On Il roccnt s5nallcspcarcan tour new
heavy lady joined Us ut Manchester, her
opening part being the queen III Ham
let. ~
This actress having been discngagcd
for some time to preserve her wardrobe
from moth, had smothcrcd it in black
pepper. Being rather late for her first
scene, she omitted to shake ont her
royal robes, and her dignlicd entrance
had an astonishing effect upon all on
the stage.
The king, after brave resistance,
gave vent to Il mighty a-tish-oo that
made tho stage vibratc. All tho royal
courticrs and maids of honor followed
suit sympathetically. Hamlet came on
with his most sublime tragedy air, but
after n convulsiyc movement Of his
princely features buried them in his
somber robe, while sneezc after sncezc
was all the pubic heard from him.
was playing Ophcla, and what with
a wild desire to laugh and then to sncczc
and then to cry jumbed the lot up in !.
violent fit Of Mysteries. Amid the hub
bub on the stage and the shricks of de-
light from the audience the stage man
agcr sneczingly rang down the curtain.

Old DClff M'urc.

Tho earliest wares for table use i'm
ported to this country were tortoise
shell and delft, 1t IS impossible to give
any list of the many marks found on
delft ware. The character of the tlccora-
ton is frequently oriental being copied
from Chinese wares; hence the pieces
are often mistaken and called India
Tho color OF decoration generally used is
blue, sometimes combined with green
and yellow, the designs bold. The ware
is n coarse pottery. The old pieces found
here arc usually plates, round plattcrs,
tiles and occasionally Il tea caddy, teapot
or "bowpot. Old delft is much sought
after for decorative purposes. The pieces
made century ago have Dutch scenes
windmills, etc, and are frequently
bullying bodied or faring topped vases.
Tho word delft has come to he applied
to common crocl;ory, wherever made.
and many mistakes III definition arise
thcrcfrom.
The tortoise shell ware is English.
Much Of it was made ~ Whildoli, the
predecessor and partner Of Wcdgwood,

Does the common hare or rabbit
change its sex with the season? know
that this seems like asking very fool
ish question, but if you will investigate
tho matter you will find that there is
something i'll it after all. Lyly, the Eng

"Hares we cannot be, because they arc
male one year and female the next :"
Topscll's History of -Four Footed
Beasts" bears out a similar idea, and
