"Staight from the Heart" as it's title
would imply, is intended to be OF that
class of plays, wherein the "Heart In
terest'' holds supreme. tits the work OF
Sutton Vane and Arthur Shirley, who
are recognized in England az the fore
most authors Of this claes Of melodrama.
"Straight from the Heart" is story
startling with murder. In the second
act, there lie wedding on shiphoari and
then. because of the murder, the hero
and heroine are pursued by misfortune
and unpappiness. There is villain of
the old school who manages to appear
from time to time, just in season to
snatch the cup of happiness from the lips
of the bride and bridegroom. As the
play progresses there is a fire on the
ship which is burned to the waters edge
and only the captain, who is the BRIDES
father: the hero and heroine and the
william escape death. They are thrown
ashore on the wild coast of Algiers, and
narrowly escape starvation, but are rec
cued by the French police, who arrest
the hero for the murderer, at the insti-
cation of the villain.
The last act is in Paris. The hero has
been condemned to the guillotine, but
the heroine saves his life at the last
moment and the villain, the real murder
er finds himself in the hands OF the law
and all ends happily.

THE RUsHMAN.s TACTICS.

How the Apache of Africa Hunts the
Ostrich. v
Inc Bushman divests himself of all
his membranes; water vessels, food,
cloak, assegai and sandals are all left
behind. Stark naked, except for the
hide patch about his middle, and, arm
ed only with his bow, arrows and knife,
he sets forth. The nearest ostrich is
feeding more than a mile away, and
there is no covert but the long, sun
dried, yellow grass, but that is enough
1or the Bushman. Worming himself
over the ground with the greatest eau
ton, he crawls fiat on his belly to-
ward the bird. No serpent could trav-
erse the grass with less disturbance
IN the space of an hour and half he
mas approached within hundred
yards of the tall bird. Nearer he dare
not creep on this bare plain, and at
more than twenty-five PAGES he cannot
trust his light reed arrows. He lies
partially hidden in the grass, his bow
and AFRO VS. ready in front of him,
trusting that the ostrich may draw
nearer. 1t is long wait under the
blazing sun, close on two hours, but
MS instinct serves him, and at last, as
the sun shifts little, the great ostrich
reeds that way. 1t is magnificent
male bird, jet black as to it's body
plumage, and adorned with magnificent
White feathers upon the wings and tail.
kWaneet's eyes glisten, but he moves
not musclce. Thirty PAGES, twenty
i've, then twenty. There is a light
musical twang ucpon the hot air and a
tiny, yellowish arrow sticks well into
the breast of the gigantic bird. The
ostrich feels sharp pang and turns
at once. In that same instant Sec
ond arrow is lodged in it's side, just
under the wing feathers. Now the
stricken bird raises its wings from it's
body and speeds forth into the plain
But Kwaneet is quite content. The
poison of those two arrows will do it's
work effectually. He gets up, follows
the ostrich, tracking it, after it has
DISAPPEARED from sight, by it's spoor, and
in two hours the game lies there before
him amid the grass, dead as a stone.

A Striking Anagram.

In the time of Charles l. of England
the making of anagrams-usually on
the names of people in the company
was a fashionable amusement, and
called out no little ingenuity. Randle
Holmes wrote at the time remarkable
book on heraldry, and from the let
tiers of his name was formed the ana
gram, "Lo, Mems Herald!' A lady
known as Dame Eleanor Davies laid
claim to prophetic gifts. She believed
she was inspired by the spirit of the
prophet Daniel, and she formed of her
name:
Eleanor Davies;
Reveal, o Daniel!'
L and too little by an S, but as it had
in. it Daniel and reveal" it satisfied
her aspirations. She was brought be-
fore the Court of Bishops, who tried
to reason her out Of her insane claims,
but she held her own strictly, we are
told, until one of the deans shot her
through with an arrow from her own
culver. He took q pen and wrote this
anagram:
Dame Eleanor Davies,
Never so mad a ladie!v'
The court on reading this burst into
laughter, and the lady's spirit, forsak-
ing her, she gave up her claims to
prophecy. and we hear of her no more.
