This Is ubout all thev can do. You seo It's been an awfully poor line for them during tho two last seasons, and now when money Is being (spent so lavishly by tho maugcrs and the pcoplo It docs seem a little hard that they should have to gtvn way to a set of not very good foreign neonlo In support of one who should be truly American euouuh to stand by hor own coun trymen. Mary has made a mlslaku hi this matter, with the profession, and has mnda a greater mistake with tho pcoplo by clinrgmg them (2.50 for seats that she was very glad to see tilled at a dollar nplece before she went to England. Sho Isn't strong enough to stand this sort of thing, and tho Idea of coming hack and charging her own countrymen more than sho over did before, ami more than sho charg ed tho Loudon pluygocrs, looks very much like sho was becoming Inculcated with tho spirit of l'attl.

It's an outrage on American playgoors to ask such prces," und Hurt skipped into n saloon near by to qiit'iich tho volcano of wrath that swelled In Ids theatrical I osom. And (he lthilto, which Is that part of 14th Street extending from Uroadwuv to (1th Avenue, Is tilled with anguish on account of Miss Anderson's action, "Speaking of charging h'gh prices for ad mission, do you know what an Immense amount of money has horn spent and Is being spout this season on stage properties, dresses, etc.. etc., In this city.

II looks upon life as a lottery where his sister drew a prize and himself a blank. None of the men In that family, that is the brothers amounted to much, and I'altl stems to have the faculty of drawing around her men who arc a drain upon her resources and aro alto gether a drawback to her. She is arranging to writo a scries of articles upon her life and icccntlons or. different court, and aflcr con slderablc bidding upon them, It has fin illy been awarded to an American puiiiisning house to bring them before the public. The Idea of writing herself up aj suggested to tier uy a western pumiMier, me editor or ine Omaha lire. Mr. Kosewo'cr, und Puttl Jumped at Hie suggestion, and Immediately wanted to know how much sho was going to make bv It. Conserjueiiily the matter wn's put into the htuidi of Miss Monroe, of this city, and the publication arranged for. When they come out In book form, If I'atll will give tho truo inwardness of hc- life, and her vnrloua recep tions, me oilers or princes, potentates, Kings, and counts. It will make an exceedingly Inter esting work. Hut the probnb l.tv Is that sho will not give these tiling. I was not surnris ed to learn Hint Nlcollnl wanted to come hack to Ameilca this season. Nlcollnl Is one of tho drawbacks to 1'attl. ns his voice Is no longer an attraction, and his temper Is simply idiotic, so lar as tier conduct is concerned. Nlcollnl Is as much in lovo with the American dollar as Pattl ever wa, and probably needs it more, since no lias iniicn to do any attraction. and consequently docs noi command mesaiar nicoi.ini woitsmrs IT. es that he formerly did. Nobody Is quicker to guago uicpuDiic puiso man uio manager or mi opera, and Maplcson and Abbey know belter than to count upon Nlcollnl as any particular attraction in opera communes o tno present and future. Consequently Paul's work must answer for both NlcultuI and lierrclf, mid also tho French Daren the married so long ago, and tho wife ami llttlo ones of Nlcollnl. Nlcollnl used to bo a gicat "masher" when his voice was In full trim, as nothing seems to win the feminine heart as much as music. It appears to penetrate tho heaviest silk baeouo and tho elojest woven corset, and Nleollui's conquests would go for to prove that music Haiti tiiariiis to roottio tue breasts of other than tho savage. However Unit may be, Puttl still clings to him. and ho llku the sensible) musician that he Is, koi ps tip tho cling on his side, und thus keeps tho divine prima donna from looking askance ot any other gentleman, even If she had the lne'lnii tton to flirt a little. The f unuv part of It Is that Nlcollnl doesn't seem to realize that his titt I actions ore gone, so lur as tho nubile are concerned, and stt 1 thinks that hlo vo ce of tho oust Is a voice for the nresent, an it that lie can charm the ear of an audience with as llttlo ITort as ho once did, that all ho has to do Is o s.lng be 'ore an Aiucr can audience, and thu dol 'lira will roll In as of yore."

Tho newest stylo of picture frames is in the woven strands of split bam boo. Tho light straw lino is well adapted to water color paintings.

In painting cornices dark colors should bo avoided, red used very sparingly, bluo plentifully and yellow and gold tho former especially in moderation. A pretty devico to sot off a small oil painting or water color drawing is to have a graceful bird with bright pltimatrn holding on to the uppor por tion of tlio framo by its beak and claws as if trying to get a footing.

A nico way to serve eggs with broiled ham is to butter some patty tins, sprinkle with lino crumbs of bread, break an egg into a saucer tnd then, without disturbing the yolk, pour it into tho tin.

The secret is lo put good fresh water into a clean, dry kettle, already quite warm, and then uso the freshly boil ing walor immediately for tea, tolleo or "the hot water breakfast drink" and before it gets sodden witli boil ing. To let water iteani until all tho lite is boiled out into the atmosphere of the kitchen and tho dregs, only, left in tlio kettle is worse, Dehnonico used to say, "than no water at all!" This simply means that tho tea-kettlo must bo emptied lrequently and dried on the tango so as to be quite hot when tho fresh water is put into it. The excellence of tho following re ceipts for keeping tomatoes is voiicliotl for by two good women who httVG proved its virtues for many years: Uliooso perfectly sound, ripe toma toes, the skin must bo unbroken, and the tomatoes must not bo soft, but should be takon from the vinos at tho stage when they have just turned red; put them into a jar, and pour over them v.nogar and water in the pro portion of two quarts of water lo ono of vinegar; turn a plate ovor Ihetn, and put a weight upon it so that tlio tomatoes will all be kept well under, then tio a cloth over tho jar, put tlio cover on and sot it iu a cool cellar or olosot. Tomatoes preserved in this way have been known to keep for mouths; it is essontial that t ho toma toes shall bo kept covered witli tho vinegar and water, for if one oven is not, it will decay and tho forinent oc casioned by it will spoil all tho others. To grill oysters, have tho griddio ready as you do for hot cakes, heated for a considerable time before on the range. When the oystnrd aro ready just touch tho griddle ovor with but ter, or fat bacon, tied up in a cleau white rag. Lay the oyster carofylly oti tho hot suiiaee witli a spoon, aud turn thorn with a spoon, not a fork. Tlio whole secret ot good grilled and panned oysters is to liavo them dry as 'dry can bo, before cooking. Lot them drain a long time in a colander and afterward put them in a doubled over and thick "tea towel," until owsry particle of outside mo'sture is removed. It is the same way with pauued oysters that aro to bo served on toast, Tho largo piece of butter in the pan should be cooking, but not brown, before they aro put in, and they should bo so dry tlmt thoy will immediately begin to brown in it. Thus the outs do cooks plumps up immediately and all the juices aro kept iu tho oystor, instead of being "tried out" and leaving it tough by tho longer cooking that u required to brown it whoti it U uot porioctly dry to begin with.
