A Philadelphia lady who has just re turned from a long visit in Loudon waa recently discussing certain domestic points peculiar to England and compar ing them with relative matters here. 'Voall know," shosald, "as housekeep ers, tho worry wo have if our kitchens nro in tho basement, though thoy bavo elevators and dumb waiters, stationary -washtubs, hot and cold water, aro carpet ed and fitted with every conceivablo con venience. In a Loudon house tho kitchens uro always in tho basement no elovators, no washtubs, and by no means any 'frivolities' in tho way of conveniences. But an English kitchen is a picture, nevertheless. The bright tins and coppers, tho burnished dish covers ranged in sizes, tho well stored cupboards, tho many tables for every conceivanio purpose, mo rango oi tho most perfect make and largo size and tho entire ab.enco of tho dirty part of .the kitchen work, which is confined to tho ad joining scullery, make a contrast ing picture of aggravation to us, who, while we adoro all these kitchen virtues, .seldom arrive at them. Though our 'kitchens in Philadelphia be largo and niry, our help, as a rule, aro incapablo of sustaining tho dignity of an English cook, who is a iersou of dignity and re vepectability. We pay high wages, givo igreat privileges and aro not allowed to order our own dinners and, at any into, aro not expected to reorder tho remains," Philadelphia Press, A Trick nf Nupiilmm'H I'iiHIhiiih. Archbishop Whately, commenting uion tho effects produced by rumors, mentions tho great influence of ono re port which preceded Bonaparte's return Irom Elba. When tho return had loen plotted, anil ;jju8t before it was executed, Napoleon's martisans went throu ,h Franco seeking I (and to purchase. When about to close i tho bargain for a Held, thoy would ask to 'bo shown tho title. If they found, as thoy generally did, fthnt tho fled was land whichjiad lx;on confiscated at the Revolution, thoy broke off tho negotiation at once. The title, ithey declared, was insecure; for tho Dourlxm government of Louis XVIII did ot recognize tho legality of tho act of iconllscution. Their acts and words spread through out Franco the rumor that tho BourlionH mcditutcd the resumption of nil these lands tho chief part of Franco to re store them to tho former owners. Tho rumor, JJius artfully started and spread abroad, caused thousands of peasant pro prietors to welcome Napoleon's return, because thereby tho downfall of tho Bourlxms would occur, Youth's Com panion. I'lty tlm I'oor Woiiiim. A State street physician gives it ns his opinion that four-fifths of tho earnings of his profession are derived from wo men, though in this estimate he does not include tho very largo und prosperous class of HH"cialista whoso services aro re quired by men only. It Is a sad com mentary tt)on the morals f tho com munity tho existence and .irosperity of hundreds of such hccitil' .a for men, and tho picture is less encouraging on tho othor Bide, where so many women with health impaired by foolish dressing, im proper diet and violations of the laws of nature, maintain an army of medical practitioners. It is only among civilized peoples that women are less healthful than men. Let doctors und the common unnlso tell why this Is so, Tho fact ro- .tnalns that there may bo seen on tho streets of Chicago twenty strong, hand some men above the ago of !)0 to one wo- man. Tho woman who is able to retain her youthful comeliness beyond 80 is tho exception. Good looking men of middle or even advanced ugo are as common as flagstones, while a handsome matron is almost it curiosity. Chicago Herald. I'ustrl I'MlutliiK In i:itgUml. "Pastel painting Is once more finding patrons in England. The snleudld por tralU which Alfred Stevens lately exhib ited in Brussels were enough to make ifashionublo peoplo eager to rovive tho .art. In Paris there is a society of pastel painters, One of tho members, M, La case, lias discovered a process by which Iwmanoucy is insured to tho colors, and t lias received tho official approval of the society.

AT THE ONE NIGHT STANDS. Actor XV. J. J'liirrnco tllvca Sonio of Ilia KxpcrlriicM at llio CIiciiimt Tliputrcn. The one night stand is commonly made in a theatre owned and managed by some fairly successful bill poster or aldermnn or real estate speculator, who knows as much nlxnit a play house and the way it ought to 1)0 run ns I know about tho Sanskrit originals of Mr. Arnold's poems. A good many of these theatres are on upper lloors nlxvo shops and oflices. They are approached by flights of narrow and winding stairs, and I never go out of one without thanking my stars that there lias !)oon no lire or panic during tho night. Queer things happen ' these up stairs places once in a wfile. John Mo Cullough was playing "Hamlet" in a the atre of this sort sonio years ago. Just beneath tho stage was a furnace, attached to a bakery or something of that kind, I Iwlieve, and when the trap was oimuic'I for the grave digger to get in, a gush of hot air came up that was stilling. The curtain went up, and you can waget that tho grave digger made lively time getting that pit ready for Ophelia. The sweat iK)ined from the poor man in streams, and ho piped his little song ani' whistled bis little speech and got out ol there with a jump. When the queen came to scatter flowers on Ophelia'B cof II ii the hot air caught them up and wafted them into the flies, for they were made of tissue paper. Tho curtain cut oir that scene with u roar fiom tho audi ence. In these cheaper theatres tho manager does not attend to business, but lets tho house "run itself," and whatever you need in tho way of properties you must lx?K, borrow, or buy, for ho cannot be looked to, or, at least, relied on, to fur nish a sofa, a lire screen, or a pitcher of water. The only time that he is punctual is when tho business man is counting up receipts. The "stage" in these theatres is usually small, tho scenery bad, tho picked up orchestia set your teeth on edge, tho programmes are cheaply printed and full of errors; lighting, heating, ven tilation and cleaning are subjects that tho proprietor has not brought himself to consider, and you iegin your night's work under most discouraging circum stances. You change your clothes in a perfect sty of a dressing room, with cold nir whistling through partitions of un paiuted boards; you wasli in n battered tin basin; you "make up'' with a light on only ono side of your face, and there is no look on your door. Then you go to your hotel and there's another precious circumstance. Hotel life in cities, ns, a rule, is not had, especially if you bavo your pick of rooms and name your hours for meals, but you should seo some of the hotels out west, and, worse still, down south. To all appearances they nro comfortable and clean, and a glimpse of tho dining room, witii white cloths and porcelain and black waiters in place, is like a promise of merry sunshine; but wait until your din ner comes hog, hominy, hog, water, hog, dry bread, then more hog. Every thing swims in pork fat, and tho cook throws in sand and cinders by way of seasoning. A troupe that struck a town in Georgia one day when the regular dinner was over could not get a blessed thing to eat but bacon no eggs, vegeta bles, bread, butter, coffee, milk or tea just fried bacon. Tho star of tho troupo glared over the table and went uway, followed by the rest, and bought some crackers in a grocery. Then there aro tho hours. You get through your play at 11, go to your hotel, riso at 4 or 5 to catch a train for your next stand, get there at noon, hnvo something to eat, skirmish nround for properties, perhaps rehearse, eat your dinner, go to tho theatro and act and often have to take your next train di rectly after the performance. But thoto from these grumblings one might fancy an actor's life to be all shadow and no sunshine. I have not dwelt on tho pleas ures of tho life because thoy are more ap parent, and everybody knows them the kindly appreciation of the public, tho good words one has from press and peo ple, tho odd and interesting sights and adventures one meets in traveling, tho Information that even the dullest picks up when ho knocks around the world for home years, tho friends one makes and tho intervals of ease and comfort that come when an actor has established his reputiv tion and his play has looonio popular. An actor's life, like most men's lives, has more pleasure than pain it. W. J. Flor ence in New York World. Hindi of tint Wct Initio. On tho road wo met barefooted darkeys, plodding steadily along, who gladly returned our salutations, and turned to stare at us as long as wo wero in sight. They carried everything with which thoy were encumbered on their heads cocoanuts, jugs, coffee pots, cups, bottles nil as securely balanced as If those articles were a part of the anatomy of their lH'arer. Tho children, mere pickaninnies, toddled along with cans and calabashes of molasses, yams, liananns, oranges, or what not, as firmly fixed on their ernnin as if they had ltoon wens.

A Mrs. Blank was Binding tho sum mer in tho country, ami was very anxious to catch a certain train, As that event seemed, from the leisurely gait of tho horse, extremely uncertain, she urged the country driver to make the beast go faster. Tho coachman plied whip and reins with no aptartut etTect, while the lady alternately examined her watch and encouraged tho driver. At last, how over, her patience lecanio completely ex liaustcd, and, espying h place in tho tough hide of the btolid brute whero tho harness had chafed, she cried out vehe mently: "Hit him on the raw, Mr. Cas&o booml nithlmonthoruwl" "Ma'am," responded Mr, CWebcoiu, with unmoved gravity, "I'm a savin' tho raw till we ootue to the hill."
