Bartholomew or Turtle bay, as
the whalers call it, where for five months
we lay, taking and curing abalones, our
food was chiefly turtle. This little har-
Dor swarmed with them. After few
hours hunt one of our whaleboats would
return with five or six of these unwieldy
creatures in the bottom, some so large
and heavy as to require hosting over the
side. Often the green fat under the
callipee, or under shell, lay three inches
in thickness. / served up turtle fried,
turtle stewed, quarters of turtle roasted
and stuffed like loins of veal, turtle plain
boiled and turtles flippers boiled to a
jelly and picked. A turtle is variously
favored being. Almost every portion
has distinct and individual taste. After
all, old Jake, our black boatsteerer,
showed us the most delicate part of the
turtle, and one previously thrown away.
This was the tripe, cleansed of thin
inner skin. When the cabin table had
once Toasted on stewed turtle tripe
they called for it continuously. After
many trials and much advice and sug-
gestion, / learned to cook accept
ably the abalone. The eatables part OF
this shell fish when fresh is as large as a
small tea saucer. There are two varie-
ties, the white and black. The white is
the best. Cut up in pieces and stewed,
as ! attempted at first, the abalone
turned out stewed bits of guttaperchai
fried, it was fried guttapercha. Then
a man from another vessel came on
board, who taught me to inclosea single
abalone in small canvas bag and then
pound it to a jelly with wooden mallet.
This process got the honey out of the
abalone. The remains of four or five
abalones thus pounded to pulp, and
then allowed to simmer for couple OF
hours, would make big tureen OF the
most delicious soup man ever tasted,
every drop of which, on cooling, hard
ened to the consistency Of calves foot
jelly. When my cabin boarders had
once become infected with abalone soup
they wanted me to keep bringing il
along. The Americans do not know OF
use all the food in the sea which is good.

A Public Scribe.

A reporter of The New York Times re-
Gently ran across an interesting scribe. He
was an aged Hebrew. He made a living
writing letters for other people, and his s'of-
f1ce' was in front Of a corner grocery, near
the Hebrew district in New York. His stock
in trade consists of cheap glass inkstand and
O few sheets Of paper apd envelopes. and
when the reporter appeared he seemed to be
doing a thriving business. "He had just fin
ished writing in Hebrew script the letter he
was reading over, while the young man by
whom it was dictated stood by awaiting the
addressing of the envelope, and another, with
a sealed envelope, waited his turn to have his
envelope addressed. He could write letter
to his correspondent in writing which would
be understood by her or him, but the envel-
ope, he knew, must be written so as to be un-
derstood by many strangers In the postal
service of various lands through which 1t
would have TO pass.
"The public scribe could write in Latin
script, and he knew how the letter must be
addressed to insure its reaching its destina-
tlon-and his fee was but two cents. While
the men were being disposed of "a young
woman came with small sum of money
which she wished to remit to her parents in
Bulgaria. together with letter which she
would dictate. So the work of the old man
Of letters went on His face wore a benignant
aspect, and his thin nostrils, arched brows
and large, clear, lustrous eyes bespoke him a
man of learning and of exceptional culture.
