after Dark -"

VIM. A.. Brady's production OF Dion
Boucicault's melodramatic masterpiece
After Dark Will be the offering at Ming's
Friday and Saturday of this week. The
play is a picturesque drama of life in Lon
don and aims to present the characteristics
of the metropolis as they actually exist.
Stories of real life when adequately pro
scented always have q certain interest which
is intensified when the production is more
than ordinarily complete, and thisi ID what
is promised for after Dark" There il an
absorbing story running through the
play, and of course q hero
and heroine and the conventional
villain. The hero, however, is somewhat
of a novel character. The usual atage hero
is young and handsome (alleged to be) and
ultra melodramatic. The hero in AFTER
Dark is an old unfortunate, known az
Tom, who suffers and endures much. but ia
successful in accomplishing many things.
He rescues the heroine from a river of real
water and saves the juvenile man from a
terrible death by railroad acclueut; and in
other ways demonstrates his rights to the
title of one of natures noblemen. One of
the great scenes of the play is an exact
representation Of a London music hail,
which is used as a vehicle for the introduc-
ton of n host of vaudeville artists, which
are headed by the great sketch artists. Nc

Sir Morell Mackenzie, who was special
ist in throat troubles, always insisted that
a great many of the ailments that were
brought under his notice could have been
escaped but for injudicious coddling of the
throat. The throat must not be wrapped
up too much; the great thing is to try to
harden it By care and persistence the
neck can be made as waterproof as the face.
Many people who are not in the secret are
amazed that the patriarchal Gladstone can
stand for hours with head uncovered in the
open air while strong breeze is blowing.
The ability to do this with impunity wa,
gained by sitting habituallJ at a window
through which draught was created, so
that the head became accustomed to all
variations of temperature and all degrees Of
air motion. In the same way the throat
can become habituated to varying condi-
tions. 1t should be kept free from wrap
pings Women should dispense with their
great feather boas and Medici collars, and
men should cast aside their sitting mufhers.
1t is an excellent practice to wear turn
down collars, and gargling with cold salt
and water in the morning has sovereign
virtue, as well as bathing the throat first
with very hot water, and then with very
cold The throat thus gets the effect Of
sudden shock, and is braced up and perma-
nently strengthened.

HOW THE NATIONS LAUGH.
The Joke as Received by the Mongol, tn
Arab fba l,hrisfia.a and nIol,a adar

The Joke as Received by the Mongol, the
Arab, the Christian and Mohammedan.
All the world laughs, though the nations
have different ways of showing mirth. The
Chinese laugh as hearty or as expressive as
the European or American. 1t is oftener a
litter than a genuine outburst of merri-
ment There is little character or force in
it. AS for the Arabian laugh, we hear little
of its hilarious ring through the ages of
mirth in the Old World. The Arab is gen.
orally stolid fellow, who must either see
good reason for a laugh, or be surprised
into it. In Persia man who laughs is con-
isidered effeminate, but free license is given
to female merriment
One reads of the "grave Turk" and the
''sober Egyptian" but it is not recorded
that they have never moments of mirth,
when the fez bobs of the veil shakes under
the pressure of some particularly good
thing" In Mahonet himself, Christian
writers have noted cordiality and jocose-
ness, and they say there is good ringing
laugh in the prophet with all his seriousness
An American traveller in Europe remarks
the Italian laugh as lancuid but musical,
the German a, deliberate, the French as
spasmodic and uncertain, the upper class
EnglishNa as guarded and not always genuine,
the lower class English as explosive, the
Scotch of all classes as hearty, and the Irish
as rollicking

A FISH THAT LIVES IN MUD,
When the Water Gets Low It Rolls Itself in
Ball and Waits.

b8ll ana w Ats
Pearson's Weekly.l
There is no more remarkable creature
than the mud fish, which inhabits certain
of the rivers of Western Africa, and, as its
name implies, Turks at the muddy bottoms
of these rivers. At first sight there is
nothing especially striking about this ami
NAL; it looks very much like an ordinary
fish except for its curious, long, slender
fms. A visitor who knew nothing about
the creature would probably 60 away with
the impression that he had seen nothing out
of the common. When the fishes arrive at
zoo each one is encased in ball of dried
mud, lined with mucus from its body, and
perforated with small aperture to admit
OF breathing. The COCOON" as it is some
times called, on account of its analogy to
the earthen case fabricated by many cater
pillars in which to undergo their metam or
phoses, on being placed in warmish water
is dissolved and the fish liberated.
The habit which the mudfsh has of max
ing an earthen chamber of the mud at the
bottom of the river, is a most wonderful
provision of nature tor the e1igencies of the
climate. The rivers which the fish inhabit
are liable to periodical droughts. When
such drought is imminent, the fish retlres
to deep water and excayates pit, in which
it lies, covering itself over with a thick
layer of mud. 1t can suffer with impunity
the complete drying up of the river. But
the most interesting fact about the creature
is, that during the time of its voluntary i'm
prisonment, it breathes air directly through
an aperture left in the cocoon, by means of
lungs, like land animal. When the rains
dissolve the mud and liberates the fish, it
breathes by means Of gills, just like any
other fish.

SOME NEW APPLICATIONS OF SCIENCE

twRrrTEN FOR THE prsPATcH.1
Notwithstanding the almost universal
growth of the tabacco habit, there are some
who still regard it as one of the most vicious
and injurious of indulgences There is no
doubt that it is but too often carried to ex-
cess, and the use of tobacco by children Of
tender years may work irreyocable mischief.
However, the weed may be abused, its
effects when judiciously used have been
proved by overwhelming scientific testi-
mony to add materially to the welfare of the
human race.
The London Lancet has given the results
of some experiments to test the influence Of
tobacco in the prevention of disease trans
mission by baeilli. Il is found that smoking
is highly beneficial in preventing the decay
of teeth. Women suffer more from dental
carries than men, and few women smoke.
Some of the earliest experiments In this
field were made by an American dentist in
1884 The micro-germs OF dental carries
when passed through the smoke of tobacco
were rendered innocuous Fouryea later,
physician in Naples lined small balloon
with a layer of gelatine containing cholera
bacilli. When the smoke of from one to
cigars-the number of cigars required de-
pending on their strength in nicotine-was
drawn through this balloon, the gelatins
was completely sterilized.
These and other experiments have now
been repeated by Dr. V. Tassinari in Rome,
and the result is to establish the fact that
the smoke of tobacco either entirely de-
stroys, or retards the development of the
bacillus OF cholera, of anthrax, and of pneu-
monia The bacillus of Asiatic cholera and
that of pneumonia was in every case COM
pletely destroyed, no matter what sort Of
tobacco was used. The bacillus of anthrax
showed stronger powers of resistance, and
that of typhoid was hardly affected BY the
smoke. The only question now remaining
to be proved is whether the sterilizing of
microbes can be effected in the human being
with the same certainty as in nutritivs
gelatine.

interrupted by some huge sea which would
sweep him off to leeward, whereupon he
would coolly swim back and resume his seat
and profanity simultaneously.
During the sorall the whales had disap-
peared, and when we finally reached the
ship it was blowing so hard that we had to
double reef our topsails and finally heave
to. The gale increased in violence until it
blew a perfect hurricane, and Tor four days
and nights we were at the mercy OF the ele-
ments
I The Triton was built of solid material and
was originally intended for the Arctic whal-
ing ground. Although ugly to look at and
dull sailor. she was an excellent sea boat
The seas were the largest 1 ever saw in my
long experience, but we rode out the gale
with trffing damage. After cruising un-
successfully for whales for some time, we
laid our course again for Faval. where we
were to ship men and fresh provisions.
On September 20 we met the bark At
lantic of New Bedford and CANNED her.
7 cannot give my readers the origin of this
word, but it means to visit each other, ex-
change reading matter, swap jackknives,
sing, dance, and tell improbable stories Of
our adventures The Captain takes a boat g
crew and goes on board the other vessel,
while the mate of that ship takes a crew of
his men and the same boat and goes to the
frst-named craft. Then the two ships Jog
along near each other, sometimes for two or
three days, until the Captains get tired OF
each other, or feel that they have no more
time to spare.
The crew of the Atlantic had seen whales
the day before, and when we parted it was
in the hope that we might soon ''strike oil. %
Our first mate, who was full of supersti-
tious notions, made us grease the ''try
potts. as the huge boilers are called where
the oil is boiled out, in hopes that it would
bring us luck. Whether there was any
virtue in this performance or not, certain it
is that the next Sunday we killed three
small whales which made 46 barrels. As
we were short-handed the Captains boat
did not lower and am unable to give the
details, which,, However, were dull and un-
At last, on November 20, we sighted
Faval, and beat up between the islands, in
tending to ship our oil home. The Captain s
boat was lowered and L took my place with
the rest, and pulled him to the rude stone
pier, which is the only means of landing.
We were not allowed to get out, but told to
return to the ship at once, leaving Captain
Keys on shore. -Four days we laid "off and
on" rather than anchor, and in the mean
time we shipped several natives and one
"beach-comber," or runaway sailor, an
1rishman, and native of New Jersey, and
without any exception the most unblushing,
monumental liar with whom 1 have ever
been associated. But more of him anon.

have killed him had not some of us dis
armed him. This cured me of practical
jokes for long time to come.
After leaving Faval We headed for Cape
de Verd Islands, and on December we
were in the trade winds. An immense
school of blackfsh was sighted, and we
killed Is. 1t was tame work for the old
hands, but we greenhorns enjoyed it i'm
mensely. The oil is used to burn in the
ships lamps. 1t is dirty oil, with vile
stencil, but good enough tor a whaler to
have One would naturally suppose we
could burn the best of sperm oil, but on the
same principle that shoemaker wears rag
ged shoes, SO whaler burns the poorest
oil
Having reached the port of Brava in the
Cape de Verdes, we shipped new boat
steerer, two sailors, and a boy. We also
took on board potatoes, oranges, bananas,
melons, and other fruit, also two pigs.
On December 81 we raised large school
of sperm whales and gave chase, but our un-
lucky star seemed to be in the ascendancy,

An ARTISTS MODEL ON HORSE
Secret OF tho Accuracy OF tho Equestrian
Statue of Peter the Great

Secret OF tho Accuracy OF tho Equestrian
Statue of Peter the Great
Pearson's Weekly.l
Respecting the colossal statue Of Peter
the Great at st. Petersburg, it is related
that, as soon as the artist had formed his
conception of the design, he communicated
it to the Empress Catharine, at the same
time pointing out the impossibility of
naturally representing so striking position
of man and animal without having before
his eyes horse and rider in the attitude she
had devised.
General Melissino, an officer having the
reputation of being the most expert, as we'll
as the boldest, rider of the day. to whom
the difficulties of the artist were made
known, offered to ride daily one OF Count
Alexis Orloff's best Arabans to the summit
OF steep artificial mound formed for the
purpose, accustoming the'horse to gallop up
to it, and to halt suddenly, with its forelegs
raised, paving the air over the brink OF a
precipice.
This dangerous experiment was carried
into effect by the General for some days, in
the presence of several spectators and Of
the artist, who sketched the various move
ments and parts of the group from day to
day, and was thus enabled to produce, per-
haps, the finest, certainly the most correct,
statue of the Kind in Europe

jumping. Some of these days he will get
slapped in the face bv the dangling ropes of
a bridge guard; he will get mad and yank
off or tie up half dozen of them so as to
clear his track. Then, the next dark night
he comes laundering along there, he will
hear the engine squeal for brakes, he will
climb up on top of a cotton car and knock
his brains out against that very bridge.
Then all the newspapers will go for the
company on account of its callous and cold
blooded indifference to the lives of its en-
ployes.
How the Passenger Gets Killed.
"But you can't kill passenger that way.
A passenger stands in the middle of the
down track at noon, on remarkably light
dav, looks at the express shrieking down
upon him, hears everybody within five
miles of the station yelling at him to look
out, opens his mouth as wide as his hat and
collar will let it come, and stands still, per-
fectly still while he gets run over. Then
he lives long enough to collect an accident
policy and make an ante-morsem statement
to be used in the suit of his heirs against
the company, and dies declaring it wasn't
his ia 1t, that he couldn't see the train tor
the court house and couldn't hear the
whistle for the dining room gong"
(Which he couldn't" hoarsely muttered
the passenger who killed the gong major at
Alliance, and then he smelled his hands and
went to the tank at the other end of the car
and washed them, and came back rubbing g
them and muttering to himself, and every
body shuddered. They say that he is
haunted by the phantom Of the murdered
gongster, which stands at his side beating a
spectral gong with a ghostly mallet. L.
isn't the noise of the gong that disturbs the
guilty passenger; that would be q relief.
1t is the awful spectacle OF q gong, beaten
with terrific violence, emitting nothing but
dead silence, that is driving MIN mad II
