Effect of Age ON the Ewes.

The following are some Of the eff
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 speGtacles. Cataract, al
though frequently accompanying
old age, is by no means a 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 a 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 the operation for removal,
which has been brought to such per-
lection in late years, becomes neoes-
sary. -New York Ledger.

Stuff That Made Him Go.

While a drove of bulIocks were
being driven through an Irish village
from a fair one of the animals sud
denly stopped and, Notwithstanding
all the efforts of the drover, would
not move on its way.
A chemist who happened to see
the affair went up to the bullock
and injected a drug down it's throat,
which made the animal career down
the street like creased lightning.
About i've minutes afterward the
drover entered the chemists shop
wiping the perspiration off his head
and asked the shopman if he were
the party who gave the bullock
some medicine.
Il am, said the chemist.
"Well, ;" said the drover, "I'll take
a pennyworth of it, as l have to fol

TEsCKs OF THE DRAMA.
Brander Matthews C0mments on the Use
of the Stage Whisper.

Brander Matthews Comments 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 a quarter of the time
would a 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 room and to a
hundred other conventions he blind
ly accepts, unconscious that they,
too, are out of nature, has refused
to legitimate the "stage whisper, "
the "aside" and the "soliloquy,"
holding them to he a 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 lin
"Secret Service'D have proved that
it is perfectly possible to eschew
them both. Here the later play
wright holds to a 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 soliloquy9
It is that Hamlet, for example, is a
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.
MoIiere took this license as Welleas
Shakespeare, for in "L'Ecole des
Femmes" the Notary overhears the
of Arnolphe. -Brander
Matthews in Scribner's.

Paris Alibis.

The private postes restantes and
alibi agencies are peculiarly Pa

brought to a particular perfection
here. These concerns have agencies

sum a month a correspondent can
have letters addressed to him in one

them to him in another. The other
feature of their business is that by

Lord Russell and the Church.

Lord John Russell and the late
Dowager Lady Russell used to at
tend the ritualistic Church of st.
Barnabas, Pimlico, of which the
Rev. Mr.. Bennett was pastor.
"Great, therefore, was the excite
ment of the clergy and parishion-
ers,' says the London Chronicle,
when Lord John, in his famous
Durham letter, after denouncing
'Popery,' doubly denounced the in
sidious imitation of it by clergy
men of our own church. To Lord
John Mr.. Bennett thereupon wrote a
letter of remOnstrance, in the course
of which he quoted an entry from
his private diary: Lord and Lady
Russell at holy communion this day.
Oh, that we could make them love
the church. 1t was not argument,
but the dowager countess used to
say that this genuine expression of
feeling affected her and her husband
more than did all the public attacks
made upon him in his capacity-por-
trayed by Punch-of naughty boy
who chalked up No Popery' and ran
away"

Our loving lot was cast.
It was the time of roses.
We plucked them as we pass'd.
That curlish season never frown'd
On early lovers yet.
Oh, mol The world was newly crown'd
With flowers when we first met,
Twas twilight, and babe you go,
But still you held me fast.
1t was tho time of roses.
We pluck d them as we pass'd.
What else could peer thy glowing cheek
That tears began to studG
And when | asked the like of love
You snatch'd a damask bud
And opod it to the dainty core,
Still glowing to the last.
1t was the time of roses.
We plucb'd them as we pass'd.
