Actors Under King william Ill.

How summarily actors and managers
were dealt with in the days of King Will
liam III is shown by the petition of Alex
ander Davenant and others, dated Dec. 49,,
1891, which has been found among the his
torical documents Of the house Of lords
These "sharers and adventures in the
playhouse"-th this seems to have reference
to the Dorset Garden theater in White
friars-set forth that Lord Longueville,
having complained Of being assaulted, to-
gether with his servants, by the guard at
this famous playhouse in the course Of
what seems to have been a rather serious
fracas, the king bad given orders at the de
sire of the peers that no soldiers should be
ON duty there for the future, and that the
players should be suspended from acting
till they had begged pardon for the af-
front"
The house had also, it appears, indicated
its dignity, thus outraged in the person Of
one of its members, by ordering a sergeant
and a soldier to be sent to the Gate House
at Whitehall, then used as a prison. The
petitioners having humbly solicited the
removal of the suspension upon them"
and promised to do their best to prevent
the like miscarriage for the future" it il
officially noted that 1.-THE suspension on the
players was removed, and that on Dec, %
the sergeant and soldier were on petition
released. london Letter.

Heavy ARTILLERY In the Past.

In l47s Mohammed II, in forming the
siege of Scutari in Albania, employed "a
heavy bOmbards, the lghtest of which
threw a stone shot OF $40 pounds weight,
two sent shot of 500 pounds, two of $50
pounds, two Of so pounds, one of 1,2C0
pounds, five Of ] 800 pounds, and one of the
enormous weight Of $40 pounds enormous
even in these days, for the only guns whose
shot exceed the heaviest of these are our 50
ton gun, throwing l,7O0-pound proiectle;
our l0O-ton, throwing one Of 1000 pounds,
and the ll0-tou, throwing an !, s0O-pound
shot with high velocity
The stone shot OF MOhammed's guns va
ried between 20 and ~ inches in diameter,
about the same height as u dining table
Two thousand five hundred and thirty-four
of them were fired on this occasion, weigh
ing, according 30 "A calculation of General
Lefroy's, about 600 tons and were cut out
Of the solid rock on the spot. Assuming "a
inches as the average diameter Of the shot
fired at this siege, the total area Of the sur
face dressed was nearly 81 900 square feet
At this siege the weight Of the powder fired
is estimated by General LEROY to have been
$50 tons. At the siege Of Rhodes in 1880
Mohammed caused 10 basilisks or double
cannon to be cast on the spot, throwing
balls two or three feet in diameter-Cham-

Taking on Ones Hat In an Elevator.

The other day rode up in an elevator
with an acquaintance who scrupulsusly OBJ
serves all the small courtesies of life. He
did not remove his hat-though he looked
as IL he would like to-and when we got out
he explained in detail the reason why:
81 have made a distinction" said he, lin
this matter Of hats in the elevator which
seems to me so logical and altogether de
feasible that | am going to adhere to 1t as a
matter of principle. In a business build
ing do not think that courtesy requires a
gentleman to uncover his head merely be
cause there are ladies present. Such place
is as purely public as the corridors or even
the outside street. The elevators in office
buildings move rapidly up and down In
drafty shafts, and the exposure caused by
taking off the hat even for a minute is ac-
tually dangerous.
In a hotel The case is different. The ex-
posure is less, the place is not so public, and
it is more than probable that a gentleman
has already removed his hat at once upon
entering the outer door. | take Off my hat
In the hotel elevator for the same reasons
that take il of in the parlor and keep il
on in the office building on the same prin-
ciple that ! wear it in the street. Kate

Nahum Briggs Early Rising.

Early rising was a frequent subject OF
contention between Nahum Briggs and his
wife Her ability TO wake in season for an
"early start was "a question often mooted
by Nahum, and the result was that all re
sponsibility of waking fell upon him. So
1t CHANGED that one night, when il seemed to
Mrs Briggs as if her tired eyes had but just
closed, Nahum spoke up briskly: Come,
Lucy, come. Time ter git up. It's all habit
sleepin so much. The ROSTERS are CROWN
in good shape
His wife rubbed her heavy lids and rose
reluctantly The clock had stopped, but
Nahum said it was nearly o, for there was
a light in "Bunkers shop" and he usually
opened the store at that time.
Soon the kettle was steaming cheerily,
and while breakfast was being prepared
Nahum took his lantern and went out to
do the chores" lie watered and fed his
stock and returned 10 eat hearty morning
meal.
Then they sat down to wait the first
streak OF dawn, but after an hour it seemed
il anything, darker than before.
Amt it terrible long comm light,
think" asked Mrs Briggs as to a carping
Judge.
"Oh, I'm used ter bein up ter greet the
uAJ, Snilfeh Nhhuui. Buc5o bhC Sun
will be round ON time"
Soon his wife looked out again.
For the love OF John Turnerv she ex-
claimed. Bunker has put out his light
an is goin home. Do go out an hail him
an find what time it IS"
cts daytime, tell ye." said Nahum,
but he went out and hailed his neighbor.
81 dunno exactly" said Mr.. Bunker,
with some moderation, but when | shut
up shop | think it was bout 10 o'clock"
Then Nahum came in and shut the door
While Mrs. Briggs prepared for a second
nights rest lac wound the clock and set it.
She noticed that he took decided comfort
in winding it more vigorously than seemed
quite necessary. Youths Companion.

A Mountain of Refuse.

A rev miles from Mannheim there is a
village supported entirely by its vast manu-
factory for changing the cinchona bark into
the quinine of commerce. Several other
medicinal extracts besides quinine are got
from the bark, but after it is put to every
possible use thers remains substance, in
bulk almost equal to the original bark, for
which no posi- Die use has been discovered
Usually manufactures are able to turn
their waste products to some sort of use
to fertilizers, to the making of embank-
ments, to the filing of uneven ground. And
If they cannot use them in some positive
way they may at least burn them, and so
get rid of the burden. Not so with this
refuse from cinchona bark.
Years ago the mandatory dumped this
stuff into the river But the government
was called in to investigate and found that
the worthless stuff not only killed the
fishes, but so embittered the waters that
they were not fit to drink So it was for
hidden to the mandatory to use the river
for carrying off its waste products. Then
ground was bought, and they started to
dumping, and now the village is under the
shadow of great hill that is rapidly grow
ing and will soon be little short of a
mountain. This huge artificial mound is
an unsightly, barren thing, covering many
acres of soil that might be put to some use
Some day an order might come to remove
the mountain into the midst " the sea
The manufacturers hop hOwever, that
science, which has touched so many un-
slightly and useless things with a magic
wand, may enchant even the bitter and
worthless refuse of chinchona bark and
make their mountain a gold mine.-New

AN ATTEMPTED WRECK ON THE COTTON BELT MONDAY
 NIGHT.
Timber and Cross-Ties Across the Track Narrow Escape From a watery
 Grave.

Night before last the north-bound Cannon Ball, No 1, left Waldo about thirty-five minutes late. The road bed between that point and Camden is exceptionally good, hence Engineer Stone and Conductor Wainright were running at full speed in order to
 make up lost time At place called the Two Bayous is a trestIe 150 or
 200 yards i'll length that spans a
 deep and dangerous stream; when
 nearing the approach to this trestle
 the headlight of Engineer Stone $ engine threw it's rays upon piece of
 timber lying diagonaly across the
 track just at the south end of the
 tfestle. 1t was too late to stop his
 train; he saw the work of dastard-
 ly hound. What to expect he knew
 not, but thanks to q merciful God.
 his engine struck the timber.
 rolled it aside and left a clear track.
 When the train came to a stop Con
 ductor Wainright went back to in
 vestigate the attempted wreck. He found the piece of timber to be about six by twelve and fourteen feet in length. Evidently the wreckers thought the cow-eatcher would pass over and the wheels of the engine would strike it, be thrown from the trestle, and together with the cars that were laundering behind, all be dashed into the deep bayou below. In the wisdom and fOrethought of Engineer Stone and Conductor Wain- right, it was thought best that slower rate of speed be had and ac- cordingly they again moved on. Luckily so, for they had not passed over more than one mile of the ad- vance track, when the keen eye of the engineer by the aid of his light saw In the distance, not far ahead, pile of cross ties heaped high upon the track. For the second time the plans and purposes were frustrated. the train crew removed the pile of cross-ties and No. pulled into Camden and on to this city without further interruption.
 It does seem that the railroads will be compelled to place a guard on every mile of their roads to protect life and property from the hellish pur- poses of these Wrecking devils.
