WASPS AT THE SHOW.

The Insects stirred the Actors to
Great Acting.
Zone of the most comical experiences
in the history of the stage" said To-
cal manager the other day, 'befell the
Tom Keene company not long ago in
a northern New York town. The COM
pany was playing Julius Caesar and
at the last moment it was found that the
property man had failed TO send up
the regular throne chair used in the
senate scene, and an old rustic chair
was hastily procured from the loft of
the theater, and after being covered
with draping, was pressed into service.
In the midst of the scene large wasp's
nest was discovered attached to the
chair. and it's inhabitants, becoming in
dignant at the disturbance they had
suffered, began TO swarm about the
stage seeking revenge upon the Romans
in their low-necked and short-sleeyed
dresses. The wasps seemed to be par
ticularly Offended with Caesar, and it is
doubtful if Caesars death scene was
ever acted with more feeling, for at the
moment he was being pierced by the
consplrators' daggers the Wasps were
most industrious in their work.
I'm the scene, where Caesar appears
to Brutus, one might almost have doubt
ed its being the true Caesar. 1t was the
same in form and dress, but the face
was no longer the same. In the last
act Brutus had one eye closed, Anthony
a swollen lip, Cassius an enlarged chin,
Lucius m inequality in the size of his
hands, and Octavius Caesar a nose that
would have done service as the famous
nose of Bardolf in Henry W.
The tragedy became very near be-
ing a roaring comedy, when Mr.. Keene,
rs Cassius, said: Antony, the posture
of your blows is yet unknown, but for
your words, they rob the ITybla bees
and leave them honeyless,' and Mr..
Hanford, as Antony, replied; Not sting
less, too "-Cleveland Plain Dealer.

The Importance of Lime.

Lime for the animal and lime for the
land go hand in hand. When corn Is
selected as the principal food for young
stock the bones cannot be produced
therefrom and the animal will succumb,
as there is but very little lime In grain.
This may be obviated by feeding clover
and bran, but after the pigs are taken
off the pasture they are fed mostly on
corn which is insufficient when used ex-
clusively. To make the young animals
grow rapidly they should have foods
rich in lime, which is best secured by
allowing a variety.

was his sunny disposition which won
for him friendships as strong and true
as ever man was blest withal. But his
wife was a Yankee, and one of the
stricteSt of Puritans in everything
She was her husbands private secre.
tary, and had entire charge of his cor
respondence. No other woman so
dominated the business end of the
white house. She was as cold socially
rs Benjamin Harrison was politically,
Our society folk were glad when Mrs,
Polk invited the beautiful and low
able daughter-in-law of John Tyler to
assume the social duties of the ex-
ecutive mansion. That lovely woman
continued to be the center of the social
world during the Tyler administration,
because Mrs. Tyler was an invalid.
The play of Hamlet could not well
be staged, without the appearance of
Hamlet in the scenes. The history of
Rome could not be written without
mention of Caesar, the greatest man of
his age, a soldier and a statesman
whose life was taken by fanatics and
fools. The history of France would be
incomplete without an account of the
life of Napoleon.
Who could write the social history of
the executive mansion with mere men
ton of Dolly Madisoh?" She was the
only woman that ever reigned a social
queen in a republic for a term of six
teen consecutive years. Her husband
was secretary of state for eight years,
and during that time Dolly Madison
was the social leader She, of course,
continued her life work and pleasure
while her husband was president, and
hence her history marks more than one
tenth of the history of society in the
national capital.
The Importance of society In Wash
il gton, the influence of ladies upon leg
islation, the ability of the wife of pub
lie man 10 enhance her husbands pop
ularity, the strength or weakness of an
administration because of the standing
of a presidents wife, all these things
ere enigmatical to many people remote
from the capital city of the republic.
It may be said briefly, however, that
the influence of women in national af-
fairs has always been greater than the
people suppose, and that influence has
grown with the passing years.
Modern women come high, but we
must have them. They cannot shine in
the national capital without gowns and
Jewels, costly and brilliant. But, after
all, it is the woman herself who is the
Jewel The woman with brains, abil-
ity, tact, and, above all. ambition for
her husbands Advancement, can work
wonders in the political world Her
gowns and jewels are but settings of
the stage of life, and the woman herself
is the central figure. SMITH D. FRY.

A WHITE ROBBED MIRACLE.

4 marvel, a miracle, born in a night,
CARRIED in an ermiue robe spotlessly white,
Plumed where it fuffs all the feather-clad
trees,
Carved where Il hid in fence curves from
the breeze:
This the pure snowfall, heavenly in birth.
Clothing with beauty sublime the duh
earth
Ghostlike the bushes in soft raiment
Grotesque the brown stumps in caps many
shaped
Plumes on the branches and plumes on the
weeds,
Elderdown spreads on the pastures and
meads;
Cornices topping the multiform drifts,
Changing their styles as old Natures scene
shifts.
Gold in the sunshine. but silver at night,
Frost-diamonds sparkling on cushions Of
Racing fakes rustIing which run Ger the
snow,
Chased b. the crisp winds which hurry
them 50;
Ice-glass engraved Ger the half-hidden
brooks
Chased in designs Of palms. fern leaves
and crooks.
Furry flakes falling. a radiant throng,
W INSPIRING softly put singing no song,
Flower-like crystals on every winged mite.
Flashing like hrefiies beneath the moon
light
Banners of purity widely unfurled
over a sin-soiled and autumn-browned
world.
White on the mountains and white on the
wales,
Each bush a shalIop displaying white sails.
Floating on oceans of marble-white waves
Whittier than headstones the mounds on the
graves;
Who says the miracle period is past?
Here are some millions. with more coming
fast.
Lord let our souls feel this miracle, too,
Let Thy white mercy our dun lives renew,
Hiding their ills with Thy pardon and
peace
Just as the dull earth hides meath the
snow fleece;
Clearer and cleaner our sinful souls grow
Meath Thy white mantle of love pure as
