Lady China Dealers,

which ladies are invading callings
hitherto monopolized by men, Chris

Pearson's Weekly. ..;s..1
AS some Of the best authorities on
china have always been found among
the fair sex, what more natural than
that ladies, on whom the present agri-
cultural depression in land has weigh
ed too heavily, should seek to turn
their knowledge to profitable account
by a little buying and selling? Ac-.
cordingly, the lady dealer has now
blossomed into existence, and appar-
emily has come to stay. Armed with

for many scions of ancient families in
reduced circumstances. Moving in
the best of society, they find many op-
portunlties for persuading hard-work-
ing celebrities-who would never
dream OF going to professional pho
tographer to sitting. Even if the
victim be inclined to demur, the knowl-
edge, or say, rather the suspicion, that
he is doing his impecunious friend a
good turn would be likely to cause him
to relent. The work Of the amateur
photographer is not, Of course, distin-
guished By high excellence, but, on
the other hand, the pose of their sit
ters- is generally much more uncon-
strained, and the expression more nat
ural than the wooden smile that so
often dis1gures the features of great
folk when taken professionally. The
amateur they know, and the knowledge
that they are doing somebody a good
turn helps the picture wonderfully.

A Freak of Nature.

The county of Herefordshire, Eng.
land, possesses remarkable freak of
nature-two trees have joined together
about ten feet from the ground by
what appears to be single branch. "A
closer examination shows however.
that the connection has been formed
by branches growing from both trees;
these two branches having met, and
in the course of time, grown together.
It is probable that these twin trees are
unique in England; at any rate, from
the manner in which the curiosity has
been grown they must be very rare.

Single Flowers In Decoration.

Flowers trailing singly over the
cloth is one form of decoration in more
or less use at special functions. Host
esses find frequently, however, that the
roses and other blossoms do not last
through long meal, and every one
knows that trailing faded flowers are
not an attractive sight. To obviate
this, florist says that if,a bit of moss
Is dipped in water and then shaken
nearly free of it, the cut end of the
rose may be wrapped in this, and tied
on with bit of sewing silk, and this
will keep the flowers fresh. It is easy
to conceal such treatment by bending
a leaf over the end.

OENMARK'S THEATER JUBILEE.

Made In Copenhagen.

The Interesting Exhibit That Is to Be
Made In Copenhagen.
One, of the principal incidents of
the jubilee in Copenhagen this year
will be the exhibition devoted to the
history Of the National theater there,
an institution that has played a not
able part in the literary history of
Denmark. On Dec. 1S, next, its 150th
birthday will be celebrated, and the ex-
hibition will present souvenirs Of
every stage of it's history, as well as of
the most popular actors who have been
associated with it in times past. No
other feature Of the celebration has
been attended to with greater care
or sympathy than the preparations for
the honor to be paid to this theater, of
which the country is so proud. The
methods and progress of the theater
In Denmark from the time that Hol-
berg founded a national theater there
about 200 years ago will be depicted in
this exhibition. The first theater that
he established will be shown, and II
smaller theaters that succeeded his
will be seen, with the improvements
IN every one. The last example will
be. model of the present National
theater, showing the complete elec-
trio equipment and the final technical
completeness Of the institution as it
was used in recent spectacle pre-
sented there. Some of the more per-
sonal "reminiscences of the theater are
found in the pictures and BELONGINGS
of the famous artists associated with
it, such as Dupui, the French actor.
conductor and composer, on whose ac-
count the Grown Princess Charlotte
was divorced, and man described at
the time as ''the darling of women
and the ideal of men," The Jewels
and other objects presented to
Johanna Heiberg, at one time the
greatest of Danish actresses, are also
to be exhibited, along with COM
plete reproduction Of the study of
Adam Oehlenschlaeger, just as it was
when he wrote the works with which
his fame is chiefly associated. Hans
Christian Andersen comes in for his
share of honor in this exhibition de-
voted to survey of the history of the
theater in Denmark.

Plckled Eggs.

Picked eggs are appetizing when
used as an ingredient Of salads or sand
wiches for midsummer service. They
are put into cold water, which is heat

hour. When taken out they are drop
ped at once into cold water to keep
their color; the shells are afterward
removed and the eggs put into good

in this pickle, when they are ready for
service as relish. A dozen or more
can be done at time.

The big tear stood in her downcast eye,
And with sighs I heard her say,
THE gathered rose and the stolen heart
Can charm but for day."
Oh, well I knew what had dimmed her
eye,
And made her cheek so pale:
The maid had forgotten her early song,
While she listened to Loves soft tale:
She had tasted the sweets of his poison
ed cup,
It had wasted her life away
And the stolen heart, like the gathered
rose,
Had charmed but for a dav. -.

sHAKEsPEARE.s CHURCH.
Some Interesting Relics Found During

some Interesting Relies Found During
M Work Of Restoration.
An unusual amount Of public inter-
est is just now being shown in the
restoration work at Holy Trinity
Church, Stratford-on-Avon. Workmen
are engaged in taking up the floor Of
the nave, side aisles and transepts, pre-
paratory to the laying down OF new
block floors and pavements. Having
to excavate some depth for the purpose
Of filing in with concrete and cement,>
some curious old vaults, quaint cpl
taphs and tombs are being disclosed,
and are being treated with the greatest
care. A portion of the present church
dates back nearly 700 years, and all
authorities agree that upon the same
site stood a much older church OF the
Saxon period. As place Of sepulcher
the site has no doubt been in use for
l,OOO years. The floors Of the nave,
and particularly the transepts, are
honeycombed with vaults, and it will
be necessary to lower the crown of the
arch of many so as to excavate to the
proper depth. AS interments inside
churches are not now permitted, all the
vaults will most likely be filled in.
They are not being entered, but in the
course Of the work coff1ns, mostly Of
lead, are seen, and skulls and bones
are being turned up occasionally.
These are treated with the utmost rev.
erence and will be reinterred in the
churchyard. A group of vaults in the
south transept has been exposed. They
contain the bodies of the Mason fam
lily, the interments dating from 1859.
The family Is now extinct, but old
Stratfordians tell of remarkable, yet
horrible, act Of self-destruction COM
mitted by one of the Mason family
sixty or seventy years ago. Going into
a hovel In the paddock at the back of
the house, he put together a great
quantity Of straw, and, lying down on
top of it, he set the heap on fire and
was literally roasted alive. Quaint
inscriptions are being brought to light
in removing the wooden floors that
covered the old stone paving Of the
transepts, and it is satisfactory to
know that all will be carefully pre-
served and shown in the random
pavement" which will border the pews.

cups Of boiling water. Let it boil well,

that it scarcely resists the fork, add
one-half Of a cup of vinegar, boil until
done, and take out. Chop the liver and

TrOubadours. 7

The genuine Southern darkey is rarely
seen in the North, and then only as a
starched and liveried servant in some
great family's palatiA home. The
happy-go-lucky, shiftless, merry hearted
Alabama coon in his native cotton field
is a type of character peculiar to the
sunny South. Those who have never
seen him in his home surroundings
should see j. w. Gordon's Alabama
Troubadours. This organization which
will be at Barre opera house on Thurs
day and Friday, September p and %,
is composed entirely of simon-pure,
cotton-state darkies, just as they were
taken from their cabins in Dixie land.
Their representation of life "befo' de
wah" is an exact reproduction of the
diversions of slavery days, Introducing
jubilee singers, camp meeting shouters,
buck and wing dancers, banjoists, quar-
tets of colored boys and girls, and a
grand cake walk, which alone is worth
the price of admission.

reception is now in progress, and orders
are received from all over the country

arrival in New York, September %.
The state Legislative committee, of which
perfected all arrangements for the Dewey
reception.
Mr.. George T. Parker has returned
from Washington. where he had been
in consultation with the navy and other
officials. The indications now are that
from an artistic standpoint the state pro-
gram will be equal, IF not superior. to
any souvenir program of like nature ever
published The official design adopted
by the committee is an Illuminated cover
illustrating the life of Admiral Dewey
from his entrance to the Naval Academy

if".lke and realistic The vivid picture
of The ..Man Behind the Guns is but "A
fitting tribute to the gallant men who
fought with Dewey on that memorable

Troubadours.

There is one thing that can be said in
favor of j W. Gorman'S Alabama
Troubadours that is true of no other
organization, and that is that the per-
formers enter heart and soul into the
spirit and enjoyment of the entertain
mcnt. The reason for this lies in the
fact that they are not going through Il
wearying imitation dstasteful to them
selves, bat are simply rollicking through
their own pastimes endeared to them and
their fathers before them in slavery days
on the3 old plantation, All the charac-
teristic diversions of the Southern darkey
are faithfully depleted, just as praclced
in the cotton fields at home, and grand
prize cake walk is given at each per.
formance, in which the darkcy boys and
girls are as deeply interested as the
audience themselves. The Troubadours
will appear at Barre opera house on
Thursday and Friday, Sept. q and p
