Sir Henry Irvine's Magnanimity.

The changes Of fortune place people
sometimes in peculiar and embarrassing
positions. A good story is told of Sir
Henry Irving, the famous actor. When
young man, earning his laurels and
comparatively unknown, Shakespeare
play MUCH Ado About Nothing'' was
about to be presented to the public by
certain manager of prominence. Irving
had part assigned to him, which he
diligently studied. Letter perfect in his
lines, he felt assured of ultimate sue
cess, but unfortunately the manager
disliked his acting of it and took occa-
zion to censure him before the company,
much to his modification. Furthermore,
the manager took the part away and
gave him another, less prominent, but
more difficult.
Years went by, and Irving steadily
climbed to a fame that brought him
knighthood, while the critical manager
gradually lost ground. One day, shortly
after Irving announced his intention of
producing Much Ado About Nothing,'
the old manager presented himself and
asked that part be assigned to him.
Irving granted the request and gave
him the very part he had forced him to
play years before. During rehearsal
Irving narrowly watched the managers
acting and at the conclusion went up to
him and shook his hand after gravely
complimenting him upon his rendering
Of the part. Then he promoted him to
the part from which he had been re-
duced. II never knew what GOALS of
fire. meant till then," was the remark
Ehich the old actor and manager was
overheard to make when Irving retired.

Teaching Children.

Noah Webster of dictionary fcme
would not have been in favor of the
kindergarten, SO people who sometimes
revert to the beginning of the un-
abridged edition find by his memoirs
there. HE felt, the writer says, "that
children should learn to acquire knowl-
edge by severe effort; that the prevail
ing effort to make everything easy is un-
philosophical and wrong; that the great
effort of early training is to form the
mind into capacity of surrounding
intellectual difficulties of any and ev-
cry kind. He wished at an early
period Of ready memory and limited
comprehension to store the mind with
many things which would afterward
be found Of indispensable use, things
which are learned with the utmost re-
luctance, or rather in most cases are not
learned at all, in the more advanced
stages of intellectual progress. He felt
there must necessarily be much of
drudgery in the formation of thor
oughly educated mind ''-New York

Points For POachers.

The West Indian negro is a born
poacher. He catches the quail by the
cruel expedient Of strewing finely pow
dered cayenne or bird pepper in the lit
tie dust pits where the birds "wash. -
The burning powder gets into the eyes
of the birds, which, confused and help
less, are then easily caught.
When he wants wholesale supply of
fish, he explodes piece of dynamite,
which was probably intended for the
making of new government roads, over
hole in mountain stream, and the
fish are killed by the conclusion.
But his favorite resource is the bark
of the dogwood tree. This he drops in.
to river hole, and the mullet, intoxi.
Gated, comes to the surface of the water.
This singular property of the dogwood
has caused it to be employed as mar,
cotic. 1t is particularly useful as 10.
cal an@sthetic, and it has been recent
~ proposed to apply it in dentistry

The Emerald Isle is not the only hab-
itat of bulls, and the connection be-
tween the Gallo and Celtic races must
be close indeed, if the following gems,
given upon no less al, authority than
that of the Journal des Tribunaux as
emanations of the judicial mind in
France are to be considered genuine:
''Justice is not clandestine cavern
where people are strangled behind their
Backs"

Sailed Ore.

It is not generally known that it is
possible to salt ore with gold just as it
is possible for an INSCRIPTIONS man to
salt the mine in which gold is found.
In the one case the fraud is compara-
lively easy to detect, while in the other
it would defy even all expert, and there
fore shareholders, induced by the over
flattering reports of perfectly honest
assayer, could be readily taken in. The
gentleman who demonstrated this pos
sibility is Mr.. J. G.. johnson of Ade-
laide, Australia, who, making expert
ments with different salts of gold,
found that he could produce quite
natural looking specimens of gold bear
ing quartz from stones whose previous
assay showed that they contained no
particle Of gold. Furthermore, the gold
penetrates the stone in the most natural
manner possible. Indeed, pieces of this
artiflcially produced gold quartz were
exhibited some little time ago at the
Imperial institute in Edinburgh. Pear

The Actor and the Man.

Great painters, sculptors, musicians
and actors are careful not to lose their
heads in the tumult of their emotions.
Edwin Booth, SO far as is known, never
threw himself into his character but on
one occasion, and then he was playing
Bertuccio in ''The Kings Fool" It is
related that he came off the stage at
the conclusion of the performance con-
WINGED that he had surpassed all of his
previous efforts, and that he was ex-
cited, thrilled, tingling with the emo
tions of the character into which he
had blindly cast himself, but his daugh-
ter, Edwina Booth, who had been sit
ting in stage box, told him she had
never seen him act SO badly. For that
one performance Booth deliberately had
chosen to be the man and not the art

A PROCESSION Of Worms.

In some Of the Hungarian forests an6
in the pine woods Of Norway there ex.
lists tiny, wormlike INSECT called the
sciara, Of the genus tipula. During the
month of July or early in August they
gather together in large numbers, pre-.
paratory to- nigrating in search of food
or for change of condition. When sat.
ting out ON this journey, they stick
themselves together by means of some
glutinous m after and form a huge SER
pent-like mass, often reaching length
of between 40 and 30 feet and several
inches in thickness. AS the sciara is
only on an average about three thirty
seconds of all inch in length, with no
appreciable breadth whatever, the num-
Der required to compose a continuous
line of the size above mentioned is al
most incalculable. Their pace is, of
course, very slow, and upon meeting
an obstacle, such as a stick or stone,
they will either writhe over or around
it, sometimes breaking into two bodies
for this purpose.
M. Guerin- Meneville, a celebrated
French naturalist, says that if the rear
portion of this wonderful snakelike
procession be brought into contact with
the front part and sort of circle formed
the insects will keep moving round in
that circle for hours without apparently
noticing that they are getting no "for-
raider" on their journey. If the process
sion be broken in two, the portions will
reunite in short time. The Norwegian
peasants, when they meet one of these
trains. will lay some article Of their
clothing, such as belt or handker-
chief, on the ground in front of it. If
the procession passes over it, it is re-
garded as good sign, but if it makes a
way round the reverse is believed. In
the Moravian districts similar expert
ment is supposed to foretell a good or
bad harvest. Popular Science.

The Awful Garth Fish.

A traveller in Venezuela gives an in
teresting description of the fish of the
Orinoco country. He says the party sew
eral times came in contact with the
carib fish, which are the most ferocious
inhabitants of the water known. The
fish are not over IA inches long, but
they travel in schools. Their teeth are
three cornered. Any living object which
attracts their attention is attacked with
fury. Mr.. Thompson tells Of an Indian
woman who entered the water to fill a
bucket. She was attacked by the fish
and reached shore only to die in Is
minutes. The flesh vas literally torn
from her body. Mr.. Dart, who was
with MIR. Thompson, c:;< - one of the
fish and pulled it upon the bank. He
held the carib under his foct while he
pointed at the peculiar teeth with his
finger. With quick movement the car
ib Topped ont from under Mr.. Darts
foot and seized him by the finger, cut
ting that member to the bone. The fish
frequently have been known to bite or
binary tishhooks in two.
Another fish which the party often
came across was the morocoto, the fla
vor of which is like Lake Superior
whiteish, only more delicate. The mo-
rocoto is provided with molar teeth and
subsists Oh vegetable matter, which it
thoroughly masticates before swallow
ing. Another peculiar creature found
was the morocoy, a species of land tur-
tie, which at night utters a cry of won
derful sweetness, plaintive and Clear
