and has since been running SUCCESS

on the hoist will be completed when

How the Scene Was Once Lighted.

1t must have often struck people,
when reading of the old performances
in the last century, how it was that the
lighting was contrived. The power of
oil lamps was limited enough. Theaters
like Drury Lane and Covent Garden
were of enormous size. There were no
footlights, at least until about the mid
die OF the last century, and they were
the humble floats, dim enough. Yet
there was ample light to observe ex-
preston and play of features, so neces.
sary in interpreting the fine old come.
dies OF character Nowadays the stage
is one blaze. 1t is literally bathed and
suffused in light. There are no shad.
ows, and yet it might be said the
amount of necessary light is no, more
than there used to be and is not nearly
as satisfactory. How was it then?
In the theaters of Garrick and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads of the actors from the
arch OF the proscenium and Just outside
the curtain. When the play was over,
these were lowered slowly, signal for
the audience to depart These chande-
Tiers furnished a goodly amount of LIGHT
ON circular zone Immediately below
them. The actors faces and figures
were lit in the natural way, as the sun
would light them, but the rest of the
stage was comparatively dark or
gloomy. -Gentlcman 5 Magazine.

THACkERAY IN BOSTON.
His Comment on the "Good Society" of
That City.

Mr.. Thackeray brought from England
letter of introduction to an important
gentleman of Beacon street BY him he
was most Hospitality entertained and
passed from dinner party to dinner par
| ty. But Thackeray Is interest in the cap
, ital Of New England did not end with
Beacon street dinner parties He had
heard something of the eminent men of
the town and ut that moment happened
TO be particularly interested in Theo-
dore Parker. He wished very much to
hear this celebrated Unitarian preacher.
He mentioned this desire to his host.
The Beacon street gentleman seemed
much surprised, but without abating
any of his outward courtesy and MAX
ing some valid excuse took him to
Kings chapel on Sunday morning in
stead of to Music hall, where Parker
preached AT Kings chapel, the Bea-
con street gentleman said, people of the
best society might always he found
Thackeray, it is needless to say, was
mild hammered man, not fond of
struggle to free himself from his enter
tainer's clutches He saw that it was
impossible for him to get on Sunday to
Music hall. But during the week he
heard that Parker was to deliver q dis
course at the funeral of rich and pub
lie spirited merchant. Thackeray went
alone to the funeral and was greatly in
terested and thrilled by the address
He also saw many people who looked
as II they were more interesting than
any he had seen at the Beacon street
dinner parties. He went home that
morning to dinner and found that his
host had invited to meet him several
gentlemen of the best society, most Of
whom were bores. Thackeray could not
help telling about Parker and the fu-
neral and confessing how much he had
been impressed by the preacher and the
people. His host was visibly distressed
and presently managed to whisper in
his ear, II beg of you, Mr.. Thackeray,
to remember that Mr.. Parker does not
belong TO our best society,"" This was
more than the Englishman could stand,
and he replied, loud enough to be heard
by at least one at the table, Upon my
word, begin wish hadn't got into

TO let again, the lease which was origi-
nally taken for her having only Just
expired. The house, which is one of a
kind rare now in New York, has been
unoccupied for many years. The sign
hangs on the high fence which Mrs
Langtry, for reasons of her own. had
built about the house at an expense con-
siderably greater than she expected In
the struggle which she had with the
city authorities to establish her right
to keep the fence where it was built
her lawyers are said to have received
50, 900 for their services She paid the
money cheerfully and her expenditures
were never stinted.
At one time she made great deal of
money from her appearances as an ac-
ress, and even on her last visit to
America, to everybody's establishment,
she was nearly as successful as she had
ever been. Although. she spent money
freely she was good business woman,
and that was shown by remark she
made once when the question of engag-
ing an actor came up. He asked more
for his services than her manager
thought he was worth.
"Oh, pay him what he asksr' Mrs.
Langtry said indifferently. "He's a nice
fellow and he plays piquet so badly
that I'm certain to get most of it back. -

Chinese Money.

A kind of Chinese money which is
largely manufactured and sold is worthy
of mention, although the traveller need
not trouble himself with it except as
curiosity. This is prepared for the spe-
cial purpose Of burning at the graves of
deceased relatives as an Offering to the
dead The denizens of the other world
are supposed to require and 60 he capa-
BILE OF receiving money in this way, but
the Chinaman is far too practical per-
son to part III such u fashion with the
currency of the empire Instead he buys
for few cash large supply of sill
vered and gilded pieces of paper or of
imitation coins blocked out of cardboard.
Although these have no purchasing
power on earth, they are supposed to
count for much in the transactions of
the spirit world. BY this practice one is
reminded of an old story of a miser who
left his belongings to his son on condi-
ton that certain sum of money should
be buried in the coffin with him. The
son was, however, chip of the old
block and carried out his fathers wishes
by placing in the coffin crossed check
for the required amount, assured that it
had little chance of being presented at
his banker s. -Chambers' Journal.

A Fond Mother iewed the Acquaintance
With Sume Suspicion.

With sumo Suspicion.
The course of teacher in some rural
schools is not unmarked by pitfalls.
One young lady thus engaged tells an
amusing story of the anxiety her con-
duct unwittingly caused the mother of
one of her pupils. The pupil in ques-
ton was an overgrown and stupid but
well behaved boy of 10, named Tobias
Hodge. He was older by several years.
and far bigger than any other pupil in
the school, but he was not so well adj
vanced i'll his studies as some of the
younger ones. He seemed so anxious
to learn that the teacher often got him
to remain after school for the purpose
OF assisting him in his studies.
Their homeward way lay over the
same road, and they would walk home
together after the hard places in the les
sons had been made easy for Tobias.
Often i'll the morning, when she left
home to go to the schoolhouse, the
teacher would find the boy waiting for
her, and she tactfully gave him several
lessons in politeness, such as lifting his
hat to her and other ladies, and assist
ing her over bad places in the road.
She was beginning to feel that she
might really make something out of To-
bias, when her efforts on his behalf re-
ceived sudden check by the receipt of
the following note from his widowed
mother:
MADDUM-I just want to say that | have
heerd how you are carryin on with my son
Tobe, an all | got to say is that he amt of
age, an ann his garden. a word to
