LET US SMILE
A Good
Healthy Smile
An j where.
Ltffol Tender
It is the Medloine That We all Like
to Take.
Peck'a Ban.
A pier called The Golden P.nle, hu an artl
clo on amilen which contains the following:
The world Is Buffering for nmiling faoe.
The ago is too intense in the buaiues direction,
too flippant in the social lines, too sarcastic in
i'.m political tendency, too aimless in its re
ligious life, too heartless in its literature.
The world needs moro smilos and fewer
frowns, mora sunuhine and Ions lightning. It
cohU nothing to allow a smilo to play rentfully
up,n tho fuatnres when trading or voting,
when talking or reading. ' It pays infinitely
moro than it costs in friondrihip, in finance, in
individual growth. Wo c.tnwin more people
by a smile than we can scaro by a frown, just
as the snunhine grows more trees than tho
lightning eh at tor.
No paragraph ever containod more truth
than tho alxive. A good, healthy smile, one
that comes naturally, without being sent for.or
coaxed, one that Booms to bubble up among
the dimples like the water at the bottom of a
Hpring, showing pearly teeth like the little
pebbles thrown up by tho water of the spring,
a smile that goes rippling along the face like
tho aforoaid water among the daioies and
watnr cress, on its way to the sea, is worth
tn-jre to the world than a gold mine. Who is
there in tho world who has not boon mado bet
tor by a smile? A emiie is a legal tender any
where, and a perAoa wtio smiles naturally, is
as afo from harm as it is poHSible to bo. Alou
who grow tired of their homes, si -k of the
world, aud ready to give up tho battle, can bo
strengthened and nuiJe ready for the fi'ht of
another day by a smile, if it comes without be
ing sunt for. Ono man, with a good n ittired
mnile, can go into a crowd of grumbling,
growling, business mon, who think the coun
try is all going to the dogn, and change
the whole atniotjphcro in ton seconds.
A man with a good smile can stop a
fight between angry men, when police
men would faiL The umile of a good woman,
when ho comes upon a party of gossipers of
her own sex, will changu the subject iu a mo
ment, and make them atdiamed of themselves.
Sometimes we think it would pay a city to hire
more smiling fa. -en and les policemen to keep
tho peace. With a hundred good, natural
Broilers walking around, going into places
where men were liable to get in a hot box. with
a plcawant word where it would do the moat
good, there wonld be very few rows. Of course
il wouiu ue necessary ior our emner 10 do aoie
to back his Hinile .vith musctc, eo if au unruly
person did not take kindly to tho smile, and
knocked it around nndor the milor's ear w ith
a chair or a bung starter, the smiler could wipe
the floor with tho wretch. There would be
times when a smile would fail to do its work,
as there are times now when a smile fails to
accomplish all that it desiron to, but take it on
tbe whole the smile would bo bettor than tho
club or the revolver. There are some men who
are continually and constitutionally devoid of
Bmilee, who would lie sick if they should acci
dentally smilo, and such men should be com
pelled to pass two hours a day in tho presence
of good, single-handed smilers, and learn to bo
happy. If there is anything in the world that
has more rower than a smile, when it is shot
off from the right kind of a gun, we have never
seen it The amile of a girl will draw a young
man from his mother, and from bad corripauv.
It will teach him to be a man, and he will, if he
loves the girl, do nothmir that wonld chase the
mile awav. Tho smile of a mother can con
quer the wayward child, and compel it to come
into camp to be svauked or caressed. The
smile of a teacher can do more with a pupil
th-tn a bundle of hazel brush. A good, old-
fashioned, natural, unaffected smile co-ts noth
ing, wears out no costly machiuc-rv, but rather
oils it and makes it run smooth, and it is a
mod. cine that we all like to take, and it leaves
no badtaste in the month. Blessed if we
wouldn't like to see one this very rninuto, as
late as it is and sleepy as we are, as tho clock
tolls the wee email Lours and the compositors
yawn aud say this u copy enough tor to-night.
Tlit Value or the Texas Mnstaojr
The Rev. W. H. H. Murray writes enthusias
tically to the Boston Herald that Texas is jnat
the place for horee-brceding, and that the
tough little mustangs aro the right stock to
take hold of for improvement. He declares
that they trace their origin back to a "race of
equine kings and queens," and have only de
tcriorated under hard usago. "I have soon
these littlo 800-pound hOraos," he says, "travel
eighty miles with a 180-pound man up, under
a Southern enn, in a ride across tho country,
without roadways, from sun to suu, and that,
too, on little grain, perhaps nothing but the
grass thev get from the prairie at
night Jlany of them pace pace
like the wind pace so fast that
they play with you on the prairie, though you
have a blooded mount that can ran like a grey
hound. Others trot trot naturally with
stifles out and perfect knee action, and will do
nothing but trot, however hard pressed. I
have raced through the prairie grasses and
Cowers at the rump of a mustang stallion fif
teen and a half hands high, and blood-bay in
color, with a tail as black as night and that
would sweep the ground a foot, and been un
able to break him from his trot or range up to
his side, although my mount was a three
qnarter brod mare of I.O.jO pounds weiglit.that
took to the chase with her eyes blazing and
ears laid back in a way that plainly told her
rider that Bbe4lt a good deal as he did." Mr.
Murray advises a cross from a thoroughbred
Htal.ion, believing that it would increase the
size without losing toughness, and produce
the beet saddle-horses as well as trotters.
Florida not for Consumptives.
Popular Science Monthly.
It is not necessary to cite authorities to Bhow
that the prime need of a consumptive is that
he shall be a great deal out-of-doors,
that he shall breathe pure air, that he
shall exercise, that his entire physical or
ganization shall be invigorated. Is the
climate of Florida fitted to do th:s? I answer,
No! The climate is simply and de
lightfully soothing. Being so being moist and
relaxing 11 wai cause luuoruuiuua uupuono tw
disintegrate rapidly. Expectoration will be in
creased, and there will be no rally of the sys
tem to oppose this new call upon the strength.
Instead of exercising froely and exj audiug his
lungs as lie bhouiu tne consumptive uiva.ia
will sit listlessly on the piazzas of the hotels,
awaitiug his fate. Hundreds are seen, whero
ever yon go, so doing. Seldom do you see one
attempting to exercise and, if one is seen, he
is moving in that sltiggis-h and apathetic man
ner so characteristic of everyone living mere.
Doctors Sluist XotTell.
The Missouri supreme court has decided
that information obtained by a physician from
patient must not be disclosed on the witness-
stand, though the physician declares that the
information was acquire 1 while acting in a
professional capacity, and was noceosary o
enable him to prescribe as a physician or
operate as a 6urgeon. The court held that it
wonld not do, while the mouth of a physician
is closed as to the talk of a patient, to open
it as to knowledge acquit ed from bio own
diagnosis of the case.

Dartley Campboll Is Successful Lat

Talking to a theatrical man to-day I picked
np theso ittmn, corrector incorrect: "Tlieatroa
in one sense, are loosely carried out," said ho.
A man writos a play, for instance, in tho
United States, and his chances are very small
of having it examined. A literary man of
very respectable record in New York not
long ago wrote a play which gave himself aud
friei.ds great satisfaction, and a certain man
ager who lars a reputation for literary clev-
ernoes gave his personal promise to tho com
poser's frinnd that it hhculd bo thoroughly
reail, and promptly, too. The writer was over-
oyed, and carried his own piece to tho theatre
aud saw it laid in tho manager's hand?.
Mouths passed by, aud no word was received.
At the expiration of six months he sent for
his piece, and it was not till one year Lad
passed that he got it back, and then only
after getting drunk and going to the theatre
with a club and bthavin In a most hori
zontal manner, fulling through doora, box-
ollic-es, scroons and others things. If he had
not really scared the Louse his manu
script might nover have boon returned. Thoy
sent it back with great thanks. When he caino
t look at it ho found that some gum had boon
split over tho leaven, which had been stuck to
gether from tho time he sent it, and tlds gum
was cloar proof the leaves had never been
opened."
Well," said I to my acquaintance, who is a
pretty deep man in theatricals, "is that the
glorious way manager conduct themselves?"
""There is one tLeatre in New York," eaid he
which has employed a man and pays him a
salary to read ra9- That theatre, though it
was started bv persons new to thoatricals, Las
made more mouoy than" any concern in New
York. The money really lies in original pieocs ;
but our managers are often dull, imitative
men, who pay enormous royalties for the cur
rent stuff from Ixindon, and sometimes from
P ris, putting no other va'.uu on their fellow
citizens than a foreign heal. Here, for instance,
is the "Hiiver King" running at Wallack's. It
owes its entire strength to a few strong melo
dr imatic situations, it has neither comedy nor
character nor Doetry. Thoy have to pay for it
welL"
How much do thoy pay?" said L
"Well, it has been "bought by a speculator,
who farms it out. I th.uk ho gets about Hi per
cent of the grosn receipts at every perform
ance. The theater contains perhips Sl.tAHJ
even times a week, on which the aposnlator
will rece.vo $7U. Now, that sum of niouey
would procure the writing bv a respectable
man in tiiia country of a piay.r'
Are there maay plavs written by Ameri
cans :"
"Oh, yea; the production has been very
large for some time pant. The Madison Square
theater has been paying good prices for play.",
and has made money all rho time, both iu New
York aud on tho road. "Iij. Unrnott has con-
c tided a contract for a.ioh.r play with them.
II rou sou Howard probabiy has made a contract
for another one. They look ahead, and do not
play the Bohemian like most of our mnnagerR,
who seem to have licilhor bow nor helm, nor
center-board."
"What do you suppose a woman like Mra.
Burnett would got for her play?"
'I merely guess when I say that they pay her
SI,.) on signing the agreement, give her 51,
OtHJ to each act as it is produced, and then pay
her from 10 to --O per cent, of the gross receipts
after tho play begins. That is way to bring
out the quaiitv of anybody who has got it, to
put them unJcr the Lighi-ot pressure of com
petition." "How does Hartley Campbell do with his
prices?"
"Campbell ie now worth about 940,000. He
drinks champagne whero ho used to drink
beer. I said to him the other day, seeing him
before a bottle of yellow label: 'Hello! Have
you already come to this?' 'Now,' said he, 'I
am cot half as happy as when I drank beer.
Mv happiest days are over. There was a time
wiien I could not pay my printing bills, t ike
my company out of town without owing part of
mv board bill, and could not buy railroad
tickets for them to tho next point, but said to
the conductor: "Jim. you must let me slide on
half the money and tv:e the rest out in tickets."
'Ah, Baid Campbell, 'those were golden days.
Now I can draw a cheek for my company and
amnolonirer cahoots with the conductor, and
drink champagne : but I am comparn tively mis
erable. Success does not succeed.' "
"How doos Campbell make his money?
"Why, he hires his manager as vreil as his
company, tie procures a man acquainted wttn
the profession to get mm up a compauy 10 suit,
his price, and, therefore, need have nothing to
say except to object to such a part being im
perfectly represented. While he is not a man
of strictly literary capacity, he is a man of
very good" dramatic capacity, and having lost
money by writing over the heade of his audi
ence, "now writes toward "he hearts luid seldom
misses it."
"Do you think that the New YotK theators
draw the money they ought to?"
"No. Their iguoianc, laziness, frejudica
and superstition keep from their doors thou
sands of people wh would cnltivat a native
drama which would arouso the liiCary in
stinct In France the be:t patrons ef the play
are peopio who oither think they covld write
one or who regard the support of the original
drama as a part of patriotism. Hie stage has
become in our time the indication of a na
tion's mental resources and love of country.

pie:-es and German pieces, aud even the Ital

foreign pr3&. It affects to treat matters from
all no-tions of the United States like tho Lon
don Times treats the operations of Frenchmen,
Socialists and Nihilists. The tone or this press
is givtui to it by a set of emigrants, who 0pe-ir
not liable to arouso the jeaionsy of its obscure
native managers. We have a few play-writers
whorte pieces draw money on the other side of
tho water, but they are hardly noticed in tho
New York newspapers. Here are MeK.ee Ran
kin's two plays, each of which has run in Lon
don a whole "season, and you would find in
Loudon that they were by an American author,
and his nmo exploited; but in New York you
wonld have to go into some actor's chop
house to inquire who wrote the piocee, and
then you wouid he ir that the actor did it him
.self so great is conceit Most of our actors,
after they get a piece a few weeks, go around
with a swagger and call the author a
great villain. 'I got the piece from him,' says
Strut, 'and it wasn't worth a damn. I built it
no it's mine In short the New York sts,ge
to-dav has some of the moit provincial attri- -
butea" on the earth. They will buy failures
from London, and have lawsuits over failures
from Paris, because they really do not know
anything about theatrical work. Lester Wal

Of the Relation f Mexico and the United
States.
Fortnight Pvlew.
Notwithstanding the extent to which it has
lately occupied tho attentiou of our foreign
office, Mexico is hardly butter known to moat
Englishmen than Central Africa. A few prom
inent names of men and places, aud 0 few
vague romlnisccnwH, sum up all the word
conveys to the average Briton who is not peci
ally duvoted to trade or travel. Cortaz, Mon
tezuma, Popacatepeti, silver miues, brigauds,
revolutions form tho concise but not luminous
anmmary of Mexico, it history and pro
ductions. It is not so with tho peopio of tho
United States. A great aud increasing interest
In all things Mexican exists at present, not
only at the trade centers nearer the Mexican
border, such as Galveston and New Orleans,
but further oS at St Louis, Boston, Chicago
and New York. AlLjjhcee cities are vying with
each other to eecuro the lion's share of the
Mexican trade, and steps are being taken to ot
np in each a Mexican exchange, with a view to
obtain this objoct The reason for tliis is not
far to seek. Travel develops education. All
Americans are educated up to a certain point,
nearly all Americans travel, and their Ideas
are not . cramped by local sur
roundings. The commercial instinct is
universal, and the whole of a large continent is
looked upon as a field for thoir euterprisa

the prudence to plan, skill to combine, and
perseverance tj carry out have boen turned
into chanufels of indostrial and niorcautilo

presidents of railroads, and generals of divi
sion are turned iuto general managers. Cin
cintiatus, as of old, betakes himself to agricul
tural pursuits, but ou more extended scale.
Tho ltistorie half-acre of turi.ips is represented
by a cattle ranch in Texas or a wheat-farm in
Nebraska, meaaurod uot by aives but by squarw

gold aud silver, has l-.en called tb

variety and extent in any other part of the
continent It is, they tell us, the same as if
England should suddenly find a Japan or India
ou Lor border, and separated ouly by the Tweed
aud an invisible frontier line. All the tropical
produce now gathered from the Kast
Indies, from China, from lauds beyond "the
bridge of the world," is to be cultivated
on their own continent, and relatively
close at hand. There is at once, they
say, au outlet for American manufactures, and
a garden and a homo farm to supply them with
cottee, sugar, fruits, drugs and tobacco, with
out the time and risk interposed by the ne
cessity of a sea voyage. To bring about this
desirable consummation the first step is to join
the two countries by a railroad. The City of
Mexico must be brought within a few days'
journey of St Louis and New York. A direct
highway must be provided for unbroken inter
change of the varied products.mineral, vegeta
ble and auimxl, of Mexico's three zonos ou the
one hand, and the mining and agricultural ma
chinery, tue clothes, furniture ana domestic
appliances, the thousand and one articles of
comfort, luxury and necessity comprised iu thu
tnu "dry goods and notions" ou the other.
Tho American merchant is, of all tho mce of
gain-seeking men, the most quick to diviuo
where the conditions of profitable trade exist,
and by no means slow in acting upon his con
victions. With characteristic promptness, as
boon as a Bettled government was proved to be
established in Mexico, they prepared to build
railroads, and subscribed for that purpose sev
eral millions of dollars. The Americans, with
all their passion for making money, have no
idov of hoarding it Tho dollar is almighty
only as long as it can breed. It is a part of the
Yankee faith that if yon cast your bread upon
the waters, if thoy flow in a-jcertaiued business
channels, you will find it, in this age of rapid
development, before many days. In under
takings of a novel character, 'it Is their way
not to wait till others have tried the ground,
but to be llrst on the field, and to monopolize

"Please don t ehoot the pianist Ue is a t g
