On Friday and Saturday Of this week
Edgar Selden will be at the Opera
House in "Will O. the Wisp." or this
play the Brooklyn Times says:
A new star has dawned in the Irish
dramatic armament in the person OF
Edgar Selden, who appeared last night
in wholesome and interesting Irish
comedy drama entitled "Will O. the
Wisp." The story is delightfully."- in
teresting. Mr.. Selden, as the nero,
shows himself capable as an Irish
comedian, and reminds one not little
OF Mr.. Seaman, the favorite actor. He
has a pleasing stage presence, an excel
lent voice and a sound, rich brogue. His
witticisms had real Hibernian flavor,
and were warmly appreciated. He has
an excellent supporting company.
THE INDIAN NAIL CARRIER.
A large audience greeted Go-Won-Go
Mohawk at the Grand last night in her
own drama, the Indian Mail Carrier.
Miss Mohawk is an actress OF high or
der, and soon establishes herself
strong favorite with the audience. The
play is not OF the blood AID thunder or
der, but a nice comedy drama. The
play was all we'll taken. Miss Mohawk
appears again this evening and to-mor-
row afternoon there will be grand
matinee for ladies and children. The
price for children will be only 10 cents.

Bleeding at the Nose.

Bleeding from the nose may arise from
an impoverished state of the blood.
When it occurs in persons of middle age
it is more serious, as it is then often q
symptom of some other disease. The
bleeding can generally be stopped by
making the patient raise both arms above
his head and hold them there some time.
Sponging with cold or iced water to the
forehead and face, and applying towel
wet with cold water between the shoul-
ders will, in some cases, succeed. The
application of strong solution of alum
to the inside of the nostrils, or plugging
the nostrils with lint or cotton wool
soaked in the solution, may be necessary
if the bleeding is profuse, The health of
the person subjected to the attacks
should be improved by nutritious diet
animal food, with potatoes, green salads,
and fruit. The following prescription
may be relied on: Tincture of steel, Q
drains; dilute muriatic acid, 1 dram;
syrup of orange peel, l ounce; infusion
of calumba, ounces. Mix for child
one table spoonful in a wine glass of
water before meals; for an adult, in
crease the DOSE New York Dispatch.

Price of Tea.

The cost of common tea is about three
cents per pound. The cost of manufac-
ture, export duty, packing, etc, about
double the price; SO that the cost ON
board ship amounts to about five and
a-half cents per pound. About three
hundred pounds or four hundred pounds
of brick tea 60 to basket" made of
light bamboo. Two baskets form a
camel-load. Brick tea is in bulk about
one-sixth of ordinary tea. In Mongolia,
where the nomad population of herds
men have little use for money, their
tents, clothing, food and temples being
supplied by their focks, brick tea forms
a standard of value and convenient
medium of exchange, as it is in universe
demand for food. A brick or half @
brick of tea is placed in a copper vessel
and boiled up with mutton fat and but
ter, and the food is eaten hot in liquit
condition. Lately new commodity has
come on the Hankow market, to which
the customs give the name of log tea
1t is an inferior tea, with stalks, packed
in the shape of logs, which weigh from
eight pounds to eighty pounds each log
The tea is wrapped in the leaves of the
Bambusa latVolia, and then reduced il
bulk by binding round the log witt
lengths of split bamboo. This log tie,
is sent to the Chinese ports for consump
tion, and is packed thus from motives o!
economy, both of packing and of freight

The Skull Made Advances.

A physician tells the following story:
1" AT one time when | was a medical
student my class had been for several
days studying the bones of the head. To
aid in this number of human skulls had
been brought into the lecture room.
After we were through with them they
were thrown in a heap into one corner.
/" One night | CHANGED to be left alone
in the room. Finding it quiet and plea
SAINT in the half light, sat down to smoke
a cigar. Immediately facing me was the
pile of skulls. They presented very
uncanny appearance as the light from a
dim gas burner played over them, making
them seem almost alive with u certain
play of expression. One particularly big
fellow, lying right on top of the pile, APP
peared actually to wink at me from its
lidless eye sockets, while the teeth in the
gaping mouth grinned horribly. Amused,
| winked back and offered my cigar,
when suddenly there was slight noise
and the skull inclined slightly forward
as if bowling acceptance. There was no
mistake about it. 1t moved, not only
once, but twice.
81 dropped my cigar and sat up
straight in my chair, my eye fixed on the
grewsome thing, There was another
louder noise and a stronger movement
of the skull, when down it came crashing
to the floor and bounded to my very feet.
In an instant was on the table near by
gazing upon the strange thing and ready
for precipitate fight
Then the skull gave violent shake
and turned over and out jumped big
rat, which scampered across the floor and
into hiding. - Philadelphia Times.

CLOAK.HOUSE MODELS.
They are Very Scarce and Control
Fair Salaries.

Cloak manufacturers are complaining
of the great scarcity of desirable models.
There was time, they say, when an ad-
yertisement for u model or figure, as they
are called in the business, would bring
forth a food of replies. This is the
busiest season of the year, and many
new models are required to "try on" in
the work and sales rooms. There are
thousands of young women in this city
who imagine themselves physically cut
out to become a cloak model but they
are far from it. The public knows very
little concerning the requirements for a
figure. The fact that they are paid
from $40 to $1S per week for compare
lively easy work is sure indication that
they are not to be had in great numbers.
1t doesn't require any experience to be a
model. One must be graceful and have
fine physical proportions. Good looks
don't count, either, though showroom
figure must have some attractions and
dress much better than an unknown
model.
Manufacturers as rule require a
woman of about 5 feet, Ct inches in
height. She seldom goes under that, but
sometimes half an inch more is desirable.
Misses figures go according to age and in
very few cases become good women
models. The professional figure has a
natural grace about her that cannot be
acquired by artificial means. Any young
woman who has the height mentioned
above, bust measurement of 36 inches,
waist "a inches, length of back from 16t
to II inches, arms "a inches, neck 12t
inches, hips AZ inches and 134 inches
across the shoulders, is a perfect figure
and can find steady employment in any
cloak house, at any time if she chooses.
January, February, July and August
are the busiest months in the cloak bust
ness. During the first two months out
of-town buyers flock here in great num-
bers to purchase goods for the spring
and summer trade. The last two months
are used for laying in supply of fall
and winter wraps and suits. The show
room figures generally have a contract
for all the year around and are paid in
full for the same, but they seldom have
to do much outside those four months
The work-room figures are always kept
busy. They are the hardest worked of
any in the establishment. The sample
model must be the most perfect. She,
too, is compelled to toll the year around.
would not to have pay for
other than actual working time if there
were not dearth in models. The big
gest cloak house in this city employs
fifteen figures. The trying on" to show
to customers is done by either an exam
iner or the lady assistants.
"a model must not be too attractive"
said a manufacturer. "A beautiful face
draws too much attention when person
is buying and results in neglect of
proper inspection of the article displayed.
What is required is to show the stock to
its best advantage without drawing un-
necessary attention to the model. ."-[ New

Science at Sea.

A steam yacht of displacement of
$50 tons has been fitted up by the Prince
of Monaco for the study of foceanography.
1t is arranged to give large reserve of
steam power for scientific work, and its
engine room contains in addition to the
engines, dynamo, an ammonia freez-
ing machine, water still and other ap-
paratus. Electric lamps are provided
For illumination, together with u 10000
candle-power search light for night OBJ
servations of the sea. Other special fit
tings include refrigerating chamber
and cold chamber, several laboratories,
winches and cables for deep-sea sound
ings. The Prince has already made
considerable progress in the study of the
direction and velocity of ocean currents.
During the last three years he has been
recording the picking up of numbered
floats, which to the number of LOO he
has thrown overheard in three distinct
regions between Europe and America,
and has been making very accurate
chart of Atlantic currents from the data
thus supplied. In the course of these
operations interesting geological studies
have been made, adding many new
species to those before known.-[lIren-

BraZil's Railway Boom.

Brazil is having big railroad building
boom lust now. A dozen new roads are
being built to tap the southern and west
ern regions, where coffee growingis being
largely extended. American engines
and American cars are used on the roads,
but the rails come from England. Near
ly all the coal used also comes from
England, but it should come from the
United States, and probably will very
soon. The government exercises more
than paternal control over the railroads,
and looks after the interests of the in
vestors and the passengers with equal
solicitude. 1t requires the projectors to
guarantee certain dividend, establishes
the rates of fare and freight, keeps a
staff of engineers to regularly inspect
the roads and also takes share of the
profits. Times-Democrat

Fair gospellers whose feet are shod
With peace and plenty, and whose hands
Are filed with gracious gifts Of Godi
o Days as bright with miracle
As dawned on sacred Palestine.
The clod and stone are changed to bread,
And living waters turn to winel
o Days that tell us year by year
Gods Hand is o'er us still, nor we
Need strain our faith to reach the Low
That walked in distant Galileel
o Days OF resurrection JOY.
When furrowed graves are opened wide,
And duh unsightly germs appear
In living bodies glorified.
Lush grapes like swinging censers hang
From richly laden boughs, and fill
The q Ids with incense rs the sun
Illumines fruitful vale and hill.
The orchard colors glow and greet
With sweets the sweetness Of the hay,
And Harvest Moon forbids the night
To be less beautiful than day
o holy, happy Harvest-Days,
Sweet chroniclers of smile and tear,
OF light and shadow, pain and toll,
Earth's heart bears through the cir
cling year
Like ye some rich and ripened sheaves,
Some fruit Of deed | fain would show,
Perfected by lifes smiles and tears,
And beautiful in joy and woel
