A Veteran Actor.

New York World.
c. w. Couldock, of "Hazel Kirke"
fame. has dropped pretty much out of
sight in the past few years. He was OH
Broadway the other day looking quite
hale for his age and rosy with the hope
OF lingering for some time OH the stage.
He came to this country as Charlotte
Cushman's chief support i'll 1868, and
has remained here ever since. His
chief fame was gained during the NAL
lory regime at the Madison Square the
alter, when he played the Ir0n-Willed
father of Hazel Kirke, who sternly re-
fused to forgive an erring daughter un
til the last act, when, with heart
broken and husky exclamation of "me
chee-ild," he took her to his arms, and
the family entente cordiale was restored.
Couldock began with the Mallorys at
S75 week. and was getting $275 when
the run Of the play ended, and he went
to star in The Willow Copse." A
pretty phase of the old mans life is the
tenderness with which he clings to the
memory of his dead daughter. She was
an actress and died while playing an
engagement in Salt Lake City, and was
buried there. Every summer CouldOck
makes trip to the City of the Saints to
visit her grave. An amateur club of
young MOrmons send for him every
year to stage a play or two, and he
cheerfully embraces the offer because
it gives him his expenses and brings
him close to the dear dead one whose
memory he cheriSheS.

Encouragement for EEurderers.

indianapolis journal.
A Cincinnati murderer has been SEN
fenced to be hanged April 3, 1891. Why
courts in this country should postpone
executions after this fashion is one of
the things no one can explain sat
isfactorily. If he has committed the
crime and is to suffer the pen
ally. nothing is to be gained either to
the community Or to the criminal by de-
laying the event. There is no reason
to suppose that the Cincinnati murderer
Will be better man next April than he
will be ten days from this time. In
deed, there is a probability that he will
be worse, because of the added 0ppor-
tunities for hvpocritical reform" The
three months will prolong his misery
unnecessarily. however, and afford time
for the creation of maudlin Senti-
ment in his behalf that is far less
wholesome in its moral influence than
a prompt and judicous hanging. They
conduct this unpleasant part of gov
eminent discipline better abroad Ey-
raud, the French stranger, for Instance,
will be guillotined in forty days, and
when the forty days expire there will
be no respite

WHAT SHE ATE.

The Order Given by Young
Woman Whose Looks Deceived.
New York Sun.
A party of men sat at table in a
Broadway restaurant slipping cognac
after luncheon. A girl of seventeen or
Whereabouts entered sbyly andetook her
seat at table near by. The girls figure
was slender, her lovely face was softly
tinted, her eyes were blue and innocent.
She drew her gloves from her small
white hands and held the bill OF fare
daintily before ner. She seemed search
ing for something made of rose leaves
and honey dew.
Two to one she orders lobster salad"
said one of the men watching the sweet
maid.
Done" responded another. "Salad
is too coarse for her. She'll have cold
c0nsOmme."
swell, now, you just listen for her to
order an omelet soutf1ee," said third.
Il never saw girl out shopping in my
life that didn't run in at nOontIme and
get an omelet souff1ee. They are so
fluffy and sugary that they just hit fem
mime taste"
That girl will order chocolate eclair

the party.
In the meantime the waiter was
standing at the elbow of the dainty
fairy, expecting her order. She studied
the card long and carefully and then
she pouted.
Il don't think you have what l
want"
I'VE have most everything" said
the waiter.
"Yes," responded the girl; "but I
came in here Oh purpose for one thing,
and don't see it Oh the menu"
What is it, miss?' asked the waiter.
"Frankfurter sausages and sauer-
kraut," replied the maiden.
One of the men at the neighboring
table dropped his brandy glass.
and another coughed convGlsively
from having swallowed some of the
liquor the wrong way. The young lady
rose from her chair and inquired of the
waiter if he knew any place close by
where sausages and sauerkraut were
obtainable. She was tod TO seek Sixth
avenue, and as she rustled away the
men who had discussed her appetite or
dered additional brandies.

girl is of German descent" And he
turned up his nose as far as it would go.

APerfum er's Skilled Nostrils-The

APerfum ar's Skilled Nostrils-The
characteristics of Books.
New York Tribune.
The talk drifted to the education of
the senses to higher degree than COM
mon, and one man said: ut is remark
able how we'll a perfumer learns to
recognize a scent. In testing a sweet
smelling liquid he vets the base of his
thumb with little of it. Then he rubs
the place rapidly with his right hand.
The alcohol In which the essence is dis
solved being the most volatile, it is at
once eVaporated, and the substance
which emits the odor remaining behind
he can smell it in its purity.
"Of course it is an easy thing to recOg
nize the principal odorS that are in use,
but when several are mixed, as is COM
mon, his task becomes more difficult.
Yet skilled man can not only tell you
what three or four perfumes enter into
the composition of the one he is testing,
but also, roughly, the relative proper
tionS of EACH"
1t is easy to tell the relative amount
of wool and cotton in piece of colored
underwear, when you know how" said
another man. Men who have made
the subject specially can do this by
holding the cloth in the light and look
ing along it. The cotton and wool can
be distinguished by the difference in
their colors, which exists, although the
same dye was used for both. The I'M
trained eye could hardly detect the fact
that the cloth has TWO shades, but the
skill that comes from long practice
makes the thing simple"
Another of the party who has had a
great deal TO do with the books. told of
the way in which he knew an English
from an American book. "The books
printed in England" he said, "in nearly
every case have pleasanter odor than
those made here. Tie difference is said
to be largely due to the effect of the sea
air, but the kind of paste. ink, paper,
and binding used probably has some
thing to do with it. There is also a
marked difference in the smell of books
printed in this city. | would stake any
thing on my ability to recognize any
book published by a certain house i'll
this city, merely by putting the volume
near my nose.
"There are other ways of telling who
the publishers of a given book are, be-
sides looking at the title page. Some
how every firm gives certain char
acteristic look to every volume which it
issues, and skilled man can, in nine
cases out of ten, merely by looking at
the binding and at one of the pages, tell
from whose presses and bindery work
comes. This, of course, applies only to
the larger firms, and to books printed
comparatively recently"

does not exist. The horsepower unit
was established by James Watt about a
century ago, and the figures were fixed
in a curious way. Watt found that the
average horse of his district could raise
$4,000 pounds one foot per minute. This.
then, was an actual horse power.
AT that time Watt was employed in
the manufacture Of engines. and GUS
toners were so hard to find that all
kinds of artificial inducements were
necessary to induce power users to buy
steam engines. AS method of encour-
aging them Watt offered to sell engines
reckoning $4,000 foot pounds to a horse
power. And thus he was the means OF
giving false unit to one of the most
important measurements in the world.

Wilkes Booth the Ideal Hamlet.

Joe Howard Jr.
I never hesitated to say what /
thought of John Wilkes Booth. who had
more brains to the square inch in his
superbly fashioned head than all the
other Booths rolled into one, multiplied
by 1O5. Gifted with unusual personal
beauty, supple aud graceful form, dig
nifed and attractive in bearing. essen
TALLY dexterous in the use of the sword,
with a daredevil in his nature which
subsequently led him to the commission
of the greatest tragic act of the age, he
carried, with rare brain force, a subtle
intuition of Shakesperean character
which made him an ideal Hamlet, need
ing only the calming culture of years
and the improving toning down of ex-
perience to make him absolutely a
ShakSperean Hamlet.

FAMILIAR UNIT OF POWER.

EXpIanat1On OF the OflEln ana
Meaning of the Term Horse
Power.
When men first begin to become IA
miliar with the methods of measuring
mechanical power they often speculate
on where the breed of horses is to be
found that can keep at work raising 49,
900 pounds one foot per minute. or the
equivalent, which is more familiar to
some mechanics, of raising $50 pounds
100 feet per minute. Since $4,000 pounds
raised one foot per minute is called one
horse power, it is natural that people
SHOULD thiak the engineers who estab-
lished that unit of measurement based
it on what horses could really do.
But the horse that can do this work
