London or Kashmir.

A man who had travelled much, see
ing many lands and varied peoples,
confessed that he had never felt the
delight Of satisfied curiosity in such
fullness as on the day when he first
walked into London. mere youth, and
stood amid the crowd and shops Of
Regent street. A born wanderer by ma
ture and possessed Of the means to
crafty his desires. his fancy had fixed
ON Kashmir, out Of many places full
Of wonder and romance. as q land
where he should find truest enjoyment.
To foster this idea he avoided all books
that affected to treat of Kashmir and
refused to believe that anybody had ever
been there. In his imagination he saw
1t as a region Of lowery valleys, soft
watered meads, peaceful vistas and per-
petual sunshine.
He duly reached Kashmir. and he
has long since returned, a thing he once
thought might never happen. Of Kash-
mir he speaks reasonably and with
calm appreciation. but ask him to tell
again Of how he first came to London,
and in answering his voice takes tone
Of enthusiasm and mystery. He refuses
to sully the recollection by analysis or
dim 1t by any later disenchantment. He
was young then, and it was London. -

All those divine creatures, those her.
Dimes Of Shakespeare, were acted in his
day, and for some time afterward, by
youths and young men. May we not
fancy that this hard condition was a
sorrow to Shakespeare. who, of all men.
must most keenly have felt how much
better his godlike women could have
been realized by actresses? Il must have
been hard for boys to turn their mascu-
line natures to favor and to prettiness
when they had to enact women-and
such womenl Shakespeare must have
longed to see the boards trodden by the
light foot Of woman, with her incom-
parable grace and witchery and feeling.
What manner of youth could be found,
even in Elizabeth's time, worthily to
personate the divinity Of womanhood?
We know next to nothing of these boy
women actors, but demand creates a
supply, and they may have been more
satisfactory than we can we'll imagine.
They must have been handsome--deli-
cately handsome. --Gentleman's Maya

A aentlsmanly profes.ion.

A city man was lately asked to recon-
mend nice, gentlemanly profession in
which quick fortune could be made
without risk. he replied that he knew
Of only two such professions, and they
were both rather hard to get into They
were the professions of Kaffir million
aire and American railroad reorganizer.
The Kaffir millionaire is not entirely
unknown to our readers, but perhaps
they are not so we'll acquainted with the
railroad reorganizer. His native habitat
Is New York. and he is only to be seen
In London as a bird Of passage He may
honor us with his company for few
days when ON his way to the Riviera or
the upper Nile, but he would be making
himself too cheap If he were to recog-
nize such thing as business when he
"had only run over for short holiday. .
His work here is done vicariously
through sympathetic agents or public
spirited committees He has also COM
mittees in New York, and nowadays he
finds 1t necessary to have syndicates and
underwriters as we'll

that these committees have been elected
