The Stage In Shakespeare's Time.

John Churton Collins, the distin-
guished essayist and Quarterly Review
er, has been ]ecturing on the theater of
shakespeare time. The typical theater
then was Of wood, circular or hexago-
nal in form, being modelled externally on
the general structure of the old amphi-
theaters for bull and bear batting. The
interior was fashioned after the manner
of an inn yard. The pit was scornhed
by the sun, while the actors were pro-
tected by a thatohed penthouse. The
scenery was supplied by the imagina
tion Of the audience, but what was
lacking in scenery was made up in noise
and hustle, things being kept very live
ly in that direction. The most numer
Gus class among the audience were raist-
ering prentices.
On the stage and in other parts were
fashionable dandies, swashbucklars,
writers and actors. These, it is inter-
esting to know, always had free pass.
The play lasted two hours on an aver
age, and, considering the noise and the
smells which accompanied the perform
ance, one was, Mr.. Collins presumed,
not sorry when "the actors dropped an
their knees to pray for the queen"

CHIMNEYS KNOCKED OUT.

Machine Shops Can Be Run More
Economically Without Them.
A few years ago the building of q
machine shop without a chimney would
have been looked upon as the act of an
idiot. Now it may be the wisest thing
a builder can do, for the large fan
which is taking the place of the CHM
ney costs great deal less than the lofty
stack, and does it's work much better
Besides this there is great saving in
fuel.
In one plant where this experiment
was tried there we're three boilers, ag-
gregating $50 horsepower, and directly
above them was mounted fan connect
ed direct with 5 by 4 double cylinder
engine. The wheel of the fan was Sd
inches in diameter, and as it could be
run at any speed, it provided draft
quite independent of the fire. It was
possible to use much cheaper grade of
coal and the saving thus effected was
quite appreciable.
For instance, with the ordinary form
of chimney the shop would use 1924
tons Of Cumberland coal, at So. IS, ag.
gregating 5000 a year. Using the
blower, a mixture Of Cumberland coal
and yard screenings, half and half,
would suffice. This, at So. 85H, would
amount to 81, 995, showing difference
of 1884. The cost of operating the fan
was placed at 1888 per annum, so that
the net gain was $751;, sum greater
than the entire cost of the mechanical
draft apparatus.-St Louis Globe Dem

Welcoming Fresh Cares.

"As Gar as fresh cares are concerned, :"
said a man Of mature years, ''as grow
older rather welcome them. They blot
out the old cares completely and so
show how unsubstantial they were, and
I know that in due course these new
cares will be supplanted by Others and
will as completely give way to them.
Thus I am constantly reminded that
our cares really don't amount to much,
except as we imagine them great, and
I expect to see. the day when i shall
give but scanty room to them aud not
be disturbed by them at all. ''-New

Time Enough to Beller.

One day Billy, that's my brother, he
and Sammy Doppy was playin by a
mudhole and Billy he said:
'Now, Sammy, les play we was a
barnyard. You be the pig and lie down
and woller, and I'll be bull and beller
likeSverything."
So they got down on their hands and
knees, and Sammy be got in the mud
and wollered, while Billy bellered like
distant thunder. Bimeby Sammy he
cam out muddy-you never see such a
muddy little feller-and he said, - Now
yon be the pig, and let me beller.'' = But
Billy said, II amt a very good pig

The Cheetu1.

The axis, or cheetul, deer Of the Indi-
an jungle can claim to be the most or
namental Of all the Sc races Of deer to
be seeu gathered together at Woburn.
In the early summer, when all the 9th
er deer except the wapiti are either
shedding their horns or in the velvet, y
the axis are in perfection, both Of color
and antlers. The large herd Of this spe-
cies looks as if carved out Of ivory and
red gold in the sunshine and ver>l,&re Of
English scenery. Their horns are almost
white, their eyes and muzzles OF jet
black, their throats white and their
backs and sides a brilliant golden tan,
spotted with round dots Of purest white.
1t is worth pilgrimage to Wohurn to
see these deer alone. They breed con-
stantly, sometimes producing two lawns
in the twelvemonth.-

THE RED CROSS.

They, too, have heard the drumbeat, s
They follow the bugle's call,
These who are swift with pity H.
On the field where brave men fall.
When the battle boom is silent
And the echoing thunder dies,
They haste to the plain red sodden
With the blood of sacrifice.
The flag that floats above them
Is marked with crimson sign,
Pledge of great compassion
And the rifted heart divine
That once for mans redemption
Knew earth's completest loss
These to the field of valor
Bring loves immortal cross.
And so they follow the bugle
And heed the drumbeat's call, .
But their errand is one of pity
They suocor the men who fall.

Lincoln's Reception OF the NotiAca-

In the " Biography Of Charles Carle-
ton Coffin" is his own account of ac-
oompanying the committee to the home
of Mr.. Lincoln in Springfield, Ills, to
notify him of hie nomination for presi-
dent. They reached Springfield early in
the evening, and after supper at the
hotel made their call on Lincoln. It
was not to be very formal interview.
Lincoln stood in the parlor, dressed
in a black frock coat. The announce
ment was made, and his reply seemed
brief. He was evidently much con-
strained, but as soon as the last word
had been spoken he turned to Mr.. Kel-
ley of Pennsylvania, the chairman Of
the committee, and said: -" Judge, you
are pretty tall man. How tall ara

the camp, and stalking out the different
quarters. Major Averill was engaged In
directing this work. 1t had not been finish
ed when the order was received to suspend
all operations and march back to the city.
The stakes were thrown down in a twin
king. and the matter was discussed. All
sorts Of rumors were af1oat. One of these
was that Spain had capitulated unconci-
tionally, and the dons were heartily sworn
at for their imagined lack of courage.
Some of the men thought the march out
was simply sort of trial. as it were. and
that it had been known from the first tint
the camp would not be permanent. This
idea was soon dispelled, and every one was
at a loss to know what the reason for
countermanding the orders really was. The
officers were as much at q loss to know
anything about 1t as were the privates, and
stood together in groups advancing theories
as to the real reason.
Bound to Have Their Fun.
The privates of the different companies
were bound to have their fun, no matter
what happened. They played various
pIanks upon one another. One Of them
was engaged in going through the manual
of arms, with a company OF one, when
an officer gave him orders to stop it, as he
would tire himself out. and would better
save himself up to march back to the city.
Some twenty or twenty-five gathered to-
gether In true soldier fashion and blended
their voices in number of songs. "Old
Black Joe." 1.-THE Soldiers Farewell" and
others were rendered with good effect. The
singing was disturbed when the order to
fall in was given.
The boys were soon in line and the march
back to the city was begun about o'clock.
The colored battalion was among the first
to leave the field. The route was the same.

Saturday., he said, sit the under
standing that General Harries should select
the quota of men to be allowed the Dis
trict and take that quota into camp, re-
turning the other companies to their
mories or homes.
The idea seems to have become general
that permanent camp of the entire Dis
trict Guard was to be established and that
all the men were to be considered in the
service When I spoke to General Harr1es
at the White House this morning my idea
was to have it understood that only the
quota to be allowed the District should
continue in permanent camp, and that the
remaining portion should be returned to
their armories. 1 supposed that in going
into camp it was only to select the quota.
