ured as the classic idiom in which the
dialogue is spoken and the ancient and
obsolete ideographs which set forth the
synopsis of the action. Confined tC
yashikiS and inconsistencies, the No was
for the upper classes, who alone could
understand its involved and lofty die
ton and intricate symbolism
The No is a trilogy occupying four OF
five hours of three successive days. The
first set of scenes is to propitiate the
gods; the second to terrify evil spirits
and punish the wicked, and the third tc
glorify the good beautiful and pleasant
The dramatis personae are gods, god
desses, demons, priests, warriors and
heroes of early legend and history, and
much of the action is allegorical.
By long open gallerya at the left the
actors approach the elevated pavilion
or platform of the stage, which is with
out curtain or scenery, and almost with
out properties. The costuming is superb,
many of the rich, century-old brocade
and cloth of gold garments having de-
scended several generations.
The actors enter at gait that out
struts the most exaggerated stage stride
ever seen, the body held rigid as a
statue, and the foot, never wholly lifted,
sliding slowly along the polished floor.
These buckram figures, moving with
the solemnity of condemned men, utter
their lines like automatic, not muscle
nor an eyelash moving, not flicker of
expression changing the countenance.

The Clam and the Wizard.

A clam who had become very much
disguised with his station in life paid a
visit to a well-known wizard who dwelt
near the seashore and said:

favor of You. AS clam | am an object
of ridicule. and the funny man is al
ways cracking jokes on me. | want to
be transposed into bird
The wizard, who had disposed of his
Santa Fe stock before the slump and
therefore felt in good humor, waved his
hand and the clam flew away. He re-
turned in about an hour, however. to
loudly complain:
20, wizard as clam | had to put up
with only ridicule, but as Il buzzard L
am the object of every body's con-

"Well, then" replied the wizard, ''be-

you" and he forthwith gave him shell
and curled him up in sandhill.

Women Know u Lie.

A wise man will not tell his wife any
lies; not even little white ones. If he
must lie, he will be safer and wiser if
he lies to some one less likely to un-
cover his duplicity. A wife is regular
ferret in matter of this kind. 1t is
wonderful what clever intuition women
have in this direction. 1t is dumfound-
ing to men who are not always abso-
lutely truthful. The best of husbands
often feel that there are things they
won't bother wife with"-little COM
plications in their business affairs or
little extravaganza expenditures in the
way of a hotel dinner or some other
little harmless affair Of which they
would just a little rather not speak.
But they'd better tell the truth and the
whole truth. 1t is always best in the
end, as men find out the older they
grow.-The Housewife.

looked up at the high steeplc of the old

costing him anything.

he will give me the work that is to be
done on the stecple.''

piled that it made no difference to him

worn out farm. land, the first thing to be
done is to thoroughly terrace the land, in
order that there will be no waste from
washing. The terraces must be made
strong and on a level. When so made
they will not be any trouble after the
second year; then prepare and fertilize
as above. Deep plowiug in the prepa-
ration of land is ESSENTIAL. After the
plant is up, of course the shallower the
cultivation the better. About the 2Cth
of July the cotton should all be topped,
as that makes it mature earlier and often
saves much damage from the caterpillar.
Most people wait too late to top their
cotton and consequently fail to get the
real benefit from the operation.
"The salvation of this country rests on
the intensive system of farming, small
acreage, high fertilization, and thorough
and rapid working of the crop means
profit to the farmer, whereas the old sys-
tenn means a continued struggle and a
miserable hand to-mouth existence.
The one system brings contentment and
happiness, the other only trial, hardship
and discontent."

A Keen Ret0rt.

There is a Unitarian clergyman who is
not without power of keen retort, and
who is none the less gifted with the grace
to command his tongue, rather than to
allow his tongue to command him. He
has in his congregation, saya the Courier,
one of those women who make pretence
of frankness an excuse for rudeness, and
who are given to boasting that they are
plain-spoken. when the truth is that they
are simply iIl.bred and inaolent. This
especial lady is weslthy, and there are
not many in the list Of her acquaintance
who dare rebuke her, albeit they do
together console each other for the
wounds they suffer from her tongue by
abusing her rouudly.
1t chanced that one evening the lady
and the Clergyman were partners at
whist at the house Of common friend,
and so successful were they that they wen
almost every game fer the evening. Like
people who are fond Of having their own
way, the lady was in high good humor
over this success, and when the play was
over she pushed back her chair from the
table with the characteristic and graceful
remark to her partner:
"You { play good game Of whist,
Dir. Blank; you only prea ched as we'll
as you play whist, it would be treat to
&c to church to hear you"
The clergyman was quite equal to the
occasion. he kept his temper and his
face under perfect control as he replied !:
"rhsnk you, Miss Sharp; but you
know anybody can learn to play whist,
while genius and gcod.breeding come by
the grace of God.
