Mr.. Pincro, who is generally considered
e. be the premier playwright Of England,
although totally unlike Sir Henry Irving,
was on one memorable occasion mistaken
for the great actor in u very curious way.
IL was at the Lyceum thcater, IN the first
production Of the Corsican Brothers
there. Mr.. Pinero was then an actor un-
der the banner of Sir Henry, and by some
means had got into the samo manner OF
walking as Sir Henry
On the first production Of the "Corsican
Brothers" Mr.. Pinero, who had to make
his appearance before Sir Henry Irving,
came down the stage with step exactly
like that of his chief Tho audience
thought 1t was the great actor, and gave
Mr.. Pinero n tremendous ovation, which
completely bewildered him, and FOR Some
littlo time no could not 30 on with his
part. When the audience discovered their
mistake, 1t was very hard to suppress their
humorous appreciation OF their error

Sea crabs and land crabs are also good
The latter grow to large size and their

 The wedding cake provided on the marriage of the Princess Louise with the Duke Of Fife was also made by the queens own eonfectioner; it weighed fS6 pounds and was nearly six feet high.
 The Princess Beatriee's wedding cake was worth s1.500. It weighed 500 pounds. was nine feet high and five Feet around. Six months it took for modelling the ornaments. among which were 1.800 sprays of sugared leaves of ivy, roses, elematis, honeysuckle and other plants, It was made in the royal kitchen and was sent to Osborne in a special van, twelve men lifting it.
 A leading firm made an enormous cake for presentation to Queen Vic toria on the occasion Of her jubilee. It measured nine feet six inches around, ten feet high, and weighed over a quar- ter of ton, without any ornaments. A cake sent to Dr. Behrend by the congregation in Brooklyn upon his 50th birthday was a valuable one. for the top was ornamented with $500 in gold eGfns
