Assumed Woes of Actress Too Much for Hls Composure. Recently a new play was performed In Prague, the principal characters in which are a beautiful young lady and a brilliant young offlcer.but are unable to marry because they are as poor as church mice. True, the young lady has a very rich uncle, from whom she hopes to obtain aid, but she very soon discovers that he is an arrant miser and will not give her a farthing. The woes of the lovers touched the hearts of many In the audience, but only one person proved really equal to the occasion. This was a worthy and wealthy baker, who had actually been moved to tears by the distressing scenes on the stage. At last hls heart overflowed, and the moment the rich uncle vanished with a bitter sneer at hls nieces folly on his lips, he rushed from his seat to the footlights, and, taking a purse from hia pocket, handed it to the astonished heroine, saying: Here, take this youll find a good dowry In It and have nothing more to do with that wretched miser. Every one in the theater roared at the good fellow; simplicity and generosity, but he could not see that he had done anything unusual, and, as he refused to take back the purse, the heroine, with a smile, laid It on a table, and the play went on. well-fille- d The Stings in Little Things.

Pliny Is the first to mention soap and he declares It to be an Invention of the Gauls, though he prefers the German to the Gallic soap. It was made In England in early times, for Richard of Devizes, writing In the reign of Richard I., quotes the words of a French Jew, who wrote still earlier: "At Bristol there is nobody who Is not or has not been a soapmaker. In the reign of Edward I. soap was largely manufactured at Coventry. In London the first soap works were established In 1524.
