Uncle Toms Cabin is a much-abused
play, out its name generally catches q
good house. Sutton's combination played
it at the opera house last night and great
many people went to see it. The crowd
was undemonstrative, however, except
the proverbisl small boy, and be was un-
commonly quiet. The negro qusrtette
did fairly well. and the bloodhounds
seemed to know their business. Little
Eva was the bright particular star of the
evening, but her father didn't support
her very well and the result was q col
lapse in two important parts Of her role.
The orchestra was reasonably good and
there was some raw fun in Marks and his
hobo friend. Uncle Tom got killed, all
right, but he and his spinster companion
are not too old to learn something about
how to present Uncle Toms Cabin 81
ceptably.

The leading geol ogists Of the United
States and Europe have long been engaged
in attempt to figure the retrocession of Nj
agara falls down to a point where the de-
ductions may be used as a basis for estimat-
ing the exact age of the cataract. The
opinions on the subject that have been adj
vanced BY the various "profs," m. b. q"
"a. BIS" and other learned gentlemen
with sections of the alphabet either follow.
ing or preceding their names are in some
instances really ridiculous. Thus we find
that Lyell estimates the time that has
elapsed while the falls have been wearing
back from Queenstown to their present site
at not less than IS, 600 years, while Desor
using the same basis of calculations, places
it $500, 900 years.
Nor is this all. The United States geolo
gist, G. T. Gilbert, using Professor Hall
1872 trigonometrical survey as his guide
cannot make out that more than 1000 year
have elapsed since the falls first sprang int
existence at the close of the "icea age" Her
is something really interesting in the shap
of geographical figures: Gilbert says 100
years; Lyell gives it as 5000 years, or fir
times as far in the misty past as Gilbert
then Desor declares to be 100 times olde

College Reminiscences.

Four old Jefferson students who grad
uated in 1854 met in Pittsburg for the first
time since graduation. The four old boys
had pleasant time recalling scenes of
long ago. One had rescued the other from
drowning in CHARTERS creek. All agreed
that there WIS as much OF more total de-
pravity in the student of 40 years ago as
now.
Among the boyish pranks recalled was an
expedition to the grounds of the Olome Fee
male seminary on the evening of a wash
day. OF course no one of the four present
had joined in this raid. But the clothes
line of tho seminary was by some wicked
| students transferred to the college campus,
square above, and was there stretched be-
tween two trees. The following morning
/ the students on entering the grounds i'm
agined that they had strayed into the
wrong Enclosure.
Another prank was the robbery of a
Canonsburg paint shop. Some students
/ who believed in total deprRyity and tried
to live up to their beliefs secured the paint
er's materials and in the silent midnight
+ watches painted in large letters across thu
college buildings "a. b. Brown, tobacco
mist" A. B. Brown was president of tn,
college and very naturally did not fee

Religions In British BURN ah,

The detailed results of the census of
Burmah were expected with unusual inter
est, because of the addition of upper Bur-
nah to the empire during the decade. Mr..
Gales has reported total population of
s,095,0i of whom some 500, 900 are in the
conquered territory, and the third of a
million are in the Shan states. In lower
Burmah this is the third census, and it
was SO popular with the Burmans and
Karens that they complained if they
thought themselves overlooked by the emu
merator and in many cases they carved
the census numbers in wood and hung
them up on the houses. The population Of
lower Burmah, doubled since Lord Dial
housie's time, increased one-fourth in the
last decade, and yet it contains only 45 pei
square mile of fertile soil. The whole pro
vince is now of the size of Great Britain
and two Irelands.
\ A curious and altogether new fact come.
out for the first time-the Buddhism of tn.
Burmans is all on the surface, the mass o
the 100000 of our subjects who profess
that belief being still Shamanists or devi
orshipers-Animists. Like Brahmanism
nominal Buddhism absorbs the aborigina
cults with an easy tolerance, but is itsel
, adulterated thereby. Like Hume's philo
sophical skepticism, Buddhist latitudina
rianism sis almost wide enough to includ
an honest disayowal of itself. n-Edinburg
