THE BOWELS A MOVE WORK OFF A CO WITH TUB OK1GUI MOVECOUGh BEE'S LAXATIVE COUGH STRUP. COUGh BEST FOR A WAS HIS FUTURE KING. Henry Irving Did Not Know Signature of Prince of Wales. In J88IJ Iho prince of Wales was jmuch mien-sled in ( he ercation nnd organization of the Colli-go of lusiu lin Ivondon. Jlc i-nut-ed it to be inti mated to the Into Sir Henry Irving that it would show the interest of another nnd nllicd branch of art in , thc undertaking if the dramatic art ists would give a benefit for the new college. The prince even Htiggualcd 'that "Ifohcrl Maeniro" would do ex cellently for the ( K'cnsion , with an all stnr cast. Of course Irving wns delighted to help , nntl the result was a pplendid performance , at wlm-h the prince and princess ofYnle * attended , nnd a sum.of more than 1,000 was turned over to the college the en- .tirc receipts. Irving himself , says ; Mr. Brain Stoker in his "Personal fttcminisccnccs of ITenry Irving , " paid all the expenses. 'In the lirst year of ita working , when the class /or dramatic study wns organized , Irving was asked by the directorate to examine ii , which he did cheerfully- in due time iniulo his report. Soon afterward he received a letter of thanks for his services. ' Although quite formal , it was a most genial and kindly letter , and to the signature was appended "Chair man. " In acknowledging it to Sir i George ( Jrove , the director of Ihu college , Irving paid what a plensure it had been to him to be an examin er , and assured Sir George that he would gladly hold his services at the disposal of the college , lie added to his letter this postscript : "By the way , who is our genial friend , .Mr. Edward , chairman ? I do not think T have met him. " JIo got a horrified letter sent by messenger from Bjv George , explain ing that the signature was that of "Albert Edward" then prince of "Wales , now Jlis Majesty lUdward VI I. Youth's Companion. WOMAN'S NOSE IS FAULTY. Man's Power of Scent Five Times More Delicate Than Hers. An English doctor , having arrived , at the conclusion that no woman was a judge of wine , started a scries of experiments recently to determine 'tho reason. lie started out with the ( proposition that the feminine taste was so bad that a woman could not | cvcu distinguish whether a sample 'of ' wine was very good or very bad. He located the incapacity in the IECUSC of Hindi. A woman's sensitiveness - , ness to odors ho appraises far below ; thnt normally possessed by men , The experiments were made by diluting - [ luting essences with pure water and testing the limit of strength at ivhich men and women could detect hem and distinguish their chnrac- cr. cr.The average man , it wns found could easily detect the presence ol cmon essence diluted with 200OOC , times its own bulk of water. Womci could only recognize it in a mixture of one part in10,000. . He concludes that the reason whj some women use large quantities o : ) Crfumo is that their sense of smcl 3 specially obtuse and that they onlj obtain from a considerable quantity of can do cologne or perfumed toile Avntcrs the same sensation that i man would gain from a drop or two BALLOONING THE WHIRLWIND. llulluoning across the country in i whirlwind is one of the sports which says the London Globe , one must b an aeronaut quand memo to enjoy I the full. Such an experience fcl to the lot of two French gentlemen MM. Lee and Wawaek. They wen up from Bordeaux at 11 p. in. , unil with the "witching hour of night drawing on , were caught up in powerful hurricane and \vhirle away with a rapidity which fable it self never claimed for the witch o her broomstick. Prom Bordeaux t the Pyrenees they were carried i a couple of hours. BUTTER. Mattie Sheridan , editor of a Ne York periodical , is one of the briglv cst wits in that big town. One nigl when the Hungry club , of which si : is the presiding genius , was dinin at the Billy Goat , a member showc signs of annoyance. "What's the matter ? " she ii quired. "There's no butter. " "What , " she exclaimed , throwin up her hands , "no butter at tl Billy Goat ? " And the void was filled. Febn I * nrv Bohemian. LEARNING TO TALK WELL. Women Have Inctltuted Classes In Voice Culture. So many ugly things have been said about the American woman's voice that her pride has been aroused nnd she has now set herself the task of abolishing all grounds for criti cism of her use of her vocal organs. Classes in voice culture arc the latest thing. The pupils arc not learning to sing. They are learning to speak English benutifully nnd miiRicnlly. They are ( might to breathe prop erly , to enunciate dearly , to speak in mellow , throaty tones and other wise to correct the "nasal , whining , slniflling' ' speech whereof they have been accused. The exorcises may be practiced at home. They include particular care to speak deliberately and with pre cision ; reading aloud to one's self a good hour each day , and closing the eyes nnd focusing the thought upon the voice while practicing to make it so delightful thnt if one heard it coming from the next room one would desire to meet its owner. With nil these practicing : ) a ncc- f'ssnry thing is to keep mind nnd body in good condition , for the voice is quickly afl'cctcd by a sluggish con dition of either. An unpleasant , meandering , irritating manner of speech rarely , emanates from a per sonality thnt is keen , direct and wholesome. DIME NOVEL IN GERMANY. Practically extinct in America , the ' 'dime novel" is said to bo ravag ing Germany. According to Johan nes Siebert , most German boys prefer an Indian story to any other book. Their hearts bent fast ns they read the adventures of trnp- , pers and settlers , gaze with awe into 'wigwams , and hear the howls of the V-6lVes. This interest began with the publication in 1823 of "The Spy' ' by Cooper , followed soon by bis other stories. These novels , however , did not FCOIU quite suitable for boys , so they were bearbcitcL for the young folks. Later the adapters began to construct their own plots and incidents , outcoopering their .model in his most adventurous moods. The results , says Siebert , arc 'terrible ' to contemplate. There arc in Germany i.bout 300 "Grosso" 'firms , with 3,000 travelers , to sell such books. An edition of 100,000 is not an unusual thing. They arc adorned with glaring illustrations , and one may buy such a volume ol perhaps -30 pages for less than a dime. RUNAWAY STARS. There is in the constellation oi the Great Bear a famous little stai which has been called a ' 'runaway' ' .because of the extraordinary speed with which it is moving. This little star is so far away thai the effect of its motion can only be noted by careful astronomical ob servations. Prof. Newcomb has sail ; , of the star , which bears the name " 1830 Groombridgc , ' ' that the unit ed attractions of the entire univors < could not have set it going with sucl velocity , and would be unable to ar rest it. Some years ago Prof. Kapteyr announced the discover } ' of a tele scopic star in the Southern hciuis phcrcj in the constellation Pictor which appears to be moving consid erably faster yet. What its ren velocity is , however , can only be dc tcrmincd when its distance is inatli known. ROUGH ON DEPEW. Mrs. Depew , wife of the senator tells a story of her wedding torn They had among their follow passcn gcrs a stodgy , slow-witted Scotch ; inan who liked the conversation o 'the ' orator , though he did not kuo\ him. "That's as Chauncey lepo\ always tells the tale , " said Mr. DC pew , finishing off one of his storio ; "What like is this ( . 'hauncey DC pew ? " asked the Scot. ' 'My dear , said the humorist , turning to hi bride , "what does Dopow look like ? "Very much as you do , 1 imagine , answered the lady. "Surely , niadan you do your husband an injustice , answered the Scotsman , with a gcs hire of expostulation and protest. CHEERING. "Sir , " said the young man , "wi you permit me to pay 1113 * addrcssc to your charming daughter and tr if 1 can make her love me ? " "Certainly , my dear boy , an there is no reason why you shoul not sin-coed. Lots of others have. " A Toilet Tragedy.
