Dream of the Twentieth Century Mate
rializes I'm "a brooklyn Thoater.
This really happened. It is the record
not of vision of the millennium, but of
fact. The reporter who witnessed the Incl
dent secured on the spot seven uuassailable
witnesses, all Of whom pinched one anoth-
err, took drafts of fresh air, water and
other fluids viewed the phenomena from
all sides and points and generally took pre-
cautions against deception and delusion.
The occurrence was in Brooklyn, ut the Co
lumbia theater, Friday evening. Before the
curtain rose the body of the house was hid
den by the Us.al array of monstrous mil
linery, the high hats with their furhelows
hiding the stage from all who sat in or
chestra chairs, except the very foremost
seats. Seen from above the audience re
sembled forest of cabbage palms. From
3 level all vision was shut off.
Soon after the opening of the play three
stylish young women threaded their way
along the middle row in the balcony and
seated themselves in chairs directly in front
of the stage A suppressed moan of an
guish spread behind them to the rear wall,
for each wore lofty hat that might well
reconcile one to the Inconvenience of crino-
lines by contrast To those behind them
the stage was absolutely obscured. An I'M
gallant man murmured in a hoarse whis-
per;
"A woman who'd wear a hat like that to
the theater would go to a funeral in pink
tights"
But soon rs seated the middle one of the
three women turned n face that assumed n
heavenly expression, even beneath her OBJ
truding hat, and asked the man in the seat
behind who was muttering things:
as my hat in your way ut ALP"
The man, completely upset at question
so unexpected, suffered something about,
Not at all; don't mention it; er-er'-
The lady with him said something about "a
slight obstruction" but almost before she
had spoken the girl with the immense hat
said:
"Well, I'll take it off anyway"
This she did, and her two companions fol-
| lowed suit, while the audience forgot to
look at the play and gasped and gazed at
the hatless girls The example of their &c
ton produced a curious effect upon other
ladies present. All over the balcony first
one and then another big hat came off until
the balcony presented an array of beautiful,
bareheaded women. The stage disclosed
itself as a ship coming out of fog, and
wave of happy smiles swept over the house.

How to Go Up and Down Stairs.

If girl wants to learn to occupy stairs
with II fair amount of self possession, she
can do it, This is case where practice
brings perfection.
TO begin with, hold the body erect,
whether going up or down. Don't give an
imitation of man with cramps. Hold the
body and shoulders in line horizontal to
the fiat of the steps. Then don't climb all
over. Most women use their elbows for
propellers or oars. They jerk themselves
up stairs by them Hold the elbows we'll
down by your side and mount from the
knees. 1t is an art to acquire this, but once
gained it is u wonder how one persisted SO
long in usi,S every joint in the operation.
Don't plant the entire foot with square
solidity. That is what Injuries the muscles
of the back and jars the body, In going
up stairs press the ball of the foot on the
tread of the stairs and secure a spring from
that to carry to the next tread. In coming
down, poise on one foot and land well for
ward on the ball and toe of the other foot.
And don't, for mercy's sake, toe in. Lift
the skirts in front as you mount and leave
the long, graceful line from the waist to
the skirt hem undisturbed.-Buff News,
Pullman herald. [volume] (Pullman, W.T. [Wash.]) 1888-1989, 1894-10-19

An English SEMITIC philosopher lately
made a half playful, half serious defense OF
the routine life of the man of regular hab-
it's"
He insisted that in this busy age, when
so many duties press upon an active man,
and there are so many things which una
voidably call for the exercise of attention,
Judgment and decision every day, it is the
part of wsdom-a real conservation of en-
ergy and nervous force-to settle as many
as possible of the routine matters by fixed
habit of life.
There seems to be sense in the suggestion.
Why should man with anything impor-
tant to do in the world tax the gray matter
of his brain newly every day TO decide what
he will eat or drink or wear, what his pleas
ures shall be and what his recreation, when
he shall go to bed and when get up? Hay-
ing arrived at years of discretion and dis
elimination, why can he not so order his life
as to have these and kindred things come
and 90 in n somewhat settled order?
To eat at regular hours the things he
finds good Of, according to Bacon's rule,
abstaining from those that disagree with
him. To rise, battle, dress exercise, work,
rest, recreatea and sleep after regular order,
is not to make a treadmill of life. 1t is to
lay out smooth road for journeying with
the least possible friction and waste.-NeW

He Really Gould Not Afford 1t.

Madam was to have two teeth extracted
and decided to take gas for the occasion.
She was comfortably placed i'll the big
chair and was enjoying the first sensations
of breathing in the fumes. There was de
licious murmuring that reminded her Of
the sounds of lovely summer day, bees
humming and all nature at lullaby But
she was still conscious, just dazed enough
to fancy that long time was passing and
she was consuming quantities of gas with
out its having the desired effect. She must
be taking more than the doctor could afford
to give her Several times he had lifted her
fingers to see if they were limp, and now he
suggested that she keep her hand as long
as possible held up from the wrist.
Madam has tender heart, and in her
half asleep state it overpowered her head.
The dentist could never waste on one pa
tient that amount of gas 1t was her du y
to deceive him and stop this great drain on
his pocket So she let the hand fab limp
and played insensible.
Out came one tooth with horrible
wrench that invaded every fiber of her be
ing and brought her back to her full senses
with IA bound The doctor was amazed,
and both were amused when the state of
the case was realized. The second tooth
waited for another day.-Newport News.

A writer in Science denies that the letter
V is a lineal descendant from the Roman [,
which, in the time of Cicero, was borrowed
from the Greek alphabet to represent upsi-
lon in the translation of Greek names. The
latter is only used, he says, as vowel to
transliterate upsilon in loan words, either
direct from the Greek or indirectly through
Latin or French. In II great majority of
cases the English is semiconsonant, cor
responding in value with the continental j..
Along with the other Roman letters, was
adopted by the Anglo-SaXons from the
Latin alphabet, with value approximate
ing to that of i. In fact, he claims that
there is not a lineal descendant of the An
glo-Saxon now in existence The letter y
in modern English words is, curiously
enough, he claims, not Y at all, but lineal
descendant of the Anglo-Saxon G, which
was the Roman G, evolved by the Romans
out of an earlier G.

Did You ever hear of tine peculiar climate
of the 18th parallel? Signal service men
tell some strange stories concerning it. In
the stretch of country north and northwest
of Bismarck, and from Fort Benton, Mon,
to Pcmbiua, \. D., is a belt of territory
about Geo miles long by 100 wide that may
we'll be called the land Of maNimums and
minimuns if the records given be correct,
When a cold wave prevails, this belt is
colder than anywhere else in that region,
and when it is warm this tract is warmer
than anywhere Else, If the signal station
at Bismarck shows II temperature OF 10, 10
or 20 degrees below zero, it is at least 10 or
Is degrees lower along the parallel.
In July, 1881, when Bismarck registered
1O2 degrees in the shade, it was 40 degrees
at the others As "a matter of course this
district shows the greatest extremes of tenn
perature The mean range in that part of
the northwest is probably $50 degrees-that
is great enough-but Pembina and Fort
Benton have recorded range of 1863 de-
grees. On Dec. 20, 1850, the thermometer
stood at 50 degrees below zero and in July
of the following year Mt 40 degrees above.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by cOnstitu-
tiOnal remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
famed condition of the mucous lining of the
etl> tachian tube When this tube is lntlamed
you have Il rumbliug sOuHd or imperfect hear
ing, and when 1t is entirely closed, deafness is
the result, and unless the Inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases on, OF ten are caused by catarrh,
which is moth ing but an inilamed condition OF
the mucous surfaces.
