proceeded TO say SO many really unk
and irrelevant things that Mrs. Kendall
got herself To the extent of replying
sarcastic manner to these unreasonable
in many respects impertineut and ind
cate structures.
So much has been said about Mrs. S
dial as a mother that the general read
public, and especially the female port
thereof, may be interested to know so
thing of her family.
There are five children, and, As usual,
females are in the majority. The eldest
child is a grown woman, Miss Margaret,
aged 70, who is the head of the family
while her mother is away ON her theatrical
tours, and who is an eminently practical
girl. She is of the stately English type of
beauty, and for the benefit of the young
ladies who may read this it should be
stated that she has no intention of adopt
ing the stage as profession, nor has she
yet found the man TO whom she is willing
to intruSt her happiness for life.
The second child is a boy, Darlington "A
manly and strapping fellow Of 10 who is
, being educated for the army. He is very
bright at his studies, and is enthusiastic as
can be whenever the subject of a military
life is preached.
The musical member of the Kendall fam
. lily is Miss Ethel, Il very beautiful girl OF
ing some day one of the worlds great sing
crs. She is now in Paris, where her parents
have placed her i'll the personal care of the
celebrated Nine. Niardot Garcia, who was a
fellow pupil of Jenny Lind.
Whatever money and education can &C
complish Miss Ethel will have She is a
particularly close and conscientious stu
dent, and is wrapped up in her art. Her
teacher, who is very fond of her, predicts
great things for her young charge.
Harold is n fine boy of ID. strikingly like
his father in facial appearances. He is at
present at Marlborough college, London
He will probably adopt profession, though
just which one has not Vet been decided
though il will not he the stage.
The baby is Dorothy, aged II, who is now
receiving first class education Mt Queen
college, Harley street, London. Naturally
she is the pet OF the family. as the young
est child generally i.
When Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall are in Lon
don, they invariably have all of their chill
dren there with them. They are essentially
home bodies and are never so happy as
when surrounded by their Interesting fam
lily ut their charming house At - Portland
place.
1t might interest many persons to know
and joint stars at that. The lady comes of
the celebrated Robertson family, famous in
the annals of the English stage. 1t was
therefore not surprising that she should
have sought and obtained u position at the
then celebrated Haymarket theater under
the management of John Baldwin Buck

was the leading Juvenile of that wonder
fully strong organization. They We're at
tracted to each other, and in course of
time were married. They were both so
young when they Joined the Haymarket
that they were known to the older men,
bers as the Babes In the Wood"
This was the first company in England
that ever toured the provinces, and the
local managers We're so we'll pleased with
the work of the young couple that they in
duced them to set up as independent stars
for themselves, which they very sensibly
did. They had their early struggles" of
course, but they never got to the point of
having to scuffle very hard to keep the fig
urative wolf from the metaphorical door.
1t may be worth mentioning that of that
famous old Haymarket company, besides
Mr.. and Mrs. Kendall but one member is
still living-Mr Howe, aged So, who is now
with Henry Irving in this country.

and sometimes the girl has been known
to fully reciprocate this spirit of inquiry.
At other times farmers daughters, who
ordinarily think nothing of getting over
five or six rail fence without help, have
been known TO require aid in climbing
three foot paling. Young men some
times become suddenly aware of the
beauty of the foliage of the fall, and take

The best way of keeping a secret of

The Prince of Orange was leading an

There is very necessary point in pre-
pairing macaroni dishes. That is that the
lnacaroni must be boiled just long
enough, as it is as easily spoiled by too
much or too little boiling rs green corn

bered is that there must be plenty of
water in the kettle in which it boils. and
that the water must be all the time

times three times a Sunday, to drive
seven miles along bad road in the middle
of the night and work four hours by the
light uf the m"nu in an attempt to secure

which he might have bought for less
money than II cost To repair the damage
made To- hS trousers by dog that be
lungt-d Ia the owner of the tree from
which the nuts were shaken by the solid
citizen. The aforesaid owner of the tree
and dog was greatly ssrieved because
his brute had wrecked the aforesaid gar
ment- a. he stated with emphasis at the
village store the next morning, but he
was right glad that the pup had a
chance fer practice" He sought to make
substantial restitution to the staid citizen
by sending to him the nuts which had
been left behind in the hurry of escaping
from the dog. identifying the man by
means of the fractional part of the trou-
sers' pattern left i'll the dogs mouth.
But the nuts and the torn piece of cloth
were sent back, together with fine show
cE indignation, and the two men have
not held verbal communications since.
Many mental and physical disorders of
q seasonable nature are inclined to be
also local, but the eCcentricitieS that
come with the nutting time seem 10 be
confined to no particular part of the
country, nor to the gatherers of any par
ticular sort of nut. Chestnuts, which
do not grow west Of the Mississippi
river; hickory nuts, common everywhere
east of the Rocky mountains; walnuts.

butternuts, that. like walnuts, are found
in most parts of the country; pecans,
which grow in the river bottoms of the
west and in greatest quantities in Texas;
hazelnuts. that. like pecans, grow on
bushes-all seem to radiate the same
malign influence. To see them hanging
ripe for gathering Is to be tempted Ia
take them regardless of ownership.
But it should not be understood that
all tho nuts consumed nowadays are
hooked before being put upon the
market. The demand of the great cities
for nuts is rapidly making 4 regular in
dustry out of the raising and marketing
thereof, and when this has been accom-
plished the romance of harvesting nuts
and the spell they cast over mankind
will disappear altogether. This much
to be protested against condition is like
" TO come soonest in the case of the
chestnut, which, though by no means
the best of American nuts. is, next to the
peanut-not nut at all, by the way, but
a root-the most easily eaten ont of hand
because of its soft shell, and therefore
most in demand on the part of the Ital-
ian street vender as desirable article of
trade. /. D. MARSHALL
