ADJUSTMENTS.

Mark Twain's prince and Pauper" was
played at the Metropolitan Theater last
night to a fair house. What we have
already said OF the piece and the perform
ers quite covers the field of criticism.
Elsie Leslie is a wonderfully capable miss
to undertake and successfully maintain so
difficult dual character. She is an ac-
tress, lacking only the physical vigor OF
maturity-that is to say, she has true
conception of the role appointed for her
and understands the method of interpreting
it. Mr. Elliott's Miles Herndon. the free
lance knight, is really the character of the
play. 1t vitalizes and gives vigor to a
poetic fancy that has a Lesson, after all
that robes cannot screen ignorance, nor
station supplant education and training,
nor can adversely and rags stife native
nobility of character or undo training and
education. There is a gentle stream of
mercy running through the play that is
very touching in its development in several
places. There is not little of irony, while
in the second and fourth acts there are
some fine touches of humor. The recalls
of Mr.. Elliott last night were well de-
served, as also the applause given the
eleven year. old child who carries so much
of the burden of the charming story, and
so well. Saving only that there are fener
supernumeraries, the piece is given here as
we saw il at the Baldwin Theater, San
Francisco. A matinee al P. NJ. to. day,

Medieval writers had much to say

Medieval writers had much to say
about black magic, and those who prac
ticed it. In our time we have grown SO
wise that we have proved no such thing
exists, or ever did exist. Very good. What
we are not afraid of is not apt to hurt us
But if there is no such thing as black
magic, what malign influence is it that
enables a person like the woman Disa
Debar, the so called "spook priestess'
to entangle victim after victim in her
net She bamboozled Luther Marsh, one
Of the ablest lawyers of New York, out
of thousands of dollars, by alleged spirit
pictures She deceived many others by
pretending to produce the same kind of
pictures upon the stage, though the
fraud was SO palpable that it made one
feel bad for human nature to think any
body could be taken in by it.
The woman was sent to Blackwelrs
Island prison for obtaining money under
false pretenses. Her career was fully
exposed by newspapers throughout the
country 1t would have been reason
able conclusion that Diss Debar was
irretrievably ruined.
Was she? Not She No sooner had
she been released than she went to Wash
ington and laid her net for rich widow
there. The spook dodge was played sue
cessfully BY slate writing the rich
widow was commanded to give Diss De
bar a shelter Next, the TWO went to
Europe together, ID. d. claiming to be
the prosecuted and cast off wife of the
rich Mr. Luther Marsh. In London the
widow was rescued from the spook
priestess while she yet had some money
left, and came home.
Thus the priestess makes her living.
She is not handsome. She is fat. She is
not eloquent or learned. Nevertheless
with her record fully exposed, wherever
she goes she finds rich people who be
come as babies in her hands. Her case is
not singular Most of our readers will
recall instances in which, in some mex
plicable way, unworthy and designing
persons have wound themselves around
the best and noblest of people, and made
them do their will utterly. If this is not
mesmerism, or black magic, OF some
thing of that nature what is it?

wHAI BEAUTY is.


What constitutes beauty! 1t isn't the face
That would to an artist seem perfect WIN
grace,
Or might to a poet be truly divine
II isn't the form for which sculptors may pine.
II isn't a Venus, no matter how fair
IT'S not an Adonis, no matter how rare,
That makes us see beauty--the kind that i'm
parts
Forever a.joy to our minds and our hearts.
What then, maketh beauty: A face may be
plain
Or even he ugly, yet may 1t contain
A something that makes US, without knowing
how,
See beauty enhancing and unto it bow.
What is it makes beauty The eyes do that
shine
With love or affection or friendship divine
The lips do that smile from gladness inside,
The look that shows manly or womanly pride.
What constitutes beautys The grasp of the
hand
That tells you are welcome wherever you
stand;
The ears do that listen with sympathy true,
The words that give comfort, that courage re
new.
What constitutes beauty? Good actions do all;
The hands that will help you TO rise if you fall
The voice that is honest and CHEEKY and sweet
These only make -forever-complete.

The Poetry of Eating.

That marvellous story-writer Guy de
Maupassant says: "A man is gourmet
as he is poet, or an artist, or simply
learned. Taste is delicate organ, per-
fectible and worthy of respect, like the
eye and the ear. To be wanting in the
sense of taste is to be deprived of an ex-
quisite faculty, of the faculty of discern
ing the quality Of ailments, just as one
may be deprived Of the faculty of dis
corning the qualities of book or of a
work of art; it is TO be deprived of an es-
sentisl sense, of a part of human su-
periority; it is to belong to one of the
innumerable classes of cripples, infirm
people and fools of which our race is com
posed; it is, in a word, to have a stupid
mouth, just as we may have a stupid
mind. A man who does not distinguish
between langouste and lobster, be-
tween a herring (that admirable fish
that carries with it all the savors and
aromas of the seal and mackerel OF
whiting, is comparable only to a man
who could confound Balzac with Eugene
Sue and symphony by Beethoven with
a military march composed by some
regimental band-master." - Harper's
Bazaar.

WOMAN'S FASCINATION.

Some of the Reasons That Attract the
Stronger Sex to the Center.
The power Of fascination inherent in
women may. moreover, be divided into
two kinds. All of us have seen the old
lady, generally white-haired, with kind
ly, pleasant features, on which time has
set no unfriendly mark, who still retains
all her attractiveness. Note how the
boys and girls adore her; they will go to
her and contide their sorrows, their
hopes, their ambitions, even when they
would not breathe a word to their
mothers. The kindly, loving interest
evinced in lads affairs by such a one
has time and again first implanted the
impulses in his heart which eventually
led him on to an honorable career.
Quickly, almost by stealth, the good
-fstone by such, and the good seed sowR
which will ripen in after time into
rich and abundant crop. On the other
hand, we have most of US seen, perhaps
in real life, certainly on the stage, the
fascinating adventures who, by her en-
thralling beaute de diable, enslaves
mems souls and leads them Ton the
stage) to dare all for her sake. Such is
0rectly opposed to the sweet old lady
in her old-fashioned chair, and these
two form the opposite poles between
which the women who fascinate vary.
Types differ, and any one you may Sc
lect has some position between these
two opposites Take, for instance, a
pretty and may be witty woman who,
hardly of her own free will, makes
every man fall in love with her to
greater or less degree. She may be in
nocent of all evil intention, but her po-
sition on the scale is not vastly removed
from that of the melo-dramatis sorceress.
Or, again, take the instance of the pref
ty young matron who, while devoted to
home, husband and children, yet has
several intimate friends of the male per-
suasion. But her influence is all for
good. Her fascination is exerted in a
worthy cause, and she has found out
great truth-thst there is no friendship
so lasting, so true and so pleasant as one
between persons of opposite sexes,
where true feeling of bonnie camara-
deris exists and there is no pretense of
love-making. Such a woman, If she
lives long enough, bids fair to develop
into snowy-haired old lady on whose
friendship the children will rely

A Country Where the Mexican Dollar Il
Not Below Par.

A Country Where the Mexican Dollar Ii
Not Below Par.
The chief coin in circulation along
the coast of China ia the Mexican dollar
and the copper cash. 1t takes from 1000
70 /. 800 cash to make dollar, and some
OF the coins in use are SO poor that you
can break them in two between your
thumb and finger. They are of the size
of an old red cent, and have square hole
in the center. in order that they may be
strung on string. They are MADE In
different parts of China, and the N1ceroy
of Canton is now building mint with
modern American machinery, which Will
turn them out by the million. In the
interior of China these cash and silver
and gold in the lump form the money.
The standard of weight for both is the
tael, which weighs about an ounce, and
the money is cast in the shape OF
Iadv's shoe. Ten tae1s of silver make
n lump of about the size of Chinese
lady's foot, and if you want to pay out
less than this amount you take your
knife or chisel and pound off as much
as YOU want. It is the rudest way of
doing business, but the Chinese are
very suspicious of coins, and they like
the pure metal. Gold bricks about an
inch long and half an inch wide and OF
the same thickness are also used, but
you have to watch these, as you do every
thing else in the shape of money in China.
In South China you will find chop dol
lar, out of which little chips of silver
have been taken, or in which holes have
been bored and these holes filled with
lead. You will find coins under weight
aad chunks of metal which are coun-
terfeit. and the result is that every
Chinese business-house has to keep one
man whose business is to detect counter
felt coin. This man is called the SchroH,
and all the money of the establishment
passes through his hands. He gives
big bond, and he is responsible for all
the money he takes in. II he makes
mistake it is his loss, not that Of the
firm. You will find these schreffs con-
nected with our Legation abroad, and
they may be called the cashiers of the
East. They are always Cinnamon, and
the foreign banks in Asia have all their
figuring and their money calculations
made by Cinnamon. The Chinaman
does this with his little box Of buttons
strung on wires; he never makes mis-
take. and he is the great arithl etician
of the world.-F. G. Carpenter, in Ma
tfonal Tribune.
