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. Most Popular Poem in the Language.

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.

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.
