wooden DIediocrity.''

A successful theatre manager is
quoted as saying that, in casting a play,
he assumes there is no such thing as act
ing. He knows the scarcity of real
mimetic talent. Not one actor or
actress in hundred is capable of vary
ing his or her work to any degree
consequently, when l set out to pro
duce play, he says, 81 don't 90 hunt
ing for people who possess the requisite
versatility for the purpose, but simply
hire those who can't help moving,
speaking and looking in the desired
manner. There is no risk in that pol
icy. l know to dead certainty how
each part will be played, and can count
confidently on the effects that will be
produced, Genius is Enthusiastically,
wooden mediocrity is thoroughly trust
worthy. That's why travelling combina-
tons, gotten up for specific work, afford
so much better entertainment than To-
cal companies composed of the same
grade Of material. ,"

Cincinnati EnquIrer.l
Strange things occur In this big city
every day. An incident happened the
other night at Sixth and Plum streets
which showed the almost human intelli-
gence and courage of a dog. The four
year-old child of John B. Bacigalupo was
trying to cross the street railroad track on
the south side of the market-hous when,
frightened by the near approach Of a car,
the little fellow in turning fell directly
across the track. The horses passed over
the boy without injuring him, and be-
fore any injury could be done dog, sit
ting with his master at the corner of the
market house, rushed toward the child
and pulled it from the track by it's clothes
just as the wheels were about to crush it.
Every one was astonished at the act OF
the dog, which was remarkably wise and
intelligent. He is owned by Thomas Clay,
a colored man. The rescue of the child by
the canine was observed by 9 large num-
Der of people. The brave dog u four years
old, and answers to the name of Jumbo.
He has become quite hero, and bis mas
ter had several offers for him after the in
cident, but Mr.. Clay, who is only poo
whitewssher, refused TO part with Jumbo
at any price.
The scene was so thrilling that ladies in
the car, looking out of the windows be-
cause of the sudden stop, screamed, aAG

Cornelius Spillane, a stationary engi.
neer, living at 3625 Dashed street has in

moving trains and railway stations. The
invention is an extremely simple affair,

insulated SLAB between the railway tracks.

runs through the train connecting all the
cars, so that conversation can be kept up
from all parts of the train to all stations

the line.
Mr.. Spillane thinks the adoption Of his
device on railway trains would render

and invoked the aid of the law.

Chancery Court, with Simon Borden, of

storm approaching. The black clouds
were chasing one another across the sky
with rapidity that warned them that the
rain would be upon them within, at the most
a very few moments
They had made no calculation on a storm,
and were entirely without protection. II
they should be caught without shelter, and
there seemed no escape, their clothing would
be drenched with the rain and they would
be Obliged to travel in this condition for the
balance of the day. No alternative was ap-
parent, and they were preparing to meet
their fate, when brilliant idea flashed
across the mind of one OF the party. Close

base were several long, but narrow, assures.
why not he suggested, remove the cloth

dry. Whatever water might fall upon them
would not injure their skins" Quick action
was necessity, for already they could see
the storm approaching.

nothing but his native modesty. the clothes
were quickly slowed away and the jolly
crowd rushed back to'the wagon and tImb

rueful cOuntenances, were forced to crawl

Then five figures practiced the Highland

their antics for five minutes. At the end OF
that time they crawled over the ice to the
wagon where they cleared a space on the

SLEEP AND HER COUSIN DEATH
The Relationship Between the Two
Conditions Of fUnconsciousueas.

The Relationship Between the Two
Conditions Of fUnconsciousuess.
The relationship between sleep, the
cousin of DEATH" and death itself, is
probably real as well as apparent. The
distance which separates them is great.
but there are intermediate connections,
grades of dissolution as of development.
Among these the similar states of trance
and hibernation are worthy of special
notice. For sleep and for trance, one
cause, the exhaustion chiefly of the ner-
Gus matter, but more or less Of every
IN and tissue, is assienable. The
nysterical stupor is the sleep of nerve
centers worn out vita the assault and
conflict Of stormy reflex action. Healthy
sleep is the rest Of physical elements
wearied with the same strain applied
more gradually.
Cases have been recorded in which
somnolence, continuing for days without
cessation. has resembled trance in its
duration, while preserving all the ordi-
nary features of natural rleep. Various
facts support us in associating the biber-
nation of animals with the same train of
organic or functional changes as the
other unconscious states which we have
been considering 1t comes like habit;
it has, one may say, annual return; its
apparent cause is the oppressi n of ex.
tcrnal cold, and the animals il affects
are mostly those which, from bodily
structure or habits, are subject to great
periodic variations of temperature.
Vital tissue is exhausted and function is
IN part suspended, probably because the
numbness of cold has taken upon the
radicles OF the outer circulation, and of
that of the brain surface which is con-
nected with it by numerous anastomoses.
In such a case anemia would seem TO be
the cause OF the winter sleep, as there is
evidence to show that it is also the cause
OF that temporary starvation of brain
which lulls without arrestin9 its action,
