The open terrncc in front of the De wan-i-Khas consists of two thrones, the black one of which, fnclng the riv er, was cut out of a' single slab of stone In 1G03. This black throne, which is about eleven feet long nnd support ed by octagonal pedestals, was built by Akbar in recognition of his son's title to the empire. Here Jchangir used to sit occasionally and see the fight of wild animals arranged for his amusement. The crack on the throne Is believed to have been caused by Lord Lake's bullet falling upon it dur ing the attack of 1803. According to tradition, however, it cracked when the Jat king of Bharatpur sat on the throne, for it was meant to be used by none but the real descendants of t(ie great niogul.

But because everybody is acting In private life every one thinks he can net upon the stage, aud there Is no pro fession that has so many critics. Every Individual in the audience Is a critic aiid knows all about the art of acting. But acting Is a gift. It cannot bo tpyght. You can teach people bow to net act ing, but you cannot tench them to act. Acting Is as much an inspiration as the making of great poetry and great pie turcs.

They Held Thentcm, Tcmplen, Feartt* Inn Halls nnd Lihrnrlc*. Tho nnciont ItoimiuH were extrava gantly fond of bathing. They got their notions about the bath as a luxury from the Greeks, and at one time there were nearly 1HX) public bathing estab lishments In Rome, sotue of which were the most beautiful and elaborate struc tures in the world. The baths of the Emperor Diocletian covered more tliau half a square mile and contained, besides immeuse basins and thousands of marble recesses, the aters, temples, halls for feasting, prom enades planted with trees, libraries, schools for youth and academics for the dlscusslous of the learned. The bathers sat on marble benches below tho surface of the water, around tho edge of the basins, scraping them selves with dull knives of metal and ivory and taking occasional plunges in to the water. Dissipated Romans would spend whole days in the bath, seeking relief from overindulgence in eating aud drinking the night before. Everybody, even the emperor, used these baths, which were opcu to every one who chose to pay the price of admission. It was not usual for tho old Romans to have baths In their houses, though at a date 1,000 years before that, or 3,000 years ago, the noblemen of an cient Greece had their dwellings sup plied with baths of terra cotta. t'-y Shoes for Service.

In many of the Greek Islands diving tor sponges forms a considerable part of the occupation, of the inhabitants. The natives make it a trade to gather these, and their income from this source is far from contemptible. In one of tho islands a girl is not permit ted to many until she has brought up a certain number of sponges and given proof of her skill by taking them from a certain depth. But In some of the islands this custom is reversed.
