Henry Irving Did Not Know Signature
of Prince of Wales.
In J88IJ Iho prince of Wales was
jmuch mien-sled in ( he ercation nnd
organization of the Colli-go of lusiu
lin Ivondon. Jlc i-nut-ed it to be inti
mated to the Into Sir Henry Irving
that it would show the interest of
another nnd nllicd branch of art in
, thc undertaking if the dramatic art
ists would give a benefit for the new
college. The prince even Htiggualcd
'that "Ifohcrl Maeniro" would do ex
cellently for the ( K'cnsion , with an all
stnr cast.
Of course Irving wns delighted to
help , nntl the result was a pplendid
performance , at wlm-h the prince
and princess ofYnle * attended , nnd
a sum.of more than 1,000 was
turned over to the college the en-
.tirc receipts. Irving himself , says
; Mr. Brain Stoker in his "Personal
fttcminisccnccs of ITenry Irving , "
paid all the expenses.
'In the lirst year of ita working ,
when the class /or dramatic study
wns organized , Irving was asked by
the directorate to examine ii , which
he did cheerfully- in due time
iniulo his report. Soon afterward he
received a letter of thanks for his
services.
' Although quite formal , it was a
most genial and kindly letter , and to
the signature was appended "Chair
man. " In acknowledging it to Sir
i George ( Jrove , the director of Ihu
college , Irving paid what a plensure
it had been to him to be an examin
er , and assured Sir George that he
would gladly hold his services at the
disposal of the college , lie added
to his letter this postscript :
"By the way , who is our genial
friend , .Mr. Edward , chairman ? I
do not think T have met him. "
JIo got a horrified letter sent by
messenger from Bjv George , explain
ing that the signature was that of
"Albert Edward" then prince of
"Wales , now Jlis Majesty lUdward

WOMAN'S NOSE IS FAULTY.
Man's Power of Scent Five Times
More Delicate Than Hers.
An English doctor , having arrived
, at the conclusion that no woman was
a judge of wine , started a scries of
experiments recently to determine
'tho reason. lie started out with the
( proposition that the feminine taste
was so bad that a woman could not
| cvcu distinguish whether a sample
'of ' wine was very good or very bad.
He located the incapacity in the
IECUSC of Hindi. A woman's sensitiveness -
, ness to odors ho appraises far below
; thnt normally possessed by men ,
The experiments were made by diluting -
[ luting essences with pure water and
testing the limit of strength at
ivhich men and women could detect
hem and distinguish their chnrac-
cr.
cr.The average man , it wns found
could easily detect the presence ol
cmon essence diluted with 200OOC ,
times its own bulk of water. Womci
could only recognize it in a mixture
of one part in10,000. .
He concludes that the reason whj
some women use large quantities o :
) Crfumo is that their sense of smcl
3 specially obtuse and that they onlj
obtain from a considerable quantity
of can do cologne or perfumed toile
Avntcrs the same sensation that i
man would gain from a drop or two
BALLOONING THE WHIRLWIND.
llulluoning across the country in i
whirlwind is one of the sports which
says the London Globe , one must b
an aeronaut quand memo to enjoy I
the full. Such an experience fcl
to the lot of two French gentlemen
MM. Lee and Wawaek. They wen
up from Bordeaux at 11 p. in. , unil
with the "witching hour of night
drawing on , were caught up in
powerful hurricane and \vhirle
away with a rapidity which fable it
self never claimed for the witch o
her broomstick. Prom Bordeaux t
the Pyrenees they were carried i
a couple of hours.
BUTTER.
Mattie Sheridan , editor of a Ne
York periodical , is one of the briglv
cst wits in that big town. One nigl
when the Hungry club , of which si :
is the presiding genius , was dinin
at the Billy Goat , a member showc
signs of annoyance.
"What's the matter ? " she ii
quired.
"There's no butter. "
"What , " she exclaimed , throwin
up her hands , "no butter at tl
Billy Goat ? "
And the void was filled. Febn

LEARNING TO TALK WELL.
Women Have Inctltuted Classes In
Voice Culture.
So many ugly things have been
said about the American woman's
voice that her pride has been aroused
nnd she has now set herself the task
of abolishing all grounds for criti
cism of her use of her vocal organs.
Classes in voice culture arc the
latest thing. The pupils arc not
learning to sing. They are learning
to speak English benutifully nnd
miiRicnlly.
They are ( might to breathe prop
erly , to enunciate dearly , to speak
in mellow , throaty tones and other
wise to correct the "nasal , whining ,
slniflling' ' speech whereof they have
been accused.
The exorcises may be practiced at
home. They include particular care
to speak deliberately and with pre
cision ; reading aloud to one's self
a good hour each day , and closing
the eyes nnd focusing the thought
upon the voice while practicing to
make it so delightful thnt if one
heard it coming from the next room
one would desire to meet its owner.
With nil these practicing : ) a ncc-
f'ssnry thing is to keep mind nnd
body in good condition , for the voice
is quickly afl'cctcd by a sluggish con
dition of either. An unpleasant ,
meandering , irritating manner of
speech rarely , emanates from a per
sonality thnt is keen , direct and
wholesome.
DIME NOVEL IN GERMANY.
Practically extinct in America ,
the ' 'dime novel" is said to bo ravag
ing Germany. According to Johan
nes Siebert , most German boys
prefer an Indian story to any
other book. Their hearts bent fast
ns they read the adventures of trnp-
, pers and settlers , gaze with awe into
'wigwams , and hear the howls of the
V-6lVes. This interest began with
the publication in 1823 of "The
Spy' ' by Cooper , followed soon by
bis other stories. These novels ,
however , did not FCOIU quite suitable
for boys , so they were bearbcitcL for
the young folks. Later the adapters
began to construct their own plots
and incidents , outcoopering their
.model in his most adventurous
moods. The results , says Siebert , arc
'terrible ' to contemplate. There arc
in Germany i.bout 300 "Grosso"
'firms , with 3,000 travelers , to sell
such books. An edition of 100,000
is not an unusual thing. They arc
adorned with glaring illustrations ,
and one may buy such a volume ol
perhaps -30 pages for less than a
dime.
RUNAWAY STARS.
There is in the constellation oi
the Great Bear a famous little stai
which has been called a ' 'runaway' '
.because of the extraordinary speed
with which it is moving.
This little star is so far away thai
the effect of its motion can only be
noted by careful astronomical ob
servations. Prof. Newcomb has sail ;
, of the star , which bears the name
" 1830 Groombridgc , ' ' that the unit
ed attractions of the entire univors <
could not have set it going with sucl
velocity , and would be unable to ar
rest it.
Some years ago Prof. Kapteyr
announced the discover } ' of a tele
scopic star in the Southern hciuis
phcrcj in the constellation Pictor
which appears to be moving consid
erably faster yet. What its ren
velocity is , however , can only be dc
tcrmincd when its distance is inatli
known.
ROUGH ON DEPEW.
Mrs. Depew , wife of the senator
tells a story of her wedding torn
They had among their follow passcn
gcrs a stodgy , slow-witted Scotch
; inan who liked the conversation o
'the ' orator , though he did not kuo\
him. "That's as Chauncey lepo\
always tells the tale , " said Mr. DC
pew , finishing off one of his storio ;
"What like is this ( . 'hauncey DC
pew ? " asked the Scot. ' 'My dear ,
said the humorist , turning to hi
bride , "what does Dopow look like ?
"Very much as you do , 1 imagine ,
answered the lady. "Surely , niadan
you do your husband an injustice ,
answered the Scotsman , with a gcs
hire of expostulation and protest.
CHEERING.
"Sir , " said the young man , "wi
you permit me to pay 1113 * addrcssc
to your charming daughter and tr
if 1 can make her love me ? "
"Certainly , my dear boy , an
there is no reason why you shoul
not sin-coed. Lots of others have. "
A Toilet Tragedy.

"No girl on the block has a waist that'

She murmured with fast swellltn
pride ;
" 'Tls a pity to waste It to graduate In
" 'TU just lovely enough for it bride,1

Then , reversing her spine , touched hei

While the buttons played tnjj tillshi

She cut letter "S's" ' all over the room
She writhed like a man on the rack
