Gallery Audiences.
“Gallery audiences,” said a veteran
attache of one of Philadelphia's .theaters
recently, “are made up of some of the
most intelligent playgoers , in the city.
Young men of moderate incomes pre
vail, but often wealthy youths go among
the gods, as their elevated station af
fords in many respects the most advan
tageous place from which to view the
stage. The receipts from the gallery,
moreover, are a very important item, and
the people in it do good work in lending
the applause. Edwin Booth always be
gins an after the play speech by gazing
np at the gallery in recognition of its en
thusiasm in greeting him.
“Lawrence Barrett was always popu
lar with the gods in Philadelphia, and he
used to say their applause wns us a re
freshing drink to him. For the most
part the gallery audiences were well be-
buved, critical and intelligent, and for
myself I should feel sorry to toe them

Tha Mandolin.
The stringed musical instrument
which is peculiarly suited to ladies is
the mandolin. It comes from Italy and
was introduced here by the Spanish stu
dents, who made so great a success at
Booth's theater so many years ago. Mrs.
William Waldorf Astor was one of the
first ladies to learn to play tho mando
lin! her ability, however, with this in
strument was not made known to any
extent ontsido of her home cirole.—New

Thu Dewey Byitom.
Tho Dewey system of cataloguing s
library was devised by Mr, Melvil Dew
ey, at present director of the state li
brary. In it all lawks are classified into
urtnin number of'principal subjects,
which, in alphabetical order, receive
numbers; for instance, astronomy may
1, Thou the subjoets are divided,
and each division receives a docimal;
for example, history may bo 1; thus
tho history of astronomy Is nmnbered
.1. Thu divisions are farther subdi
vided, nnd each subdivision roceives a
number expressing hundredths. Books
on tho history of iistronoiny in America
might be 1.13.
After these como, when necessary
further subdivisions still, and then, in
practice, come tho shelf mnrks, which
show where the hook Is to ho found.
The system, theoretically, is perfect:
practically it is cumbrous, and, oxcept
to tho cataloguer, unsatisfactory. Adapt
ed In various ways, it Is used in many
libraries, however.—Now York Sun.
