Dodged the Mustard Pet.
I
During the rehearsals of a panto
mime lu a Scottish town (Glasgow, I
think Glasgow has always been an
eventful plaee to me!) a child was
wanted for the Spirit of the Mustard
I'ot. What iuok natural than that my
father should offer my services? I had
a shock of pale yellow hair, I was
small enough to be put Into the prop
erty mustard put, and the Glasgow
stage manager would easily assume
that I had luherlted talent My father
had acted with Macready In the stock
seasons both at Edinburgh and Glas
gow and bore a very high reputation
with Scottish audiences. But the stage
manager a ud father alike reckoned
Without their actress! When they tried
to put me Into the mustard pot I yelled
lustily and showed more lung power
than aptitude for the stage.
'Tut your child Into the mustard pot,
Mr. Terry," said the stage manager.
"Hang you and your mustard pot,
sir," said my mortified father. "I won't
frighten my child for you or any one
else."
But, ull the same, be was bitterly dis
appointed at my first dramatic failure,
and wheu we reached home he put me
in the cotiu-i' to chasten me. "You'll
never make au nctress!" he said, shak
ing a reproachful finger at me.—Ellen
Terry In MeClure's Magazine.
Preferred the Baby's Voice.
A New York scientist, the father of
a large and growing family, has his
tr.jul ili-s. one evening bla youngest
was holding forth In her best style.
The mother could do nothing with the
child, so the man of science went to
the rescue.
"I think I can quiet little Flora," he
said. There's no use humming to her
In that silly way. What she wants Is
real music. The fact that I used to
slut? In the glee club at Tale and sing
well, too. may make a difference."
Accordingly, the professor took the
child and, striding up and down the
room, sang In his best manner. He
had not finished the second verse of his
song when a ring was heard. The
door was opened, and there stood a girl
of fourteeu, who said:
"I'm one of the family that's Just
moved Into the flat next to yours.
There's a sick person with us, and be
says. If It's all the same to you, would
you mind letting the baby cry Instead
of singing to It?"—Success.
A Considerate Musician.
Many stories are told of the Jealousy
and III feeling among musicians, so It
Is refreshing to note that at least one
genius did not fail In good natured ap
preciation of a fellow artist It Is re
lated how Rossini, walking one day on
the boulevard with the musician Bra
ga, was greeted by Meyerbeer, who
anxiously inquired after the health of
hLs lenr ltossinl.
"Bail." answered the latter. "Fright
ful headaches, legs all wrong."
After a few minutes' conversation
Meyerbeer passed on, and Braga asked
the great composer how It happened
that he had suddenly become so un
well.
Smilingly ltossini reassured bis
friend. "Oh. I couldn't be better. I
merely wanted to please Meyerbeer,
lie would so like to see me go to
smash!"—St. Louis Republic.
Why They're Trams Abroad.
"Abroad," said a tourist agent, "yon
must call street cars trams and street
railways you must call tramways. If
you speak of trolleys over there, you
won't be understood. The word tram
must puzzle the average etymologist.
It derives from a man's name—Outran
—Thomas Outram. OUtram lived In
Derbyshire, anil In the beginning of
the last century he in\'ented a peculiar
sort of track that diminished the fric
tion between wheels and roadbeds.
Those tracks of Otitram's, though noth
ing like a trolley track, were called
first outramways, then tramways, and
when street lines and street cars came
Into existence they were dubbed re
spectively tramways and trams."
A Crocodile In a Tree.
An African hunter once found
a
large crocodile hanging in the fork of
a tree about ten feet from the ground.
As the place was fully half a milt
from any water, it was difficult to ac
count for the crocodile's strange posi
tion. When questioned upon the sub
ject. the natives explained that it was
put there by an elephant. It seems
that when the elephants wade Into the
Lake \"y:mii to bathe the crocodiles are
In the habit of worrying them and bit
leg ilietr legs. Sometimes when an
elephant Is annoyed beyond endurance
it 1 licks up its tormefltor in Its trunk,
puts It among the branches of a tree
and leaves It there.—London Graphic.
Trees and the Air.
According to a reliable computation,
a single tree Is able through Its leaves
to purify the air from the carbonic acid
arising from the respiration of a con
siderable number of men, ns many as
a dozen or a score. The volume of
carbonic id exhaled by a human be
ing lu the course of twenty-four hours
is estimated at 100 gallons, and a sin
gle square yard of leaf surface, count
ing lioth the upper and under sides of
the leaves, can decompose about a
gallon of carbonic add in a day.
A Legacy.
"What's your fare?" asked old Fllnt
skln of his cHbby the other day and
was met with the stereotyped reply:
"Well, sir, I will leave that to you."
"Thank you. you are very kind,"
old Fllntskln, buttoning up
said
bis
pockets
and walking off. "You're the first per
son who ever left me anything yet"—

Taking the Hint.
At home stations the private soldiers'
washing is usually done by the mar
ried soldiers' wives, who are expect
ed to sew ou missing buttons ami do
repairs, for which a small sum Is de
ducted from the private's pay.
Pat MeGlnnls had a good deal of
trouble with his laundress. Sunday
after Sunday had his shirt come back
with the neck button oft' or else hang
ing by a thread. He had spoken to Uer
on the subject, and she had promised
to see to It. but still the button was
not ou proiierly.
He got out of patience one Sunday
when the missing button had made him
late for parade and exclaimed:
"Bother the woman! I'll see if 1
can't give her a hint this time, any
how."
Ue then took the 1U1 of a tin black
ing box about three Inches in diame
ter, drilled two holes in It with a fiyk
and sewed It on to the neck of the
ahlrt that was next to lie washed.
When Ills washing came back he
found she had taken, the hint. She
had made a buttonhole to fit it!— Ten
don Answers.
Cuteness of Old Time Doctors.
Synge's "Social Life In England"
quotes a number of fourteenth century
hints to success for physicians which
indicate that as far back as 500 years
ago the medical man, in popular oplu
lon at least, had in him the stuff that
alienists are made of:
Suppose you know nothing, say there
la an obstruction of the liver. Perhaps
the patleut will say, "Xay, master, it
Is my head or legs that trouble me."
Repeat that It comes from tho liver,
and especially use the .word "obstruc
tion," for patients do npt understand
It, which Is Important.
Never dine with a patleut who has
not paid you it will be cheaper to get
your dinner at au Inn, for such feasts
are usually deducted from tho sur
geon's fee.
When you are treating a wouud or
accident, the friends of the patient
should be excluded, for they may faint
and cause a disturbance, but some
times a higher fee may be got from
persona present fainting and breaking
their heads against wood and the like,
than from the principal patient.
A Lost Dollar.
A missionary blshpp told at a dinner
in New York, according to tho Sun,
this story about F.. Marion Crawford,
the famous novelist^
"Mr. Crawford to school," he
said, "lu Concord, find one day ho was
taken to call at a Concord clergyman's.
The clergyman had a missionary box
on his drawing room' table, and, time
hanging heavily on the boy's hands,
be
he
amuaed himself with trying whether a
silver dollar—it was all the money lie
had In the world, and he had converted
It Into that gigantic coin for safety
would go into the slit in the box's top.
It was a close fit, but unfortuuately It
did go, and the coin slipped out of tho
embryo author's fingers. There was a
terrible crash of silver falling among
the coppers, and then the boy, as the
novelists say, 'knew no more.' When
came to himself he found the clergy
man and his family In raptures over
his generosity."
You Could Slip Off tho Edge.
There was a time—centuries ago, of
course—when the learned men of the
world really thought that tho world
was a square—not merely flat, but that
It was a cule. The primitive geogra
phers of Egypt, Assyria and China all
taught that the world was a "square
plane." One of the most curious dis
coveries ever inade In Central America
concerning l'oltec beliefs, symbols, etc..
Is that they also had a similar idea
concerning the form of what wo now
speak of as the "globe." A writer on
the discoveries made among the monu
mental ruins of that country says,
"They (meaning the Peruvians, Toltecs
and Quiches) believed the world to be
a cube, suspended from the heavens
by cords of gold fastened to each of
Its corners."
Good In Everything.
The late Sir Wilfred Lawson, we*
known a9 an English temperance re
former as well as a wit, invariably
took a cheerful view of life and-con
duct. In conversation with him one
day an ardent person railed forcibly
against the practice of christening
vessels with champagne before being
launched. Sir Wilfred did not alto
gether agree and said a good temper
ance lesson might be Ion rued from the
practice.
"How can that be?" demanded the
other.
"Well," replied the baronet, "after
the first taste of wine the ship takes
to water and sticks to It ever after."
The Rivals.
"My work," remarked the baldhead
ed dentist, "is so painless that my pa
tients often fall asleep In the chair
while I am operating."
"Hum! That's nothing," retorted his
rival. "My patients nearly all Insist on
having their pictures taken while I am
at work In order to catch the expres
alon of delight on their faces."—Lon
don Express.
Another Comparison.
"She has a face like an Incandescent
globe."
"Mercy, what a shape!"
"I wasn't referring to the shape."
"What then?"
"To the fact that it lights up so beau
tifully."—Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Original Organ Grinder.
Wheu barrel orgaus, once the usual
accompaniment of the utaglc lantern,
came into use a native of the province
of Tenile was one of the first who trav
eled alHHit Europe with this Instru
ment. lu his peregrinations he collect
ed money enough to enable him to pur
chase from the king of Sardinia the
title of count of the country where he
was born, for which probably In a
tin* of war he did not pay above
1,000 guineas. With the remainder of
Ills money he purchased an estate suit
able to his rank and settled himself
peaceably for the remainder of his
days in his mausion. In tho entrance
hail of his dwelling ho hung up his
magic lantern and his orgitii facing the
door, there to te carefully preserved
till they moldered to dust, and he or
dered by his will that any one of his
descendants who should cause them to
be removed should forfeit Ills Inherit
ance and his fiatrlmony revert to the
uext heir or In failure of a successor
to the hospital of Tende. Only a few
years ago the organ and lantern were
still to bo seen carefully preserved.—
Pearson's Weekly.
The Manchester Martyre.
Along in 'ii~ or thereabouts some
Irishmen tried to rescue a bunch of
Fenian prisoners lu Manchester, and a
police sergeant was shot and killed.
Tho prisoners got away, which may
have had something to do with the up
shot too. The government waa natur
ally sore, and they managed to hang
three of the rescue party without too
uiudi tine hatred fuss as to whether
they had anything to do with the shoot
ing or not. At that time Fenians and
Nationalists were at daggers drawn,
and the church was heavy against the
Fenians, of course, but they were aM
one, one in agony and ahame over
those Irish boys struug up In un Eng
lish towu. All their helplessnesa, all
tho bitterness of England's might, Eng
land managed with those haltera te
drive festering deep afresh. Tllnll of
a town the slice of Dublin turning out
a funeral procession of 00,000 people,
anil think of how those 60,000 Irish
were feeling when I tell you they were
quiet—quiet lu thoso streets where
the lowest hovels had hung out their
bits of green-twined black.—McClure'a
Magazine.
Shop Without a Name.
In the Devonshire town of Modbury
there is a butcher's shop which haa ne
name nor has it had one for the last
120 years. The reason affords a strik
ing Illustration of the superstltloua na
ture of west country folk. When tbla
particular business was started, the
owner for some reason or other did not
have his name Inscribed on the prem
ises. Whether this fact had anything
to do with the success of the business
or not It would be difficult to say.
Trade, however, was brisk, and the
butcher duly retired, leaving the name
less shop to his son. The business has
been handed down from father to son
for more than 120 years, but none of
those into whose occupation It has
come would have his name put up ou
any consideration, fearing—ns, In fact,
the present owner does today—that
such a procedure might break the spell
of good fortune with which the busi
ness has been favored.—London Stand
ard.
Those Who Tie Knots'.
Can any one tell why the landlubber
In tying a cord around a package or
anything else will always make a gran
ny knot instead of a square not? We
ail do it in spite of thunder. To tie a
reef knot or sailor's knpt requires
thought and experience. Yet It Is as
easy as a granny knot. Never believe
for a moment that sailors are the only
people In tho world who can tie knots.
Go to an operating theater In some big
hospital anil tnke note of the skill
with which surgeons and even nurses
employ bandages and ligatures. Learn
from them bow to tie the clove bitch,
the combined surgeon's and reef knot,
tho Staffordshire knot, tho common
surgeon's knot, the friction knot, Hen
sen's knot, Talt's knot, etc.—New York
Press.
Carefully Selected.
One of the most remarkable features
of life iu New South Wales Is the
transformation of criminals Into hard
working citizens. Of the 80,000 set
tlers there In 1821, 20,000 were or had
been convicts. It Is said that on board
an American liner a boastful Austra
lian assorted loudly and over and over
again that the men who settled Aus
tralia were a remarkably sensible lot."
"Yes," said an American quietly, "I
have always understood that they were
sent out by the very best Judges."
Preparing For Dinner.
One of the residents of the town of
Idvor was noted for bis parsimony.
Lot us call him Mr. Wiggles. There
was an old major In Idvor who said to
his valet one evening, "Go and tell the
cook to get me ready a chop and a
poached egar." "Pardon me, major,"
said the valet, "but have you forgotten
that you are dining with Mr. Wiggles
tonight V" The major frowned. "Yes,"
lie said, I had forgotten It. Tell the
cook to make It two chops and two
poached eggs."
Antony and Cleopatra.
Cleopatra was riding In her barge.
"It is a beautiful view from here," she
reiffarked In Egyptian words to that
effect.
"Yes," responded Antony. "I took
care to get you a Nile seat."
Whereat the rowers did laugh lustily.
Ckbbage Leave*.
"D» you think cabbage la uuwhole
some?" asked a dyspeptic.
"It depends somewhat," answered
the food expert, "on better you eat
It or try to smoke It."—Waabtofton
