On it all that art can do has been luvish&l. Muxlo Of a rich, beautiful plusli of dragon's blood hue, it hangs from the proscenium arch in artistic folds. Tho curtain was presented to Mr. Irving by tho Baroness Burdett Coutts, its cost beiiif? 1,000 guineas. Ono thousand yards of plush wcro used in its manufacture, and it achieved the fame of once being parodied in a CJaiety burlesque. Mr. rndhaiu'a curtain at tho Crite rion is a creation or JVlaple tss tjo. ana cost about 120. At tho Oaiety the pres ent act drop is tho work of Mr. George Banks. The artist s conception takes tho form of a great wliito satin cloth, with a solitary figure opening two cur tains. The Savoy curtain is noted both for its beauty and tho artistio manner in which it rises and reveals the stage. The act drop at the Adelphi, tho homo of creepy" melodrama, is curtain which has marked the resting places of count less pieces of tho transpontine type. Xt represents a scene in Sherwood forest in the days of Robin Hood and his mer ry, merry men. London Million. Literary Men'. Papers.

Superstition Tliut Is Ancient. In many parts of Ureat Britain tho superstition still survives that it is folly or madness to save a drowning man, as ho will sooner or later do an injury to tho rescuer. The superstition comes down from our ancestors, yet traces of it exist among tho Sioux and other In dians, who seem to have inherited it from aboriginal sources. Tho belief is most prevalent in Cornwall and various parts of Scotland. Chicago Herald, Tlio Faeg of a Silver Dollar. Soma numismatist, who delights in studj-ing the face of the American dollar. announces that it "presents upon tho ob verse side rot only a very good likeness of Ueorgo II, but also a clearlj' delineated representation of tho head of the British lion."

Explaining; a IlablU An observant statistician makes the amazing assertion that girls with re trousse noses marry sooner and aro more fortunate in catching good husbands than young ladies whoso features are of the Greek or Roman type. Then there may bo method in the habit of some young ladies of turning up their noses at every man that approaches them. Bos ton Transcript. A Scene In tlio Attorney General's OfHco. Representative Wilson of West Vir ginia, whoso distinguished position in tho honso entitles him to tho utmo.st ro- npect nnd consideration at tho hand.4 of any Democratic official, entered tlio oilii.-o of tho attorney general. ' Tho room was crowded with applicants for ofices, nnrt Mr. Olney was very much harrassed. Mr. Wilson stepped forward to the at torney general's desk. Mr. Olney turnwl savagely upon lmu. "Sir, he paid, "you havo come up out of your tnrii. You aro doing nn injus tice to those who havo lceu waiting here, and you will havo to go back to tho foot of tho lino aud await your turn. Mr. Wilson, who is an exceedingly mild mannered gentleman, looked at tlio attorney general in. amazement. Ho did not show his temper, however, but with chiding iHlitoner..4 iucpaired: "Did I hear yon aright? Did you say I must go back and await my turn.-' "I did, Bir," replied the attorney gen eral. Very well, eir," s.-iid tho West Vir- r.nian haughtily, "I shall go back, hut shall not return. When you desiro to seo mo, you can Bend for me. It was not until Mr. Wilson had de parted that Attorney Oeneral Olney learned who it was that ho had nitron ted. Washington Cor. Cleveland Plain Dealer. Tlio Correct l.ontonnlere. The question of "buttonholes" is prob ably one which does not vitally affect the condition of the community. At tho same time it is satisfactory to learn on excellent authority that coats of fashion will not this season bo adorned with multicolored and built up arrangements of flowers. Simplicity is to bo tho order of the dav. A la France rose, a garde nia or a Malmaison carnation, reposing in its own foliaero and with a stalk ns long ns possible, is to bo carelessly thrust through tho aperture which no tailor ever meant to be confronted with a button. In short, tho innocence of tho directoiro dajs is presumably to bo re established. In nnv case tho movement should bo supported if only for tho rea son of suppressing tho unnatural nose gays which havo for so long waxed fierc er in wealth of wire. London Tele graph. How Confiding nnd Unsuspicious. Evidently tho jailors of R. Irving Lati mer, the .Michigan murderer, regarded him as a "perfect gentleman." They knew that ho had murdered his mother, but they did not believe ho would poison his kind keepers. Therefore they ac cepted little culinary attentions on his part, discussed real estato operations, etc.. with him and were vastly surprised to find that tho gentle hearted murderer had broken jail. What confiding, un suspicious persons aro connected with tho prisons of Michigan nnu Xsew loi'K, to bo sure! W. S. Oilbert would lie re nuired to do justice to them. Buffalo Express.

In this country when it corned to the ousting of hallots tlio person elected to tho position awurdeu hy the suffrage of tho peoplo is always extremely proud of tho result, oven thoueh ho mny not be especially desirous of holding office. In other cotintrios, too, tho recipient of the greatest number of ballots at the polls is apt to swoll with undo over the out come of tho voting, but there is a case on record in Japan where the winner at the polls was not only sorry for his suc cess, but cauio through that success sub- Boauently to wish ho had never been born. This was in the villnco of Awn and tho person honored, or dishonored, by the majority voto woa a Jap of tho nanio of Abi Tamhei. It seems that tho villago of Awa was harrassod by a midnight robber whom nobody could detect. Tho head of the hainlot summoned tho cntiro malo pop ulation under his chnrgo and directed every man to write tho name of tho per son whom ho suspected and to deposit tho paper in a box. Fifteen ballots bore tho namo of Abi Tanihei, tho rest being blanks. Tho man whom even-body dis trusted wus so much overcomo with as tonishment tliut he mado a full confes sion and went to prison. Ilarper's Young Peoplo. Ills Solemn Oath. A popular comedian tells a story of a waiter at a London restaurant who was sadly Kivon to drink. A party of young men determined to reform him, nnd ono day they rend to him an imaginary par agraph from a paper relating a terriblo accident in which an inebriate in blow ing out a ciuidlo was killed by tho flame igniting the alcoholic fumes of his breath. James pricked t i Ins cars at this and requested that 1 10 paragraph might be road to him again, which was done, to the evident horror ot tho poor man, who immediately went in search of a Bible. Returning with this, ho oxpressed a desire to take a solemn oath upon it, be moanod tho fact that he had been a sorry tippler nnd was bringing himself to ruin, and then swore thnt never again so long as he lived would ho attempt to blow out a candlo.
