AMONG THE PLAYERS

Venice and Corsica are the locations in
which the plot and action of the London
and New York success, "A Runaway
Girl" take place. No doubt these places
were selected by the author so as TO al
ford the opportunity to consistently eN-
hibit some handsome and picturesque
costumes which are worn by the male ana
female characters in the play. Corsican
brigands, Venetian gondohers and Hover
girls. peasants and soldiers. dancing girls
and strolling musicians-these are all
seen in the play and each and all Of them
are dressed in the rich and picturesque
dresses that are appropriate to their re-
spective characters. This feature lends
a brilliant and pretty effect to the pro-
duction. which will be seen in the Opera
House on Monday night

PedestrIanlsm in oer@any.

A German friend Of mino Che is some
what of humorist) was bantering me
about the notorious aversion Of Ameri-
eans to walking. and he remarked tlat
he had heard il said that the average
American did not walk more than a mile
a day OF course 1 resented this gross
libel, and asserted that the average
American thought nothing Of starting
out for walk of five miles. / cited
with good dead Of pride the habitual
practice of Julian Hawthorne Of taking
4 mere stroll Of twenty or thirty miles
whenever he has few moments 70 de-
vote to exercise. spoke too, Of your
townsman, Mr. Slason Thompson, editor
Of The America, who is in the habit Of
walking ten miles day and running fif-
teen or twenty more.
Ny friend thereupon became personal,
and ventured to intimate that / could
not walk five miles. OF course / accept
ed the challenge implied, and, peacefully
doddering imbecile that was, actually

humorous friend) that a German mile
was equal to four and half English
miles, and that in order TO accomplish
the feat had undertaken should have
to cover twenty-five and half miles

VEGETABLES.
Why Are Some Vulgar nndf othek -
Aristocrnticf


Aristocrnticf
Why do we respect' some vegetables
and despise Others? The bean, is
graceful, conhdlng, engaging wire. but
you never can put beans into poetry or
into the highest kind of prose. ; Thepc
is no dignity in the bean.
Corn-which in my garden grows
alongside the beam and, so far as can
see, with no affectation Of superiorn y
is. however, the child Of song. It
waves in all literature. But mix IL with
beans, and its high tone IS gone Sue
cotash IS vulgar; 1t is the bean in g.
The bean is a vulgar vegetable, with
out culture or any flavor of high socie-
ty among vegetables.
Then there is the cucumber, like so
many people. good for nothing when L
Is ripe. and the wlldness has gone out
of It. How inferior to the melon. which
,grows upon a similar vinel The Gu
cumber is a sort Of low comedian In p
Cd mpany where the melon is a minor
gen tleman.
Tlie lettuce is TO me a most interest
ing study. Lettuce is like conversation:
it must be fresh and crisp. so sparkling
that you scarcely notice the bitter in Il.
Lettuce, like most takers. though, is
apt to run rapidly TO seed.
Blessed is that sort which comes to
4 head. anil so remains-like few peo-
pie l lxnoNy-growing more solid and
satisfactory and tender and whittier AT
DIE center.
Lettuce. like conversation. requires a
60 cd deal of oil. to avoid friction and
keep the company smooth; n pinch pi
Attic salt. a dash Of pepper. mustg rd
and vinegar. but so mixed that yor
will notice no sharpiconuasts, aud q
I trlfle Of sugar
feel that I am in the best Society
when I am with lettuce. 1t is in tn,
most select vegetable circle.-tyharlei

slrcnnth In AlnminInm.

In reply TO the question which, it is
said. metal workers frequently ask,
''What is the strength of aluminium
The Aluminium World says that cast
aluminium is about equal In strength
to cast iron IN tension. while ia resist.
ing compression It is .comparatiyely
weak. Under transverse strain alu'
minium is not very rigid, but it will
bend nearly double before breaking
The tensile strength OF aluminium is
greatly improved by forging and press
ing at a temperature Of COO degrees F..
and aluminium alloyed with nickel Is
much stronger than the pure metal.

where M. cnrtls Learned 10 wrIte.

Where Mr.. Curtis Learned 20 Write.
Whatever my style Of writing may be.
it is the result Of natural selection and
not of special design. The first author
who interested me deeply after robin
son Crusoe' and the usual children's
books of fifty or sixty years ago was
Washington Irving Then came Walter
Scott and Charles Lamb. Keats, Shelley
and Wordsworth, then Bacon and Emer-
son, Burke and Carlyle. Thackeray and
Hawthorne. But rhetoric or compost
ton I have never studied. Ny long con
nection with the press has been of the
utmost service TO me as a writer. For
many years have been the chief editor.
ial writer upon Harper's Weekly, a
paper which takes part in political dis
cussion, and the necessity of making my
self ineligible to the rapid reader in a
comparatively short space has been prob
ably the best training could have had.
Fortunately l have no taste for what
seems to me the frequent extravaganza
of newspaper writing, and therefore
have easily avoided it. Every young
writer should remember that bigness is
not greatness, nor fury force. --Cieorgl

stowawny Brides.

Stowaway brides are not as rare at
the barge office rs one would believe.
1t is quite easy for a girl to slip aboard
an outgoing steamer and stow herself
in one of the hunks below decks, lying
quietly there until well at sea. A case
happened a little while ago, the girl
coming to meet her fianee here. As
both were poor. the former resorted to
this perilous expedient to accomplish
the desired end. One would think
that such a heroic endeavOr would de-
serve a better reception. But on arriv-
ing, having been worked very hard on
shipboard for passage, worn and wor-
ried almost to distraction, the maiden
was so changed by her ordeal Of love
that when her betrothed met her he
refused TO marry her. A few days
later, while being taken back to the
ship for deportation. she leaped into
the bay. Rescued gallantly, she linger-
ed a prisoner in the charity hospital.
but died some weeks later, literally Of
a broken heart-Ainslee's Magazine.
