IRISH-AMERICAN DIALECT.
There Is No Such Thing I'm Real Life,
Says This English Au-
thOrity.

These comic philosophers mostly
live in America. There only is the
idea cultivated in literature. In Eng.
land authors write only fact or fic-
ton. But across the Atlantic there
are hosts of clever men who are not
ashamed to set down what whimsical
ideas come into their heads. We call
them, somewhat CONTEMPORARY, hui
morists; but little of their light
philosophy would be very welcome
addition to the heavy fact and fool
ish fiction which make our illustrated
magazines such serious publications.
Well, these light-hearted philosophers
nearly always write in dialect. Their
favorite dialect is the Irish-Amer-
lean, but they make much use of the
negro. Yankee and western.
The Irish-American dialect is en-
tirely a paper one; 1t is absolutely
unpronounceable, says writer in the
Gentleman's Magazine. 1t has the
usual Irish idioms, and to make them
lively, American pens have added
scores of strange words. 1t is wholly
comic, never being used for serious
writing, though perhaps, now Mr..
Dooley is fast making it classical it
may doff its holiday garb and don
more workaday clothes. It's present
resort is, however, the comic paper.
and in it a large percentage of the
jokes given to the English-speaking
world is cast. But in the case of Jokes
of the question and answer descriu-
ton, perhaps the negro dialect Is
most used. Massa Jonsing and Di-
nah have a number of funny things
to say to each other in their quaint
speech, which undoubtedly has iu-
fluenced-or, at least, been influ-
enced-by the American Irish. Both
speeches overlie the highest of spir-
its, whether quip be written in the
one or the other seems to be a mat
d, ter decided by the caprice of the mo-
ment. Both are employed to convey
from writer to reader the most inno-
cent mirth in the morld. The clean
ness of the two dialects is, indeed,
most praiseworthy, and makes their
popularity with readers on both
sides of the Atlantic matter for
copgratulation.

us, and which is equally inexhaustible
as source of instruction or of sug-
gestion. Every variety of refined and
delicate stitchery was called into
requisition to suit the fashionable
fancy, and the dandy of the period,
as NJ. Ernest Lefebure tells us, and
as examples preserved in museums
and private collections testify, used
even, when he felt he had exhausted
European resource, to send his coats
and waistcoats, ready cut, to be en-
broidered in China; so that not only
does his luxurious wardrobe remain
as an object lesson to the worker of
to-day in the needlecraft of her own
country, but sometimes introduces
her to some of the finest methods and
styles of oriental embroidery. The
specimen on which the design is
based is delightful example of Eng
lish embroidery of some century and
a half ago, preserved at the Victoria
and Albert museum, London. The
ground is a creamy white satin, and
the silks used the very finest floss;
the whole piece is, indeed, a marvel
of fineness, needle-painting of the
most delicate type. Very fine threads
of filo-noss might be used nowadays
for working it. care being taken to
select the shades together so as to
be sure that they harmonic. The
light trelliswork, for example, is in
the soft plum-bloom color, best de-
scribed by its old-fashioned name of
"puce," the dull tone OF which, even
when fresh, makes il blend so restful-
ers intersected by the trellis are in
pale silvery blue, and the little sprays
filing the spaces are crimson flow
cred, with green leaves and stems.
The quaint posy at one corner intro
duces a delightfully."- varied combina-
ton of colors. The curious flower,
with its cluster of small blossoms
surrounding tall, outstanding stamens,
is worked in blue, shading from the
palest to deep, dull indigo; the sta
mems are in light green tipped with
maize and coral tints. The poppy
shades from red to flesh pink; the
small shower spray of flowers at the
lower part of the bouquet is blue,
while the pansy-shaped blossom
above 1t shows delicate shades of pale
mauve. The foliage is in greens. fine

there is a touch of crimson in the

DOGS ON THE STAGE.
Realistic Prevention Of n HiStrionic
Murder-A Very Sensitive
Animal.

Four-legged animals in drama are, OF
course, a very common sight to-day.
Although they are often of far more
Importance than the mere super, they
have an affinity to that class, for theirs
is no speaking part, unless one counts
the bark of dog as such. A little time
ago the writer met an actor who was
taking the part of villain in a play
wherein big mastiff seizes him at the
back of the neck just as he (the villain)
was about to murder the heroine, saws
Chambers Journal. NASTY part, that
of yours. How do you manage to es-
cape nightly being bitten by that big
brute of dog?" "Not a nice part, it
is true" he answered; "but the dog is
well trained. He is kept without food
for a few hours before the show. A
piece of cooked liver is tied to my neck.
He is held in the wings till the cue
comes, then he rushes onto me for his
supper; and the curtain goes down on
very effective tableau. l don't object
to the dog; it's the liver"
AhS ihSh'ioh VI stdSe uOSS brings TO

Cured in well-known theatrical

eye at the agent and silently backed
out of the office, the dog meekly fol-

onds the man returned, quickly clos
ing the door to exclude his partner,
who clamored to get in. "I'll take it,"
he said, in hurried whisper. "Where's

ART IN EMBROIDERY.
Design for Photograph Frame
Which, II Well Executed, Is Sure
to Give Satisfaction.

The delicate quality which we'll
known writer on the subject has
aptly defined as finesse in embroidery
is characteristic, when worked of this
charming design. The inspiration WAS
one of the exquisitely worked waist
coats which, during the latter half
of the eighteenth century, were dear
to the heart of the man of fashion,
and equally satisfactory to the en-
broideress of the day as affording
scope for her skill. Succeeding gen.

be grateful for the storehouse of
treasures which this pleasing mode

Mr.. Kenneth is genial and we'll

This failing of his on occasion reduces
his wife to the state of evaporation

they are married to trained detectives
or the exceptional man who is too good

1t is a standing joke at the Kenneth

topic as a subject to enliven any in
