A PlaywrIght'S Blue Book.

There exists in the Lord Chamber
lain's office in London priceless:
collection of manuscript plays, for
every author has to deposit in the
official archives copy Of the work for
which license is demanded Over
and over again an author who has lost
his manuscript has been able, through
the generous assistance of the librarian,
to obtain copy of his property by
paying small fee for having it
transcribed. We doubt not that the
Lord Chamberlain would permit the
publication, in the form of a Blue
Book, Of a complete list Of all the plays
hitherto licensed by the Lord Cham Der
lain and contained in the official
archives, says the London Telegraph.
With the aid of such catalogue a
dramatic author could see at glance
what titles had been used before, and
dramatic historians would have
under their hand the dates and places
of production of all the plays of the
century. Managers, authors and critics
would cheerfully subscribe for the
issue of such blue book, for, OF
course, there are no funds available
by the Lord Chamberlain for its
public ltion

that Marcus Morton, and not Edward
Everett, should be governor OF Massa-

.Iudpe Morton had been candidate for
office thirteen successive years when
he was chosen by this meager majority.
The state had Just 1rifle over 100000
votes at that election. Two years later
Judge Morton was elected governor by
one majority a second time. This one
majority was, however, then the Legls-
lature, the people having made no
choice These occurrences were very
remarkable They are called to mind
by the one-vote majority just given in

He Got the Dinner.
From the New York Star.

FROM Tue NEW 1OTh Ctdr
A well-dressed, bright-looking young
man entered French restaurant where
table d'hote dinner for 80 cents was adj
vertised and asked the proprietor in
good French the following questions:
''Will you trust me tor dinner to-
night, sir? 1 will pay you tomorrow
evening"
Certainly Sit down."
The young man had his dinner and Or
dered cigar besides, which he walked
out putting, while he had given his check
to the proprietor.
"Neyer saw him before"
''Then why did you trust him?"
"Well, he's hungry, or he would not
have asked me for credit He is we'll
dressed, and cannot always be without
money"
But did it not occur to you that he
might be fraud??'
"Perhaps-but [ never refuse man
a dinner when he asks for it in a manly
way. Some people would not ask, but
would eat the dinner and be quite salts
fed to be kicked out afterward."
''Do you have many applications of
that kind Pr
Every night I have someone, and
have never lost a dollar yet in that
way
''How do you account for this ?"
THAT man rarely repudiates the
fact that he is honest when another
man shows him that he can be. l get a
good deal of trade that way, too"
There are few men in New York who
would be willing to run the risk of
trusting every well-dressed young man
even to the extent of a quarter, but the
good-hearted Frenchman has found in
his modest little basement the medium
of appealing to the honor of the impe-
cunious-tbrough their stomach.

An Empress Had Mysteries.
From the London World.

There was very painful scene when
the Empress of Austria visited the
royal palace at Naples the other day.
She walked up and down the rooms,
which she had last seen thirty years
ago, when her sister was Queen OF
Naples, evidently quite overcome by
her recollections, and presently went
into corner to look at picture which
had attacted her attention, and which,
to the immense dismay of her suite,
turned out to be portrait of the Crown
Prince Rudolph, whose tragical death
has quite upset his mothers mind, his
name being never mentioned in her
presence. The Empress had violent
lit of mysteries on suddenly seeing her
sons picture, and presently left the
palace 10 return to her yacht in a state
of dist action, crying. sobblng, and

Protect Your Health.

Cold and moisture combined have torporis-
ing effect upon he bodily organs. and the di-
gestive and secretive processes are apt to be
more tardily performed in winter than in the
fall The same is true, also of the excretory
functions. The bowels often sluggish. and
the pores of the skin throw off but little waste
matter at this season. The system, therefore,
requires opening up little. and also purifying
and regulat ing, and the safest, surest and most
thorough tonic aud alternative that can be used
for these purposes is Hostetter's Stomach Bit
tiers. Persons " no wish to escape the rheumat-
ic lwinges, the dySpeptic agOnes, the pi intul
disturbances of the bowels the bilious attacks,
and the nervous vl>itations so common at this
time of the year, will do we'll to reinforce their
systems with this renowned vegetable stomachic
and invigorant. 1t improves the appetite,
