IMITATION OF DEATH
That on the Stage OutrageousIy
Violates Nature.

a French dramatic critic, with some
show of medical knowledge. represents
that nearly all actors and actresses out
rageousIy violate nature in their imita-
tious OF death. He cites, in corr boration
of his charge, the customary theatrical
death of Camille, the younger Dumas IA
v0rite emotional play of that title.
According TO the author, bzs heroine is
affected with pulmonary consumption, and
an incidental attack Of hemorrhage of the
lungs extinguishes her life. There Is alb
solutely nothing dramatic to be made out
of this mode of dying. II fidelity to fact
be obeyed. The gushing of stream of
blood from the mouth would be realistic,
but the imitation of such phenomenon
is never made by actors, male Or female,
nor would any discreet manager tolerate
such piece of stage business. Again, the
overwhelming suffocation which produces
the rapid death in Candles case Is never
accompanied by commissions, such as her
dying representatives on the stage almost
always assume. In natural death from.
this cause he sufferer simply collapses
from failure of the vital powers.
Theatrical poisoning scenes are also
usually untrue to nature. 1t is popularity
believed that when a fatal dose of lauda-
mum or morphine is swallowed the victim
Immediately sinks into death-like sleep,
as is commonly seen on the stage, whereas
the first effect of this poison taken in like
quantities is invariably to excite and en-
liven.
Nor Is the mode of diving after the hack
neyed cardiac stage-stab IN conformity
wi IN the laws of nature. The actor simply
falls at full length, or in heap. whereas
the everyday member of society gives a
spring when the heart is struck before en-
terlng eternity by this unhappy gate
Even the modern Othello has not Inherited
enough of Shakespeare's wonderful fidelity
to truth TO die naturally after a stab
through the heart-Cincinnati Fnnuirar

which left San Francis CO at S:15 this

. HEALDSBURG, Jan. 5.-The storm here
has been The most severe ever known,
Rain poured down all night the night of
the 4th, and more rain has fallen than
ever was known here. The creeks and
streams were badly swollen and were much
higher than during the storm of five years
ago.
No accurate estimate of the damage can
yet be made, although it is considerable.
Many families suffe red inconvenience by
being penned in all day long. and in many
instances they were compelled to take
refuge on the beds and other articles of
furniture TO keen from getting wet.
The electric-light power-house and the
gas works were both submerged. No loss
OF life occurred. though many people were
reported to be in very dangerous posi-
tions. Several cows and horses were
drowned and much lumber and fencing
carried away.

ROYAL LINEN.
Some Interesting Facts About the
Way IL Is Lauudered.

The imperial family at Berlin have all
their washing done at the ordinary metro
polltan laundries, matter which is a
source of much annoyance to the Empress,
Tor when she visited the Augusta Hospital
the other day she was enthusiastic in her
admiration of The laundry department, and
remarked that she would give anything to
have something of the same kind fitted up
at the palace, aOd, on seeing the ast0nlshed
looks of all those around her, she con-
tinued: "Yes, il is so; am obliged to
send out all the washing. even that of the
children. to be washed in the city, which
causes 10 end of Inconvenience"
The members OF the British royal fam
lily all have their linen washed at special
esta bllshment maintained for the pur-
pose in the outskirts of London, near
H0unslow, and, no matter where they
happen to be, whether at Balmoral or
Osborne. the royal linen is dis
patched thither. Public attention was
drawn to this fact a few years
ago by strike of the employees, who COM
planned Of being underpaid. The work
is most perfectly &C omplished, and the
bleaching is done in the open air only, in
stead OF arti1cially, which is impossible
in London. owing to the sOOty character
of the atmosphere.
The Empress Eugene remains on record
as the only crowned head parsimonious
enough TO have torn linen mended,
and no less than fifteen seamstresses
were kept in the permanent estab-
lishmen of the Tuilerles household
for this purpose. AT the English,
Berlin. Viennese. Spanish and Russian
courts all torn linen is ut once Withdrawn
from use, stored away and distributed in
immense bales to the various hosp tails and
charitable institutions from time to time

A tiasheesh Club.

The Rasheesh Club is not known by
that name to its mem bers, nor TO the Loo
don directory. but that will serve as we'll as
any other. This club is a coterie of foolish
young men, which holds occasional meet
iDgs in order to indulge In haSheesh-an
oriental drug something of the nature of
opium, of which the effects are very SINH
lar. Those who read The scene in the cav
ern of Monte Cristo can imagine what gues
on at these symposia. The room where
they take place is fitted up in orien tai
fashion and the walls are lined with COM
Portable dlvans and armchairs. Reclining
in these the members of The club Dartake
of certain globules, which are handed
round. When the drug begins To work
they fall into mOtionless delirium, during
which they enjoy visions of the most en-
tranciug character, and imagine them
selves the heroes of the most deligh full
adventures. The club, in fact, exists
merely to enable few foolish bows
to Indulge in deleterious habit which
they do not wish to beco me known to
their friends. -Pittsburg Tim es.

Another Yakima irrigation enterprise
went into the hands OF receiver during
the past week, and the fact has forced
itself upon the mind of the public that
none OF these big ventures have proven
profitable to the inceptors or those finan-
cially interested. Never doubt arises
but what by irrigation the greatest sue
cess in farming is attained, nor that the
irrigation companies would find their
projects profitable were their lands under
cultivation and their water employed.
These conditions, however, do not exist,
and in almost every instance the fixed
charges exceed the revenues. The
trouble arises primarily from a lack OF
population-from a scarcity of tillers OF
the soil. Hardly one acre in ten is occu-
pied and bringing returns ON the invest
ments, and SO cogently has this been i'm
pressed upon our citizens of late that
plans are being formed for determined
effort to induce immigration to Yakima
and to bring under settlement and cult
walton the vast bodies OF fertile though
vacant lands in these valleys. 1t 10 pro-
posed TO ask the receivers and managers
of the irrigation companies to make a
pool for expenses and then send q dele
CATION Of well informed and persuasive
citizens to the thrifty though crowded
agricultural districts OF the middle states,
and endeavor to persuade farmers and
the hardy sons of farmers to see, in the
light we recognize, the advantages offered
by the volcanic-ash soil OF Yakima,
when once made glad under the science
of irrigation and intelligent cultivation.
These citizens are to devote q couple or
three months to this work, without pay !;
although their necessary expenses are to
be met out of the general fund. Already
several prominent and well qualified citi-
zens have volunteered their services in
this good cause, for they recognize in the
success of the irrigation enterprises the
prosperity of the country and the result
ant thrift Of the people. The plans
should be carried out without unneces-
sary delay.
