Manager Edward Aronson, Of the
Casino, says that one Of the peculiar difYi-
culties that an operate manager has TO
contend with is the terror Of his company
at n first night. In all dramatic perfor-
mances, he says there is liability to
nervousness upon first night, and o
liability TO exasperating accidents that no
care in rehearsal can prevent, and with
singers it is much more likely to be
troublesome than with those who are
actors only.
1--WE find very frequently" he said,
'that most experienced people, those who
have the most reason to feel confident of
the kindly appreciation Of the public, will
hesitate, forget their lines, forget their
business and altogether act below par
upon the first production of a new opera
l have noticed during an experience of
many years, and think that other man
ayers will say the same thing, that those
who have to sing upon the stage are more
likely to be nervous upon first appear
ance in new role than those who act"

SOM QUEER MlSHAPS.

William Merritt, of Newark, lost the caIf
of his leg by the accidental discharge of his
gun while hunting in the Berkshire woods
Patrick Harmon, of Springfield, Mass, II
years of age, must do without his right hand
in future. He was shooting ducks when his
gun burst, and the fingers of that hand went
flying after the game.
Capt Reynolds, of Radon Court, Latch
ford, England, lost his life by his gun ex-
ploding as he was climbing a fence, Tne
charge shattered he -. :nes, and amputa-
ton did not save him.
James Evanson came into Washington, N.
c., from the country to buy an ak. While
departing from the store with his purchase
he dropped it and it fell on his right foot,
completely severing the second toe.
Miss Catherine Simonds, who lived near
Reading, England, lost her life while hunt
ing Her horse stumbled in rabbit hole,
Miss Simonds fell and her horse kicked out
her brains before she could be rescued.
With his hand hanging in shreds, William
Erwin, of Morris Plains, n. j., walked to a
hospital, where the wounded member was
amputated He had been hunting rabbits,
and his gun was prematurely discharged

The distance Of the star Alpha Centauri
may be stated in round numbers to be
%. 600 000. 000, 900 of miles. Now, a bill
lion means million of millions. so that
the distance of Alpha Centauri may be
stated to be twenty millions of millions OF
miles Let us now try to form some con-
ception. however imperfect. of the amazing
distance. Let us suppose railway train
to leave the earth travelling day and night
at the rate Of fifty miles an hour without
stoppages. In six months it would reach
the naoon in 200 years it would reach the
sun and in 6.000 years il would reach the
planet Neptune. the orbit of which forms
the extreme known limit Of the planetary
system The same train, however, would
not reach the star Alpha Centauri in less
than ~ 600, coo years.
One more illustration may be nseful-
Comets. in general, revolye in very eccen-
trio orbits. When a comet is in the peri
helion Of its orbit it Is comparatively near
TO the earth. on the other hand, when it
is at the aphelion it is remcfe-in many
instances very remote-from the earth.
For instance the celebrated comet of lS1S.
known as Donati's comet, one of the
greatest comets Of modern times, at the
time of its passage Of the perihelion was
distant from the sun 50.0f0, 900 miles; but
when it has attained the aphelion OF its
orbit (which will occur in about LOCO years
hereafter its distance from the earth will
not be less than 80 600 GEO, 900 miles. Now
our typical railway train starting from the
earth would not reach the aphelion of the
orbit Of Donati's comet in less than CO..
600 years, and yet the aphelion distance
OF Donati's comet is only one seven-hun-
dredth part of the distance from the earth
to Alpha Centauri, the nearest of the fixed
stars.-Good Words.

The Chinese penal code provides that
when an unskillful physician, in admins
tering medicines or using the acupuncture
needle. proceeds contrary to the estab-
lished forms, and thereby causes the death
Of the patient, the magistrate shall call in
other physicians to examine the medicines
OF the wound. II 1t appear that the in
jury done was unintentional, the prac-
titioner shall then be treated according to
the statute for accidental homicides, and
shall not any longer be allowed to
practice medicine. But II he have de-
signedly departed from the established
forms, and have practiced deceit in his
attempts to cure the malady in order to
gain property, then, according to its
amount. he shall be treated as a thief;
and If death ensues from his malpractice,
then for having thus used medicine with
intent to kill, he shall be beheaded. There
appears to be nothing in the CELESTIAL

often makes miserable abortion of the short

What Silence We keep. year after yeaP
With those who are most near TO us and deaf,
We live beside each other day by day
And speak Of myriad thi1,s and seldom say
The full, sweet word that lies just in our reach
Beneath the commonplace Of common speech.
Then out Of sight and out Of reach they go
These close. familiar friends who loved Us;
And. sitting 10 the shadow they have left,
Alone with loneliness and sore bereft.
We think with vain regret Of some fond word
That once We might have said and they have heard
For weak and poor the lore that We express
Vow seefas beside the vast, sweet unexpressed,
And slight the deeds we d TO those undone,
And small the service spent to treasures won.
And undeserved the praise for word and deed
That should have overfiowed the simple need
This IL the cruel cross Of life, to be
Full visionesl only wien the ministry
OF death has been fulfilled. and in the place
OF some dear presence Is but empty space
What recollected service erer can tsen
Give consolation for the might have been,
