on the Danes. Of course he had to live
roughly and must deny himself his up
right piano for his country's good
In order to obtain more thorough
knowledge of the Danes and their num-
Der, he distinguished himself as harper
or portable orchestra and visited the
Danish camp, where he was introduced
to Guthrun and was invited to BAN
quet, where he told several new anec-
dotes and spoke in such a humorous
way that the army was sorry to see him
go away and still sorrier when, few
days later, armed cap-a-pie, he mopped
up the greensward with his enemy and
secured the best of terms from him.
While incog. Alfred stopped at hut,
where he was asked to turn the pam
cakes as they required it, but in the abb
sence of the hostess he got to thinking
of esoteric subjects, or something pro-
found, and allowed the cakes to burn.
The housewife returned in time to ex-
press her sentiments and large box to
his address.
He now converted Guthrun and had
him immersed, which took first rate
and other Danes got immersed. Thus
the national antagonism to water was
overcome, and today the English who
are descended from the Danes are not
appalled, at the sight of water.
AS a result Of Guthrun's conversion
the Danes agreed to permanent settle
ment along the exposed portion of Great
Britain, by which they became uncon-
sciously living rampant between the
SaXons and other incursionists.
Now peace began to reign up to 693,
and Alfred improved the time by re-
building the desolated cities-London
especially, which had become a sight to
behold. A new stock law, requiring
the peasantry to shut up their unicorns
during certain seasons of the year and
keep them out of the crops, also protect
ing them from sportsmen while she'd
ding their horns in spring or molting,
it is said, was passed, but the English
historians are such great jokers that the
writer has had much difficulty in GULL

sifage from these writings.

victory over the Danes, at Kent only a
few years, when he died greatly lament

Couleur de Rose.

There is a story told of an English
woman whose husband was in politics,
and who was in consequence obliged
10 entertain numerous people in whom
she not only felt no possible interest,
but many of whom were absolutely dis
tasteful to her. 1t was exceedingly try
ing at times, this being forced to well
come unwelcome visitors with show
Of cordiality, but subtle plan of re-
venge, which would at the same time
afford her amusement, finally occurred
to her. At the next large dinner that
she and her husband gave the room was
lighted by little electric lights with
coiored globes, which were suspended
from the ceiling and hung above the ta-
bic in big circle. Upon such of the
guests as had been the lady's choice q
soft, rosy light was cast, making men
and women alike appear at their best,
while here and there ghastly green rays
fell upon some unfortunate constituent
of her husband who was too much inn
pressed by the magniicence of the feast
to have any thought for his or her ap-

First Electric Light In a Theater.

1t is believed that the first electric
light installed in an American theater
was Jablochkoff candle, used as TO-
cusing lamp i'll the old California the
ater, i'll Bush street, San Francisco, in
1878. The managers of the theater at
that time We're Messrs Barton & Hill,
General Barton and Frank Lawler. The
play was "Antony and Cleopatra, Rose
Eytinge and Cyril Searle taking the
leading parts. Mr.. A. I'll. Reece was the
engineer in charge of the work.
Time has worked complete revolu-
tion i'll theatrical lighting. and today
there is not theater in the United
States which could dispense with the
electric light.
