THE OLD HOMESTEAD"
When You Visit Philadelphia
Witness the Play.

WlLn0SS Inc Elhys
Amid all the changes and fluctuations 10
which our stage has been subjected, there
has obtained q strong demand for purely
American drams-s play which should
truthfully illustrate type of our human
ity. This demand is answered in THE
Old Homestead" which Denman Thomp-
son and his original company are now
playing at the Chestnut Street Opera
house, Philsdelphia, and which Is pro
duction so complete in its naturRlness that
it seems 10 be not play, but actual bits oi
Yankee flesh and blood pucked from down
East and spread before us for our delecta-
ton and benefit. Denman Thompson
himself is unquestionably the truest
| delineator of Yankee character the stage
has bad. He does not act-he is, The
| Old Homestead. 10 truthful of illustration
and so pure and kindly If motive, may be
accepted as altogether the best American
play yet produced,
Many Of US are unable to get back to
| the home, the people and the scenes OF ouT
youth, but none of us ever loses his love
and veneration for the dear scenes and the
| kindly .pirits about which the tendrills OF
memory cling so tenderly. In Unete
| Joshua Whitcomb we recognize an old
friend; we knew him in happy youth. de
was OF Joshua Whitcontb in the old day
but he was then the same lovabe chsrac-
ter he is to-day, his heart as tenoer, his
charity as universal, his bumor as quaint
and his pathos as tender, and we feel CRATE
ful to the actor who brings these precious
memories before us We laugh, for 1t II
fun to be boy and girls again, but we cry
too, for in all we see and hear there is 81
much of suggestion-tender, beautiful sug
gestion. We see more than our eyes be
hold and we hear more than that whicf
falls upon our esrs-faces that are dust NJ W
voices that were hushed forever long ag
There are the sights and sounds recallet
BIZ the magic of "The Old Homestead
No one can miss seeing this most mora
play.

Made snoons First.

Bennett Jeralds, of Yalesville, Conn,
asserts that William Mix was the first
spoon manufacturer of the United
States. William Mix's father was a
blacksmith, and his sons all learned that
trade. William lived On North Farm
and built the large white house how
known as the Joel HOugh place.
In those times men travelled as thinkers
that is, they mended anything and ev-
erything. Sometimes these men were
foreigners, and some Of them were
skilled in the arts.
One came to William Mix's house one
day and said he was tired and finan-
ciaIly embarrassed In his kit he had Il
rude spoon mold. 1t appealed to the
fancy of Mr.. Nix and he purchased it of
the tinker, and at his forge with ladle
and some lead Mr.. Mix made the first
spoons manufactured in this country.
Mr.. Mix scraped and hand FURNISHED
the spoons and went to New York
where he sold them. His business grew,
and he sold his farm and went to Wood
bridge, where he procured water power,
and there originated the buI1ing process.
This improved the spoons and gave them
a better finish.
Mr.. Jeralds says that about that time
the Curtisses, of MeIiden, manufactured
what was then known az the scraped
and FURNISHED spoon, and that Samuel
and Edward Curtiss made a fortune in
the business, but Mr.. Mix's buf1ing proc
ess spoiled the reputation of hand fin
ished spoons.
Mr.. Jeralds asserts that while in MIR.
Mix's employ young Robert Wallace
first saw German silver, and that Mr..
Wallace was then only eighteen years
old.-Jewelers' Weekly.

When Seward Was Little Known.

William H. Seward used to tell a
story that seemed to give him great joy
to repeat. When he was member OF
the state senate the first time he re-
ceived a message from one of the most
distinguished politicians in New York
asking for an interview. Mr.. Seward
felt pleased to be hOnored thus, and
arraying himself in his Sunday clothes,
which consisted of a blue broadcloth
coat, cut swallow tail fashion, light col,
ored trousers strapped over the CATERS,
a very high dickcy collar and stiff stock
and a bell crowned beaver hat, he went
to call on the distinguished man. He
was received IL the parlor, and the poll
tician, while courteous, was cold and
distant, treating him with the utmost
forrality Mr.. Seward said, q thought
perhaps You had some special business
with me-"
mo. sir; | 90 not think of any-in
fact, supposed you were paying me a
call of mere respect"
''But 1 received a message from you. F"
81 do not remember to have sent one.
[ am expecting this afternoon a visit
from Senator Seward. Maybe my re-
quest mas HllscatII6u. Cuu hot SdCCA
your name"
why, am Senator Seward, gen
eral."
The politician arose from his seat,
went toward Seward, put his hands on
his shoulders and said: "Well. senator,
you will pardon ne, know. supposed
you were young heau who had called
with q lurking desire to meet my dauGh-
ter. Let Inc apologize by saying that
you have indeed an old head on young
shoulders.
Then he abandoned his formal man
ner, and an intimacy was begun which
lasted for years.-New York Sun.

Cir George In a Peck of Trouble.

"For goodness sake, come in and take
a share of our domestic troubles" ex-
claimed Sir George Dibbs, premier of
the colony of New South Wales, as he
sat i'll a large armchair, surrounded by
a mountain of baggage, buffalo horns
and curiosities picked up by the way.
"Man is born to trouble, as the sparks
fv upward. Last night we clambcred
over several freight trains on voyage
of discovery searching for orr train. AT
5 o'clock this morning we had collision
at Sacramento with a freight train.
Both engines were knocked out of run
ming and we were delayed two hours.
No, no one was seriously hurt, but we
were bumped about, and my arms are
sore.
"Your railroad management is abom-
Unable, and am surprised at business
nation permitting it. Look at the num-
bers of Americans who go over to Eu-
rope to spend their millions in European
travel. Not only do you discourage
Europeans from visiting your country,
but you drive out your own wealthy
classes. You lose lots of money that
way. This policy of every ono for him
self and the devil take the hindmost in
railroad travelling loses you good many
million dollars"
At this moment Sir Georges valet an
nounced the loss of three trunks, includ
ing his own.
"Well, I'm glad you've lost your box
George; it will interest you more in the
pursuit of ours. What's that? Twenty
five per cent. extra to get our linen
washed by tomorrow morningl Pay it
George; don't argue; pay out all we
have; we must get home. San Fran

lance from the cave to the end OF the
narrow pathway without anything to
alarm him, though at each furtlve
glance he saw the changeless shadow,
when the sound of footsteps reached
his ears.
A moment later mans form came
around the edge of the cliff, and then a
second and third.
With a low cry he turned to retrace
his course to the cavern, knowing that
once there he could defend himself
against a dozen, but in his excitement
he missed his foothold and, clutching in
vain upon the ledge, he went besdlong
down its jagged side upon the rocks be-
low.
A piercing cry that rang far and clear
on the night air, sullen splash in the
water and deathlike silence followed.
The newcomers proved to be some of
his own confederates, who, anxious at
his nonappearance, had come in search
of him.
The smugglers were about to descend
to the side of their unfortunate leader
when they saw for the first time the
shadow of the cliff.
w 1UQOuO stopping W EOANO OAO ny
terry they beat a hasty retreat to their
( homes.
The next day 1t was found that the
supposed shadow was the painted figure
of a man, and, strange enough, Burk
Brandon's idiotic son had done the
work. He had come to the place In a
boat, and, having singular aptness in
this respect, had performed his self i'm
posed task with remarkable faithfulness
to nature. In the glimmer of the moon
light his fathers mistake was not IN
natural, though it had cost him his life.
With the death of their chief the SNUG
glers no longer continued their nefari.
GUS business, so that Witless Jack had
unconsciously rendered an inestimable
service. That was several years since
and though the figure has faded from
the rock, the place is known as the
Smuggler's Shadow.-George Waldo
Browne in Yankee Blade.

An instance of this rare and beautiful
phenomenon, known as a sun pillar, was
seen by Miss Annie Lea, of Lutterworth,
on the 5th of March, 1899, just as the
sun was sinking behind thick layer of
stratus cloud. A bank of ''dust haze"
formed a background to the clouds.
When the appearance was first seen
about three-fourths of the solar disk was
below the edge of the cloud bank. From
the upper part of the disk rose vertical
column of light, resembling an inverted
obelisk, the tip resting on the rim of the
sun.
The column was about 8 dogs. high,
and its upper end was lost in the clouds.
1t was orange red in color below and
yellowish white above. The display
lasted for some minutes after the sun
sank, but gradually faded away. The
pillar is sometimes seen in the morning
above the rising sun, and occasionally
the conical end is uppermost. The phe-
nomenon has never been satisfactorily
explained. It has been suggested that
its resemblance to an Egyptian obelisk
may be other than accidental. The city
of On, or Heliopolis, where these obelisks
were so numerous, was devoted to the
worship Of the SUM- London Tit-Btss.

Inconvenience Of Growing Old.

am sure do not know why it is. l
am not more i'll looking than many a
married woman whom one sees playing
a conspicuous part in society, and l am
a very harmless, unaggressive sort of
person that would not hurt a mouse,
much less a man, yet every spawned old
stager of my acquaintance will shy at
the sight of me as if l had nothing in
the world to do but run down defense
less old roadsters for the matrimonial
sweepstakes. 1t is really melancholy to
see how suddenly the manners Of my old
friends change toward me if they happen
to be left widowers. There is old DR..
Witherspu2n, for example, who used to
make tedious little jokes before Mrs. w.
died about taking me for his second
wife, and now he shuns me as if l were
pay day. Even old Mr.. Rail, the red
headed lawyer, whom l refused twenty
years ago, and whom my poor friend,
Clara H., married only as last resort
to keep from going out as gOverness, Is
so fully persuaded of my desire to recon
slider that he flies at the sight of me as
if struck by a cyclone.-A Lady of I'm

DREAM FACES.

SbodoUv Countenances That Pass Before
People Even When Wide Awake.
1t may be serviceable to remark that
visions sometimes present themselves to
us in the dark when we are awake, per-
fectly sane, unaware Of any sort of
physical disturbance and without any
effort of the imagination. They are
dream stuff, so to speak, and the pre-
cursors of the dreams that fill our minds
when quite asleep. In this way lady
used to see showers of red roses, which
turned into a fight of golden speckles or
spangles; and not only were the roses
presented TO her vision as distinctly as
real flowers III broad daylight might be,
but she could smell their perfume.
There is nothing like that in my OK
perience, except that at infrequent times
of fatigue share the sensations OF those
who are said to have discovered rose
scent flowing from and about them.
An evanescent but very distinct violet
scent flushes from my hands, or so
fancy. But NM. Maury and Cation
relate stories Of faces seen in the dark
in like manner-faces seemingly stand
ing off upon the air and coming and
going, as if with will and pun pose Of
their own. NJ. Maury's experience
this particular. In his case these phan-
toms nearly always represented persons
known to him.
In mine it has never been so on sim
gle occasion, and the difference is a
noticeable one. AS l look at these faces,
asking myself who was like that or that,
! find no answer except in fancied re-
semblance to some historical or myth
illogical parsonage. They strike the
view as entirely strange and surpris-
ingly Original" Possibly Blake's Wis
ions were some such faces as these, pre-
scented to his eyes in broad daylight.
l am inclined to think so, because his
wonderful, dreadful drawing, The
Ghost of a Flea" is precisely such
transcript as l could have made by the
score had possessed his pictorial ski |.
Under my own eyelids 1 have seen
many face of the same awful family
some even more dreadful still, being all
astir with animation. But the greater
number of them are not of the too terri
BILE kind. After the fact that nothing
foreknown or familiar ever appears
among them, the next most remarkable
thing about these visions is that they
often look like the fleeing embodiment
Of some passion or mood of the mind
usually not the bettermost. Some faces
expressive of great nobility and seren
ity appear, but l have never seen among
them the mask of pity, of love or any
soft emotion. Grief the most despairing
scorn, cunning, pride, hate, inquiry, en-
vious or triumphant mockery-no hu
man face that ever was seen, / fee
sure, displayed these emotions with 8
comparable fullness and intensity.
1t is not the characteristic of all, but
| it is of some to an almost appalling ex
text; and if Blake did see these faces
either in daylight or in darkness, he
had more than his imagination to draw
upon when he depicted the PASSIONS
