ATrlck q Actions.

Most people know that the memory
nay be easily confused by learning q
passage In two or three different ways,
On by having once heard an incorrect
form Of giving 1t. Working on this prin-
oiple, actors are fond Of putting stun
bling blocks in one another's way. A
stock joke, dear to the hearts Of all
players, il the regular thing to be in
dicted upon a beginner i'll the first act
Of Richard Ill" 1t is in the scene
where the coffin Of Henry vi Is borne
across the stage. One of the men who
carry it has been raised from the posi-.
ton Of supernumeraTy to his first speak
ing part. which consists of q single line.
Before the performance. it is usual foz
some older actor to take him aside and
impress him with the enormous diff
culties Of delivering that sentence cor
rsctly. The victim listens nervously.
Now, most actors" says his tor
mentor gravoly, make this mistake
the first time they play the part: In
stead of saying, as it is, My lord.
stand back, and let the coffin pass, they
give it this way, My lord, stand back,
and let the parson cough. Z"
And after he has heard the latter YER
sion, absurd though it is, the chances
are that the poor supernumerary will
give that to the audience on the first
night. New York Tribune.

minority report will be made. The ma.

The majority report declares that the
cost of printing and binding could be
reduced more than $4,000 q year under
the contract system. It sets forth that
bills for both printing and binding have
been exorbitant; that too many doou.

this the offices doing the work have in
many cases charged more than any con-
struction of the law would allow.
