The Ontio,.k W - ;.n interesting I Story if the Spanish administration, j wlun. dniin p.nr- ivil war,'the Emperor Napoleon firmed the ingenious plan of uniting European nations in a change of tin- international law governing blockades. The admiralty law of the world at present extends the jurisdic ti< n of any nation for one marine league from its shores. If, therefore, any block ade runner could get within three miles of Jamaica, Cuba or Porto Rico, he was safe from any interference from our blockading fleet. Napoleon prop'.-i'd that, instead of one league, the limit of local sovereignty should be extended to three leagues from shore, and he persuaded the Span ish minister to come into bis plan. Such an extension of neutral limits Would have greatly hindered the opera tions of our blockading fleets. All the negotiations were conducted with great secrecy, but orders were sent from Spain to the West Indies, instructing authorities there to extend threefold the range of their dominion over the sea. These orders had already gone when Horatio Perry, the American secretary of legation, got wind of the treachery of onr ally. Mr. Perry told his wife. She told the Duchess of Montpensier, who hated Louis Napoleon, and the duchess told her sister, the Spanish queen. Then the queen sent for Mr. Perry and asked what it was all about “You are injuring your best friends, ’’said he after explaining the matter, “at the solicitation of this in triguer whom you have reason to be lieve is your enemy.” The queen regent eent for her prime minister ami interrogated him. lie re plied that her majesty had signed the order on such a day. “But no one told me what it meant, ’ said Queen Isabella. “No one told mo that tiiis is a heavy blow to my Ameri can allies. ” Noone had told her! The minister was sorry if her majesty disliked it, lint it was too late to help it. Why was it too late? Because a steamer had gone to the West Indian fleet with the orders which changed one league to three. Then said Isabella, “It is not too late for me to accept your resignations. ” But tlie seiior don did not want to re sign, and the other senores dons did not want to resign. So they found a fast steamer to take out orders rescinding the other orders, and the blockade was maintained for the next year. RUNNING A THEATER. The Biy; Salary Account That New ork Hounes Must Meet. The salaries of actors and actresses vary so much that no fixed prices can be quoted. It may suffice to say that the salary list of a stock house for per formers will not come to less than sl,- 000 a week, and is often considerably more The salaries in the “front” are about as follows: Business manager, S6O to $75 a week; box office man, S3O; as sistant, sls ; two doorkeepers, $8 to sl2 each; head usher, $8; other ushers (three or four), $7; lithograph men (two), sls; nightwatchman, $lO. The salaries of the attaches of the stage are all fixed at union rates. Fur thermore, tiie manager must employ three men on a side —that is, three stage bands on each side of the stage, including the stage carpenter and his | assistant—-and two flymen, men who i work the curtain and drops up in the j “flies. ” the regions above the stage. The union rates are as follows: Stage . carpenter, S3O a week; assistant, $25; j elect.: : in. $25; assistant, sls; prop ' erty i n. $25; assistant, sls; back doorkeeper, $7; stage hands, $1.50 for each performance, $2.50 per day for putting on a play, 50 cents an hour for rehearsals ond 62' 2 cents an hour for all labor half an hour after the fall of the final curtain.

Hou- the Dul ’•* Mint re* a Detained Her Pct Spaniel. When .Mrs. Marie Nevins Blaine was i married to Dr. VV. T, Bull, her pet ! spaniel, Lion, was banished. After the couple had been married a year Mrs. ! Bull persuaded her husband to let Lion return for a week, promising to keep him in the stable. Three days of Lion's visit had passed when as Dr. Bull was taking off his overcoat in his office there came a rap at the inner door. It was so faint that at first he did not notice it. Then when it was repeated he said, "Come in.” No one came, but the rapping went on. Ho opened the door, and there stood Lion. He had been knocking the door with a little wooden box he held in his month, addressed to Dr. Bull. The doctor took the box, and Linn, too polite to intrude, turned and walked in a dignified man ner back up stairs. The doctor opened the box and read the tiny note contain ed therein, smiled and threw it in the scrapbasket. The next day Lion knocked and left another note. The third time be came there was a reply for him. The doctor said, “Lion, wait.” He took the box, abstracted the note, put one of his own in its place, and handing the box back to the dog gave him a put and sent him upstairs. Here is a copy of Lion’s notes and the reply they finally elicited: Dear Doctor—l am enjoying my visit to my mistress very It w»w very kind of you to invite mo her**, and I have tried to Vehnve the best 1 know how.

A Description of a Spell of Humidity on the Wabash- “Talking about rainy weather,” said the westerner, "I remember once out in Indianapolis meeting a farmer who took the most cheerful view of damp ness of anybody I ever saw. I asked him if they had had much rain down on tho Wabash that spring. " ‘ Well, it has been a little damp, ’ he answered. ‘The day before I left home I had to hang up 24 of my ducks. They had got so water soaked that they couldn't swim any longer. I planted my corn in two feet of water, and I don’t expect over 30 bushels to the acre. Aly wheat is looking pretty well, but tho sturgeon and catfish have damaged it considerably. There was about 15 minutes' sunshine one day, and I thought I would plant my potatoes, so I loaded them on a scow and anchored the scow in three feet of water,' when it began to rain again. " ‘I wanted to go down on the bottom lands next the Wabash to see if the grass was growing for my hay crop, but my wife said that as we didn’t have any diving tell she’d rather I wouldn't. I should feel kind of discouraged with all tho rain, but I’ve spent my odd hours of leisure time —and the even ones, too, on account of staying in out of the wet building us an ark. If it will only rain another week or two until 1 get her ready to sail, I’m going to take my family out to Missouri by water for a trip to visit our folks that moved off out there because they didn’t know enough to stay in a place where they were comfortable.’” —Boston Tran script. Ilin Concern. A commercial traveler on his trip called upon a well known chemist. He was nervous as he put his hand in his pocket and handed out a card. “I represent that concern,” said the young man. “You are fortunate," replied the chemist. The commercial traveler was encour aged and said : "I think so, sir, and the chemist who trades with us is even more so. Aly firm has the finest line of cosmetics in the country. ” "I shouldn’t have thought it,” slow ly responded the man of medicines. "Her complexion looks natural.” And ho handed back the photograph which the young man had given him ' by mistake. He took it and left without waiting to make any farewell remarks. Londi >n Sketch.

It was in a little out of the way place in the country, and as the recent arrival passed some asked who she was. “She is a society woman who has teen wishing for the last ten years that she conld get away from the trials and anxieties and bores and superficiality of society,” was the answer.

Such was the case of tho propelh r Susan E Peck that went aground near Bt.r point and was lost with a $20,000 cargo. “The captain of tho Susan E bad sailed successfully hundreds of times between Point Pelee and Bar point and in all kinds of weather, and this time ho had a wheelman who was known from one end of tho lake to the other as one of the most expert navigators in tho lake business, lie had been lying up a long time, for the very good reason that owing to an accident to one of his legs that leg bad to be amputated to save his life. The lost member was re placed by an artificial leg, and then the pilot was ready to take his post at the wheel again. His first service after his misfortune was this trip of tho Susan E. Peck, and he ran her aground. "Tho puzzle to everybody was how it was possible for tho propeller, han dled by a man of such skill and experi c..e ■ a st ... 10 mihs long and with every sailing condition favorable, to leave her course. Tho pilot was tho most puzzled and astounded person of all. He soon got another ves sel, and this one ho ran in such an er ratic manner, but fortunately with no disastrous result, that he was compelled to give her up, and iiis usefulness as a pilot was gone. Ho and others went to investigating to see if they could dis cover what was wrong with his sea manship.- "After awhile they discovered what they believed was tho trouble. In tho pilot’s artificial leg a great deal of steel had been used in the joints and other places. Kitting close to the binnacle, as ho did while steering, this steel derang ed tho compass so that it threw the wheelman way off his reckoning and led to the wrong piloting that had wrecked the Susan IS. Peck and endan gered tho other vessel that the wheel man navigated subsequently. This was what they argued, and to demonstrate the correctness of tho theory the pilot took charge of a vessel without wear ing his false leg. Everything worked to a charm. The mystery of tho Susan E. Peck was solved, and tho pilot was re stored to bis old place in tho confidence of Lake Erie skippers and vessel own ers.’’—New York Sun. South America’* Suicide Wind. In Braz.il and other parts of South America the natives know and fear a certain condition of the air which they call "suicide wind. ’’ It is not a superstition, but an actual condition of the atmosphere which seems to drive the people to madness, and during its continuance self inflict ed deaths are numerous. Criminologists and scientists all over ! the world are interested in this peculiar atmospheric influence, which is indi ' cated by a soft, moist, warm air that settles heavily on tho earth. Tho climatic condition known as the "suicide wind” is greatly dreaded in that part of the country. Statistics prove that suicides and oth ( er crimes occur together or in waves as they are described. The Moral I* Plain. “Once upon a time,” says the Houtz dale (Pa.) Journal, “a man got mad at tho editor and stopped the paper. In a few weeks he sold his corn at 4 cents less than tho market price.
