Il remember once. said the manager. that
poor John Mccullough had a raging tooth.
ache one night when he was PLAYING Nir
ginius at McNickers The tooth legan to
howl while he was making up for the part,
and he had no time u seek dentist Dur
ing the whole first act he was i'll agony, and
he ordered Harry Vance 10 send out for a
dentist at any cost. Dentists were hard to
find at such an hour and McCullough's tooth
played the Star Spangled Banner without
missing a note. In the prison scene he had
chance u relieve himself, and the way he did
denounce Appius ClauiIus was a caution.
Ned Collier, who played the part was scared
to death. After that act the dentist came
into the dressing room and examined the rt-
fractory m"lar Like all Of his profession,
he wanted To save and ill ii, but Mccullough
said, Out with it 1t was Il pretty sturdy
tooth, and the trage,llan hung to the straps

rather wilted. He didn't have to make up

The Wine Trade of France.

A strange coincidence in the wine trade Of
France is that the smaller the outturn Of
grapes the larger Is the amount of exports.
This statement does not apply solely tO the
poorer qualities. but also tO the finer brands
A solution to the problem Is to H. found in
she large importations Of foreign wines into
France, where they are MIXED and blended
with the home products. These wines come
from Spain. Africa, Italy and other districts
Of the Mediterranean, but the chief supply Is
Furnished 10y Sicily.
For instance. the chamber Of Catania re
ports that from the port Of Riposte alone
there were sent away by sea in the last four
months of lSS4 no less than 3.S1f9js gallons
of wine, Of which ), II, ,jG2 gallons went to
foreign ports From the same port during
the year lSN5 there were shipped I -42 rs
gallons, gain Of ,+OOH0 on the previous
year This, 1t will be remembered. is only
the wine export Of one port Of Sicily. The
vintage of Italy during the past year has

THE END OF THE WORLD.

On far height in Dreamland wandering,
Ny eyes sought out the Earth and followed
it
In its slow circuit of the anchored sun;
And, as gazed, the great sphere wonder
Ously
Trembled and shrank-and smaller grew un
til
Its mighty bulk was leSSened TO a span.
Then from the vast, empurplei solitude
Was stretched an arm and the white hand
thereon
Brushing aside the film Of floating stars
Closed on the world and drew it down and
down
Into the dark, abysmal infinite!
