There is a man there who furnishes
amusement and entertainment for all

The Actress and Her Train.

The English stage has certain Gus
toms. which greatly hurt "a Frenchman
who Us not used to them. The last scene
OF every act is constantly interrupted,
and sometimes i'll the most interesting
part, by the tinkling Of a little bell,
which apprises the music to be ready to
play in the interval between the acts.
The actresses WHO perform the principal
characters drag long trains after them,
which have but four corners, like a car
pet, the breadth proportional to the i'm
portance of the character, and they are
followed by Il little boy i'll quality of a
train bearer, who is rs inseparable from
them as tho shadow from the body.
This page, who is sprucely dressed and
mufied up in Il livery made to suit his
stature within two or three inches,
keeps his eye constantly fixed upon the
train of the princess, sets it to rights
when 1T is ever SO little rufied or
disordered and is seen to run after 1t
with all his might when a violent emo
ton makes the princess hurry from ono
SIDE OF the stage to the other. This lie
does with all the phlegm and serious
ness natural to the English.
In IL play i'll the scene between
the king and the quentin the mo-
ment which is to separate them forever
the king flies into the arms of the queen,
who embraces her royal consort, and
they continue clasping each other i'll
transport, which oxcites in tho whole
audience the strongest emotions''-who
can be affected to SO high a degree as
not to take notice of the attention of
the little page to repair the disorder
which the queens train constantly re-
ceivos as she stirs and moves with i'm

DIDN'T GET WHAT SHE WANTED.
Rout of a Young Woman Who Undertook

Rout OF a Young Woman Who Undertook
to Squelch q Grocery Clerk.
Two pretty Young women entered a
large up town grocery II evening last
week. From their conversation it was
evident that they belonged to some
boarding school in the neighborhood
and hadstolen out for a few moments to
buy dainties which they meant to SNUG
gle to their rooms.
There's II thing I don't like about
the clerks in this store" said one of
them. while they waited for the sales
man, land that's the way they insist OH
telling you that you don't want what
you do want and that you do want what
you don't want. Every.time I come in
here L have the same experience, and
I'm just tired of it. The next time it
happens I'm going TO tell the clerk just
what l think of him."
AT that moment a clerk approached
and asked the young what they
wanted. The one who had so much to
complain about pointed ut one of n row
of cracker tins and said:
Il want Il pound of those"
"Oh, no, you don't" said the clerk
suavely; you want some of these, or
these here; they're all very nice"
The young woman threw a glance
which said, what did I tell you:' at
her companion, and turning to the clerk
said fiercely:
mo, 1 don't, anything of the kind. 1
want these and no others"
II beg your PARDON" he began, 81
thought
Never mind what You thought"
said the yourg woman. "Iguess 1 know
what I want. Now just let me have a
pound of those, please" And she turned
to her companion with q look of triumph
on her face which plainly meant,
Didn't 1 squelch him."
Very we'll, madam" said the clerk
humbly, "but may I ask whether they
are for YOURSELF"
well, of all the impertinent cues
tions'- began the young oma when
her companion interrupted, and, turning
to the clerk, said:
why do you ask:'
"Oh, because they're dog biscuit"
replied the clerk indifferently. "Still,
OF course, if you wan them, you can
have Them"
Never mind" faltered the young
woman who had insisted on having what
she wanted. 81 guess I don't want any
thing at ALL" and she strutted out of
the store looking very much ashamed
m followed by her companion, who
was struggling to hide her laughter.
The clerk didn't say anything, but
there was q satisfied smile on his face as
he banged the cover down on the can of
dog biscuit and walked away to wait OH
another customer.-New York SUI.

HER BARN sToRMlNe TOUR.

slary Anderson dc Navarro Recounts an
Incident of Her Early Stage Career.
Mary Anderson de Navarro looks back
with evident enjoyment upon what she
calls the transforming period of her
stage career, which, however, in her
case was short, beneficial and pecunia-
rily profitable. OF her experiences in
Greensboro, a small Kentucky town,
where she and her little band of actors
played for q week, Mrs. do Navarro
writes in The Ladies' Home Journal:
81 was q tall, slender Juliet and my
Romeo proved to be n plump, pleasant
little woman, probably the mother Of
several would be Romeos and Juliets.
The moon she (Romeo) swore by we
found to be the headlight of q railway
engine hired for the occasion. This was
held by a small negro boy perched upon
a ladder, who was SO amused by the play
that he laughed until he shook over the
most tragic scenes. His mirth, as may
be imagined, was not conducive to the
moons steadiness. AT one time she was
shining in an upper box, at another on
the head of n bald musician, often
binding the unfortnnates in the front
stalls, here, there, everywhere save on
the face of her t'Verona's lovely fower')
she had been especially hired to illumi-
nate. The conductor of the orchestra
was a carpenter by trade, and sawed
away as Justify during tho day at the
boards he was converting into profile
statues OF 'Evadne's' noble ancestors as
he sawed upon his violin at night"

General Miles.

A member Of various social organiza-
tions, General Miles yet takes much
more pleasure i'll home than i'll club life.
He has the happy art of making strong
and loyal friends. He has always enjoy
cd outdoor sports and athletic exercises
and did not miss, you may be sure, be-
ing at the Americas cup races in Sep
TENDER. He is fond of horseback riding
and appears to great advantage mount
ed, but has come to prefer the bicycle,
and i'll his daily spins on the wheel his
daughter or his son, q lad about to enter
his teens, is often his companion. He
likes to have pet animals about him, es-
p%ecially good dogs, land his pets" as
a friend once said, care the pets of the
whole family"
In manner tho general is quiet and
self controlled, but none the less affable
and courteous, and it has been remarked
that he never refuses to see anybody who
calls upon him. Perhaps it is a system
attic method i'll routine work, with %
habit of beginning as soon as possible
whatever has to be done, that gives him
this abundant leisure for visitors. The
members of his family have access to his
library i'll his working hours and never
seem to disturb him. He is free from
affectations and presents nc eccentrici-
ties or angularities with which to point
character sketch. "-George e. Pond

WHY VIZ STAND UPRIGHT.
A Especial Complex Mechanism Is Required
For the Purpose.

A Special Complex Mechanism Is Required
For the rpo
We are so accustomed to standing up
right rs. a natural attitude that few Of
rs think what a special complex mech
anism is required for this puprose. A
moments consideration will show that
h ordinary explanation of the erect
position (the center Of gravity to be di-
rectly above the feet) is insufficient.
When a man is suddenly shot, whether
from the front or behind, he drops on
his face, for the truth is that there il
much more weight in the front of the
spinal column than behind it.
n fact is that when we are standing
q large number of powerful muscles
(both front and back) are simultaneous
ly at work, the effects Of their action
being to neutralize each other. Thus,
the legs would fall forward were it not
that they are kept vertical on the feet
by the strong tendon (the "Achilles''j
at the back Of the heel. At the same
time the muscles Of the thigh arc tight
ened SO as to prevent us taking q sitting
position, and the muscles of the back
are pulled tense so that the trunk does
not stoop forward. The head is prevent
ed from dropping on the chest by tho
ligaments in the nare Of the neck.
That the upright is not its normal po-
sition is easily shown by the fact that q
man mods as he is falling asleep, for as
soon as the controlling nervous force is
deadened the head drops forward by it's
own weight, only to be pulled back into
position again with q jerk when the
brain becomes suddenly aware Of an IN
usual attitude. -Scottish-Ayaerican
