No nlsa Comedy N,v.a.ys.

ans generation knows almost nothing
BY stage experience of pure high comedy
except in the way of revival. What un-
der tho name of comedy has occasionally
won success on our English stage is q
production which has somewhat reached
upward to tragedy or stretched down.
ward to farce, or, moro often, has bor-
rowed tho fine feathers of melodrama.
The true, fuller modem comedy, such as
Moliere initiated, and even our best res
toration comedy playwrights have but
poorly initiated from him, and such as
once or twice that greatest comedy &C.
MUS of this century, Labiche, has at
tempted in an age that asked for lower
things, is an unknown thing now on the
London stage.
Now this finer and fuller comedy that
wcnow not ismore than mere represen-
tation of life, or even an Interpretation
of it. 1t is a larger thing altogether, for,
first, it must contain some clement of
not unkindly satire, with keen wit and
broad humor, or it is no true comedy.
Then, too, nature is not to be merely
photographed, but mirror is to be held
up to reflect the likeness and at times
the antics of human nature; but it must
be magic mirror, that shall have just
such q power Of artful distortion in 1t as
that we shall never ourselves be hurt to
think we perceive our own lineaments
disfgured or our own motions Knocked.
Finally, there must be some sort of elec-
tricism-a picking out of the salient
points of human nature, an intensifca-
ton and IN enhancement. It is clear
there must be this, for the realism loving
audiences could not stand the pointless
and long winded talk Of ordinary men
and women.-Fortnightly Review.

Awoman to Whom 1s Is a Lucky Number

A Woman to Whom IS Is Lucky Number,
Thirteen is full Of ill omen to some
people and full Of good luck to others.
1t brought great fortune to Cora Edsall,
the latest star to rise in the theatrical
armament. Sho went to see J. M. Hill,
the manager, number of times and
failed to meet him. She resolved to try
once more and make that last effort.
She was informed at the Union Square
theatre that he was at Clarendon hall
rehcarsing. She went there.
AS she put her foot on the first of the
stone stairs to ascend she remembered
that she was in Thirteenth street. 1t
was the thirteenth time she had gone
after Mr.. Hill. She lived in a house
numbered 10, had ridden down town in
car No. 13, and it was the 18th day Of
the month. She was so frightened at
the accumulation of thirteens that she
almost tainted. She drew her foot back
and was about to give up when the
thought struck her that maybe so many
thirteens meant success.
She took heart and went on. When
she arrived in the hall Mr.. Hill was set
Ting some dispute among the actors.
Ho was standing i'll the auditorium alone.
The rehearsal was just over. AS the
manager turned to leave she went up to
him and said she wanted an engagement.
Mr.. Hill replied that his company was
full. She asked him to hear her read.
He agreed. She read to him then and
there. He accepted her, had a play
written for her and brought her out as a
leading attraction.-New York Press.

Oxvpcnntc,l OIL ca.

DR.. Thcrne has carried out a series OF
experiments with view of testing the
advantages Of tho Tathem patent for the
manufacture of an oil gas of very high
Illuminating power. Mr.. Valon has
shown at Ramsgate that oxygen may be
used with advantage for the publication
Of coal gas, and that he found that in
his process the addition of oxygen to the
gas caused an increase In the illuminat-
ing power. Tho same is now found to
be the case when oxygen is added to oil
gas, and it has been shown that as much
as so per cent. of oxygen can be added to
the oil gas without any risk of forming
an explosive mixture. The process at
present used consists in first heating
American petroleum to moderate tenn
perature In an iron retort, and then add.
ing to the gases and vapors produced
about 90 per cent. of oxygen, which pre-
vents the subsequent condensation Of the
vapors and at the same time enor-
mously increases the illuminating power.
The necessary plant is of a very simple
description, and, as far as one can judge
from tho experiments which have been
carried out, there seems every ground
for believing that the process is one
which will be found to work we'll on
large scale and be capable of producing
al Illuminating gas of high intensity at
a comparatively cheap rate.-Manufact-
urer.

A Tree Growing in Mid Air.

There is to be seen few miles from
the outskirts of Richmond, Tex. "a natural
curiosity, the like of which is perhaps to
be found nowhere else in the world. tits
an enormous oak tree literally suspend
ed in the air. 1t stands in the midst of
a dense grove known as Bentley's wood,
and is made quite show of. The mys-
terry of its supension is that numerous
hunting parties having camped beneath
it during period of many years their
fires have gradually burned the trunk
entirely away for distance of six feet,
but its large and spreading branches are
SO closely entwined in those of the trees
growing closely about it that it is sup
ported by them.
Just how its huge bulk is nourished is
a mystery, but that it is we'll nourished
is evident, for it is green and fourishing.

An Asylum That Collects Stamps.

There is an asylum for orphan girls in
Locle, Switzerland, which finds mar
ket for all the old postage stamps sent to
it. Nearly everybody for and near ac-
quainted with the fact sends to the asy-
lum his or her second hand stamps, and
for the information of those who are ig-
norant a circular is issued calling for the
contribution Of stamps and also setting
forth tho uses to which they are ap-
piled. Rare stamps of course 20 to
dealers or collectors, while the common
CT sorts are applied to decorative pur-
poses, being used to ornament screens,
shades, ETC., and even, so says the circu-
lar, to paper rooms. The circular does
not say how the American green stamp
of the past can be used for decoration.
Over million of stamps were received
by the institution from all over the
world in 1888, and considerably larger
number in 1880. The stamps are assort-
ed by the children and put up in pack
ages of so or 100 each. Those collected
in 1888 were sold for 1900 francs, or
s24O, and those of 1880 for $500. This
may not seem much to Americans, but
money goes further in Switzerland than
here. Persons, therefore, who want to
put their old postage stamps where they
will do the most good should send them
to M. j. Nougier, directeur de TAsile
des Billodes, Locle, Switzerland.-Ex-

A Happy and Favored Spider.

Far up in the corner Of my room is a
big black cobweb. and big llack spider
dwells therein. He has dwelt there
quite year now, and although many
surreptitious feminine glances of horror
at the wretched housekeeping of some
people steal up to that corner my happy
spider is never disturbed. think he al
most loves me now; he comes down
often, dropping inch by inch, by thin
golden thread, and he runs rapidly and
twinkling-legged over my table and pa
pers, pausing for moments at a time to
look at me with bright, unwinhng eyes
and motionless body.
Happy, happy fellow! He has his
health, his spirits, and his home with
tiny sweetheart locked therein, where
no covetous eyes may find her. What
more could he ask to make him happy?
But one day-ah, me!-some one else
will come into this room with an alert
eye for cobwebs and u strong hand
to remove them. and dthen-then-when
he is homeless and friendless and hope
less my spider may understand how
right down good was to him.-Ella
Hgginson in West Shore.

Miss Dashk,rtsen. Tomb.

Maries body lies in the chapel built
by her mother i'll the cemetery of Passy,
just outside of Paris. The chapel is
work of art, designed by Bastien Le-
pages brother and made of marble In
building this memorial chapel Nine.
Bashkirtseff disregarded cost entirely, so
much SO in fact that it went beyond even
her means, and still remains to be paid
for. Around Marie's grave are hung all
her best pictures, those of some of her
girl friends still alive, which must he
rather gloomy, and the picture which
Bastien Lepage painted when he tried
unsuccessfully to win the Prix de Rome
as a young man, for which Nine. Bash
kirtseff paid an immense price after the
artists death. She thought, as she told
Marie's friends, that it would please
Marie to have the painting in which Bas-
ten was SO much interested hanging up
near her body. The building of such =
chapel as Marie's in tho cemetery of
Passy was contrary to tho municipal reg
ulations. 1t was through the influence
of the Marechal dc Canrobert, who is
also senator, that Nine. Bashkirtseff
got special permission from the Paris
municipal council.-New York Sun.

Rent, Of Store. in uoto, nu,,d,nr..

"That.interesting period has come in
the history of New York real estate"
said an architect and builder, "when
judiciously planned building, no matter
to what business purpose it is originally
dedicated, may be made to contain on
its street fronts stores enough, to be de-
voted to other and distinct businesses,
to pay by their rentals the interest on
the cost of constructing the entire build
ing. A hotel draws people to it's
vicinage, and great hotel would draw
people enough even to new locality to
give good custom to the shops to which
the ground floor could be appropriated.
A single store room under the Fifth
Avenue hotel pays rental of $15, COO
annually. Tho rentals such a hotel
might receive would enable it to exist
without any guests at all, just as the
New York Central Railroad company is
said to own enough real, rent paying
estate to enable it, out of Its income SO
received, to pay actually a dividend ON
its bonds, even if it never sent out
train."-New York World.

An Unflnisl,ed Shave.

This reminds the writer of an expert
ence in tho Arran Islands, on the west
coast of Ireland. He had three weeks
growth of beard on his face, and he
hunted over the three islands for bar
ber, at last finding one who was willing
to undertake tho job. Tho Arran barber
had never shaved Yankee, and was
overjoyed at the chance. He was 20
years old, and had been engaged all his
life at building stone walls. He sharp
ened his razor on piece of smooth flag
stone and seated his victim in a kitchen
chair. One man held the patients head
and dozen interested spectators looked
on, for it was all altogether unprece-
dented event in the islands. Tho lath-
ering was done with q piece of hard
brown soap, which was rubbed over the
face. Grabbing handful of hair on
top of the patients head the stone wall
builder hourished tho razor in the air
and exclaimed:
care ye all ready, sir?''
"All right" was the trembling reply.
Down came the razor with a sweep like
tn;it OF u scyCne. Inc implement was
evidently us full of teeth as n buzzsaw
1t tore the hair out by the roots. It
raised the victim bolt upright as if a
cannon cracker had exploded. Tears
gathered in his eyes. His hands clinched
convulsively, and q nvulet of blood ran
down his cheek. The butcher went to
the window to wipe his weapon clean.
While standing there he looked up and
exclaimed sympathetically:
"Shure, sir, ye have face as tindher
as little babyl''
Tho shave was concluded three weeks
later in tho city of Galway.-New York
Sun.

Grist Mills.

Grist mills occupy prominent posi-
lion in modern farming. By their use
the labor of reducing food to a digestible
condition is transferred from the ami
mails to the steam engine, and the ner-
vous energy which would be used for the
purpose can be directed to the organs
which assimilate the nourishment and
transform it into flesh and bone In the
case of horses which are kept busy in the
day it is almost imperative that part
of the mechanical work Of crushing or
cutting their food should be done for
them, or else they have not sufficient
time left for rest. One has only to ex-
anime a sample of beans or maize to re-
alize what an expenditure of power is
needed to grind them up in an animals
mouth.-New York Commercial Adver-

Fncts About Ammonia.

The name of the chemical agent am
monia dates back to remote antiquity.
In Europe the chief source of tho supply
of ammonia up to the latter part of the
last century was Egypt. 1t was made
originally from camel's dung collected
in the neighborhood of the temple of
Jupiter Ammon, hence the name am
monia. The droppings were collectedin
March and April by Arabs, then dried
and burned and the SCOT collected. This
was sold to merchants, and ammonia was
collected from the SCOT by chemical
process. 1t is now almost entirely made
from crude gas liquor in Illuminating
gas manufactures. Only half as much
ammonia is made in summer as in win
ter. Hence ammonia is always more
costly in summer. Furthermore, am
monia is extensively used in the manu-
facture Of artificial ice.-New York Sun.

New Theory of tho Tides.


The shape in which the facts of nature
presents themselves to unframed minds
Is often amusing enough, but often it is
also suggestive. Among sailors and fish
ermen, for instance, one often finds a
way Of stating things which is not only
picturesque but which gives one an idea
besides.
It was an old fisherman OH the coast
Of Maine who put forward theory of
the tide which is not without it's inter-
est as we'll as its drollery. He was a
philosophical old gentleman, much given
to meditation in the sun, and above all
things else determined never to be
caught by aqueston. He had always
his answer, no matter what the inquiry
made might be; and in tho fishing village
where he lived he had something of the
reputation Of an oracle.
"Thompson," some one asked him, edo
you know what causes the tides?"
The old man smoked in silence q mo-
ment, and then, without removing his
pipe from his lips, he answered, "Wall,
1 hev some idee."
"Explain to lis, please"
Thompson would not bc hurried, but
after some urging he answered, "You've
turned over in bed, think IS likely?"
Certainly"

eyes"
"Wall, that's the way of the tide The
old world slips round inside of the sea
like man under the bedclothes, and
that's what makes the tides. It's easy
enough to see how tits after you under
stand it."-Youth's Companion.
