An Anecdote of nracready.

One of the most amusing anecdotes
of Macready's petulance of temper
relates to revival of Henry VIII, !"
under the management Of Maddox,
at the Princess. The part Of Car
dinal Campeius was assigned to a
brother of Mr.. George Agustus Sala,
whose stage name was Wynn, for
whom Macready had an inveterate
dislike. The tragedian had implored
the manager to see that Campeius
was furnished with costume which
should not seem entirely ridiculous
beside the splendid robes he himself
wore as Wolsey; but Maddox, of
course, disregarded the injunction.
CAT the dress rehearsal, " says Mr..
Edmund Yates, ''Macready, en-
throned in a chair of state, had the
various characters to pass before
him; he bore all calmly until, clad
in scarlet robes bordered by silver
tissue paper and wearing an enor-
nous red hat, Wynn approached.
Then, clutching both arms of his
chair and closing his eyes, the great
tragedian gasped out, Mother Ship
ton, by heaven r"-Longman's Mag

A nors ON the Train.


You may have met the man on the
train who talks politics. Yes2 Well,
he's the biggest bore and about the
only real, serious drawback left Of
modern travel. If I had my way he
would be locked up In the soiled linen
closet. He leaps upon his unsuspect-
ing fellow traveller at the most crit
ical moments between sleeping and
waking and sandbags him with his
favorite topic. The slightest open
ing-an answer to commonplace
remark about the weather-and he's
down on you at once with the tariff,
or the mistakes of the last campaign
or the prospective presidential nomi-
nations. You couldn't head him Off
with anything less than baseball
club laid on at the base of his skull.
There are but two ways of escape
open to you-to run away or let him
do all the talking until he runs down.
If you agree with him or venture
any remarks you are goner. For
he is the most dogmatic man you ever
meta confirmed political prig.
At first you are apt to mistake him
for a congressman, or at least o state
senator or some national politician,
but it generally turns out that he
keeps a small livery stable or runs
corner grocery. He gets down to
these facts finally, if you give him
rope, and will pump into you the po-
litical statistics of the Third ward OF
his town until you haven't a leg to
stand on. And If you had you
would not be able to stand on it

Hxpnotizing Horses.

Horses are very susceptible to hyp
notization by standing in front Of
them, SO that they have to look at
you fxedly. This practice was in
troduced into use in Austria by a
cavalry officer, Balassa. It is called,
after him, the Balassiren Of horses,
and according to Moll it has been in
troduced by law iuto Austria for the
shoeing Of horses in the army.
Rabbits, when they are intro
duced into the cage of a snake, fas-
cinate themselves by staring at it.
The process is commonly spoken Of
as though it were an active proceed
ing on the part Of the snake which
fascinates them. They are self fas-
cinated, and as in the case of hyp-
motto patients a mechanical means OF
impressing their senses sufices, and
it is quite gratuitous to import any
sort Of vital force or living fascinating
influence on the part either of the
snake or of the willy stage per-
former. Ernest Hart in Nineteenth
Century.

Claims I'm Congress.

Nothing is more difficult than to
push through congress the most just
claim against Uncle Sam. If recon-
mended favorably by committee, the
chances are against its ever reaching
consideration by the house. Sup
posing that it passes the house, it
must have the approval of the senate
and the presidents signature. # the
latter be lacking the claimant must
begin at the beginning again in the
next congress as if he had never taken
a step before. Much of the labor in
cidental to the settlement of claims
under existing laws is caused by
claim agents. Many of them are not
very reputable persons. They send
circulars broadcast to the unin-
formed, suggesting that the latter
are entitled to money from the treas
ury.
By way of fee for looking into the
matter, they demand two dollars OF
three dollars in advance, with the as
surance that nothing further will be
demanded unless the claim is al
lowed. Having got the fee, their in
terest ceases in the claim, which is in
due course disallowed. Meanwhile
they send out more circulars solicit
ing victims. Consequently, more
than 60 per cent. of all claims are de
void Of merit. Washington Letter.

A chird.s Early Influences.

Nothing is SO easily spoiled as a
child. Walk with your little babe a
few nights when you wish to put it
to sleep; or accustom it to rocking,
then attempt to put it to sleep with
out this habit, and see how difficult
it will be to get it to sleep. The
parent must from the beginning of
the child's existence do those things
to which the child is to conform. It
is allowing children to have their
own way during the first few years
of their lives that makes them so
hard to control. Before they are
able to talk they are being nodded
by the actions of those around them.
It is therefore highly important
that from the beginning the best in
fuence and example should be about
the child. It is serious mistake in
parents to commit their children
wholly into the hands of nurse. No
parent can afford to do this, even
though she have a very kind and
careful nurse. Every mother desires
that her child bear the impress of
her own image. This cannot be
when it is with the nurse more than
with the mother.
Few people have any idea of the
extent of the part performed by
nurses in the formation of society.
Many a mother wonders where her
son or her daughter learned these
things, or formed that habit, or
heard such and such an expression.
Let her listen few minutes at the
nursery door and all will be made
plain. n.-Housekeeper

Japan's Head Man.

The emperor of Japan, to whose
sagacity the rapid progress made by
the Land of the Rising Sun is largely
due, is thirty-nine years ofage. Born
in 1852, Mutsu Hito succeeded his fa-
ther in 1867, and was crowned in
1868; year later he married the
Princess Ha1nko. The emperor is
the one hundred and twenty-frst of
his race who has ruled the country.
He is a great believer in western civ
ilization, and in 1889 he freely grant
ed a constitution to the people whose
representatives met for the first
time in the autumn of 1890. Both
the mikado and his consort are popu-
lar, and European travellers in Japan
invariably speak in the highest terms
Of them.-London Figaro.

Deepest Lake in the World.

By far the deepest lake known in
the world is Lake Bailal, in Siberia.
It is in every way comparable with
some of the great lakes of America
for, while its area is only 8, 900 square
miles, making it much smaller than
the three largest of our five great
lakes and about the exact equal to
Lake Erie in superficial extent, its
enormous depth, A. 900 to 5000 feet,
makes the total volume of its waters
almost equal to those Of Lake Supe-
rior. Its level is 1850 feet above
that of the Pacific ocean, but, not
withstanding, its bottom is more
than 5000 feet below it.
There are many other deep lakes
in the world, but SO far Baikal takes
the palm. Lake Maggiore is 5000
feet deep, Lake Como 1900 and Lego
di-Garda, another Italian lake, near
ly 1900 feet in depth. Lake Con
stance averages about ], 1000 feet, and
Lakes Superior and Michigan about
800 feet.-St. Louis Republic

mourning for a Pet Puppy.

Toy dogs have gone out of fashion,
fortunately for the reputation for
sense Of a great many women who
were tempted to do very foolish
things while the craze lasted. Stories
of these little autocrats are still float
ing about.
At a luncheon at which were pres
ent three women Of one family-a
mother and two daughters-it was
noticed that every one of the three
declined the little articles of dessert,
jellies, cakes and the like, and the
neighbor of one of them had the
curiosity to ask the cause.
"Oh," was the reply, poor little
Marquis was Ill all night, and as
the dear little soul may not have any
of these goodies he loves SO dearly
we just haven't the heart to take any
ourselves. Her Point of View in
