made to me, but IN his joy he had for
gotten it. Children are SO selfish In
their happiness. This one dealt me the
blow with laugh. He told me they
had first thought of me for the part,
but / was too mature, too marked-ah!
there is enough in such a disappoint-
ment as that to mark one, indeed! 1
am sure that in five minutes twenty
years passed over my head, If the boy
had uttered a word Of regret or tender
ness, L should simply have said to him:
DO not play that part, you will Kill
mel and / am sure he would not, be-
| cause with it all the child loves me.
But pride held me back. We talked Of
| the part; he asked my advice about 1t;
it had been lying ON my table FOR two
months, SO now we read it together. L
gave him my conception o. how 1t
ought to be played. From time 20 time
he would break completely away from
me and study a line out for himself,
and with surety Of insight into the
tastes of the public which l no longer
made where saw none at all. Posi-
lively, one would have TO undergo ID
himself to know what suffered during
that interview; but it was all as moth
ing to the martyrdom l have endured
this evening.
'Oh. 1 ought not to have come. but
I could not stay away. / was ire
sistibly drawn by curiosity and per-
haps-I am ashamed to say it-by the
secret hope of surprising among the
braves regret, a remembrance for me;
of hearing some one in the audience
say: 'Ohl if the elder Bloucourt were
playing that" But no; l have heard
nothing, no word; they have had al
they can do to applaud. But really, the
boy does not act well, he is actually
bad; certainly thought they were GO
ing TO his funeral when they came on.
He can't even walk well, he has no idea
of stage department. In all that great,
thoughtful, complex part, has he made
single original effect? No, he has
simply thrown himself headlong into
it with all the heedlessness of youth.
Impetuosity is made to do duty for tai
ent. For instance, in the great scene
with Kitty, when Chatterton-" and
here the poor man began to illustrate
to me IN detail his sons defects, imita-
ting his intonations and his gestures.

That evening Bloucourt, the son, was
to make his first appearance on the
stage in ''Chatterton. The piece
which, though not forgotten, had
dropped out of sight and for some years
had filed @ narrower sphere in the
quiet appreciation of home reading,
now excited on its hrst night almost
the interest that great novelty might.
Those who were familiar with it with
out having seen it played, were curious
to assist at its Interpretation, a process
in which certain beauties of work, es-
pecially the most subtle points, disap-
pear, are scattered, yolatilized, as one
may say, in the heat of the footlights,
while others burst unexpectedly into
view through the medium of voice and
gesture.
Those who had been present at form
er performances of the piece were hap
py to bring back again two hours of
their youth, and to glow once more
with the warmth of their first artistic
emotion. In e word, the old play, re-
appearing as it did in the midst of the
commonplace trivialities of the day, re-
iuvenated the whole audience and
aroused it to enthusiasm.
It must be admitted that it would be
impossible to conceive of more perfect
Chatterton than young Bloucourt made.
Son and grandson of comedians, the
youth had the blood of true artist in
his veins, and he was evidently bent on
proving it to us that evening. In the
tunult and excitement of the applause,
in the midst of the hundreds of pairs of
eyes and hands that were exclusively
concerning themselves with the stage,

FARM AND GARDEN.
GOOD FOR EVERYBODY.
The Employment of Convict Labor in the
Building of Roads.

h Employment of Convict Labor in the
Building of Roads.
Two subjects have been occupying
public attention quite largely recent
~. They may be considered by some
as closely related. At all events North
Carolina and several other states have
managed to unite them in u way that
has led to the solution of the prob
lens involved in both. One of these
questions is that of good country
roads. 1t has been occupying public
attention from Maine to California,
and with n voice the people have
declared in favor of securing such
roads at almost any cost. The reign
of the bicycle is here, and that of the
horseless carriage is believed to be
coming, but good roads are an abso-
lutte necessity to the maintenance of
both.
The other question referred to is
that of convict labor. State legis-
l~atures, in the great majority of cases.
yielding to the public clamor, have
declared in no equivocal way that the
product of the penitentiaries must not
be placed in the market to compete
with free labor, nOr can it be used as
an instrument wherewith to beat
down the wages of the Industrious and
law-abiding workman.
How to observe these laws and yet
prevent the penal institutions of the
country from becoming a drain on the
resources of the taxpayers is something
prison authorities everywhere have
been trying to find out. Some states
have hit upon the plan of making the
convicts provide what is universally
wanted in the way of good roads, thus
keeping them profitably employed
without taking the bread out of the
months of any who are dependent upon
their days labor for their ~sustenance.
A bulletin has been issued by the de-
partment of agriculture telling of re-
cent experiments made in the employ
ment of convict labor in road building
in the states indicated. North Carolina,
New York. Delaware and California
have all tried the plan and all report
it to be a success. In North Carolina
the cost of maintaining the ~cOnvicts
while thus employed has been "a cents
for each convict per diem, while their
labor has been worth from so to -
cents a day. The general health of
the convicts has improved since they
were first employed on the roads. The
warden of the state prison at Auburn,
\. Y, heartily indOrses the plan and
estimates the cost of road making with
convict labor at $500 a mile. In Cali
fornia the execution of the plan has
been found to be good for the convicts,
good for the roads and good for any
body who has occasion to use them

E
Grape Is More in Use Now Than 1t Was
Last Season.

Last Season.
Fashion governs the habiliment of
woe as well as the butterfly raiment
of pleasure, and one is no less subject
to change than the other. To dress
unobtrusively and in good taste is the
| desire of all who wear mourning, and
in order to do this one must keep pace
with the changes of fashion.
The monial of English mourning
is so prescribed and so thoroughly I'M
derstOod that an order sent to one
of LondOn's leading mourning
houses can be flied to the letter.
Mourning for a grandmother, a
brother-in-law, n cousin, once, thrice
removed, have laws and agreements so
fixed that only a telegram, with meas
urements is needed to insure the order
being carried out in that strict spirit
of decorum that belongs to good form.
The laws governing mourning are
not so strict in America as in England,
nor is the custom so general, but there
are with every season some especial
| points that it is necessary to know in
! order to be dressed in good taste.
The most marked difference between
the mourning of this season and last is
the increased use Of rape. 1t would
seem that the prevailing fashion for
the black gown, for all purposes,
makes the use OF Grape imperative as a
distinction for those in mourning.
More dissatisfaction comes from the
improper use of Grape than from the
.-..-saI ;+.,1f pa-. ,-nlf h. -,+4:,-
a good quality-an inferior one is not
worth making up. Grape sells from
seventv-five cents to fifteen dollars per
yard. but for the average wearer an
excellent quality may be had for five
/ dollars.
Grape folds are handsomer when
! double than if lined with c~rinollne.
When Grape is used no other trimming
is required, though dull jet is permits
sable.
The small Grape bonnet should be
low, close fitting, and above all-be-
coming. 1t has been facetiousIy said
that widows bonnets have been re-
sponsible for more second marriages
than any other article OF feminine
dress. However true this may be, no
woman wants to wear a homely, I'M
becoming one, no matter how recent
the bereavement.
The correct veil is long and draped
| gracefully back. The strings may be
of grenadine or black faiIle ribbon
knotted soberly under the chin. For
an elderly widow Il ruche and strings
of white Grape lisse are sometimes
| added. - Chicago Saturday Evening
! Herald.
