BERNHARDT AND SARDOU.
The Quarrel and Reconciliation of TIL
Drematist and Actress.

DrRmatlst ana Actress.
Speaking of Sardou and BernharGt,
the following story concerning the great
French actress and the equally renowned
playwright is vouched for by the CORE
spondent of The Courier DIES Etats- UTnis:
The two who have achieved the great
est triumph in "Gismonda," NJ Vic
torien Sardou and Nine Sarah Bern
hardt, were at swords points i'll the be-
ginning This dislike dated from Dan
iel Rochet," which Sardou gave to the
Comedic Franchise after his nomination
to the French academy. Sarah Bern
hardt expected that Sardou would select
her to create the rolo of heroine in the
play, but he chose Mile. Bertet instead;
hence the anger of Nine. Bernhardt.
When the actress and the author met,
the former passed Oh tho other side; the
latter pulled his hat down over his
eyes Each murmurcd something not at
all complimentary to the other.
Then Sarah Bernhardt left the Come
die Franchise, went to America, where
she made her first triumphal tour, and
returned to France. Upon her arrival
i'll Paris she entered into negotiations
with Raymond Deslande, manager of
the Vaudeville. She asked nothing bet
ter than to play there But what should
she play? She did not wish to return to
classical roles. She wanted an entirely
new play, which should bring out all
her qualities
''Therc is only one man who can
write the play you want" said Des-
lande THAT man is Sardou."
"SardOu!' cried the actress. "Such a
disposition, incapable of doing justice
to an artist. Moreover, irritable, brutal,
man who runs up against everybody,
who''-
every we'll, " replied Deslande, "let
us say no moro about it" He went to
sec Sardou and told him that he must
have a play for Sarah Bernhardt.
"Sarahn' exclaimed the writer
'Sarah! SuclI Il disposition Grabbed,
disaSrccablc, quarreling with every
body, who''-
Every well, very well, it is quite un-
derstood."
And three months after Sardou read
Fedora" to Sarah, who radiant, threw
herself Oh the authors neck in the pres
ence of Deslnnde.
"Ah! Deslande, " said Sardou, "what
did tell you? How gentle she isl How
sweet! How adorable!"
"And hep rejoined Bernhardt
Glow amiable he is! How he appre-
ciatos real talent, and how obliging!
Embrace me- Raymond"

CAT ELECTRICITY.

Those Who Rely on 1t For Curative Pur-
poses Can Get 1t In Other Ways.
The London Lancet says:
The electrical effect produced by rub
bling cats back is of course well
known. 1t is also we'll known that this
is FRACTIONAL electricity, or, perhaps
more correctly, the electricity of con-
tact; that it is surface effect produced
by the rubbing; that it does not point
to pra-eXisting electricity stored in the
body of the animal, and that the person
who, having concluded u massage sinks
into chair declaring that his eXhaus-
ton is consequent on the loss of "the
living galvanism which he has i'm
parted to the patient is a charlatan.
1t is to be remembered that friction
between any dissimilar substances al
ways PRODUCES electricity, and in illus
tration of this the electrical effect some
when the hair is conbed on the body
quickly Invested Of IL flannel jersey may
be instancc1. or the classic experiment
of rubbing stick Of sealing wax on a
rabbits fur may be called to mind.
Those who arc accustomed to rely on the
curative effect of stroking a cats back
may find consolation in the last named
experiment, inasmuch as it teaches them
that when their feline favorite'' is no
more health and strength may still be
secured by gentle friction on its skin.
Apart, however, from questions Of
electro physiology, it is instructive to
learn that the presence of white in the
color Of q 0at, unless the animal be
whole colorcd, is a sign Of weakness.

Whether 1t is that the board Of super

8 o'clock until o'clock, bow them to the

they hold the opinion that the county is
mot getting enough labor for money, is
q moot point.
The board, however, for some reason
or other has been considering the hours
of labor, and yesterday asked Assistant
District Attorney Holcomb to look into
the matter and advise upon it. He did
so and found the law upon the subject
very explicit. In the state constitution
of 1879, article 20, section II. it is stated
that eight hours shall constitute le-
gal days work on all public work." In
chapter 10, section 3244 of the Political
Code, the qualifications inserted, 'un-
less otherwise stipulated. but section
3245 covers the matter completely and in
detail is as follows:
Chapter 10. section 3245: Eight hours
labor constitute legal days work in
all cases where the same is performed
under the authority of any officer of this
state acting in his official capacity, or
under the direction, control, or by the
authority of any municipal corporation
within this state. y of any officer there
of acting as such: and a stipulation to
that effect must be made a part of all
contracts to which the state or any mu-
nicipal corporation therein is party"
All clerical employees of the municipal
and county governments. as well as
working men generally will be comfort
ed by knowing that eight hours consti-

Peter Johnson, a fair-haired and un-
dersized young fellow, was brought be-
fore Judge Shaw yesterday for examin-
alton as to his sanity. 1t was found that
he was not unsound in mind, and any
thing he may lack In that way seems to
be fully compensated for by the sharp
wittedness of his brother.
Peter was having good time on FRI
day night and took too much whisky
He says he had only one glass but while,
perhaps, technically accurate he didn't
say whether the glass had bottom to
it or not Be that as it may, he returned
home at about o'clock in the morning
and took the notion into his head that
he would have something 10 eat. Not
wishing to disturb the house he carried
the gasoline stove out of doors and pro-
ceeded to fry some eggs. While en-
gagged in this pastime a police officer
came along and placed Peter under ar
rest. He went along Tuning at having
to lose his late superior early break
fast-and was put in the city prison.
When Peters brother heard or Wnat
happened he swore to a complaint in
insanity, and while 1t did not serve TO
send Peter to Highland 1t did to re-
lease him from the clutches of the law
that objects to fried eggs-when served
