The great and consuming joy of life in
the theatrical hotel is the general dfsre-
gard, rather the general adherence, of
time There are no hours. The guests
wear watches-aside from their purely or
namental use-for the determination of two
questions:
rs 1t time for rehearsal"
rs il time to START
TO start means TO begin the journey to
the theater. and all of the guests of the
theatrical hotel adhere inflexibly to their
tXed moment OF starting. each of them

Tkespian is not lacking in animosities, but
above all and everything. it revolts him to
have to hurry TO make up. If he has too
long dawdled. he will cheerfuly bolt his
meals. or go without his meals for the
sake of wardins off this catastrophe.
No Regard for Time.
But, barring the time for the rehearsal
or for the performance. the guest of the
theatrical hotel cares little whether the
sun is al the zenith or elsewhither on it's

view ii might be said that he cares pre-
cious little for The sum- anyhow. for he de-

Ceremonial Laws of savages.

In recent lecture on Primitive Re.
ligious Expression" in New Haven
Conn.,, Professor D. G. Brinton said that
ceremonial law is found to exist in ev-
cry tribe, and is obeyed with surprising
punctuality. 1t is often absurd and ri
diculous, but is obeyed just the same.
Among certain tribes it is against this
law to roast pig, only boiling of that
animal being allowed; with other
tribes no fuel from two different
species of trees may be used for the
same fire; and in Kamtchatka a GER
tain tribe has ceremonial law which
prohibits the scraping of snow from the
boots with a metal knife, and another
law which threatens with boils anyone
who kills a very young duck. 1t is be-
lieved that punishment for the infrac.
tion of any of these laws falls not upon
the individual, but upon his tribe. Oar
win found very little religion among
the Patagonians, but the severest cere-
monial laws in vogue.

Tales Of Peril.

While three men were hunting in
Idaho, one gave shout, and the others
ran to his assistance. They found him
clinging to some vines, that grew on
the edge of a great hole in the ground,
at least thirty feet in diameter. After
hauling him out, he explained that he
had walked into the hole while looking
ahead Tor game, and only saved himself
by the merest chance. The hunters
came back the next day with ropes and
lowered man into the pit. He report
ed that it was nearly sixty feet deep,
and halfway down was narrowed in
like an hour glass, SO that any living
thing falling into the pit could never
get out without assistance. AS proof,
the floor of the pit was strewn with
the carcasses of bear, deer and lesser
game. The luckless animals at differ
ent times had evidently fallen into the
pit, perhaps while being chased, and,
of course, were unable to climb the
walls, which inclined toward the mar
row opening. Nobody of any sense ev-
err hunts for grizzly, but when one
comes in sight hardly any one can re-
frain from firing at him. This was the
case with two men in Montana, who
We're going over the mountains on a
narrow trail, when they saw a grizzly
on the rocks above. Both men prompt
ly took to shelter and consulted. The
grizzly was evidently coming to a
spring nearby to drink, and was mind
ing its own business, but one of the
men thought he saw chance, and
fired. The bullet hit the bear in the
neck. This merely irritated him enough
to make him look around for his tor
mentors, and presently he was in full
chase. They ran at lively pace, but
would have been caught had they not
scrambled up the rocks. The grizzly
scrambled up, too, but presently all
sounds of pursuit ceased. Looking
back, they saw the bear jammed be-
tween two rocks. Before he could back
out, one Of the men ran back and put
ball in the grizzly's ear, and the chase
was over. 1t was such a narrow es-
cape, however, that the hunters re-
solved to avoid grizzlies in future.
In Los Angeles, resident exhibits
the skin of mountain lion, got in a
peculiar way. He was riding leisurely
among the foothills when a mountain
lion crossed his path, and was stink
ing away, as it generally does, when he
rashly fired at it with light shot
gun he carried. The lion, slightly
wounded, came back in a rage and
made dash at him. The horse SHE'D
and the man was thrown, striking his
head against rock, and causing in
sensibility. When he came to his
senses his horse was standing over
him, and a dead lion lay little dis
lance away. He examined the beast,
and found its skull crushed like an
eggshell. The horse had got a fair
crack at him with his heels, and made
an end of him.

way back to the time Of Lycurgus. the
great Spartan ruler. Plutarch tells US
that Lycurgus had great many wise
and curious notions as to how people
should live and how the affairs Of The
country should be managed. One of his
ideas was that there was no necessity
for building a wall about town II the
soldiers were properly trained to pro-
tect the place. "a one occasion an am
bassador from neighboring country
came to see Lycurgus, and he asked
how it was that he had no walls
around the town. "But we have walls, .
replied Lycurgus, land If you will come
with me I will show them to you. /"
Thereupon he took his guest out upon
the plains where the army was drawn
up in battle array, and, pointing to
the ranks Of the soldiers, he said:
These are the walls of Sparta, and
every man is brick" So you see
when the expression was first used 1T
had great deal more sense than it has
now.

An Elephant-Huntlnr adventure.

Selous, the African elephant hunter,
on one occasion had a marvellous es-
cape. He was chased by an infatuated
elephant, thrown from his horse, which
ran away, leaving him upon the ground.
Before he could rise the elephant was
upon him. and, falling upon his knees,
sent one OF its sharp tusks through his
thigh into the ground, for a moment
pinning him there. Selous, while suf-
fering terrible agony, did not lose his
presence of mind, but pretended to be
dead. well knowing that this was his
only hope. The elephant watched him
closely moment. then, thoroughly de-
ceived, pulled his tusk out and ran OF
into the woods. receiving as it went its
quietus In the shape of bullet, which
the hunters companions had not dared
to fire before, fearing that the animal
would fall on him.

Hes q Brick.

When boy does something that is
particularly good or noble his COM
rades say "He's brick" for to call a
fellow "a brick is as high a compli-
ment as one boy can pay to another.
II we stop to think about it, though,
it seems rather strange that brick
should be chosen as a standard for
measuring the worth Of boy. There
is surely nothing very wonderful or
fine about brick. But, like a great
many other sayings that do not appear
10 have much sense. we shall find. by
looking up the origin Of the expression,
that it started out with very sensible
meaning. In order to get at its be-
ginning, we have to 60 back into an
Gent history for q distance of nine
hundred years before Christ-all the
