he would have been murdered
long ere this. but up near the
roof he is comparatively safe. Letthere
be but suspicion of mel0drama in a
play and away he goes with his imita-
ton of the danger signal Of lOcOmo-
tive. He is most numerous at presenta-
tons of plays wherein the villain is
foiled about four times per hour, but he
has been known 10 invade the sacred
precincts of grand opera. At the close
of some brilliant aria. when the audi
ence sits spell bound in admiration
of the wonderful trills of the prima
donna. he inserts his dirty fingers into
his wildlystretched mouth and whistles.
But he is impartial with his fayors. His
notes fall clear and lOud upon the ear of
Booth as well as upon that of Rats" in
Tin Soldier. But despite his demOc-
racy he is an unmitigated nuisance.
Managers would earn the everlasting
gratitude of q majority of their patrons
if he were Summarily suppressed.

THE SUNDAY CRUSADE.

What has become of the vigorous
crusade against the Dissertation of the
Sabbath by means of the Sunday news
paper, the Sunday theater, the Sunday
admission TO the public library and
various Otner inventions or the devil,

not the devil, exists only in the minds
of certain Ovpr-ZealOuS diVines who are
not i'm health unless they are bucking
some enterprise which the People. with
a double plea p, demand and foster.
Have the ministers seen that IL Is OF
DO use 10 attempt the regeneration or
such a horribly wicked city as Mime
apolis, or have they concluded 10 adopt,
for the nonre- the tactics of the satanic
parsonage whom they are fighting and
are laying low, waiting for good OPP
DOrtunity 10 strike and To strike hard?
Whichever plan they have adopted. the
end is lkely to be much the same.
Whenever the puritanical enforcement
OF Sunday laws has been attempted IN
cities Of any size, two results have been
achieved: The eventual death OF the
movement and, while the war
lasted, the creation of vast
amount of amusement. For, when
q crusade Of that kind is started it
contemplated, usually to farcical emf.
But as Minneapolis is rather quiet at
present. despite the presence here Of

a good thing. An early advance upon

His concerts are classical and, at the

concerts are appreciated is evidenced
by the fact that they grow more pOpu-

He was pronounced too lovely for any

warm in more than one mothers heart
that her Thomas or Edward should be-

To Paw Expenses.

The wife of a wit has often as hard time
as the wife of a philosopher. 1t is an old
story about the wife of Emerson enduring
the sight of her husband breaking the teeth
out of her back comb, thinking, absent mind
eddy, that they were matches which he was
presently to light; but it is quite new story
that of a famous modern humorist who
really gets a great many of his best and fun
NEST ideas from his wife. .

Wanted Twenty-fonr Apostles.

Stories almost without end have been told
on John Stetson, the well known theatrical
manager, and hundreds of them have been
printed, but here is one old enough to be
chestnut, but SO far as learned has never been
in print. The incident occurred away back
when the attempt was made in New York to
produce the Passion" play, and Stetson was
managing it. This gentleman's ignorance
and coarseuess have been the subject of more
than fpur-fifths of the yarns told on him, but
all have had to admit that his eye for artistic
effect in setting c stage is nearly perfect. Af,
fairs in connection with the play had reached
point where dress rehearsal was arranged
Mr.. StetsOn and the stage manager were
seated in the parquet to observe the scene.
On the left Of the stage was Pontius PLATE
and Jesus Christ; back of them, but still on the
left, was q large rabble; on the right had been
placed the twelve apostles. At the first
glance Stetson began to kick. why" he
yelled Gngrily, that stage amt set right, it's
all out of balance" "Well," said the stage
manager meelly, lit is the best we could do
with the people we have" Whats that

are the twelve apostles" "Well, get twenty;

The CurfeW Bell.

An interesting bell ringing custom was
that Of ringing the curfew, modified form
of which still exists in this country and IN
England. Curfew, of which Gray speaks SO
feelingly in his elegy, was established in the
year 1865 by William the Conqueror, or, as
the English people more frequently say, Will
lam the Norman, and was partially abolished
about the year 110O The curfew bell was
rung promptly at p. m, at which time the
people were compelled to put out or cover up
their fires and blow out their candles Henry
| fixed the matter in the year last mentioned
so as TO not absolutely prohibit lighted can
dies until after the ninth hour The curfew
bell was rung in order to compel every one,
high or low, to cover up and put out the fire,
which in those early days was in a hole in
the center of the house-a hole being cut in
the roof to allow the smoke to escape
The word ''curfew" is a corruption of two
words couvre feu, literally cover fire." the
custom being to cover the hole in the floor
with large fiat rock or metal basin made
for that purpose. As long as these customs
were strictly adhered to great conlagrations
We're thought to be well nigh impossible. Be
this as it may, the people did not look upon
it in that light, they only thought Of the rigid
sway of the cOnqueror.
Thomson thus describes the feelings of the
conquered people who were forced to put out
their cheerful fires by foreign invader"
The shivering wretches, at the curfew sound,
Detected sank Into their sOrdid beds,
And through the mOurnfu CLEAN of better times
Mus d sad, or dreamt Of better.

Desert of Sahara.

The Sahara as a whole Is not below sea
level; it is not the dry bed of a recent ocean,
and it is not as fiat as the proverbial pancake
all over Part of it, indeed, is very noun
famous, and all of it is more or less varied In
level The upper Sahara consists of rocky
plateau rising at times into considerable
peaks; the lower, to which it descends by a
steep slope, is "a vast depression of clay and
sand," but still for the most part standing
high above sea level No portion of the up
per Sahara is less than 800 feet bigh-a good
deal higher than Dartmoor or Derbyshire
Most of the lower reaches from 200 to 300
feet-quite as elevated as Essex or Leicester.
The two spots below sea level consist of the
beds of ancient lakes, now much shrunk by
evaporation, owing to the rainless condition
of the country; the soil around these is deep
in gypsum, and the water itself is considera-
bly, salter than the sea. That, however, is
always the case with fresh water lakes in
their last dotage, as American biologists
have amply proved, in the case of the great
Salt lake of Utah. Moving sand undoubtedly
covers large space in both divisions of the
desert, but according to Sir Lambert Play
fair our best modern authority on the sub
ject, it occupies not more than one-third part
of the entire Algerian Sahara. Elsewhere
rock, clay and muddy lake are the prevail.
ing features, interspersed with not infrequent
date groves and villages, the product of ar.
tesian wells, or excavated spaces, or river
cases. Even Sahara, in short, to give it its
due, is not by any means so black as it's
painted-COrnhill Magazine
