THU THEATERS OF LONDON.

Aj> Enormous Business—The Lord Chamberlain's Autocratic Powers. There are thirty-air theaters in London. They represent an investment In land of over $200,000,000. They employ at least iO,OOO persons — actors, stage hands, and people in front of the house. These are in direct and contin aal service. The seating capacity is 75,000. The average attendance is 51,000. The average admission is Is ll4d, or 38 cents. The average return, then, is about £4,000. This is for ?very performance, and including .adnees. Most of the theaters give matinees —socie of them two, and even three, a week. The Jjord Cnamberlain’s play-reader revises plays, exercises an autocrat ! c authority over theaters, bullyrags managers, and is decent or not as the spirit moves him. Let me say he is usually decent. His name is Mr. P>got, an ex-bm rister. He has an office down near bt. James’ Palace. His duties are to 11 ease plays, and when he has said a phi cannot lie put on, that settl s it, t 1 re is no appeal. Salmi iv orse appeal* d from one court to another in New ork, but had he applied to the Lord Chamberlain and received an adverse answer that would have ended the matt " then there, a d he would have saved considerable i oney. Not that the Lord Chamberlam ever meddle wit i pla s; he is too important an o eei d for that, and the supervision of this branch of his duties jr perfunctory, quite. He lias charge o public buildings uml palaces; has an office at Westminster, and is a vef/ high and might'- man all round; but ti e play-reader is a retiri g little chap, with a literary turn of mind and a stern seime of duty. Whenever a play is to be produced it : i so.: to mm w.tli a fee of one gu’nea 'm- one' ct. He immediately se n 1.. .‘or tho guineas, and that l 4 the * ; u -ai < f them.

It i m. *iy f-j'r rims to iudicat wit • i: will not allow au * lay or part o it; he only snv'j yes’ ( no, and tie re an end. A abort time ago a Canadian friend of jriue sent in n Melodrama. in seven a/ fs, to put before a Condon manager. manag r ju< iped at it and madj •reparation for its -<rod ’ction, saying*. -'.Jh, the license is all right; lie won’t interfere.” but he did. The play waa sent around to him as soon ais the parts were copied, and with them the necessary seven guineas. In a few days notice was sent to the manager that the piece could not be played. We Went to see him, and asked to make alterations. He said that he didn’t tniud telling us tliat the Irish scene was the objectionable feature, and if we had a mind to cut that- out ans change the timo of action, so that it would not deal with the Government of to-day, lie w O4lll permit its production, Now the play had only one Irish scene, and it dealt with a peaceful village where- there was a comparative prosperity, but out of which there subseJuently came the thread of a plot. Iu iondon the troubles of the hero led to su appeal bemg made to the Home Secretary, who, by the way, is not represented, only referred to, and then not by name, and his refusal to interfere calls fovth an effort to escape, and naturally enough leads to liis being called “a hard-hearted man.” Beyond this there is no reference to him, but that was the ground upon which the time of the action must be shifted. “Can I put it inro the period of ttie Beaconsiield Government?” said the manager. “That I can’t say until I have seen what you make it there'” “Can’t I take it to a time when the Home Secretary was an unpopular man ?” “I can’t toll you. This you can do, however. You can take it out of the reign of Queen Victoria.” “But, bless you, that would spoil the play altogether. It of a necessity deals with the present.” Well, the play was not produced, and won’t be. —New York World.

Japan Tea.

* Japan tea is not a favorite in them days.’’ said a grocer. "Tea years ago a rage in its favor set in, and" the ,Tap«iese tea was called for on’all sides, ut it fell out of public favor as raply as it came in. Wliv ? It had not gnoUgh of merit to Keep it in. The Irst lots we got from Japan were choic6 m quality, because the growth was paall and great attention was paid to Be culture, with, hopes for the future. B»t the demand increased in a few Jumps, care was abandoned by the growers, and the only object sought was to fill tlie orders. Consequently the Japanese tea that found its way to the American market was a sorry lot. Tea lovers soon found it out, and the Chinese stimulant was taken again and found much better. Not only were the old and tough leaves of the "tea plant picked at all times of the year, instead of the young green ones of the spring season, but wisteria leaves were mixed in with them. When the Japan tea first came here the dried leaves had a delicate olive tint and were long and wiry. Now they are broken and range in color ftrom black to yellow, the .result of artificial colorings with various blues, gypsum, and soapstone.—Cleveland Herald. 'I AM choost as full ash a bag of flour,” remarked an inebriate tor. sober friend. “There is a difference between you and a sack of flour, kov.v\or.* "Whaa ish difference?” “When a s.i -k is full it can stand up, but .when you ere lull you can't ovm lie down on t!i-» ground wit! out holding ou.” -, e.. a* Biftiua*.
