The Yoangest was the Eldest.

A curious legal point was decided
in the reign of Elizabeth at least,
SO the story goes. A country gentle.
man bequeathed his estate to his
eldest son and 91O to the younger.
He had only two sons, who were
twins. The firstborn claimed the es-
tate, but it seemed that he had been
round the world with Drake, and SO
had lost a day on the voyage; hence
the lawyers, sly rogues, assured him
that his brothers. claim was the
best and, the adventurer acquies-
cling in the decision, departed on his
travels with the 91O in his pocket

INSECT HEAVY DRINKERS.
Butterflies SIT For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.

Butterflies Sit For Hours Sucking More
Moisture Than Needed.
By means of large number of OBJ
servations Mr.. J. W. Tut is able to
confirm what has been stated by other
observers that certain butterflies and
moths are very much addicted to drink.
In paper published in the proceed
ings" of the South London Entomology
ioal and Natural History society Mr..
Tut says there can be no doubt that
butterflies drink more than is required
by their tissues under any possible con-
ditions. He has known Polyommatus
damon to sit for more than an hour mo-
tionless except for the slight movement
of sucking up and discharging the
moisture almost continuously
What this internal bath may really
mean cannot be surmised. Another i'm
portant factor as to this drinking habit
is strange one, the ''thirsty souls,
as far as his observation goes, being al
most entirely males. Possibly if exact
observations could be made it might be
found that females in small numbers
also visit puddles, pools and streams
for drinking purposes but as far as Mr.
Tut has been able to discover it is the
males alone who indulge iE these copi-
GUS libations while the females are
away laying eggs. Moths and butter
flies of both sexes visit sugar, overripe
fruit and similar dainties. but they do
SO for food. The males alone seem to be
attracted by pure water, and Mr.. Tut
suggests that, their extra activity hav
ing originally given them greater need
in this direction, habit which was at
first necessity has become SO pleasur
able that excessive drinking has literal
ly become vice.

Tha Editor,s protest.

The editor of The Clarion was very
patient man A startling crash from
the direction of the composing room
caused him to push his spectacles upon
his brow and cease writing. When he
found that the boy had let the first page
form fall on the floor, where it lay in
an incoherent mass, he shook his head
reproachfully and exclaimed:
Lemuel, do wish that you could
manage to break the news more gently. "

Effect of Age on the Eyes.


The following are some of the ef-
fects of age upon the eyes: The cor
nea takes the form of a border ring
of whitish tissue, the cause being
the fatty degeneration of the sur
rounding parts Of the cornea. The
strength of sight decreases with age
until it becomes difficult to distin-
guish small objects placed close to
the eyes. This, however, may be in
a great measure remedied by the use
of suitable spectacles. Cataract, al
though frequently accompanying
old age, is by no means necessary
consequence of it. In youth the lens
is perfectly transparent and color
less. After the thirtieth year it be-
gins to acquire pale yellow tint,
and as age advances this becomes
more pronounced until it is finally
transformed into deep amber.
These changes in the normal trans
parency coincide with failing in
nutrition, but their progress is not
accompanied by loss of sight. When
total loss of nutrition ensues, how
ever, the lens becomes quite opaque,
and tho operation for removal,
which has been brought to such per-
lection in late years, becomes neoes-
sary. New York Ledger.

the "aside" and the "soliloquy,'
holding them to he little too fla
GRAVITY unreal. 1t is not to be denied
that the aside and the soliloquy are
labor saving devices, which some
dramatists have worked hard. The
easy convenience of soliloquy, by
means of which tortuous character
can undeceive the audience while
taking in the other personages of
the play, has been too tempting to
many playwright. The conscien
tious dramatist has tended of late to
get along without the aside and the
soliloquy. The younger Dumas and
Ibsen and Mr.. William Gillette Gin
"Secret Service'') have proved that
it is perfectly possible to eschew
them both. Here the later play
wright holds to higher standard of
technic than the earlier, just as
Moliere made us perceive Tartuffe's
evil purpose without single self
explanatory aside, while Shake
speare had allowed Iago to unbosom
himself freely to the audience in the
intervals of his hideous machina
tons. After all, what is the con-
vention underlying the soliloquy2
It is that Hamlet, for example, is
man in the habit of thinking aloud
when alone. Few of us would refuse
to sign this agreement at the cost of
losing "To be or not to be-" Few
of us, on the other hand, fail to
think that the permission is strained
when we find Romeo overhearing
Juliet's soliloquy on the balcony.

TRICKS OF THE DRAMA.
Rsander Matthews Comments On the Use
of the Stage Whisper.

8sander Matthews Comments On the Use
of the Stage Whisper.
1t is an indisputable necessity of
the acted drama that the performers
shall so pitch their voices as to be
) heard all over the house and that
they shall so place themselves on
the stage as to keep their faces visi-
BILE from all parts of the theater.
These are both deviations from Or
binary usage, since common sense
tells us that man does not discuss
his private affairs in tones to be
heard by thousand people, and the
doctrine of probabilities assures US
that only quarter of the time
would couple face toward any
given point of the compass.
Even when two characters alone
on the stage whisper together, not
to be overheard by other characters
supposed to be in the next room,
they can but pretend to lower their
voices, since what they say must be
audible to the audience, or else why
say it, Many critic, accustomed
to blank verse and to the absence of
the fourth wall of a room and to
hundred other conventions he blind
