Among the hoterogenoous popula tion of Now York city there is none so distinct and individual os its Slav elomont. It is "composed mainly of Hebrews, who havo their own butch ers, their grocers, and, last and great est, their own theatres. It seems won derful that while the Gormans of this city are lmrely able to sustain one the atre, and while tho French, Spanish and Italian residents liavo none at all, tho Russian and Polish Jaws should have four playhouses of their own. Three ol those are situated in tho Bowery; the fourth is at tho house formerly known as Poole’s theatre on Eighth street, near Fourth avenue. In these throe theatres tho plays are given in Hebrew, or at, least in a jargon of Hebrew, German and Russian, which purports to bo Hebrew. Tho ‘'dramas" bear such titles as "Tho Full of Jeru salem,” "Tho Flood of Johnstown,” "King Solomon," "King David," ‘‘Lord Montollore" and others, the bill boards boaringtheso names being print ed in Hebrew and English. Tho classes which frequent and sup port those theatres are tho poorest, be ing composed of tho Jews to be found in the so called "Now Jerusalem,” in tlio district between Division streetund Ounal. Their dwellings are the most abject tenements, where a family of six which has a whole room to itself is considered in iillluence. They earn their living -if such it can bo called— by > titehing shirts and coats for "swteAtors”—men who talto contracts for clothing and who employ these Jews to do the work for such prices as six cents for a shirt and twenty-soven cents for a coat neatly stichcd and tlnishcd ; Yet, notwithstanding their destitution, those people always man age to lay aside a little money for their amusement. Admission to their theatres costs from ton to fifty cents, nild most of the houses do a thriving business. The one in tho Bowery below Canal street, and which,is in tlio building formerly occupied by the Thalia theatre, isospe- eiully prosperous. The actors in most of these theatres are of a very poor order, but educated Hebrews have stated that the troupe which until re oently was at Poole’s theatre, undbr the auspices of what was known ns tho Harp or David society, was an unconi monly good one. '4'lie audiences uro partial to relig ious plays, and their fervor knows no bounds when tho glory of Boloniou is portrayed. Asa rule, they are quiet and peaceful people, who, although they are addicted to the wearing of loud combi nations of colors and to tho anting of peanuts and cakes and the drinking of soda water during tho per formances at their theatres, commit lio graver oll’enso against tho laws and customs of the country,—New York Commercial Advortiscr. SONG OF ARIEL. The Kxiwrleuon of 1% Woman Who Has Supported Uemolf for Years. "If you.are a working woman and are ambitious to get on in whatever you may bo doing," said one of tlio most clover and successful of that class, “there is one thing which you must do, and that is dress well. Simply from a business point of view, you cannot afford to do otherwise. Aside from tlio very direct and helpful influence tho consciousness of being well dressed has upon the mind of any woman, tho fact of her being so im presses other persons in her favor. Good clothes givb her an air of pros perity that, in a working woman who supplies her own needs, stands for ?ood pay, uiul good pay moans capa ble work. More than that, tlio habit of wearing good clothes implies a rec ognition on tlio part of tho wearer of her own dignity and worth, which others are very quick to noo and ac knowledge. It ought not to bo true, perhaps, but it is true, that there is a quick instinct of consideration in the minds of most men—and business life brings most working women chiefly into contact with men—toward a well dressed woman that does not manifest itself toward an ill-dressed, dowdy looking creature, and so the good clothus give her a pleasanter ntmos- plioro and easier conditions in which to do her work. And as for tlio money side of the question, 1 firmly boliovo that my per sistonco in dressing well, even when 1 was desperately poor, 1ms been worth at least $500 u year to me. Let mo tell you how 1 found that out. 1 am not ny nature careful ubout those matters, but on that bitter day when I made my first venture out into tho world in search of bread and butter some worldly wise instinct led mo to put on the best gown I had. I wont to an editor to ask for work as a fashion writer for his weekly edition. A shabby woman sut talking with him. He of fored her $15 a week to do half the fasliion work. Shu took his offer and left. Then he turned to mo. • " ‘I want to do the other half of that fashion work.’ I said. "Wo talked a few minutes ubout it and then lie said: ‘I’ll pay you what 1 do tho other womnn, $15 a week.’ “ ‘I can’t do it for that,’ I answered. ‘I couldn’t livo on $15 a week.’ "Ho looked me over critically from tho top of my best hut down to my best French kid boots. " ‘No,’ ho said slowly, uftor a hit, •you look different, somoiiow, and I’ll give you $20 a week.’ "That was my llrstoxporionco in the bonetlt of being well dressed, and ouch succeeding year lias only added to it.’’ —Now York Evening Sun. Now for many a thousand year I havo wandored through the air. Tie my flinging that your hear When the Rummer winds are blowing. Over mossy banks agiowing With the daffodils bedewed; When the moon asleep doth Ue In her clouded tapestry. Though 1 Ring continually, Few -oh, few know I am by. Though I dwell In evory heart That Is pure--In overy art Where the master n hlle ho wroughtl Lot mo slip Into Ills thought; Only few can over hear Tho sweet message that T hear. Would you boliovo that Ariel Held tho hand of Raphael? It is true, and many times I whispered Shnkonponro wondrous rhymes, And before bright Sholley left This huiI earth, and wrs lioreft, Though I could not choose hut roam ItlM star llko brain was my host home. • There will yet rtiiother rise, LlHtonlug to my melodies.

One of the assistants at tho BritiHli museum tells me that visitors to that institution frequently have a hard time getting "acclimated" to the place. An hour spent in tlio rooms invariably gives tho visitor (for tlio first time) a headache. Sometimes it is only aftor repeated visits that one is able to in dulge his resenrcliOB ) without carrying away a heudacho with him. Women seem to be particularly sensitive to this curious malady, which is said to arise from the peculiar odor Grouted by tlio storage of so many books. You can get some idea of what this odor in by going to your book case, that has been closed for twenty-four hours, and open ing ono of the doors; immediately your olfactories will bo greeted by the mustiest fragranco imaginable.—Eu- geno Field’s London Letter. lUiplantlng Teeth. A dentist at Rockville, Me., has suc cessfully replanted four teeth in a boy’s mouth. Tho boy was taken to the den tist about eighHiours after an accident, when the liemorrliuge had caused. The lutter replaced the fractured labial por tion of the process, syringed tho sock ets witli a solution of phenal sodique and replaced the teeth in their natural position. lie then braided them all together with heavy linen thread. Three weeks after ho removed tho sup port and found tho teeth as firmly im planted as if they had never been nocked out.— Chicago Herald. A Collection of Clover*. Jumes L. Pennypacker, of Philadel phia, lias a curious collection of clov ers from different states. Tlio clovers are mounted upon a card so as to rep resent a four leaved clover. Ono leuf is made up of eleven four leaved clo vers, another of nine live leaved clo vers,another of nine six leaved clovers, and the fourth of six nine leaved clo vers. The stem is represented by a se ries of clovers containing cup or fun nel leuves, and at the very end is one clover having nine leaves and a cup and another clover having thirteen leaves.—Chicago Times. It \Va» G<*n«*roti*. A 9-year-old hoy at Kingston, N. Y., stopped a railroad train from running into a landslide and was presented with a toy drum and a $3 suit of elothes. Railroad corporations are never small about these things, al ways ready to fall back on Providence if an-accident occurs.—Detroit Free Press. Children’* Food. It never seems to occur to an Indian that there is anything that wo should regard as children’s food. Little chil dren are seen to eat pieces of meat be fore they have teeth, 8ome live and aom« die, but jthe mortality is large.- • FI IS lit IWituoiin WIimIuns The canal schooner H. G. Ely, of this city, George Moore, of Doluwurn, master, bus arrived with n cargo of lumber from North Curolinu. Mate John Bennett reported that when in Chesapeake liny, off Point-110-Point, on tiie aftornoon of Murch 17, witli u light breeze from tho westward, two wattles wore seen llrst on tho port bow, distunt ubout u quarter of a mile, lashing the water into foam. As the vessel drew nearer it was Been that one was ubout thirty feot in length, the other a little larger, anti thut they were engaged in deadly combat. Tho whules would rush ut ouch other, sometimes striking with their huge, square heads, but oftoner dodging the blows, and tlio srimllor seemed to havo tho best of it. They sounded often, und as often as they came to the sur face thoy throw tho water fifteen or twenty feet into tho air from their blow holes. When they came together tho blows sounded like tho fall of a pile driver, only not so clear, and the thrashing of tlioir tails threw the water huff masthead high. Tho crew of tho Ely wutched the combat for nearly hulf an hour, during which the larger whalo wus steadily driven to- wurd tho shore.—Philadelphia Times. lie Fill tiled and They Kit. A Mill Creek miner thus winds up the story of a light between 1,00U wolves that besoiged his cabin one night recently in the mountains of that region, incitud to frenzy by the notes of tlio aforesaid miner’s flddlo: "I Addled and they lit, and uto caeli other, till the hand began to tliiu out Every time I gave un extra rasp on the E string they howled louder and pitched in afresh. Thoy kept it un for throe hours, when there wasn’t more than forty or llfty loft, and they so blamed full that thoy could hardly waddle. But I fiddled and thoy fit for a second wind. When ono threw up tho spongo the others bolted him in a twinkling. By and by there wasn’t more Ilian a dozen left. But I fiddled and thoy lit and feasted. “When they got down to three, eacli one laid hold of another’s tail ana chawed for glory. Tho ring kont got ting smaller, but I Addled and tTioy cliuwed until thoro wus only a bunch of hair loft, and thut blowed away down hill. Tho snow was all red with blood and trampled down ton feet. Heads and bones were strung all down the canyon, and there wus fur enough in sight to stuff a circus tent. It wus tlio dumbest dog fight I over saw."— Virginia City Chronicle. ConiiniiUniit Trout Streams, Judge John W. Webster, who is widely known in Connecticut us an expert fisherman, takes an oncourag ing view of tho condition of tho trout streams thoro. Ho says: "In many places you cun now find ten trout where ten years ago you could got but one. The improved and improving condition of Connecticut fishing is due to a generous restocking of the streams in all sections of the state, Tho flsli commissioners are doing* a splendid work."—Philadelphia Lodger. Murilnr \ty Hypnotism. Lot us consider u case. I set a sub ject to sleep and place him in a soin narnbulic state. I then say to him; "You know A; ho is u contemptible fellow and is ever trying to injure you; ho must be put out of the wuy. Hero is u dagger. To-riiorrow”- ten days hence, for the suggest may extend over a considerable inter val—"you will make your way to his home; you will wuit till he quits the house and stab him without any pity. Ho must dio. You are not to remem ber ut ull thut I ordered you to kill him, even if you be hypnotized again." The subject takes the suggestion, and promises to kill the ono who bus be come his enemy. At the appointed hour lie will be at the place named, and will deal the blow with u steady band. Whether arrested or not for the deed, lie will find it out of Ins power to reveal the name of "the one who puL the dagger in his hand. The theme is ail attractive one, but cun flic thing be done?—Dr. J. M. Charcot in Forum. Came Near Fating Human FJ«*h. I was once on tho point of tasting human flesh myself. So pie of tho na tives had been helping us to build a house, and tlio completion of the work was celebrated with a feast. In the course of the dinner I helped myself from a dish whose contents resembled pork, and was about to taste of it when a friendly native nudged me’with his elbow and whispered one suggestive and sufficient word—‘‘Man." Inoeded no further explanation; but it must have been a great disappointment to tho cannibals, who would have been much pleased to think that a white map had eaten huuptu flesh.— Flowers of Europe. Of the 4,200 kinds of flowers which grow in Europe only 420, or 10 per cent., are odoriferous. Tho common est flowers are tho white ones, of which there are 1,104 kinds. Ixiss than one- flfth of these are fragrant. Of tho 951 kinds of yellow flowers 77 are odorif erous; of tho 823 red kinds, 84; of the 594 blue kinds, 81; of tho 308 violet blue kinds, 18; of the 240 kinds with combined colors 28 uro fragrant.—Ex change. ItesislHiine In tho Air. Experiments liuvo demonstrate!] that tho relation between the velocity of a projectile and tho resistance offered by the air to its motion differs materially from Newton's theory that tho resist ance is proportional to the sauare of the velocity. For velocities which are nearly equal to that of sound in the air the proportionate increase of the resistance is much greater than that of the velocity.—New York Journal. Dressmakers Blast lleware. Hero isa warning to dressmakers. A young woman in Bergerac, France, sent a dress to a mode, but forgot to removo from itspocket a very confi dential letter. The latter, instead of returning it, communicated its con tents to several neighboring gossips. The girl’s guardian has obtained, a verdict, compelling the dressmaker to return the letter und pay $00 damages and the costs.—New York World. Ktadlng Ilefore Retiring. It is wise at night to read, but for a few minutes, some books which will compose and soothe the mind; which will bring us face to face with the true facts of life, death and eternity; which will make us remember that man doth not livo by bread alone; which will give us, before wo sleep, a few thoughts worthy of a Christian man with ail immortal soul in him.—Canon Kingsley. No SmokclcHM Powder Wanted. No other government except that of Franco lias given an order for the smokeless powder invented some time ago. Military, men of the highest standing claim that the smoke of a bat tle Held saves hundreds of lives, and that smoke is os much to a battle as bugles and drums.—DeiroitFreo Press. A Long; Muttreio.
