During an engagement OF the Strakosch
Opera company some years ago., "Car.
mem was presented. The stage manager
instructed the captain of the supes to
make his first entrance with his men from
the back in single file, come down the
right side Of the stage to the front, cross
the stage Us near the ~footlights as possible,
go up on the left side and there form line.
The directions were so simple that the
stage manager thought 1t quite unneces-
sary to rehearse the supers in the bust
ness. They obeyed to the letter. When
the came for their entrance they filed
on exactly in accordance wit hinstructions,
the captain at their head, walked down
the stage TO the footlights and started to
cross when they were brought to n sudden
halt by the prompter's hood, which stood
exactly in their line of march. There
was not sufficient room for them TO pass
between it and the footlights, so, after n
momentary pause to consider the dilemma,
tho captain proceeded to crawl over the
hood, and every man Jack of his crowd
followed suit.-Detroit Free Press.

Mountain Climbing Mt Home.

DR.. j. Buttner, of Kotzschcn- Breda,
has invented q contriyance which enables
people TO indulge in the healthy pastime
of mountain climbing without leaving
their rooms. This apparatus is more par

suffering from a defective circulation.

side and working in srch a way that one
rises while the other is being pressed
down by the foot. Under each step is n
bellows which offers n resting power to
the down tread. The labor OF climbing Is
regulated by means of a lever brake.
The steps are six inches high, and the less
or greater stecpness of the climb can be
initiated by treading the step halfway
down, or to its full depth; also by vary
ing the amount Of luggage carried by the
operator. A self acting pedometer

Liability to Pulmonary Consumption.
Having seen, then, that in the aggre-
gate more civilized males than females
die of pulmonary consumption; that the
costal respiration of the civilized female is
developed through the constructing influ-
cnce Of dress around the abdomen; that
the lungs possess an excessive breathing
surface, which, by sedentary occupations,
etc, can be, and is frequently, reduced in
n great degree; that the baneful results of
such a reduction, consisting of hyperemia,
etc, fall with the greatest force on the
apex of the lung; that all those who suf-
fer from consumption also show a decided
tendency to immobility of the upper part
of the chest-are we not, therefore, justi-
fed in believing that a defective costal
respiration and the beginning of pulmon-
airy consumption stand in relntion to each
other rs cause and effectp
And, going one step further, is it not
clear that the civilized female owes her
greater immunity from this disease in n
great measure to the fact that she pos
sesses n more highly developed costal ex-
pnnsioni II these relations exists, 1t is quite
obvious that her name of dress is a di-
rect factor in bringing about this result.
She has, by force of necessity, been led to
clothe herself after a method which de-
mands q restriction of the abdominal and
d~inphragmatic movements, and which
cultiyates q greater development of the
,costal portion of the breathing organs,
and thereby she unconsciously protects
herself to a greater degree against this
diseases; while the male, on the hand,
dresses himself after a fashion which Sc
cures perfect freedom of motion to the
diaphragm and abdominal muscles, but
which also attracts and tends to confine
the respiratory function to the lower p6f-
ton of the chest. Moreover, 1t must not
be forgotten that h same fashion also
demands that his clothing should be lsus-
pended from the shoulders, which of itself
restricts the movements of the upper por-
ton OF the chest, making it evident, there
fore, hat his clothing renders him, both
directly and Indirectly, more liable to the
disease under consideration. To this con-
%clusion, and to no other, do our facts and
reasoning lead.-Science.

.Lanciani forwards to the Atheneum an
account of the gambling tools found in a
tomb near Perugia, Italy. Glass spheres
of various c%olors, S16 small hemispheres

lers to the antiquarian. There were six
teen bone labels four inches long, with a
word on n side and a number on the
other. The first twelve numbers in this

the names given them on the labels up to
that number are spiteful or scurrilous, as

selected its leader after the following

ated in q really mastery style the 'arduous
roles of two ladies', Mrs Gregory Greenfnch
and the Countess of .Rambuteau. Watty
certainly has the talent for transforming
himself into any character and completely
losing his identity in masterly style. Rider
brought down the house in his comic delin-
cation of Gregory Greenfnch, the truant
husband. Mr.. Clifford also deserves word
of praise for the servant man HTsnothy."
The comedy was followed by musical me-
linge. Mr.. Clifford sang two ballads nicely
and looked well. Watty'si i"My Johnnie was

Mr.. Eider sang his far-faned "Hunqry

shouts OF approval, and for an encore the
''TwlEs" was substituted. The afterpieee OF

good humor.
Tonight an entire change of programme,
'Mrs. Caudle's Curtain Lecture which is
said to be Watty's masterpiece, followed by
songs and recitatiors, to conclude with
Quiet versus Riot, in which twelve different
characters will be impersonated.
