An Actress Criticised to her Face.

A good story is told in the Stuttgart
Neue Musk Getting concerning one of
the most eminent German actresses and
a theatrical critic, equally well known
to fame. A number of ladies and gen.
tlemen were the other day travelling to-
gether in railway carriage from Ores
den to Leipsic. Only two of the pas
sengers knew each other, but the con.
versation soon became general, and the
Court theater at Dresden became the
subject of discussion.
One lady, who had been present the
evening before at the representation of
"Euryanthe," was loud in her express
sions of disapproval. Worse than al, /"
she exclaimed, 'that Nine. Schroeder is
much too old for her part. Her singing
is becoming unbearable. Don't you
think SO too?" she asked, turning to the
gentleman next to her. "Would you not
rather tell all this to Nine. Schroeder
herself? She is sitting opposite to you,"
he replied coldly.
After the general silence which fol-
lowed this remark the critical lady
turned to the actress with many con-
fused apologies. sit is that horrid critic,
SCHNEIDER, who has influenced my judg.
ment concerning your singing. I believe
it is he who is always writing against
you. He must be q most disagreeable
and pedantic person." "Had you not
better tell all this to M. SCHNEIDER him
selfT calmly asked the actress. "He is
sitting next to you"

Making Minutes Count.
ladies Home journal. ]

A poor girl, who works all day in the
mending room of an embroidery factory,
told me how the girls used their spare
minutes. There were thirty of them,
and whenever piece of embroidery
came from the great looms it went into
their hands to be looked over and mend
ed, SO what they did was ''piece work."
and any minutes they gave up were
deducted from their time at the end of
the week. After thinking it over they
decided that each one could spare ten
minutes day, and the one who was
having her ten minutes read to the
others. In this way they got 800 min
utes day, 1900 minutes week, and
whoever among you is good arithme-
tician-count how many minutes year
that would be for them. Doesn't this
make you, who govern your own time, a.
bit ashamed?, -

Quick Profits.

A few years ago, in this city, a yesse;
that had been disabled at sea was towed
to wharf. She belonged to one William
Weldon, well to do merchant. Weldon
had met with many reverses in the way
OF vessel losing, and this loss almost
put him out of heart. The vessel was
named the Golden Gate.
In conversation one day with the cap
tain OF the vessel Weldon said:
Captain, have made my mind up
not to enter into any more vessel enter
prises. will sell you the Golden Gate
for $500 cash."
"But I'm not able to buy" said the
captain.
There was in Weldon's employ at this
time a green looking boy by the name of
John Bell, who overheard the conversa-
ton. When the captain left, undecided,
John slipped into his employers Office
and said:
''If you please, Mr.. Weldon, what
will you sell the Golden Gate for?'
"Well," said Weldon, 81 offered her
to Captain Bently for 5000. But why
do you ask"
"Will you sell her to me for SCOOP
asked John.
"Why, of course, since offered her. to
Bently for that sum; but you have no
money, John. I told Captain Bently l
would sell for CASH"
Consider her sold to me-" said John
''if you please, and will bring the
money at once"
When the Golden Gate was pulled W
at the wharf tJohn Bell happened to BE-
there, land he heard man remark
"She is badly damned up, but she is
worth $1,000. will give that for her
as she is. But Weldon can fix her up
at half that expense and have a new YES
sell"
Before night John Bell had sold the
vessel to the man who made the remark
for $1,000, paid Weldon 5000 and was
$1,000 in pocket.
