Waterbury evening Democrat., 1893-09-12

The United States cruiser Philadelphia is considered to have achieved a remark able performance by making the distance from Rio Janeiro to Callao in 20 days and IS hours in one continuous run, without stopping anywhere for coal. The distance is 5000 miles. The time is not remarkable; only the long run without stopping to coal. If the Phila- delphia had whooped up her furnaces and taken in a fresh supply of coal, she could have accomplished the distance in a shorter time. But the fact that a man. of-war can remain out and steam ahead for 21 days with only one store of coal is worth knowing and noting.

China has half way protectorateo over Siam. The commercial interests of Eng land in the land of the white elephant are very great, and her political interest in keeping buffer state between herself and other aggressive European nations in Asia is no less. If France should push Siam too hard, the natural thing wifi be an alliance, offensive and defen- siVe, between England and China as against France.

WATERBURY CONN.

THE Worlds fair souvenir half. dollars are going into the treasury for redemp- tion in such quantities ithat Senator Morgan has, at the request of Secretary Carlisle, introduced a bill to repeal much of the law of 1879 as makes it compulsory upon the secretary of the treasury to redeem subsidiary silver coin in treasury notes, which is the same as redeeming them in gold. The Chicago banks, with which the greater portion of Columbian half dollars were pledged to secure advances made to the exposi- ton managers, are now sending these coins to Washington for redemption, it having been found impossible to dispose of them at the expected premium. Sec retary Carlisle thinks they would just as well be put in general circulation as piled up in :he treasury; hence the bill to stop their redemption.

as follows: Muscles and their appurte-

skin, 1Cj1 pounds; fat, 2S pounds; brain,

blood Chat which would drain from the

man should beat rs times in Il minute
and he should breathe Is times during
each minute. At that rate, in % hours
he would vitiatc $50 cubic feet of pure

Some of Ensland's Most Distinguished
Ambassadors Can't Save Money.
So great is Lord Duffcrin's poverty
that during the time which interviewed
between his vicc-royalty of India and
his appointment as ambassador Mt ST.
Petersburg, both he and Lady Dufferin
were forced for the sake of economy to
live at Paris under the name of Mr. and
Mrs. Temple on the fifth floor of the
Hotel Windsor on the Rue de Rivoli.
The economics which this charming
couple were then forced to exercise,
were painful and even ptiful sight
to those who, like myself, had had the
privilege of enjoying their gracious hos
pitality at Rideau hall. Ottawa
Lord Duffcrin's case, may add, is
not the exception, but rather the rule,
in che English government service, and
the most of the holders of lucrative
posts quit Office in debt. Among the
many instances thereof I need only cite
those of Lord Augustus LOTUS, who be-
came bankrupt after retiring from
fifty years of diplomatic service, and
the late earl of Granville and Of Lord
Lytton, who have left their families in
q very impoverished condition, although
during their entire lifetime they had
held one or another of the highest offices

Tho custom of clcrics OF the Roman
Catholic church not wearing Il beard
is supposed to date from the earliest
history of the church. The carly Chris
tians. to manifest their dislike of pagan
vanity III the cifcminacy of long and
curling hair and carefully cultivated
boards, shaved their faces and kept
their hair cropped close. In the time
Of Tcrtullian this was mark of the
Christian. The early tonsure, known
as ST. Peters, of Rome, had the entire
head closely shaven, leaving but mar
row rim. Custom nowadays takes but
q small lock of hair from the head.

a GUESS AT THE GREEN ROOM.
Why Green Cloth Was Laid In british
Tragedies.

Tragedies.
When I was u lad in the painting
room OF the old Princess thcater, A. ID.
1916, says II writer in the London
Times. whenever u tragedy was per-
formed there used to be laid down on
the stage u huge carpet Of green buiac.
OFTEN and often have / asked the
stage carpenters, the property men, and
even the mighty proprietor himself
what was the meaning of this theatrical
board of green cloth. But I could never
obtain satisfactory solution of the
mystery.
Long years aftcrward was enabled
TO solve the riddle. The meaning of
the green cloth was simply this In the
English tragic drama the heroes and
heroincs are mournfully addicted to
dying in sight of the audience.
Now, in the latter part of the seven
tccnth century, and during the first
fifty years of the present one, the no
bility and gentry were in the generous
habit of presenting their cast-off
drawing-room and birthnight dresses,
often made OF the richest silks, satins
an brocades, profuscly embroidered
with gold and silver, to the most con-
spicuous among the players; and the
dramatic artists, when it was their
business to give up the ghost in pres
cncc of the audience, very scnsibly OBJ
lectcd TO having their fine clothes
spoiled by coming in contact with the
not always clean boards of the stage
So it occurred to some thoughtful
manager to lay down green cloth on
which kings and queens could expire
with due dignity, but without soiling
their gay apparel.
