THACKERY AND THE CABMAN.
’l'hsckery loved to relate jokes on
himself, and one he especially enjoyed
wu almnt a1 Reading hackman. The
author' the unaequninted with the
town, and the moment he emerged
from the railway station he told :1
haekney coachman to drive him to the
nearest hotel. The driver clued the
door ceremoniously, mounted his box
and they started. In half a minute the
cab was at a standstill and Thackeray
saw the cabman at the door, bowing
to him to come out. He did so with-
out a word, and found that he was at
the portion of the station hotel, which
hehnd failed tosoewas notndossn
yards of. .
But he handed the man a shilling
and was entering tue hotel, rather
pleased with his own sang iroid, when
he was amazed to see the cabman tak-
ing 0! his coat and oil’ertng to "tight
him for the other sixpenoe." It appears
that on that day a resolution of the
Reading town council had come into
operation empowering hackney.coach—
men to charge eighteeupcncc for any
distance within the township. This
was its ilrst fruits! It is unnecessary
to add that the eabman got his money

THE THEATRES FROM THE IN-
SIDE.
There are live thousand theatres in
America. and that one million and a
half people attend them each week-day
night, spending seventy millions Oi
dollars a year on theatre—going, are the
surprising facts with which Mr. Fran-
klin Pyles, the dramatic editor of thl
New York Sun, will open an import-
ant serica in the next issue of The La-
dies' Home Journal. The series will
be called The Theatre and its People
and will run through seven numbers oi
the magazine, lavishly illustrated with
pictures made by twelve different ar-
tists. The articles will trust of every
phase of the theatre, the play and the
actor, from the inside, and will tell
how a theatre is managed; the actual
money which plays have made: how an
actor is trained and what the actors
are actually paid;.how a play In writ-
ten and what the authors receive; how
a play is rehearsed; the first night of
a play; how theactresscs "make up'
and what they use: and in a minute
way the two last articles will show
what goes on behind the scenes on the
stage during a performance. It is a
curious fact that this will be the lirsi
time that the theatre and the actor
have ever been exhaustively treated in
a magazine, and that there is no book
on the subject in existence.

birds. .
There are good prospects for game
birds in (this state this fall. The swine
and summer hnve been favorable for
partridge and basil and it is believed
that the birds are to be found in the
woods In abundance, as encouraging
reports have come in from the coun-
try.
The drouth of the summer will prob.
ably force a good many sportsmen,
who think they know a good place to
shoot woodcock. to hunt up other
grounds. The woodcock is usually to
be found In swamps and marshy plac-
es, but as many of these have dried up
during the summer the bird will not
be found in its old haunts unless rain
comes before the opening of the game
sacson. Woodcock have not been no-
ticed very plentiful hereabouts thus
far, but should good rains come before
the season opens it is thought they
will return to their old feeding
grounds.
The legislature enacted some legis«
lstion last winter which now makes
it illegal to snare partrirlges in this
state. Heretofore a man has been per-
mitted to snare partridgcs on his own
form, but now no land owner can do
this. The bill met with considerable
opposition from the farmers when it
was in the legislature. as they thought
they should have rights to set snares
if the professional market shooter
was allowed to go into the woods and
take all the partridges he could bring
down with his gun. The bill also holds
up the man who makes a business of
shooting for the market. It does not
permit of any sportsman taking more.
than live partridges in one day and not
more than thirty-six in one season
under penalty of prosecution. and any
person having more than live part-
ridges in his ossession, unless he be
a marketmen or hotel proprietor. is lin-
llle to prosecution. This law, it is be-
lieved, will have. a tendency to increase
the number of partridges in this state
by protecting them from the shares.
which have put many of them to death
annually. There has never been any
law on the hunting of rabbits until the
last Legislature took action. Previous-
ly they could be hunted at any time.
Now it is Illegal to take them except
between October 15 and December 15.
CHAMPION TROUBLE DORROWER.
"I have known a good many borrow-
ers of trouble," said the man with tin
glasses. “but the worst case. i think. is
that of a friend of mine who has pick-
ed out his own pallbearers and made
them all promise that they will insist
upon having probes stuck into him be-
fore he is buried, so as to be sure that
he is really dead."
"That is an aggravated case," rcplicd
his companion, “but I know of one that
beats it. The wife of a poet of my
