HELPING OUT THE HERO.
A Realistic Scene That Was Noe

A Realistic Scene That Was Not
Down on the Playbil2.
In the old days. when a certain Tex
as city was not exactly the charming
place it is now, was playing in "Mon-
te-Christo" to q crowded house. All
afternoon the cowboy Of his type of
the day had been coming into town for
the performance. could see him well
In evidence in the front row Of the bal
cony, his skin jacket shining and his
pistols glistening in.his belt The arch
villain was facing his fate in the final
act, and I spoke my lines, 'Your time
has come" Suddenly cowboy stood
up in the front rank in the balcony
drew his pistol and drew bead on the
villain Of the piece. "If you don't fix
him." rang out his voice, 81 will"
There be stood ready to put the threat
into execution.
Kill me quick! Kill me quick"
cried my fellow actor under bis breath,
trembling at the prospect Of a more re-
alistic end from the gentleman in the
balcony. But the joke was too good a
one for that. I prolonged the duel as
much as possible. but presently the
arch villain took his first plausible op-
portunity to expire at my feet
That's right; served him right. If
you hadn't done 1t, would~ came ap-
provingly from the voice in the bal
cony.
But that circumstance lessened my
chances to get any one to play the part
later. Actors would come to me for
an engagement in the villains role and
ask, "Are you going to play IN Texas
next year, Mr.. O'NeillT
Eyes"
"Thank you!"
That would be the end Of it, for each
would say, "Good day!'-James O'Neill

POULTRY POINTERS.

a dark comb is an indication Of a
congested state Of the system.
Land that dries quickly after a rain
is we'll adapted to poultry raising.
When one does not care to raise
chickens, it is better on the score Of
economy to keep the layers without
cocks.
See that the hens are we'll developed
and not too fat. Mate them to males
also we'll developed, and the chicks will
be all right
When the hens are too fat, reduce
them in flesh by giving them shorter
rations and give more bulky and less
fattening food.
Fowls appreciate good food as we'll
as other animals, but it is unwise to
limit them to one kind, be 1t ever so
good or wholesome.
Crude petroleum thickened to a prop
er consistency with red or brown min

selves with these little items always

Patti Made Els Reputation.

Adelina Patti was not always such a
"gold mine" to managers as some may
suppose, says LeasIe's Weekly. When
she visited New York in 1880, her man.
ager, Signor Lugo, overreached himself
by starting out on a ten dollar admis-
sion basis, and the venture was a fnan-
cial failure, Notwithstanding PATHS
great artistic success. She sang to a
fourteen hundred. dollar house on the
first night and on the second to $4OO.
She got discouraged, as it was her own
venture, and gave it up.
The late Henry E. Abbey, who was
bold in his specrlations, then engaged
her and her company at $1,000 per con-
cert. EIe began ut Wallack's old thea

TOADS IN FOLKLORE.
SIciIian Superstition Concerning tho
Ugly Little Creatures.

Ugly Little Creatures.
The toad has prominent place in
folklore. We find the ugly little crea-
ture distinguished in popular tradition,
and that in its most permanent prov
ince, in local worship and belief. The
survival is so strange in itself and so
we'll fitted to illustrate the primitive
character Of fairy mythology that 1t
may be accorded particular attention.
According to the statements Of DR..
count Of Sicilian tradition. the faith OF
that island still recognizes supernatu-
raj beings known as do1ne di fuora
Qadies from abroad, also entitled pat
ronesses Of the house. who have at
tributes in common with the fairies Of
England. Like the latter, during the
nighttime they enter houses. where
they expect to find everything in order.
Among mortals they have their favor
ties and enemies. Fortune Is consid-
cred to result from their kindness.
sickness and poverty from their perse-
cutiop.
1t is peculiar feature Of their habits
that they visit the domiclle not on any
evening indiferently. but only on

the keyhole or by cracks Of doors. If

THE TELLTALE THUMB.
It's MarEs and Lines and Its Signal
From the Brain.

It's MarEs and Lines and Its Signal
From the Brain.
A tremendous amount Of nonsense
has been written about thumb marks.
It is claimed that the curious skin con-
fguration on the bail Of the thumb is
never the same in any two people and
that it never changes. The first state
ment is correct, and the same thing can
be said Of the lines on the palm and
the creases on the bottom Of the feet.
But the assertion that the thumb marks
never change throughout life is de-
cided e1aggeration. The alteration may
come from q variety Of causes-any-
thing, in fact that will destroy the
outer layer Of skin.
Another modifying cause is the tend
ency Of the thumb to develop little
horizontal creases as one grows old.
This is especially true Of mechanics and
other working people who use tools,
and eventually the creases will break
up the lines to such an extent that 1t
is equivalent almost to a rearrange-
ment Of the pattern. Specialists In
nerve diseases by an examination or
the thumb can tell If the patient Is
affected or likely to be affected by
paralysis, as the thumb signals; this
long before it Is visible in any other
part Of the body. If the danger symp-
toms are evidenced there, an operation
is performed on what is known as the
thumb center" Of the brain. and the
disorder Is often removed.
No matter how carefully the indiVid-
ual may attempt to conceal incipient in
sanity, the thumb will reveal 1t infal-
libly. 1t is the one sure test II the
patient in his daily work permits the
thumb to stand at right angle to the
other>hngers or to fall listless into the
palm, taking no part in his writing, bis
handling Of things, his muldform du'
ties, but standing isolated and sulky, 1t
is an unanswerable confession Of men,

Former Perfumes.

Our forefathers were great people for
scents and perfumes, fragrant herbs
and spices, and the astonishing amount
Of seasoning they put with the simplest
dishes prepares one for almost any
combination. When to make a cherry
tart they found it necessary to make
sirup Of cinnamon, ginger and "sawn-
ders" and to add rosewater to the
icing. one can imagine how they set to
work to cook a cormorant. Perhaps
If we remind our readers that many
chambers were provided with drafts"
which occasionally required cleaning
and that rushes took the place Of car
pets they will realize one Of the rea-
sons for the use OF perfumes. Sweet
waters were occasionally sprinkled

rerels or on the mattresses and bed

UPSET THEIR PLANS.
The Story OF q Hurry Call For Q
New York Ambulance.

-
New York Ambulance.
A young physician tells an amusing
experience Of the days Of his ambu-
lance service. a hurry call was re-
eeired one day, and he with the am
bulance was dispatched with great
haste to tenement in one Of the poor
er parts Of the city. He climbed sew
eral flights Of stairs an(. found at the
top 4 family gathered IL, dismantled
room, surrounded by their goods and
ehattels, evidently ready to move.
The patient had been burned, the
doctor knew, but he failed to discover
signs Of one until the mother Of the
family explained that size was the vic
tim and amiably volunteered the In
formation that she was ready to 60 to
the hospital at any time. She was q
remarkably healthy accident case. and
the young physician explained that he
would have to make an examination
and learn the true nature Of her 1nju-
ries before taking her off.
She demurred somewhat wrathfully
at this, but finally uncovered one arm,
where was to be seen bad but not
serious burn Of week before. It was
not a burn requiring hospital treat
ment, and the doctor departed. q severe
tongue lashing from the would be pa
tient following him as he hurried down
the stair, glad to get of with nothing
more serious.
The woman's wrath had good cause,
be found upon inquiry. The family had
been dispossessed, and it had been de-
cided that the husband and children
should 60 for a time tc one Of his rela-
tives, while the wife would seek refuge
in the hospital. In this way they would
tide over their troubles, but the doctors
unforeseen refusal to play his part had
upset their plans seriously.--New York
Times.

Fate Wouldn't Supply Funds.

a woman left her husband a short
time ago, giving as reason for it that
she had consulted an astrologer and
been told by him that it was her des-
tiny to be great woman, but that In
marrying she had committed serious
error. AS long as she remained with
her husband she would fail to achieve
the greatness fate intended for her.
She stayed away from home only four
weeks, however.
81 see You doubt the asrologeTs In
terpretahon Of your destiny" said her
sister.
"Not In the least" replied the woman,
'but neither the asrologer or fate pro
vided the money, and as I had to give
up money or fame chose to sacrihce
the latter."-New York Press.

A True Poem.

How hard it is to tell what makes q
true poem, u lasting poem! When one
asks himself what it is, how many
things arise, how hard to narrow the
list down to few things! Is it beau
ty? Then what is beauty? One meets
with beautiful poems every day that he
never thinks Of or recurs to again. 1t
is certain that without one thing there
Is no real poety-genuine passion. The
FIRE came down out Of heaven and con-
sumed Elisha's Offering because Elisha
was sincere. Plan and build your poem
never so deity, mankind will not per-
manently care FOR it unless it has gen.
uine feeling. It must be impassioned.

Lack Of Tact.

There are many very good people,
people Of irreproachable character, who
are never liked because Of their want
Of tact They are hospitable and like to
entertain. but they ask known enemies
to Il little family dinner. They expose
oil their little household economies to
their guests They never spoil story
for relations sake" If guests are OF
different religions or politics, they in.
troduce the subjects and give most de-
cided views which do not convince and
only irritate. a lady is told that her
hat is unbecorning or q man that ne
made q bad speech. They never have
any appreciation Of the fitness Of
things.
Tact is of great Importance If one
would be agreeable or retain friends. a
man without tact can never exert q
strong influence. BE can never become
a great leader Tact is needed in every
calling in life.-PhiladelDhia Ledger.

Venetian Hospitality.

Whatever might have been said
against the venetians, they were a
hospitable people-this, too, in small as
well as in great matters. When, for
example, in 1476, an ambassador from
the khan of Tartary visited the city
and it was known that the khan and
his suit carried but one shirt apiece In
their bags, the senate formally voted
20 ducats that they might be provided
with additional shirts, which were &C.
cordingly made "alla tartarescha" and
presented. We can imagine how the
good councillors and citizens would en-
Joy this kindly little jest.

Unnecessary Suffering.

how much wretchedness and misery
there is ir. the world! Do you add to 1t
or do you try to help those with whom
you come in contact? Every time you
speak, every time you act you add to
some ones happiness or misery. On
which side do you throw your indu-
ence? Your opportunities may not be
great but do you ever cause unneces-
sary suffering in a world Wretched
enough at best? It is worth thinking
about Do you say cruel things when
you might say things that would be
kind? II you have the habit, doesn't It
sometimes occur to you that you should
quit It? The writer Of this has been
thoughtless many times, but as he
grows older he tries very hard to avoid
giving unnecessary pain. Atchison
