The Ghnrt In "Hnmlet."

Not many years ago at the Queens
theater Dublin, during one Of the late
T. O. Kings engagements, Hamlet"
was being played to densely crowded
house. The actor portraying the part OF
the Ghost solaced himself during his
long wait from the first to the third act
by perusing the evening paper. using.
his spectacles in so doing. Being inter-
ested in some article (probably tho
"weights" for an important handicap),
he delayed leaving the greenroom until
the moment Of hearing his cue, when,
hastily snatching up his truncheon, he
rushed upon the stage without his beard
a "sable silvered" or removing his spec.

A litter greeted his appearance. but
still tho solemnity of the darkened stage
and the fine acting Of King as Hamlet
prevented any great outbufst until the
Queens replying to Hamlet's question,
"Do you see nothing there?" answered,
Nothing at all. Yet all that is see, -

Why DO We Yawuf

There can be little doubt that one of
the objects Of yawning is the exercise Of
muscles which have been for long
time quiescent and tho acceleration of
the blood and lymph dow which has in
consequence Of thisquiescence become
sluggish hence it's frequency after one
has remained for some time in the same
position-for example. when waking in
the morning.
Cooperating with this cause ia sleepi-
ness and the shallow breathing which it
entails. This faotor. as we'll as muscle
quiesoence, 10 apt to attend the sense Of
boredom which oue experiences in listen
ing to dull sermon; hence 1t is that
the bored individual is apt to yawn. As
in the case of sighing, the deep breath
which accompanies the act of yawning
compensates for the shallow breathing
which is Sd apt to excite it.-New York
Herald.
