THE STAGE A HUNDRED YEARS AGO.
How Actors Dressed in the 0lden Times
Stage Scenery and Effects.

Garrick played Macbeth In O scarlet coat
and powdered wig; John KembIe performed
Othello Ia full suit OF British scarlet regl-
mentals, and even when he had gone so far as
to dress Macbeth rs a Highlander Of 1745,
wore In his bonnet a tremendous hearse-plume,
until Scott plucked 1t out, and placed an
eagles feather there in It's stead. The CO.'S
tunes Of the ladies were almost more absurd.
Whether they appeared as Romans, Greeks or
females of the Middle Ages, they dressed the
same--in the huge hoop, and powdered hair
raised high upon the head, heavy brocaded
robes that required two pages to hold up,
without whose assistance they could scarcely
have moved, and servants were dressed quite
as magniticently as their mstresses.
In scenery there was no attemp at "sets;"
a drop and a pair OF FLATS" dusty and dim
with age, were all the scenic accessories; and
two or three hoops Of tallow candles, sus-
pended above the stage, were all that repre-
santed the blaze OF gas and lime-light to
which we are accustomed. The candIe-snuffer
was theatrical post OF some responsibility
In those days. Garrlck was the first who
used concealed lights. The uncouth appear
ance Of the stage was rendered still worse on
crowded nights by ranges OF seats raised for
spectators OF each SIDE The most ridiculous
contretemps frequently resulted from this in
congruity. Romeo: sometimes, when he bore
out the body OF Juliet from the solitary tomb
OF the Capulets, had to almost force his Way
through throng Of beaus, and Macbeth and
his lady plotted for the murder of Duncan
amidst throng Of people.

Cutting Glass with Scissors.
TTlluatratad Woodworbarl

Many persons may not be aware that glass
can be- cut under water with great ease, to al
most any shape. by simply using pair of
shears or strong scissors. In order to insure
success two points must be attended to-first
and most important, the glass must be kept
quite level In the water While the scissors are
applied; and secondly, to avoid risk. it Is bet
ter to begin the cutting by taking of small
pieces at the corners and along the edges. and
so reduce the shape gradually to that re-
CURED, as L any attempt Is made to cut the
glass all at once to the shape, as we should
cut a piece Of cardboard, 1t will most likely
break where It is not wanted. Some kinds Of
glass cut much better than others, the softer
glasses being the best for this purpose The
scissors need not be at all sharp, as their
action does not appear to depend on the state
OF the edge presented to the glass When the
operation goes on well the glass breaks away
from the scissors In small pieces In a straight
line with the blades. This method of cutting
glass has often been Of service when dia-
mond has not been at hand, for cutting ovals
and segments, and though the edges are not
so smooth as might be desired for some pur-
poses, yet it will answer In great many
cases The two hints given above, If strictly
followed, will always insure success.

A LITTLE BOAT.
a Boat That Can Be Put In a Coat
Pocket and Yet Will Sustain
twenty-five Persons.
ICape MAY Wave !.

ICape May Waye.1
We noticed yesterday the launching OF a
novel surfboat during the bathing hour, but
did not reach the party In time to obtain any
particulars as to the name of the patent, the
patentee, or the special qualities claimed for
it. 1t was evidently rubber, being carried
down to the surf. We are told, In a roll under
q mans arm, and was Inflated previous to
launching. It was propelled by single
boatman by means OF q double ended paddle,
similar to that used with the Merriman suit.
The boat went skimming about over the bill
lows at a rapid rate. The apparent advan-
tages would seem to be the dispatch with
which It could be brought into service and
launched h,un by one man alone and It's non,Ia-
boat is Inflated by means of a bellows. Sew
eral persons can sit inside, while some TWEEN
ty-fve can be sustained In the water by cling
ing to her sides. When not in use, the boat
Can be folded up and packed In a trunk.
