FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN

A dinner was given in Yvette Gull
bert's honor in New York. and the act
ress made little speech in English.
My English is not so good" she
said, "but it is not so bad, either. as
the French of a New York gentleman
who went TO see Nine. Bernhardt' play.
This man would laugh when it was
sad in the play, and he would weep
when it was gay. He desired, you see
TO seem TO know well the French, but
he was stupid a little.
"At the first acts end a comedian. a
great artist of the C, mpany, came be-
fore the curtain and said in French a
few words. Whereupon all the house
was silent but the, New York man, for
encouragement, applauded long and
loud.
What for do you applaud? said
the neighbor of the man.
And the man replied in a manner
quite braZen:
so as to make it appear that I I'M
derstand French, EN-?
Il thought so much said the neigh
Dor with a great frown. And do you
know what the artist you are applaud
ing said?'
No, what did he say? demands the
other one.
He said replied the first, that the
rest of his part would be taken by his
understudy because that he has just
received cable dispatch that his moth
er is dead IN Amiens.'"

Browne. think he could get rise out
of his stout friend, exclaimed:
Did you hear that? The waiter
called you Nancy STAIR
Carr was furious in a moment. With
an inperious wave of his hand, which
looked to the waiter as if it might mean
at least two beers, he summoned the
mental before him.
What did you mean, man, by calling
me Nancy Starr" fumed the actor, |

my son, who is now twenty-five
years OF age, when he was four
months old began to have eczema on
his face, spreading quite rapidly until
he was nearly covered. We had all
the doctors around us, and some from
larger places, but no one helped him
a particle. The eczema was something
terrible, and the doctors said It was
the worst case they ever saw. At
times his whole body and face were
covered, all but his feet. ! had to
bandage his limbs and arms; his
scalp was just dreadful. A friend
leased me TO try Cuticura, and be-

HE stayed a day or two, found hiG
wife doing all right, and set out on
his rounds again. Nothing, as it hap

telegram.
And at the end Of the week the
telegram was remembered by the
cook. With an exclamation of horror
you know she couldn't read-she
hurried to the ONCE and sent to the
drummer that delayed message. When
he got It that night he was terrified.
What he read was this;

Laundry work at home would be
much more satisfactory IL the right
Starch were used. In order to get the
desired stiffness, 1t is usually neces-
sary to use so much starch that the
beauty and fineness of the fabric is
hidden behind paste OF varying
thickness, which not only destroys the
appearance, but also affects the wear
ing quality of the goods. This trouble
can be entirely overcome by using De-
fiance Starch, as it can be applied
much more thinly because of its great
er strength thap other makes.

Grade CROSSINGS.

City Engineer Andrew Rinker is
quoted as saying that since the question
Of abolishing grade crossings was re-
vived, nearly every civic and CONNER
cial body in the entire city had adopted
some form Of resolution calling upon
the council to drop the e4tire project
Alderman Holmes adds that the people
Of the city made recently stir about
pure water and denounced the council
as murderers if they did not do some
thing and when the council tried to do
something the people sat down upon all
their efforts.
These reports are not seriously indica-
tive of an Indifference upon the part of
the people to solution Of either problem
They do, however, evidence d confusion
in the public mind as to what should
be DONE: Filtration was the proposed
solution Of the water problem and some
day the city will filter it's water. The
grade-crossing problem is to be solved
by either raising or lowering the rail
road tracks. The present difficulty is
to get an agreement upon one of those
plans. Of course, the ideal condition
would be to have no railroad tracks
crossing the streets, but since this can
! not be, the next best thing is to deter.
mine whether to put the tracks above
the street or below it.
1t would be much better to have them
! entirely below the street, but that plan
| involves almost endless expense in ex
cavating, in rebuilding sewers, in chang
ing business buildings and in othel
ways. 1t seems almost impossible tt
do it. The other plan is to raise thu
tracks and carry the rails across the
streets on trestles. This is the pla1
which has been used in Chicago. 1t i!
| not beautiful scheme. 1t disfgures
the landscape and it appears to cut ont
part Of the town off from the other
But curing grade crossings is admitted
|tosbesa life-saving process; It has moth

However, if the tracks go up tn.
people are entitled to their streets OF

The French Ministry Falls.

The, new president of France had

cabinet crisis thrust upon him. The
Rouvier ministry has fallen on the ques-
tion of the enforcement of the law to
denationaliZe the church. Under that
law the state aid to priests and churches
is to be- gradually withdrawn and GER
tain classes of property in the churches
were to be listed for, taxation. The
police assisting the assessors went to
make inventories and have been re-
sisted everywhere by the people, who
were Mortified at the idea Of gendarmes
breaking into the sacred ediices and
tumbling the sacred utensils about in
an effort to list property for taxation.
The worshipers gathered before, the
churches and prayed while the police
rushed thru the barricades. Riots have
occurred and in some places the fire
hose has been turned on men and
women kneeling in protesting prayer.
The whole performance has been undig-
nified and highly outrageous to the finer
sensibilities Of the people. To such an
extent has the antagonism grown that
