Their real life is tinged with their theatrical life, and ligh-wronght melodrama a second nature to them. Few of them have a perfectly sane notion of existence ; they exist in the feeling of the moment. They ere generally incapable of taking an inter est in the ordinary occupations of their sex ; at one moment they are in the wildest spirits, at another in the depth of despair, and those with whom they come in contact are alternately either melodramatic villains plotting their destruction, or angelic beings that have no existence out of plays. If they are asked why they love or hate, they 1nuist that they are endowed with a peculiar instinet, and this instinot they exalt as something far superior to practical in- telligence, and glory in being its sub- missive slaves. There ave certain qual- ities which go to make an actress, and most of them go to make a lunatic. All nctresses are, of course, not neces- sarily mad, but if I were on a jury im- paneled to try an actress for murder, I should approach the inquiry with the feeling that nature had probably not been lavish to her in that harmony of intellectual powers which produce moral responsibility, Actress, becomes a, “ Diamond Cut Diamond.” Crossing the Kocky mountains once, BAYS A eorrespandent, 1 RAW An amusing illustration of the hardness of cornndum.

Dean, of Worcester, Mass, traveling agent for a manufac turers’ firm, bas adopted a unigne mode of locomotion birdie in business tours. Mr. Dean started from Worcester early in the summer, visiting most of the manufac turing villages of Northern Massachu- sotts, crossing over into New Hamp- shire, and canvassing the manufactur. ing districts south of the White moun- tains. He then went through Western Maine, back into New Hampshire, north of the White mountains; through Northern Vermont down the western side, crossing over to the Connecticut river, down the river valley, through Massachusetts to Hartford, Conn, and back to Worcester via Springfield. These journeyings oconpied five months, out of which about twenty days must be taken for delays on the road, leaving about 110 days of actual travel, averaging at least thirty miles per day, making a total of 5.300 miles. Even in the mountainous districts it was seldom that any number of miles of impassable roads was found. Perhaps one mile in fifteen, on an average, had to be walked, and frequent runs of ten miles were made withont a dismount. ¥From the small number of days lost out of the five months it will be seen that some traveling must have been done in stormy weather, and only when the roads became very muddy from a pro tracted storm was a halt made necessary. All necessary samples and baggage were earried on the machine, the most of the baggage being sent on ahead by rail, however. Mr. Dean proposes to start ont again on similar trips next season. He regards this means of travel as on- tirely practical, even in the rough re gions he passed through. He reached places that would not have been discov. ered from a railroad, and actually ac- complished the distance in less time than could have been done by rail over the same sections of country. The ac- quaintance with the districts visited obtained by this means of travel is val- nable also, and not the least of its ad. vantages is the healthful effect of the exercite and air. A marked change in Mr. Dean's appearance resulted from this trip, and he states that he gained twenty pounds in weight. ne 55 supplies his The fs of Life, What a potential word is that little “if.” without which all things might be different!

He states that a room hung with an ultramarine colored pa- per gave out a most disagreeable smell of sulphuretted hydrogen, the source of which for some time escaped detection. Eventually, however, a close examina- tion was made of the paper, which led to the conclusion that the deep blue wall paper was slowly undergoing a pro cess of decomposition under the infin ence of the alum in the paste used in hanging. This appeared to be confirm- od. for on steeping a piece of the paper in a very dilute solntion of alum it gave off sufficient sul yhereted hydrogen to be quite percept] ile to the nose, and to blacken lead paper, Highwaymen have so often rifled the bullion and coin-bearing treasury boxes of Wells, Fargo & Co., while in course of convevance through the counties of Placer and Eldorado, in California, that the company has determined to discon. {inne its service in those counties, al- though it has been maintained nninter- ruptedly since 1842.

This old sol- dier. after having dined with his royal friends, always manifested at a certain ness, as if wishing to depart, whileat other hours of the day he was only too glad to stay and have a friendly chat. But after dinner he always showed this great anxiety to go home. Louise was puz- sled at the old man's strange behavior, and resolved to find out the cause. She made inquiry of his steward, who, aftdr a few questions, explained that the old general had indulged for so many long years in the habit of smoking a long pipe after dinner that he could not possibly do without it. The next time the old general came to dine he exhibited after the repast the same nervous restlessness, and rose to take leave. Whereupon Louise rose, too, and said: * Wait a little, general; I want to the next room. On her return she held a long pipe already filled in one hand and a burning waxlight and a “spill” in Handing the pipe to the as. tonished old man and lighting the spill, she said: “There, my old general, make yourself comfortable; this time you shall not desert us.” : ars Bom Ladies, save your old autographs— they may become valuable.
