HIGH SCHOOL DRAMATICS.
A Midsummer Nights Dream.

| Thoughts of midsummer at least, if not
dog day heat, were suggested by the wonder
fully warm and balmy atmosphere last even
ing. 1t was just such night as never fails
| to tempt people from their homes when
there is any kind of attraction to strengthen
| that temptation. But had the weather been
ever SO stormy, blustry and forbidding there is
| no doubt that the audience at high
school hall would have been none the
| smaller, and larger it could not have been,
| for the hall was filled in every part. The
| young people, therefore, had every reason to
be satisfied with the size of the house, and
they ought to have been equally satisfied with
| its spirit, for more indulgent audience,
and one more willing to be pleased, could
hardly be brought together; and that the
audience was pleased in right good earnest
was soon manifest from the real hearty ap
plause bestowed upon every effort
of the entertainers The per-
Torrance commenced with an easy over
ture very creditably played by the school or
chestra of ten pieces, Prof. PREM accom-
PIANIST on the piano. The strings were es-
pecially good, each lad playing carefully and
attentively both as to time and purity Of
tone. The curtain rose upon set scene for
farce entitled ''The Sleeping Car" with
the following cast:
Mr.. Sawyer the Californian. james Armstrong
| Willis Campbell. John d. Miller
Mr.. Roberts. .....................Le Leslie Gilbert
CONDUCTOR. ...................... .Alfred Stees
forter. COMMUNICATIONS. Frank wilson
Mrs. Roberts. .............. Miss Sophie Borup
Aunt Mar Observation-Disclosures Miss Lou Fowble
| Each member of the dramatic persona
| quilted himself and heaself to the delight of
the friends and tbs entire satisfaction of the
whole audience, and the applause at the con-
clusion was immense. Frank Wilson, as the
| porter, was deserving of especial mention.
Another careful performance by the orchestra

}Characters in the Interlude.

If especial mention is made of the ladies it
is not because their male colleagues were not
worthy of the like honor, but they looked so
bewitchingly lovely, and were so tastefully
and richly costumed that the fact must be
recorded. Miss Ida Austin delivered her
lines as ''Titania" with unusual accuracy and
well forming with Bottom in the enchant-
ment scene, the gem of the performance.
Miss Gates, Miss Gilbert and Miss Hender-

Mount Sinai.


The fact that there is great deal of
doubt lingering in the minds OF the
most experienced navigators to-day as
to exactly which mountain in this his
torical peak where ''the Lord descend
ed in fire, and the smoke thereof as
cended as the smokerof furnace, and
the whole mount quaked greatly"
where Moses twice communed with
God for forty days and forty nights;
where the ten commandments were
Numbered forth. and all the details of
the old Jewish code; near which the
slow, half-heartcd multitude of Israel
ties persuaded Aaron to make for them
golden calf, whereat Moses was so
discouraged that he threw down the
tablets Of stone. and thus "broke all
the commandments at once;n where
the institution of the Sabbath was con-
firmed; where the Almighty permitted
Moses to see measure of His glory;
and in the wilderness about which the
children of Israel wandered so many
years.
By studying the ships chart 1 find
that it is not simple matter to get q
glimpse of Sinai, owing to the inter-
vention of other and taller peaks.
Sinai itself is z, $50 feet high, while
Mount St. Catherine, two miles to the
eastward. is over $500 feet, and an
other mountain toward the north is
about 1850 feet high. Thus the wealth
er must be most suspicious, and the
position of the vessel at exactly q GER
tain point in order to make the view
possible. Indeed. the Suez chart says:
None of the Sea of Suez, except q
very small portion about Hummum
bluff, can be seen from Mount Sinai. !"
The converse inference is obvious. In
view of the number of well-meaning
travellers who have made this voyage
in the past, and calmly told their
friends afterward show Sinai looks, T"
l am very sorry to have to make such
disheartening revelations. But there
is this comfort. the others who have
''gone before" have the satisfaction
along with myself of seeing where ST.
mai is and viewing the surrounding
peaks. The trip to Sinai may be made
over desolate mountains BY camels.
There is Greek monastery about 8, 900
feet from the summit, where travellers
are entertained with great hospitality.
From the dreary nature of the country
IS seen from the ship, l would not ad-
wise aRy one 10 make the trip. Even
the few date palms cultivated by the
monks are watered with bitter, brack-
ish water.-C0r. NeU- Orleans Times
