FAMOUS STAGE FALLS.

There is nothing takes so well with
an audience as an effective stage fall.
Some of these have become famous.
Margaret Mather used to fall in the
potion scene down flight OF stairs. but
it was a trick fall and she could not
have hurt herself if she had tried
One OF the most sensational stage
falls ever made was that of Julia Ar
thur who in The Black Mask"
wheeled round and round and fell after
she had made the circuit of the entire
stage.
Sarah Bernhard. with her muscles
apparently stll, used TO fall on her face
in LA Tosca," but she fooled the awe
struck public. for she wore heavy chest
protectors and did not fall on her face
at all In the same play Fanny Daven-
port used to spin around like top and
then fall in heap.
Wilton Lackaye's scene in "Trilby"
was famous, As Svengali when he died
he fell backward over table, his
CHASTITY face turned upside down to the
audience. He did this two seasons
without breaking his neck, which was
marvel. The success of the fall de-
pended on accurate measurement of
distances.
Mary Anderson's fall in Romeo and
Juliet" is recalled as the most effective
bit of work ever done. In the potion
scene her form relaxed and she fell to
the floor in such a way that one was
convinced she would have gone head
long into an abyss or into a stone wall
in just the same way, simply because
she could not help herself.
Annie RUSSELL in Catherine" falls
upon the stage in such "a way as to
startle the audience, which does not
see how she manages 10 keep from kill
ing herself, as She apparently falls fiat
on her face. Blanche Walsh made all
most the same effect in THE Great Dia-
mond Robbery" only she added to it
by rolling down flight of steps.

ODDITIES OF DIET.
Different Articles of Food ConsId-
cred Edible by the People
of various Nations.

Among the various nations there have
been great differences as to articles con-
sidered edible, and, of course. amcug
such as could be procured. The Tar
tars, Marco Polo says, ate horses, cam
els, dogs and drank mares milk. The
bcythians also, according to Herouotus,
drank mares milk. In China birds
nests, rats and suails are eaten The
edible birds nests are found in the Nico
bars, cluster of islands in the Bav of
Pengal These nests, built by the Mic
obar swallows, form one of the princi-
la exports of the islands The Greer
landers depend largely on seals. The
ancient Germans, according to Tacitus
ste wild apples, flesh and cheese. IN
Abyssinia the natives cut steak from
tie live COW, according to Bruce, and
ate the meat warm with the natural
heat. says Lippincott's.
Among the Egyptians near Elephan-
tine the crocodile was an article of food
Tie Egyptians thought wheat and bar
ley poor food; they ate principally spelt
and yea. The priests ate beef. geese,
and took wine, but not fish. The Egyp-
t'ans did not eat beans or raise them.
They did not eat the head of any crea-
ture. They ate honey and raisins.
Among them no cattle were killed ex.
cept for sacrifice. They ate sheep and
goats. and swine's flesh only when o.
fered TO Bucchus and Luna. They had
no vines. but made a liquor from bar
ley. They ate fish fresh and salted. or
dried in the sun; also quail and ducks.

his way. and on the following morning

and knew nothing of his sons expedi-

of the accident aroused tm rest of the
family, announcing with tears that
Livio was dead. He had seen him dis
tinctly, he said, blood flowing from his
battered head, and had heard these
words spoken in a voice of terrible
anguish:
Father, slipped down precipice
and broke my head, and am dead,
quite dead"

tried in vain to persuade the poor count
that the CHASTITY vision was nothing but
a nightmare. and the bereaved father

LOADING DRESSED HOGS.
cHss In HanGied with Almost
No Lifting.

One OF the chief outdoor difficulties
at butcherjng time is the loading Of
heavy dressed nogs intended for mar
ket. Frequently this is done by one
man, aided by the women of the house
hold, and 1t is usually productive Of
much nervousness and some irrita-
bility. All this may be remedied In the
following way:
Make and keep from one season to an
other large tripod by joining at the
top three stout poles, c, 10 feet long.
Keep the upper ends Of the poles from
splitting by means of iron bands. The
lower ends are sharpened to point.
