THE grand jury now in session In New
York has had under consideration the mat
ter of overcrowding theatres, and has report
ed that it finds the custom of cling tickets
of admission to more people than the build
ing can hold without danger to the audience
in case of panic to be general one. The
recommendation is therefore made that the
seating capacity of all theatres be ascer-
tanned by some competent official, and that
the sale of tickets should be limited to the
actual seating capacity of the house. There
being no law in New York regarding this
matter, the attention of the Legislature is
called to it, and recommendation made
that immediate action be taken.

LABoUcHERE is in favor of Americana
ing England. In his paper, Truth. he says:
81 should divide the United Kingdom iuto
80 districts. Each district would have a To-
cal assembly, with the same powers, in re-
gard to local matters that are enjoyed by the
States of the American Union. should
then proceed further to divide the kingdom
into 800 electoral districts. Having relieved
the House of Lords and House of Commons
of their functions, / should create an impe-
rial arliament, consisting of two represen-
tatives elected by each local assembly, and
one representative from each electoral dis
trict. They would all sit and vote together"

THE stunning defeat inflicted upon Bis
marck's pet scheme for the establishment
of an Economical Council for the German
Empire seems to argue that while the Ger
man Conservatives are willing enough for
party purposes to prevent the Liberals get
ting possession of the government, they are
determined not to approve of any of Bis
marck's Socialist measures. So it appears
that although Bismarck is absolute and ire
sponsible, he is not all-powerful. If the
German Liberals be patient, firm, moderate,
prudent and persevering, they are sure to
triumph in the end.

And the windy air VITA blush and bl ON.

The morning will gather its colors anew,
As sweet rs a girl promise,

To weave fresh violets out of the dew
As bright rs the ones stolen from US.
As lie at ease in my last repose,
All the beauty about me woven.

And the germ when It's husk Is cloven.
And the rootets find their way underground
Through the tolls of the seasons malice,
Till know how the coil of sense is wound
To the far-on stars in the depths profound,
Where Earth seems n golden palace.
But you will not know OF the watch keep

OF the wind while gently lie asleep
Under the broad-leafed catalpas.

ILLUSIONS OF THE STAGE.
How Mature L. ImItated-Th- Machines for
Producing the Sounds OF Thunder. Wind
and Rain Moonlight ON the Waterfall
Of u burning H0use.


Of u burning House.
MANY of the peculiar effects pro-
duced upon the stage, initiating moon
light, sunlight, thunder. wind, rain and
other natural phenomena, are a puzzle
to those outside of the business. How
such realistic representations of these
things as are often witnessed upon the
stage can be made is question that
often enters the mind of the spectator,
and is seldom answered in satisfactory
manner. 1t is always the ambition of
scene painters and stage carpenters to
devise improved methods of initiating
these things. and hence the stage NAV
be said to try 20 hold the mirror up to
nature in material. as well as a moral
sense. Years of experience have tended
to bring these limitations to high state
of excellence; but the limits do not yet
seem to be reached, and new contriv-
ances are continually appearing. The
electric light is not yet used, but as its
pale blush tint would be serviceable in
particular effects, stage machinists are
now celebrating how it can best be en-
ployed. All of the operations men,
toned, together with some which will
be described, are classed under the
general term, ''stage effects" Authors,
in writing plays, are always on the look
out for an opportunity to produce
telling effect. The amount of work be-
slowed upon their production in thea
ter is simply astonishing to those unac-
quainted with that mysterious realm
known as '.behind the scenes"
Thunder is common stage effect,
and is used with great advantage in
many plays. In former DAYS it was
produced by shaking large piece of
sheet iron hung Immediately above the
prompter's desk. This continuance
produced a good imitation of sharp,
rafting thunder, but failed to give the
dull roar which is always heard in
storms. A continuance for this pur-
pose was soon invented. A heavy box
frame is made, and over it is tightly
drawn calf skin. Upon this the
prompter operates with stick. one end
of which is padded and covered with
chamois skin. A fash of lightning,
produced with magnesium, and a sharp
crack of the sheet iron. followed by a
long decreasing roll upon the "thun-
der drum" produces an effect which is
startlingly realistic. Travelling cOmpa-
MES are compelled to be satisfied with
the sheet iron alone; and the tragedian
who enters theater provided with a
complete thunder apparatus always is
happy to think that his battle with the
elements in king Lear will be worth
fighting.
The rain machine in large theaters
is fixture placed high up in the
''flies." A cylinder is made of ''half
inch' wood. 1t is usually five feet in
circumference, and four feet in length.
Upon the inside are placed rows of
small wooden teeth. A lot of dried
peas is placed in the cylinder, rope
belt is run around one end of it and
down to the prompter's desk. and it is
ready for a drenching shower. BY
turning the cylinder, the peas roll down
between the teeth, and tie noise pro-
duced by them makes good imitation

PIES RUNNING OvER.-A correspond
ent of the Country Gentleman says;
Ever since pies were invented. amateur
cooks (and sometimes experienced
ones) have been troubled BY pies boil
ing over in the oven. At last l have
learned from an excellent cook way
OF avoiding that trouble. After the
pies are filled and the upper crust Is
rolled out. set the pie on the crust and
cut it out around just a little larger than
the bottom of she pie-tin. then spread Il
over the top and you win find that 1t
barely covers the filing and just reach
es the under crust without tapping any
upon it. DO not pinch it down. but
leave the edge open. thus giving vent
for the steam. and although it NAV boil
furiously it never will overflow. andy
avoid the thick edge of double crustthas
is so often left upon the pie plates.

GIBRALTAR FOR SALE.
Reported Desire or Gladstone to Dispose Of the
Famous Fortress

A World cablegram from London says:
For some time past 1t has been whispered al
the clubs that the Government intends to sell
Gibraltar IN Spain, and the story seems to
have some foundation. 1t IL said that the
subject has been discussed in the Cabinet
and that the Premiers proposal met with mo
very decided opposition from bis colleagues.
of course it will be easy for Gladstone to
convince the Radicals that the interests OF
peace, public morality, and eternal justice
demand the sale, but there will be loud
outcry, not only from the old Jingoes of the
Army and Navy Club, who spend the day In
upbraiding their equity limbs and cursing
Radicalism, but from all the moderate Lib
erals. To withdraw from Gibraltar would
be to take the first step in Lord Sherbrooke's
and. Mr.. Howe's programme for The abandon-
ment of India, aud would be notice to all
the world that England was about to retire
from the imperial business. The Spaniards
know their man and will offer low price at
first, but bidding will advance and the Pre-
mier will probably be easily satisfied. He
auctioned off the guns of the citadel of Que
bee without conjunction, and will doubtless
argue that as Wolfe shed more lustre on the
British arms than Sir George Rookie, who
siezed the rock In the name of Queen Anne,
or Lord Heathfield, its gallant defender in
later years, it is only false pride that Induces
England to hold the key of the Mediterra-
mean after having disman,led the gateway OF
the st. Lawrence.

Flowers from Cuttings.



As 1t is now a good time TO propagate
flowers for winter blooming from cuttings,
a few words about the proper methods OF do
ing it would probably be suggestive TO some
OF the home readers. 1t is like standing al
egg on its end--very easily done when you
know how. Formerly had to buy fresh
supply of plants from the florist every spring,
because did not know how easily plants
may be increased from cuttings, but now l
grow my own and have an abundant supply
for myself and some to give my friends.
Cuttings Of carnations, coleus, fuchsias, &C.
raniums, and many other plants may be
grown In the following manner: Fill a shall
low box with leaf-mold and sand, mixed to-
gethcr; then with a sharp knife cut from the
old plants only three or four inches of the
top of this years growth, and place the cut
end In the soil to the depth of an inch. With
four fingers press the soil closely around it,
and for the first three days water freely
keeping in a cool, dark place. Afterward,
bring IL into the light lbut not In the direct
sunshine) and use water sparingly. In a
month bring into the sunlight and treat as
growing plants. Geranium cuttings Should
be kept 70 themselves, as they require less
water than others. IwouDd not advise any
one TO try the finer varieties of scented &C.
raniums, unless she has plenty TO waste. II
you desire new varieties, there are florists
who sell cuttings by the dozen at very
low rates
