bushels. Sumac OF hand went too. The
fire went on with fiercenesS, having prac-

There was insurance on the property and

Living pictures have been superseded
in New York During five minutes or
so of the Miss Pygmalion'' pantomime
at Days theatre the spectators are
deeply interested. Expectancy and ap-
prehension are mixed in their minds
Very likely some of them dread what
they imagine Jane May is going to do
This is in the scene where, as the sculp-
tress in love with the statue, she makes
seductive overtures to it. She does not
leave the fact long in doubt that her
love is carnal. She begins by making
wide eyes and enticing gestures at the
stone man, but he remains unaffected
stir. She offers kisses and embraces.
He is still unmoved. In fury of desire
she resolves to tempt the cold fellow by
uncovering her person. Miss May is
a vivid pantomimist, and she makes her
intention clear beyond doubt What
the startled people wonder is how far
she will go in denuding herself Up to
this time she has been wholly enveloped
in an ample robe. She pulls this down
a little from her neck, in amorous CO.
quetry, and readjusts it. She uncovers
her bosom, no lower than good women
do in evening toilettes, yet with a sig
nificance which gives a wholly different
character to the sight. Modesty and
deviltry fight a moment for the mastery.

Deviltry wins. She strips the outer
garment open from hem to hem, etaoin
garment from throat to hem. and shows
herself in white drapery, the lower half
of which is so soft and sleazy that her
legs are plainly outlined at every move
ment of them. The statue evinces no
responsive emotion. She is resentful.
discouraged. exhausted. Miss May
comes from Paris, where extremely
wicked things are done on the stage.
Will she amaze the assemblage by any
further exploit? No. She sinks into a
chair and falls asleep. The statue be-
comes alive, steps from the pedestal,
and goes toward the ardent woman.
Then the curtain is let down.

AN EXPENSIVE FLOGGING.

John James Mage, a quiet, middle.
aged man, has had a career as romantic
as that of Monte Cristo. Mage is now
Guatemalan millionaire. who lives
nine months of the year in Paris
Twenty years ago he was poor Eng.
lish collector of insects in Guatemala
and also acted as the British vice. Con,
sui at San Jose.
One day Commandante Gonzales or.
dered Mage to appear before him.
Mage sent word that he would come in
short time. This incensed the com.
mandante, and he sent file of soldiers
after Mage, and, when the insect col.
lector appeared. ordered seventy-fye
lash es to be laid upon his bare back.
This was done very thoroughly, and
when it was finished, Gonzales
shouted
"Give him twenty-five more for
luck.
When Mayo recovered, which was
only after careful nursing, as his back
was badly cut up, he made formal
complaint to the British Government.
The result was that Guatemala was
ordered TO punish Gonzalez and to pay
Mayo $500 $500 for every lash he
had received. In default of this Eng
llsh cruisers would shell San Jose and
other coast cities.
Guatemala readily punished Con-
zalez, but tried hard to evade paying
$50, 900 to Mage. The British, how
ever, were memorable, and the poor
collector was made comparatively
rich man in one day. As he had more
coin than any one in the country at
that time. President Barrios went into
partnership with him.
Mage became one of the largest cof-
fee planters and also secured the con-
tract for building docks in the ports.
No one can land or leave one of these
docks without paying toll to Mage,
while he also levies tax on all freight.
He also owns valuable mines and tracts
of timber. His fortune is estimated at
100000, all due to one hundred
lashes on his back.-Chilean Times.

HOW TO WALK UP STAIRS.

"There are but very few people who
know how to walk up stairs properly, u
said a we1l-known physician yesterday.
Usually person will tread on the
ball of his foot in taking each step,
springing himself up to the next step.
This is very tiresome and wearing on
the muscles as it throws the entire
suspended weight Of the body on the
muscles of the legs and feet. You
should in walking or climbing stairs
seek for the most equal distribution of
the body's weight possible In walk
ing up stairs your feet should be placed
squarely down ON the step, heel and
all. and then the work should be per-
formed slowly and deliberately. In
this way there is no strain upon any
particular muscle, but each one is do
ing its duty in natural manner. The
man who goes upstairs with spring
ing step you may be sure is no philos-
opher or at least. his reasoning has not
been directed to that subject. Pitts

ILLUMINATING MEN-OF-WAR.

From present signs, electricity seems
likely to play as prominent part in
naval and military displays as in the
active prosecution of the wars of the
future. The spectacular display by the
American warships at Kiel, which has
been arranged by the Navy Department
will be remarkable, both for it's scope
and its designs. Each of the four ships
that will take part in the night illumi-
nation is provided with two or more
powerful search lights, and each will
be studded with thousands of incandes-
cent lights. Before the pilot house
of each ship there will be special de-
coration of an immense shield. repre-
senting the American coat of arms, the
red and white bars and the stars on a
blue background being reproduced by
electric lamps. The name of each ship
will be brilliantly displayed in large,
stern. Incandescent lights will also
be strung along the sides and along the
deck rails. Lights will be placed
along the water line on each side. thus
outlining the hull. and lamps will be
strung up the masts and down the side
stays, and up and down and around the
tops of the smokestacks. The New
York is to have at least 1000 lamps
burning. and the other three ships will
use about 1, 800 each. The electric
shields will be brilliant sight. 1t

Shiny they became tough and bright

DO FLIES TALK?

An ingenious inquirer, armed with g
microphone, or sound magnifier, has
been listening patiently through long
hours to the curious noises made by
house flies. and reports his belief that
they have language of their own.
The language does not consist of the
buzzing sound we ordinarily hear,
which is made by the rapid vibration
of their wings in the air, but of q
smaller. finer and more widely modu-
lated series of sounds. audible to their
human ear Only by the aid of the
microphone. Probably this fly CONVEX
sation is perfectly audible to the fly
ears. which. as every schoolboy knows.
who has tried to move his hand slowly
upon them, are very acute. The hope
is expressed that, since the heretofore
inaudible whispers of flies have been
detected and recorded, some inventor
may construct microphone which will
enable us to make out the language of
the microbes, and SO surprise them in
the horrible secret of their mode of
operations. Public Opinion.
