always satisfactory, l esteem it equally high in

When Booth DodSed Dead Cats.

When first saw Edwin Booth it was as
Richard at the old Chatham Street theater
in this city. He had gone on suddenly as
a substitute for his father. He was only
a boy, but in spite of his lapkiness he made
favorable impression. Old Booth didn't
want him to be an actor, but he usually
kept the lad in his dressing room to help
him on and OF with his clothes
In 1855, when Edwin was twenty-one
years old, he came back from Australia
with Dave Anderson, where he had been
starring in a vagrant sort of way, and
landed in San Francisco. At that time
Sam Colville was the manager of the
Sacramento theater, and was stage man
ager, having left Edwin Forrest to take
the place.
While at the Bay" as we used to call
Frisco in those days, Edwin and / be.
came acquainted. We put our heads to.

Sacramento and took a theater there, be-

win opened in Richard, !" and played three
or four weeks quite profitably. Then sew
eral stars came along and he supported
them. One was a woman from Salt Lake.
Edwin acted Claude to her Pauline and
the house was packed nightly.
Among other incidents was the engage

named Clapp. He played Hamlet and Ed.

Hair and Fine Cloth.

1t is because of their scaly structure that
those hairs which possess it are endowed
with the property of felting-that is of be-
ing so interlaced and entangled by certain
mechanical operations as TO form dense
clothlike texture. The substance of men S
hats is made of lambs wool and rabbits
fur, not woven, but simply beaten, pressed
and worked together between damp cloths
The same property makes woven WOODEN
tissues close and thick, and it is on this &C
count that worsted stockings shrink, be-
coming thicEe r and firmer after they have
been worn for awhile and washed fire.
quently.
Broadcloth is given it's close and firm
texture by the intimate union of the felted
wool fibers of which it is composed. From
the commercial point of view, the excel
lence of wool is determined by the close
ness of the little teeth or scales. Merino
fiber has 2,4G0 teeth to an inch, while an
even superior wool for felting purposes,
called Saxon, is seen under the microscope
to have 9, 20 teeth to an inch.-Interview

An Accommodating Man from Pittsburg.
There were cinders on his white hat
and buster, but he didn't mind that. He
stood at Twenty-eighth street, inspecting
the remnants of Broadway with great
interest, and softly whistling 1.-The Un-
dertakers' Picnic" He was just getting
purchase on the chorus when two
elderly ladies, evidently strangers, ap-
preached him in some perplexity.
"Will you kindly tell u.s." said the
elder of the two, chow to reach Fourth
avenue and Twenty-first street,"
Certainly, madam. Walk right up
this street six blocks, turn to your left,
walk two and there you are" and he
waved them up Broadway as confidently
as if the globe would not need to be trav-
ersed before Fourth avenue and TWEEN
ty-first street could be reached by that
route.
Thank you so much" chorused the
two women gratefully, starting off as
directed, exactly as they should not go.
The chorus of 1.-The Undertakers' Pic
mic" was softly resumed, but the whistler
strolled slowly down to policeman on
the next block,
Say, if went six blocks up here and
turned two to the left, where would l

Nature in an Unfamiliar Attitude.

Sometimes almost unawares. one catches
nature in an unfamiliar attitude that
leaves an impression on the mind of having
learned something distinctly and entirely
new. 1t usually requires n passage through
rome physical discomfort-a facing of
rain or snow. or a wadiDg through wet
and tangled grass. The unusualness of
the experience is its chiefest charm. One
is generally alone on such trips. There is
no one out but those who really love
nature, and this gives q sort OF proprietor
ship in the scene. But, it must be re-
peated. this feeling must be purchased at a
proportionate expense of energy-pature
