HER BARN sToRMINo TOUR.

Mary Anderson de Navarro Recounts IN
Incident Of Her Early Stage Career.
Mary Anderson de Navarro looks back
with evident enjoyment upon what she
calls the transforming" period Of her
stage career, which. however, in her
case was short, beneficial and pecunis-
rily profitable. OF her experiences in
Owensboro, small Kentucky town,
where she and her little band Of actors
played for week, Mrs. de Navarro
writes in The Ladies' Home Journal:
81 was tall, slender Juliet and my
Romeo proved to be a plump. pleasant
little woman, probably the mother Of
several would be Romeos and Juliets.
The moon she (Romeo) swore by we
found to be the headlight of q railway
engine hired for the occasion. This was
held by small negro boy perched upon
. ladder, who was so amused by the play
that he laughed until he shook over the
most tragic scenes. His mirth, as may
be imagined, was not conducive to the
moons steadiness. At one time she was
shining in an upper box, at another on
the head Of a bald musician. often
binding the unfortunates in the front
stalls, here. there. everywhere save on
the face of her t'Verona's lovely flower')
she had been especially hired to illumi-
nate. The conductor Of the orchestra
was a carpenter by trade, and sawed
away as Justify during the day at the
boards he was converting into profile
statues of 'Evndne's' noble ancestors as
he sawed upon his violin at night"

Queer Belief About tn. Fern.

The fern was supposed to seed only on
st. Johns night and thus to possess
those singular properties for which it
had become almost sacred. The gather
ing of the seed was believed to be at
tended with considerable danger. Povet.
in his "Pandemonium, published in
1854, says: "Much discourse hath been
about gathering Of fern seed (which is
looked upon as magical herb) on the
night Of midsummer's eve. and re-
member I was told of one who went to
gather it, and the spirits whisked by his
ears like bullets and sometimes struck
his hat and other parts Of his body. In
fine, though he apprehended he had got
ten a quantity of it and secured 1t in pa
pers and box beside, when he got home
he found all empty. But most probable
this appointing Of time and hours is Of
the DEVILS own institution, rs we'll ms the
fact that having once ensnared people to
an obedience to his rules lie may with
more facility oblige them to stricter
vassalage. boston Herald

The two men shook hands and sat
down on q convenient log. both being
near the middle Of a. After Q abort

Red Jacket said pleasantly. Move

Mr.. Ellioott did as ne had besn no
quested. and the chief moved up olose TO
him. In few minutes came q second
request, Move along, Joe"
Again Mr.. Ellicott complied, though
with considerable surprise, and again the
chief followed him closely. Scarcely had
this been done when Red Jacket again
said, Move along, joe"
Mr.. Ellicott was greatly annoyed. bat
willing to humor the chief be moved
along" once more, this time reaching
the end Of the log.
This was not sufficient to satisfy the
chief. however, for moment later came
the fourth request, "Move along. JoA"
"Why, man." cried the agent irrits-
bly,, II can't move any farther withous

The following incident happened at
the Criterion theater In London the 9TH
or evening. At the end Of one Of the
scenes Mr.. Wyndham tells a fellow actor
to 60 down stairs and be will follow
him in three minutes. Then, as he takes
out his watch, the curtain should de-
scend. On this occasion, however. IL
failed to do so. and the Squire Of Danes
reclined on the sofa, patiently waiting.
An almost painful pause occurred. The
curtain jerked. but would not fulfill its
mission, and Mr.. Wyndham, realizing
the situation, again pulled out his
watch, and said. "Ah, two minutes
have passed" There was another pause.
after which he arose and announced
that "the time was up and he must GO.
As he left the stage the curtain at last
descended. and Mr.. wyndham's ready
wit was much applauded. - London

Even Saxon courtesy and readiness -

When about TO return from Bohemian

occupants Of a sledse had their foot

and joking at the success Of their little
dodge, they called ut wayside inn for

one Of the party exclaimed:

eccLssI.s rcAL ROME.
A Always Present Power That Gives the
City Its Importancs.

A Always Present Power That Gives the
City Its Importance
"Ecclesiastic" Rome Is the strong
hold Of a most tremendous fact from
whatever point of view Christianity
may be considered. II one could in i'm
agination detach the head Of the Catho-
lie church from the church, one would
be obliged to admit that no single living
man possesses the farreaching and last
ing power which in each succeeding pa
pal reign belongs to the pope. Behind
the pope stands the fact which confers,
maintains and extends that power from
century to century, power which is
one Of the hugest elements Of the
worlds moral activity, both in its own
direct action and in the confederation
and antagonism which 1t calls forth
continually.
1t is the all pervading presence of this
greatest fact, literally. in Christendom
which has carried on Rome's importance
from the days of the Caesars across the
chasm of the dark ages to the days of
modern popes, and IL is this really enor-
nous Importance which continually
throws forward into cruel relief the
puerilities and inanities of the daily
outward world. 1t is the consciousness
of that Importance which makes old Ro-
man society what il is, with its virtues,
its vices. its prejudices and its strange,
old fashioned, close listed kindliness,
which makes the contrast between the
saturnalia of Shrove Tuesday night and
the cross signed with ashes upon the
forehead of Ash Wednesday morning,
between the careless laughter Of the Ro-
man beauty in carnival and the tragic
earnestness Of the same lovely face when
the great lady kneels in Lent before the
confessional to receive upon her bent
head the light touch Of the penitentiary's
wand, taking her turn perhaps with
score Of women of the people. 1t is the
knowledge of an always present power,
active throughout the whole world,
which throws deep, straight shadows, as
IL were, through the Roman character,
just as in certain ancient families there
Is secret that makes grave the lives Of
those who know it.-Marion Crawford
in Century.
