Jealous Of a Stage Lover.

Too much zeal in the discharge of
his stage duties led a jeune premier
at a Paris preparatory theater into
disagreeable, not to say painful, adj
venture. The young actor was acting
with a lady of his own age in a new
piece and had to make a declaration
of love. He held the mirror up to
nature so we'll in the matter that the
young lady s intended husband, who
was looking on from the stalls, few
into a towering passion and thirst
ed for blood. When the performance
was over, the man possessed by the
green eyed monster waited at the
stage door for the jeune premier and
whacked vigorously at the actors
face with his cane. The player
bruised, bleeding and tearful-did
not make any effort to return blow
for blow, but holding up manu-
script which contained his part in
the play remarked to his aggressor
that he had done no more than fol-
low the instructions of the author of
the little love comedy in which he
had acted with the beautiful young
lady. The affair ended there.-Lon-
don Telegraph.

: Tl1ackerav's Joke.

While Thackeray was delivering
in Boston his lectures on the -Four
Georges" he was constant guest of
Mr.. George Ticknor, the author of a
work on Spanish literature. Though
the two men were great cronies, they
disagreed on many point.
Ticknor was small, but combative.
Thackeray lowered above him and
generally managed to have the last
word, Mr.. Healy, in his 'Reminis'
cences of a Portrait Painter, F" tells
good story Of Thackerays humorous
way of ending discussion.
The discussion had been very live
ly-it was about some point in his
tory-when Thackeray, suddenly
putting hand on each shoulder Of
his host and looking down upon him,
exclaimed:
"It would never do for two such
brol,en nosed old coves as we are to
fall out and quarrel
A general laugh ended the dispute.
Thackeray, when boy, had his nose
broken by accident, whereas Tick
nor, by freak of nature, had a
queer little pug nose that had a
broken look.-Youth's Companion.

The Noble Art of "Grainin8."

The right of ''graining' to rank
among the fine arts seems to have
been settled at the recent annual
convention at Allentown of the
Pennsylvania Association Of Master
House Painters and Decorators. Mr..
John Smethurst "read a paper" on
the subject and, with fine scorn.
showed what he thought of his ira
ducers-of John Ruskin in particu-
lar. Ruskin calls granting a sham,
he said, but "Ruskin Is a sham him.
self" why" he asked, should
we believe this man, who has never
painted panel or grained door,"
Mr.. John Smcthurst urged the boys
to go to work and earn an honest
dollar-a thing John Ruskin had
never done in his life." q am quot
ing from the official report Of the
convention in the trade organ, Paint
ing and Decorating.) But it was not
only for the author and (non-" grain
ing') artist that Mr.. John Smeth-
urst showed his contempt. Among
other things he said:
ANY fellow can be a lawyer or a
Clergyman, but it Is widely different
with anything that is worth know
ing-markedly SO with this art Of
granting. A man must have an ar
tistic, passionate nature and a love
of the beautiful. There is no short
hand method of making grainors.
"Thero is no master that ever lived
that can delineate anything more
beautiful than an oak panel. If /
were to talk all day on the beauties
of granting, / could not describe
them"
AS my readers know, this Is not
the first time that the artistic claims
of granting" have been advocated
in high places-from Pennsylvania
but never before so convincingly.
Assuredly, sooner or later, we shall
hear of the appointment of pro-
fessor of "graining' in tho state uni.
versity. Of the fitness of Mr.. Smeth-
urst to occupy the chair there can
be no reasonable doubt.-Art ANA.

Don't Write on Beech Trees.

A novel piece of evidence was in
troduced recently in a breach Of
promise case in Bavaria. The defend
ant obstinately denied the charge
aud stated that his accusor had moth
ing to show to prove her statement.
The latter, buxom village maiden,
asked one day to be permitted to
bring in her evidence. Tho court
granted her request and adjourned
until 10 o'clock. the next day. At the
appointed time she was on hand, and
upon the query Of the judge where
her evidence was she opened the
door, and four lumbermen brought
in q tree trunk upon the bark of
which her faithless adorer had in
cised both their initials within a
flaming heart! She won her CASE

Craven on Her Memory.

She had been a widow a year or so,
and she was dickering for a tomb
stone for the departed.
"Of course" said the tombstone
man, "you want the date of his death
On the shaft-the day of the month
and the year?''
"Well." sighed the widow, "Isup-
pose other people may like to read
them, but don't need such remind
ers. They are indelibly engraved on
my heart and memory"
what was the date?" asked the
tombstone man.
The widow hesitated. Then she
turned a riotous scarlet; then she
said: Gracious goodness! I can't
remember whether it was Jan. 2e or
~. I'll 60 home and find out. -

"IS IT STRANGER
When the day is slowly dying

When the day is slowly dying
And the stars begin to peep,
While the summer flowers are lying
BatAed in dew and kindly sleep,
BY my door stand and listen
For dear loved step again.
Is it strange the tears should glisten
When wait 80 long in vain2
Is it strange the sob should gather
As token of my pain?
Day by day flies by without him,
Ne'er message Of his love.
Shall !, can dare to doubt him,
Once rs true as heaven above,
Once so eager should listen?
Docs he treat me with disdain?
Is it strange the tears will glisten,
When ask myself, In win,
us he false to me, my lover?
Will he never come again."
Every hope is quenched In sadness,
Even life grows dark to me,
When y sudden tale of glatlness
Comes across the deep blue sea.
Standing in the shadow dreary,
Waiting with wild unrest,
Is it strange footstep near mo
Tells Of him that love bestH
Is it strange should be weeping
When he clasps me to his breast?

Philadeiphia Revenge.

There is a Philadelphia shopkeeper
who believes that he does public
service by keeping stock of cheap
valentines all the year round. "The
demand out of season." he says,
"for this class of valentines is from

neighbors. They know have the
valentines, and instead of using
clubs or knives on one another they
come here and get something that
answers the purpose just as well. -

Louis XVI,

Louis XVI had very heavy, red,
sensual face, with large Roman nose,
full checks and lips and a double
chin. There was no trace of more
than ordinary intellect either in his
face or conversation, the latter being
always commonplace, often dull. He
gave his contemporaries the impress
sion of a man who habitually ate and
drank more than was good for him.
