THE STAGE AND OFF—PLENTY OF FLOWERS, BUT SLIM PURSES New York Correspondence of the Philadeiphia Times. ox | A few evenings since I was sitting in one of the commodious boxes of Col. Goodwin's opera house, listening to the bird tones of the graceful “‘Phocbe” as they pushed through the choral harmonies and flew up and on and out to the space, when a pretty- ! faced ballet girl drooped, trembled, | had fell, and was carried to the wing, where she fainted “‘dead away.” The | #ay and festive Hoverlin was vigorous- ly leading the applause, the bland and decorous Bingham was shouting “bravo,” the bright-eyed judge was eager for an eucore and the great as- | semblage clapped and stamped appro- val as the bouquetlsden Guthrie smiled her thanks from the stage. None of these saw the ballet girl; who ever does see a ballet girll Strange as It may appear they are human and have hope and fears, troubles and an_occasional pleasure. I thought as I looked at the line of girls so correctly drawn and strictly watched by Stage Mana- wer Scanlon, of the hidden melodramas that line could disclose if the girls weald speak. In s company of fifty or sixty persons the extremes of life ‘must necessarily be touched. Wom of grace and beauty and accompli ! ments leave the domestic comforts, as | dear to them ns to any other, enter the field of public service and work as the slaves of the cotton-fields never ! dresmed of working. And for whatl { For fame —how few of them get it | For fan—if you knew the life you would never make that mistake. They work for home, for father, mother, sister and brother. Tney work for Iazy husbands and for erying children. I, wonder often,! when I see managers who are colning fortunes from the faithfol serviees of their com- panies, whether they ever give & thought to the real life of their peo- ple. In these days of competition and comblnation the weak ones suffer. 1 have before me now the case .of a well-born, carefully-nurtered girl of phenomenal ability whose treatment by her manager would scandalize & scoundrel. And if I were to tell if the good people of Philadelphla would make their city of brotherly love too hot a place for him were he ever to ask their patronage, I know of young women who are pald from ten to fifteen dollas per week and thelr traveling expenses, bat not their board. How are they expected to live! Idon't refer now to the oft- told story of actresses who receive from fifty toseventy-five dollarss week during a season of forty weeks, and are expected to spend more than hal their salary on costumes and get along as best they can during the twelve idle weeks of the year. Idon't refer te them, I say, because it's an un- pleasant topic and opens into so much and on to 8o many roads that time and space are not mine in which todo it justicn, I write now of the poorer types. And poor they are, I assure you. Wretches in the guise of men flippantly joke about them. Scoun- drels insult them and employers sacri fice them. Without chorus singers and ballets no spectacle could be a success, nogrand production could be ago. Theyare part and pareel of the essential stracture, but_they aro mot regarded as individualities In sny sense. The chorus is an entity, but for all that it lives and moves and wirries and throbs and soffers. Kind o’ thiok of it the next time you go to the opera. And in this connectlon let me add a word about flowers. It is evident that the great Power that made beautiful women and exquisite flowers hae an eye for the geaces and beatitudes of existence. He has given us an anals- us seuse (what a hard line that is, n analagous sense,” eh!), and when wo eee a beautiful womau we naturally think of sending her a boquet. But some of us rather overdo it. 1 chanced, not a thousand years ago, to be in a theater where an artiste was_planting her shapely foot on & s-lid round of the ladder of success. She was poor. For years she had stroggled for a ‘‘chance.” That's what we all seek. ‘‘Give me,” Wharton Biker, esq., “a chance the interlor department, snd show ' “Give me," the tyro,a “‘aewspaper chance,” and T'll make the world myslave. ~Well, this girl, after pawning everything but herself, found a great, grim wolt standiog_right In front of her attic door. The wolf's name was Hunger and he himself uncomfortably st home with her. Accldent—and accident fs the moving potentiallity nine times In ten—secu: her ‘‘a chance” in s ventare. She took the chance, with a petty weekly salary, and went to work. Her head was hot, her chest was sore, her arms and legs were thin for want of food. She strained every nerve all the time and made the venture s success. The ‘manager took in money fast. The girl became the rage. More salary? Not a cont more. Why not! Because she bad contracted for a petty prioe and managers never break contracts—do they? But she got applause and flowers! Flowerst Yes, and the night of which I speak (it was just a week ago, in this city), with her red eyes inflamed with tears because she hadn’t an extra cent in ber wallet, with her heels sore with the rubbing of shoes she could not re- place, sho went smirking and smiling to the footlighta tottake with tremb- ling hand from the leader of the orchestra two immense floral tribates, one of which cost $100 and the other 25! What mockery! Twenty-five dollars In money would have been a God-send. Twenty-five dollars in cash would have bough: her the underclothes and the clothes she literally needed. Twenty-five dollara would have enabled ber to get beef, iron and wine which the physician had ordered, but which she had not the spare dollar for. Of course you won't think that T advise the sending of money instead of flowers. That would be an insult quick to be resented. I am narrating facts, not tendering advice. A few dollars spent in cut flowers, or even for a choice bouquet, can do all the most extreme admirer sheuld seek to do tn public. It's the thoughtfalness, not the extravagancs, that produces a0 impression. If I cared to cause resl, lasting happiness, happi- ness that would start a tear or 8o of gratitude, I'd find out quietly and exactly the party's status, and in some proper and delicate mode send her what she most needed. There are times when a ton of coal, two suits of flannel underclothes, a bird cage, a pate of shoes, 8 small box of tes or three or .four tickets for a Turkish bath, wsuld do more toward warming the inner cockle of a young woman's hesrt than $100 worth of flowers. Send flowers, too. Send, however, fowers that can be gracefully received and easily carried upon the stage. e About Tanning. Blalr Pilot. All along this Missouri river coun- try grows, in grest profusion, s weed resembling somewhat the common smart-weed of the eastern states In sp- poarance, but larger and of a more rank growth, This weed is well known to our farmers, but seema to be more specially at home along the river bot- toms. It has recently been demonstrated that this weed can be utilized, as it 1s now known to contain properties of groat value when spplied o the princi- Dle of tanning hides. Oak and Hem- Tock bark, heretofore considered the most desirable for tanning pur- posee, contain respectively of taunic acid as follows: Oak bark, 6 te 8 per cent; Hemlock bark, 5 to 7 per cent., while sccording to Prof. Aoghey’s analysis of the weed mentioned, it contains over 17 per cent. of tannic acid, or more than double the amount of that peculiar property required for tanning purpos It has been practi- cally demonstrated that this weed ia ail that is claimed for it a8 & promi- nent iogredientin the tanning process, and as it isa well known fact that the {mmense quantities of hides produced in the west are shipped to eastern tan- nerles, and the leather shipped back for uee, it follows that there will be a double advantage sccruing to the west is utilizing this weed. Tanning can be done much chesper than with bark, aud a saving of freight both ways will be made. The supply of the weed is practicably Inexhaustible, and if the native growth should not supply the demand it can be success- fally cultivated. So it would seem that all that is necessary to convert this weed, which has heretofore been a nuisance to farmers, into a source of wealth to the country, is the right men with the necessary capital to es- tablish tanneries. There is room for them all over the west, and ‘‘millions for those who invest. Who tannery here at Blair? CHINAMENS LETT! FROM HOME, CURIOUS ~FACTS LEARNED BY THE CLERKS AT THE P. O. DELIVERY WINDOW. N.Y. Sun. Among the many carlosities of mail matter that pass daily through the New York postoffice ate the letters that come from Ohina to the China- men in this city. They are written and addressed in Chinese characte: The address s on the left cornor of the envelope. Address are slways translated into English at Sap Francisco. Of the names that the translator turns out from the curlous little marks on the ervelopes, the Lees aro the most numerous. The super- riptions, after being tranalsted, ad somewhat after this fashion: “Sam Lee, laandryman, New York City.” The Sam Lees are the most numerous; next come the Hop Lees, then the Wah Lees, the Lung Lees, the Chung Lees and the Bung Lec ‘The Wahs are not far behind. The Lung family is not s numerous. The Won Lungs and the Ling Lungs are the most numersous. The Yiks, too, are quite s colony. Sam Lingls s prosperous laundryman. The Chin Chine are yet scarce, as are the Chow Chows. Tt is surprising to notlos the number of O'Briens and Cullins and other Irish names. This is sccounted for from the fact that the Chinamen often marry Irish women and take their wives' names. The reporter spenc an afterncon near the general delivery window at the post-office. The Chinese callers for letters were very few The first was dressed in his native costume, and wore his quene wrapped around his head. He edged up to the window and said: “Me wanteo lettee.” The mail matter was looked over, but the clerk not finding the expected letter, the Chinaman with a disap- pointed air walked awoy. The next Chinaman came in c)mpany with a large Irish woman. ~She stepred up to the window, followed by the Chi- an, and asked: there any letther for Tim Cul- lins?” The clerk ran over the letters, snd said there was none. ““Whore would you expsct a letter from?” he asked. “'Twonld be a Chinase letther,” she replied. ““It's far me husband, Tim Cullivs, Tim, step up here ani teil this gintlean ye wants a lot- ther.” The Chinaman obeyed meekly. Me wanteo lettes, samee Melican man. Me mallied to Ilish woman; goeo west by-um-by,” he said. The letter was handed out to him. “‘He's a foine man,” said Mrs, Cul- lins confidentially to the clerk. He's the son of a Chinese nobleman, and we're goin' home some time. Tim, come along,” and she led the Celestial away. “Do you have many such callers?” the reporter asked of the clerk. ©Oh, yes; there are a rumber of Chinamen in the city who are married to Irish women, and thelr wives always come with them for their mail. The Chinsmen in this city are gen- erally frugal and often thrifty. They are not benevolent, but their good | deeds are not overlooked whon they | become known. A once prosperous man of the city, who had fallen into evil ways, no longer sought his fire side, but frequented neighboring bar- rooms sndfdrank deeply. Oune cold | night s man ontered a bar-room and | began to spend what little money he hud in & very reckless manner, whila his wife and children were waiting at home with no fire or food in the house. As the man laid dows his last dime for a glass of whisky hi wife entered the bar room, stayed bis band, and besought him to not touch the liquor, but to return home to his children, who wers crying for food. This appeal did not move the man, and he cursed his wife Just then a Chinsman stepped up behind the man, quietly picked up the glass and draok it, and tho husband returned home with hia wife a wiser and more sober man — His Haie Old Age Ascribed to Salt. Lorenzo A. Pickles, of Newfane, near Rochester, peddles trees throngh- out western New York. He is 70 years old, and measures 6 foet and 5 inches in_ height., He has thirteen sisters and eight brothers, and he is the smallest of the entire family. One brother, who lives in Kentucky, is 7 feet 2} inches in_helght, and weighs 275 pounds, although he is spare in flesh. Thelittlest sister is 6 feet 54 inches tall. The family is scattered, no two living in the same state. Lorenzo Pickles has the appearsnce of a man of 40. He never wears a coat, and goes without stockings win- terand summer. He has two pupils ineach eyo. To distingulsh objec close by, Mr. Pickles uses powerfal maguifyiog glasses. He can read print and see things at s greater distance, without the aid of glasees, than it is possible for persons with the natural eye_tosee. He never tasted liquor of any kind in his life, and never drinka wa Three emall caps of tea a day, wh and summer, suffice to quench Mr. Pickles’ thirst. He never ests fresh meat. His chief article of diet is salt rk, although he likes meats and fish. o ‘eats two tablespoonfuls of salt every day, snd prafors salt to sugar in his tes. Pie and cake or sweetmeats of any kind he never tasted. Ho says he believes his hale and hearty condi- tion is due mainly to the salt he uses, Mr. Pickles is a widower, but he h two daughters. One is 17 years oid the other 12. ~ The oldeat is 6 feetand a half an Inch tall. The youogest is 5 foot 9 inches, and their fathor says they are both s\ill growing. —_— Injury to Bark of Trees. The bark on large numbers of frait trees has been injured during the past winter by a variety of caases. Sle and snow have caused branches to be broken off, in many cases tearing the bark from the tree for s considerable distance below them. The wind has caused the branches of trees to ruh sgainst each other, thereby injurirg the bark of both at the place of con- tact. The great quantity of snow on the ground and the carcity of food | have caused rabbits and ficld mice to goaw the bark of young fruit trees. | Sometimes the | only in spots, but not unfrequently a | young tree has been _entirely girdled. Attention should be immediately given to the condltion of trees whose bark bas been injored In any of the ways notloed. In case s branch has ‘been broken, but remains suspended from the tree, it should be detached and the wound covered with grafting wax, pslat or varnish. If branches have worn against each other, one or the other should be re- moved, and the wound on the other govered with some substance that will complately exclude the air. It i more difficalt to manage the woun inflicted by the teeth of small ani: on the trunks of small trees quite near the surface of the ground, as injuries to the trank of a tree affect every portion of it. Generally the best treatment consists -in placing a tarf of grass against the wound, and in packing earth closely around it. There Is an advantage in first covering the wood with palnt or varnish, and then spplying the ear h. In oase the trank has been entirely girdled it will be necessary to insert twigs cat from the tree and sharpened at each end between the poriions of bark that remain above and below the denuded surfac il afford means for the sap to pass up- ward. The entire space shoula then be covered with fresh earth, which ahould be well pressed down.
