Theatrical Sharks.

There ara rs many receptions
prncticed in the theatrical profession
ms in any other line of business. Man.
ayers and actors both are constantly
obliged to he on the lookout for tricks
and games Of nll sorts which are
practiccd weekly. There are adven.
turers and ndvcnturesses who probn-
bly, never stepped u foot on the stage
who are roping in young people by
various schemes or other all the
time. In most of these cases the
trick IA to extract money from young
aspirnnts to theatrical fame. The
latest game is one being practiced by
an alleged comedy company in New
York, which is advertising for actors
and actresses to fill out its cast. AS
soon as this "iakc" organization re-
ceivcs an applicant requesting him
or her to forward So for the manu-
script of the play which is to be pro-
duccd, the letter also carefully stat
ing that the amount will be returned
rs soon rs the receiver joins the COM
pany in New York. In many Instances
the money is forwarded, but nothing
is ever seen or heard OF the manu-
script or the cowpany.-Manager in

Remarkable cases of prccocious in.

rather than weakness or early decay.
were John Stuart Mil who read
Greek ut thrcci md Macaulay. who
read necessarily from tho time he was
three years old; but ordinary human
ity is slower and should not be unduly
hastencd. II is found to be undoubt-
cdly the case that progress in learning
is far more rapid in tho great majority
of children when they are left without
any systematic attempt 10 teach them
until the seventh year at least has

more than countcrbalancc any appar-

A few years ago NJ. Felix Plateu. n

A Ring Which Tor,urcs.

A strange custom among the Bay
AMI. who live along the upper Congo,
has been described by explorers
Brass rings, sometimes weighing
thirty pounds. are welded around tho
nccks of tho wives At first tho mock
becomes raw by tho chatting of tho
ring but after awhile it becomes cal
loused although a woman has to hold
the ring up frequently to get relief
from tho weight. The ring is never
put around n woman's neck until shc

The women arc proud of the ornament
