It is frequently said, and in many capes truly said, that a prophet is not without honor save in his own coun try. This is not only true of pro phets, bnt also of many other classes of people, among them being manu facturers. How many manufacturers there are whose trade right in their own city does not»begin to compare with their sales out of town, many people considering virtue in the goods that they are brought from a distance. Once in a while, howeyer, a firm gets credit for its own baili wick for getting up a good thing. A certain baking company in this city not long ago had the happy idea strike them to get out a cracker covered with cheese. Everyone has eaten crackers and cheese, but very few people have ever heard of a com bination of the two into one article. The next point was to get the cheese to stick to the cracker. After many trials and tribulations this was final ly accomplished, and very success fully 80. This firm had no idea that the public were looking for this identical article, ao they modestly put a few on sale in their retail store and thought very little of it. In about a week tbey suddenly realised that they had made one of these lucky bits that people sometimes make. Orders began to pour in from every grocery store in the city-the demand far exceeding the supply-and soon a corps of twenty-five deftly fingored maidens were spreading cheese on dainty biscuits- It seemed as if 'he country had gone crazy on the sub jest Everybody wanted cheese wafers From almost every city in the union unaolicited orders were re ceived, and all without spending SSOO in advertising. From the first of last October to thia present minute this has been going on until now the cheese wafera made by the Marvin Bakery [for thia ia the firm] are Known throughout the land. For all sorts of society events, for evening lunches, with ufter-dinner coffee, in fact on al! sorts of occasions, these wafers are used. "Pittsburg Com mercial Gazette."

The show is constructed on a novel plan and contains many features that are ex ceedingly interesting and some that are very tunny. Of the comedians "Al." and Neil O'Brien are the cleverest. O'Brien's rendering of the "Lime Kiln Club" was very amusing and was deservedly encored. The singing was good ond the danoing by William Rowe was very artistic. Bogert and O'Brien in their musioal act presented many novelties and brought down the house.
