Old Circus Tricks.

Now that l am out of the circus line do
not mind telling you one Of the secrets Of the
business 1t is one of the cutest tricks in the
profession of ticket seller While we were
down south and in small towns where the
people were unsophisticated, we would adver-
tise our big elephant, our dens Of lions, tigers,
bears and other animals, when we only had
horses and mules. That was years ago, how
ever, and the people now have to see all the
animals in the street before they patrouize
the show. One fake which every one in the
show was ION to" was the red ticket. A man
with young lady would walk boldly up to
the ticket stand, and to impress his lady
companion would pull out a roll Of money.
The ticket seller would see it, and after re-
turning the wrong change and ticket, would
put one Of these red slips into the mans hat
band, saying, at the same time, that it would
take him "clear through the menagerie, cir
Gus and concert" 1t was but mark for the
other fellows, and that man would be bored
to death by the candy, peanut, Lemonade
concert and song book man. and when they
got through he would still be a mark for the
pickpockets. If he got out Of the tent with
any of that roll he went in with it was not
his fault.-St. Louis Globe-Democrat.

A Mother In the Play.

Some queer mistakes happen to actresses,
due to the many roles they enact upon the
stage Recently Miss Kathryn Kidder, who
is playing the part Of mother to Little Lord
Fauntleroy at the Broadway theatre, at
tended reception. The hostess introduced
her to lady, with this remark: "She is the
mother of Little Lord Fauntleroy." Some
how the lady interpreted the remark liter
ally and began to question Miss Kidder about
the age of her little son and when she per-
mitted him to go on the stage. 1t was an
embarrassing moment, when the young &C
tress explained that she was only the
mother in the play and not in real
life. Miss Kidder is young and has rich
father, who is willing TO star her any time
she desires. She told reporter that she pre-
ferred to work patiently and become star

when she was only l6 years old, and made a

modern Athens gravely announce that
Browning wrote Lady Geraldine's Court
ship in two consecutive hours" AS it was
written by Elizabeth Barrett some years be-

clear how it should be ascribed to her hus-
band. 1t was, moreover, written by Miss
Barrett in twelve hours, which, though six

TOYS for Great Britain.

Great Britain gets about 100000 worth Of
foreign toys every year. Now, as it is reck.
oned that there are rather more than l5,0O0,-
900 of children in the United Kingdom
Is years old and under, it follows that the
outlay for foreign toys is not much more
than pence per child Most of these articles
come from Germany, which sends to British
dealers toys of the value of ESQ, 600 a year.
Holland is second, with 9l25,000 worth;
France follows with $4,000 worth, while
Belgium is a fairly good fourth with e70,OO0
worth. Considering how clever the Ameri-
cans are, it is singular that the United States
supply only $4,000 worth Of these joys of the
children's heart Yankee inventors do not
care to waste their smartness on the trivial
toy.-New York Telegram.

Lifting the Hat.

Lifting the hat is a custom that had mill
tary origin, it is said. In olden times soldiers
wore helmets to protect their heads from as
saults by the sword or battle axe, and to re-
move this head covering was to show con-
fidence in the man to whom the salute was
extended No gentleman was expected to
split mans head open after this mark Of
trustfulness, though he was sometimes treach-
erous enough to do so. To lift the hat grace
fully is considerable Of an requirement, re-
quiring long practice. There is a man in
New York who has become such an adept at
it that he can lift half dozen hats at a time,
if he can sneak into hallway while the folks
are at dinner.-Texas Siftings.

Americans and Money.

The American is constantly accused by
Europeans of worshiping the almighty dol
lar" and great was my curiosity to judge for
myself of the justice of this charge. After
calm observation of the ways of men in
America, came to the conclusion that the
dollar was certainly not only the unit Of the
monetary system, but that it was also the
unit of the metrical system. However,
soon saw that, if the dollar was coveted and
held in great respect, it was not so much for
itself as for the luxury it was the key to; in
other words, that avarice was a vice almost
unknown in the land There is a lavishness
in the Americans way Of expanding his
money that redeems his trick of taking of
his hat to it whenever he sees it.-Max

Brain Weight of Bows and Girls,

In the final result of the comparison Of the
two sexes in the human race, anatomical re-
searches will form an important factor.
Many ANTAGONISTS have recognized this fact,
and have instituted comparisons between the
sexes from various points of view NJ. Gustave
le Bon reviews the work of NJ Manouv:'ier
and that of NJ Budin, both Of whom aver
that sex has no influence on brain weight.
With them the influence of sex is nothing
more than the influence of height and if the
females, as whole, exceed the males in brain
weight, it is simply because the weight of the
body in the females is much below that of the
males" NJ le Bon puts the theory of his al,
versaries to the test in a very ingenious man
ner by comparing the brains of males and
females having about the same weight By
this investigation it is shown that in the great
majority of cases the male children surpass
the females Of the same weight in their cranial
circumference At the same age height, and
weight of body, the female brain is notably
smaller than that Of the male.-Herald of
