Occasionally" said a retired bur
glar, "a man transfers to himself in
q single night the accumulations of
another mans lifetime, but these in
stances are very rare, and nothing
could be further from the truth than
the idea that burglary is a quick and
easy road to wealth. The fact is
that the great majority of burglars
make but a scant living, and to make
even that they must encounter many
difficulties and dangers. The bur-
glars reward, whatever it may be,
is never commensurate to the risks
he takes.
81 have myself acquired some
property, but if l had my life to live
over again l should choose some
other occupation than burglary. In
deed, when you come to consider the
inconvenient hours and the general
worry and uncertainty of that bust
ness, the wonder is that anybody
should ever go into it; if a man is at
all inclined to be sensitive he should
certainly keep out of it."-New Or

Electricity and Astronomy.

II is seldom that the charge of i'm
peding scientific progress can be laid
at the door of electricity, but it now
appears that the accuracy of astro-
nolnical observations is being serious
ly impaired by the glare from cleo
trio street lights. Professor Swift
states that since electric lights have
been brought into general use in
cities the difficulty of discovering
new nebule or faint comets has ma
terially increased, and that the sky
illumination fogs the plates in photo
graphic work. He suggests that in
ventors have now an opportunity of
earning the eternal gratitude of as
tronomers and photographers of
celestial scenery by devising some
means of overcoming this difficulty.
His own idea Of remedy is a
means of maintaining the light at
one level, and that near tho bottom
of the globe, during the entire night.
If this were done and the upper half
Of the globe of the lamp were paint
ed white, Professor Swift contends
that not only would the illumination
of the street be improved, but that
nine -tenths Of the light would be
prevented from ascending skyward.

Old NOT GO ON THE STAGE.

The Marrow Escape OF a Chinamsn VINO
Was to Play the skull
II is related Of Jack Langrishe, when
he was making a small fortune by CIV
ing the early day residents Of Colorado
dramatic art in strong nightly doses,
that he once played memorable re
turn" engagement in an interior mining
camp. where the inhabitants insisted on
"HamIet." Now Langrishe, being
comedian in more respects than one,
did not at all favor this Shakespearcan
idea. but instead tried to shake the ma
tiyes' faith in the "legit" by insisting
that "Toodles" or "Pink DominOes
would enable him to shine to much
better advantage. Hamlet" was in
sisted upon, however--they wanted it
all, including the ghost-and with Ham
let left in.
Accordingly the somewhat small com
many was told to study up, characters
were "doubled" and the leading man
given chance to distinguish himself as
the melancholy Dane. One problem
presented itself. No skull could be
found for the graveyard scene. Mr..
T.angrishe represented to the committee
who had made the request for per-
| for1nance of "Hamlet" that the skull
was all important-no skull no Ham
let" and what were they going to do
about it? The committee considered. 1t
sas a new camp, with no graveyard,
and there weren't even dead Indians
around. Langrishe went to bed that
night feeling hopeful. If the committee
couldn't find skull he would have a
reasonable excuse for substituting TOO
dies on the momentous night.
The following afternoon Langrishe
went into small Chinese laundry to get
his washing. Just as he entered he
heard the voice Of the chairman OF the
committee in loud converse with the
proprietor of the establishment.
"Want to go on the stage, John2"
"Yles; me lact me bully lactor. How
muchee getteeY"
"One hundred dollars, and here's your
stuff"
Langrishe collared the chairman just
as he was leaving.
"What in thunder do you want that
Chinaman for?" he propounded.
The committeeman leaned over con-
fdingly. "For Hamlet of course; he's
going to play the skull
"Play the SKULL Why, great-all-fred-
crickets, man, how can he2 A skull is
not whole man. It's head"
III know it," responded the enthusiast;
"thats all he'll be by 6 o'clock tonight.
Wen have the head FOR you. We're
goin to lynch him-a Chinaman any
way. Well give him funeral and all
that, of course"
It took the comedian an hour after
recovering from his horror to convince
the committee that "head wasn't a
skull" He played "Hamlet" that night,
but the Chinaman was in the audience,
not on the stage. And the leading man
soliloquized over the defunct Yorick by
using the whitened skull Of mule

Celibacy in Athos.

Marriage is least popular in the
peninsula of Athos, in the Egean
sea, in European Turkey, because in
that community, which enjoys COM
plete autonomy, subject to paying
the Turkish government an annual
tribute, no marriage ever takes place.
They never allow any woman in their
territory, and carry their objection
to marriage and the opposite sex tc
such an extent that no female, even
of the lower animals, is ever permit

Eggs Within Eggs.

We have never been convicted of tell
ing fish stories, nor yarns of any kind
that sounded in any degree fishy, but
here is one for the yarn spinner to i'm
prove upon: Mrs. DR.. Campbell recently
found two eggs, the fruit of Plymouth
Rock hen, which were fully as large az
goose eggs. Upon breaking these eggs
they were found to contain the yolk and
yellow in the same proportion found in
other eggs, and in addition to this each
one contained another perfectly formed
egg of a yolk and yellow inclosed in n
hard well formed shell. This inner egg
is of the shape and size of the ordinary
hens egg. One of these peculiar combi-
nations was opened at one end enough
to let out the ingredients of the large
eggs, while the inclosed still remains in-
cased in the outer shell and will be care
fully preserved for inspection by the
urious.-Centralia (Mo.) Courier.

so many sorrowsl The river which
had borne away on its black bosom

Diatoms are so small as to be seen
only with the aid of the microscope;
those of ordinary size, when magni-
fed about $50 diameters, appear
about a quarter of an inch long.
Others are much larger. They are
curious little plants with a silica
shell, which in certain places is pro
vidod with little apertures through
which living parts of the plant pro
trude.
In this way they are enabled to
move about freely in the water by
which they are generally surrounded,
for though they are not all strictly
water plants they all need considera-
bic water to enable them to thrive,
and SO are always found in wet
places. Emily l., Gregory in Popu-

sMI1Asoh AND HIS REPUTATION.
He May Have Been Poor Actor o"'
His Heart Was in the Right Place

Tie NAV Have Been Poor Actor. but
His Heart Was in the Right Place.
Smithson, once an actor, has had for
long time the reputation of being cold
hearted, designing, crafty fellow. de
has come by this reputation gradually
no one knows exactly when the FIRST
symptoms of coldness showed them
selves. Some of his old time acquain'
ances saw that since the day following
his summary dismissal from the Play
well company Smithson has been =
changed man. Not few of them think
that there is now no hope for him
There are a few optimists, however
who believe that in Smithsons near
there still burns a flame OF klndllntS'
that only needs to be fed to make hnt
the whole souled, splendid fellow he wai
few years ago.
This small band of optimists met IL
the fiat of one of their number the othe"
night. The conversation drifted from
one subject to another. They talked o
the propositions for membership in tl'
PLAYERS, and about other subjects OF iii
terest to actor folk. Finally, Augustu'
Frankville said, "Fellows, | have good
news about Smithson."
"Good! what is it?" they all cried III
chorus.
"Well," continued Frankville. 81 was

park this afternoon when | saw hlm

concluded to keep an eye ON him ana
to find out if possible how he was keep
ing body and soul together. He is too
proud to beg from his former friends
you know.
"He went on few blocks, hesitated
before saloon and went i'll through the
side door, which was just opposite the
free lunch counter. went into the sa'
loon through the front door and stood at
the bar within two feet of him. 1t was
late in the afternoon and the free lunch
had mostly disappeared. There was left
only one piece of corned beef and two
miserable slices of bread. Smithson
made for that counter totally oblivious
to everything and with as much decorum
AS one could expect from hungry man.
"He lost no time in making sand
wich out of what remained on the lunch
counter He looked at it eagerly and
was about to eat it when dirty little
hand appeared under the small swing
| ing door and tugged at his coat. AT the
same time in sharp whisper there came
this appeal from the owner of the hand.
Say, mister, give us a sandwich? Pm
hungry.
Poor old Smithson cast one glance al
| the sandwich and another at the dirty
| hand of the street boy. In an instant
he put the sandwich into the dirty hand,
| The lunch counter was left bare and
Smithson's stomach was empty. tell
you, fellows, old, broken down Smith
| son has been maligned."
Smithson's reputation is not so bad

Some years ago, when residing on
the banks of the Thames, / had cat
which used regularly to swim across
the river to an eyot which was in
tested with rats, the distance being
forty yards. l often used to carry
her across the broadest part of the
stream, opposite my house, at least
100 yards, in punt and land her on
the opposite bank, when, regardless
of weather or food, she would boldly
follow the punt home. She always
swan very low in the water, with
tail erect, and used to shake herself
like dog upon coming ashore. She
was well known in my neighborhood,
and many people used to come and
see the performance. Although a
dread of water is instructive in cats,
if brought up on river side they
lose all fear of wet and, once the
aversion is overcome, love to dabble
about and swim. Cor. Land and

In Prater restaurant few evenings
ago young and clean shaven man was
seated alone at table with glass Of
beer before him. Three men came ip
and sat down at the same table. They
thought the beardless youth was Jew
and began to annoy him. For some time
he kept perfectly quiet and pretended
not to notice them. AS they continued
to amuse themselves, suddenly he sprang
up and faced the three, who had risen
simultaneously. Without saying word
he placed himself in boxing attitude,
and in a few seconds the three "Jew"
baiters lay in heap on the floor with
their faces bruised. On recovering they
left the place. The young man sat down

OF the many stories told by Henry
Labouchere one of the best is of his
journey from Dresden to Constanti-
nople, which he quotes as illustrating
the niggardliness which rules at the
foreign Office in some matters. The
young attache not putting in an ap-
pearance at Constantinople at the
appointed period, formal inquiry was
made as to the reason of the delay.
After much trouble and considerable
expense the missive reached his
hand, and in due course a letter ar
rived at the foreign Office stating that
inadequate provision had been made
for his travelling expenses, and that
as his private means were limited
