TRICKS OF CHOIR SINGERS.
How They Carry on Conversation
While Pretending to Sing
the Service.

One of the English bishops has been
complaining that he notices about
many choir boys and men want of rev.
erence and of attention to the services
that are going on, and he eXenplities
this by saying that the choristers talk
in song and have a sort of "voluntarv''
OF their own wherein they drop the
original words and, to sacred music.
chant: 81 am so hungry; 1 hope we
shall finish SOON"
But this in reality, is very old COM
plant, and the average stage manager
is far more afflicted by it than even are
cholrmasters connected with places of
worship. The rows of chorus men and
girls one sees on the stage carry on long
and animated conversations about
everything under the sun. and all to mu-
sic. And all the time they indulge in
the gestures they have been taught as
appropriate to the scene, their thoughts
are really with the themes of their mu.
steal chat, and thus it is that these ges-
lures seem so wooden and artificial.
And it is fact that the great bulk of
the chorus people engaged in the high
est class italian" opera sing any glib
berish they please.

The western frontier often contrib

that never are exploited in the public

occurred recently at little mission

and people came from miles around to
see the knot tied. The little mud and
wood structure in which Sunday meet
ings We're held once in two or three
weeks was filled before the hour for
the ceremony, and the minister was
there promptly on time. But the couple
were laggard. Minutes grew into quar-
ter hours and even to an hour, but the
man ard woman appeared not. The
minister read the Scriptures, said a
prayer and two hymns were sung, and
still no bridal couple. Then it was pro-
posed to have short addresses to fill IN
the interval. Then the minister gave
out hymn, and just as the people had
sung:
oh. happy day, that fixed my choice,
Well may this glowing heart rejoice"
the couple entered the church. The GER
emony was promptly performed, con-
gratulations were exchanged and tie
new couple started for their ranch. As
they went from the doorway the min
lister said: Let us close by singing the

darkies and Italians, because most OF
the shining in Chicago is done by one

in barber shops and shoe stores and the
Italians run most of the 'parlors.'
NOW, you watch a darby, and if he's

there's two of them they'll chatter to-.
gethei like magpies. And the darby is
so full of music and dance that he's
got to put them into his work. He'll
put in all sorts of fantastic motions

he were picking banjo or cutting a

POOLING THE SHARKS.
Feeding the Wolves of the Ocean
DumplinEs That Made Them
Throw Fits.

This being the season of fish yarns
John Richie, who, says the Chicago
Times Herald, has for years conducted
most of the shorthand work at nntiona!
conventions, sprung this story at the
Press club. 1t took the biscuit, so to
speak:
about the funniest thing saw he
said, twas while on a vessel down OIL
IIatteras inlet or some point near there.
One day we ran into about forty thou
sand million sharks. There was lot of
them, and | wondered if they were all
there for me. l do think sharks give
everybody sort of creepy feeling. We
had some fun with them. There was
passenger on board who had had some
experience with the beasts before. He
went to the cook and got him to make
lot of dumplings. He came on deck
with three or four dozen of them and be-
gan tossing them to the sharks. They
snapped them down eagerly. Now you
must bear in mind that these dough
balls in coming from the cook had time
to cool on the outside, so that as they
slipped down the shark throat he did
not notice anything out of the way. But
the inside of the ball was like fiery
furnace, and in minute after it had
been swallowed the heat began to act.
! don't believe there is anything hotter
than hot dough, and if not exposed to
the air it keeps hot. Well, you should
have seen those sharks jump and plunge
and throw themselves. never saw any
thing like it in my life, and, while am
always opposed to cruelty, it doesn't
seem as if there was any harm in doing
anything to a shark
