THEATRICAL SUPERSTITIONS
Columbus Succeeded In Hoodoo
ing Everything.
She Whistled in ih* Dressing Konra,
Whic h Meant Discharge lor One of the
Company —Macbeth, Etc.
. *
When 1 (first went on the stage I man
aged to get myself disliked in more
ways than an ordinary mortal would
deem it possible. The first thing 1 did
was to “hoodoo” everything. Now, I
didn’t know what it meant to “hoodoo"
things, but I was always doing it. 1
began in this way: *
One night I came to the theater in
high spirits; it was raining torrents, but
what cared i for wind or rain? Wasn't
there a swell theatre party made up just
on my aooount. and wouldn't 1 shine in
the eyes of mv old school friends as a
bright particular star, even though my
part w’as not one of great importance?
In spite of my wet feet and dripping
umbrella I skipped hilariously into the
dressing room and greeted my sister
artists with a more than usually cheer
ful “good evening.” I took off my hat
and ulster and hung them up, then I put
my rubbers in the corner. We had an
unusually large dressing room, and there
were three or four of us dressing to
gether. I looked around for a place to
put my umbrella. Not seeing any, I
went out in the passage. There was a
kind of sink just opposite our door. I
thought that would be a good place for
it, so 1 opened my umbrella and set it in
the sink to drain. Then 1 went into the
dressing room and began to get ready to
“make up.” Now, ever since I was a
small child I have had a reprehensible
habit of whistling. 1 have tried in vain
to break myself of it. Whenever I feel
particularly light hearted I find myself
whistling away as merrily as if the old
proverb about “whistling girls and crow
ing hens” had never been heard of.
SING, BUT DO NOT WHISTLE.
I took out my cosmetics and began to
grease paint my face. Just as t was
about to make an amiable remark to one
of the girls she startled me by crying out
in a peremptory tone, “Stop that!”
“Stop what?” I said.
“That whistling.”
“Don't you like that air? Well, here's
another for you”
“Stop!” they all cried, in a chorus.
“What is the matter?” I asked. “What
am I doing?”
“What are you doing? Why, whistling
Carrie out of the company.”
“What on earth do you mean?” I said,
looking from one to the other in bewil
derment.
“Don't you know that it’s the worst
thing you can do to whistle in a dressing
room? The one next the door will be
whistled out of the company.”
“Is that what all this fuss is about?” 1
said. “Well, I’ll stop whistling, but 1
don't see where vou got such an idea.”
“You don’t! Well, you get whistled
out of an engagement once or twice and
you’ll see well enough.”
“May I hum?" I asked, meekly, “or
will that bring down some horrible ca
lamity on our defenseless heads?”
“You may sing all you want to, but
don’t whistle.”
So I began humming a favorite air,
and went on with my dressing.
I was heating some cosmetic, and held
it in the flame too long; it melted, and a
Eiece dropped on my lily white hand; it
urned my wrist and left u big black
"“smooch." I scrubbed and scrubbed,
but it would not come oil. “What shall
1 do?” 1 said. I never saw cosmetic
stick so! “Take some vaseline,” said
Lou. “It’s no use,” 1 groaned. “All
the perfumes in Arabia will not sweeten
this little hand!”
I was startled by a shriek of horror,
and was amazed to see consternation in
every face. 1 was frightened by their
looks, and said in a faint voice, “What
is it?”
“Do you know what you said?” whis
pered Carrie in blood curdling accents.
“Why, yes,” I replied, wonderingly.
“I said, ‘All the perfumes’”
“Stop,” they screamed. “You must
be cray! Don't you know better than to
quote ‘Macbeth’ in the theatre?"
i 1 breathed again, “la that all?” I
Bald.
“All—it’s enough. I’m not going to
stay in the room with her. She'll Jonah
every one of us before the curtain goes
up. I'm dressed and I shall go upon the
stage and wait,” said Carrie.
“QUEERING” THE WEEK'S BUSINESS.
She walked to the door and opened it.
Instead of going out she fell back with a
gasp. “Who did that?” she said. “What?”
cried Lou and I together. “That,” point
ing with a rigid forefinger.
I hardly dared to look. I feared to
see some ghostly sight. But I screwed
up my courage and followed the direc
tion of her finger. What met my gaze?
Nothing in the world but my harmless
umbrella set up to dry!
“I don't see anything but my um
brella,” 1 said. “Is it yours?” they ex
claimed. “Why, yes; I set it up there
to dry.” They looked at each other and
walked away in silence. As 1 stood
rooted to the spot a stage hand came
along and said: “You must want to hoo
doo the theatre, putting an open um
brella in the hall.” I took it down and
shut it.
I went silently about the dressing room.
My high spirits were all gone now, and I
felt sad and depressed. As soon as I
could I went upstairs. The overture was
on, and I stood listening to the music and
musing on the mutability of human
affairs, when I happened to remember
the theatre party. “I wonder if they are
here yet,” I thought. I went up to the
curtain and looked through the peep
hole. The house was not full, but it was
not bad for a rainy night. I espied my
friends just coming in; how nice they all
looked. As I was thinking how well
Jennie C. fooked in her new theatre bon
net some one touched me on the shoul
der. “Do you want to queer the business
for the whole week?” said a voice in awful
accents. “You must never look through
the peep hole when the orchestra is play
ing Monday night.”
1 was completely discouraged. Was
there anything I could do that was pot
bad luck? This is only a specimen of the
“ways that are dark” that a poor novice
must learn before she can really be con
sidered “initiated.” —Columbine in Chi
cago Tribune.

FOUND BY ACCIDENT.
Baltimore, Mu., Jan. 28th, 1887.
I have been a suffererfor six years with
catarrh, ulcerated sore throat, and rheu
matism of the chest, from blood poison.
\bout four weeks ago I was passing the
Botanic Blood Balm store, No. 8 North
street, Baltimore. I went m and con
sulted your agent about my case
gave me one ol your B. B. B. ‘Book of
Wonders,” which I read. I called m a
few days afterward and got a bottle of
your Botanic Blood Balm—B. B. 11. I
am now on the third bottle and will say
that I have felt a marked improvement
since the third day after commencing to
use vour medicine. I now ha ve no ti Ouble
from mv throat, and have improved so
much in every way that I am satisfied
that by the use of your medicine 1 will
soon be all right.
I have taken many and some good pre
scriptions and medicines for this trouble,
but I think your B. B. B. the best remedy
I have had, and I cheerfully recommend
vour “Botanic Blood Balm” to the pub
lic as the quickest and best blood remedy
I have found, after six long years of
search for 1 lealth. A ery respectfull.v yoult*,

number of years wUh boils scattered
about all over her person. They would
make their appearance every spring, and
last through the summer and until late
in the fall. Her health was sadly im
paired, losing flesh and strength every
day ; in fact, they were sapping her life.
I gave her one bottle of B. B. 8., and the
effect was like magic, producing a com
pletecure and restoring her health. 1 odo.v
she is perfectly sound and her health full\
restored. It is without doubt the best
and most valuable blood purifier now on

the time to embrace these great opportunines-
Our school will be chartered this spring.
Board from SB.OO to $8 00 permonth
A boarding house is in the course of erection
for the accommodation of the pupils. A great
number of the boys and girls have been renting
rooms, doing their own house work and attend
ing the school, at remarkably low figures. Help
will be given by friends of the Institution to
poor people who may be unable to seeure educa
tional advantages. Every one shall have an op
portunity.
The building, three stories high, with its white
form and belfry crown, may be seen for miby
resting amid a cluster of oaks. The house will
be fitted up in first-class style.
The surroundings—the mineral water, health
ful climate, intelligent citizens, moral infiume* -■
pleasant associations, mountain scenery, pro
jected railways, and everything—mark This lo
cality as adapted to an Institution of learning.
Our methods will be up with the times. V e
make it a business to see that each pupil learns :
and to keep our school free from immoral in
fluences and immoral students. The teachers
employed in each department will be the finest
talent that Georgia can afford.
