Not wholly Complimentary.

A certain Mrs. Malaprop, who lives in
a large eastern city, is noted for her
skill in unconsciously embarrassing 9th
er people, while she herself remains per-
fectly at ease. Not long ago she was in
troduced to two sisters, young ladies
who had long been known to her by
name, though she had never met them.
''Now, my dears," she said, addressing
them collectively, with her usual bland
smile, and regarding them earnestly
through her glasses, II have often heard
of the bright and the handsome Miss
Radcliffe. Now l lam SO glad to meet you
both, and want you to tell me at once
which of you is the bright and which the
handsome one."
On another occasion she was dining
with her nephew and his young wife,
who had just set up housekeeping. The
dinner did not go off quite SO smoothly
as the young couple had hoped. and the
cooking was by no means perfect. The
hostess unwisely began TO murmur apol-
ogies and her husband joined in, half
laughing, with references to lis wife's
youth and inexperience.
Don't say another word, my dear
children" interrupted their kind hearted
guest. 81 can assure you I've eaten a
great deal worse dinners than this in the
course of my life; great deal worse.
Yes" she added meditatively, 'Fve eaten
some pretty bad dinners, you may be

ileges, and with their man Burnham
they want to run the entire thing.
They want it to be Chicago outfit,
but they want the rest OF the world to
put up for it. They figure up that Chi
cago will be the gamer by from
1000, 900 to $3.50, 900 900, but are
unwilling to put up one tbirtieth OF that
sum. Really, after all their big talk,
they cannot raise all of the $4,000, 200
they have subscribed. Worse than this,
they have thrown all the obstacles pos
sible in the way of the national com
mission and the director general, and
they now refuse to print regulations
and many other things needed by the
different departments. Every trivial
thing needed has to go before this big
board of little men-who only meet
once month-whose only aim seems to
be to paralyze the efforts Of the national
officers. 1t is no infrequens thing to
hear those who year ago. were the
most enthusiastic over the fair declare
now that they believe it will never ma
terialize. Indeed, many Of the news
papers are becoming alarmed at the au-
tocratit stupidity OF the Chicago board,
and in their editorials aud interviews
make this known in no uncertain way.
Most all of the leading papers this
morning have articles which put the
president oi the board of dire tors in
an untavorabe light. 1t is just as we'll,
think, that, until this question Of au-
thoiity and the raising OF money is
settled. Calfolnians shouid make

Paper from Wood Pulp.

Comparatively little paper is made out
Of rags nowadays exclusively, fact
which is fortunate, as the quantity Of
paper now used is SO great that there
would not be enough worn out clothing
or shoddy to supply the demand. The
strangeness of it is that while paper is
being used for dozens of purposes former
ly monopolized by wood or even harder
material, such as car wheels, boxes, bar
rels, tubs. pals and SO forth, wood is rap
idly driving other ingredients to the wall
in the manufacture of nearly all the
cheaper grades of paper.
Wood pulp is made by comparatively
lengthy process, but by taking the mills
to river banks where there is raw ma
terial and water power at hand, it can
be produced at less than half the price
formerly charged. New York Telegram.

Dancing for a Footinr.

A mild way of hazing uninitiated schol-
ars has been in vogue for long time at
the Eclectic Medical college. Every new
man is required to get up before the
whole school and give little jig before
he will be recognized as fit person to
associate with, If he refuses at first to
give the jig he is not in it with the boys,
who slight him on every possible occa-
sion and make him the butt of their
jokes. Some very dignifed scholars
found it terribly hard to get through the
little ordeal, but experience taught them
to succumb, and there is not one of them
who has not ratified his feet in accordance
with the unwritten rule of the institu-
ton. Of course this is a matter which
does not come under the jurisdiction of
the faculty.-Cincinnati Enquirer.

THEATRIcALs IN LONDON.
My London correspondent informs me
that Christmas entertainments still
hold sway in England. The British
pantomime is style of amusement that
is scarcely understood in this country.
1t is true we have pantomimes here
with clown, pantaloons, harlequin and
columbine, but we have never taken
kindly to the entertainment. 1t is not
an institution as in England, where at
the majority OF the theaters one-half OF
the year is devoted to making prepara-
tions for the Christmas pantomime.
which runs sometimes for three or four
months. Children think they have been
badly used if they are not taken to
pantomime at Christmas time, and the
little ones of the poorest, in come way
or other, manage to get this annual
treat.
Sir Augustus Harris, who only recent
lv added the prefix ''sir'' to his name,
has at Drury Lane theater eclipsed his
former productions in the way of a
Spanish grandee, and is entitled
Humpty Dumpty; or, The Yellow
Dwarf and the Fair One with the Golden
Locks. There are pageants, professions
and balleis which dazzle the vision OF
the thousands who flock to see the
piece. The lavish display. the coloring,
the beauty of the materials used, and
the brilliant and gorgeous effects pro-
duced have never been surpassed on the
English stage.
Sir Augustus Harris, who is brother
of Charles Harris who staged Gilbert q
Sullivan's Patience in New York, is said
to be financially embarrassed, and has
great hope that this pantomime will
enable him to retrieve himself.
NOT MUCH OF A PLAY.
At the London Vaudeville theater,
which is what the Lyceum theater is to
New York. Mr.. Chambers new play,
The Honorable Herbert, is running to
fair audiences. 1t is delicate and re-
fined work, but it is not likely to be a
success in this country, when produced
at the Lyceum in this city. The story is
thin and weak. 1t is simple and
stretched to an almost dangerous degree
of thinness, in order to spread it over
four acts.
Mr.. Chambers will be remembered as
the author of The Idler, which was
produced in this country, but did not
long hold the stage.
j. L. Toole, who was another failure
here some years ago, but who is wor-
SHIPPED by Englishmen, is playing a
piece in London, by Mr.. and Mrs. H.
Merivale, called The Don. 1t deals with
university life and magnates. From an
American point OF view 1t is gloomy
play, as is Mr.. Tooe's humor.
The great event of the London theat-
rical season is undoubtedly the magni-
fcent revival Of Henry WILL, by Irving,
at the Lyceum. Irving plays Cardinal
Wolsey with great art, subtlety and re-
finement. William Terriss, whose work
is familir to'Americans, is only an indif.
ferent King Henry. Ellen Terry is all
that is to be desired as Queen Kathe-
rine.
The Dancing Girl. which has only
been moderate success in London, has
been withdraw from the Haymarket, in
order to make way for Hamlet.

GEATlrNG TINE.
TRAVELLER.

when the Bason Was First Used 1t Was
Formidable Six Foot Club.
Investigations into the origin of the
baton, or stick for beating time, which
is used nowadays by the conductor of
every large orchestra, have brought out
the interesting fact that the first conduc-
tors baton was formidable staff, about
six feet long, which the old time French
musician, Lully by name, who invented
1t. may have used as much to intimidate
the members of his orchestra as to mark
the time In the very oldest orchestras,
rs in Chinese orchestras of the present
day, there was no conductor in the
modern sense. Every performer played
as well as he could, and the man who
played upon the loudest instrumental
kettle drum, for instance-marked the
time for the rest.
When music became more systematic
and refined, the chief command of the
orchestra was given to the member who
was regarded as the most accomplished
and skillfuI. He assigned the other mem
bers their parts, drilled them at re-
hearsals and supervised the final per-
for1nance.
To produce a good effect it was neces-
sary of course that the musicians
should play in time, and the chief of the
orchestra, who himself played one in
strument, was accustomed to mark the
beat by stamping on the floor with one
foot. For this reason the conductor of
ran orchestra was at that period called
the pedarius
! Afterward it became customary for
him to give the time by clapping the
fingers of his right hand against the hol-
low of his left. The beater of time after
this fashion was called the manuductor.
Meantime experiments were made in
marking the time by striking together
shells and bones. The bones were soon
given up as instruments tc be used by
the conductor of an orchestra; but they
survived as an independent instrument.
Boys and negro minstrels ''play on the
bones" with great gusto to this day.
In the early part of the Seventeenth
century the musician already alluded to,
Lully by name, arose. He found all
these instruments Of leadership ineffec-
tive, and in order to reduce his perform
ers to complete subsection, he procured
a stout staff six feet long, with which he
pounded vigorously on the floor to mark
the time.
One day, becoming particularly impa-
tient, and pounding with especial vigor,
Lully struck his foot instead of the floor
with his baton. The wound gangrened,
and Lully died from its effects in 1857.
The baton continued in use through
out the Seventeenth and Eighteenth
centuries, but though it gradually de-
creased in size, there is no evidence that
conductors marked the time in any other
way than by pounding upon their music
stands or some other hard object.
All this pounding must have had an
unpleasant effect upon the music, and
critics and musicians began to ridicule
the practice. In course of time, there
fore, we find musical conductors no
longer humping upon the floor or their
music stands, but beating the time en-
tirely in the air. 1t seems to have taken
players very long time to learn that
they could get the time as easily by
means of the eye as by means of the ear.

Criticism for the Ragle.

Why cannot some able designer get up
a representation of the eagle that looks
something like that glorious bird? The
spread wing idea is unnatural and alb
surd. 1t is only because of its antiquity
that it is tolerated. An eagle that would
spread its wings and legs in an attempt
to symbolic peace and war deserves to
be shot A fine design of an American
eagle at rest, perched on crag or limb
of tree, would not be bad one for our
silver oins.-Cincinnati Commercial
