The Real Thing.

When Dion Boucicault was playing
'"The Vampire" at the Princess theater
in London some time ago he gave a
great deal of attention to the opening
scene, which represented an Alpine land
scape with distant thunderstorm. The
thunder was produced as usual and some
remarkably fine moonlight effects were
introduced. One night when the season
was at it's heighth, q tremendous clap of
thunder startled the audience and inter-
rupted Mr.: Boucicault in the middle of a
speech. Lowering his voice SO that he
could be heard only by the property man.
he said: :, $3.50, =. = -
.'Mr. Davies, you are making more mis-
takes. That thunder came in the wrong
place." So 80 Il :
Mr.. Davis replied in tones which could
be plainly heard all over the auditorium:

thunder. Thunder's real out Of doors ;
perhaps you can stop it there. = - New

AN EMERGENCY CLOSET.
-
Some Things Which Bath Room Ad,
junct Should Contain.

The, supply of the bathroom closet is
no less important than. is that Of the
kitchen. Besides it's hot water bags, big
and little, ammonia, witch hazel and the
like, there should be aromatic spirits of
ammonia, collodion, lime water and sweet
oil, per cent. solution Of carbolic acid,
a box Of absorbent cotton and a roll Of
bandages. With these things ready for
use, an accident such as burn, a cut
and pain will be spared the victim.
The 1 per cent. solution Of carbolic is
useful in all cases ,of injury because of
it's cleansing qualities. II a cut is to be
treated, the wound should first be thor
oughly cleansed in clear water, rinsed
carefully in the carbolic solution and then
painted with collodion, The collodion
stops the bleeding and serves as var
nish to prevent dirt from entering.
A mixture Of lime water and sweet oil,
the proportions for which are understood
by all druggists, is the best Of remedies
for q burn. II applied at once it will
take out the fire. and in most cases will
prevent blistering. Bicarbonate Of soda,
too, if sprinkled on burn as soon as it
is received will prevent pain and blister.
Some people claim that butter is to be
preferred to all other remedies for this
purpose, and others cover the place with
flour to exclude the air. tZzsts5,3 s.

THE RATTLE IN THE BIN.

You may talk of your cOncert0s /
And sOnat0s and all that;
You may rave Of Paderewsk1
And the hair beneath his hat;
lou may boast OF Melba' s warble:-
:. But they really can't begin
To make music with the rattle
OF the hard coal in the bin.
The world is full Of singing,
And it ever throbs and huns,
But how quickly l forget it
When the creaking coal cart comes.
Oh, 1t cheers my dropping spirits
When I see the chute 80 in.
And know I'll hear the rattle
OF the hard coal in the bin.
There are those who dote on Wagner,
There are those who Verdi praise;
There are those who care for neither,
But prefer the ragtime lays.
But q melody far dearei
Doth my fancy quickly win,
IT'S the swift and vibrant rattle
OF the hard coal in the bin.

The troubles of the business man with
a pretty stenographer and a suspicious
wife are as nothing compared with those
of the married artist who paints from
living models. In some of the studio
buildings here it is the regular thing
for wives to sit around the studios doing
fancy work while the husband transfers
to the canvas the sinuous curves of a
shapely model. Others assist in posing
the subject, arranging the draperies and
making themselves otherwise usefully in
convenient. Some of the bachelor art
lists, on the other hand, employ chaper-
ones, not for tho model, but for them
selves. A large part of the artists pat
ronage is made up of women who sit for
bust portraits in evening dress. Proba-
bly, half of them present some striking
imperfection to the artists eye, and the
model is brought into requisition to sup

els of the '"Trilby" type. The successful
artist who can afford to regularly employ

Letter from e. II. Hartman to Presi-
dent Mcneil of the International
Brotherhood Of Boiler Makers On
the Subject-Series of Accidents

f. II. Hartman has assured John
Mcneil. president of the International
Brotherhood of Boiler Makers and
Iron Ship Builders. that no more South
ern Pacific locomotives will be sent
to the Union Pacific while the strike
lasts on the latter road. says the ON
aha Bee. This is the context of the let
ter received by Mr.. Mcneil from Mr..
Hartman in answer to one sen by the
boiler makers president advising the
head of the Southern and Union Pa
cifc roads that if the former persist
ed in reinforcing the Union PacifiC's
motive power under existing conditions
Mcneil would call out every Southern
Pacific boiler maker on a strike
A copy of the Hartman letter has
been forwarded by President Mcneil
at Kansas City to the boiler makers
here. The terms of this letter confirm
the local strikers view that Hartman
is not favorable to a ~prolongation of the
lockout.
Eight new locomotives have been re
ceived by the Union Pacific from the
Baldwin Locomotive works, and Presi-
dent Nc Neil found to his satisfaction
that these were made for the Southern
Pacific. but had been sen to help the
Union Pacific out of its dilemma. The
protest vas then made to Hartman.
In his letter Hartman says he vas not
aware that Southern Pacific engines
had beer sent to the Union Pacific and
that if such were the Ease it must stop
for. in the first place. the business of
the Southern would not permit it He
advised President Mcneil that his let
ter had been turned over to the road
superintendent with his instructions.
The strikers feel that they have gain
ed a great concession in this. as the
motive power is the vital point.
