Mme. de Staci Described.
“Mme. do Stael (1813) was one of the most
singular looking foreign monsters that I ever
beheld. Her face was that of a blackamoor
attempted to be washed white. She wore a
wig like a bunch of withered heather, and
over that a turban which looked as if it had
been put on in the dark; :1 short neck, and
shoulders rising so much behind that they
ahnost amounted to a hump. IVith this
ugliness, all the airs of a beauty—forever
tormenting her shawl into new draperies,
and distorting her fingers as you see them
in the ridiculous French portraits by Mig-
nard and his followers. As to her conversa-
tion—to people who like long rliapsodies,
scarcely intelligible, the theme chosen by
the speaker, I dare say it was charming;
for my own part, I had the bad taste not to
be able to endure either her writings or dis-
courses. Ibelieve posterity will be of my
mind as to the former; of the latter it can-
not judge.”—Charies Kirkpatrick Sharp in
Temple Bar.
ligh Speed on Railroads.
There are many things connected with high
speeds on railways which tax the ingenuity of
locomotive engineers to the utmost. Theliucs
have to be made strong enough to withstand
the heavy blows of the locomotive, for the other
portions of the running plant are light in
comparison. A railway~train at sixty miles
an hour may be compared to a huge projec-
tile, and subject to the same laws. T he nio-
mentum is the product of the weight of the
train multiplied by the square of the velocity
in feet per second; and if we allow a train of
120 tons, traveling at. a speed of sixty miles
an hour, then the work required to bring it
to a standstill would be 14,400 foot tons ex-
erted through one minute, or nearly a thou-
sand horse power, which gives some id'.& of
its destructive force if, unhappily, it. should
come into action; and yet this terrific power
is so entirely under command that the
strength of a child turning the small handle
of file vacuum brake can bring the train to a
stand in a few seconda—Chambcrs’ Journal.
Stopped the Investigation.
The proficiency attained by tho colorczl
men who have charge of the hat reruns in
large hotels is often surprising. The]: viii
pass out two hundred chapcanx without
making a single mistake. A young man
from Buffalo was so impressed with the per-
formance at a New York hotel the other
day that, in a tone of respectful admiration,
he asked the phenomenon how he knew it
was his hat. “Well, sah,” was the brisk re-
sponse, “I couldn’t swar dat t‘e hat was
yourn, sah; I only knows it was dc hat yo
guv me.” The bystanders smiled, and the

tion right there—Buffalo Commercial.
llis Animal Group.
“How do I judge character?” said Mar-
shall P. W'ilder; “why, I always study a.
man’s face for that. I fix his features indel-
bly in my memory by placing it in my ani-
mal group.”
“Your animal group? “What is that?”
“Oh, some men I liken to the fox—they
are sly; the bear, growlers; the cat, treach-
erous; the horse, noble; the dog, faithful;
the puppy, despicable; the terrier, snappy
and snarling. Some faces are like rays of
sunshine to me, and some are like black and
ugly clouds. The only thing I can suggest
to a man with a bad face is not to keep a
hotel.”
“Volunteer."
The amount of pressure required to make
men Willing suggests that Pat was not far
out of the way.
“Pat,” said his master, “what’s all that
noise in the street?”
Pat went out to learn, and soon returned,
saying: “Oh, it’s nothing, sir; they’re only
forcmg a man to volunteer.”—-Youth’s Com-

Tea Will Intoxicate.
A new source of intoxication has been dis-

course, before it is steeped. It produces an
agreeable effect at first, but indulgence final

MORE THAN A MILLION PEOPLE LIVE
IN THEM IN NEW YORK.
The Difference Between Apartment Flats
and Tenement Houses—Some of the Lat-
Occupants—Facts
ter That Swarm with
Known Only to the Initiated.
How does a tenement house differ from
It does not
: differ at all, except that the buildings digni-
; fied by the name of “flats” and “apartments”
5 speaking,
are a better class of buildings and are occu-
pied by a better class of people. Strictly
a tenement house is one that is
occupied by more than one family, so that
all the handsome flat buildings may be
classed under this one term with all the ten-
ement houses in the city.
This is speaking legally; but, of course,
every one knows that as to details there is a
wide difference between the ordinary tene-
ment house and a first class flat house. in
the latter every attention is paid to insure to
each tenant privacy, comfort and elegance,
while in the former but little attention is
paid to these things, comparatively speaking,
and for obvious reasons. Luxury cannot be
had for the rent that is paid by the occu—
pants of these tenement houses, and they are
of a class who neither know of nor want the
elegancies of life.
STARTLING FIGURES.
A census was taken by tlu- police of
York of all the persons lix .ng in l1‘ill.‘!liclll‘.
houses; that is, in what are generally called
tenement houses, and not the flats occupied
by the better class of people. In these tene—
ment houses, then, of which there are 35,390,
the population is over 1,000,000, comprising
264,972 families. Many of these houses are
what are called “double deckers,” which have
a hall in the center and four flats on each
floor, and are from four to six stories in
height.
The flats average about four rooms each,
and the rents are from $12 to $36 a. month.
In these houses the plumbing is excellent,
owing to the inspection by the health officers,
and in many instances it is said to be better
than the plumbing in a large number of pri-
vate houses that do not come within the
jurisdiction of the health board. And it is
said that the death rate is higher in private
houses than in the tenement houses, in spite
of the overcrowding.
But these are not the worst kind of tene-
ment houses; they are the best. The build-
ings not originally intended for tenements,
but altered over for the habitation of fami-
lies, are apt tobe dark, unhealthy and un-
comfortable. The most densely populated
tenement district is south of Tompkins square
and east of Second avenue, and down in Hes—
ter, Ludlow, Bayard and Essex streets and in
the neighborhood of Baxter street. But none
of those tenement houses are so large as some
of the big apartment houses uptown. The
biggest tenement, known as “the big flat,”
and running from Elizabeth to Mott street,
was probably the largest tenement house in
the city.
In it were gathered people of all nationali-
ties and religious, and of no religion and no
morals. But this building was taken dowu,
and now a big manufacturing establishment
fills its place. Often under one number are
included four or five houses, in an alleyway,
of four or five stories, each story containing
four flats, and into one of these small flats,
besides the family, will be crowded several
boarders, whose small sum for board or lodg-
ing, or both, helps defray the expenses of the
rent.

“DONOVAN’S LANE.”
Such a community is at No. 14 Baxter
street. Entering at this number, a passage
led to the three houses in the rear, and be-
yond them into Pearl street. This was for-
merly called “Donovan’s lane,” and wasa
favorite thoroughfare for thieves and worse
characters, who ran through here to escape
the police. It was the board of health that
suggested the building of a. high brick wall at
the houses in the rear of No. 14, to close up
this thoroughfare, and it was done. But an
excellent representation of the spot was given
in “Pique,” that was played some years ago.
In one scene Fanny Davenport is out in a
snow storm and sinks down at the corner of
one of these rear buildings. There were,
probably, only a few who saw that play who
knew that the scenery was an exact copy of
a portion of a. Baxter street tenement house.
No. 14 now includes five houses, the house on
the street being the largest of them. It is
five stories high, about 25 feet front and 75
deep, and is occupied chiefly by Italians. In
these five houses dwell 240 persons over 5
years of age and thirty-three under 5 years,
making a total of 270, and only four deaths
have occurred here during the past year.
Nos. 33, 35 and 37 Baxter street are the
average tenement house, and were built
by Buddensiek, but it was not until after he
sold them that the plumbing was found de-
t'cctive and the walls were condemned. The
board of health took them in hand, and now
they areas healthy as the other houses and
quite as full. Four stories high, with four
flats on each floor. they accommodate six-
tccn families.
These are very small figures compared to
the big apartment houses. The large build-
ing called the Dakota, that overlooks Cen-
tral park, contains sixty-three apartments,
which accommodate about nine hundred per-
sons, and the house is full. The eight Na—
varro buildings, that contain from thirteen
to sixteen apartments each, have accommo-
dations for 125 families. The Hawthorne,
with its eight stories, contains sixteen flats,
and the Osborne, eleven stories high, contains
nearly double that number. The Grenoble,
seven stories in height, contains over twenty
flats, and the Strathmore, with its nine
stories, shelters eighteen families. Small
towns in themselves, these big buildings
might be called, but tenement houses they
are. And scattered about the city are in-
numerable small houses of five or six stories,
containing two flats on each floor, on a plan
closely resembling the better class of tene-
ment houses—New York Star.
The Drummer’s Ruse.
A short time ago, a drummer from abroad
called at a Bangor livery stable and wanted a
double team for a ten day’s trip into the
country , and the stable man refused to let
him one on the ground that he wasastrangcr.
There was much discussion over the matter
and finally the drummer said: “\Vhat is your
team worth?” “Four hundred and fifty dol-
lars,” was the reply. “If I pay you that sum
for it, will you buy it back again when I re-
turn?” asked the customer, and upon receiv-
ing an affirmative reply, be promptly put up
the cash. Ten days later he returned and
driving into the stable, he alighted and en-
tered the office, saying, ”IVeli, here is your
team and now I want my money back.” The
sum was passed to him and he turned and was
leaving the place when the livery man called
out, “Look here, aren’t you going to settle
for that team?” “For what team ?” asked the
drummer, in a surprised tone. “For the one
you just brought back.” "Well, now,”
drawled the drummer, “you aren’t fool
enough to think that i would pay anybody
for the use of my own property, are you?”
and he shook the dust. of the place from his
feet-Bangor Commercial.

THE COSTUMER IS THE BOSS.
Behind the Scenes Upon a Chinese Stage.
Harmonious Companies.
With the exception of those of the one or
two stars, all the costumes of a Chinese the-
atrical troupe belong to a stock company of
speculators. The actors pay for the use of
them, usually giving up a certain percentage
of their fees. The stars having their own
costumes can make their own terms. The
stars of the “Swintien Loh” company that
recently played in New York got a certain
share of the gross receipts, as well as asalary,
as follows:
Moo Sung J ee, $100 per month and 15 per
cent. of gross receipts; ’l‘aka. IVing, $75 per
month and ’7 per cent. of gross receipts; Sean
Sung Houg, $50 per month and 3 per cent.
of gross receipts. The balance of the com-
pany got only their salaries of on an average
{:55 per month and board.
The real boss of the troupe is the property
man, the one that owns or manages the cos-
tumes. Ho hires his agents and sub—man-
agers, and is responsible to the stock com-
pany in all his transactions. This individual
is usually in the dark. During the entire
two weeks’ performance at the Il'indsor, al-
though the boss was in the city, he did not
show himself among the actors except once
or twice, when he stole quietly into the thea-
tre and took a seat in a rear corner of a box.
This mysterious individual was Li On. It is
said that his company had invested nearly
$100,000 to organize the Swintien Loh dra-
matic company. There is no doubt the cos-
tumes cost a big sum of money, as every
piece of the gorgeous costumes was intri-
ca tel y hand wrought work and bore the
closrst inspection of artists.
A long row of big fireproof boxes, each
weighing probably about 200 pounds, lined
against the back wall, stood convenient for the
different articles of dress to be pulled out by
the three attendants; there are two rows of
temporarily put up clothes racks on either
end of the room, upon which are hung the
costumes to be used by the next batch of
actors; immediately above these are the nails
for the various and fantastical headgear and
false whiskers and masks. Each actor as he
comes in from the stage takes off his “togs,”
folds them up carefully, and lays them upon
a separate stand, to be put back into the box
by the care taker.
Chinese actors don’t waste much time in
dressing, as all the garments are made in
such a manner that the most fastidious actor
could be rigged up from head to foot in less
than five minutes. Only the female imper-
sonator, Mr. Taka Wing, takes a. longer time,
and that’s because of his hair and the out
landish painting of the face. Even he does
not take more than twenty minutes. There
isnothing like “stage fright” or “nervous-
ness” among Chinese actors, at least in the
Swiutien Loh company. They go from be
bind the scenes to the stage in some of their
most trying parts as unconcernedly as if they
were going to play fantan.
The only individuals that take their tasks
to heart are the supes, or those fellows that.
usually act as pages or soldiers to the gladia-
tors. They generally go through the motions
just before they get out on the stage. All
Chinese actors are drilled from early child-
hood. Chinese actors have the best of bar-
mony among themselves. There is hardly
ever a scandal or an clopement. They may
be jealous of each other as to women outside
of their own circle, or as to the relative
slickness and brightness of the opium pipes
which each actor owns, but jealousy of mem-
bers of their own company is out of the ques-
tion. Mr. Taka. Wing is the only pretty girl
among them. Even she is nine-tenths of the
time a pure and unadulterated man like the
rest of the company. So there is no chance
of a. theatrical scandal. They can truly be
said to be the only happy troupe in America.

Over the Footlights.
Francis IViison was asked the other day
Whether he could distinguish many faces in
the main body of the theatre while he was
playing his part. -
“Yes,” he replied, “I can generally find
my friends, if there happen to be any in the
house. I have fallen into the habit of watch-
ing the front of the house very closely for
familiar faces, and after my first scene is
over I know just where they arcsitting. I
used to think it eminently proper to try not
to observe faces in the house, but experience
has taught me that a. comedian playing the
kind of characters I am acting should keep a
very close watch on the countenances of the
people he is trying to amuse. I have fre-
quently singled out some very sober looking
old fellow in the audience for comedy prac-
tice and tried in various ways to excite a
smile from him.
“It may be along time coming, yet some
little trick may tickle his fancy, and once the
laugh does come he is sure to follow it up with
others, often excited by trivial things which
never could have provoked that first chuckle
had they preceded the joke that caught him.
I don‘t fccl any embarrassment when I see
the faces of intimate friends before me, al-
though they are often more difficult to amuse
than strangers, probably because onc's meth-
ods are more familiar to them.
“I remember 011cc when I was playing in
St. Louis in ‘Nad j y’ I saw an old fellow
asleep in the third row of the orchestra. Oh,
how he was enjoying that snooze! I walked
as close to the footlights as possible, and turn-
ing to whoever was on the stage with me,
yelled out my line in a shrill treble voice
which might have cracked the tympanum of
his car. It accomplished my purpose nicely,
for he jumped as if he had sat upon an up-
turned pin, and he kept awake for the rest of
the evening. “'9 see some very amusing
things in the front of a h0usc.”——New York
Tribune.
Washington's Duels.
II ashhigton never fought a duel, but two
duels were fought on his account. His officers
were enthusiastic in his defense, and these
duels were occasioned by the detraction to
which he was subject. The first was when
Gen. Cadwalader challenged Conway for
speaking disrespectfully of the commander-
in-chief, and on this occasion Conway re-
ceived a severe but not a fatal wound in the
head. The next was when Col. Laurens
challenged Gen. Lee for the same offense and
wounded him in the side. W'ashington was
the only general who was vindicated by his
lieutenants in this chivalrous manner, and it
illustrates their devotion. The Conway duel
took place July 4, 1778, and was an effectual
way of celebrating the day, for when Cad-
Walader’s bullet hit Conway in the head it
put a stop to his lying. In the Laurens duel
Hamilton served as second, and being thus
early subject to the law of honor it was nat—
ural that he should afew years afterwards
accept Burr’s challenge—Chicago Tribune.
The Three Cooked Hat.
Toward the beginning of 1700 the crowns
of bats were mostly round, much lower than
before, and had very broad brims, resembling
what are now occasionally called Quaker’s
hats, the protrusive encumbrance of which
soon suggested the convenience of their being
turned up in front. Fashion dictated the un-
beuding of another side or flap, and ultimate-
ly a third, so that, by this process in 1704, the
regular three cocked hat became the order of
the day, when feathers ceased to he usually
‘worn.—oBoston Budget.

BEARING ANOTHER’S BURDEN.
How a. Shy Girl of 17 Offered Herself as
a Sacrifice for Her Friend.
My heroine, whom we will call Margaret,
was a slim, fair girl of 17, shy and retiring to
excess. She lived with a. young married
couple, Mr. and Mrs. Field, and was treated
by them as one of the family.
One evening Mrs. Field was out driving
with a friend, and, as they were passing a
Mrs. Smith’s house, a slanderous report that
was current in this neighborhood concerning
this Mrs. Smith came into Mrs. Field’s mind,
and she carelessly repeated it to her friend in
the ordinary conversational tone. Mrs. Smith
happened to be out in her garden, and, owing
to the lateness of the hour and to the shrub
bery, she was not seen by the ladies in the
carriage.
She overheard a greater part of what they
were saying. Boiling with anger, she sent
word early next morning to Mr. Field that
his wife had spread an evil story about her,
and that she intended to have the matter
taken into court.
The first thing Margaret heard on coming
from her room\that morning was the bitter
sobbing of Mrs. Field. She inquired the
cause and was overwhelmed to learn the dire
ful effects that would follow if Mrs. Smith
persisted in her determination to take the at—
fair to court, for Mr. Field was already
heavily in debt, having got into an extensive
business, and if he were forced to go to law
about this difficulty his prospects might be
ruined.
Then this brave little girl came to the res-
cue. As it was late in the evening she said
Mrs. Smith had probably only recognized the
horse and carriage and not Mrs. Field, and
she, Margaret, would bear the burden, and
say it was she who had uttered the slander. If
the matter should then be carried to court
there was no one but herself to suffer, and,
although the thought of staining her fair
reputation was very bitter, she was deter-
mined to take the blame upon herself sooner
than see her friends suffer so greatly.
At first they would not hear of it, but she
finally succeeded in having her own way, and
then, donning a hat, started at once for Mrs.
Smith’s home. She explained to that lady
that she and not Mrs. Field was the one to
bear the blame, but that she was very sorry,
and that the report should go no further as
far as lay in her power to prevent it, and at
last begged that lady to forgive and forget.
And Mrs. Smith did so, finding it was only
Margaret, instead of Mrs. Field, for Whom
she had always entertained a. violent dislike.

Jack Ketch.
“Jack Ketch” was the real name of a pub
lic executioner in the time of Charles II, who
died in 1686. One of the earliest allusions to
him is to be found in the epilogueto Dry-
den’s “Duke of Guise,” 1682:
“Jack Ketch. says I. “‘s an excellent physi-
Clan.“
The gallows was called then as later the
“triple tree.” Earlier writers allude to it as
the “three trees;” Harman, in his “Caveat,”
1573, says: “Repentance is never thought
upon until they clyme three trees with a. lad-
der.” Rowiands flippantly speaks of the
fatal noose as “Tyburn tiffany.” A very
common expression in Seventeenth century
literature, but not used since, is “hangman’s
wages,” which represented the sum of thir-
teen pence halfpenny.
To find us pillories and cart‘s tails.
Or haugman’s wages,
says Butler in “Hudibras.” “W'hy should 1
cute hempeseed at the hangmau’s thirteene-
pence halfepenny ordinary?” is a. very allu-
sive and idiomaticaily expressed question in
one of Dekker’s plays. The old Scotch mark
or mark was worth a. trifle over thirteen-
pence halfpenuy, and on the accession of
James I to the English crown, it; was by
proclamation made current in England at
that value exactly. If the hangman had pre-
viously been paid ls. a day—and this was
thena common wage for officials of many
kinds—he would slightly gain if paid in the
new coin, and hence may have arisen the ex-
pression.——Gentleman’s Magazine.
Unsuccessful Attempt at Suicide.
In 1852 a general in the French army at-
tempted to commit suicide by plunging head
first from a. tall building in Paris. He only
succeeded, however, in crushing the third
vertebrae of the neck, or, as it is known to
the surgeon, the third cervical vertebrae.
When picked up his head fell on his breast, or
rolled from side to side in a manner grotesque
and horrible. To a. casual spectator the gen-
eral had succeeded in ridding himself of the
incubus of life. He was carried to a hospital
and placed on a cooling board, an act some
what premature, as subsequent events attest.
During the first day and night the breathing
of the patient was almost wholly abdominal,
a sign recognized by experts as one portend-
ing approaching dissolution. Within three
days, to the surprise of all attendants, the
breathing had become regular and natural,
but consciousness did not wholly return until
after the end of the twelfth day. The body
was more or less paralyzed for six or seven
months, and some of the limbs, especially the
tips of the fingers, did not regain their nat‘
ural feeling for over a year. The general
fully recovered in course of time, anti was
often twitted by the other officers of the
army, who told him that a man that could
live with a broken neck was not born to be
hung—J 01m W. Wright in St. Louis Repub—

Poetry as a Soother.
The testimony of John Bright to American
poetry and poets is eminently worth repeat-
ing. He averred that he owed his quickness
of imagination to a. habit he had long pur-
sued of reading a little poetry before going
to bed. No matter what the hour or what
he had been doing through the day, he took
his morphine powder of poetry. It had in
his case a sedative and genial influence,
tending to sleep. The anodyne is possibly
not a new discovery; but no public man has
ever before announced his use of it. Mr.
Bright added that he always selected Ameri«
can poets—as more clear, intelligible and
unconventional. Whittier, Longfellow and
Lowell he classed as always clear as a. run-
ning brook, as bright as sunshine and re«
freshing as breezes, While the English poets
aim at subtleties. This criticism will un—
doubted] y stand as the decision of history.—

An Unceremouious Caller.
At Harvard Rev. Dr. Phillips Brooks no-
ticed three young men Who came to hear him
regularly, and as they looked like working
men, he was more interested than usual. He
took pains to find out who they were, and
made an opportunity to speak with them.
Having ascertained where they lived and
what they did, he went one day to call on
them. He climbed several flights of stairs
and knocked at the door. All three of the
young men were in, and they were taking
their comfort in their shirt sleeves Natur-
ally they were a trifle embarrassed at being
surprised by this man, to whom they looked
up with so much respect. Dr. Brooks shook
hands all around, and then said, With his
chwrful smile, “Well, boys, it’s a little warm
here; I think, if you will let me, I will take

How repulsive is bad breath and yet
how many otherwise attracfive, elite and
particular people afflict their friends with
the foul odor of their breath. If there
was no remedy for this, it might excite
our sympathy, but as there is no need of
having a foul breath, it is an unpardonablc
breach of good manners to obtrude such
an offence on good society.
Fo‘ul breath arises from disordered di-
gestion which can be corrected by using
Sulphur Bitters, and the result will be a
pure, sweet breath.
