SLANG OF THE STAGE.
Some Old Phrases That Are in Use by
 Actors,

Some Old Phrases That Are in Use py l Actors.
 | Followers of the dramatic prolesslon ! "the' profession, as they call u, are l noted for the way in which they com ' new words and abbreviate old ones, tc l suit all occasions. They are, perHaps, | fonder than any others Of thelr slang
 terms they delight to call themselves
 spros." and talk of their business as
 "biz.' The "biz" which interests them | most-from an artistic point or view | is the stage biz which includes all the work, by-plays, and gesticulations or a | piece
 | Nowadays the author supplies all this | "biz'; it was omitted, however. by | nearly all the early playwrite@, even as late as Shakespeare and his cotem- poraries, and in their plays has only been added since by different actors.
 The "biz" of a part is generally "cre- ated" by the actor who first undertakes
 a new part. He, with. the authors ald, elaborates it to suit his own interpre- tion of the character. Another actor playing the same role afterWard, how ever, does not alter the biz at all, even though it may strike him as un-
 necessary or unsuited to his own taste. Actors refer to properties as props v
 which include every article used in
 theatre for the production of piece
 Every actor has his own private prop
 basket in which is kept all his makeup
 clothes etc. and this he guards With an ever-vigilant eye.
 An actor who has no engagement IS
 said to be out of shop" word which is also the slang for theater. Even good actors when out of shop, are
 sometimes reduced to actual poverty. for no profession, except that of liter ature, is so precarious as the actors. Such men may often be spotted by brother ''pro" making use of their props" in private life for want of other apparel.
 A part where the actor has only to deliver his "cackle" to bring down the house is characteristically called q fiat" part and is said to play itself" To swallow a cackle" is to learn a part. or rather to study a part, which is done by dividing it into lengths of ten line seach. oft
 When an actor originates or quotes GCTnelnlnS dpploplldtelY, IL IS Cdlleu "cackling a wheeze." At Birmingham, England, once one of Keans benefits was a total failure, so in the last scene of the play CA New Way to Pay Old Debts), when allusion was made to the marriage of some lady-"Take her, sir" Kean suddenly added, and the Bir- mingham audience into the bargain"
 Another slang term is to gag" that is to make impromptu jokes and speeches, and thus save a stage wait. Good actors have been known to gag a whole scene without having even previously seen the text. There is a story told of Hatton, who was once per- forming the part of Barbarossa, at Gosport. In the scene where the tyrant makes love to SaDphra, and reminds her of his services against the enemies of her kingdom, Hatton was at loss and could not catch the word from the | prompter. Another moment and ter rife hiss would have driven him from |

It is almost like coffee but the effects are just the opposite.~r Coffee npsets the stomach, ruins the digestion, af- fleets the heart and disturbs the whole nervous system.

CHARITIES IN CENTRAL AFRICA.

CHARITIES IN CENTRAL AFRICA.
 From time to time it has been rumor- ed that giraffes existed in British Cent ral Africa, on the Loangwa River, but, although that river valley has been ire quently visited during the last ten years by Europeans, no authentic information on the point has ever been obtained. Last month, however, a giraffe was shot on the east bank of the Loangwa in the Marimba district, by a European pro- spector, and it's skin Gncomplete) sent in to Captain Chichester, in Mpezeni's country The hinder half of the skin is being sent to the British Museum, and it is hoped that a complete spec- men may now be obtained.
 The existence of giraffes in Marimba is remarkable; the area in which they are found is extremely restricted, and their number appears to be very few. The one shot however, was in a herd of about thirty-tive. The nearest coun- try north of Marimba in which giraffes are known to exist is north of MarereS, where the Elton-C -Cotterill expedition met with them (many years ago). To the south Matabeleland is the nearest giraffe country.-British Central Africa Gazette

CIGAR STUMP PACKERS ORGAN
 TEE

Every visitor to Paris has observed the ragged individuals who perambu- late the boulevards and peer in among the tables and chairs in front of the cafes in search of cigar and cigarette ends which they deftly harpoon by means of bent pins on the end of q stick. The megottiers, as they are called. are now trying to form mu- | t,,al protection syndicate. Their rea- | son is that the police interfere with them too much, considering they are 1eAeu 'l4Blo eql leQl pug 'HIoJ elqeeoeed q lucrative one is thus rendered almost impossible. Such it appears is espec- ially the case in summer, when the streets are clean and the best customers of the megottiers pick up their own to- bacco. The fact that this is the bad season probably accounts for the pres- ent agitation. This singular trade oc- cllpies three classes of persons-the plck- CT, the cleaner and the salesman
 Everybody has seen the picker at work and observed how he combines begging herewith. In the evening the plckers meet at low wineshops in the Faubourg du Temple, where they find the clean CTS awaiting them, Newspapers are spread on the tables, and the cleaners set to work to undo the cigars and cig- arettes. Meanwhile the pickers eat their bread and sausage, and by spend three half-pence on glass of wine ob- tain the right to sleep in the establish ment as best they can till o'clock in the morning. At that hour the wine- shops are closed. But the open again at 8, when both cleaners and pickers en- ter, and by taking another glass of wine each may sleep till the morning.
 During the interval of closing and opening the tobacco, put up in packets, has been handede over to the salesmen, who dispose of it in workmen's quart CTS, like the Place Maubert, as the men pass on their way to work. The pur- chasers consist chiefly of masons, who all come from the country districts of Limousin and Grouse, and are delight ed to get a large packet of tobacco for tWOpence. There exist moreover, real tobacco shop keepers who purchase the vile stuff and mix it with good tobacco, the profits derived therefrom being nat
 urally considerable This practice does not exist to any great extent-Paris correspondence of the Pail Mall Gazette.

Last Saturday evening there
was rush" at Colorado College
in which the sophmores were the
aggressors. Yesterday morning in
chapel the president of the college
announced that one "soph'' had
been suspended A meeting of
that class followed and after three
hours of deliberation an ultimatum
was directed to the faculty to the
effect that unless the order of sus-
pension we're revoked. there would
be no more sophmore class in the
Colorado College this year. The
faculty had the matter under adj
visement, and at a late hour repre-
sentatives of the sophomore and
senior classes appeared before the
faculty, acknowledged the wrong,
and agreeing that nothing of the
kind should again occur during
cheir stay in college, the faculty
recalled the order for suspension.
1t is to be hoped the lesson has
been sufficiently severe.
