Springfield Mass. Republican: DR..
Eliot's visit to Milwaukee to study the
social municipal government did not
shake his conviction that socialism has
no future in America, but he comedies
that the socialists are giving Milwaukee
excellent administration and that Mayor
Seidel is an official of whom any com
munity could be proud. For Mayor
Seidel," says DR.. Eliot, II have the
greatest admiration. He 'is honest, able
and at the same time an exponent of
simplicity. found him most interest
ing. He is distinctly attractive and
seems to be convinced of the wisdom of
his plans, and he impresses me and all
other visitors as an essentially righteous
man. In Milwaukee he has done things
made improvements which have new
er been attempted in other American
cities. Most interesting is his employ
ment of experts, and not only experts
from Milwaukee, but from outside the
state, to suggest municipal improve
ments." Praise from such source
ought to be worth re reelection to the
mayor. DR.. Eliot reveals his fairness,
too, in paying such compliments to an
official who is striving to introduce a
system which the doctor believes would
prove a blight to civilization.

In half a minute Mrs. Cratchit enter

the pudding, like a speckled cannon
ball, so hard and firm, blazing in half
a quartern Of ignited brandy and be-

Cratchit said, and calmly, too, that he
regarded it as the greatest success
achieved by Mrs. Cratchit since their
marriage. Mrs. Cratchit said that now
the weight was off her mind she
would confess she had had her doubts
about the quantity Of -four. Every
body had something to say about it,
but nobody said or thought it was at
all small pudding for a large family.
It would have been fat heresy to do
so. Any Cratchit would have blushed
to hint at such thing.
At last the dinner was all done, the
cloth was cleared, the hearth swept
and the fire made up. The compound

Cratchit family drew round the hearth
In what Bob Cratchit called a circle,

it's elbow stood the family display of
glass-two tumblers and custard cup
without a handle.
These held the hot stuff from the
jug, however, as we'll as golden COB

1t out with beaming looks, while the
chestnuts on the fire sputtered and
cracked noisily. Then Bob proposed:

STAGE REALISM.

Why Jefferson Didn't Have u Dog
Schneider In the Flesh.
It was the privilege Of the writer
years ago to attend reception at
which Joseph Jefferson spoke on the
drama. His treatment Of the subject
was interesting, the utterance Of
man who knew the art Of which he
spoke. But the most interesting part
Of the hour came after the completion
Of the formal address, when an oppor-
ask any questions they wished Of Mr..
Jefferson Soon the familiar topic was
introduced. the effect of the modern
elaboration and realism in stage set
ting. Mr. Jefferson at once rose to the,
question. He spoke somewhat rapidly,
with a quaint humor and sympathetic
charm that were Irresistible He char
acterized the modern fashion Of stage
setting as "a tribute to the weakness
OF the human Imagination" II am Of
ten asked" he went on, why do not
have real dog Schneider. But IL did

And then" meditatively, III / had q

critical moment, and he would bark
and spoil the play, while II he knew
his part perfectly and did just what

their propitiatory gifts, saying: Give

1.-THE peculiar place that these popu-

Mang community Is seen especially In
the ceremonies that are sometimes per-
formed for the removal of disease
Frequently when some one has fallen

the illness as due to the influence OF
some evil spirit. The one effective pre-
scription In such a case Is to call a
Mang and give him a dinner. This Ia
not by any means an act Of friendli-
ness toward despised community, but
has as its object apparently the pro-
pitiation of the demoniac power and
the removal Of the source of the dis
ease from the sick man to Its proper
habitation,
with this end in view practices Of
sympathetic magic, which can be par
alleled in the folk lore of many peo-
Piles, are employed. Portions Of the
finger nails or, it may be, fragments Of
hair Of the invalid are secretly mixed
with the food to be given to the Mang,
and before the sugar water Of which
he Is to partake is given to him the
sick man must see his face In 1t. I'm

He felt that he was restored to eSf1'

the especial purpose of holding a con-

patched to him through Jacob Marley's
Intervention. But, finding that he turn
ed uncomfortably cold when he began
to wonder which Of his curtains this
new specter would draw back, he put
them every one aside with his own
hands and, lying down again, estab-

opposite extremes no doubt there lies
a tolerably wide and comprehensive
range Of subjects. Without venturing
for Scrooge quite as hardly as this I
don't mind calling on you to believe
that he was ready for a good broad
field of strange appearances and that
nothing between baby and a rhinoc

such a goose cooked. Its tenderness
and favor, size and cheapness were
the themes Of universal admiration.
Fixed out by the apple sauce and
mashed potatoes, it was a sufficient
dinner for the whole family. Indeed,
as Mrs. Cratchit said, with great de-

bone upon the dish, they hadn't eaten
it all at last. Yet every one had had
enough, and the youngest Cratchits in
particular were stepped in sage and
onion to the eyebrows. But now, the
plates being changed by Miss Belinda,
Mrs. Cratchit left the room aIone-too
nervous to bear wftness-to take the
pudding up and bring It in.
