A Drawback to Being EnoI;.h.

According to Mr.. Sydney Brooks,
London correspondent for Harper's
Weekly, New Workers who live in
rented flats or houses are enjoying a
the lot of the London tenant. The
British landlord, he complains in the
current Weekly. is a tyrant; and the
long lease system is the basis Of his
tyranny. Neither in Paris nor in Ber-
lin nor in New York, he points out,
TEN of 10 months leases that obtain
in New York is the Magma Charta
OF the tenant. 1t has done Infinitely
more for American happiness than
either the Declaration of Independence
or the divorce laws. 1t makes land
lords complaint, and confers upon
the tenant a status of something very
like equality. To be able to take q
house or q fiat for q year. with the
option Of renewal at the same rent
q rent that in houses includes all
decorations n repairs, and in flats
includes steam heat. electric light and
a perpetual supply OF hot water-is to

are apparently on the lookout for is

Ivy Leaf as cIarinct.

A new use has been found for the leaf
of the ivy. Crowns Of ivy leaves have
been presented to artists and musicians
since the early ages. but it has been re-
served for a certain Signor Burato Valen-
tino to discover the musical possibilities
in the little leaf. Yesterday Signor VAL
entina, who is a clarinet and orchestral
player from Milan, CAV an exhibition OF
his art as an ivy leaf player. He en,-
ploys the simple leaf just as the reed Of

1t is quite possible that the position
of the chef who cooks for Francis Will
son is fully as important as the negress
who is the present incumbent thinks
it is. In court the other day, when
she was asked if her employer was
comedian, she loftily answered.: He
sho' is. Don't L cook for hing"
Are you responsible for his humor?"
asked the judge.
Yes, sah," she answered with decis-
ion.
Very likely she is largely right in her
assumption. Here is a cook who is
%fession, knowing that it can produce
either joy and the spirit of comedy or
the gloom of tragic woe in the con-
sumner. There can be no doubt that this
capable colored lady has been the power
behind the comedian-the invisible
muse thai has aroused many audiences
to mirth. OF course. Mr.. Wilson is
blessed with a comic face, a pair OF
queer legs. n a funny squeak in his
voice, and it cannot be claimed that
any Of these things are dependent upon
his diet, but he has to have the right
spirit behind them in order to make
them effective, and good cooking does
a lot toward making the right spirit.
Eating has much to do with making
persons what they are. Feed a man
we'll and you naturally find him COM

comedy in him 1t is bound to bubble up.
Give him poor food and he will become
morose and his mental trend will get
pessimistic. Garry the treatment far
enough, or give him q touch of semi
starvation and ne will begin to heave
long signs of woe, M likely as not
he will take to writing poetry. Mr.. VIII
son has had a good cook and so he
has been a successful comedian. Som
persons have been known to opine that
Mr.. Wilson is not q comedian. and
there is nothing merry about him at
all. But that prove nothing. Prob
ably such persons have beer suffering
from the villainous work of poor cooks,
In that case they could not be expected
to appreciate the bright side of life.
