ABsURDITY OF STAGE DEATHS.
Nature Outrageously Violated Instead of
Being shown "a Mirror.

A French dramatic critic, with some
| show of medical knowledge. represents that
nearly all actors and actresses outrageous
| ly violate nature in their limitations OF
death, says the Baltimore Gazette. He
cites, in corroboration of his charge, the
customary theatrical death of Camille in
the younger Dumas fayorite emotional
play of that title. According to the aut hor
his heroine is affected with pulmonary
consumption and an incidental attack of
lhemorrhage OF the lungs eXtinguishes her
life. There is absolutely nothing dramatic
| to be made out of this mode of dying, it
fidelity to fact be obeyed. The gushing
of a stream of blood from the mouth would
be realistic, but the imitation of such IL
phenomenon Is never made by actors
male or female, nor would any discreet
manager tolerate such a piece of stage
business. Again, the overwhelming suffo-
cation which produces the rapid death in
Camllles case is never accompanied by
commissions, such as her dying representa-
tlNeS on the stage almost always assume.
In natural death from this cause the suf-
ferer simply collapses from failure of the
vital powers.
Theatrical poisoning scenes are also us,-
ally untrue TO nature. II is popularity be-
HeVed that when a fatal dose of lauda-
mum or morphine Is swallowed the victim
Immediately sinks into a deathlilke sleep
as Is commonly seen on the stage. where
as the ilrst effect OF this poison taken in
like quantity is invariably to excite and en-
lven. Nor Is the mode of dying after tha

CURIOUS INSTINCT OF THE LLAMA.
South American Animals which Always
Hunt In One Diving pincc.

| 1t Is well known that at the southern
extremity of Patagonia the huanacos have
a dying place, spot to which all individ-
uals inhabiting the surrounding plain re-
pair at the approach of death TO deposit
their bones. Darwin and Fitzroy first
recorded this strange instinct in their
personal narratives. and their observa-
tions have since been fully confirmed by
Others. The best known of these dying or
burial places are on the banks of the
Santa Cruz and Gallegos rivers, where the
river valleys covered with dense prim-
eval thickets of bushes and trees of
stunted growth there the ground is COW
cred with the bones Of countless dead
generations.
"The animals" says Darwin, "in most
cases must have crawled before dying
beneath and among the bushes" ~
strange instinct in a creature pre-
eminently social in it's habits; a dweller
all its life long on the open barren pla-
teaus and mountain sides! says Land and
Water What a subject for a painter!
The gray wilderness of dwarf thorn trees,
aged and grotesque and scanty leaved.
nourished for a thousand years on the
bones that whiten the stony ground at
their roots; the interior lit family with
the rays of the departing sum- chill and
gray and silent and motionless-the hui
anacos' Golgotha In the long centuries.
stl etching back into a dim immea surable
past, SO many of this race have journeyed
hither from the mountain and the plain to
suffer the sharp pang of death, that, to
the imagination, something of 1t all
seems to have passed into that hushed
and mournful nature. And now one more,
the latest pilgrim, has come, all his little
strength spent in his struggle to pene-
trate the close thicket looking old and
gaunt and ghostly in the twilight; with
long, ragged hair; staring into the gloom
out of death -dimmed sunken eyes.
To this account of the animals dying
place and instinct Darwin adds:"I do not
l may observe that the wounded huana-
cos at the Santa Cruz invariably walked
toward the river"
1t would, no doubt, be rash to affirm of
any instinct that it is absolutely unique;
but, putting aside some doubtful reports
about Il custom of the Asiatic elephant,
which may have originated in the
count of Sinbad. the sailors discovery OF
an elephants burial place, we have no
knowledge of an instinct similar to that of
the huanaco in any other animal So far
as we know, it stands alone and apart,
leading up or suggesting any family like
ness to it. But what chiefly attracts the
mind TO 1t is its strangeness. 1t looks, in
fact, less like an instinct of one of the in
ferior creatures than the superstitious OBJ
serVance of human beings, who have
knowledge of death, and believe in a con-
tinued existence after dissolution of
tribe that in past times had conceived the
idea that the liberated spirit Is only able
to find its way to its future abode by
starting at death from the ancient dying
place of the tribe or family, and thence
moving westward, or skyward. or under
ground, over the well worn immemoriaI

ACCOUNTS VERIFIED IN SECRET
Business Done After Dark by Experts I'm
Figures.


In many a business Office there Is trans
acted business at night of which none of
the employes are aware. It is the auditing
OF DOCKS, a feature of work performed by
several Wcll-known public accountants OF
course, in the majority of such cases the
partners in the concerns have had some
reason TO suspect some of the office force
OF dishonest practices. AT times however
one partner may suspect another or soma
reason may arise where the firm desire TO
ascertain their standing at an unusual time
of the year and without 1t being known to
the bookkeeper, 1T is by no means an un-
usual feature of my work" said a we'll
known public accountant in speakinp
about the matter recently MANY a time
when large mercantile house has closed
for the night and everybody has gone home
my men have entered the store, taken the
books from the safe and worked over them
until daybreak. In such cases they never
touch pen or pencil to the books They
merely verify the figures and transcrlbe
the entries on paper, The result of each
mans work Is kept by itself and turned
over TO another person in my office, who
obtains the final results. Every care is
taken in handling the books and reDIacIng
them in the safe to give no grounds for
suspicion of what is going on. No doubt
many bookkeeper and cashier in this city
would be surprised to peep into his office
at night and find a force of men working
over the books as Familiarity as he and his
fellow clerks have been doing in the day
time for years. The night force speedily
become acquainted with the names of GUS
toners and the pages of the ledger ac-
counts, turning TO them without reference
to the index, like old hands. Sometimes, of
course, the fact of our working at night
over the book never becomes known TO the
clerks. II the accounts are found straight
there is no occasion TO let them know they
had been suspected. At other times they
discover that their figures have been over
hauled when confronted with the unmis-
taxable evidence in figures of their false
