Married Life of Actresses.

By the way speaking of George
Gould reminds me that his marriage
with Edith Kingdom has been an ex-
ceedingly happy one. They have two
children, both boys and his wife seems
to have given up all thought of the
stage. She has taken to her domestic
life as cheerfully and fully as though
she had never the applause of the
multitude and felt the glare of the
candle behind the footlights. Such in
stances are very rare indeed. In the
history of the stage in this country few
women have ever left it for domestic
life without desiring to return. Be-
sides George Gould's wife l can recall
but a few others. Who does not re-
member the beautiful Agnes Ethel?
She married Tracy, who kept drunk
from the marriage day to the day of
his death. General Ben Butler mar
ried an actress and she never PLAYED
after the nuptials. Jean Davenport,
who was great in "Queen Elizabeth, u
now lives in Washington. She quit
the stage after she married General
Annie Louise Cary, whom saw only a
few days ago, still fair, fat and forty,
gave up her profession when she mar
ried the broker, Raymond. She sings
at home, but nowhere else. These are
the most prominent ones | can recall,
There may be more, but there are few
l might say no-happy marriages be-
tween actresses and professional
men while the actresses remain upon
the stage.-Philadeiph Times

Lively Fight With a Gator.

Tom Knott and Judy Branch, who
left for the Branch plantation well sup
piled with guns. dogs, etc., had terri
BILE fight with large alligator, says a
Florida letter to the GLObe-DemOcrdt.
1t appears that the boys were out hunt
ing some cattle, accompanied by their
pet dog. In hunting around they came
across an immense saurian, but as his
'gatorship was engaged in watching
some calves, he did not notice the two
'bloods'' from this place. The dog not
being well up in the gator business,
commenced the attack at once. As
soon as his 'gatorship could change his
mind from calves to dogs he made a
sweep with his tail that brought the ca
nine around to his business end, and
before the dog had time to think of his
part, made snap that would have end
ed his career then and there, but the
instead of taking the whole dog, tail
and all, he got his tail only. The dog,
being thus freed, started on ! home
run; but the gator wanted = G if he
could not get calf, and, therefore, start
ed after him, rolling over and over.
This method of locomotion was so un-
usual that the dog became disgusted,
and made such good time that the ga
tor gave it up and turned his attention
to his human enemies. They, in tnrn,
were so badly frightened they lost their
gun, armed themselves with fence rails,
and then the fight was fast and furious.
The gator would take the rails be-
tween his teeth and crush them up as
if he enjoyed them for diet. To vary
the exercises he would snatch a rail and
sweep it round in way that made his
assailants give him plenty of room.
Finally, after terrible struggle, he was
forced to go where all gators go, and
hunt calves and dogs no more. Messrs.
Knott and Branch say that he was, un-
doubtedly, the widest gator they ever

Little Birds at Sea.

Exery day we see playing around the
ship, and skimming up and down the
wave hollows companies of lovely lit
tie terms and sea swallows, the latter
no larger than thrushes. These fear
less people of the air have not by any
means followed us from the land, liv-
ing as gulls often will, on the waste
thrown from the vessel. They are
vague and casual roamers of the ocean,
who, spying the great steamship from
afar, have sailed close up to see if we
are rock or an island, and will then
skim away again on their own free and
boundless business.
Yonder tiny bird, with purple and
green plumage, his little breast and
neck laced with silver, is distant 1000
miles at this moment from drop of
fresh water, and yet cares no more for
that fact than did the Irish squire who
'.lived twelve miles from lemon"

stroke of the small red foot and a beat
of the wonderful wing launch him off
from the jagged edge of his billow. and
he fits past us at one hundred knots
an hour, laughing steam and canvas to
scorn, and steering for some nameless
crag in Labrador or Fundy, or bound,
it may be, homeward for some island
or marsh of the far-away Irish coast.
Maryelously expressive of power as
is our untiring engine, which all day
and all night throbs and pants and
pulses in noisy rhythm under the deck,

pretty, fearless sea swallow back to his
roost!-Sir EdaOdrd Arnoid

Corn Husking.

There are in round numbers about
1000. 900, 900 bushels of corn in the crop
of 1889, says the Orange Judd Farmer.
Of this perhaps 100, 900, 900 bushels may
be eaten by cattle and hogs direct from
the stalks. either in the field or yards.
The other 1000, 600, 600 bushels are all
to be husked by hand, for as yet there
is no machine invented which will do
this work profitably. Do the husking
men and boys (and some women) aver
age fifty bushels a dayP Probably not.
Even if they do, our corn-husking this
year will require 30,000,O00 days of
work, which is equal to an army of L.
100000 huskers all working steadily
thirty-eight days each! Messieurs in
ventors, please hurry up that steam
husking-machine so long promised. A
big mem: If twenty huskers could have
begun on this years crop 5000 years
ago (seven years before Grandpa Adam
began living) and kept busily husking
fifty bushels day each, without any
holidays, but 315 days in each and
every year down to our present time,
they would at the end of this year still
have 30,000,000 bushels of corn left to
husk out of the crop of 1889, after al
lowing 100, 900, 600 bushels to be con-
sumed without husking.

WElCHSEL STICKS.
The Latest Style of Cane, Recently Inn
ported from Germany.

A well-known club man stood in front
of the Hotel Brunswick yesterday af-
ternoon, says the New York Mail and
EGpresS, swinging a cane which attract
ed the attention of almost every passer-
by. The cane had been received from
Berlin a few days ago, and is consider
ed forerunner of what will be the
rage here in the fall. The cane in
question was made of weichsel wood,
with an elaborate handle, though the
stick was quite slender in comparison
with the canes of few months ago.
The knot which formed the handle
seemed rope tied in a sailors knot,
thickly covered with silver, which was
tied in the most artistic design, with
here and there pieces cut out, through
which the natural wood could be seen.
There were seven knots sticking out in
the handle, and on each one of these
was a fly or huge mosquitoes honey-bee,
a potato-bug, miniature rat, or wee
bit of an opera hat. The coating of sill
yer extended several inches down the
stick and looked decidedly odd.
A Broadway dealer in canes said, on
being told about the ornamented stick.
New York would be filled with Just
such canes. ''They are quite the thing
abroad, and on almost every transat-
lantic steamer few are brought over.
They are very expensive just at pres
ent, but as soon as the public becomes
infatuated with them the price will de-
cline.
''Weichsel-wood canes have always
been considered comparatively rare in
this country, though men who make
canes their hobby always have bought
a variety of them. Weichsel wood
comes from Germany, near the famous
Black forest. 1t is used in the manu-
facture of Kirschwasser, and is made
into pipes as well as canes. 1t is light
reddish-brown in color and has pleas
ing odor. which perfumes the hand
when held. Weichsel-wood cultivation
has become quite an industry in Ger
many. the greatest care being taken in
orchards in which the wood is grown
to use for canes.
while the trees are growing the
wood is trained into all sorts of odd
twists, which make the handles. A
plain stick, without ornamentation and
nothing particularly odd about the han
die, is worth 50. The stick is usually
bought unadorned, and the buyer can
take it to his jeweler and spend just as
much money as he pleases having il
fixed up. l have no doubt that before
the craze draws to a close some men
about town, who always go to extremes,
will astonish Broadway and Fifth
avenue with handles either exquisitely
hideous or eXuulsitelv beautiful"

Never Tired,

Among the early American settlers
there was an impression that the In
dians had no intelligence or craft in
their relations with the white men.
The latter soon found, however, that
this was not the case. Some of the
farmers attempted to make farm SER
wants of the Indians, but discovered
that they had a propensity to ''get
tired" so soon after they began to work
that their services were of little value.
One day farmer was visited by a
stalwart Indian, who said, Me want
work"
mo, SIR" said the farmer, you will
get tired"
No, no." said the Indian, ''me never
get tired!''
The farmer, taking his word for it,
set the Indian to work and went away
about some other business. Toward
noon he returned to the place and
found the Indian sound asleep under a
tree.
Look here-look herer shouted the
farmer, shaking the Indian violently,
you told me that you never got tired,
and yet here you are stretched out on
the ground"
Ugh" said the Indian rubbing his
eyes and slowly clambering to his feet,
''if me not lie down me get tired like
the rest. ."-BiTn1t1aghdnl Post.

The little 7-year-old daughter of a
leading physician in neighboring city
heard the question as to what flower
would make the best national emblem
discussed at considerable length only
the other day by party of guests at
her fathers dinner table. Each guest
had given an opinion and supported it
with the customary argument, when
suddenly the little girl woke up.

think would be the best national eln-

She answered with an air of relief, as

settled:
