The Stager in the Glare of Iay Some An ecdotes from the Prompter's Itux. From the Xew York Times. Tho arcana ot the stage have a fascina tion above most other mysteries.andthe assurance that any investigation of them must lead to pitiless disillusionment does not discourage or divert a prying interest concerning them. To be pres ent at a rehearsal, to see the undrapsd stage from one of the wings, and to hear how the Manager behaves toward his company when mingling among: them without an audience, to be scandalized by the conversation interpolated in the text of the diama this is a boon,sought importunately, and through many chan nels, above the most exhilarating of other diversions, and the stage is prob ablv much better for the fact that it is seldom granted. At any rate, rehears als are not so cheerful or stimulating. The stage undraped has tho atmosphere and vague dreariness of tho primitive theater a barn; tho auditorium, with the lights out and the seats vacant, gapes with magnified emptiness, and tho man ager is apt to be brusque and dogmatic. If one is captivated by the sweet as pect of some favorite actress, who has been known to him only from "the front of the house," imagine tho bitter disen chantment ho would sutler were the manner of her professional intercourse with the manager at rehearsals disclos ed. She (reciting a new part) "I have sacrificed every thing to Henry my maiden innocence, my hopes of happiness, my " The Manager (severely) "Stop! When you say I have sacrificed every thing to Henry,1 you must make a resigned gesture, as if you felt the sacrifice to be worth something ; and when you say my maiden innocence,1 try andavoid smiling, as you did just now." She (mad) "I don't do any thing of the sort." "Then it was the gas that made it seem so," retorts the Manager, and a minute later he attacks another actress in this fashion : "Miss Montmorency, "don't throw your eyes about in that way; you are always looking at the or chestra stalls." "1 don't look at the orchestra stalls," Miss Montmorency hotly responds, and, heedless of her de nial, the Manager continues : "A good actress is so enwrapped in her part that the world ends for her at the footlights." Fiddlesticks!" murmurs the lady in an undertone, as the Manager devotee himself to Miss Highflyer : Miss High flyer, pronounce the word ' harrowing' five times over, which you always pro nounce arrowing.' " " H-h-harrow -ing; there!" articulates Miss Highflyer fiercely, and the next one censured is Miss Montgomery. "I have told you, Miss Montgomery," proceeds the Man ager, " to acsume an outraged expres sion when you are asked to betray your family for gold, and you don't look out raged in the least." " I shall look out raged at the performance," insists the aciress. "Ab,thatiswhatyouallsay," add the Manager with a sigh, " and when the performance comes you are all as bad u ever." Some good stories are told of rehears als. The management of the London Haymarket once digressed from its usu al custom to the extent of producing "Richard HI.," and borrowed the necessary armor from Astley's. The night previous to the opening perform ance a dress rehearsal was held, and all went well till the battle scenes. Per haps as a joke the GUesby and Ratcliffe were not permitted to wear their bea vers up, and they wandered about like two animated Dutch ovens. None of the armors fitted the wearers, and in the final combat between the candidates for the crown, the Earl of Richmond, on lifting his arm up to strike at Rich ard, found it would rot come down again. Some of the helmets worn by the soldiers, having needed much coax ing before they could be got on the hoada of the wearers, strenuously re fused to come off again ; und an unfor tunate super, who had been upset two or three times, much to the amusement of his comrades, was so disgustod that he was heard to say, " If this armor dodge gcen on, I shall retire from the profejsion," a serious loss, which was averted by tho utter failuc of tho pro duction. An interpolation of Quinn's at rehearsal resulted tragically. Play ing in " Cato " at the Drury Lane Thea ter, Williams, who acted tho Messenger, in delivering the sentence, "Cse-ar sends health to Cato," gave such a peculiarly ludicrous pronunciation to the last word that Quinn replied: "YcSi and ho's sent a pretty messenger." Williams challeng ed him there and then, and Quinn, be ing tho bettor swordsman, readily dis patched him. Queer orders to the stage workmen arc sometimes interpolated in the lines of the part, and one of Rich ard's best-known speeches has been thus translated : Hence, babbling dreams, you threaten here in vain, Winze's that gas-man? Ulchard'fl himself again." The most experienced actor is apt to find his tongue unruly at times in per formances, and much oftener at re hearsals. Quinn was rehearsing Balance and Peg Woilington Sylvia in tho " Re cruiting Officer," a play seldom heard of nowadays. Quoth Quinn: "Sylvia, how old were you when your raothor was married?" "Mr. Quinn!" ex claimed the indignant Peg. "Pshaw! I mean how old were you when your mother was born?" "Your questions aro unanswerable," replied tho lady; " but, according to tho prompts book, I can tell you how old I was when niv mother died." An actress having to ask if somebody retained his influence in Parliament, inquired: "Does he still retain his infants in Parliament?" An other ono declared : "A candle is com ing along tho gallery with a man in his hand;" and another astonished ber fellow-players by announcing that " Betty had locked the key andcarried away the door in her pocket." Tho second act of Sheridan's "Critic" shows a rehearsal as it would probably strike an unprofessional person in the auditorium, but rehearsals are not usu ally ludicrous in any particular to those actively engaged in them, though they may appear so from tho incongruities they present to one unfamiliar with them. They are exacting, laborious, exhausting. Their chief interest is in the indication they give of tho care, study, perseverance, discipline, and drill the preparation of a play entails. The same "business" is repeated again and again with tedious repetition. The same word is uttered and reiterated with changing degrees of emphasis and in flection until what seems to bo tho prop er shade of meaning has been acquired. Tho prompter becomes petulant, the stage manager wrothy, the performers indignant. No doubt a hypercritical person will be disposed to say that the results of all this labor and anxiety are invisible at many theaters, but if the performance as ho sees it lacks finish, tho deficiency has been vastly re duced by the rehearsals. When a new play i3 being produced by a stock com pany, the training continues many weeks, beginning with undress rehear sals on the dimly lighted stage, without scenery or auxiliaries, and ending with a full-dress rehearsal as complete as the opening performance. Tho toil of th? actors who are plaving in ono piece while another is in active preparation leaves little time for sleep. The current play is over, perhaps, at 11 o'clock, and it is midnight before tho player3 reach their homes. They are called to the theater at 9 o'clock next morning to a final rehearsal, which continrc3 until 3 or 4 in the afternoon. The play is pro duced at 8 o'clock the same evening, and, as it (foes not end until after 12, the complete nervous, mental and phy sical prostration of the artists by that timo needs only to be referred to. . Cardinals in Society. Theso Princes of the Chnrch go now to grand receptions in the saloons of tho princely families devoted to the Vat ican cause, and make a splendid hour of presence beforetho dancing begins. When they take their leave when their statc'y figures, the brilliant scar let robes, red caps, sparkling chains and crosses and long, sweeping trains move grandly out of the halls between torch bearing servitors then the ball can open, but not before, for dancing is never performed in the presence of prel tes. The hour preceding the ball, when the elegant salon is peopled with the Princes of the Church, is the finest part of the whole eveving from a pic turesque point of view. Ambassadors in elegant Court costumes; officers in brilliant uniforms, all blazing with or ders; women covered with hereditary jewels and laces, sparkling and radiant, and prominent as well as pre-eminent the great ecclesiastical princes of scarlet silk. The little scarlet caps conld be seen dotted about in different parts of me aisunguisnea crowa, ana eacn rea cap was the sun of its circle. In tho deep embrasure of a window you could have seen a cardinal talking in a low voice to an ambassador, in another place there would be a circle of hand some women, smiling and gay over the courtly compliments of an eminentissi mo; a little procession would pass by juu ui a uaiuuiai aim buiuu grano. per sonage, with their friends following like a court, and. the long train, of the scar let gowns swept along the soft carpets noiselessly. Rome Cor. Philadelphia Telegraph. a Dressy parasols for the country or seashore are of ecru pongees, with spots, rings or diamond patterns of brown, red, or blue, or they are of plain ecru Songees, with bandana or Scotch plaid nings, or gay-colored linings with white polka dots. The favorite flowers for tacking on bonnet crowns are asters, marguerites, panseys and eglantine blooms, with the yellow anthers showing plainly on the delicate pink ground of the petals;. Sew Aaeec'etes ef Charles Lank. Lamb, at the aolicitatioa of a dry ac quaintance, was induced to go to a public dinner, but stipulated that the latter was to see him safely home. When the banquet was over, Lamb reminded his friend of their agreement. "But where do you lire?" asked the latter. "That's your affair," said Lamb; "you under took to see me home, and I hold you to the bargain." His friend, not liking to leave Lamb to find his way alone, bad no choice but to take a hacknevcoach, drive to Islington, where he had a vaue notion that Lamb resided, and trust to inquiry to discover his house. This be accomplished, but only after some hours had been thus spent, during which Lamb dryly and persistently refused to give the slightest clew or information in aid of his companion. Lamb was one of the most punctual of men, although he never carried a watch. A friend observing the absence of this usual adjunct of a business man's attire, presented him with a new gold watch, which he accepted, and carried for one day only. A colleague asked Lamb what had become of it. "Pawn ed," was the reply. He had actually pawned the watch, finding it a useless incumbrance. On one occasion Lamb arrived at the office at tho usual hour, but omitted to sin the attendance book. About" mid day he suddenly paused in his work, and slapping his forehead as though il luminated by returning recollection, ex claimed, loudly: "Lamb! Lamb! I have it;" and rushing to the attendance book, interpolated his name. On another occasion Lamb was ob served to enter tbo office hastily and in an excited manner, assumed no doubt for tho occasion, and to leave by an op posite door. He appeared no more that day. He stated the next morning, in explanation, that as ha was passing through Leadenhall Market on his way to the office he accidentally trod on a butcher's heel. "I apologized," said Lamb, " to the butcher, but the latter retorted: Yes, but your excuses won't cure my broken heel, and me-,' said he, seizing his knife, I'll have it out of you.' " Lamb fled from the butcher, and in dread of his pursuit dared not remain for the rest of the day at the India House. This story was accepted as a humorous excuse for taking a holi day without leave. An unpopular head of a department came to Lamb ono day and inquired : " Pray, Mr. Lamb, whatareyou about?" "Forty, next birthday," said Lamb. "I don't like your answer," said his chief. " Nor I your question," was Lamb's reply. A Woman Burnt Alive as a Witch. Early last month a woman named Agrafena Ignatjeva was burned as a witch by tho peasants in tho village of Wratshevo, in tho Government of Nov gorod. It seems that the wretched wom an, who was the widow of a soldier, had the reputation of being a sorceress and witch, and strovo to promote this delusion by every means in her power. Tho peasants of the wholo neighboring district had such a dread of her powers of mischief that they endeavored even to anticipate her wishes, and although an absolute pauper, she lived very com fortably on the contributions spontane ously made to her. There were many persons in tho district suflering from epilepsy, and it was popularly believed that tho witch had thus punished them for offending her in some way. One of these epileptic sufferers, a girl from a distant village, besought some peasants to burn tho witch, and so re lease her from her sufferings. At an assembly of headmen and seniors of the villages it was resolved to extinguish the source of mischief. They proceed ed to her hut, which they found fastened up. They broke it open, discovered the wretched woman, charged her with tho crime, and then nailed up tho win dow and door to prevent her escape. By this time over 200 men had assem bled around the hut,and amid their jeers and shouts of exultation it wa3 tec on fire, and the whole crowd remained until it was quite consumed. The sum of 21 roubles and 90 copecks (nearly 16 50) was collected and offered to the rural policeman as a bribe to secure his silence. But he rejected it, and so this terrible tragedy came to light. St. Petersburg Government Messenger. A Kentuckian's Rich Find, A special to the Louisville Evening News from Lebanon Junction sajs: This place is excited to-day over tho dis covery of one of tho richest fields of lead-ore in the West, which is located on the land of William Dawson, a farmer, about two miles east of Pitt's Point, in this(Bul litt) county. The discovery was made some days ago, but for reasons best known to parties interested, tho fact was kept very quiet until yesterday, when a message came in requesting the presence of Deputy County Clerk Thompson at the residence of Mr. Daw son, and it now appears that the object in securing the Cierk's services was to draw up and take the acknowl edgment to a lease of eighty acres of land to Messrs. Cochrane & Masden, of this place, for a term oi twenty years, in consideration of Dawson receiving one-third the total income from the lead-mines, Messrs. Cochrane & Masden to furnish every thing in the line of labor, tools, etc. Samples of the ore have been thoroughly tested, and the lead produced was found to be the very best quality. The vein is reported to be eight feet thick. This discovery, it is thought by the business men, will prove a big bonanza for Bullitt County as well as for the owners of the enter prise. How to See the Wind. Take a polished metallic surface of two feet or more, with a straight edge a large hand-saw will answer the pur pose. Take a windy day, whether hot or cold, clear or cloudy, only let it not rain or the air be murky; in other words, let the air ba dry and clear, but this is not essential. Hold your metal lic surface at right angles to the direc tion of the wind . e., if the wind is north, hold your surface east and west, but instead of holding the surface verti cal, incline it about forty-five degrees to the horizon, so that the wind striking glances and flows over the edge (keep ing it straight) as water over a dam. Now sight carefully over the edge at some minute and sharply denned object, and you will see the airflows over as water flows over a dam. Make your observations carefully, and you will hardly fail to see the air, no matter how cold; the result is even better when the sun is obscured. The School Board of Des Moines, Iowa, has prohibited rope-skipping by the pupils of the public schools on the school-grounds, on the plea of danger to health aad life, a young girl having lost her life by over-exertion in that sport.

How to Ddcrmine the Purity of Water. To detect impurity in well water, put a tumbler of it in a warm place for 10 days. Ii frco from organic matter it will remain swoct, but if impure it will begin to smell disa greeably. Otherwise a small quantity of nitric acid may bo poured into a glass of the water ; if organic matter is present it will become oxidized and turn brown and color the water in a few hours.

How to Lime Eggs. Eggs are limed by packing them in a liquid made as fol lows, viz. : 1 peck of freh Jimois slack ed in sufficient water to mako a thin paste; when thoroughly slacked, which will require 21 hours, water is sdded to thin it so that it can be strained through a fine sievo into a clean barrel, which is then filled up with water; tho eggs, perfectly fresh, aro laid carefully into kegs or barrels, and the stirred lime liquor is poured over them, a board be ing floated on the top to keep tho eggs under t ho furfaco. In this way the eggs may bo kept mx months. , . Use of Stale Bread. Toast : Soak the slices in milk which has been sweetened and mixed with 2 beaten cgg3, after which fry in hot lard and servo with fruit sauce or jelly. Pudding: Soak the bread in milk, and when quite soft stir it up fine, add 4 beaten eggs, a little salt, sugar to taste, grated rind of 1 lemon, as much more milk or water to mako a soft batter. Mix well and turn into a well greased pudding-dish, and bake in a quick oven from h to 3 of an hour. A little baking-powder may be added if preferred. When almost done, it may be made far better by putting the stiff beaten froth of the whites of 2 cggn, mixed with a little powder-sugar, on the top of tho pudding and browned slightly. FARM TOPICS. HOW TO MAKE A LAWN. A correspondent writing in the Hus bandman says: In our climate, with its hot suns and long, fierce summer droughts, a deep, rich soil is essential for a fine lawn. Thorough preparation in the way of draining, deep plough ing and liberal fertilizing are the pre paratory steps, and must be taken if we would have our lawn maintain a con tinued green throughout tho summer. It is the only foundation of success with lawns in this climate. To avoid the trouble of annual weeds it is a good plan to seed till ground in the fall. If there has been much grading and filling in it is better to wait until spring, when the settled surface can be smoothed and the seed sown. It is a good plan to roll lawns, whether new or old, in spring, to smooth the surface and tiller the grass. Top-dressing is essential, and finely decomposed compost should be applied, or a mixture of guano and superphosphate of lime. Avoid all coarse or lumpy manure. Keep tho grass cut short from the first, to cause it to grow thick and form a dense car pet. If you want a fine lawn you can not adopt the practice of letting the grass grow tall and cutting it for hay. After many trials I can recommend the following selection of seed as one that will give the best results: For one acre, two oushels of Kentucky blue grass, one bushel of red-top, one peck timo thy and four pounds white clover. Where the soil is very dry and gravelly the white clover should be increased. A Pest That Mat be Extermin ated. In every barn-yard there will be found at this season, "apon examina tion of the backs of the cattlea number of small swellings or tumors. These contain each one grub, which is the larva of Estrus bovis, the cattle gad-fly. This fly is something similar in shape to a bee, and worries cattle in August and September by stinging them along the back and depositing eggs in the skin. The cattle have an instinctive dread of this fly, and endeavor to avoid it by darting hither and thither furiously when attacked by it. This unwonted exercise is a great injury to milking cows, and in many cases is undoubtedly the cause of mysterious shrinkings of milk. Besides this injury, the poor Deast3 suffer greatly from the irritation caused by the presence of the grubs un der the skin, and when these are nu merous the animals nay fall off greatly in condition. There is but little difficulty in exterminating this pest, if a concert ed and general effort be made. The grubs are now to be found inhabiting the tumors, and in each swelling is a mall hole through which breathe, while it subturu ttpos formed ia the tumor la coaei its irritaiier Breseace. By 1 sr-ueezisg the swellings, the be dislodrcd am! destroyed, will put an cad to it so far. Krmcr or catue owner in a ne hood would do this jut now, t . WOUIU DtCOmt) pracucailT that locality.

Whipping and j overworking do not torture liko tho ( check rein. When you compel a borso t to contract the muscles just under tho I top of tho collar, in order to sustain the J head a foot, more or less, above its na tural place, aad then hold them thus 1 contracted, the strain on those muscles I goon produces great harm. If you don't I believe it, watch tho animal ; look at his ( eyes and ears! I am sure you can't mis understand that faco. Seo him carry his head around on one side, and then away round on the other side. Now in a moment you will sco him throw his noso up in front as high as ho can, ihree or four times. That Btrugglo for relief he continues all the day long. hen you tako off the check, he will hang clown his head low, and show in his faco a sense of relief which I am stiro you can not misunderstand. The long strain wastes his muscles, and produces that ugly hollow which is now so common jut under tho collar. Tho London Horse Book says : " The 1 check rein is a useless and painful en cumbrance, introduced by vanity and retained by thoughtlessness amounting to crueltv." Professor Fritchard of tho Royal ) Veterinary College (London) says. "To sum up in a word, the check rein lessens the horse's strength, brings on disease, 1 keeps him in pain, frets and injures his mouth, and spoils his temper." Dr. Fleming, Veterinary Surgeon of the Royal Engineers (London) says: " Nothing can dc more absurd than the check rein. It is extremely cruel. It is not only the head and neck that suffer, but from his head to hi3 tail, from his shoulder to his hoof, he suffers more or less." Tho eminent John Adam McBride, Professor of Veterinary Medicine and Surgery in the Royal Agricultural Col lege exclaims " Could these speechless sufferers answer the inquiries : Why do you continually toss your heads while standing in the harness? Why do you stretch open your mouths, shake your ! heads and gnash your teeth.' wny uo you turn your heads back toward your sides? They would answer: All this is done to get relief from the agony we are enduring by having our heads kept erect and our necks bent by tight bri dles and galling bits." The author of that excellent and able work, " Tho Horse in Health and Dis ease," after discussing at length the mischief done by the check rein, closes 1 with these words: "To sum up the con-! sequences of tho gag-bearing rein itj inflicts intense agony on the horse, im- j peaes ine action 01 ms muscies, ana Dy making him fractious and miserable spoils his temper." The Heart-brokem Mercaaat.
