cLEoPATRA,s NEEDLE.
Getting tho ObelisiS Aboard Snip a Pretty
Piece OF Engineering.

Zone Of the pleasantest recollections
have to look back on, " said Adam
johnson, sis the fact that was one of
the party that helped to run up the
American colors over Cleopatra S needle
when it was being taken down to be
carried to New York. Our vessel was
out i'll the Mediterranean with rowing
commission, and we were at Alexandria
at the time the obelisk was being NOV
ed Tho big stone had been presented by
the Egyptian government to this coun-
try, but the people were wild about hav-
ing it moved. We had to place n guard
around tho men who were working on
the shaft, and even then there was al
most a riot.
"But that was one of the prettiest
pieces Of engineering work have ever
seen. Tho engineers who were moving
our shaft had couple Of big wooden
cases built that fitted around the needle
like the pieces of wood around the lead
in pencil. There were couple of pro-
iectiles ON each side Of the castings just
on the center Of gravity in the shaft,
like the trunnions on cannon. Under
these they put lifting jacks and just
picked that immense stone Off its
pedestal swung it around horizontal
and then lowered it as gently as could
be on q long sliding way, with cannon
balls under it for rollers. They had
SQUARE hole cut in the stern Of the
steamship and slid it into the hull
through that and replaced the sheathing
outside
under the shaft in the inside Of the
pedestal there were lot of bronze toads
and ornaments and the Lord knows what
not that the Masons claimed were placed
there by some of their progenltors cons
ago. ! don't know anything about that,
though, and you can leave it or take it,
as you choose.
1.-THE British were not half so slick
with the obelisl1 they carried over to
England. They cased it up in big
sheet iron arrangement like boiler, riv-
eted it in and hoated the whole thing
off through trench dug i'll the sand
down to the water. Then they rugged
jury sails on it and towed it over to
England, but they lost three or four
men off it before they got it in port and
had all sorts of time generally.
GA couple of years afterward I saw
the British obelisk set up on the east
bank Of tho Thames, and when I came
home the first thing 1 went to see was
ours in Central park. "-Washington

Lack of Accommodations In the Green
room and Behind the Scenes.
The janitor has an important bearing
on the actors condition, which finds its
expression is his playing and possibly
on his nervous organization. He sup
plies the house and in most cases fur
nishes quarters for the actors such as no
self respecting slave owner would in
the old days have condemned a slave to
occupy.
For the public nothing is too good
For the actor OH the other hand, any
thing is good enough. Instead Of silken
draperies, he finds only tattered cur
tain at the window, if indeed he find
curtain at all, or even a window
which it might cover. Instead Of soft,
comfortable chairs, one wooden chair
none too clean, or q chair minus back,
will be the only seat, and not infre-
quently, if he wishes to sit down, be
must do so on his trunk. Instead of
delicately tinted walls, he will find dirty
walls which have not been treated even
to coat Of whitewash for years. While
in the auditorium soft carpet covers
the floor, in the actors room carpet
rarely exists or, if by chance there be
something which once was carpet, it
is SO dirty that it would be better away.
The washing appliances of the actor's
room, if they are found at all, usually
consist Of q small basin with tap of
running water. Most people would ex-
pect that, as the winter is the theatrical
season and the paints used by the ac-
tors are made with grease, hot water
would be at hand But this is rarely
the case, and i'll many instances running
water in the dressing rooms is unknown.
1t is not uncommon for actors to refrain
from using the basins, preferring to re-
move the makeup" as we'll as possible
with vaseline and to wait until the
hotel is reached to complete this portion
of the toilet. Tin basins and buckets are
not the worst that have seen "on the
road" for once the water was in dirty,
battered, old lard tins, and basins had
to be bought by our manager. Forum.

Gold Lined Guns Not In It.

young woman, sauntered across Inde-
pendence square yesterday afternoon
when Old Sol was at his hottest When
they came to the ice water fountain, the
young woman stopped and picked up
one Of the tin cups. and scanning it
ruefully shook her head at her compan-
ion and laid it quickly down again
The next thing was to slip off small
suede glove, and placing the pretty
hand it fitted under the stream she
filed its palm with water and drank
from it three times. And The next thing
was to see the young man bend over the
game palm while he held her wrist to
balance the novel cup, and five times it
took to satisfy him, and right willingly
did the pretty young woman fill it and
place it to his lips Both actors were
perfectly unconcerned, and after the
young man had dried the young wom-
ans hand in his pocket handkerchief
they sauntered in a down town direc-

TRAGEDIES ON ToMBsToNEs.
English Churchyards and Their Deeply
Craven Accusations of murder.


Craven Accusations of Murder.
In the churcbyards of Britain several
tombstones exist with the accusations
of murder deeply engraved upon them.
A stone over the grave of three children
in Merrington (Durhanl) churchyard
bears the following inscription;
Sleeping we were slain.
And here we sleep till we must rise again.
In Sandridge churchyard, Surrey, on
the tombstone Of custom house officer
who was shot in an encounter with
smugglers is the following:
Thou shalt do no murder, nor shalt thou steal
Are the conlnsnds jehovah did reveal.
But thou, o wretch, without fear or dread
OF thy tremendous Maker, shot me dead.
On a stone in Cadoxton churchyard,
Glamorganshire, is inscribed the most
fearful accusation of murder to be found
on any tomb in Great Britain:
t'To RECORD MURDER.
"This stone was erected over the body
of Margaret Williams, aged 26, living
in service in this parish, who was found
dead with marks of violence upon her
in ditch on marsh below this church.
yard on the morning Of Sunday, the
14th July, 1922
although the savage murderer es-
capped for a season the detection of man,
yet God hath set his mark upon him
either for time or eternity, and the
cry Of blood will assuredly pursue him
to certain and terrible but righteous
judgment.
A tombstone stood in Dulverton
churchyard few years ago ON which
was inscribed:
Poisoned by the doctor, neglected by the nurse,
The brother robbed the widow. which made
the matter worse.
An accusation Of murder appears on
the tomb Of Edwin, the Irish comedian,
who was buried in st. Werburgh's
