Felt Times Heavy Hand.

The Diaries of Macready, the Eng.
lish actor, have been criticised as ex.
amples of inordinate egotism; but in
one entry at least there is a sugges-
tion of self-depreciation. Describing
a meeting with Henry Clay, he says:
He remembered meeting me (seven-
teen years before). His manners,
though most kind, urbane, and cheer
full, have no longer the vivacity and
great animal spirits that before accom-
panied them. In him and Webster,
two great minds, l see the pressure
of the heavy hand Of time; to descend
to myself. feel it."

DEATH FOUND BOOTH READY
Lifelong Friend Declares That End
Was Really Welcome to the
Great Actor.

The last days of Edwin Booth af-
forded signal illustration of Tenny-
sons expressive line: "The set gray
life and apathetic end" His success
full establishment of "The Players"
upon which his heart had long been
set and by which, as he said to me,
he confidently hoped to cause the ac-
tors to hold their profession in higher
esteem, had fulfilled his final ambition,
and, though for while he remained
on the stage, he neither attempted nor
desired to accomplish anything more.
His home was in the clubhouse, where
his rooms, reverently kept as they
were when he left them forever, re
main unoccupied and unused-an in-
pressive and touching memorial, writes
William Winter in Golfers Weekly.
One evening when l was sitting with
him by the fireside, and he was smok-
ing his pipe and ruminating, COM
mended to him the resources of trav-
ell to break the monotony of custom.
But l have travelled 80 much," he
said, "and wherever l go people want
to entertain me, and l have no peace
Here is my bed, and here is the fire,
and here are the books-and here you
come to see me-"
Then, putting at his pipe, he added:
Il suppose l shall wear out here" So
it was to be. Physical pain harassed
him; bodily weakness had made him
more and more languid; WEAKNESS of
everything had settled on his mind.
The noble patience and the gentleness
of his spirit never waned, but his ex-
pectation was turned eagerly toward
the end. Death, to him, was the crown
ing mercy and blessing of life-truly
"a consummation devoutly to be
wished"
Il cannot grieve at DEATH" he wrote
to me in time of terrible affliction
1T seems to me the greatest boon the
almighty has granted US. Why dc
you not look at this miserable little
life, with all its ups and downs, as
do? At the very worst 'tis but q
scratch, temporary i'll, to be soor
cured by that dear old doctor, Death
who gives us life more healthful and
enduring than all the physicians TEN
poral or spiritual can give"
His last two years were passed in
desultory reading, mostly on religious
subjects, and in musing over the past
and so he drfited away. AS an actor
he was great indeed-even greater
as, in pondering on the subject, have
come to think, than his wonderful ia
ther. But to him living was infinitely
more important than acting.

WERE ALL ONE TO HIM
HORACE GREELEY NOT PARTlcU.
LAR AS TO FOODS HE ATE.
Amusing Stories Told by the Late
Whitelaw Reid Concerning the
Eccentrlcities of His Famous
Chief at Table.

Several Of the anecdotes that our
late ambassador to England, Whitelaw
Reid, used to relate of Horace Gree
ley, his old chief on the Tribune, have
recently been going the rounds Of the
press. Most of them refer to his pc
culiarities in the office; few to those
he displayed in company, especially at
table, where his observation-disclosures
and his queer theories combined to
produce unexpected results.
Once, when he was to take supper
with a daughter of Nathaniel Willis
she arranged the meal especially to
suit his ideas. 1t was simple, and
there were plenty of the graham things
that he advocated so ardently. But
lest her own family should rebel, there
were also hot rolls upon the table. Mr.
Greeley's eye fastened upon them at
once, and ignoring the graham gems
conveniently at hand, he reached for
hot ROLAND then for another. AS
he began on a third, his hostess re-
marked that she was delighted to see
that he liked her rolls, but that she
had thought he did not eat such things.
Fanny, do you always practice what
you preach?" was the unperturbed re-
joinder; and he made his entire meal
off the delicious but indigestible rolls
that his own decree had banished from
the Greeley home-leaving scant few
for his table companions, who had to
exc out their supper with the unde-
sired gems.
But II he was funny when he knew
what he ate, he was funnier when he
did not-as in the famous episode Of
the crullers, which occurred at the
table Of his boarding house. When the
crullers were passed to him, instead
of taking single cruller he accepted
the entire basket and absently placed
1t In his lap as he continued his dis
course. Presently, vaguely aware of
something there, his hand wandered
downward and encountered cruIler.
This he mechanically grasped and
raised to his mouth. Quite unaware
of what he was doing, he ate and
talked, and talked and ate; cruller
after cruller disappeared until the bas.
ket was empty. The company were
convulsed with suppressed merriment;
one or two had to leave the table, to
have their laugh out in the hall.
But the kindly landlady, distressed
on account Of possible results, remem-
bered having heard that the best anti
dote to indigestion was cheese. Quietly
removing the empty cake basket from
Mr.. Greeley's lap, she put in its place
plate Of cheese, trusting to Provi
dence that his habituated hand would
continue its action. 1t did. His talk
flowed on, but his fingers found the
cheese, and it. too, disappeared to the
last crumb.
"Those who saw the sight," it is
declared, were firm in the belief thai

SEVENTEEN CENTURY WIDOWS
PERIOD OF MOURNING.
Even the Sheets and Hanglngs of the

Queer Customs Of Tudor
Times.

At time when beds and bedsteads
were regarded as sacred possessions
worthy to be bequeathed there was
one dreadful bed which was no doubt
the pride as we'll as the burden of the
seventeenth century housewife.
This was the mourning bed." hung
entirely in black, probably black vel
vet, not even the sheets in the case
of widow being permitted to be
white and the walls of the room and
all the furniture were draped in an
equally gloomy fashion.
1t was not until the close of the
century that young widow in the
country was permitted to have white
sheet because she was Ill and could
not bear the black cloth!
Mourning was and continued to be
a very expensive matter, since it was
the custom to send it to all intimate
friends as well as to near relations.
Lady Sussex, with the great good
sense she displayed in practical mat
ters, twice refused "blakes" (blacks)
from the Verneys during the Civil
war because she knew they could not
afford 1t. and alleging as her reason
that she was living quietly at Cor
hambury and seeing nobody, writes
Rose M. Bradley in The English

mourning bed round the family and
