First Actress In London.

1t was a warm reception that was
given to the first French players to
appear in London in 1929 Their visit
was an utter failure 1t was notable,
however, for the important innovation
which was the chief cause of their
unpopuarity.
The luckless troupe introduced ac-
tresses for the first time on the Eng
lish stage-"thereby giving just offence
to all vertuous and well-disposed per-
sons in this town." wrote Thomas
Brande, rejecting the spirit of the
playgoer of that time. who was used
to seeing boys take the female char
acters.

Roaring Ways.

The Red Lion club was composed OF
great Englishmen, and Huxley was
one of the members. The club used to
meet during the session of the British
association. To a certain meeting at
Ipswich, England, which Huxley de-
scribed in his Letters" some foreign
ers were invited, the Prince of Canine,
Bonaparte's nephew, among them, and
greatly astonished they were at the
exceedingly human behavior of the
learned professors. The Red Lion men
had custom of roaring instead of
cheering and of wagging one coattail-
the lions tail-when applauding. The
prince was much impressed by these
proceedings, and when he stood up to
respond to the toast of his health in
stead of making a speech he gave
three mighty roars and three wags.

BRIEF HISTORY OF 10Th U. S.
Organized by Order of President, May
a, 1861, and Made Up Wholly
Of Volunteers.

In response to request for a brief
history of the Twentieth U. s., the Ma
tional Tribune makes the following re-
ply;
The Twentieth U. s. was organized
by order of the president, May A, 1861,
as the Second battalion of the Elev
enth U. S. 1t remained part of the
Eleventh U. S. during the war, and IN
1866 was separated from that regi-
ment and completed as a separate
regiment. AT the time of the reor-
ganization of the Eleventh U. S. into
a three-battalion regiment, the COM
mander was Col e. D. Keyes. 1t was
made up wholly of volunteers and Off
GERS appointed from civil life, the only
veteran at Fort independence, where
it was organized, being Orderly Ser
geant Parr. Some sergeants from the
regular army were detailed to get the
men in shape, and who finally became
lieutenants. The Eleventh U. S. had
very important part in all the bat
ties of the Army of the Potomac, and
at the conclusion of the war was sta
toned at Richmond, Va, under the i'm
mediate command of it's major, Thorn
as H. Neill, brevet brigadier general.
The first field officers of the regiment
were Col Frederick Steele, Lieut.. Col.
Louis D. Watkins and Maj. Thomas H.
Neil. These were all generals in the
volunteer army. The captains had
also attained high rank during the
war, and included such men as Gen.
A. S. Webb, Charles S. Russell,
Charles c. Pomeroy and John G.
Bates The regiment remained in
Richmond, patrolling the city and act
ing as police for the preservation of
order and property. In 1867 1t was
transferred to Baton Rouge, La, and
then distributed to various posts in
that state, where it remained for two
years on reconstruction duty. Lieu
tenant Colonel Watkins commanded
the regiment until his death, March
20, 1868, and was succeeded by Lieuten-
ant Colonel George Sykes. In 1859 the
regiment was transferred to the de-
partment of Dakota, with headquar'
tiers at Fort Smelling, Mimi. 1t had
troublous times in keeping the Sioux in
order and in 1877 was transferred to
the department of Texas, with Colonel
Sykes establishing headquarters at
Forts Brown Colonel Sykes died at
Fort Brown, February s, 1880, and
was succeeded by Col Etwell S. Otis.
In 1881 the regiment was transferred
to the department of the Missouri.
with headquarters at Fort Leaven-
worth. In 1885 the regiment was re-
turned to the department of Dakota,
with headquarters at Bismarck. In
1891 company l, which had been dis
banded, was re-established as an In
dian company, and filled up with en-
listments from the Sioux, eros Ven

nine.
Milton, William Morris and Charles

HELPFUL HINTS.

Keep a piece of gum camphor in the
silver chest; it will keep the silver
bright.
When the hard wood floors get too
impossible, buy bunch of steel wool,
a package of soap powder, and get to
the wool with paper between it and
the gloved hand, hot water with lots
of the soap. Scour off the wood until
it looks like new, dry it and then pro-
coed with either wax or varnish. This
Is not an easy piece of work, but it
will well repay one for the energy ex-
pended.
When cleaning hard wood floors, use
a cloth dipped in oil, rather than wa
ter. A freshly painted floor can be
kept looking like new if a kerosene
dampened cloth is used to wipe it.
A little paraffin used on the kitchen
range and we'll rubbed in will keep
steel range looking like new. This is
a good treatment to give the stoves
before closing the house for the sum-
mer, as it keeps the stoves from rust
fng.
A fine way to clean paint brushes is
to soak them in hot vinegar, then
wash in hot soap suds. The brushes
will then be soft and clean.
One day after the painted walls of
the kitchen had been well steamed
from a boiler of water on the stove,
we tried wiping the walls, and found
that they cleaned very easy; hence
forth we steam them, first and save
much hard work in cleaning.
Mirrors are quickly and nicely
cleaned by rubbing them with cloth
dampened with alcohol.
Save old pieces of outing flannel
for floor cloths. Then wipe the dust
we'll and are soft to wiring when want
ed for scrubbing cloths.
Muriatic acid will dissolve lime in a
teakettle, but it will be wise to be
sure that it is we'll boiled out with
fresh water before using. This acid
is also good to remove water stains
in sink and porcelain bowls.
Before working in the garden, fill
the nails with soap then there will
be no stained finger nails when the
work is done.

renting the ground for the ensuing
year. During the evening those in
