The Real Things.

~ TAGE realism continues to make
~ progress. Robert Louis Steven
~ son tells of painter who, desir-
ing to represent the sea shore, pasted
into his picture actual sands of the sea.
There is play running in New York
called 1.-THE Man in the Moon" and the
other night one of the actresses, taking
the part of starving factory girl,
raised her right hand and exclaimed
bitterly: my heaven! Where shall
ever get another meal?" The manager
of the company was shocked to see that
the raised hand had upon it what he
estimated to be $1,000 worth of dia-
monds. Whereupon in a fine state of
indignation he went to his office and
the greenroom: Beginning with this
date all members Of The Man in the
Moon company shall refrain from
wearing rings or other jewelry upon
the stage A violation of this rule will
subject the offender to instant dis
missal." --...
Apparently this is step in the direc-
ton of reform, but there is another
side to the question. 1t seems that the
diamonds on the actress hand were of
the paste variety. Instead of being
worth 5000 their actual value was
about $4,000 less than that. 1t is con-
tended that there would be nothing in
congruous in a starving factory girl
wearing a dollars worth of paste dia-
monds. If she tried ito hook them the
chances are the pawnbroker would de-
cline to enter into any negotiations for
material of so little value; so that the
starving factory girl would still be jus
titled in raising to heaven her right
hand, paste diamonds and all, and cry
ing: My heaven! Where shall ever
get another meal?"
On thesassumption that all stage. dia-
mohds, paste and genuine, look alike to
the audience the manager undeniably
has some strong arguments in his ia
vor. But if realism Is what he is after
he might dismiss the actress and sub
stitute in her place starving factory
| girl in the flesh. 1t ought not to be
difficult to find such a creature in the
cotton mills Of New England. AS for
| that matter, he could pick up any fac
| tory girl and starve her afterwards At
tention to detail, you see, is everything
One night last winter the stage mana
| ger of a theatrical company came to
| the Standard Office in a state of deep
! anxiety. One scene in the play was laid
| in Boston and one of the characters in
| it read the morning paper. A copy of
| the Boston Herald had done service
| clear across the continent, but unfor-
| tunately in unpacking somebody got
hold of it who didn't know its value as
a stage accessory and used it to wipe
| the mud off his boots. For any paper
| but real Boston paper to be used in
the scene was out of the question
| somebody with an opera glass would be
sure to detect the imposition and the H.
| fusion would be dispelled The Stand
ard gladly accommodated the manager
with two fresh copies of the Boston
Herald-one to be held in reserve in
case of another accident-and the per-
formance went on, the audience never
| knowing how near 1t came to runninp
up against horrible solecism

and shippers along the river. Mr..
Liemke says:
They have been asked for no cash,
but l have given each subscriber a
ticket stating the amount of his pledge.
When the money is needed | will col
lect it and when the line is started l
will give the subscribers discounts on
their freight bills for the amount of
their subscriptions, Though the new
boats will not be completed for some
months l will have boats for temper
airy use and will open the line in the

faster and better boats and punctual
service, with the freight and passenger
business separated, the levees of the
great river will once more resound to
the rumbling of dray wheels, the crack
of the Transfers whips, the blasts of
the steamboat whistles, the cries of the
overseer and the song of the darby
roustabouts.

PROSPECTIVE OF PASSENGER AND EXPRESS STEAMER.


They have supinely permitted the rail-
roads to take their business away from
them. There are thousands today who
would travel and ship their freight by
river if they were assured of accOmmo-
dations even nearly approaching those
furnished by the railroads. The steam
ers l mean to operate will be unlike
any that have ever run on the Missis-
sippi. In point Of speed they will be
far in advance of the river steamer of
today. At present a boat which makes
twelve miles an hour upstream is con-
sidered q very fast craft and there are
few such on the river. The new boats
will travel at the rate Of from fifteen to
eighteen miles an hour upstream and
from twenty-five TO tWcnty-fOur miles
an hour downstream. Each boat will
be steel hulled, with a length of 300
feet and so feet beam. Their draught
will be 80 inches light and SO inches
loaded. This will enable them to run
even when the water Is at its lowest
stage. Their holds will be furnished
with alright compartments, like those
of ocean steamers, rendering them
practically unsuitable. 1t is estimated
that the cost of each passenger steam
err will be $780, 900, and | have ten
times that amount pledged by mer-
chants in every river town from St.PauI
to New Orleans, including many promi-
nent St. Louisans.
"The saving OF time will not be en-
tire1y due to the speed of the boats.
Forty naphtha tenders will be operated
in connection with the line, to obviata
the necessity of making landings to
take on passengers and freight. These
tenders will patrol the river, collecting.
freight, express matter and passengers
and will meet the steamer in mid
stream. There will be a short ston
when passengers are taken on. Freight
and express matter can be taken on
while the boats are running at fun
speed, the result being a great saving
of time. The tenders are being built
at Madison, Ind, and the upper struc-
lures and machinery at Jeffersonville,
Ind. The strong feature of the line will
be that a steamer will leave st. Louis
every day and there will he no disap-
pointments. Where it now takes eve
days to make the run from st. Louis
to New Orleans, the new steamers will
cover the distance in two and one>SaIf
days, and make the round trip in less
than a week. The trip to st. Paul,
which now consumes four days, will
be made in thirty-eight hours"
The fnanciering of the new line is 2
novel feature Of the enterprise. There
will be no stock company. The boats
will be built entirely by subscription,
the money being pledged by merchants

1t may sound like a dream, but an
other year may witness a revival of the
good old days, when the great Missis-
sippi teemed with life and when fleet
palatial steamers piled it's broad
waters in regular and profitable trips
between all the important points from
st. Paul to New Orleans. To do this
n to regain for traffic on the father
OF waters its long-lost splendor a mag
nlticent fleet of passenger and freight
steamers is to be built for service be-
tween the two points named. In ele-
gance of equipment the passenger
steamers will rival the famous old
Robert E. Lee or the Natchez, and will
completely Guido them in speed, writes
a Quincy, Ill, correspondent. 1t
may be that with the recovery of this
traffic in its commercial aspect. there
may come an occasional revival of
racing" and the present generation
may have al opportunity to see the
"nigger squat on the safety valve"
H. H. Liemke of St. Louis. an old
river man, who, in years of experience
on the Mississippi, has learned steam
boating from cabin-boy up, is at the
head of the enterprise, and also the in
ventor of the new style of steelboats
which are to travel the river from it's
source to its mouth. He has labored
on this project for several years, until
today he has people all along the river
interested in his plans. Mr.. Liemke's
plans are more feasible than any that
have eve been advanced and he has
received sufficient encouragement from
shippers all along the river to insure
the construction of a fleet of steamers.
such as are shown in the illustrations.
Mr.. Liemke makes the statement that
the steamers will be SO equipped that
they will be formidable competitors of
the railroads, which now parallel the
river on both banks. In discussing his
project recently Mr.. Liemke said:
81 have already placed with Harland
& H~ollingsworth of Wilmington, Del,
the order for the first of a fleet of seven
boats and will shortly go east to make
arrangements for the building of the
other six. I believe that river men
have themselves been mainly respon-
sible for the decline of the river trade.

DOMESTIC HINTS.

Very old people shorten in stature
as they increase in years.
Eight hours sleep will prevent more
ervous arrangements in women than
any medicine can cure.
Use soapy water in making starch;
the clothes will look more glossy, and
the iron will be less likely to stick.
Don't use a napkin as if it were a
big cloth; one end is ~all-suficient for
the wiping Of the mouth. Don't play
with fork, salt spoon or with any ar
ticles within reach.
The teeth of the people were found
to be healthier and less liable to decay
in districts where the drinking water
was hard than where it was soft. The
harder the water the better the teeth.
When there is an inclination to grow
stout fruit should be eaten for break
fast. Baked apples are a most excel
lent thing to take, and toast should
be always eaten instead of bread. Cake
of all kinds should be carefully avoid
ed.
TO treat bunions place some large
ivy leaves in half a cupful of ordinary
vinegar, and after soaking some
hours, put one leaf carefully over the
bunions. Change once or twice D day,
always using a leaf fresh out of the
vinegar. This is also said to be good
for corns. Another remedy is to paint
the bunion once a day with iodine.
The banister is a part of the house
woodwork that requires frequent at
tention. This rail should first be WHIP
ed off with a cloth wrung from luke
warm soapsuds and wiped dry. Mix
two parts of linseed oil with one part
of %turpentine; apply this to the rail-
ing by putting a little on a flannel and
rubbing the wood; then polish it with
a fresh flannel.
