English and American D,s,nnrova,

AN ~AAASA Skt ~
One remark which Mrs. Kendall made
to n prominent New York banker came
out in the course of a short talk. She
was dining at a private house in New
York, and she had begun to talk. after a
little skillful instigation on thespart of
the hostess, about the difference between
American and English audiences.
"Thcre are only two things Mrs. Ken
dial said, (Which English artists really
fear when they come to America. One
is the interviewer person of whom we
have absolutely no knowledge in Eng
land-and the other is the awful fashion
in which Americans testify to their dis
approval of an artist.
ga great deal has been said about the
brutality of English audiences in kissing
and guying unwelcome actors, but the
effect Of this sort of opposition is in nine
cases out of ten stimulating. That is,
an actor who is vigorously Missed has his
combative spirit aroused by the assault
and bestirs himself so earnestly that he
snatches victory from defeat. There is
no hope for anything of this sort in
America. When people rise quietly and
show their opinion by walking calmly
out of the theatre the effect is one that
no actor can counterfeit. Fortunately
Mrs. Kendall added, with ~ smile, 81
have not had personal experience with
5 this sort of treatment, but English actors
at home have told anecdotes concerning
it which have stamped the custom as be.
ing one of the most awful and decreasing
ones known to the stage. It is courteous.
but the effect on the actor is beyond de.
scription."-New York World.

Classified by Shadows.

Amphiscians are tho people who i'll.
habit the tropics, whose shadows, III one
part of the year, arc cast to the north
and in the other to the south, according
as the sun is north or south of their
zenith.
The Antiscians are the inhabitants of
the earth living on different sides of the
equator, whose shadows at noon are cast
in contrary directions. Those living
north of the equator are antiscians TIC
those living south of that line, and vice
versa. The shadows Oh one side are cast
toward the north and upon the Other
toward the north.
The Ascians arc the persons who live
in a land where, at a certain time of
each year, they have no shadows at
noon. All the inhabitants of the torrid
zone are Ascians, they having a vertical
sun twice a year.
The Periecians are the inhabitants of
the opposite side of the globe in the
same parallel of latitude.
The Pericians are the inhabitants OF
the polar circle, whose shadows during
some portions of the summe must, in
the course OF the day, move entirely
around and fall toward every point of
the compass. The antipodes are those
persons who live on the opposite sides
of the globe, and whose feet are directly
under the feet of those living on this
side.-St. Louis Republic.

Travelling Children,

There is much written nowadays con-
corning the home amusement of children.
Would it not be we'll if suggestions were
offered for the entertainment of tho little
people while travelling? Any ono who
has made a long railway journey must
have had her sympathies aroused for the
tired little mortals, for whom no provi-
sion had been made for varying the mo-
notony of tho trip. The mothers Or aunts
accompanying them were provided with
books or knitting work, but the poor
children had not wen strings to play
cats cradle. No wonder that under these
circumstances they fidgcted and wearied
their companions until travelling with
children was voted Il bore. If Il new pic
turo book, a pencil and paper, q game or
a small doll had been provided, to be
brought out at the first appearance Of
rettlessness, tho vote might have been

Tricks Of Horse Car Conductors.

even the best of us" he said, "some-
times miss Il fare in acrowd, but it doesn't
happen often, and that is because wo have
thing down to a system. On all lines
there are certain streets at which WI start
to go through our car to pick up nickels.
Often l am in doubt as to who has not
paid a fare, but l don't take chances of
wounding any ones feelings by asking
for it in that case. l merely meander
through the car, stopping now and then
before any IL | suspect of not having
anted up. The guilty person usually has
pricks of conscience when l place myself
before him and clears up all doubt by be-
ginning to fish through his pockets for the
nickel. That is one of the tricks, and it
saves many harsh words, for almost as
often as you ask u man who really HAS
settled if his fare has been paid he will
abuse you for intimating that he is try
ing to do the railway company. l have
learned by experience that it is better to
chip in q nickel ont of your own pocket
than to go around asking for fares when
you are i'll doubt, and most old time con-
ductors will agree with me."-Boston

Novelty in Printing Presses.

A novelty in printing has been intro
duced into Germany, by which it is said
that two colors can be done at one i'm
preston. In addition to the usual APP
pliance for printing in black that part
of the form which is intended to be
printed in another color is set up from
type, rules, ornaments o. cuts made of
a porous material, such as pumice, Span
ish reed, or, best of all, walnut root.
The type Dr. cut thus made is inclosed in
a holder, In which is a thin, oily ink,
which it absorbs by capillary attraction,
thus always presenting an linked surface
ready for the impression. The upper
rim of the holder has a rim or metal
border slightly raised above the wood
type, 80 that the ink roller passes over
the latter without any union of inks.
One revolution of the cylinder thus eff.
fects an impression in two colors.-New
York Commercial Advertiser.

The Prince and a Blind Man.

Twas recently told the following story
of a piece of silverware now existing in
the plate room at Marlborough house.
One day the Prince Of Wales, on alight-
ing from his carriage at the door Of a
mouse where he was about to pay a visit,
saw a blind man and his dog vainly try.
ing to effect a passage across the thor.
oughfare in the midst of a throng Of
carriages. With characteristic good
nature the prince came to the rescue,
and successfully piloted the pair to the
other side Of the street. A short time
afterward he received a massive silver
inkstand with the following inscription:
ITO the Prince of Wales. From one
who saw him conduct a blind beggar
across the street. In memory of a kind
and Christian action"
Neither note nor card accompanied
the Offering, and the name Of the donor
has never been discovered. But I think
that this anonymous gift is not the least
priced of the many articles in the princes
treasure chamber.-Philadelphia Tels,

To Remove Dandruf.

An occasional shampoo with soap and
water OF borax and water or some sim.
pie mixture of that kind once in two or
three weeks will often he found a ne
cessity. A very good shampoo liquid
for general use may be made as fol
lows: Carbonate of ammonia, one
drachm; carbonate of potassium, one
drachm; water, four ounces; tincture of
~cantharides, n drachm; alcohol, four
ounces; rum, and one-half pints.
Dissolve the carbonates in the water;
shake we'll before using, moistcning the
scalp until a lather forms. Wash in
cool water and rub dry.
For a permanent removal of dandruff
it is better to take borax, half a tea
spoonful; common sulphur, one heap
ing teaspoonful; pour over them one
pint of boiling water. When cool pour
into a bottle; agitate frequently for
three or four days; then strain. Moister
the scalp with this thoroughly three or
four times q week. It is one of the most
reliable preparations known for per.
manently removing dandruf. - Good

Expensive Watch Winding.


Senator Farwell had a little Joke put
on him not long ago, and though it cost
him a So bill he smiled grimly and took
it all i'll good part. The senator has for
years employed a certain icweler to
clean and repair his watch when it needs
attention. His name is Hoefner, and
the senator has the fullest confidence in
him. The senator some time ago took
his watch to Hoefner and was told to
leave it for a few days. He did so, and
when he went after it and asked the ex-
pense he was told the bill wa S.. He
paid it, and about a month after he
thought there was something wrong
with it again. Again he took it to the
artist and left it. When he called for it
the matchmaker told him the expense
this time was So.
GLOW is that" queried the senator.
"You charged lie IS before and only So
now; you probably struck me for IS too
much last time, didn't you:"
ooh, no." said Hoefner; "there was a
difference in the jobs. The watch only
needed winding this time."-Chicago

Germany,s shopkeepers.

The ciwility of the tradespeople seems
to be genuine, and for that reason it
ONE with refreshing effect after the
superficial polish Of the Partisan and the
brutal etiquette of the Cockney. When
you enter a German shop you are cx.
pected to remove your hat and gloves
and greet the shopkeeper politely; you
do not replace your hat till you are
ready to depart, and then you bid the
shopkeeper adieu. These people are
awfully in earnest. The wit of the
Scotchman compared with the wit Of
the average German is as a cambria
needle to a bung. Wishing to get my
idea of how / wanted an overcoat made

FUTURE OF ART IN AMERICA.
hui Possibilities Are as Great u. Tho.

Our Possibilities Are as Great MS Those
of Many European Cities.
1t is the fashion to believe that art can
not thrive in our trading democracy.
Our cultured society speak of art with
solemnity and awe, as men speak of one
that has fought the good fight and who
rests from his labors. Indeed we have
lately been told by a professor of great
distinction that there is no hope here for
real literature or art. so hopelessly vul-
gar and sordid is American life. Surely
those burghers of medieval Paris knew
nothing of culture, and doubtless they
were vulgar, but they thoroughly be-
lieved in their religion, and their vul-
garity did not prevent their originating
the Gothic cathearals. Doubtless those
Florentine traders were mercenary, but
they loved their city with fervor, and
gladly gave their wealth to build its
public monuments. Neither French
man nor Florentine had art critics to tell
him his motives, bat they applied to
their every day work vigor, courage and
energy, and without their knowing it
their work immortalized them.
Now why should we not believe in
u own possibilities? We have doubt
less seen a great deal of ostentation and
vulgarity built into more or less perma-
nent form, and doubtless we arc very far
from having produced great works of
architecture. Our distance from the
great works of antiquity has always per-
mitted here Il freedom from authority III
art, which, if it frequently leads us into
license, presents to us at the same time
Il unique opportunity. In the best
work, Influenced as it is by the books
and photographs which now familiarize
us with all that the world has done be.
fore us, there is ven now to be seen a
reasonable restraint controlling this lib.
erty. As IL national wants are new,
and inventions daily increase which rev.
olutionize the art of construction, it
seems to INC that the problems will daily
be solved in IL better manner, and VIC
may hope for a period of building that
will emphasize u good rather than our
bad points.
Why should we not, i'll looking at
such examples as 1 have quoted, insist
that there is far from being anything in
the existing conditions of American life
to hinder the progress of art: Evidences
of the reverse exist OF every side. While
dilettanteism may discourage. for my.
self l have enthusiasm enough left to be.
lieve that the hope of the future in art,
as in many other fields of human Ell.

our ambitious, prosperous and apprecia.

The Author Of "Maria.,

Jorge Isaacs, the author of "Maria," is
of mixed race-the son Of an English
Jew married to a woman of Spanish
blood. He was born at Cali, in the beau
tful vale Of Cauca, where he has laid the
scene of his story. Early in life he lost
his father and mother by death, and
since then has found a home in Bogota,
the Colombian capital. His first work,
a small volume of verses, was enthusi-
astically received by the Bogotans, and
in 1867, when still a young man, he pub
lished MARIA" which has como to be
considered in South America as the most
original and characteristic work yet pro-
dnced in Spanish-American literature

Philip Dieffenwierth was wounded by
a sting ray at Clear Water harbor. He
was on the bay after fish, and, catching
this one, pulled it into the boat and
proceeded to cut out the harpoon. While
doing SO the ray struck him in the arm
and also in the foot, the latter being a
most painful wound. For some time his
suffering was intense, almost producing
spasms, until finally the wound was
smoked with burning wool and sugar,
