A NOVEL LONDON CLUB.
1t Is For the Special benefit Of Women
Of the Ballet.

New York has a diversity of clubs
relating to the profession of the thea
ter, but IL has nothing so novel ano
needful practical as new organiza-
ton I'm London called the Rehearsal
club. says the Dramatic Mirror.
This new club is in effect a charity,
although its conduct seems to be such
as 10 rob IL OF the features of bare
charity that might hinder its greatest
usefulness. The Princess Christian Is
its president. and its patronesses are
the marchioness of Salisbury, wife Of
the prime minister; the duchess of
Rutland, the marchioness of Grandy,
and Lady Gray. The duchess OF Teck
was its first president
The Rehearsal club was started
through the efforts of Lady Louisa
Magenis, who discovered that the
women of the ballet. most of whom
attended rehearsals from long dis
tances, had no place for rest and shell
ter In the intervals between rehearsals
and performances. The time at their
permit of return to their homes; and
even if II were, the cost of the jour
ney was an all-important considera-
ton. They could do nothing but stay
out of doors, exposed to all the vagar-
les and inclemencies Of London wealth
er, until they were due again at the
theater. Thus, with the assistance Of
influential persons, the club was form
ed, several prominent actresses lend
ing ii countenance, and II has commo-
dious and comfortable quarters.
The club has cheerful sitting room
with living flowers and pictures and
books, conveniences for writing, and
current newspapers and periodicals,
but its dining room is the most popu-
lar feature. Here tea or cocoa is fur
nished at a halfpenny, and chops,
steaks and other articles of food may
be had at amazingly low prices. The
members are asked To subscribe a fee
of 30 cents for three months although
no fee is required for rehearsal periods
and deficiencies are made up by the
generous friends of the institution.

Newest Smuggling Tricks.

Paris authorities are just now very
much exercised over the increase in
frauds upon the municipal customs,
commonly known as the octroi, the
duties or toll levied upon certain artl-
cles brought through the city gates.
NJ. Camille Simon says one of the queS-
tons to come before the municipal
council will be some effective method
Of reducing such frauds.
"AIany of the delegates called to take
part in this debate, however, con-
tinues NJ. Simon, "are ignorant OF the
fact that in a garnet of one of the an
nexes of the Hotel de Vile there is a
museum of most interesting curiosities

Yellow-Back Novelist.

OF the two queerest drugs In the
world the one called "ezcar' is the one
most to be avoided 1t is a South
American product, and made by the
tropical Indians there.
A grain of it will make you feel the
need of violent eXertion, and once you
begin there is no stopping You walk
till you die. Moreover, you do not walk
straight ahead but in little circle of
two or three yards diameter. You
tramp wildly and steadily on, seeing
nothing, and not suffering actual pain,
but with all your nerves on fire and
your brain spinning. You do not stop
walking till you drop dead In your
tracks. The extreme vitality is kept
up till the last moment. Some of the
Indians have a way OF dosing their
captives with this drug, sitting round
the victim while he walks.
The other drug is a European pro-
duct called wizard" and also acts on
the brain. A common result of this
drug when taken in any quantity is
to cause an insane cesire-in an edu.
Gated man, at any rate-to do sums. II
develops the arithmetical powers to a
wonderful extent, though only for a
short time. The victims chief desire
is to get hold Of pencil and paper, and
once this is done he scribbles figures,
sometimes making attempts at adding
them up, but never getting them right
Presently the figures become mere
scrawls, and the usual result is death
or insanity. It is well known TO men
of science. and is used in some kinds
OF medicine by homeopathists.
