Two young Americans who were doing Paris last winter saw, one day, a large crowd pathercd in front of a mean-looking house in one of the poorer quarters. These jeople were strung out in a long line like those at the box-ollice of the (lymnase on the first night of a new play by Sardou, but they did not seem alert nor gay. They were wretchedly clothed, looked hungry and cold, and waited their turn at the gate in silence. Women in faded shawls and with shrunken little babies at their breasts; gaunt, hollow-eyed men, young and old, some in the blouse and cap of the French workingmen, with here and there one whote appearance unmis takably suggested the professional beggar. The air was chilly and a drizzling rain moistened the pave ment, but not an oath, nor a gruff word nor a murmur of impatience came from that motley assemblage, who stood there waiting with a mournful resignation pitiful to behold. "What are all these people here for?" said one of the Americans to a passing guardian of the peace. "For the 'Mouthful of Uread,' monsieur," replied the guardian. " 'What Mouthful of Bread,' asked the positive Yankee. "Ah! it is easy to see that Mon sieur doesn't live in this part of Paris. 'The Mouthful of Bread' is a charity organized by a gentleman named Bourreif. It has saved many a one from suicide. It must have been that the Bon Dieu himself in spired Monsieur Bourreif with the idea. Inside there it is a curious sight. Would ces Messieurs like to go in? Sec ! it is but a step !', The two Americans accepted the guardian's invitation and walked past the wicket into a large hall with bare lloors and high windows. Two long, rough tables occupied the center of the room and on benches on either side of the tables were the guests, ex actly similar in appearance and man ner to those who were waiting out side. The only armament was a wooden crucifix "at the upper end of the room. Two women, plainly dressed, min istered to the wants of the fifty per sons at the tables. One of them stood at a kitchen table covered with loaves of bread, from which she cut off enormous slices for distribution among the guests, whose tin cups she tilled with water from a giant pitcher. Bread and water seems rather a poor substitute for a dinner, and it is ditlicult for Americans who have never crossed the ocean to imagine a state of society where strong and healthy men, "able and willing to work, can die of hunger, with noth ing but the spectacle of luxury to console them ; but hundreds of "such cases occur in Paris every year, and to Jean, the mason, who has fallen upon evil times, because business is dull, and Suzette, the seamstress, whose weary little fingers are numbed by sickness, "The Mouthful of Bread" comes as a guardian angel to save -them from starvation or the Seine. After these humble guests had eaten their fill they would walk up to the matron and address a word of thanks to her before leaving, to which she responded by a gentle in clination of the head. A workman now and then came up and made his bow with a sort of proud humility that would not have disgraced a drawing room. Monsieur Bourreiff received one thousand francs from the Municipal ity of Paris to carry out his idea. This was not enough to begin on, so he raised an additional otic thousand by subscriptions among his friends. During the first ten days that "The Mouthful of Bread" was in operation it distributed five thousand loaves of bread among fifteen thousand men, women and children. Old Proverbs With Xcw Faces. Every back has its pack. Home is the rainbow of life. Men love women ; women love a man. Egotism is an alphabet with ono letter. The surest road to honor is to de serve it. A white lie often told makes a black story. The want of money is the root of much evil. If you'd know a man's character, follow him home. Only whisper scandal and its echo is heard by all. They who live in a worrv invite death to hurry. It's a poor musician who can't blow his own trumpet. He who would eat the egg must first break the shell. It's not the clock with the loudest tick that goes the best. Don't complain of the baker until you have tasted his bread. Look after your wife; nevermind yourself, she'll look after you. a ue man wno wisnes to continue believing in his friends should never put them to the proof. Clark Wilcox, ot Irwin county, Ga., raised a potato this year that meas ured seven feet six inches in length and about the size of a man's arm. He said it was long enoagh to sit on one end while he roasted the other. An American Audience. The dominant characteristic of th American audience seems to be im partiality. They do not sit in judgs ment, resenting" as positive otlenser lack of power to convey meaning o divergence of interpretation of a par ticular character or scene. I under stand that when they do not like a performance they simply go away, so that at the close of the evening the silence of a deserted house gives to the management a verdict more po tent than audible condemnation This does not apply to questions 01 morals, which can be, and are, as quickly judged here as elsewhere. On this subject I give entirely the evidence of otheis, for it has been my good fortune to see our audiences heated till the final falling of the cur tain. Again, there is a kindly feel ing on the part of the audience to ward the actor as an individual, es pecially if he be not a complete stranger, which is, 1 presume, a part of that recognition of individuality which is so striking a characteristic in American life nnd customs. Many an actor draws habitually a portion of his audience, not in consequence of artistic merit, not from capacity to arouse or excite emotion, but simply because there is something in his per sonality -which they like. This spirit forcibly reminds me of the story told of the m:.nager of one of the old "cir cuits," who gave as a reason for the continued engagement of an impossi bly bad actor, that "he was kind to his mother." The thorough enjoy ment of the audience is another point to bo noticed. Not only are they quick to understand and appreciate, but there seems to be a genuine pleas ure in the expression of approval. American audiences are not surpassed in quickness and completeness of comprehension by any that I have yet seen, and no actor need fear to make his strongest or his most subtle effort, for such is sure to receive in stant and full acknowledgement at their hands. There is little more than this to be said of the American audience. But short though the record is, the impression upon the player himself is profound and abid ing. To describe what one sees and hears over the footlights is infinitely easier than to convey an idea of the mental disposition and feeling of the spectators. The house is ample and comfortable, and the audience is well disposed to be pleased. Ladies and gentlemen alike are mostly in morn ing dress, distinguished in appear ance, and guided in even' respect by a refined decorum. The sight is gen erally picturesque. Even in winter flowers abound, and the majority of ladies have boquets, oither carried in the hand or fastened ou the shoulder or corsage. At matinee performances especially, where the larger propor tion of the audience is composed of ladies, the effect is not less pleasing to tlie olfactory senses than to the eye. Courteous, patient, enthusias tic, the American audience is worthy of any effort which the actor can make on its behalf, and he who has had experience of them would ho an untrustworthy chronicler if he failed, or even hesitated, to bear witness to their intelligence, their taste, and their generosity. Wisconsin Lawyers. A middle-aged, enterprising-looking passenger said he was a lawyer in a Wisconsin town, and the handsome, dashing young man who was flirting with a pretty girl in the front end of the car was his son. "Is your son a lawyer, too?" "No. he never comes near the office. Doesn't know any law. But he is a great help to me, though." "Assists you in court, then, or in hunting up witnesses or taking de positions, does he?" "No, 1- doesn't. The fact is, he won't work at anything. He is a gentleman of leisure, he is, and does nothing but wear fine clothes and have a good time. Don't know how I could get along without that boy." "Ah!" "Guess you don't understand me. That boy is always flirting with women, and prefers married ones. He's a rakish lad, you know, and has been the cause of seven divorce suits in the last year. Six of 'em aie in my hands, on one side or the other. If the boy does as well this year I've promised to take him into partner ship. " That Dirty Dandruff. Dandruff is dirty and disagreeable iu every way. It soils the clothing continually, and is uccompanied by a hardly less annoying sensation of itching. The scalp is diseased. There is nothing in the world so tnorouguiy ad anted to this trouble as learners Hair Balsam. It cleanses and heals the scalp, stops the falling hair and restores its original softness, gloss and color. Is not oily, highly per fumed, an elegant dressing. Very economical, as only a small occasion al application keeps the hair in per fect condition. Shiloh's Catarrh Kemedy a posi tive cure for Catarrh, Dintiieria and Canker Mouth. i?oltl by W. E.

A Danbury man was sure some one was tampering with his meal barrel. He drew a pencil line to show just how high in the barrel the meal was, and the next morning the meal was fully two inches below the mark. Then he had his idea, which was to set a steel trap in the meal. It worked well, and when he next visit ed the place the trap was gone, and there was a good deal of blood about, at which he chuckled greatly and told "his neighbor, who praised his shrewness and together they kept watch for some one with damaged fingers. Before they found him, this shrewd man went in haste one morn ing to the barrel to take out meal. There was a click, and he was caught in his own trap, hich the thief had returned and set just as he did it at first. He has had one finger Get and hopes to save two more from amputa tion. Too lmter 11 IJoso, Two actors of the opjosite sex who mortally hate each other are forced by the parts they play at a West End theater into the'most demonstrative tenderness of deportment. Some nights since, when he was playing at love, she was to rush into his arms. Being a fine artist, she did Iter work with energy, and between speeches he muttered: "You need not swal low me." She replied: "You are too bitter a dose." Another One Put on Kccord. When I was at Washington I said to the engineer of a little building at the foot of the menument: "You have a mighty tall chimney for such a small factory." He silently chalkeda mark on the board wall behind him. "What's that for?" I inquired. "You are the 17Gth person who made that remaek," was his answer.
