Not only will the bed-slat fall with the slightest provocation, but it will never miss an opportu- hity to creak. Housewives have exhausted the resources of the feminine-intellect in endeavor- ing to put a stop to the creaking of slats. The extremities of the slats have been heavily coat- ed with soap without in the slightest degree checking their readiness to creak. Strips of cloth have also been carefully wrapped around the slats. This has occasionally put a stop to creaking, but only at the expense of greatly in- creasing the tendency of the slats to slip out of place. “In most cases the attempt to improve the character of bed-slats is soon abandoned, and it is only the sanguine and inexperienc woman whe imagines that they can ever be wade anything but a care and a vexation. The most remarkable feature of the plague or bed-slats is that it is wholly unnecessary. The bed-slat is simply the survival of the principle mn.

From the New York World. < A well-known gentleman of this city who at- tended the performance of Mr. Wyndham’s play of “Brighton” on Friday evening of last week, and who occupied a comfortable seat in the middie of the parquet, was much electrified at an interesting moment in the entertainment by feeling something fall, apparently from the ceiling of the theater, into his lap. Hastily glancing downward, what was his horror to see a complete set of false teeth sharply defined on his faultless black evening trousers! In his astonishment he clapped his hand to his mouth to assure himself that his own apparatus of mastication was in its proper ~ lace and in good condition.

Is there a dentist up there?” While the treasurer and the gentleman were conferring together the anxious face of an Ameri- can lady of Atrican descent was thrust over the shoulder of one of them. “Well, honey,” she exclaimed, “If you haven't got my teeth. I done Just come to get them.” The box-officer turned and looked sternly at the woman. “Open your mouth,” he said. ast y' sclosed a complete and magnificent set of glittering grinders. eee — ~ LA mean Es claiming ese teeth?” the box-keeper. “How many sets do you wear?” = Thus driven into a corner, the American Ind; of Al after a little person to interfere in the |.

Their flowers are tor the most part crowded together in large tufts or heads, each containing a considerable number of minute separate blossoms. Even among the true lilies we find some cases of such crowding in the hyacinths and the squills, or, still better, in the onion and garlic tribe. But with the wind-fertilized rashes, the grooping together of the flowers has important advantages, be- cause It enables the pollen more easily to fix upon one or other of the sensitive surfaces, as the stalks sway backward and forward before a gentle breeze. Among yet more developed or degraded wind-tert! planta, this crowding of the blossoms becomes even more con- spicuous. A common American rush- like water plant, known as eriocauion, helps us to bridge over the gap between the rushes and such Siggy oe flowers as the and grasses. Erlocaulon and its allies have always one seed only in each cell of the pistil, and they have also generally a very delicate corolla and calyx, of from four to six pieces, representing the original three sepals and three petals of the lilies and rushes. But their minute blossoms are closely crowded together in globular heads, the stamens and pistils being here divided in separate flowers, though both kinds of flowers are combined in each head. From an ances- tral form not unlike this, but still more like the wood rushes, we must get both our sedges and our grasses. And though the sedges them- selves do not stand 1n the direct line of descent to wheat and the other cereals, they are yet so valuable as an Illustration from their points of analogy and of difference that we must turn aside fora moment to examine the gradual course of their evolution. ogee Wedded Bliss, From the Chicago Tribune. “Tam going fishing.” ‘The August sun was beating down in pitiless fury’ upon the brown bosom of the parched earth, and up from the meado ws that lay to the westward of Dapplevale the hum of insects and tne noisy notes of the grasshoppers came with wondertul distinctness to Beryl McCloskey. a8 she stood in the doorway of a modest little cottage, over whose front the honeysuckles and morning glories were climbing, their vivid hues bringing out in all its beauty the pale glow of the girl’s complexion, while the little shafts of sunlight that found their way here and there through the vines overhead were not more rich in coloring than the mass of golden Imir that tell over Beryl's shoulders. ‘ ‘They had been married nearly a week—Beryl and George W. Simpson—and as the girl nestled close to her husband she felt an unspeakable joy, a sense of sweet content that could never fade away or die so long as he was by hergsie, his streng arm around her corset. And yet on this Sunday afternoon a little feeling of disap- pointment- sort of I-am-not-as-happy-as-!- was saturday sation—had thrill- ed her soul for an instant as the man whom she had vowed to love, honor. and possibly break, spoke the words with whieh this chapter opens. “J had been hoping you would go with me to 5 y school this afternoon, darling.” Beryl ‘You are such a favorite with the child- 1 can man § tae ‘etrue, sweet- andy with a fish always bite best on Do they?” she asked, looking up to him with her pure young face. ‘How funny.” “It is, indeed, ludicrous,” George replied, speaking with a grave tenderness that showed a lovely liar he was; “but we cannot fathom the mysterious laws of nature. We can only aceept them.” Suddenly George changed the subject of con- versation. shall come througii the village on my way home,” he said. “Is there anything I can get for you?”—and he stooped and kissed the rosebud mouth of the one woman in the world who had ever won his love. The littie head fellon his shoulder. There was a long, sweet pause, and then Beryl, as if fearful that the ecstasy which was thrilling through her would suddenly change to pain if she dared look up or move, said softly: “Caramels.” That was all. No need of explanation between them, and, as George W. Simpson walked swiftly away with a light heart-and apocket fullof bait, he felt the one cloud in the rose-tinted horizon of his life was liable to stay there. Success on the Stage. Joseph Jefferson, in the North American Keview. To make @ successful actor one must be gifted with sensibility, imagination and per- sonal magnetism. The art must be commenced at the foundation, or the superstructure can scarcely stand. The student should be content to enter upon the lower walks of the profession and this is his first stumbing block, because the lower positions are erroneously considered to be degrading. But to “carry a banner” is necessary, and is certainly not degrading to a beginner In the art of acting. All_ professions require that the student shall master the drudgery of his calling. Before the astrono- mer makes his great discoveries, he must have learned arithmetic. The distinguished savant has mastered the elements of his specialty. The famous chemist tries the most simple experiments, and has not hesitated to soll his hand in the laberatory. This simple drudgery is the key to the dramatic pro- fession, yet the thought of it affrights the tyro: and how natural that it should do so, for all the apparently degrading offices of other occupations are performed in private; but on the’ staze the personal mortification has to be borne in the full glare of the public, and, still worse, in the presence sometimes of friends and reia- tions who have come expressly to see how “our John” will act his part. Poor John! How, in- vardly. for the first time, he wishes his friends and relations were—somewhere else! He had rather the whole world had been there than that small family party, who, themselves are indig- nant atthe manager for giving their relative such a little thing todo. And to think that this same mortification has to be repeated night atter night, pe ‘season after season! Do you not recognize other qualities that must now support. him? Should henot have nerve and fortitude, and how seldom these are coupled with sensibility and imagination! By many failures he. may learn to succeed, and thus find out what not to do, rather than what todo. This, of course, is the darkest side of the picture; for, though the successes by persens going upon the stage with- out experience have been of rare occurrence, still we cannot deny that there have been sev- eral exceptions to place against. the many fail- ures. But, how small is the list! If all the failures could be collected, the line would “stretch out to the crack of doom.” But, to return to the dramatic aspirant.- We all know the young man who calls after our early din- ner—say about four o'clock, just as we are going to take our sacred nap—and craves our confidence. He fears his family will offer yery serious objections to his entering the theatrical profession, and, of course, for their sake, as well as his own, he could not think of holding a subordinate ition. It is true he has failed as a hatter, and his suceessin upholstery did not seem to plase him in a position to be entirely punctual in the payment of his board. But he felt that he had that within him that could accomplish Hamlet. » some fortunate character has brought out the latent strength withinthem.
