"The bone solo" remarked an old
minstrel performer to a Washington
Star reporter though once very pop
ular, is regarded as a hoodoo in the
burnt cork profession and is never al
lowed any more under any circumstan-
ces. 1t is feared as much as the yell
low clarionet which, according to the
superstitions of the show business, is
one of the most fatal things that ex-
lists. The yellow clarionet not only in
duces bad-that is, poor business-but
in addition to this 1t causes trouble
among the performers, produces rail-
road accidents, and, in short, it winds
performers and companies up. There
was time in the minstrel business
when it was just as natural to have a
bone solo played by some performer
during the evening as it was to have
a ballad sung, and the public took as
kindly to one as it did to the other.
There was scarcely any difference be-
tween bone solos. They all sounded
about the same and the limitations
were always stereotyped. Every bone
soloist went through the same per-
Torrance, and used a chair in the CEN
ter of the stage to heighten the effect.
Who of the hundreds and hundreds of
thousands who have heard a bone solo
played can forget the limitations OF
the starting an stopping of a railroad
train, the battle, the charge and the
repulse; saving wood, and others
equally familiar. Every bone soloist
thought it was necessary to give an
imitation Of a two-forty horse going up
the road. and especially to initiate the
sounds of the trotter crossing a bridge.
iIayerly first put The ban on bone solos.
and one of the clauses in the contracts
he made with performers was that
they would not under any circumstance
os while they were i'm his employ. eth
err in private or public, attempt a bone
solo. No minstrel performer can ex-
plain where the hoodoo comes i'm. but
they fear it worse than any of the
other omens of bad luck"

Set Anre bv Waves.

On the Western coast of Ireland, at
Ballybunion, the sea set fire to the
cliffs. For centuries the great Allan
tic rollers had been breaking them
down and making great assures in
them. In their depths were masses Of
iron, pyrites and alum. At last the
water penetrated to these, and a rapid
oxidation took place, which produced
a heat fierce enough to set the whole
cliff on fire. For weeks the rocks
burnt like a regular volcano, and great
clouds of smoke and vapor rose high in
the air.

archangels ascending and descending
a ladder that reached to heaven and
Jehovah came TO him and made the
great promise which is being fulfilled
to the Jews this very day. And Jacob
took the stone and set it up for pillar

vow and called the name of the place

The kings of Israel were crowned up

The story goes that $50 years before
Christ, at the time of the Babylonian
captivity, Circa, daughter of Zedekiah,
the last king of Judea, arrived in Ire
land, and was married at Tara to Here
mon, prince of the Tuatha de Danan
which is said to be the Celtic name
of the tribe of Dan. The traditions re-
late that this princess went originally
to Egypt in charge of the Prophet Jer-
emiah, her guardian, and the palace
Taphanes, in which they resided
there, was discovered in 1856 by
DR.. Petrie. the archaeOlogist. At
ter some years they went hence
to Ireland and from Circa and

where it was known as the liza phail

Scotland by Fergus l., and thence to
London in the year 1900, and has been
used at the coronation of every king
and queen of England from Edward I.

priceless historical object in the Brit
