I know that on the day of the performance 1 am nervous end agitated, and as the time draws nearer and nearer suffer more and zaiore from stage fright. When the mo- Enent arrives for me to leave my room and go before the footlights, my whole being Is dominated by 8 sensation os abject terror.

Lonaea,s strange Fountain.

4 fountain of mercury is the most interesting sight in big exhibition now being held in London. and it att tracts large crowds every day. Mer- eury, or quicksilver, is nearly fourteen times heavier than water, and 1t must seem strange to see flat irons and large chunks of rock floating around upon it's surface in the lower basin. The mer- cury falls in constant shower of sil- yer spray from basin seven feet above the one in which these heavy objects are floating, and it Is raised back up into this upper basin by an endless chain" upon which are fastened twen- weight tiny buckets, which dip into the mercury and carry it up, one after the other Ire entire fountain is paint ed black, and when it is lit up at night the silver rain sparkling in the electric light against a black background is very pretty. Two and half tons of mercury, costing s2,97o. is the amount used in this remarkable fountain.-- Pittsburg Dispatch.

 Must Not Speak Too Freely.
 The editor of a small provincial pas per in Austria was in great difficulty to find a fit subject for his leading article, having been too intent upon other business or upon pleasure to provide one. The last moment had come and the editor was in despair. He tortured his brain in vain, when he suddenly was inspired by a happy thought and dashed off the lines: After carefully perusing the leading article written for the present number by one of the ablest of our contributors, we have ar rived at the conclusion that 1t may De misinterpreted by the authorities and regarded as an attack upon the gov ernment. We ourselves consider It to be perfectly innocent, but, as we arc unwilling, for our readers sake, as we'll as for our own, to have our news paper eonfseated. we have very un- willingly, though. as we think, pfu- dentlys resolved to withdraw the arti- cfe. This must serve ae the apology to eur readers for the blank space in our present issue" The journal was pub Yshed in the evening, and the sly ed- stor. after performing this little piece of st=atagem, left the office in high humor As soon as he arrived in the office next morning 8 clerk came up to him, with doleful expression. and said, sHerr Redaktor, the paper is confseated by the police!" For what reason?" asked the astonished editor. =For malicious ridicule of the institu- tions of the Austrian empire by the omission of the leading article, re- piled the nlan.-New York Press,

Swords May Be Abolished.

The suggestion of substituting a Martini-Metford earbine for the sword an officer usually carries is being larges ly discussed in military circles. The objection against the sword is that when marching through hil1y country it hampers an officers movements in getting over rough ground, while a carbine could be used as walking stick, thus being a great help and SUD- port.

The only buildings In the world
which are earthquake proof are tho
japanese pagodas, There are many
which are 200 or 500 years old. ana ~
solid as when first built, The reason
lies In their construction. A pagoda
Is practically a framework OF heavy
timbols. which starts from Wide base
ana Is Ia itself a substantial structure,
but Is rendered still more stable by u
peculiar device, Inside the framework
and suspended from the apex Is a long,
heavy beam OF timber, two feet thick
or more. This hangs from one end OF
the four sides. four more heavy tim
beers. and. II the pagoda be very lofty
sim more timbera are added TO these.
The whole forms an enormous pondu-
lum, which recedes within six feet OF
the ground. When the shock OF an
earthquake rocks the pagoda tho PEN
dulum swings in unison, and keeps the
confer OF gravity always at the base
OF the framework, Consequently tho
equilibrium OF the pagoda is never dis
turhcd.
