A Question OF Chintz,

Sims Reeves, the English tenor, has
Just been recalled to the public mind in
singular fashion; for, at the age of "a
he has emerged from his retirement.
and gone again upon the stage.
In the entire history Of musical an
there Ia no other case Of 20 long and so
successful q career as bis. Neverthe-
less the kindliest critics agree that he
should not have invited comparison OF
the voice he has with the voice he had.
Reeves was always the most eccen-
tric and perverse Of singers. Innumera-
BILE stories are told Of his audacity in
breaking engagements. In 1893 Col
Mapleson had announced him to sing
In London, and on the first day of the
engagement received a telegram from
Reeves. who was on his way to town,
expressing his surprise that he had
been advertised for that evening when
the engagement was for the following
one
The manager Mt once hurried to
Reeves house, and learned that dinner
had been ordered for half-past Z. He
told the butler that the time had been
changed, and that the meal must be
served at midnight instead. He then
went to meet the tenor, who was ac-
companicd by his wife, at the Euston
railway station.
While Mrs. Reeves busted herself
about the luggage Col. Mapleson got
thes tenor to himself, and explained
his difficulty. but it is quite impossi.
bic for me to sing this evening"" was
the answer. II have ordered my dinner
at home"
Col Mapleson explained that he had
postponed dinner for a few hours, and
that light meal was being prepared
for him in the dressing room Of the
theater The suddenness of the propo-
sltion seemed to amuse the tenor. He
laughed, and actually gave a half prom.
ise that II his wife consented, he would
sing. At that moment his wife ap-
peared, and the matter was explained
20 her
Its all nonsense" she exclaimed;
"MaplesOn is willing to ruin you by
forcing you to sing"
She then went on to ask how any one
could possibly think of such a thing.
when the chintz and crumb cloth Of his
room had not been arranged.
1t had always been her custom to
hang the walls with new chintz, and
place a fresh damask cloth on the floor,
on the nights when her husband sang.
and on this occasion tho sacred hang
ings had gone to the wash. That set
tied the matter, and Reeves did not sing
that night.

PHENOMENAL SPRINTER.

fellow who created such n sensation
before one Of the biggest crowds ever

to be one Of the fastest sprinters Amer

70 be good ground for the confident ex-

One Way to Put IL.

Many OF the sayings and doings Of
the Southern negro, that find their way
into print. may be apocryphal, but
enough are known to be true to make
good his claim to humOr A gentleman
discussing coon-huntinS relates an in
cident, in Forest and Stream, that Illus
rates this characteristic drollery.
The party, consisting Of hunters
dogs. axes and torches galore, had been
hunting for a good part Of the night
without any luck whatever. Finally,
the dogs treed n coon. 1t would take
some time to fell so large a tree, and
one Of the negroes volunteered to climb
it and ascertain the wherea bouts of the
.oon.
All agreed to this, and sat around to
await developments. Soon after the
negro had disappeared among the
branches, a peculiar sound was heard
from the top of the tree. 1t was n kind
of mixture of negro and coon dialect
Some one ventured the remark:
"Bill, have you got that coon?'
"Yes. sah," was the reply, Use 60,
dis here coon; but I wish you'd send
some O. dem darkies up here to help mo
turn him loose"

trousers, gazing up vacantly at the
bronze statue of the martyr Nathan
Hale.
What a soft snap TINT feller's got
anyhow" he presently remarked.
'standin' there all day long, wild th,l
trees n shadin' him, nothin' to do, no
cop to make him move on, nothin' to-
eat, nothin' to drink''-there the chain
If thought suddenly ceased-"nothin'
to drink! I'd be a statue myself II it
wasn't for that. What n snap 1t would
oe"
And then speculation ripened into ac
ton. John proceeded over to the base
Of the pedestal. 'I'll try it." he said
MY other engagements can wait" A
fat broker mopping the perspiration
from his chubby cheeks hurried along
up Broadway. He glanced from right
to left and his eyes rested complacently
on the leafy greenery Of the park. Sud
denly he halted.
"Shades OF ADe Lincoln" he gasped
awe-stricken. On the bronze pedestal
whence Hale, the martyr, had looked
down over the passing show was perch
ed figure-a figure grotesQue in its
simplicity. Nothing more strange, in
deed, than poor, addle-headed John
Doe, his arms folded heroically across
his red undershtrt. And yet, he was
attracting the rapt attention Of n
throng. So he played the statue faith
fully, until park policeman yanked
him down by the foot and took him off
to the station.

Tahiti ami Expericnce Play = Part In

II we ask ourselves just how 1t is
hat we see, hear and receive impress
.iOns from the senses. we shall soon
discover two things. The first IL that
ne explanation we see with our eyes"
We hear with our ears" etc, Is not
,uite satisfactory. 1t is easy enough
TO explain how certain rays Of light
impinge on the retina Of the eye, and
certain waves Of air on the drum Of the
car; but how these purely physical
things are converted into purely psy-
chical things Of sight and hearing NO
one can explain.
Our second discovery will be that /,
IS not by the eye alone that we see, or
by the ear alone that we hear. Mem
Dry. or, rather, experience or habit,
plays great part in all sensations,
though we do not often notice 1t. unless
our attention Is drawn to the fact by
some circumstance that puts experience
at fault. and thus produces a sense
Illusion.
Have you ever noticed, for instance.
ho" you ~ ACSoSshA1C
the position Of sounds? II one made
noise at little distance from you. you
could instantly tell from what direction
1t came, because experience has taught
yOu to Judge Of this matter through the
very slight difference In the intensity
Of sound In your two ears. An expert
rent will readily prove this.
Stop up the left ear firmly with cot
tOn-woOl, and go into dark room with
someone else who carries n bell. Let
the other person strike the bell in diff
ferent parts Of the room, yourself re-
still. No matter where the
bell is, 1t will always seem TO you to
sound on your right side, even though
it may actually be near the left ear.
Persons deaf in one ear can never tell
whence a sound comes. 1t takes tws
ears to do this.

CIGAR WRAPPERS FROM MEXICO
Their Use Not Yet Increased by the
Present Troubles in Cuba.

Their Use Not Yet Increased by the
Present Troubles in Cuba.
There is a growing idea among smok-
ers that, owing to the trobules in Cuba.
there will be n scarcity Of Cuban leaf
tobacco, which will soon affect both the
quality and quantity of domestic clear
Havana cigars, and a rumor is prevail
ent that already many of the so-called
clear Havanas are covered with Mexf-
can tobacco, and that 1t cannot be de-
tected by experts. The best-informed
persons In the trade deny this rumor,
and state that most of the large Ameri-
can firms have enough Cuban tobacco
to last them for a year or more, and
that there is little or no tobacco in
Mexico suitable for the fastitdious
smoker. They say, also, that Mexican
tobacco is detected easily at sight, and
while 1t may be possible in future years
to produce tobacco for wrappers which
will compete with the Cuban article, 1t
will be long time coming, as up to
date no effort has been made by the
Mexican growers to cater to this mar
ket. The Mexican leaf is thicker and
duller in appearance, without the rich
gloss Of the Cuban variety SO attrac-
tive to American smokers. What Is
still more to the point, 1t rapidly de-
teriorates In appearance after being
worked up into cigars. Still another
reason is that all the available Mexi-
can wrappers worth anything are
called for by the Mexican trade, one
firm Of which Is said to be under con-
tract with Englishmen for 100000
cigars every two weeks.
The government statistics also give
an important hint in this matter. The
total export of filler tobacco from
Mexico for 1888 was only 4S, ,451 pounds,
Of a value of 1,456; in 1894, $3.50
pounds. valued at $1S.507, while the
total amount Of wrapper tobacco for
1895 was but thirteen pounds, valued
at 81. This country. imported from
Cuba in 1903 Fl ,604 ,S91 pounds, valued
at $s,94O, ,O68; in 1894, some 14,57S, 900
pounds, valued at $685., ,964, and in
1896 some 20, LAT 900 pounds, valued at
81 ,238, ,474. The total amount of i'm
ported wrapper tobacco from Cuba
paying duty into the United States
treasury during 1905 was 2S, $50
pounds, valued at $38,32O. These are
the facts In the matter, and as soon as
Mexican tobacco begins to come in for
use on domestic-made clear Havana
cigars its arrival will be shown in the
weekly tables Of imports published in
trade and shipping organs. What is
7ery likely Is that the consumer of Hav-
Anas cigars will soon have to face a
iarker tobacco on his cigars than he |
las been wishing for lately.-New York
