IrresistiblY Lndicrons,

One of those things happened at the
National Theatre the other night which
most papers are too digni6ed to mention,
but which everybody likes to talk about.
1t was during the last act of Mother
and Son." and Janauschek, with one
other person, was holding the stage. 1t
was situation of some suspense, and
the house was perfectly still. There
was a pause, too, in the dialogue, so
that on the stage also there happened to
be complete stiffness.
Just at that moment a mani in the par
quette blew his nose. 1t was not yio-
lent, savage blast, but long, sonorous,
luxurious blow, such as the horns that
marched around Jericho might have
given on the seventh round, in the Sc
rene confidence that the walls would
come down promptly. The effect was
irresistibly ludicrous. The audience,
in their respect for the actors and their
interest in the play, struggled bravely
to preserve good demeanor, but it was
no use. A wave of half-suppressed
laughter ran over the house, and many
who succeeded in keeping silence fairly
shook.
On the stage the situation was still
worse. Even Janauschek's 8 tragic grav-
ity was disturbed. Her face twitched
again and again in the effort to control
herself, and she was glad to use the
handkerchief she had in her hand to
cover her confusion. For moment it
looked as if an emotional scene would
be dissolved in broad laugh, but the
actors struggled on with the dialogue,
and, after a few minutes, the play re-
sumed its hold on the audience. For
the man, or rather the nose. it was a
successful debut. Washington Cores

St, George And The Lizard!

In many old natural histories,
pecially those of Aldrovandus and
Gesner,-strange pictures are shown of
dragons, with terrible heads, breath
like steam, and the feet and legs of Il
bird, and serpent-like skins. In the
days of chivalry these dragons were
very common, if we may believe the
tales of the time, and every knight or
gentleman with any pretensions to valor
seems to have followed in the footsteps
of St. George, according to the roman
GERS. But, in these days, the world has
been so well travelled over that the
dragons have been finally sifted down
to one or two beautiful little creatures
that live in India and the islands of tho
Indian Archipelago. Save for their
harmless aspect, they have very much
the appearance of the dragons of the
olden time, and we suspect they were
the originals of the tales that were GER
tainly believed by the naturaEhistory
writer's of past centuries. The dragons
are small lizards that live among tho
trees, and though they have no wings,
they move about through the air in
graceful curves, with almost the free
dom of birds. When they are upon a
branch, you would hardly notice any
thing peculiar about them; but let an
insect pass by that they are particularly
fond of, and, with q rush, several OF
them fly into the air. Between their
legs is curious membrane, encircling
them like a parachute, banded and
crossed with gorgeous tints of red and
yellow, which glisten in the sun like
molten gold. They seem to float in
the air a second while swapping at the
object of their pursuit; then they sink
gracefully, alighting upon the trees OF
branches. The seeming wings are
membranes-reallya an expansion of the
skin of the flank, held in place by slen-
der, bony processes connected with the
false ribs, which shut up, as it We're,
when the dragon" is resting, the wings
appearing to be folded at the sides.
They live upon insects, and dart aftel
them from tree to tree with amazing
rapidity, their long tails lashing the air
like knives.
According to the naturalist BrOntius,
the common fying-lizard initiates
curious yellow goitre, or membrane,
when it flies, thus rendering it lighter,
and reminding us again of the birds,
with their hollow bones. Thus assisted,
they cross intervals of space as much rs
seven hundred feet in length faster than
! the eye can follow them. In darting
across small streams, sometimes they
fall short and come down in the water,
when, of course, they are obliged to
swim the remainder of the distance.
Sometimes they are found in large
streams, so it is not improbable that
they go in swimming for the pleasure
of it.-C. f. Holder, in st. Nicholas.

He Wanted A Puff.

''Say, mister, gi's puff" demanded
q ragged urchin, as he stood. scratching
his head and eying the city editor.

'Look here!" exclaimed the city edit
or. .'Do you know what the Passion
Play is?''
.'Well, you bet! Me and Dolan and
Hogan is Jews, and Daily comes in with

and he allows that the show can t 60 on.
Then Daily says he'll show or he'll bust
the business, and then we cruelty him.
Oh, we're onto the passion racket! Gi's

..Have you played it yet?' inquired
the city editor.
"Of course! we bin playin' it for

under the tent, and we cruelty 'em
right along! just now we are short, O.
Gentiles, on account O. lickin' most o
them until they can't get around any

''How do you do your crucifyingp"
asked the mystifed city editor.
''Slug 'emn' replied the boot black.
'When we see head comm under we

"What do you want me to do?'
"Gi's puff! Say as how we re work.

canvas is welcome to free seat if he

"All right" assented the city editor.

Vertical travel, by means of passen-
ger elevators, is rapidly increasing
throughout the United States, The first
one went into operation less than
twenty-five years ago, andnow between
New York alone having $4,000. 1t is
estimated that for every new mile OF
railway which is constructed, passen-
ger elevator is built. The travel on
them is enormous. The eight elevators
in the Equitable building in New York
carry up and down daily average OF
twenty thousand people, while several
thousand per diem is not an unusual
number for large stores and hotels in
our large cities.

What Love is Mixed With in Boston.

They were Boston couple who had
been married but a few weeks, and had
just gone to housekeeping. AS the
husband stood at the area door one
morning, with the market basket in his

his neck and said:
'Do you indeed love me so very, very
much, Bradford?"

Near Sunset.

Sometimes, from fields grown sadly strange
Since robins fed. by woodland path,
Straight up the valley-head | range
To reap the days poor aftermath,
The spiders spin across my face;
The startled partridge, fleeing, makes
A sudden silence in the place
The rasping cricket scarcely breaks.

The pa:il grows light again, and lOl
The pale new moon, the crimson sky,
The village on the plain below!
And weary huskers, binding long
On dusky slopes, still bind by night,
While, like the murmur of song,
Their talk is blown across the height.
