THE LAST APPEARANCE OF MoLlsRr.

f1t Is recorded Of Moliere that on the night
of his death he insisted on going to the thea
ter, as usual, despite the entreaties Of his
friends. to play the "Malade Imaginarie' in or.
der that the workmen might not lose their
wages.l
Did you who sat that night to see
The wizards hand complete its task
Guess at the face Of Tragedy
Which lurked behind the comic maski
Did you, whose plaudits wild and loud
Mixed fate and laughter in breath,
Behold the actor as he bowed,
Crown'd with the cypress wreath Of death'
Across the footlights of the years
That latest scene shines fresh and bright.
Only the lamps are blurred with tears,
Only the laughter fails tonight
And, lo before our startled eyes
Two centuries dwindle to span,
And other silent plaudits rise
Not for the genius, but the man.
Actor, there CLEANS above thy tomb
No censer which the church can swing:
No incense, with its dim perfume,
Haunts thy dark rest with dreams Ct
spring.
But surely blessings more divine
Upon that last appearance fell
And, with the latest bravos thine,
Mingled the angels "It is WE'LL"
And, all unwilling, we today
Tread in thy footsteps, Moliere
We laugh and wonder at the play
Or strut behind the footlishts' glare.
The shouts Of laughter grow more sparse,
The lamps burn dim, the players flee,
And Death takes up our petty farce
And sobors it to tragedy.

No Turkey for Thorn.

"Give sailor pie three times day."
said an old sea captain, 'and he would
still kick" Pie is the alpha and omega
of sailors ideas on luxury of food. The
sailor is naturally suspicious, and the
sea lawyer nurtures this suspicion, as
may be illustrated by the following
vouched-for incident: Some years ago
the whale ship Ohio was cruising in the
northern Pacific waters, and the growls
OF the men against the food had been
long and deep. The skipper of the YES
sci was Capt. Thomas Ellis, and his wife
was aboard. Mrs. Ellis heard the mur-
murs and, womanlike, persuaded the
skipper to let her fix up meal for the
men. He, however, told her that her
efforts would not be appreciated, and
might even cause trouble. Anyhow,
the good woman persisted, and with her
own hands prepared fat turkey and
all the "fixings." The fowl was sent
forward to the forecastle, and Mrs. Ellis
thought the men would for once have
no complaint to make about the dinner.
AS matter of fact, the men hove the
turkey overheard, "for," said their sea
lawyer, something's the matter with

For a Linen Shower.

She is, indeed, a fortunate young WON.
ian whose friends decide to give her the
benefit of a linen shower at her be-
trothal. A linen shower will go fur
ther to give her beautiful things for
her table than any other way devised,
and the embroideries will be doubly
charming as the gifts, perhaps the
work, Of thoughtful friends. But some
times the friends run short Of ideas and
think that one can have enough center
pieces or doilies or bureau scarfs.
Tides" are out of fashion. What gift
in linen can be made which will be at
once novel and pretty? There Is no
lack of things. Picture frames. pin
trays, pin cushions, laundry bags,
nightdress cases, ornamental towels
for looks, not for use; sachets, sofa
cushions-these are a few suggestions.
The necessary linens for table, bed and
toilet are furnished, 1t is to be pre-
sumed, in the trousseau. What the
linen shower provides is only the lux
uries. Everything, therefore, must be
extremely fine and daintily worked. else

presentation is defeated.-N. Y. Her

Judges of the Olympic G.mes.

tribes Of Ellis. They entered upon their
Office ten months before the festival
They were first schooled in the tradi.
tiops and regulations Of the games,
then studied the capacities Of the ath-
letes while they were still in training
They had to decide upon the qualifica-
tions Of the contestants. make up the
programme Of the games, supervise the
preparation Of the scene Of contest, act
as judges in the games, and distribute
the prizes. 1t was position Of honor
and distinction. They came to the con-
test clad in purple robes, and sat in a
tribune opposite the finish Of the races
in the stadium or hippodrome. They
seem to have subdivided the function of
judging, but at least three were present
to judge in every contest. Their deci.
sions were usually final, but an appeal
might be carried to the Olympic senate.
They were assisted in the execution of
their commands by q large and well
organized body Of police. professor
