Mirth and misery commingle oddly
it times to lighten the burden of
j wretchedness and woe which is the lot
| of the unfortunates who are inmates of
i the city’s great hospitals. A score of
j ivan-faced sufferers were distributed
i among the neat white cots of a medical
ward in Bellevue one day when a new
: patient was brought in. He was a
j diminutive edlored man, short, squat,
i thick-set, black as ebony, with heavy
J protruding lips and a bullet-shaped
j head sparsely sprinkled with kinky
[ gray black hair. He said he was George
j Smith, 33 years old, and was born in
“Loudon county, Virginy, sah." All
j was quiet in the ward save an occasion
1 ai groan from some weary sufferer,
' when the doctors, four of them, grave
| faced and dignified, came to examine
the new arrival.
“Well, George, how do you feel?”
asked the house physician, bending
I over the cot.
I The little darky looked at the doctors
askance for a moment, rolled his big
eyes around, and said mournfully:
“1'se hungry."
“Have you any pain?” asked the doc
tor.
“No, sah, ’ceptin’ I’se hungry.”
Then the doctors proceeded to make
the usual examination. In the middle
of his back they found a criss-cross
cicatrix.
“How did you get this?” the doctor
—i. ...i
! “Cow-bunkle," replied the patient,
tersely.
“What’s .his?” continued the Inquls
! ftor, placing his Anger on a big depres
sion in the calf of the patient’s leg.
“Dorg chawed It,” said Smith, apa
thetically.
A smile Aitted across the faces of the
doctors and a patient in the next cot
forgot to moan. Next the physician
found a mass of irregular scars, which
looked as if an eight-inch shell had
exploded and left its marks upon th>
patient's face and neck.
“Explosion?” queried the doctor,
pointing to the spot.
“Mewl kicked me,” sa’ ' Smith with
s you-make-me-tired air.
Even the grave equanimity of the
| men of medicine was disturbed, and pa
[ tients in adjacent cots laughed out
j right. Further examination showed a
network of scars on his face and neck
resembling the tracks In the New York
Central freight yards.
“Ttazer Ate," was Smith’s explana
tion.
“And where did you get these?” said
the doctor, with an amused smile, lay
ing his Angers on three big welts on the
negro’s scalp.
“Cakewalk. Kin I hev a chaw uv ter
baker?” he went on, and the ward was

MANY STAGE SETTINGS.
elaborate Preparation* for the Pro
duction of a New Modern
Drama.
The preparation for a new play, as
far as the scenery is concerned, is most
interesting. A complete model in min
iature is made about the size of one
the Gerin.m toy theaters seen In
the shops. T'-e picture Is carefully
painted, the if . s, if there be any, and
the foliage are cut out, and all the de
tails are followed with no less thought
‘.ban when the real affair is attacked.
I'he work is done in water color,
mounted on pasteboard, and if the
scheme be an interior there are real
•urtains in miniature, Aights of steps,
and the hangings, all seriously worked
out. It is something that would de
light the heart of a biiy and furnish
him with endless amusement. These

is produced and are then put away on
shelves, alas! only to warp and be
come covered with dust. cBut the mas
ter painter’s work does not end hers
by any means, for there are lights to be
arranged, since they play an impor
tant part in the performance, and
must be regulated by the scheme of
color, so there are long conferences
i with electricians and many discussions
with the makers of glass shades where
jy the exact tints may be obtained.
When every detail has been settled
then the great acres of canvas are
spread on the paint frames and the
Iruwing is begun. Large china pots
are used for the colors. These are ,
filled with paints, which are mixed :
! with water and a size, and enormous j
| brushes put the pigment on the can
! vus. It is wonderful to watch the
irtist, who dashes on the paint with no
apparent care and who has to work
fast to cover the surface before the
color dries, which it does quickly.—N.

The bust of Sir Joseph Paxton, the
architect of the famous Crystal palace
in London, is now being moved from Its
old position on the Terrace to the Pa
rade. The work of moving it. is much
like that of moving a house, for the bust
is one of the largest ever made. It waa
•ompleted in i860 and stands over nine
feet in height. Sir Joseph Paxton was
born in Bedfordshire in 1803, and was
knighted for his services in designing
j the Crystal palace. He died in Sydeu
| ham in 1865. His plan for the Crystal
. palace was accepted after 233 other
j plans had been declined. He also won
i fame as a landscape gardener and archi

AS BAD AS A FIRE.
Traveler In Texn* Wnn Compelled
to Move Three Time* In
One M«ht.
“Did you ever sleep in three differ
ent towns and in three different hotels
in one night., paying three times for «
l rather incomplete night's rest?”
The old traveling man threw out tht
question in an unconcerned way aftei
having listened in silence for an houi
while the other members of the Cornel
dub reeled off yard after yard of storiei
about the road, its pleasures, its dan
gers and its humors. The pause that
followed was only broken by some vio
lent but futile efforts by the stutterei
to launch a sentence.
“Well, I have done it," the old travel
ing man continued. “And I may add
that although I have been kept on tin
road for 20 years I have never met a man
who was able to boast of the same ex
perience. it -ame about in this way:
t was down in Texas in 1881 anil 1882,
and New Year’s day found me in a small
town called Longview, with my nosf
turned in the direction of the neighbor
ing town of Tyler. To get to one o1
these towns from the other you must
travel on two different railroads and
cover about 40 miles of ground, al
though the towns are hardly more Gian
15 miles apart as the crow dies. Long
view is on the International & Great
Northern, while Tyler is on theMineoIa
branch of the Texas Pacific. The twe
railroads cross each other at a junc
tion called Troop, about. 24 miles from
Longview and 18 miles from Tyler.
“I was having my dinner in the hotel
at Longview about six o’clock on the
evening of New Year’s day, when a first
elass norther came swooping down
-r-- -- j
ine Texas norther pray that you may
be spared from having the experience,
The wind will spring up without a mo
ment's warning, and L have seen it low
er the temperature 50 degrees in 00 min
utes. Kveryoue had been going around
in his shirt sleeves. After the norther
began an ulster was needed. There
was no fire in the house and no com
fort. My train did not leave until 11:10
p. rn. The only thing [ could think of
was to take a room and go to bed, and so
I did. I awoke at 10:30, jumped into my
clothes and caught my train.
“My watch showed a few minutes
after midnight when I arrived at
Troop and heard that the west-hound
train on the Texas Pacific wasjjny way
from two to three hours late. A band
of immigrants was waitiug for the sama
train ami thej' filled the waiting-room.
Some were cooking a meal on the red
hot stove in the middle of the room.
Others were sleeping on the benches
and on the floor. There was not a va
cant seat to be had and the atmosphere
was indescribable. The air outside was
pure enough, but the thermometer reg
istered ten degrees above zero, which is
not a very comfortable tem^rature
for a man without an overcoat or
gloves. There was only one way to keep
warm—to cross the tracks to the little
hotel opposite the station and crawl
into a warm bed for a couple of hours,
and this I did.
“I slept till 4:15 and caught the be
lated train at 4:43. There was only one
passenger, who left the train when we
reached Tyler at 5:15, and that was I.
it was pitch dark then, cold as Alaska
and so quiet, that your steps sounded
like hammer beats along the streets.
No one was stirring in the hotel at that
time and it took me a quarter of an hour
to wake up an old negro who was sleep
ing on the floor in the office. The first
thing I did when 1 got inside the house
was to dig out the keys to the bar and
to gulp down two big drinks of whisky.
And then I asked fora fire.
“ ‘No coal, massa,’ the old nigger an
swered, grinning like a split water
melon: ‘no wood nnntiffinv Massa had
better go to bed.’
“And so I did, to be sure, for the third
time that night. It was 5:45 o’clock
in the morning then and I slept like a
dead man till 9:30. Have you ever
heard the like of it? And yet mv lodg
ing for that night cost me only $1.50, »r
50 cents at each hotel. The fun of tt,
when it was all over, was worth $1.30,
I think.’’—N. Y. Sun.
Fruits Stop I ace Flower*.
Fruits are replacing flowers as deco
rations for the table, and for this pur
pose are used not fruit bought by the
pound, but fruit on its brandies. These
branches are entwined in the hanging
lamps, forming a sort of cradle whence
hang fresh currants, shining cherries,
plums with the bloom on them, golden
apricots, etc. On the bible, in little Hat
g! iss li.slics shaped like leaves, are ar
ranged cherries, currants and other
fruit in season. These cut glaas dlsheH
are made in a very practical form, with
a second compartment in which are
placed powdered sugar and a little
spoon. There may be four or six of
them, of fairly large size, or elHe little
sqm may be chosen, in which case there
should be one to each guest. New and
ingenious ideas for laying the table*
are being continually introduced. Thus
beside the plates are placed small crea
cent-shaped plates for salad, and some
times delicate little silver knivea and
forks, used only for thin purpose—Hi
in the case of fish knives-^are added.—
