In a Hurry 10 "Mash Irn.o

There are few things that destroy
the pleasure of witnessinga dramatic
representation more than the hasty
moving of the characters from their
positions before the curtain has
quite reached the floor. at the end OF
an net. You see a V lain shot down
and killed instanter. You. see him
make one convulsivc movement and
ten straightcn out, II very dead
corpse. You think to yourself:
well, thank heaven, he is done for"
There are perhaps few words from
the leading man, who, with issmok-
ing pistol in his hand, takes the
heroine to his bosom. Then the cur
tain falls to slow music. The bottom
of the curtain is perhaps two feet from
the stage, when the corpse begins to
pull itself together. preparatory to
rising. Now. how can you believe
that the villain is disposed of, and
that he will not eXecisc II disturbing
influence upon the fortunes of the
hero and heroine in future. when YOU
know that he was only pretending to
he dead? 1t is not only corpses that
offend in this way. Live people,
when they have grouped themselves
in an effective tableau, should not al
low the audience to see them scuttling
away to their dressing rooms, be-
cause they are too impatient to wait
for the complete fall OF the curtain.
Margaret Mather is one OF the worst
offenders in this respect that have
ever seen.-Pittsburg Bulletin.

Shifting City Populations

The miSgovcrnmcnt of our great
cities is due largely to the facts that
IL comparatively small part of their
inhabitants are native to hem, that
Il yrrt, portion of tll"ir inhabitants
are but temporary residents in them,
and that of tllcir permanent resi-
dents the greater part have in the
course of IL lifetime changed their
abolcs. The sense in the individual
of responsibility for the good of the
community is weakened by the con-
stnnt shifting and alteration ofits
members.
\ man naturally takes less interest
in the affairs that concern the wei
fare of comparative strangers than
i'm those which affect his friends, and
naturally cares less tor he welfare of
Il community OF which he is u mere
transient member than of one to
which lie is bound for lilc and wit
whose pas: and future he is united
by indissnlublc ties. New York is II
city OF strangers to each ot her. with
out common traditions or control
ling common interests. So vast an
aggregation of men wit llsotrw of the
elements Oi II true community has
never before been seen.
In such "a city the social sentiment
is feeble, and it's part is largely taken
by the mere sense OF the necessity of
maintaining the institutions rcNuis-
ite for the defense OF material inter
csts. Civic pride, ono Of the most
powerful motives in the history of
the progress of civilization, has lost
it's force among us.-l'rofcssor
Charles Eliot Norton in Scribners.

The Dimensions Of Heaven.

Capt. J. B. Sharkey, measurer OF
vessels in the Surveyors office, Boston
Custom House, has made the follow
ing calculations as to the dimensions
of heaven: "And he measured the city
with the reed, 1900 furlongs. The
length and breadth and the height are
equal. Rev. xxi. 6. Twelve
thousand furlongs-7, $4,000 feet
cubed-497, 793. OS8, 600, 900, 900, 900 feet,
Reserving one-half of this space for
the throne and court of heaven, and
one-haf of the balance for streets, we
have 124.198, 272, 900, 600, 600, 600 feet
cubic. Divide this by 4,O96 cubic feet
in a room sixteen feet square and there
will be 30.321, ,843, $50, 900, 900 rooms.
We will now suppose the world always
did and always will contain 10000, 900
inhabitants and that a generation lasts
thirty-three aud one-third years, max

there were 100 worlds like this, equal
in number of inhabitants and duration

What Comes of Ultra Etiquette.

The families of Chief Justice Fuller
and Senator Evarts are very thick. 1t
has brought about remarkable re-
form in certain social customs. The
celebrated writer on etiquette, Mrs.
Pussie Sherwood, declares with en-
phasis that, in making calls, cards
| family. In strict adherance to this
rule, when the seven Evarts girls went
over to call on the Fullers, they had to
leave cards for themselves and papa
and mamma Evarts for papa and
mamma Fuller and the eight Fuller
| girls, that is:
7plus 2Xa plus $50.
Each time they made call they had
to leave ninety cards on the hall table.
and when the Fuller girls went over to
see the Evarts family they had to leave
ninety cards to do the thing in proper
shape.
Now those girls would die, each and
every one of them, rather than do
single thing which was not chic and
recherche and au fait and en- regle and
cafe au lait, especially the Fuller girls,
and as they ran back and forth to see
each other in their innocent girlish
way not less than four times day, the
! equation stood at the end of the month:
90X2x4x30-3l, 900.
Justice Fuller came here about Oct. l.
and by the end of the year his dear
girls had used over $4,000 cards call
ing on the Evarts girls, and not less
than $4,000 more calling on other pre-
| cious creatures. and the house was full
of cards. He couldn't pick up a book
. or put down hand without grabbing
a handful of cards. The house was
carpeted with cards. And it was the
same way over at Senator Evarts'.
The Judge had been drawing his
$lO.500 year in monthly INSTALL
ments. and paying his landlord $1,000
a month with commendable regularity
and cheerfulness. But when Jan. /
came around. and the stationer ran in
bill of $500 for printing 10000 visit
ing cards. the Judge felt apprehen-
sive.
The stationer had the thing down
fine. To accommodate the girls he had
been putting the cards in neat little
decks of ten-just family decks. you
see. Then, when the call was made,
pack was left for each member of
the family called upon. And the
Evarts girls had theirs fixed the same
way. So convenient: didn't have to
break deck.
The Justice carefully brushed his
hat that evening. He had thought of
buying a new tile as a New Years
present, but he put away the notion
and gave the old one whirl against q
benzine rag. Then put it on. washed
his hands carefully, gave his mustache
n twist, and went over to Senator
Evarts'. He looked lougingly at a
passing street car. but resolutely braced
himself against temptation and walked.
The Senator and the Justice had
long, confidential talk. and parted
