York Her- 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 relegated, in this city anyhow, to the MOURNERS' BY 1st Idly watching an Idle salt Wbart sans youc shljir On. turned bar bead. -By the sweet Spies Islands It lies." she said.

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.

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.
