Stage Words.

The Singular Voeabnlary that is In Use
 Behind the Scenes in the Theatre
 The stage has language of it's own, 7 said stage carpenter to a reporter who stood upon the boards of one of the principal met r0politan theaters. Words have meanings with us that are unknown to any other trade or art. couldn't begin to give you com plete list, but I will mention few In my 561e, pertinent. In addition to these the property man has his words, ahz1 SO have the actors, the cossumers, the wig makers, the gasmen and the dramatists.
 rEach of the various pieces of scenery has a distinct name. The back scene, when made in two pieces, rolled on from either side, IS called the flats ; when it is in one. and raised or lowered from above, 1t is called drop The marrow side scenes are wings. Inclined platforms are runs; these are used in noun tain scenes and for the horse in Mazeppa, and similsr purposes. Small painted frames to hide the runs are known Rs masking pieces When 8 room is set witnEsolid walls instead of wings, it is box seene.' Those arched pieces of canvas over your head are 'sky borders' The space over the stage is known as the rigging loft. though in England it is more generally termed g .gridiron ' The gallery running round the stage, whence ali the ropes are worked, is named the tHies.' That continuation of it there where the ar-- tist is at work is called the paint bridge It is made to raise and Iower, and so is his inl- nnense easel, known as a paint frame These holes in the stage gre traps, and the space

The Lady Manager.
From Tinslsy's Magazine. l

lrEOA 4AubA0yb hdSA1luo.J
 Up two flights and down a dark passage 8 little cluster of seven or eight girls is gathered round an open door. We push through them, and find handsomely dressed lady sitting at 8 large writing-table covered with papers. She is listening at the moment to the spokeswoman for the group of girls, who represent that they all want new shoes for the new piece. This matter disposed of, the girls have hardly got from the door before young man en ters with lot of bills in his hand. They are for the manageress to look over and pay. He is followed by little French dressmaker, who carries 8 new satin dress in each hand. Where shall put them ?" she asks. "Put them down here." says the manageress, with smile and sigh. 'It's a shame my private room should be turned into 8 wardrobe, but suppose it can't be helped" It does seem rather hard, when one looks round, the room ought to be pret- ty. It is light and airy. and there are some ferns in the window; it is nicely furnisheds too. But sofa, chairs, even the floor, all are covered with dresses and rolls of material and dozens of boots and shoes. On the writing-table are some boxes of white ties, ready y-made into bows. The manageress laughs as she puts them aside. q have to get these," she says, flor the gentlemen who can't tie their own neckties." We are so busy, and so crowded. just now, she goes on
 
 I can only keep three girls at work in room together. If there are more they always get into misohief-get talking and idling, Then when the work isn't done they want to stay all night and be paid for overtime. I assure you, it's an awful life to manage great the atre like this. Last Christmas, when our pantomime was put on, I was down on the stage, looking after the girls dresses, till the last minute; and when the curtain went up on the transformation scene I fainted away with exhaustion behind the scenes. I'd new CT tainted before in my life. It won't be as bad as that with tkis new piece, hope. But these people that come to work at a theatre are 50 stupid, ona has to look after every single thing, or else, at the last moment, it's not done. At this moment timid- looking, shabby man knocks at the door. He wants an engagement Let us leave him to come to terms with the mnnageress. 1t seems he has been earning 4s. . week at some other theatre and wants to better himself" and get As. Sd. if he can. Alasl the miserable hangers on of 'fhe profession" as actors love to call it, arc very poor indeed The door is invaded by a crowd of dirty small children in charge of the wardrobe keeper. New shoes, or something of the sort, will have to be got for them. The manageress has got her hands full. And here she sits, at her table, attending to all these details eV- cry day, and nearly all day.

underneath is the trap cellar' Some of the traps are made with springs to shoot @ per son up quickly in pantomime or spectacular pieces. They are then called star or yam pire traps Those strips of wood below the flies into which the scenes slide are called grooves and each division of groo ve is a cut The space between each set of grooves is an entrance, These two handsomely painted wings near the proscenium arch, and which usually reRaain on the stage, no matter what the scene, are called stormentors . why Iden't know, except it may be that the audience gets wearied of always seeing them.
 'Observe the narrow grooves in the stage, down which scenes may be made to disap- pear. They are sinks and the boards that cover them are -sliders' To hold up pieces of scenery VIC use these poles with angle irons, called braces. To fasten them to the stage are these corkscrew-like things termed 'screw.eyes.' This is the 'pronpt side,' or side where the prompter stands, and the other is the %. D. or opposite prompt Here is moon box, which moves up and down with the calcium light, representing that luminary. This sheet of iron is termed the thunder drum' Pall that string and you shake up barrel of peas, which makes the sound of rain, and which Is called the rain sbox.' Turn taaf hend3s and this gigantic rattle makes 8 noise like breaking wood. It is crash and is used to make the sound of pursuing BOOTS or TalIln& DulIQlngS. AgalnSt the wall is afcali box where the calls or notices of rehearsals are posted. The piece of canvas painted like water, and which while lying on the stage is shaken from the en frances, is a ssea cloth Those painted strips of muslin are gauge waters; they were used in the cave scene of the Colleen Bawn.'
 ''To put play on is to mount it. To mount it cheaply is to fake 1t. A full set Is a scene occupying all the stage. A 'car- penter's scene' is set in the first grooves to fill time while other scenes are being set. To strike is to move e scene from the stage A stage hand is a grip This wheel covered with foil working behind slats in the scene is ripple barrel.' It gives the effect of moon light on the water. These wings cut in fancy shapes on the edge are 'profled.' This mass of gas burners is bunch light;' it can be moved to any part of the stage. The curtain is called the rag, and the handsome one used between the acts is the act drop My in structions from the author are called a scene plot,' and where I store my scenes is a dock

Visits of the Living to the Dead.

There is a very interesting account of the opening of the tomb of Edward I. in letter from MT. Cough to Tyson, in Vol. VIII , page 612, of Nichols Literary Anecdotes '' It is probably we'll known to most readers, but copy it, in case it should not have been already noticed in these pages; ''The open ing of the tomb of Edward I. and the actual view of the dead conqueror of Scotland, en- shrined in robes of royalty, his crown on his head and two sceptres in his hands, his Visage so well preserved as to exhibit likeness to an able draughtsman, mantle of red paned with white, and at every square 8 jewel of chased work, besprent with pearls and red and blue stones; superb fbula fastening the mantle on the right shoulder, studded with pearls and p joints, headed and screwed in by 8 brilliant sapphire his hands bare and entire (bone with tanned skin, but no nails, holding, the right sceptre surmounted by a cross deure; the left another, longer, sur mounted by three clusters of oak leaves di- E1inishing and terminating by dove. These sceptres were of gilt metal, as also the crown of Aeur-de-lis. The feet were enveloped, but the toes, planta and talus might be felt, dis tinct and heshy, and the whole body of feet inches long. Over the mantle was wrap per or two, one strongly created" Hamp den's grave, in Great Hampden church, was opened by his biographer, Lord Nugent, 'and the body was found in such perfect state that the picture on the staircase of the house was known to be his from the like ness" Climbs "Abbeys, Castles and An cient Halls of England and Wales.'O In 1796 the bodies of Lady Kilsyth (widow of Wis count Dundee, the celebrated Claverhouse, and wife of the last Viscount Kilsyth) and her infant son were exhumed and found in the most extraordinary state of preservationS; They met their death in 1717 in Flanders by the falling in of the roof of house in which they and a number of other Scottish exiles were assembled. Their bodies were embalmed and sent over to Scotland, where they were buried with great F omp at Kilsyth, in the family vault. The minister of Kilsyth thus describes their appearance in 1796: s'The body of Lady Kilsyth was quite entire; every feature and every limb was as full as the day she was lodged in the tomb. The features, nay, the very expression of her countenance, were marked and distinct. The body of her son lay at her knee. His features were as composed as if he were asleep; his color was as fresh and his flesh as plump and full as in the perfect glow of health. Perhaps the most singular phenomenon was that the bodies seemed not to have undergone the smallest decomposition, and they retained their elas- ticity even after being exposed to the open air for many months. Several medical gen. tlemen examined them, and an incision was made into the arm of the infant. The bodies seem to have been preserved in a liquid of the appearance of brandy, and the head in- clined on pillow containing strong scented herbs. Balm sage and mint were easily distin- guished."

The healing properties of the iHoangnan, as the plant is called in the Anamite language, were, until short time ago, known only to sim gle native family, which finally, having be- come converted to Christianity, communioa- ted the secret to the French.
