MEN WHOM WOMEN ADORE.
The Dtllcit* and Refined Type of Actors
and gingers Get the Smiles.
The excess of devotion that Pader-
ewski receives from enthusiastic women
calls attention to the fact that it is al-
ways the more delicate and refined type
of manhood that inspires this sort of
hysterical idolatry among the women.
Tliere never waa a more superb example
of handsome manliness than that of
Edouard de Reszke, the French tenor,
but he was here and is in his own coun-
try but vaguely admired by women, and
with none of the mad, rapturous ecstasy
and adoration of which Alvary, the Ger-
man tenor, was the ungracious recipient.
Alvary was small and slight in stature.
His shyness was almost painful. Hie
devotion to bis German frau and numer-
ous olive branches hopelessly prosaic
and unromantic. But the women stood
about the stage door in groups for a
glimpse of their divinity, and squandered
their entire allowance on opera tickets
when he sang.
Kyrle Bellew was in his day another
victim of woman's devotion. They
found oat where the effeminate Marc
Antony had his hair dipped, and bribed
the barber into savii^ bits of the sacra)
fleece for them to wear in lockets and
watches. How that barber ever recon-
ciled things with his own conscience,
how he will settle it with the recording
angel is a mystery, for not even the
Sutherland sisters could have supplied
all the locks that were surreptitiously
dealt out to the fair devotees for a time.
Pierre Loti, in France, now one of the
Immortals, is another man of the marked
feminine characteristics which appeal tc
the enthusiasm of women and claim
their championship. It was on shipboard
that this writer, whose real name is Jean
Viand, got the name of Loti, whioh it
Japanese for "violet," and it was aa Vio-
let that he was known among the grace-
less, but discriminating subalterns. Men
call his writing feminine in discernment
and cloying in style, and say that he
chooses his words like bonbons. But the
strong and brilliant Mme. Adam and hei
followers, in their enthusiasm for Loti
at the time of his election to the acad-
emy, opposed a man of distinguished
largeness of thought and marked genius.
Dignity and elegance are both winning
cards for gaining popularity with wom-
en. It is to the former that Walter Dam
rosch previous to his marriage gained
his following of fashionable women, and
it is to the latter quality, as well as his
dramatic talent, that Riddle is indebted
for the admiration of the women whc
listen to his readings. Perhaps it is the
unexpected strength and fire in the guise
of an exquisite that charms. The odd
thing about it is that the very women
who rave over these types of men are
wedded to husbands of the practical ro-
tund school; men with plenty of devel-
opment in the aldermanic region; men
whose wedding vests won't meet by sev-
eral inches, and whose bald spots are frst
growing glossy; men who couldn't un-
derstand their rosettes any better than
Amelie Rives' unfortunate hero, and whc
laugh at the little women and their rc --
ings over long haired heroes, confident
of their own charm and liking the wom-
en all the better for their pretty enthusi-
asms.—New York Sun.
Force of Imagination.
It was in Paris. A lot of high rollers
WW® talking about tobacco. Howell
Osborne was there, Wilkie, the retired
dentist, and several other fellows whc
had hard work to spend their income.
Wilkie, who didn't smoke, offered to bet
a dinner that he could fool another
member of the crowd on a cigar. Man
swore he couldn't He'd been cussing a
bine streak because he couldn't get Per-
fectos on account of the government
monopoly. So they blindfolded him, and
Wilkie lighted cigar after cigar and
handed them to him. "Pooh," he would
say, "another Parisian failure."
By and by Wilkie lighted a cigar,
which he had obtained with some mys-
tery, extinguished the flame with a quick
Stroke of his penknife and handed it
over. The cigar was still warm. The
expert took several puffs and threw down
the cigar, exclaiming, "French, and
mighty bad!"
Then they set up a howl, for the cigar
was a smuggled Perfecto.—Paris Letter.
Breaking a Wishbone.
The divining rod is a feature in all
early mythology, especially so among the
Hindoos. As the forked branch of a tree
it indicated in various parts of Europe,
Asia and Africa where treasures were
hidden or where water might be readily
found. From the forked branch of a tree
it was but a step to the forked clavicle of
a bird, and this bone was soon invested
with the power of securing the gratifica-
tion of the wishes of those who in break-
ing it retained the forked part, for it waa
the fork that was possessed of mystic
power.—New York Telegram.
The Usual Practice.
A Detroit lawyer was in Washington
recently and among the sights took in
the supreme court of the United States.
"What do you think of it?" asked a
friend In the evening.
"Well, I eat there and listened awhile,
and though I am ashamed to confess it
I went to sleep."
"Oh, that's all right," said his friend
encouragingly; "everybody does that."—
Detroit Free Press.
It is stated that since the second pie*
nary council of Baltimore the archdiocese
of New York has contributed over f500.<
Various Sources of Silk.
811k worms are not the sole source of
the production of silk; it is also obtained
from several vegetable substances, but
of an inferior and less durable descrip-
tion. Excellent colored silk is obtained
from the prepared and finer fibers of the
bamboo, which is much in demand for
clothing in tropical countries from its
lightness and porosity. Another form of
silk is obtained from the pods of the silk
cotton tree, of which there are several
varieties in existence, the material ob-
tained from them being known as vege-
table silk.—Brooklyn Eagle.
It All Depends.
•'How long," says a contemporary,
"can one live without air?"
It depends ou the air. Most people
could live a long time without some of
the airs which have been popular during
the last twelvemonth.—Exchange.
No Reference to AIIusIouh.
She—You are always sneering at wom-
en who talk too much. Are you hitting
at me?
He—Not at all. There are lots ol
women besides you who talk too inucb
—Texas Sittings.
m
Mistake, Mistaken.
The use of this word seems to be so
anomalous as to noeu some inquiry and
explanation.
I may bo mistaken, for I continually
make mistakes. But when shown to
have been r^istakeu I own myself in er-
ror. Yet, if I am mistaken, is it not the
error of him who mistakes me? But it
may be that I am right and that he ia
mistaken, though I suppose that I ought
to take him aright and not mistake him,
Nevertheless I often have to say in ar-
gument: "You were quite right. I waa
mistaken."
In a word, though he who mistakes
must be in error, our common use of
language considers him who is mistaken
to be so.—Notes and Queries.
John B. Roden, a storekeeper at Bir-
mingham, Ala., after listening to a ser-
mon on the evils of card playing, made a
large bonfire of the cards in his store,
Valued at fully $200.
Geoffrey (to rejected candidate for
honors at the dog show)—Never mind,
Smut! We'll have a dog show that shall
be all cats except you, and then you'll
have it all your own way!
It Didn't Work.
Nervous Lady—There! I've bad some
ashes put on the hilj outside, and now 1
guess those noisy coasters will go some-
where else.
Boy (outside)—Hi! All of yout Here's
a bully place to shine y'r runners.—Good
News.
There is no Other work in the world of
which so many copies are printed annu-
ally as of the Chinese almanac. The
number is estimated at several millions
It is printed at Peking and is a monopoly
of the emperor.
