An Actors Economx.

John s. Flaherty, manager of the
Majestic theater, in New York, was
walking along Broadway with a the
atrical friend, when the latter's atten-
ton was attracted by q fine meer-
schaum pipe in show window. After
admiring it for time the actor sug-
gested that they go inside and ask
the price.
How much for that carved pipe in
the Window he asked.
"Only fifty dollars said the clerk.
"It's beauty, and is the genuine ar
ticle. Shall 1 show 1t to your"
"But he did not show the pipe"
said Flaherty, in relating the Incl
dent, "for the actor was out of the
door and strolling down the street.
When overlook him heard him say
to himself: Two weeks alimony for a
piper Well, 1 guess notP"

Her mother had significantly left
them together in the conservatory.
The moment had come to make her I'M
derstand how much he loved her. He
had been in similar situation once or
twice before, under the ancient regime,
but then it was comparatively easy.
Now, under a code of etiquette found
ed chiefly on the latest fashion in bac-
terra, he felt his position embarrass-
ing. A kiss had long been considered
a criminal proceeding on purely hy-
gienic grounds. Impassioned speech
was but the setting free of millions OF
microscopic prisoners DESTROYS of a
change of lung. He must not even
press her little hand, we'll knowing
what malignant host science had
placed within its few rounded square
inches-not to mention those that Turk

Standing at safe hygienic distance,
therefore, he stretched out his arms to-
ward her, longingly, like an amor

sing of course. That had long since
been forbidden, as putting more mi
crobes in circulation than even i'm
FASHIONED speech. He did not speak,
feeling that the level, more or less
sterilized conversation, which alone,
science still permitted to be sparingly
used, would be out Of place on this
occasion But he gazed upon her So
ardently that the few thousand bacilli
temporarily resident among her eye
lashes were seriously Inconvenience
by the rising temperature.
| She smiled and shook her head
gently. Everything was done gently
now by persons with the slightest pre-
tense of civilization, in order to avoid
; disturbing the cfrcumambient legions
of the enemy. But while he admired
her discretion he doubted her mean
ing. Was it "No" Or that she did
not understand? On that he was go
ing the wrong way to work? Or that
she deemed herself unworthy? He
carefully sat down at his end Of tho
conservatory and thought it out.
Then she frowned-frowned so un-
mistakably that he shuddered to think
how many hundred thousand germs,
happy tenants of the arches of her
brows, would be discharged by SO
alarming a dislocation of their dwell
ing. AS, however, he still remained
motionless her behavior became even
more foolhardy and unscientific. With
primitive impulsiveness calculated
to dispatch every microbe in the con-
servatory upon new predatory err
rand, she rushed to the antiseptic
fountain that played among the palms
and filed watering can from its cool
disinfectant. The last thing to be CIV
ilized, he reflected, will be woman,
but he had barely time to finish the
quotation. For with the nose of the
watering can she was tracing in pink
ish spray upon the tiled floor the three
letters Y-E-S.-London Punch.
