THE BALLET GIRL.
ON THE STAGE AND OFF PLENTY OF
FLOWERS , BUT SLIM PfJBSES
New York Correspondence of the Philadelphia
Times.
A few evenings since I was sitting
In one of the commodious boxes of
Col. Goodwin's opera house , listening
to the bird tones of the graceful
"Phoebe" as they puihed through the
choral harmonies and flew np and on
and ont to the apace , when a pretty-
faced ballet girl drooped , trembled ,
had fell , and was carried to the wing ,
where she fainted "dead away. " The
gay and festive Hoverlinwas vigorous
ly leading the applause , the bland and
decorona Bingham was shouting
"bravo , " the bright-eyed judge was
eager for an encore and the great as
semblage clapped and stamped appro
val as the bouquet laden Gutbrie
smiled her thanks from the stage.
None of these saw the ballet girl ;
who ever does see a ballet
girli Strange as it may appear
they are human and have hope and
feaia , troubles and an occasional
pleasure. I thought as I looked at
the line of girls so correctly drawn
and strictly watched by Stage Mana
ger Scanlon , of the hidden melodramas
that line could disclose if the girls
weald speak. In a company of fifty
or sixty persons the extremes of life
must necessarily be touched. Women
of grace and beauty and accomplish
ments leave the domestic comforts , as
dear to them ns to any other , enter
the field of public service and work as
the slaves of the cotton-fields never
dreamed of working. And for what ?
For fame how few of them get It
For fnn if yon knew the life yon
would never make that mistake. They
work for home , for father , mother ,
sister and brother. Tdey work for
lazy husbands and for crying children.
I ] wonder often/ when I see managers
who are coining fortunes from
the faithfnl services of their com
panies , whether they erer give a
thought to the real life of their pee
ple. In these days of competition
and combination the weak ones suffer.
I have before me now the case .of a
well-born , carefnlly-nnrterad girl of
phenomenal ability whose treatment
by her manager would scandalize a
scoundrel. And if I were to tell if
the good people of Philadelphia
would make their city of brotherly
loye too hot a place for him were he
ever to ask their patronage. I know
of young women who are paid from
ten to fifteen dollau per week and
their traveling expenses , but not
their board. How are they expected
to live ) I don't refer now to the oft-
told story of actresses who receive
from fifty toseventy-five dollarsa week
during a season of forty weeks , and
are expected to spend more than half
their salary on costumes and get along
as best they can during the twelve
idle weeks of the year. I don't refer
to them , I say , because it's an un
pleasant topic and opens into so much
and on to so many roads -that time
and space are not mine in which to do
it justice. I write now of the poorer
types. And poor they are , I assure
you. Wretches in the guise of men
flippantly joke about ( hem. Scoun
drels insult them and employers sacri
fice them. Without chorus singers
and ballets no spectacle could be a
success , no grand production could be
a go. They are part and parcel of the
essential structure , but they are not
regarded as individualities in any
sense. The chorus is an entity , but
for all that it lives and moves and
worries and throbs and suffers.
Kind o' think of it the next time
you go to the opera.
And in this connection lut me add a
word about flowtra. It is evident that
the great Power that made beautiful
women and exquisite flowers haa an
eye for the KraceB and beatitudes of
existence. He haa given ns an anala-
goua sense ( whut a hard line that is ,
"an analagous sense , " eh ! ) , and when
we see a beautiful woman we naturally
think of sending her a bcquet. But
some of ns rather overdo it. 1
chanced , not a thousand years ago , to
ba in a theater where an artiste
was planting her shapely foot on a
solid round of the ladder of success.
She waa poor. For years she had
struggled for a "chance. " That's
what wo all seek. "Give me , " says
Wbarton Biker , eiq. , "a chanca" at
the interior department , and I'll
show 'em. "Gire me , " says
the tyro , a "newspaper chance , " and
I'll make the world my slave. Well ,
this girl , after pawning everything
but herself , found a great , grim woU
standing right In front of her attic
door. The wolf's name was Hunger
and ho made himself uncomfortably
at home with her. Accident and
accident is the moving potentlallity
nine times in ten secured ; her "a
chance" in a venture. She took the
chance , with a petty weekly salary ,
and want to work. Her head was hot ,
her cheat waa sore , her arms and legs
were thin for want of food. She
strained every nerve all the time and
made the venture a success. The
manager took in money fast. The girl
became the rage. More salary ? .Not
a cent more. Why not ) Because she
bad contracted for a petty price and
manngers never break contracts do
they ?
But she got applause and flower * !
Flowers ?
Yes , and the night of which I speak
( it was just a week ago , in this city ) ,
with her red eyes Inflamed with tears
because she hadn't an extra cent in
her wallet , with her heels sore with
the rubbing of shoes she could not re
place , aho went smirking and smiling
to the footlights toTtake with tremb
ling hand from the leader of the
orchestra two immense floral tributes ,
one of which cost $100 and the other
§ 25 !
What mockery !
Twenty-five dollars in money would
have been a God-send.
Twenty-five dollars in cash would
hive bough * her the underclothes and
the clothes she literally needed.
TwentY-fiva dollars would have
enabled her to get beef , iron and
wine which the physician had ordered ,
but which she had not the spare dollar
for.
for.tf ) course yon won't think that I
advise the sending of money instead
of flowers. That would bo an insult
quick to be resented. I am narrating
facts , not tendering advice. A few
dollars spent in cut flowers , or even
for a choice bouquet , can do all the
moat extreme admirer shruld seek to
do in public. It's the thoughtfnlnesa ,
not the extravagance , that produces
an impression. If I cared to cause
real , lasting happiness , happi
ness that would start a tear or so of
gratitude , I'd find out quietly and
exactly the party's status , and in some
proper and delicate mode send her
what she most needed. There are
times when a ton of coal , two suits of
flinnel underclothes , a bird cage , a
pair of shoes , a small box of tea or
three or , four tickets for a Turkish
bath , wjuld do more toward warming
the inner cockle of a young woman's
heart than § 100 worth of flowers.
Send flowers , too. Send , however ,
flowers that can be gracefully received
and easily carried upon the stage.
About Tannin ? .
Blair PDot.
All along this Miwouri river coun
try grows , in great profusion , a weed
resembling somewhat the common
smart-weed of the eastern states in ap
pearance , but larger and of a more
rank growth. This weed is well known
to our farmers , but seems to bo more
specially at homa along the river bet
toms.
It haa recently been demonstrated
that this weed can be utilized , u It is
now known to contain properties of
great value when applied to the princi
ple of tanning hides. Oak and Hem
lock bark , heretofore considered the |
most desirable for tanning pur- ,
posee , contain respectively of tannic
acid as follows : Oak bark , 6 t * 8 per ,
cent ; Hemlock bark , o to 7 per cent. , !
while according to Prof. Aughey'a
analysis of the weed mentioned , it
contains over 17 per cent , of tannic
acid , or more than double the amount
of that peculiar property required for
tanning purposes. It has been practi
cally demonstrated that this weed
is all that is claimed for it as a promi
nent ingredient in the tanning process ,
and as it is a well known fact that the
immense quantities of hides produced
in the west are shipped to eastern tan
neries , and the leather shipped back
for use , it follows that there will be a
double advantage accruing to the
west is utilizing this weed. Tanning
can be done much cheaper than with
bark , and a saving of freight both
ways will be made. The supply of
the weed is practicably inexhaustible ,
and if the native growth should not
supply the demand it can be success
fully cultivated. So it would seem
that all that is necessary to convert
this weed , which haa heretofore been
a nuisance to farmers , into a source of
wealth to the country , ia the right
men with the necessary capital to es
tablish tanneries. Tnere ia room for
them all over the west , and "millions
in it" for these who invest. Who
will start a tannery here at Blair ?
CHINAMEN'S LBTXEBS FKOM
HOME ,
CtTHIOVS FACTS LEARNED BY THE
CLKRKS AT THE P. O. DELIVEBY
WINDOW.
N. Y. Sun.
Among the many curiosities of mall
matter th'at pais daily through the
New York poatoffice are the letters
that come from Ohlna to the China
men in this city. They are written
and addressed in Ohinese characters.
The address is on the left hand
corner of the envelope. Addresses
are always translated into English at
San Francisco.
Of the names that the translator
turns out from the curious little
marks on the envelopes , the Lees are
the most numerous. The super
scriptions , after being translated ,
retd oomewhat after this fashion :
"Sam Lee , laundryman , New York
City. " The Sam Lees are the most
numerous ; next come the Hop Lees ,
then the Wah Lees , the Lung Lees ,
the Ohung Lees and the Bung Lees.
The Wahs are not far behind. The
Lung family is not so numerous. The
Won Lungs and the Ling Lungs are
the most nnmeraons. The Yiks , too ,
are quite a colony. Sam Ling is a
prosperous laundryman. The Chin
Dhlna are yet scarce , as are the Chow
Ohows.
It is surprising to notice the number
of O'Briens and Guliina and other
[ riah names. This is accounted for
from the fact that the Ohinamen often
marry Irish women and take their
wives' names. The reporter spent an
afternoon near the general delivery
window at the post-office. The
Dhinese callcra for letters were very
few The first was dressed in bis
native costume , and wore his queue
wrapped around his head. He edged
np to the window and said :
"Mo wanteo lettee. "
The mail matter waa looked over ,
but the clerk not finding the expected
letter , the Chinaman with a disap
pointed air walked away. The next
Chinaman came in cimpiny with a
large Irish woman. She stepped up
to the window , followed by the Chi
naman , and asked :
"Is there any letther for Tim Onl-
Hns ? "
The clerk ran over the letters , and
said there was none.
"Whpre would you expsct a letter
frrrn ? " he asked.
" 'Twould be a Ohinaae letther , "
she replied. "It's fur me husband ,
Tim Cullina. Tim , step np here and
tell this gintlec&n ye wants a let
ther. "
The Chinaman obeyed meekly.
"Ma wantee lettee , samee Melican
man. Me mallied to Ilish woman ;
goeo wtstby-um-by , " he aaid.
The letter was handed out to him.
"He's afoine man , " said Mr a. Cul
lina confidentially to the clerk. He's
the son of a Ohinese nobleman , and
we're goin' home some time. Tim ,
come along , " and she led the Celestial
away.
"Do you have many such callers ? "
the reporter asked of the clerk.
"Oh , yes ; there are a number of
Chinamen in the city who are married
to Irish women , and their wives always
come with them for their mail. "
The Chinamen in this city are gen
erally frugal and often thrifty. They
are not benevolent , but their good
deeds are not overlooked whan they <
become known. A once prosperous
man of the city , who hid fallen into
evil ways , no longer sought his fireside - I
side , but frequented neighboring barrooms - !
rooms andjjdrank deeply. One cold
night a man entered a bar-room and
btgan to spend what little money
he hid in a very reckless manner ,
whila his wife and children wore
waiting at homo with no fire or food
in the home. Aa the man laid down
his last dime for a glus of whisky his
wife entered the bar room , stayed bis
hand , an < ? besought him to not touch
the liquor , but to return home to his
children , who were crying for food.
This appeal did not more the man ,
and he cursed his wife Just thnn a
Chinaman stepped np behind the
man , quietly picked up the glass and
drank it , and the husband returned
home with his wife a wiser and more
sober man
His Haie Ola Apre Ascribed to Salt.
Lorenzo A. Pickles , of Newfane ,
near Rochester , peddles trees through
out western New York. He is 70
yean old , and measures 6 feet and 5
Inches in height. He haa thirteen
sisters and eight brothers , and he is
the smallest of the entire family. One
brother , who lives in Kentucky , is 7
feet 2i inches in height , and weight
275 pounds , although he la spare in
flesh. The littlest Bister la 6 feet pi
inches tall. The family ia scattered
no two living in the same state.
Lorenzo Pickles has the appearsnce
of a man of 40. He never wean a
coat , and gees without stockings winter -
ter and summer. He has two pnpila
in each eye. To distinguish objects
close by , Mr. Pickles uses powerful
magnifying glasses. He can read print
and see things at a greater distance ,
without the aid of glasses , than it is
possible for persons with the natural
eye to see.
He never tasted liquor of any kind
In his life , and neer drinks water.
Three email cups of tea a day , winter
and summer , suffice to quench Mr.
Pickles' thirst. He never eats fresh
meat. His chief article of diet is salt
pork , although he likea meats and fish.
Ho eats two tablespoonfula of salt
every day , and prefers salt to sugar in
his tea. Pie and cake or sweetmeats
of any kind he never tasted. He says
he believes his hile and hearty condi
tion is due mainly to the salt he uses.
Mr. Pickles is a widower , but he hag
two daughters. One is 17 years oid
the other 12. The oldest la 6 feet and
a half an inch tall. The youngest is
5 feet 9 inches , and their father gays
they are both atill growing.
Injury to Baris of Trees.
The bark on large numbers of fruit
treea has been injured during the past
winter by a variety of causes. Sleet
and snow bnve caused branches to be
broken off , in many cases tearing the
bark from the tree for a considerable
distance below them. The wind haa
caused the branches of trees to rub
against each other , thereby Injuring
the bark of both at the place of con
tact. The great quantity of snow on
the ground and the scarcity of food
have caused rabbits and field mice to
gnaw the bark of young fruit trees.
Sometimes the bark has been removed
only in spots , but not unfrequently a
young tree haa been entirely girdled.
Attention sho'uld be immndlately
given to the condition of trees whose
bark has been injured In any of the
wtys noticed. In case a branch has
been broken , but remains suspended
from the tree , it should be detached
and the wound covered with grafting
wax , paint or varnish. If branches
have worn against each other ,
one or the other should be re
moved , and the wound on the other
covered with some substance that will
completely exclude the air. It is
more difficult to manage the wounds
inflicted by the teeth of small animals
on the trunks of small trees quite
near the surface of the ground , as
Injuries to the trunk of a tree affect
every portion of it. Generally the
best treatment consists -in placing
a turf of grass against the wound ,
and in packing earth closely around
it. There is an advantage in firat
covering the wood with paint or
varnish , and then applying the ear h.
In case the trunk has been entirely
girdled it will be necessary to insert
twigs cut from the tree and sharpened
at each end between the portions of
bark that remain above and below
the denuded surface. These wjll
afford means for the sap to paaa up
ward. The entire space should then
be covered with fresh earth , which
thould be well pressed down.

If you wish to avoid great danger
and trouble , besides a no small bill of
expense , at this season of the year ,
you should take prompt steps to keep
disease from your household. The
system should be cleansed , blood puri
fied , stomach and bowels regulated ,
and prevent and cure diseases arising
from spring malaria. We know of
nothing that will so perfectly and
surely do this as Electric Bitters , and
