The String Broke.

Blank comes to Brooklyn every day from
one of the prettiest of Long Island towns
where he has one of the prettiest of cot
tages. His wife has sister in Carleton
avenue, and to this sister Mr.. Blank often
carries fresh eggs by the score. Mr.. Blank
has plenty of money, and ne could easily
afford to keep thousand unproductive
chickens, but the Carleton avenue Lady
conscientiously saves all the unused bread
for Mr.. Blanks fowls, and the bane of his
life is the lady's hat box, in which it ac-
cumulates and in which it is finally trans
ported to the chicken house.
Last week consignment of eggs went
one way, as usual, and a consignment of
bread the other. Mr.. Blank is well groomed,
well attired and good looking, but he is
about as domesticated as one of his own
fowls just the same and he never could
summon up enough courage TO get up re-
volt on the bread carrying question. His
last experience proved to be the straw that
broke the camel's back
Among his fellow passengers on the
train were two ladies' He didn't know
them now. AS he left the car he over
heard one of them say:
That's the kind of husband to have;
he's taking a new hat home to his wife"
Mr.. Blank had the hat box by the string
with which is was tied and the string
with which it was tied didn't happen to be
very strong. 1t broke A choice collection
of stale bread scattered itself over the plat
form, and the ladies-well, the ladies

good deal can be learned by studying the
work of professionals appearing at the
local theaters
A hundred valuable hints on stage bust
neSs"-gestures and actions explanatory
of the dialogue-can be picked up by
an intelligent amateur from careful OBJ
servation Of any good professional perform
ance, whether the play resembles the one
i'll which the amateur is to take part or
not But the plan which amateurs and
professionals alike have to carry out, in or
der to give performance which in any
way approaches perfection, is to study
their own parts with view to forming an
idea of how a living person would speak
and act in real life if placed in a position
similar to that of the character in the play.
The most important thing for amateurs
to learn (and not a few professionals might
ponder it with profit is told in the two
words-act fast. They ought to be painted
in red letters and hung up where they will
be seen at every rehearsal. Never allow
the performance to lag for fraction of
second While the curtain is up let the
play progress with vim, vim. A good
deal of bad acting will be passed over IN.
noticed if the attention of the audience is
held by rapid sequence of events on the
stage.
When say "act fast" however, by no
means mean speak fast" Every word
should be given time enough to guarantee
complete separation from every other
word, and every syllable should be heard
and understood by every member of the
audience In order to accomplish this it is
not necessary to scream. If each vowel
sound is given it's full value an ordinary
tone will be found to have astonishing PEN
etration. Attention to this point has been
the secret Of many pronounced successes.

One day she asked her class, composed OF
thirty grown girls, a question Having

Goats and ornrcnat..

A clothing dealer says that about one
fifth of the masculine portion of the city'i
population go through the winter with
out overcoats. In most instances the
cause is the lack of money to make a
purchase, but there are men who are
able to buy but who refuse to wear q
top coat. Some Of these prefer two OF
more suits of underclothing TO an over
coat. A great many whose occupation
keeps them indoors constantly invest
their money in street car rides on cold
days and get along well enough without
the big coat.
A well to do merchant scouts the ides
of more than one coat at a time. He
keeps an assortment Of coats of varying
weights and uses them. in accordance
with the high or low temperature. he
insists that it is the only way TO avoid
colds, which comes from overweight OF

GULF WEEDS.

Where the gulf weeds go, drifting, driftiu
In the strange path of the seas,
Caught by the swirling eddy,
Tossed by the nadcap breeze,
A myriad tiny creatures
90 sailing away with these
On pod and frond and streamer,
On rosy and purple spray,
IN the mesh of the lovely seaweeds
Sailing and drifting away

Mollusis with pearls and rings
Crayfish clicking their music,
Shining, unnamed things,
And the Argonaut, brave sailor.
With the old time myths it brings.
They know what the waves are saying,
They hear the sea birds scream;
And the white ships loom aud vanish
In tho wonderful tropic stream;
And they sing and chatter together
Like voices in a dream.
And If we we're mermaids OF mermen,
We, too, would sail al our ease
On The raft of the lovely seaweeds
Drifting away with these,
With the tiny creatures about us.
Through the strange path of the seas.

Would chatter and sing and play,

To the shcres OF we-know-Dot-whitheF
