A writer in The Strand Magazine de-
seribes the astonishment he experienced
when, riding over London in balloon at
height of more than half Il mile, he heard
the deafening roar Of the great city be-
meath him as it could not be heard when
OIL the ground. The noise, even at that
height, was so harsh and intense as to be
painful to the ear. How perfect sound
conductor the air Is was shown when the
balloon drifted far over the city to wood
ed part of the country, where the murmur
of the leaves moved by the wind, half q
mile below, was distinctly heard.

ABEL DRUGGER.
The Powerful Spell Wrought by D.
vid GarricL In That Part.

Garrick acted Abel Drugger in a CON
densed version of 1.-The Alchemist, " called
1.-The Apotheoary." 1t was said of his
performance that it would discomfort the
muscular economy of the wisest. His at
titude, his dread of offending the alchem-
list, his saying nothing, his gradual steal
ing i'll farther and farther, his Impotence
to be introduced, are imitable by none.
When he first opens his mouth, the fea-
lures of his countenance seem, as 1t were,
to drop upon his tongue 1t is all caution;
1t is tmorous, stammering and inexpress-
ible When he stands under the conjurer
to have his features examined, his teeth,
his beard his little finger, his awkward
simplicity and his concerns, mixed with
hope and fear and joy and avarice and
good nature are beyond painting.
such high compliment may or may not
have been deserved. At any rate Garrick
made a powerful impression, and good
story is told of the effect he produced in
the part. A Lichfleld grocer had come up
60 town with n letter Of recommendation
to Garrick from his brother Peter. Arriy-
ing in the evening, he went to the gallery
to see the wonderful actor Of whom no
had heard so much, intending to deliver
his credentials next morning But Gar
rick played Abel Drugger, and so disgust
ed the grocer that he would not go near
him.
Though Mr.. Garrick be your brother, J"
said he to Peter, he is one of the shah
best, mesnest, most pitiful hounds that
ever saw in the whole course of my life. !"
A young lady who had fallen desperate
ly in love with Garrick and had employed
IL go between TO make overtures of mar
riage was so disillusioned by his appear
ance in the character that she could never
again endure the thought of him.
Another highly successful exponent of
the part was Thomas Weston, the son or
the chief cook in the royal kitchen and
holder Of the Office of turnbroach' in the
culinary department Of George lis estab-
lshhent. Having performed Drusger at
Drury Lane while Garrick was abroad, he

A WONDERFUL MULE,

small it was or how quickly 1t was put

Bile, some odds and ends that nobody had
been able to find, and they were set down
in the reports as lost in fire. Sometimes
there was an opportune Indian uprising,
in which case lost in raid answered
equally well for clearance purposes There
was no fraud about it. fIt was simply n
handy way of getting around piece of
preposterous red tape, and that reminds
me, by the way, of comical little story.
In 1878 Lieutenant Wheeler was sent
down to New Mexico to make n geological
survey. and when he came back to his post
he reported among other details that one OF
his pack mules had tumbled over u preci-

THE CITY OF THE Sun GOD.
A syrian Relic of Pagan Worship
and Human SACRIFICES.

Baal 'Bck, the city OF tho sun god, lies
at the foot OF Anti-lIcbanon, in Syria. In
order 60 reach II yon must ride many miles
over bare brown plain, across ridges hoary
with olive and green with mulberry, be-
tween massive hills streakcd like the zebra.
Suddenly out Of the silent fields spring
mighty walls and pillars-ginnts who lift
their heads into the amber sky. The sight
Of these superhuman columns, beside
which the tallest trees look like blades Of
grass. fills one with anazement IL is not
alone their size and strength and beauty
that inspire wonder, but their very exist
ence in such solitude, far from the track
of mankind, We OF the nineteenth cen
tury-meek dependents on rail and steam
Arc so in the habit of associating cities
with modern means of communication
that we are astonished at the presence OF
massive ruins In the heart of valley re
mote from river and sea.
As we draw near our wonder grows, for
out of the thick grove, whose dark
branches sweep and moan like troubled
sea around the foot Of impcrishable cliffs,
there rise new wallis and new columns,
massive, ornate, stately even in their heap
ed confusion. This Is the Temple OF the
sun, relic of pagan worship that has
looked unmoved on the birth and death Of
dynasties and faiths. Led as by some
strong enchantment, we pass through the
grove, whose dark avenues, overgrown
with weeds, have echoed with the shrieks
Of the victims Of Baal, lord of the beav-
ems.
There, In the shadow Of that poplar,
may have stood the molten image, the hui
man figure with bulls head and out
stretched arms, from which children drop
ped into the fiery lap. They caused their
sons and daughters to pass through the
fire !" "They made themselves molten
images, even two calves, and made grove
and worshiped all the hosts of heaven and
served Baal IL Is not easy to associate
these bloody rites with such splendor of
design and colossal Workmanship, yet it
is beyond dispute that these walls have
seen the worship of Baal; that here incense
has been consumed in his honor; that his
priests, clothed in rich vestments, have

He Was Well Licked.

A very subdued looking boy of about l3
years, with long scratch on his nose and
an air Of general detection, came to his
teacher In one of the Boston public schools
and handed her note before taking his
seat and becoming deeply absorbed in his
book. The note read as follows:
Miss B.-Plese excuse James for not being
thare yesterday. He played trooant, but 1
CESS you don't need TO lick him for it, as the
boy he played trooanf with an him fell out, an
the boy licked him, an a man they sassed
caught him an licked him. Then his pa licked
him, an had TO give him another for sassing
me for telling his pa, SO you need not lick him
until next time. l CESS he thinks he better
keep in school hereafter.
