"The Hunchback" revival-it is to give
way in week to a reproduction of "As
You Like It"-has been the chief happen
ing in the city's theatricals of late. Not
less eventful, but surely less agreeable, has
been the confession of absolute failure con-
veyed in the news that Mrs. Fanny Ber-
nard-Beere has decided to return to Eng
land. Her chagrin is admitted by her
friends, and her manager not only pockets
a substantial loss without murmur, but
has even been heard to say that he consid-
ers himself we'll out of bad bargain.
In this case there will be much sympathy
for the actress. She has been misled by
her manager. who, it is to be feared, did
not weigh all the circumstances carefully
before he made this venture. 1t was quick
ly demonstrated to her New York audiences
that Mrs Beere is an actress of consider
able force, intelligent in her reading, grace
full in movement and attractive in person
atty. but the most friendly observer has
admitted that Mrs. Beere does not possess
the manifold and striking advantages
which should enter into the equipment OF
q star actress.
One might easily fancy her as of value
in q stock company. where, in certain
strongly marked and dominant roles, she
should we'll display her technical skill and
long experience, for Mrs. Beere has been
before the public well nigh quarter of a
century. The termination of her tour is set
down for Dec 10. in Brooklyn. She will
then have played here just four weeks,
yet she had hoped to remain six months.

A PARADISE FOR cRlckE tERs.

The Handsome New Home of the Merton
Cricket Club.
Philadelphia is one of the greatest cricket
cities in the United States, and lovers Of
the interesting English sport have recently
occupied extensive grounds and elaborate
buildings at Haverford, near the city. The
movers in the project are members of the
Merton Cricket club, an organization
founded in 1865 by William w. Montgom-
cry. The new grounds of the club are near
the Haverford station of the Pennsylvania
railroad aud'comprise 121z acres. A wide
and massive gateway admits clubmen to
the grounds, which are encircled by afence

How to Iron Shirt Bosoms and Other
Articles Requiring Fine Polish.
1t is presumed that the starching has
been done and the shirt is ready for iron
ing. The following advice from Good
Housekeeping will then be found useful:
bosom board is indispensable, and the
best style is that with clamps at the cor
ners for holding the bosom firmly in place.
The best covering is one Of soft flannel, and
If there are two or three thicknesses SO
much the better. 1t is scarcely necessary
to say that everything connected with the
work = irons, boards. covering, cloths
must be scrupulously clean. Plenty Of
salt and strong paper should be at hand,
30 that If necessary the iron may be quick
ly freed from any adhering starch.
The first stages of the work are done very
much as any other articles are ironed. The
best method is to iron first the neckband
(Which is never starched), then the sleeves.
following with the back and then with the
unstarched front. If the wristbands are to
be polished, they should have attention be-
fore the bosom is taken in hand, in order
that there may be no danger of injuring
the latter by any final manipulations. The
bosom board having been put in place, and
the shirt fastened in position, If that be
practical, it is an excellent thing to cover
the bosom with wet cloth and iron it over
quickly with very hot iron. The cloth is
then removed, and with an iron as hot as
it can be used without danger of scorching
the linen rub the bosom rapidly up and
down, taking pains not to pass the iron
either across or diagonally upon the fabric.
AS this is being done the bosom should be
pulled into place, if necessary
A polishing iron with rounded portion
Is very desirable in this work, as all the
energy can then be concentrated upon a
small surface, bringing out readily all the
gloss of the starch and the linen. If, un-
fortunately, the work should be scared so
as to give yellow tinge, it should be hung
in the sun, which will in few hours draw
out the discoloration. This is a valuable
fact, not known to every wielder Of the
smoothing iron. Some laundrcsses damp
en- the bosom with wet cloth before be-
ginning to iron, instead Of spreading the
cloth over, but the latter is much the bet
ter way.

The type of finger, whether spatulate,

result while the long pointed denotes tact

FOLKLORE OF THE STARS.

Tho Omjn0us Shooting Stars--Lucky and
Unlucky Horoscopes.
The Edda says that originally all the
stars were sparks of fire from Muspells-
helm that flew about the air at random
till the gods assigned them seats and or
bits. Another item of folklore ascribes
the shooting stars to a trimming Of the
stars light, and affirms that they are like
the sparks we let fall in snuffing a candle.
Hence there is an old German saying to the
effect that there is "Nostar so bright but
trims itself somewhere" with which may
be compared a similar one found among
continental peasantry, who speak Of "the
stars shutting themselves"
In Germany much Importance is attached
to the appearance of the shooting stars,
which are believed to be ominous. Indeed
in bygone years SO much superstitious awe
was paid to them that on seeing them per-
sons were recommended to say prayer.
To the generous girl, says Grimm. who
has given away her all, they bring down
with them gold pieces and it is further
said that whatever wish you form while
the snuff is falling is fulfilled" In Corn
wall there is a curious piece of folklore
relating to shooting stars. 1t seems that a
mucilaginous substance is found on the
damp ground near the granite quarries of
Penryn which is often very phosphorescent
at night. The country people regard this
as the substance Of shooting stars.
It is curious that the Belgian peasants
also call it "the substance Of shooting
stars" "But chemical analysis" writes
Mr.. Phipson in his interesting work ON
"Phosphorescence," 'proves 1t to be the
peculiar mucus which envelopes the eggs
of the frog" It was also widespread no
ton that shooting stars predicted at
mospheric disturbances-a piece Of wealth
erlore which dates back as far as the time
of Virgil, who writes:
And oft, before tempcstuous winds arise.
The seeming stars fall headlong from the skies.
Among some of the many other legend
airy fancies which in the course Of years
have become associated with the stars
may be mentioned one quoted by Thorpe
in his Northern Mythology" who says:
"Old maids and bachelors, according to the
North Frisians, are curiously employed
after death. AS soon as the sun isssunk
below the horizon the old maids must cut
stars out of 1t, which the old bachelors
during the night must blow up In the east.
going all the time up or down ladder"
And then of course there was the favor
lite astrological doctrine which asserted
that mundane events are more or less in
fuenced by the stars. Hence it was said
that a child born under the sign of the
lion would be courageous, but one born
under the crab would not go forth we'll in
life, whereas another born under the wa
terman would probably be drowned, etc.
Shakespeare makes frequent allusion to
this old piece of superstition, which was
carried to ridiculous height in his day
