Checking Babies.

In Brooklyn, N. Y, Manager Belmar OF the
Lee-avenue Academy has established nursery
for the care of infants while the mothers enjoy
the performance at his house. To obviate any
unfortunate mixing up The babies Will be
checked like coats and hats at ball or like
collars at a Chinese laundry. There Is, how
ever. adds Stageland. one phase of this scheme
which may not have struck Mr.. Belmar, and
which. il 1t ever does. may seriously interfere
with his nights rest. 1t Will be remembered
that The plan was once tried at certain Boston
iheater. Its success was most emphatic In one
way, for hundreds OF babies were checked at
every performance. In another way it was a
comparative failure, for marked difference
was observed IN The number OF infants checked
before the performance and the number
claimed afterward. Indeed, at the end OF the
first and only week of the experiment the Bos-
ton manager found himself in charge OF
large and interesting batch OF uncaled-for
bundles OF humanity. There were babies or all
compilations. weights and nationaIties, TAT and
lean, long and short, the disposal OF which wor-
ried him not a little. He could not sell them at
auction like other parcels forgotten by careless
patrons, and he really did moi need them him
self, for he was a family man with several Of
his own. The police finally relieved him OF his
burdens and the plan was thereafter tabooed.

OthelIo Was Too Black.

This story was told by Harry Watkins shortly
before bis death and is laid In the South before
the war. He was a great favorite down there,
In spite OF his anti-slavery views.
One night he played "0thelio" for the first
time in a certain Georgia town. There was a
large house. and Mr.. Watkins acted with all
the power OF which he was capable: but the
audience sat stolld and frigid throughout the
whole performance except when Iago was on,
when they applauded. The Moor never got a

WEALTH HERE AND ABROAD.
0eints of Contrast Between the Rich In
America and In Europe.

Points of Contrast Between the Rich In
America and In Europe.
TIE English and the Americans are
both rich, but which are the richer?
Perhaps the statisticians know or can
ind out, but it is not certain that the
statistical answer would give the infor-
nation that one really wants and which
involves the distribution of wealth as
well as its mere existence. Most Amer
1cans have to work; but, as is we'll
known, a considerable proportion of
English people toll not nor spin, and
make no pretense of doing anything tor
Q living. Is that because the English
are richer than we, or is il a matter of
taste or a result of p~rimogeniture7 So
Also it appears-from close study of
documents submitted by Anthony Troll
lope and other contemporaries histo-
rians-that British gentlemen in re-
spectacle circumstances employ from
Eve to fifty servants and have severa;
houses apiece, all of which they live in,
and travel much besides. An Ameri-
n who lives in that way is looked
upon as a man of very exceptional re-
sources, but it would seem that an Eng.
tish gentleman who does not live in that
way is thought to be somewhat strait
ened. In England there are 800 or 40c
hunt clubs, and something like 90, 00G
Britishers ride pretty regularly to
hounds. But hunting is an expensive
sport that takes both time and money.
These English seem to have both to
spare.
A returned traveller was speaking OF
the shoals of agreeable English people
he met in the Riviera and in all the
play places of southern Europe. Wher,
asked if they were rich people, he said
not, but that they were able to live as
they did because they knew how and
got their moneys worth. He thought,
too. that the well to do English had a
more complete domestic apparatus ready
