Booths Best character.

1t was in high priced restaurant
They were discussing the characters il
which Booth had been most successful
and the young man with blond mus,
tache was satisfied that Hamlet was by
far his best part.
"If you ever saw him in that part
when he was at his BEST" he said, ssyou
wouldn't dispute the assertion for mo
ment."
s.Saw himr exclaimed the man with
the dark beard scornfully. i've seen
him in about everything he ever played.
Why, his Hamlet was poor compared
with some Of his other characters. His
Cthello was better than his Hamlet, and
his Macbeth

with the blond mustache. '.Why, that
wasn't up to Romeo, and that's saying O
good deal. His Shylock was better thar
his Otheilo.'
Every one in earshot was interested by
this time, but just as the man with the
dark beard was beginning a scathine
retort with some side remarks about the
"Fool's Revenge" the little fellow with
the single eyeglass reused himself and
said:

Early Meth ods Of Curing skins.

The original process Of curing skins
was probably the simple one of cleaning
and drying them. Removal Of the hair
by maceration in water seems to have
been common among the very early
tribes, and one writer has suggested
that the idea was obtained from the
natural process Of depilation. They
must certainly have been familiar with
it in the case of drowned animals, where
maceration can be plainly observed.
Following this, smoke, sour milk, oil,
and the brains of the animals themselves
were found eficacious. Many Of these
primitive methods are employed at the
present time, thus bringing into novel
conjunction the days of the rowing Mas
saget@ and those of the thrifty Ameri-
can.-George A. Fitch in Popular Science
Monthly.

Swiss Nobility.

A few years ago the question was
asked, :" Does nobility still exist in
Switzerland" And no one was able to
answer it. Of all the thousand of Eng
lish folk who haunt the Swiss hotels il,
summer not one; it would seem, had
inquired whether that Rudolph Won
Erlach, whose equestrian statue they
must have seen, has any living descen-
dants; not one had ever heard of the
Barnese nobility noblesse which holds
itself SO high that 1t thinks but slightly
of the British legation. Yet from the
Jura to the Lugano there is hardly a
canton-there is perhaps no canton
i in which noble families are not to be
found
Some of these, such as the Plantas
and the Buols of the Grabunden, have
turned their energy into modern chan
nels and make their fortunes, like the
Hausers or the Sellers, out of the Eng
lish and tie American tourists. Others,
like the Won Allinel, have sunk into a
humber rank. But the greater part re-
main in stain GEo, still enjoying in the

Polite Photographers.


The knack which French photogra-

possess in relieving their sitters of a
constrained and distressed look while
sitting for their portraits has long been

took pains to study the means by which
this very desirable result was reached

times be done with them. A vizier. hav-

How the Continents. Attract Seas.

The effect of gravitation in heaping up
tho sea waters upon the shores of conti-
nents is one of the most interesting, as
well as the most curious and least con-
sidered, facts in connection with old
oceans history. Thus the continents
are all situated at tops of great hills or
mountains of water, and to cross the At
lantic or any other ocean the ship has
to first go down the sloping sheet, cross
the valley and then climb the noun
tain of water ON the other side before it
safely reaches harbor.
In this connection the interesting cal
culatien has been made that in mid
ocean on the Atlantic the depression is
about three-fourths of mile below the
level of the water at coast line, while a
ship in travelling from San Francisco to
Yokohama, Japan, must cross valley
at least a mile in depth.-St. Louis Re-

ROYAL Flute PLAYER.

Frederick the Great made generous
presents to all musicians except flute
players. He played the flute remarka-
bly, well himself, and his proficiency
sometimes led to acts that caused dis
appointment to his brother artists. A
famous futist once visited Potsdam
and asked permission to play to the king,
hoping that Frederick would show his
appreciation of his skill by some valua-
BILE gift.
Frederick received him graciously,
and listened attentiyely while he played
difficult piece.
"You play very WELL" he said. land
I am very glad to have heard a virtuoso
of such ability. will give You proof
of my satisfaction"
So saying he left the room. The mu-
sician waited, guessing at the probable
nature of the ''proof.'
Presently the king returned with his
own flute and played the same piece
which had just been executed for him.
Then he bade his visitor good day. say

Duel of Two Girls.

At Charkof, Russia, two girls who
were friends fell in love with the same
young man. He was slow to make his
selection between them. They agreed
that either could win him if delivered Of

They decided upon a duel by drawing
lots. On the day following one of the
