Henry Z. Abbey appears to have fol-
lowed in the footsteps of other operatic
managers by leaYing practically no es-
tate at his death. This was the fate of
Ullman, Maurice Strakosch, Max
StrakOsch, Jacob Grau, and others who
were famous in the opera field, and the
fact seems to testify. chiefly to the i'm
mense risks these men are induced to
assume. Public favor is difficult to fix
and additionally tickle and yet the
managers of opera are forced to apply
an absolute measure to that variable
quantity months in advance with the
probability of a score of events inter-
vening to affect the accuracy of their
Judgment. 1t happens, therefore, that
certain favorites at European capitals
will meet all the expectations of the
managers and earn immense profits,
while the next Importation will fail and
eat up the former rewards and thou
sands besides. 1t is at best a game of
char"e for big stakes with the final
issue in doubt often for weeks or
months, and an inscrutable power, the
public, the determining factor.

years, and until this strange thing hap
pened to me l was as careless regard
Ing electricity as everyone comes to be
who sees it flashing about them every,
day. You know in a telegraph office
whenever there is thunderstorm we
have brilliant electrical display about
the switchboard. The lightning darts
at us, just like a snake. It seems 20
be about ready to spring upon you, and
yet can only go a certain distance Ev-.
cry day when I reach the office the.
first thing do is to call up the main
office at Boston and ask them If they
have any business for me to look after.
That Is what l did on that morning
when 1t all happened to me. Well,
Boston said it had nothing and, as a
storm was brewing, I shut off the cur
rent, so that 1 believed there couldn't
any electricity come in on us and burn
out a wire. This done, I sat down to
read paper, when all at once every
thing grew black and lost conscious
ness. The next thing remember was
realizing that something had happened,
what / did not know. Then my senses
grew clearer and / knew that I must
have been shocked by lightning. 1 be-
gan to realize that / still had life and
feeling, and can remember calling out:
oh, my arm Is burned! My arm is
burned l looked at the sleeve of my
shirt waist and then 1t came to me.
The pattern Of the material was of
strawberry leaves, and it was straw
berry leaf that the lightning had pho
tographed on my arm. I have asked
a great many people to explain this to
me, but 1 have never found anybody
yet who could tell why my arm was
burned and not my waist. / don't be-
lieve anybody can tell."-New York

Recent dispatches contained an ac-
count of the real beginning made In
New York City toward the providing of
healthier and cheaper tenement houses.
The movement is in charge of the City
and Suburban Homes Company which
numbers among its members some of
New York's richest men. It's aim is to
slowly but surely supplant good por
ton of the tenements in that city with
buildings of modern construction, of
perfect sanitary conditions and fur
nished with every appliance which will
add to the comfort of the tenants.
These apartments are to be let to rent
ers at as low sum as will insure
reasonable return to the investors. The
ground of whole city block has been
purchased and such set of buildings
will be erected Immediately. Four
houses each 100 feet square will be put
up. They will surround a court thirty
feet square. The buildings will be fire
proof and each one will be divided into
four compartments by unpierced fire
walls running from cellar to roof Ven
tilatOrS and other sanitary arrange
mentS will be as perfect as is possible.
The smallest bedroom will be almost
twice the size of the average tenement
sleeping apartment and the smallest
living-roOm will contain at least IA
square feet Besides heating and light
ing arrangements there will be private
bathrooms and general laundry-room
and steam drying-room in addition to
stationary washtubs in each set of
apartments. The company having this
scheme in charge has a capital of
million dollars, and with such stock
holders as d. o. Mills, Cornelius Van
derbilt, John D. Crimmins, the Selig-
mans, Iselins and Cuttings there is no
fear, if the first experiment proves sue
cessful, that unlimited money will not
be forthcoming to extend the work in
definitely. The president of the COM
pany is Professor e. r. T.. Gould. of
Johns Hopkins University, and he has
demonstrated that benevolence can be
made one of the best investments in the
world, even if it is not listed on the
stock exchange.

VARIETY in Eating.

While it is true that variety is the
spice Of life," the best judgment of care
full students is In the line of simplicity
In the matter of food. Have an ede-
quate supply, have it thoroughly and
intelligently cooked, but let it be plain,
simple, digestible In this direction a
Western health journal pertinently, if
not very elegantly, remarks: Never
have a great variety at one meal, but
make the variety from one meal to the
next. Did you ever stop TO think what
conglomerate mass your stomach con-
tanned after eating a great variety at
one meal? If not, just imagine all you
have eaten and drank mixed up in one
bowl, and then ask yourself the ques-
ton whether it is any wonder that peo-
pie have dyspepsia"

The One-Horse Farmer.

The following account Of the mis-
takes of a one-horse farmer may be
slightly exaggerated, but many of them
will sound familiar. There are lots Of
just such farmers as Is described in the
following:
The one-horse farmer has a longing
ambition to gain reputation for wear
ing dirty shirt.
He will alarm the neighborhood by
getting up two hours before day, then
sit around and not go to work until 8
o'clock.
He will ride around week looking
for a So hog.
He will complain Of hard times and
tear his pants climbing a fence where
a gate ought to be.
He will pay So for new bride, then
let the calf chew it up before Sunday.
He will get all his neighbors to help
in getting a COW out of the bog, then
let her die for want of attention.
Stock will get in and destroy his corn
at place in the fence that he has been
putting off for six months.
He will strain his back lifting some
thing to show how strong he is.
He talks all day Sunday on what he
knows about farming, then rides
around the neighborhood Monday hunt
ing seed potatoes.
He will go in his shirt sleeves on
cold day to show how much he can
stand, then return home at night and
occupy two-thirds of the fireplace until
bedtime.
He will ridicule the mechanism Of
cotton planter and then go out and
smash his thumb mailing a board on a
fence.
He will go down town on Saturday
and come back with so cents worth Of
coffee, paper Of pins, 81 worth of
chewing tobacco and his hide full of
whisky.
He Is economical; economy is his
forte; he will save 10 cents worth OF
axle grease and ruin the spindle Of a
$40 wagon.
He won't subscribe for a newspaper,
but will borrow one from his friend
and forget to return it.-Dallas, Texas,
Mercury.

Wanted a Clock and a Timepiec

II want something handsome in the

"We have a very fine line of goods,
was the response, "and the prices are
very moderate"
Il don't care anything about the price.
1 want something that will show at q
glance that it cost lot OF money"
Certainly. We have some beautiful
imported goods"
That's the idea; something that CAME
from abroad. l want an onyx pedestal
and ormula trimming and a statue On
the top of it"
Here's a veritable work of art"
That's pretty well; but I'd like some
thing more attractive than that. It's
to be a birthday present to my wife. We
haven't been keeping house very long,
and she's been worried for fear people
would think we were going without a
clock because we couldn't afford one.

so handsome that it'll dazzle everybody

article from a shelf
That's the very thing. That'll plea Sc
her almost to death. Pack it up ald
ship it out to my house and send the hill
to my office"
It'll cost $125," the jeweler mildly
suggested.
That's all right. 1t looks as if 1t
were worth it."
He started foF the door, but came
back and said: "By the way, you'd bet
ter give me another clock-one of those
small nickel-plated affairs that cost
about dollar and half, so that we can
stick it off in an obscure corner to look
at when we want to know what time it
is."-Washington Evening Star.

One Reason for Great Distress.

James Clay, the distinguished whist
player who figures In Guy Livingston"
under the name of Castlemaine, once
had for partner in the game a man
who led a singleton from a hand con-
tanning five trumps, and Castlemainei
fell into the common error Of leading
trumps to defend an imaginary suit
Although It was not his fault, the poor
partner Of the great man felt himself
called upon to look sorry, and remarked
that the result had been unfortunate.
Castlemaine looked thoughtfully at the
ceiling. "It Is computed" he said, "that
there are upward Of two thousand Eng
lishmen Of good family, and born to
brilliant prospects, who are now wan
dering shoeless about the continent be-
cause they would not lead trumps, hay
ing five."

! Gen. Blewett, who died a few weeks
ago in Lowndes County, Miss, figured
In a strange duel in 1856, with Col.
Peter b. Starke, whom he seriously
wounded. There was a circumstance
in his difficulty with Gen. Blewett, says
the Vicksburg Commercial, that caused
Col. Starke to determine to receive his
fire without returning it. He kept this
to himself, however, merely scribbling
his intention on a scrap of paper and
handing it to his second as he took his
place and his pistol. Standing to the
mark he took his antagonists bullet
without flinching. 1t shattered his
wrist, his arm hanging by his side, and
being crippled the remainder of his life.

The Capture of an Orchid.

Among the flowers of tropical lands
none are more priced for their beauti-
full and curious forms and fragrant
scent than the orchids, which grow in
all sorts of odd places, but mostly Oh
the ground, or perched high up among
the branches Of the trees.
The orchids Of the Guiana forests
provide a home for the black ants
"free, gratis and for nothing"
Why? Because they prey upon the
cocGroaches, which would otherwise
destroy the plant by eating up its juici-
est portions.
So that when a human orchid-hunter
tries to capture plant, he has to reck-
on with thousands Of tiny foes that
fight to the very last.
After the plant has been dislodged
from the tree-no easy task-lt is usu-
al to attach it to long bamboo pole
and throw 1t into the river, unril the
ants are thoroughly washed out of IT,
And all the time the boat has to be
kept up stream and the pole carefully
watched lest the ants come aboard.
By-and-by the insects confess them
selves beaten, and the orchid-seeker
retires with his dearly won prize

Poor old MapleSon! His season in
this country was hardly under way be-
fore his financial troubles began. Re
membering his past triumphs in the
United States, he thought to recoup his
fortunes by a farewell tour in this cou1-
try. but misfortune has overtaken him.
1t was the old Story-non-payment of
salaries and the orchestra on a strike.
The English impresario has brought
many a tuneful singer to delight the
music lovers of this country in the past,
but in his most successful day he was
ever harassed by creditors, and none
but himself was ever sure that a per-
formance once begun would ever be
finished as was intended. How many
times has the suave and fiorid colonel
appeared entr' acte before the foot
lights and explained to the audience
that "Owing to a sudden indiSposition
Nine This or Signor That would be
unable to continue the role," but that
with "the kind indulgence of the audi
ence," Soandso would essay the part
when everyone knew that the ''indiS-
position" was really caused by lack
of salary? Many's the time the COM
pany waited in the train ready to start
while the colonel sat trying to prove to
the passenger agent that the business
at the next town would enable him to
pay the fares some time in the future.
And he was usually successful. That
plausibility of speech saved him on
scores of occasions. MaplesOn is near
" the last of the old school Of impresa-
rios, the nineteenth century representa-
tive of Elliston, Sheridan, GOldoni and
the others who made rich so many
"stars," but who, themselves, amassed
but little riches.

Among the spectators at the Shar-
key-FitZSimmons mill were several
hundred women. They were not dis
guised either, and took their seats as
openly as if they were men. 1t is even
said in the reports that some of these
battle-loving females were of good So
cial position, though that is more than
doubtful. 1t was an indecent, abhor-
rent sight, and it must not be allowed
to constitute precedent. Every wOm-
an who sat in that hall was a mission
ary working to return her sex to bar
barism, an enemy of whatever has
operated to evolve the woman from
the squaw.
