HNNRY MIIIlER AS "HAMIET."

HENRY MILLER AS HAMLET.
Shakespeare's plays are rightly con-
s!dere0 as emD0dying the highest
forms of dramatic art, and tho ether
who can give them proper expression Is
rightly considered as at the zenith Of
fame in his profession. Yet
at no time in the history of the stage
in America have there been 50 few
actors before the pubic
as al the present time. his, Henry
Miller thinks, is due largely to the fact
that as il is so much easier to please
the pubic in far less meritOricus, but
much more novel plays, the actor and
the manager travel the path Of least
resistance But Mr.. Miller and his
manager, Charles FrOhman, DO not be-
,ieve in yielding to opposing diifi-
culties, and the result will be seen at
the Grand Opera House next Monday
night, when Mr.. Miller will appear in
'Ham.et." II is his first step into ac-
know,edged legitimate acting as a star,
but the line of plays in which he has
been before the public for some years
past, calls for the same manner OF tall
e-t as does this masterpiece of the
great English dramatist. 1t is an i'm
portant step forward for this popular
actor but it does not seem to be i'll
advised, as far as his talent is concern
ed A wealth of scenery and a compe-
tent company are incidentally prom
ised to assist Mr.. Miller in this repre-
Isentation.

THE SCOTCH RUSHLIGHT.
In the DnyH of the Candle Tax II Was
Made ut Might In the Great
est Secrecy.

Home-manufactured flashlights and
candles were in constant use by the
Scotch peasantry. says Good Words.
EoiIed animal fat gave the required tai
low. and the same green rlishCs as were
used for cruisie wick supplied it also in
this case.
In making flashlights all the green
coating Of these rushcs was stripped off;
but for candle wick Il thin strip was left
on either side Of the pth 10 strengthen
and support it. Otherwise the manu-
facture OF these two lights was very
similar. This SUBSTANCE from the
rushes. when dried. was tied TO rod,

lowed 10 cool. and this process was re-
pentcd until the rushlipht. or candle.
had become the desired thickness. In
later years candles were made in molds.
the tape was passed through a hole in
the center Of the mold and knotted to
prevent it slipping. The fat was then
poured N and allowed to cool
These molGs. during the days Of the

CoPPER-LINED STOMACHS
Remarkable Gastrob cmlcnl Fcats
OF an Englishmnn and an
American.

John Collins, who has lately distin-
guishcG himself by swallowing 81 peb-
bles and has come out of Peterbor-
ough i:li.!;i-;!r.!', where he has been in
coniincLc;:: rs the consequence of this
feat, ho doubt thinks he has beaten the
record. lie is mistaken, however. a
much more remarkable feat is recorded
in the museum of Guys hospital, where
they have some scraps of pocket knives
that have been swallowed by one John
Cummings, an American sailor. He
and his mates went to q fair and saw
a mountebank doing some wonderful
things in the way of swallowing knives.
Most of them were greatly impressed
by the performance, but Cummings
made light of it, and declared he could
do the same if he liked. On being
dared to do it, he took out his own
pocketknife and bolted it. His ship
mates were naturally delighted They
piled him with grog and affectionately
encouraged him to still further achieve
ments. Cummings boldly declared his
readiness to swallow all the pocket
knives On shipboard. Three were in
stantly offered him, and he actually
swallowed them all. One CT the four
he seemed to have permanently appro-
priatcd, and for six years he expert
mcntcd no more in this way. Even
tually, however, he tried a few more
OF these somewhat indigestible articles
of diet, and, it was said, would swal-
low a knife with the utmost indiffer-
ence.
When Cummings told his story to the
doctors, as, of course, he had to do in
the end, they thought him a mono
maniac and were inclined to pay no at
tention to it. External examination,
however, showed that a metal point
had perforated the wall Of the stom-
ach and induced the hospital author
tiles to administer powerful solvents in
order, if possible, to get rid of the OBJ
structivc fragments OF this singular
dietary. Perhaps the stomach which
had held out against pocketlnives gave
in to the doctors' strong medicine. At
all events, the 1nan died, and they have
on show at Guys some 40 or so scraps
of metal blades and bits of handles and
other component parts Of pcclietknives
all testifying to the truth Of the story
the man had told and proving indis-
putably that he had long been in the
habit of amusing himself or astonish-
ing his friends or perhaps turning an
honest penny occasionally in this orig
inal way. Collins certainly has beaten
him by coming out of the infirmary
alive.-London News.
