GERMAN BARK IRON DUKE is LOST
Captain of a British Ship Brings News
OF Her Almost Certain Destruction.

San Francisco, Dec. 2.-Captain Lewis OF
the British ship Senator, now in port,
brings word of the almost certain destruc-
ton of the German bark Iron Duke, about
which there has been so much anxious
inquiry. On September the Senator
spoke the Iron Duke in latitude SO degrees
south of longitude 65 degrees west. On
September 16 the Senator encountered
hurricane which swept away her rigging
and almost disabled her. When the Iron
Duke was seen again she was badly dis
abled, and her hull so low in the sea that
great waves broke over her. The cap
tain of the Senator believes that the Iron
Duke undoubtedly went to the bottom in
the gale.

How TO Clean Wall Paper.

Take off the dust with soft cloth.
With little flour and water make a
lump of very stiff dough, and rub the
wall gently downward, taking the
length of the arm at each stroke, and
in this way go round the room. AS
the dough becomes dirty, cut the soil
ed part off. In the second round COM
mence the stroke little above where
the last ended, and be very careful not
to cross the paper or to go up again.
Ordinary papers cleaned in this way
will look fresh and bright, and almost
as good as new. Some papers, however
and these most expensive ones-will
not clean nicely; and, in order to as
certain whether paper can be clean
ed, it is best to try it in some obscure
corner, which will not be noticed if
the result is unsatisfactory. II there
be any broken places in the wall, fill
them up with a mixture of equal parts
of plaster-of-paris and silver-sand,
made into O. paste, with little water;
then cover the place with a little
piece of paper like the rest, if it can
be had,

A standard medical authority says
that the first thing to do for the child
is to put his feet into as hot mustard
water as he can bear, and be sure that
the room is very warm. If possible,
put him into a hot bath, and then
quickly drying him, put him in bed
between blankets. Even before put
ting him in bed give him sirup Of
ipecac in teaspoonful doses until he
vomits Fer external applications
take two tablespoonfuls of turpentine
and four tablespoonfuls of goose oil,
or sweet oil, or lard oil, mix well, and
rub thoroughly on the outside of the
throat Saturate a flannel and lay it
over the chest and throat. Hot bricks
or bottles filled with hot water, should
be placed at the child's feet and at the
sides of his body to induce perspira-
tion. Keep him carefully covered
After vomiting, the bowels must be
kept open with syrup OF squills. The
best drink for the child is slippery elm
water Give plenty of nourishment to
keep up the strength.

quite severely ridiculed in the papers.
With these pictures in my hand and
these histories on my tongue | have called
on Lillian Russell, Della Fox, Sibyl Sander
son, Ada Rehan and a number of "bloomer'
bicycle girls of lesser or no renown.
Lillian Russell voiced the sentiments Of
the actresses when she said that she had
never felt the slightest timidity in appear
ing in male costume. Miss Sanderson re-
ferred to 'The Clemenceau Case" and, of
course, after that talking Of breeches or
trousers to her would have been-well, a
waste Of time
And the nervousness of the bicycle girl,
as well. leaves her as soon as she mounts
her steely steed. Few of them, however,
have yet overcome the embarrassment of
walking before crowds when it becomes
necessary to push their chargers over rough
places or up hill. They are more nervous
walking from crowd than toward it.
There were no scruples against male garb
about the actress, Mrs. Jordan, whose pic
ture is given as Hypolta in "She Would or
She Would Not" Her fancy ran to roles re-
qulring it, and many of her best characters
were breeches parts, including Viola and
Rosalind
Mrs. A. Martyr, whose portrait is given
as Aura in Johnsons comedy, "The Coun-
try Lasses," won distinction in several
masculinely-apparelled characters, especially
in that Of the Page in the "Follies of the

Something of Dreams.

Ariel could put a grdle round about the
world in forty minutes. but he was slow
compared with the most ordinary dream.
Many stories are told showing the different
count of time. Lord Brougham relates that
he dreamed dream of long continued ac-
ton during a short doze while a droning
counsel was pleading before him. Lord
Holland fell asleep while listening to some
one reading, dreamed a long dream, and
awoke in time to hear the conclusion of a
sentence the first words of which were in
his ears when he became unconscious. DR..
Abercombie relates that geLtlema drea med
that he had enlisted for a soldier, Joined his
regiment, deserted, had been apprehended,
carried back. tried, condemned to be shot.
and at last led out for execution. After all
the usual preparations he awoke with the re-
port, and found that noise in an adjoining
room had both produced the dream and
awakened him. Another dreamed that he
had crossed the Atlantic and spent fort
night in America. In embarking, on his
return, he fell into the sea. and. having
woke with the fright, he found that he had
not been asleep ten minutes

N short time. and the managers, soon
patched up their dispute, but not before
they had expended much money, time and
temper over a talentless actress who looked
1vely in breeches.
OF quito another character is Miss Maria
Nacklin. She seems to have been partial
to characters in which she had to wear male
garb, and strangely enough her death was
caused in some measure by her dressing
Of these parts. She was in the habit Of
buckling her knee breeches very tightly,
and this caused an Inflammation in the leg.
The result was the formation of serious
growth, which had ultimately to be removed
by very painful operation. This shat
tered her health; she had to retire from
the stage and she died at a comparatively
early age. Her portrait is of Camille in
'The Mistake"
Mrs. Siddons, the greatest Of English
actresses, declined to exhibit herself on
the stage in a more masculine costume
than she could help The occasion was her
playing of Rosalind, which she acted for
her benefit in 1875. Desirous of concealing
her person. she had a costume especially
designed for the "doublet-andh hose" scenes,
but the result was not satisfactory Miss
Seward, who especially mentions the mat
ter, says with a height of fine language
which it would be heartless not to quote
accurately that "the scrupulous prudery

dire against women In pants" decreases
1t has been a long time since woman first
appeared in public in breeches, and natu-
rally 1t was on the stage. I have recently
received some pictures from London of old
time actresses who we're the first to make
successes in male costume, as well as some
running comments made by contemporary
writer's.
There are two classes of parts in which
on the stage the sex which now aspires to
nationals" has always been cheerfully per-
mitted to wear the breeks." The first Of
these classes is of course. the characters
in which the heroine disgulses herself in
male attire. the typical instance being "Ro-
salind." The second is the class of parts
which, though male, has yet been, by pre-.
scriptive right. played by most comedy ac-
tresses, who considered that their personal
beauty was shown in becoming fashion by
male costume.
An English writer speaking of Mrs. Wolf
ington says: "The character Sir Henry Will
dair in ''The Constant Couple" was origin
ally played by the famous comedian. Rob-
ert Wllks, who made in that character a
great reputation both for himself and the
play. So highly did the author, Farquhar,
think of Wilks' playing that he said in the
preface to the published play that when
Wilk5 left the stage Sir Harry would go to
the jubilee. But he was wrong, for though
no man ever made the same success as
Wilks in the character Mrs Wellington
equalled, IL not surpassed the original Sir
Harry, and made the part one which sue
ceeding actresses were eager to try"
Sylvia, the heroine Of another of Far
quhar's plays, "The Recruiting Officer" Is a
character which comes in the first category,
for she assumes male costume as a dis
guise. Mrs. Lessingham, according to the
account, was a very incompetent actress,
but through the favors Of Mr.. Harris, one
of the proprietors of Covent Garden and not
unlike favorites Of to-day, she was put for
ward in characters to which her ability by
