A ChlnesoABnby Show. .

‘A Chinese baby show was one of tho
attractions at the mining fair at San.
Francisco. Two hundred babies of
Oriental parentage were displayed, and
the sight was unique on this occasion.
The little boys had their heads shaven,
and the girls had their hair stiffened
and decked with fringes of beads and
paper flowers. The complete gravity
and silence of this array of Celestial
infants added to the queerness of the

show. ___________

l BREAKING THE NEWS.

“Do you think he’ll take it very
badly, Nora?” .

- Nora Helmsley shrugged her shoul-
ders.

“My dear Betty, you ought to know
more about Mr. Markham’s powers of
endurance than I.” ,

“But what do you think he’ll do?
What do you suppose”—— '

“Why waste our time in supposition?
He’ll be here most likely this after-
noon, and you will be able to judge
for yourself.”

Betty Oakhurst sprang to her feet.

“Ted is coming here this afternoon?
Why on earth didn’t you tell me be-
fore?” And she figctted nervously
with :her hat before the glass as she
spoke.

“But you knew. Betty, where are
you going?”

“Anywhere out of this,” cried the
girl, laughing nervously as she stooped
to kiss her friend. .

Nora, however,~ caught her arm.
“Nonsense, Betty! You’d much better
tell him straight out now and get it
over. It will be ever so much more
awkward for you if the news reaches
him from the outside.”

“I don’t see that at all,” returned
Betty quietly, as she drew away from
her companion. “I am sure that if—
if you”—

She paused tentatively.

“You don’t mean to say that you ex-
pect me to tell Ted Markham that
you’ve jilted him?”

“I certainly don’t expect you to put
it in that way,” replied Miss Oak-
hu'rs-t, with a little laugh; “but I am
quite certain that you would explain
it to the poor fellow much better than
any one else.”

“Ex-plain!” exclaimed Nora, impu-
tienltly. “I: donjt know that there’s
anything-to explain, except that you’ve
put-2, yourself andfme in amost ridicu-
lous position.”

' “Nora!"

“1?" {fish I’d never had anything f6

do: vfltliit.’ Inever felt so uncomfort-
able i-n my life as I have done since
you dragged me into this precious
scheme of yours.” - ’

“Poor old Nora!" murmured Betty
sympathetically, while she cast furtllve
glances at theclock.

“You came here and shed any num-
ber of tears, declared that you adored
Ted Markham; that your father
wouldn't hear of an engagement, but
that if you only bad a little time be-
fore you, you were sure everything
would come right.”

"So it has,” remarked Betty, sqtto‘

voce. “It’s only a questionof point
of view.” ‘

Nora flashed an indignant look at

her.
“I think you might be serious now,
and at least pretend that you’re
ashamed of yourself. You begged me
to help you to get my aunt to ask him
here, to act as screen in fact, so that
your people might imagine it was all
over and that you had both changed
your minds, and now—now”—

The sound of a bell broke in upon
Miss Helmsley’s eloquence, and Betty
caught up her gloves;

“I’m awfully sorry, Nora. Abuse
me as much as you like. Goodby!”

And before Nora could stop her she
had darted through the door and was
on her way downstairs. She’let her
go. After all, it never was of any use
to argue with Betty; she Was one of
those delightfully irresponsible crea-
tures who always manage to shift the
blame of their shortcomings on to oth—
er people's shoulders, and whom no
one—no man, at any rate—ever dreams
of judging by ordinary standards.
Nora won-derel, as she stood there idly
looking into the street, how she could
ever have been foolish enough to take
Betty’s IOVe troubles serious-1y.

, Meantime, that same folly of hers
was going to bear some very unpal-
alt-able fruit. In less than ten min-
utes young Markham would be there.
He had arranged to call for Miss
Helmsley and her aunt, Lady Hewitt,
to escort them to an afternoon con-
cert. The elder lady had declared at
luncheon that the weather was far. too
depressing for it not to be madness to
risk the probability ,_ f a further fall
of one’s moral baroi eter by a couple
of ‘hours of orchestral music, and that
Nora must give him some tea and
her excuses. '

Nora was conscious that this was a
neat pretext for giving the young man
the chance of a tete—a-Itete with her-
self. Lady Hewitt was too indolent,
naturally. not to 'be heart.in weary of
her duties as chaperon to her niece.
An attractive heiress was a responsi-
bility little to her taste, and the girl
felt~that, ineligible as most mothers
and responsible people would have
termed Ted Markham, with his post
in the Foreign Office and his meagre
personal fortune. Lady Hewitt would
open her arms to him gladly if he
Would but relieve her of her onerous
duties of watchdog. and would de-
clare that Nora had money enough for
them both. - _.

Nora sighed as she stood at the win-
dow. It was a topsy-turvy would, and
the wrong people were always being
thrown together. If only—~—

“Am I disturbing you? I was told
to come in here.” ' "

Nora started, and the color rushed
to her face. '

“Oh, I hadn’t heard you 'come in! Do
sit down. Aunt isn’t well. I am so
sorry you should have had the trouble

' of calling for nothing, but she hoped
to be able to go until the last moment.
Won’t you let me give you some tea?”
She spoke with nervous hurry, scarce-

”ly pausing for an answer.

TedgMarkh-am.,_took the,’ chair she
offered mm; and listened in silence
while she rattled on. Suddenly she
stopped, conscious of his fixed glance.

"is anything the matter?” she asked,
in 2a,,slightly alarmed voice; It was
surely not po’sLsible that he could al-

ready have, learned Betty’s treachery.
“Yes. fWe Can’t go on like this, Miss

, ' Helmsley!”

“No?” Nora felt the color go out
of her face. " ‘

“It isn’t fair to you, and besides I—w
things have changed”———-—

“You mean that Betty”— .

“Miss O-akhurs't is going to be mar~
ricd.” Nora gasped, but did not speak.
“She~ is engaged to Lord B-arthorpe.
I met LadyIOakhul-st just now, and
she was overflowing with loving-kind-
ness to the world in genera.” '

“Betty has behaved abominablyi”
put in Nora, indignantly.

Ted Markham smiled.

“I think, on the Contrary, that she
has shown remarkably good sense. 1
am going to leave London; I really
came this afternoon to say g-oodby.”

Nora bit her lips.

“I am very sorry,” she began hesi-
tatingly. “I am afraid I was rather
to blame, but 'I thought Betty really
cared, and”—

She left the sentence unfinished.
Ted Markham’s demeanor puzzled her;
he was quite white, and there. was a
look in his eyes which troulbled her.

What was there in her fluffy-haired,

blue-eyed little friend to move a man
5so? That her companion had taken
some great resolution, and that a sin-
.gularly difficult one, it 'was easy
enough to perceive. ..

“Are you going to be away long?”
she askeu awkwardly. “I mean, are
you going far‘?” _ '

“I think of going -to have a look at
the antipodes. My father has some
interest, and I hope to get sent OH to
Melbourne.”

“But haven’t you made up your
mind rather hurriedly?” she objected
timidly.

“’Hurriedly? Why, I put things in
train weeks ago!” »

"Weeks ago!” she exclaimed. “But
Betty’s engagement is. quite fresh.
Did you sus‘pect”————

“I suspected nothing. I knew”—

“You. knew!” she‘ exclaimed indig-
nantly. “Then why didn’t you speakl
Why didn’t you tell me?”

“Tell you!” She, stared at him, his
tone was so vehement. “Oh, about
Betty, you mean!”

“Of course. W'hat ‘else could I
mean?"

“Nothing, of course”—

“Really, I don’t understand you.”

He laughed drearily as he rose. “No,
I must not explain. Goodby.”

She, looked up at him with startled
eyes. _,

“You are too hard on Betty. ‘ She"—

“On Betty? Don't you know that I
haven’t thought of her for weeks——
that I found out long ago that we had
made a mistake?”

“Then why are you going?”

She managed to keep her eyes upon
his face, though .11 er cheeks burned
and she felt almost choked.

“Don’t you know that I am almost
a pauper?” he said bitterly, as he
turned away. .

Nora took a sip after him. “Are
you going,” she asked in a trembling
voice, “because you want to make
your fortune, or because—because 1
am too rich?”

“Nora!”

She covered her face with her hands.

“Oh, if you were not in love with
Betty, didn’t you see—didn’t you guess
weeks ago”—— .

The voices of the chaperons were
loud in condemnation when the en-
gagement was announced. and the
mothers of younger sons and .ungill
titles declared that Lady Hewitt had
allowed her niece to throw herself
away; while Betty Oakhurst shook
her pretty head and reflected sadly
that men were fickle creatures and
that feminine friendship was but a
broken reed—London World.

JOE JEFFERSON’S LONG snooze.

There Was No Protcnce and the Resonant
Snore Was Genuine.

While he was playing “Rip Van
Winkle” at Chicago Jefferson once
went to the theatre very much ex-
hausted by a long day’s fishing on the
lake. As the curtain rose on the third
'act it disclosed the white haired Rip
still deep in hiSUtwenty-years’ nap.
Five, ten, twenty minutes p‘sz-s-ed and
he did not awaken. The audience be
gall to get impatient and the promptcr
uneasy. '

The great actor doubtless. knew what
he was about, but this was carrying
the realistic business too far. The fact
was that all this time Jefferson was
really sleeping the sleep of .the just,
or rathe‘r‘of the fisherman who had
sat eight hours in the sun, Finally
the gallery became uproar’ious. and
one of the “gods” wanted to know it
there whs goingto be “nineteen years
more of this snooze business.”

At this point ’Jeflferson began to
"snore. This decided the prompler,
who opened a small trap beneath the
stage and began to prod R'ip from be-
low. The fagged comedian fumbled
in ibis pocket for an imaginary railway
ticket, and muttered drowsily, “Going
right through, ’ductor.”

At this entirely new reading the au-
dlience was transfixed with amaze-
ment, when allfiat once Jefferson sat
up with a loud shriek, evidently in
agony. The exasperated prompter had
jabbed him with a pin. Consciousness
of the situation. came to him and the
play went on after that with a rush.—

NEW YORK LETTER,
1. " ' ‘ .
L . Special Correspondence
'It was a wise man who made ‘the
statement that ."Bread is the staff of
' life." and he who has visited; the bread
stands of New York's great east side
will realize the fact from the tons and
tons of bread he sees there offered for
' sale. 221 short trip of less than a mile,
i from Mulberry street down Hester, 01'
l to Mon-roe or Orchard, will enable the
beholden- to see and count over 200
different kinds and forms of bread.
There will be seen not only the numer—
ous forms of American bread, but the
Italian varieties and the Hebrew
forms. as depicted in the engraving.

 

 

 

 

l Promin-ently displayed is the famous '.

‘rye bread, made in loaves twenty
inches in diameter and six 'or seven
inches thick. These loaves, as seen in
the engraving, have been cut through
the center, and are sold thus; as a
complete loaf is a great amount of
bread for a single family to handle at
one time, even as numerous as the
Hebrew families are. ' he loaves at
the top are freshly cut. while those
nearer the bottom seem to have been
divided at some far-distant day, and
have assumed the weatherbcaten ap-
pearance of sawduSt.

At the left is the form of bread most
commonly seen in this quarter. The
loaves are also round, about twelve
inches in diameter, five or six inches
thick, and, like the rye bread. were
baked without tins upon the bottom
of the oven. Nearly all the bread is
baked in the same manner, and con-
sequently has a heavy crust all over
it. One Of 'these loaves, after becom-
ing stale, if covered with plush and
trimmed with fringe, would make an
elegant and durable hassock or foot
stool for parlor or sewing room!

The Shakers In Real Estate. .

People would be amazed to know
that some of, the richest patches of
improved land on Manhattan Island
are owned (by the Society of Shakers
in, New Lebanon. Only a few days
ago' they acquired title to a valuable
hotel property running an entire
square on the ‘Vcst Side and worth
at least $2,000,000. They are forever
on the lookout for heavy investments.
all in real estate, and seem. to have a
pocketbook without a bottom. They
are rich as cream. Their methods are
peculiar. extremely primitive. One of
their slyest members slips down to
the city; spends a few weeks in nosing
around for bargains, talks with prop-
ertyuholders and agents and then goes
home to report. The supreme council
of the Shakers is composed of fifty
acute business men. who can drive a
bargain and pray with the same facil—
ity. In this body these reports are
discussed. and the investment of enor-
mous sums hangs on the. verdict.
Everybody has a chance to make sug-
gestions, and. in this way some point
that others would miss isseen and
acted on. As a result these peculiar,
ascetic disciples of Mother Ann and
Joseph Meacham. who founded the
New Lebanon settlement back in the
last century on-a plain oatmeal basis,
now possess-es property here on the
island that will make their descend-
ants Astors. They have gone special-
ly. in the past five years, into upper
\Vest Side development. All this is
the outcome of economy and thrift.
Idleness they call a cardinal sin. They
have enormous gardens, where flow-
ers. medical herbs. fruits and vegeta-
bles are cultivated. Lately they have
gone heavily into agriculture and mail-

all they produce.

Dramatic Troubles.

him bankrupt. He afterward re-

A woman, if. silo;- is really your

A man’s best female friend is a wife

of good sense and good heart, whom he .

loves and who loves him.

But supposing the man to be without
such a helpmate, female friendship
he must still have, or his intellect will
be without a garden, and there will be
many an u‘nheeded gap in even the
strongest fence. Better and safer, of
course, such friendships where dispari-
ties of years or circumstances put the
