Jealousy AhOat.

On the boat going up the river the
other day was couple of whom every
body soon took notice. 1t was plain
enough that they had had row, and
that the wife was mad as wet hen.
When she had taken seat the hus-
band walked up and down and glow
cred mt everybody and seemed to MUIR
muir threats of vengeance. On the
deck. sitting by himself, was red
shirted, big-iisted giant of a chap
about 40 years of age. Presently the
woman gathered up her parcels and
walked over and shook his hand and
sat down beside him and. began a
cheerful chat, explaining, however:
"My husband is terribly jealous of
me, and / want to bother him."
"All right, marm," replied old Her
cules. ''Just chatter and chin till yer
hearts content, and I'll larf and larf
and slap my leg where the applause
should come in. "
The bold action puzzled the husband
for few minutes, but presently he
walked up to the PAIR and said TO the
man:
"Are you an old acquaintance of
hers?"

to protect her. Stranger. you skip"
.'Sirr'
(which is to say that you will skip
or swim!'
William reached out, but the bus-
band reiterated and sat down at safe
distance. and for two long hours he
must have suffered torture. The wife
chatted, William slapped his leg and
the passengers winked; and as the
couple landed ut one of the club
houses the man in the red shirt landed
the lady ashore like a cavalier and
called out:

Electricity IN the Menagerie.

Nearly every day some new use Is
found for electricity, and one of the
most recent applications OF this power
is in the interests of the professional
tanners of wild animals, says an ex-
change. The inventor is a tanner
himself, and his instrument Is an APP
paratus shaped like n stick and highly
charged with electricity. When the
animals become unruly he gives them
a shock from this battery, and the
effects are said to be instantaneous.
On experiment, three of his lions
Immediately showed signs of the great
est terror. They were seized with
trembling and growlcd fitfully. The
tiger was more quickly subdued, be-
came stupefed and crouched In a COR
ner of the cage. Bruin was more re-
fractory to the electricity, which
seemed scarcely to affect him. He
would growl and show his teeth. but
was subdued after repeated dis.
charges.
The most astonishing effects. how
ever, were perceptlble in the boa con-
strictor. On receiving this discharge
the specimen from Cayenne, nearly
twenty feet in length, became at once
paralyzed and remained motionless
for six hours afterward. When he re-
covered he showed signs Of helpless
ness for three whole days. Finally the
elephant on being electrified by touch
of the stick upon the tip of his trunk,
set up a series of wild cries, and be-
came SO frantic that the tanner feared
be would break his heavy iron chains.

The Art of Acting.

To do and not to dream, is the main
spring of success in life. The actors
art is to act, and the true acting of
of any character is one of the most
difficult accomplishments. l challenge
the acute student to ponder over Ham
let's remuneration OF Ophelia-one of
the most complex scenes in all the
drama and say that he has learned
more from his meditations than he
could be taught by players whose in
teligence is equal to his own. To
present the man thinking aloud is the
most difficult achievement of our art.
Here the actor who has no real grip of
the character, but simply recites the
speeches with a certain grace and in
telligence, will be untrue. The more
intent he is upon the words, and the
less on the ideas that dictated them, the
more likely he is to lay himself open
to the charge of mechanical interpreta-
ton. IL is perfectly possible to ex-
press to an audience all the involutions
of thought, the speculation, doubt,
wavering, which reveal the meditative
but irresolute mind. AS the varying
shades of fancy pass and repass the
mirror of the face. they may yield
more material to the studious playgoer
than he is likely to get by diligent
porting over the text. In short, as we
understand the people around us much
better by personal intercourse than by
all the revelations of written words,
for words. as Tennyson says. "half re-
veal and half conceal the soul Within"
so the drama has, on the whole, in
6nitely more suggestion when it is
well acted than when it is Interpreted
by the unaided judgement. of the
student. "-Henrg IrUiiig ia The Eng
