One Touch of Nature.

One of New York's most prominent
citizens went Summing with his wife
and sister few evenings since. Young
Captain McLaughlin's precinct and
especially the lodging houses were
visited. "What do you think was the
most touching sight to me that night?''
he asked in Delmonico's last evening,
and then he told how in ward in one
of the cheap lodging houses for women,
on cots adjoining, was a girl of say
twenty years and on the other was an
old woman, almost weird in her squalid
haggardness.
The girl was asleep with her throat
and bosom partly exposed. As soon as
the old woman saw the visitors in the
ward she reached over the cot of the
younger woman and drew the wretched
overlid over the exposed bosom and
throat. ''That wretched old woman,
in that tender act, showed the love of a
true mother for daughter, and they
were total strangers" concluded the
gentleman.-M Y Sn:7s.

Napkins on the Lunch Counter.

Of course all restaurants give their
customers napkins. But never could
understand why the downtown cafes
those where a man has to wait for his
luncheon the same as he does for his
shave-should force man to use his
handkerchief for a napkin or return to
the primitive custom of Arkansas-his
coat-sleeve. One of these downtown
cafes, however, has made an innovation
in this direction which is to be hoped
will spread. The proprietor evidently
understands his business, for he has
napkins.
The question of the proper way to
use a napkin is one that has been talked
about and written of by caterers and
people who are sticklers for table eti-
quette from the time the first napkin
was brought out. You have been told
that fashionable etiquette requires that
the napkin should be put on the knee
when not in u,e-on the bias. 1 be-
lieve there has been no deviation from
this rate by the upper ten. The other
day, however, French caterer told me
that any man in dress suit who did
not tuck his napkin under his chin,
thus shielding his immaculate linen,
was fool. He said that it was done
by the best Parisians.- Chicago Tribune.

A Once Despised Vegetable.

Some paper, speaking of the the to-
mato crop, says that 72,O00.000 cans
"were put up last year. and refers to
the old times when the tomato was
called the 'love apple" and held about
as fair a match for ground cherries"
as food for man or beast. Mr.. b. Il.
Sulgrove, the oldest newspaper man in
the city, says he remembers seeing,
when bow in 1885 or Whereabouts,
several stocks or bushes of ''love
apples" growing on the north side of
Market street, near Delaware. in the
galden of John Wilkins or "Arche"
1ingenfelter. They were not called
tomatoes" and nobody thought of eat
ing them more than ''jimson burs."
They were not commonly grown, even
for garden ornament. and it was half
score of years later before they came
into even occasional table use. But he
remembers that some of the doctors of
that day commended them as health
full thing to eat and the new name
tomato" became familiar. Fifty
years or more ago this was the fame
and food value of the tomato now more
often and generally used, and in more
forms than any other garden product
whatever.-ImdianapoIis NceOs.

MYSTERY PLAY AT NICE.
Curious Spectacle Which Mingled The
ology with the Antics of Clown.

John Swinton, is an interesting let
ter to the N. Y. San describes the So
called mystery Play" witnessed by
him at the city of Nice: The play was
performed in weather beaten tab
ernacle known as the Theatre Risso,
located in part of the city with which
Fashionable visitors are not apt to be
familiar. 1t is approached through a
narrow old courtyard, near which are
scores of these very narrow streets
lined with strong and high stone
houses that were built ages and ages
ago, and that are likely to stand for
ages yet to come unless their demoli-
ton IS brought about in the interest of
sanitary science. 1t is entered through
curious opening at one end, where a
burly and large-mouthed individual
(who afterward turned out to be one
OF the actors) announces that admis-
sion is free to all, an announcement
which is qualified, however, by the
fact that the desirable seats must be
paid for, and also by the passing of
the hat at the end of each act of the
play.
The title of the mystery was 1.-The
Manger of Bethlehem" 1t represent
ed the incidents of the advent of Christ,
as recorded in the gospels, from the
annunciation to the birth in the
manger. The chief figures on the
stage were Joseph and Mary, the
Angel Gabriel and Satan; but there
We're also other characters not to be
found in the scriptural narrative, in
Guiding a clown and his partners, who
introduced comic features that were
greatly enjoyed by the spectators. In
truth, one of the most singular things
about the play was the mixture of fam
tastic elements with the solemn mys-
teries of the advent. The house was
frequently rent with laughter just
after or just before the highest religious
sentiment had been evoked.
The characters of Joseph and Mary,
as they appeared on the stage, were
dignified and natural, and their dis
course and intercourse was in every
way becoming. The Angel Gabriel
was represented by stalwart and
beautiful young woman clad in white,
and she welded her sword with sue
cess against Satan, who appeared with
the traditional horns and garb, and
sprang around with agility in his vain
efforts to do battle against the advent.
The stage was well set and the
scenery was plain but appropriate. At
the end of the performance the infant
was seen in his cradle beside Joseph
and Mary, under the guardianship of
Gabriel.
After having been notified at the
door that admission was free. we paid
for our seats, but this was not the last
of the demands upon our purse. At
tho end of each act performers left the
stage, took plate, and went from
seat to seat through the house solicit
ing gifts of money, and securing
good many copper coins. 1t looked
queer to see the Angel Gabriel in tiow-
ing robes of white, with others among
the actors, thus engaged; and it was
pleasing to see that neither Joseph
nor Mary had been chosen to do any
part of this work,

AngIOmania i'm New York.

Certainly there is fresh outbreak
of Anglonania in the speech of modish
New York girls, says letter from
Gotham to the Pittsburg Dispatch. The
new influx of actors and actresses from
London has caused it. The worst
symptom is lengthening and broad
ening of the letter A.
I'm sorry to part with you, Polly"
heard a Fifth avenue maiden say to
her beloved pet parrot, "but I must
have bird with an English accent"
I'm d'isy-I'm d'isy, "the parrot
responded, pronouncing daisy" in
the way that happens to be like COM
mon to the Bowery and the Seven
Dials.
THAT is very good, but unfortunate
ly you are altogether New Yorky in
everything else you say"
''Polly wants cracker"
Chow often have L told you that
they don't have crackers nowadays
in London. Say "Polly wants a bis
cult.
But the bird insisted that it was a
cracker he wanted, and so he was
doomed to banishment from the bou-
doir, while the girl set out to find a
parrot with an English accent.

Silver Serumgard, the democratic

with honors from Minnesota Univer-
sity, class go, and is now practicing
law at Cooperstown, N. D. Mr..
Serumgard is a very able and still
very unfortunate young man. It is
only a question of time when he will
be totally blind of both eyes and a
charitable public will most certainly
have sympathy with him and help
him along on his dark journey
through life. A vote for Mr.. Serum
gard for insurance commissioner is
an act of charity as well as honor to
the man who gives it.-Northwest

nomination. He is candidate fol

The twenty-third volume of AL
den's Maniford Cyclopedia includes
the titles from McCook to Memorial.
Among the articles, we notice the
biographies of many eminent men
and women Of early times, as well as
those of the present day, also excel
lent descriptions Of many large cities
and towns. The volume treats very
satisfactorily three states; Maine,
Maryland and Massachusetts,; and of
foreign countries there are Madagas-
car, Madeira, Malta and Manitoba.
Interesting subjects in other lines are:
Machine Gun; Magic; Magma Char
ia; Magnetism, 19 pages; Mammalia
10 pages; Man, 6 pages; Mangel-
Wurzel; Manure, 4 pages; Marble;
Marriage 6pages; Masons (Free) S
pages. These are named only as
samples of what the volume contains.
They are brought down very near
ly to date, many of them are illus
ftrated, the style and arrangement are
excellent, and the printing and bind
ing are entirely satisfactory. The
one thing about it which it is diff
cult to comprehend is how SO valua
bic work can be supplied for so low
a price. For farmers, mechanics,
teachers, students, and the great mass
of general readers, the Manifold is
far superior to any other Cyclopedia
Specimen pages will be sent free on
application to the publishers. A

refunded if the volume is returned
