Lawrence Barrett's Grief.

A prominent comedian tells the fol-
lowing story on Lawrence Barrett, and
adds that it is very evident the popular
tragedian draws the line at being taken
for billboard or three-sheet poster.
The story goes that Mr.. Barrett, in the
flush of successful career, concluded
that it was always worth just double
the ordinary price to hear him play
"Julius Caesar, Richard ILL.," Or in
fact, any character in his repertory.
Some time ago, before the Booth and
Barrett combine, while the latter was
going it on his own hook, he found
himself booked for New Britain, a
small town in Connecticut, and, &C.
coriing to arrangement, double the
regular price of admission was to be
charged. On the night of the show q
large crowd gathere in front of the
thea.er to see who would be fools
enough to pay $3.50 to see an actor,
and tho lgh there We're so many out
side, the "fools" PANIED out pretty
well also, for the h )use was half full,
SO that there was about the same
amount of money received as. there
would have been had the price of ad-
mission been the regular charge. This
was exceedingly gratifying to the actor;
he had adhered to his notion OF his
value rs an artist and had lost no
money, and this thought filled him
with the keenest pleasure and mads
him q most self-satisiied individual.
During a wait he was sitting in his
dressing room Eliminating on what q
great man he wa, and complacently
admiring himself, when a messenger
came with worl that the manager of
the theater would like to speak to him.
In his present state of mind, the ira
gedian at once jump; d to the conclu-
sion that the manager was overjoyed
at the success of the engagement and
was coming to make terms with him
for q return season. Not doubt.ng for
a moment this was the managers de-
sire, he ordered him to be admitted.
The manager came in, and, without
heaping the congratulate ions, as the ac-
tor fully expected, said: "Mr. Barrett,
I should b, much obliged to You if,
during the performance, You would
step to the footlights and announce for
me that the next attraction at this
house will begin on Monday night next,

Judge Fuller.

Chief-Justice Fuller is something OF
novelty on the Supreme Bench. He
is nervous to a remarkable degree, and
seems to find it impossible to sit still.
His hands are constantly in motion at
one thing or another. Often he takes
. scrap of paper and folds and refolds
it into thousand shapes; or he turns
over the pages of q book without look
ing at them. But, as q usual thing, he
is pulling his mustache like nervous
graduate on commencement day. Vls-
itors to the Supreme Court, who think
the judges are extraordinary beings,
look at the Chief-Justice in surprise,
not knowing that he is q man OF won
derful learning and ability. One OF
them made q social call on him, and
was shocked to find him reading q

Masculine JeWeIry.

The fashion of wearing jewelry
among men is growing to higher points
than it reached even in 1884. It was
then, you know, the practice reached
high-water mark. It attracted good
deal of attention at the time, as prior to
that the jewelry of men had been notice
able mainly by reason of its absence.
The dudes, who suppressed watch
chains, scarf-pins and the like, al
lowed themselves full liberty in the
matter of fnger-rings, and from this
the general run of clubmen took their
cues. Many fashionable man wore
five or six rings on his fingers.
The great des gn then was the snake
ring, and after that what was known
IS the glove ring. The latter consisted
OF a heavy band of gold, usually
square in design. in which we're set o
diamond, with ruby or sapphire on
either side of it. The stones were set
we'll down in the gold, and were per-
fectly flush with the top, so that o
man could pull q glove on over the
ring without difficulty.
Perhaps the greatest success which
was reached then was when the brace
let appeared as masculine adorn-
ment. The natural result of all this
finery was that the smaller clerks and
cheap Johns of the town followed the
suit of their leaders, and the market
wss flooded with tawdry iewelry. After
q time good, healthy reaction set in,
and men went back to the ring, which
they always return to.
"What is that?"
1T is the old signet ring. I nm
more or less familiar with the history
of jewels, and it has struck me often
that this ring, which monarchs of 200
years ago wore on the first finger Of
their right hands usually, is the only
one which has staple place in the af-
fsotious Of mankind. Not only do men
