them and sighed heavily.
" Whitt company did you come here

One of the women mentioned the name
of a con:limy that played in it very Recta -

ewes for tumoral weeko.
"And °isn't you find anything to do

" No, eir ; our company was so large

banded, and there isn't an opening left for
one of us now. We have epplied every-
where, and no matter whine we go we hear
the same old story that there are more rop.
plioants then there are vacaneies."
In aeswer to other questions they told a
sad story of their etrugglee. For ttvo
weeka previotte to the giving up of the
fight by the manager of the cornpeny00
salaries were paid to she supernumerariee,
and the little morey that they had saved
had been spent for board and lodging.
Then came the math, and the members of
the company began running about in
search of engagements The company had
come from Chicago and very few of them
had money eel:nigh to pey their way home.
The women said that they were threatened
with ejectment from their boarding places,
mid were arxiona to go hack to Chicago.
Mr. Hanley put his name on the list for
a subscription and the women thanked
bimi and tripped away. Then Mr. Henley
said
"That is the other side of the theatriael
business. Those girls on the etage were
&weed up in tights and spanglea and wore
trinkets that flashed and sparkled like
genuine jewels. At the same time they
were in danger of being thrown out of their
home in a strange city. This is not by any
means an uncommon coonrrence. Yoa

selves on the stage. Just as soon as they
earn money enough to pay their fare to
Chicago they will go home. It is likely
that their career on the stage will then end,
and that they will be perfectly eittisfieri to

their parents until they are married."
IT WAS _RAINING.
A etory Which Illustrates the Weakness
of Some People.
Many of our every -day remarks, said
Eli Perkins, when anal), zed philosophically,
are very absurd, bat still they may have a
humorous side. The other morning, says
the Boston Herald, while the rain was

two ola friends met at the post -office.
"4 Reining, isu't it?" inquired Mr.
Johneon.
"What say 2" asked Thompson, who wae
hard of hearing.
"1 say its raining."
" I don't quite catch what yonsay," said
Johnson, putting bis hand to his ear.
"1 say," roared Thompson with full
imaraogrAmesewe,nit.htd4.0" raining 1—rainy day 1"
Johneon's face colored with suppressed
rage as he pase.ed on. Then, turning
suddenly, he Melted at his friend and
al:touted :

two men stood there gesticulat.
I heard this dialogue, only

" GENTLEMEN : For many years I have
been suffering from catarrh, neuralgia
and general debility. I failed to obtain
any permanent relief from medical ad-
vice, and my friends feared I would
never find anything to Cure me. A
short time ago I was induced to try
Hood's Sarsaparilla. At that time I
was unable to walk even a short dis-
tance without feeling a

overtake me. And I had intense pains
from neuralgia, in my bead, back and
limbs, which were very exhausting.
But I am glad to say that soon after I
began taking Hood's Sarsaparilla i saw
that it was. doing me good. I have
now taken three bottles and am entirely
Cured of NeuTalgia.
I am gaining in strength rapidly, and
can take a two-mile walk without feel-
ing tired. I do not suffer nearly so
much from catarrh, and find that as my
strength increases the catarrh cle.creases.
I am indeed a changed woman, and
shall always feel grateful to Hood's Sar-
saparilla for what it has done for me.
'a Is My Wish
that this my testimonial shall be pub-
lished in order that others suffering as I
was may learn how to be benefited.

Some Hints to Mothera.
It becomes mothers, from the moment
that their children begin to eat solid food,
to sea that they heve meat and vegetables
and milk, egge, fruit, bread and port:Agee
of the unbolted graite, and aa little pastry,
fine.flour bread, rind confectionery as
possible, ict order that they may at once
begin moreting tho material for round
second teeth, which come under any cir-
oumstances, to be sure, but which under
hostile circumstances go without long
waiting en the order o/ their going. It
is equally tomeesery to see this% the toad
agrees with the Add ; for if it is not of it
kind easily oigesited, then the gases of ita
fermentation will rise and injure the teeth,
and the heated blood oceasioned by indi-
gestion will make diseases of the gums, also
hurtful to the teeth, and armee more sensi-
bility in the nerves to pain at d to hest and
cold. Alternations of heat arid cold, by the
way, are quite as bad for the teeth as tedi-
geetibie teed, the delicate enamel being
obedient, as every other substance is, to the
laws of contraction and expitneicen cruising
and aplittiag under the process, and afford-
ing opporianity for the beginning of decay
by lodgment of food, or even by the entrance
of the common Kir. Thee is is hardly a
metier of doubt whether ice water or me
cream are tot of great detriment to the
teeth, whether good or bed for the atomaah,
and if hot tea and coffee, or even plain hot
water, are not equatly potent for harm.
