Let any man attempt to describe the appearance of his fifty most intimate friends and relatives, and it is doubtful that he will rightly state the color of the eyes _ and hair and the approximate height and weight in the majority of in- stances, If there is any marked peculiarity, that will be recalled, but any such general description as will be sufficienfly accurate to make ready _ identification probable is beyond the training of the average man or | woman, ° In this regard men are more keen than women, though thelr training applies more to the careful observation of the clothing, the manner of wearing the hair and the general style. Women can also give a much better description of another woman than of a man, and their identifica- tions of men are proverbially unreliable. No photograph can show the tone of voice, the conversational ex- pression of countenance or the mannerisms which, more than the mere features of the face, impress themselves upon wene’s friends and acquaint- ances, HORSE CARS, !- Grand street’s horse cars are to be replaced by the underground trolley.

She Relates the Wonderful Experiences of a Single Night in One of New York’s Theatrical Boarding-Houses, By Alice Rohe.

Daisy and I have found that out. “When we left our happy hotel we looked up @ landlady someé careless person told us would be a mother to us. Say, she certainly was good to me the firat day. As a mark of her motherly interést she lec og iit at her table. In fact, she hardly let us out of her sight till she had landed eighteen dollars per from us for the comforts of home on the top floor, “She's a lovely person, She entertained us the first night by, telling us that she always felt like a perfect lady after she'd had a Turkish bath, her hair dressed and her nails manicured, “I wish you'd see our delightful little apartment on the top floor—by courtesy called a ¢oom. Why we could rent the biggest house in Wate bungee, Kansas, for what we're paying to be jammed into that cigarette cuse, “Oh, but last night it wos grand. Just as we were dosing we heard horrible shrieks 2oming from the next room. These actorettes don't go to ded till we little Sunflowers ure getting ready for the day's work, ang= way. Well, the shrieks kept getting so bad that we just hung onto eaok other and gasped, Nobody else on the floor was paying any attention. f stood {t as long as I could, but when that female voice commenced to scream ‘Help! help! He's killing me!’ I jumped out of bed and dashed into the room. Heavens! I was all of a lily dew, But what do you think IT encountered? Nothing but the baleful glare of a blondined beauty's eye, “Do you know, it was une of those cheap actorettes rehearsing her part in ‘Trapped in a Great City,’ If she had been shrieking about the boarding- house I could have forgiven her; but this midnight play-acting is too much for my Kansas sensibilities, 4! “You know, It svems to be the proper caper for the top floor to have hysterics, We had just gotten settled once more in our single bed for twe when heartrending shrioks began to pour out of the room on the other side, This time I decided not to do a Carrie Nation break in. When the shrieks turned into moans we sneaker out in the hall and listened, It was only a young lady soubrette of a atock company having hysterica because she couldn't commit her lines, She was going it guod and plenty, too; soream~ ing about ‘two performances and one rehearsal a day and a uew pleze every week,’ Everybody tried to hush her up, and finally I gave her a whole tox of nleeping powders father gave me for neuralgia.
