of American actors and actresses who
have come down to that admirable Ger
man school of their art on Irving place.
From the opera house a mile to the
northward rolls in the stout gentleman
who, an hour past, was breaking young
ladies' hearts as Faust or Tristan. His
table is awaiting him. The kellner-no
straightens the inclined chair, pulls it
out, and Herr Weiss-Nicht-We waddles
beamingly to his place, where he is
joined by his customary companions.
Faust eat an onion sandwich? Ach web!

to demand leberwurst und Pilsener!
Even so. There is no demand for night

At the table next the one where the
American actors off Broadway are dis

comfortable party of three is gathered,
The good Frau-she is all of 60-has not

THEY WON'T SHUT DOORS.
And They Will Ride Backward, Reports a
Traveller of Englishmen.

Travellers returning from England tell
of two habits of the people of that coun-
try which impressed them. One is the
average Englishman's aversion to shut
ting the door behind him.
II don't know how it is in the English
houses" remarked one who returned re-
Gently from abroad, "for l was not in
one of them; but l stayed in a hotel in
London where there were a good many
English people, and a dozen times daily
I had to get up and shut door to keep
the draught away.
1T didn't make any difference whether
it was a servant or a guest who went
through, the door was left open. This
was in the spring of the year, too, when
the weather was chilly. l noticed the
same thing in railway coaches and ho-
tells of smaller towns"
The other English popularity is a pref
erence for riding backward on trains.
The Englishman will make for the seat
with it's back to the engine every time,
plant himself down in it with every evil
dence of comfort and look wonderingly
at anybody who picks out a seat facing
the direction the train is going. Not
once did one American travelling in Eng
land see native choose a seat facing
the front of the train unless there were
no other seats.-New York Sun.

the oysters to its taste, he became even
less calm. Had the cat been near it is
highly probable that a considerable ma
jority of its nine lives would have come
to an abrupt termination.
After this stage, to console the unfor-
tunate man, the fire began to go again.
In about five minutes the chop that the
eat hadn't eaten was especially well done.
1t could be quite safely left on the win
dow with a whole legion of starving
cats ground it. Mr.. Meek however, sim
ply left it in the coal scuttle.
Then there came over Mr. Meek's face
a terrible expression. He brought in a
pail and poured the soup carefully into
it: next he scraped the potatoes in the
same pail; then he poured the tomatoes
on top of the potatoes. 1t cannot be
definitely stated whether or not Mr.. Meek
in doing this was actuated by the desire
IL prepare some famous camping dish,
Ielished in the dear old Volunteering
days; but certain it is, no sooner did he
get the tomatoes nicely on top of the po-
tatCcs than he tool, the whole thing and
tossed it into the back yard dustbin.
This accomplished, he proceeded to make
a meal off the cold ham and some bread
and butter-the cooking butter. of course.
Just as he was finishing Mrs. Meek
returned.
Hello, dear" cried Mr. Meek calmly,
I've been terribly busy. Detained at the
office; only just got home, This is very
good hama shade overdone, though,

Perhaps a shade less wouldn't have
hurt it. Let me get you piece of pie %
mo, thank you! No cold pie for me
when there's hot apples in the oven.
You might get them if you're not too
tired"
Mrs. Meek departed on her errand. In
few moments she reappeared, and with
out moving a muscle, placed the plate
and baked apples before her lord and
master. They were about the size of
Walnuts, and the color of ebony.
Mr.. Meek rose with an awful look in
his eye.

Sions of Long Life.

in the medical world said a we'll
known veteran doctor of Tioga yester
day, cit is a generally accepted fact
that every person bears physical indica-
tons of his prospects of a long or short
life A long-lived person may be dis
tinguished from short-lived person at
sight. In many instances a physician
may look at the hand Of Il patient and
tell whether he or she will live or not

somewhat heavy palm and short fingers
The brain will be deeply seated, as
shown by the oritice Of the ear being
low The blue or brown hazel eye, as
showing an intermission of temperament
is a favorable indication. The nostrils
if large. open and free, indicate large

CHECKING THE PLAGUE IN INDIA
Average Number of Deaths Lower Last
Year Than Heretofore.

Assistant Surgeon Eakins, the United
States army officer stationed at Calcutta,
reports that there were 59,619 deaths
from the plague in India the last year,
a considerable decrease from the average
number in recent years. The surgeons
who have been experimenting with in
oculation as a preventive Of the disease
are very much encouraged by the results
shown. Out Of TIT persons inoculated
in Calcutta. only one died of the plague.
But that is by no means so conclusive
as it seems, because most of those inocu-
lated were inmates of jails and were not
so much exposed to the disease as per-
sons who mingled with the crowds in the
streets and markets. If incubation
should prove as effective in preventing
bubonic plague as vaccination has proved
in preventing smallpox another devasta-
ting disease may be checked and mil
lions of lives saved.-Baltimore Sun.

A little girl in a red hat approached
the tigers cage, and the old tiger, with
a horrid yell, made a spring at her. Her
yell in return was almost more dread

er, 1--WE ought to have a rule prohibiting
red in the carnivora house. Red excites
these animals something fierce. It's
actually bad for their health"
"Why does red excite them"
Because it looks like flesh, it looks
like blood. A lion or a tiger sees a
girl in a red hat or a red blouse, and
he gets the idea in his noddle that a
chunk of raw meat is being brought to
him. He mistakes the red fabric for a
horse steak, and, slavering and roaring,
he makes a dash for it. And that is
the psychology of a carnivorous animals

Welded One Hundred Years.

There has just been celebrated in the
little village of Isonbolgi in Vienna the
anniversary of wedding which occurred
just 100 years ago.
The long welded couple are named
Szathmari. The husband is 120 years
old and the wife 116. They have L2n-
dreds of descendants in and around tho
village. The old people live in a modest
cottage and are we'll looked after by reE-
atives. They are nearly blind and deaf,
and sleep nearly all the time. The man.
however, still enjoys his pipe and q glass
of wine, and neither is bedridden.
1t is a strange fact that in all their
years they have never left the village and
know nothing of tie great world outside

A Connecticut hen helped a thief to
conceal watch. When the police found
the watch the hen was setting on it.
During its absence from the owner the
timepiece had lost its usual regularity,
and when picked up was an hour slow.
This shows that nature occasionally
fails to make preparation for emergen-
cies.
Although the hen was a setting hen
she failed to set the watch.-Cleveland

Candidates Turned Down.

At the meeting of the Parish

mulgate the result of the applica-
tions of candidates in st. Martin
parish, we learn from Mr.. Drau-
gin Angelic that he who is a can
didate for Constable in the Fifth
Ward Oh the Pellerin ticket was
turned down because he had not
paid his poll tax Of 1905, and was
not even given a chance to show
his qualification. Mr.. Angelic
was here Tuesday and showed US
bis poll tax receipt for 1906 and
has ample time to pay the poll
tax of 1907.
The other candidate turned
down is Mr.. Wade o. Martin a
candidate for the Legislature, also
on the Pellerin ticket, he is not
registered, be is a young man who
has recently attained his majority
and has all the time necessary to
qualified himself, he, also; was
here Tuesday and have employed
CoupseIs to force the committee to
file their papers.
This action of the Parish COM
mittee has raised the Indignation

der 1t at outrage as they claim the
COMMITTEES had no right to sit as a
court and pass upon the qualifica-
ton of the candidates. which is a
matter for the courts.

mites, Secretary of State or the
Governor had a right to pass upon
his qualification, and after bis
election the Governor was com.
pelled to issue to him his commits.
