ACTORS SOCIAL POSITION.
Moliere Was Considered an Outcast-Re-

MOliere Was Considered an Outcast-Re-
fused Spiritual Consolation.
The time was in France when the actor
had no social position and certainly no
spiritual one. Special dispensation
was necessary when the Catholic
church allowed mass to be said for the
repose of an actors soul. Prof. War
rem, describing the Moliere period,
writes:
1.-THE social position of an actor in
Moliere's time was low one. Not
from any prejudice against the stage,
evidently, since the dramatists like
Corneille and Scarron were on the same
footing at the Hotel de Rambouillet and
other salons of Paris as poets and es-
sayists and were elected TO the French
Academy as readily. Indeed, it would
seem as though the, composition OF
plays was the shortest road to distinc-
ton in the Paris of Moliere, as it is to-
day.
'But with the actors it was another
question. Their wandering. unset
tied modes of life had evidently told
against them. They were not admit
ted to society whether their conduct
was good or bad. They were not even
considered in the light of literary per-
sons. Moliere met his friends, Boileau.
La Fontane. Furetiere at public cafes.
AS writer of comedy he was either not
taken seriously or had incurred too
much hostility on the part of influential
sets. the clergy through 'Tartuffe. the
salons through Les Femmes Savantes.
As an actor he was considered an out
cast with his class, and when on his
deathbed he asked for spiritual con-
ISOLATION his appeal fell on deaf ears I'M
til it was too late. SO that it was WIN
the greatest difficulty that his widow
procured bit of consecrated ground
in which to lay the remains OF the un-
shrived comedian. "-Chautauquan.

A STANDING INVITATION.

Women suffering from any form of fe-
male weakness are invited to promptly
communicate with Mrs. Pinkham at
Lynn, Mass. All letters are received,
opened, read and answered by women
only. A woman can freely talk of her
private illness to a woman; thus has
been establish the eternal confidence
between Mrs. Pinkham and the women
of America which has never been
broken. Out of the vast volume of
experience which she has to draw from
it is more than possible that she has
gained the very knowledge that will
help your case. She asks nothing in
return except your good will, and her
advice has relieved thousands. Surely,
any woman, rich or poor, is very fool
ish if she does not take advantage OK
this generous offer of assistance.

Vege1anIe Oyster SOUP.

Scrape all the outer skin and small
rootlets from vegetable oysters, and
lay them in pan OF cold water to pre-
vent dscoloration. the scraping can
he done much easier if the roots are

AN APPLE CAUSED 1T ALL.

Train of Mishaps Resulting from an At
tempt to Gather Choice Pippin.
From Glenville Corners comes tale
of woe with an apple on top of it. One
Sunday morning while walking about
his farm John Schneider espied a tempt
ing morsel at the top of his apple tree,
and straightway went about procuring
it, to his own misfortune and grief.
1t so did happen that John was at
tired in his choicest raiment, and while
climbing the tree his neither garment
was destroyed. Undaunted, however,
he reached for the apple. Something
broke and he fell. Immediately be-
meath the tree the festive honey bee
made honey, and the farmer involun-
tarily found himself deposited upon
beehive. Thereupon the bees set them
selves upon the unfortunate for period
and, then yet unrevenged for the de-
struction of their home, made war
against the family horse, grazing near
by. The horse rushed to the house
wife for protection and invaded her
kitchen.
Mrs. Schneider was cooking the mid
day meal. The stove was overturned.
and in preventing a confiagration she
narrowly escaped being burned.
Schneider hurried to her rescue and was
kicked in the pit of the stomach by the
once docile horse, which then set itself
about demolishing the contents of the
whole house, but was frustrated in his
designs by the narrowness of the doors.
Mrs. Schneider then turned upon the
horse. She rushed at him with
broom. Instead of hitting the horse
the broom came in contact with
clock, which was thrown from its shelf
and practically demolished.
The horse ran out of its own accord,
and in Che yard met the family COW.
The COW received kick in the side, and,
terrified, ran at the pet dog and tossed
him into the air. She repeated the per-
Torrance until the dog was dead, when
she started down the road scattering all
who were out for Sunday walk.
And over all the apple innocently
hung, and still hangs.-Cleveland Re-

ness May Be Dull.
Although for the past few months,
factories have shut down on account of
lack of work, and the business situa-
ton in general has been poor, the issu-
ing of marriage licenses at the regis
trar's office in the city hall continues,
and according to the present outlook
The wear 1896 will be great wedding
record breaker.
The young people have gone right on
marrying this fall, lack of situations
and lack of funds cutting no figure
whatever. 1t is an old rule among those
who watch marriage statistics that
when times are hard weddings increase.
Why is this so? Some declare tnat
pinching times lead the young working
men to argue that money spent III
boarding houses is thrown away, and
that two can practice economy better
than one. Others declare that when
times are hard, the manageable girls
of financially mbarrassed fathers
throw themselves at the young men,
and with COY and winsome ways lead the
breadwinners to propose matrimony.
f,ut. whatever the cause, marriages
are on the increase this fall. Septem-
hers licenses were 20 In excess of the
number for that month last year, and
for the month of October the license
clerk has been. kept pretty busy.

A production of gold throughout
the world equal to the aggregate
production OF gold and silver prior
to 1878, is the estimate of the of.
ficials OF the mint bureau for the
year 1896. The gold production of
the world has been climbing steadily
since 1890, when it stood at $11S,-
S7S.700. The figures of 1892 we're
STAG, S15, 100; of 1898, $1572S7,-
5000; and of 1894, $3.50 626.1OO.
The figures for 1895 have not been
fully verified by Mint Director Pres
ton, but a production of $203,000.-
600 is considered a conservative esti-
mate. The production of 1896
is of course, still a matter of
calculation, but the increase over
1895 reported from nearly every
country are regarded as a safe basis
for putting the production of the
year at not less than 100000, 900.
rhe United States is expected to
show an increase, this year, from
SAT COCOON 1895 to $4,000, 900.
This is regarded as the lowest prob
able production, and $54 100000 is
considered a not improbable figure.
This will keep the United States at
the head of gold producing countries.
She attained this position, last year,
! and crowded Australia and Africa
from the first and second places
which they occupied in 1894.

A SONG OF LOVE.

The earth below, and the heaven above:
Let us live, my dear; let us live and love;
We know not all that the bloc skies mean,
But the beautiful lilies Toll and lean;
And here Is the sunshine, and meadows green,
And rivers with silvery ripples between
The earth below and the heaven above:
Let us live, my dear; let us live and lovel
The earth below, and the heaven above:
Let us live. my dear, for breath of love-
We know not the meaning of stars and skies
We only see heaven in Loves glad eyes;
We give him our sorrow-our songs and our
signs,
And a red rose is born Tor each red rose that
dies
Oh. the earth below, and the heaven above!
Let us live, my dear; letius live and love!
Let us live, my dear, in the lonely lands,
For a kiss, a tear and a clasp of hands,
For whatever blessings a soul may miss,
There is nothing in heaven as sweet as this
Loves kiss Loves lingering, first sweet kiss
With the earth below and the heaven above!
And lite, my dear that is lived for love

Railroad Statistics.

The annual report of the interstate
commerce commission shows that in
the year ending July 1 there were
1911 railroad employees and ITO
passengers killed, and in the same
time there were %, 696 employees and
1916 passengers injured. One en-
ploye was killed for each 433 en-
ployed, and one injured for each 81
employed. Of employees known as
trainmen-that is, engineer, firemen,
conductors and brakemen-one was
killed for each 155 in service and one
injured for each IL in service. Not.
withstanding these fearful records,
comparisons show that the commits
sion is not laughing at death when
it finds encouragement in these fig,
ures. The number of passengers
killed is comparatively small, the de-
crease for the ear being ITO, and the
total for the year being almost 100
less than in any year since 1890.
The commission has other meth
DDS of figuring which rpassure the
travelling public. For example, the
number of passengers carried for
each passenger killed was 2,97S,S32,
and the number carried for each pas
senger injured was 213,651. The H.
ability of passengers to accidents is
also shown to be slight when it is
considered that 1896, 743 passen-
ger miles were traversed for every
passenger killed, and 5,131, 977 miles
for every one injured.

SURE To Whit may not be gen
orally known that two towns in this
great country are favored with a sur
felt of presidential candidates. Lin
coin, Neb., has two men who are can
didates for the highest office in the
gift of the American people, while
Patterson, N. j., has two who are
running for vice President. The Lin
coin contingent includes William j.
Bryan and Charles E. Bentley, who is
running upon the New National
ticket, whatever that may Indicate.
The Patterson representatives are
Garrett A. Hobart and Alderman
Matthew Mcclure, who is the candi-
date for Vice President on the Social
istic Labor ticket. While the Jersey.
ties are not so ambitious as the Ne
braskans, they will come out of the
COP test in better shape, for they will
succeed with one of their citizens,
while the others will not.
