Acting I'm the Open Air.

Actors who have never tried to make
themselves heard throughout a three
hours performance in the open air have
no idea of the physical effort it involves.
In an ordinary theatre, when there is
good house, it is comparatively easy to
get the right pitch and keep it, but the
exact reverse is the case when all the
seats in an al fresco resort are occupied,
the difficulty being thus increased instead
Of diminished. If those in the rear are
TO be enlightened as to what is going on
on the stage and not regaled by mere
dumb show. those in front are apt to be
persuaded into the idea that the perform
ers are shouting. This is double and
trebly true when singing or trying to
sing. The only compensating advantage
Is the absence Of suifocating heat, which
subjects the performer to an impromptu
Turkish bath when condemned TO dis
play his talents--if he's got any-on an
indoor stage at midsummer.-Globe

The County Republican Committees Of the sew

tions in their respective counties and elect dele.
gates and alternate delegates from each OF said
counties to the Territorial Convention above
designated.
Ills desired that sufficient notice Of such con-

Committee respectfully recommends that the said
County Conventions be held early in September,
but such date should be fixed therefore rs, after
giving due notice TO the Republicans Of the coun.

II is presumed that the custom heretofore pre-
vailing Ia the several counties OF the territory
whereby delegates TO the Territorial convention
are elected from the respective counties by the
conventions which assemble TO nominate county
officers will prevail during the present year.
To the end that all counties in the territory re-
mote from OF near TO the place Of holding the Ter

represented therein fairly, and to prevent any ex
traneous interference with the deliberate desires
Of the Republicans Of each county, the following
rules have been prescribed by former conventions
for the government Of the Republican Territorial
Conventions in the territory OF Montana:
1.-Delegates and alternate delegates shall be
elected in the future to Territorial Conventions,
and in the event of the failure OF a delegate to at
tend the alternate delegate shall cast the vote Of
the delegate whose alternate he is.

q majority OF the delegation from that county
shall cast the vote Of the absentee.

MOVEMENTS OF THE EARTH.
The Various Disturbances to Which the
Land Is subj Marks.

The Various Disturbances to which the
Land Is ssubjeot-shore-sIarks.
We are accustomed to think of the
land of the earth as something solid and
fixed. and, as testimonial of this inn
preston, the Latin phrase terra tirma
land or solid ground, has been natural.
lied in the languages of nearly all civil
lized peoples. On the other hand, we
speak of water as unstable. But the
geological history of the earth and the
more careful observations of modern
times have taught us that these ideas do
not correctly represent the qualities Of
the land-masses and water masses of the
globe as compared with one another.
The ancient shore-marks on the con-
tinents and the phenomena of elevation
and subsidence that have been observed
in historic times, confirming their evil
dence, show that the land and the ocean
are continually changing their level as
to one another; and it has further been
made evident, by experiment, as well as
by priori reasoning, that it is not the
ocean that changes, but the land which
undergoes alternate movements of eleva.
ton and depression.
An earthquake-shock is a phenome-
non well adapted to destroy the faith Of
any person who feels one in the fixed
ness Of the earth; and such, by the evil
dence is the effect for the time ON all
who experience these shocks. Even the
light pulsations which sometimes pass
over parts of the United States occasion
panic and excite momentary impress
sion that everything is falling over OF
sinking away; while the more violent
shocks that are felt in earthquake-in.
Tested countries produce indescribable
terror; and such catastrophes as those
historical earthquakes Of Lisbon and
Caracas, and the more recent ones Of
Ischia and the straits of Sunda amount
to demonstration that the reason for
such terrors is real, and that the cont.
nents also can not escape the general Law
of change and perishability.
th-movements-the name by which
these phenomena may be most conveni,
emily described-are various, and com
prise, SO far as they are now considered,
earthquakes, or sudden violent move
ments of the ground; earth-tremors, or
minute movements which usually escape
attention by the smallness of their ampli-
tude; earth pulsations, or movements
which are overlooked on account of the
length of their period; and earth oscilla-
tons or movements Of long period and
large amplitude-like the shifting Of
levels of land d-masses-which attract at
tention from their geological importance.
Some of these movements only recently
begun to attract attention. They are all
intimately associated in their occurrence
and their origin.-Popular Science

The Hair of the Camel.

The hair of the camel is largely used
all over the world. The under side of
the neck, the upper part of the legs and
the hump of the animal are covered with
an abundance of woody hair, exceeding
Sleeps wool in length, and varying in
color and quality, according to the
species and the climate under which it
lives. The hair varies in quality from a
fineness equal to that of silk to con-
siderable degree of coarseness. In
quantity it commonly amounts to about
ten pounds annually. In the spring the
animals cast their hair, which is called
down, and is little inferior in fineness to
that afforded by some breeds of shawl
goats, while it possesses the advantage
of being much longer and more easily
separated. In the young animal it is
fine and smooth, but with age it becomes
curly and crisp.
The animals are shorn every spring
after the second year, and the hair is
cleaned and assorted for home use, or
export in the raw state. The Arabs,
and other eastern nations, spin it and
weave it into kind of semi-waterproof
cloth for wrapping merchandise, and
into tent coverings, shawls and carpets.
In Persia very fine stockings are made
from it, the white being most valued,
and both in Persia and Tartary a most
durable, warm, soft and light cloth is
made, patterns being produced by select
ing the naturally colored hair. An
enormous trade is done in artists pencils
made from camers hair.-Cor. Brooklyn

Not So Great a Sea After All.

The recent French irveys have shown
that the magnitude oil the Algerian sea
project las been greatly exaggerated.
No large part Of northern Africa can be
flooded, the desert Of Sahara proving to
have an average height of 1,100 feet,
and the only area below the sea level be-
ing comprised in two "Chotts" COM
mencing about 100 miles due west of the
gulf of Gabes and covering only about
3,l0O square miles-less than half the
urea Of Lake Ontario. The flooding of
the depressed region would give lake
averaging seventy-eight feet in depth.
The creation of new sea of a such size
could hardly produce the great effects
upon the worlds climates and upon the
depth of the ocean which have been
foreseen in the speculations of some
scientific writers.-Arkansaw Traveller.

An Ola Charm Against Witchcraft

An old Charm AZ" INST Witchcraft.
While Jefferson G"imley, a carpenter,

Of house near Schwenksville, he found
piece of pine wood six and one-half
inches long, whitfield roughly into the
form of a cylinder. Six holes were bored
into the wood, three going entirely
Trough, but having different diameters.
In the largest hole stuck pin, cut from
the same kind of wood. This instru-
ment, it is explained, was used to pre-
vent certain supposed wizards from
carrying on their mysterious arts. The
pin was placed in he different sized
1oles to impose upon the wizard differ
ant degrees of torture, and when placed
in the largest hole it would infallibly
kill. 1t was found sticking in the hole
when the affair was discovered. A
wooden pin was also driven into the door

pin was a lot of horse hair and piece of
paper covered with cabalistic marks.

He Couldn't Call it a Miracle.

Col Michael Boland. of Kentucky,
recently related to reporter in New
York story which illustrates the ready
Irish tongue. He was with the advance
guard of Sheridan in the valley of the
Shenandoah. The soldiers in his COM
mand became engaged in u close-quar-
ter fight in the woods. They ran out
of ammunition, and he went back and
brought them new supplies. As he was
dealing it out the bullets were fving un-
comfortably around him. One ball
struck a man named Kelly, native of
the Green isle, just as the colonel was
handing him some cartridges He was
knocked senseless, and Boland thought
he was dead. But there was something
about his appearance that made Boland
run his hand down where the bullet
had struck The touch showed that
there was no blood flowing. and the
colonel pursued the investigation furth-
er. The noise made BY the striking bull
let was as if it had hit button. Inside
the mans breast pocket he found a set
of three-card-monte cards. They had
the bullet imbedded in them. Kelly be-
gan to come to and was soon able to sit
up. The colonel knew him for an old
sport He handed the man the cards
and showed him the bullet. remarking:
The cards have saved your life. y
The Irishman looked dazedly at the
bullet for moment, and then, as his
mind became clearer. he replied in
great excitement:
Heaven help me, if it had been a
prayer-book it would have been a
miracle. N T. Tribune.

Country Girls, Think Twice.

Before making the plunge into city
life. country girls should ask themselves
what is really to be gained by it. Per-
haps in their quiet rural homes some
stray advertisement has reached them,
promising to young women high sala-
ries for light work. Hundreds of adver-
tisements are framed for the very pur-
pose of deceiving the unwary. They ac-
eomplish their purpose, however, and
large numbers of young girls rush up
to the city. dazzled BY the generous
profusion of promises. A girl from the
farm answers one of these advertise
ments. Life may have been slow at
home, but there was always good food
and in plenty, and there was some one
to care for in the old farm house. When
she goes to the big city she finds that

The Empress Elizabeth.

When Francis Joseph was a young
Prince, he went to Bavaria to visit the
Duke Maximilian Joseph. The Duke
had four handsome daughters. The
Prince thought that he might marry the
oldest daughter. He reached the shore
of beautiful lake in Bavaria. He did
not know how to cross the lake. Pretty
soon he saw a small boat on the lake
He saw beautiful girl rowing on the
lake in the boat He called to the girl,
"My good girl, viii you row me across
the lake? | want to see the Duke; if
you are not strong enough to row me |
can row myself, if you will give me the
oars"
The young girl rowed to the shore,
and stood up in the boat, and said, 81
can row you across the lake. / know
where the Duke is, and will lead you to
the CASTLE" The Prince got in and sat
down in the boat. She began to row
across the lake. The Prince looked at
her, He thought she was very pretty
girl, and thought she did not look lie
a peasant, but he believed she was one.
After awhile they reached the oppos-
ite shore. She led him to high gate,
she rang the great bell, and dropped
a courtesy. She ran away. Pretty soon
a servant opened the gate. The Prince
entered the Dukes castle. The Duke
welcomed him and introduced him 70
three of his daughters. They went to
dinner; they were waiting for dessert.
A tall elderly lady entered the room
with young girl.
The Prince saw the young girl with
white dress, and long pretty hair falling
to her knees. The Prince knew she was
the same peasant girl Who rowed him
across the lake. The Duke introduced
him to his youngest daughter. The
Prince bowed to her and smiled. The
youngest daughter blushed. The Prince
explained to the Duke about her. He
had been rowed across the lake by the
young girl. and he believed she was a
peasant. The Duke laughed very hearth
ly.
The prince stayed for several weeks.
He did not ask the oldest daughter to
marry him, but he asked the youngest
daughter. She consented. They were
married After awhile Francis Joseph
became Emperor and she became En-
press. Her name is Elizabeth. She is
still fond of out door sports: she is fond
of rowing and hunting, and she is the
best horse woman in all Europe. Her
beautiful hair is still long and thick.
The people love her because she is kind
and gracious to them.
