The people who live in stageland
have the strangest ways. ! sat in q
box in one of the theaters one evening
and could see into the wings on the
prompt side OF the stage. A comic
opera was on, and saw one of the
leading women come and take her
stand there In the wings, waiting for
her cue. l could see her quite plainly,
and watched her with curiosity, won
dering If she were not cold in the tights
and thin gauze of her scant costume.
The comedian began the long speech,
the last word of which was to call her
on. She bowed her head, her lips moved,
and thrice she made the sign of the
cross with devoutness which left no
room for doubt that she was actually
praying. An instant later she had
frisked out on the stage with laugh
and a dance step and wink that was
anything but pious. Nobody seeing
her could have dreamed that just the
moment before she was actually pray
ing-praying for guidance In her work,
praying for strength to succeed, as
earnestly and with just as much faith
and reverence as If she-well, as IL she
were anything In the world but a dane
ing girl In comic pera.-Washington

ut is not necessary to do that, as is
commonly supposed" said lawyer
"You may take your scissors and cut
out the adhesive mot the impressed
stamp and stick it fast to your new en-
velope with mucilage Notwithstanding
the adhering piece of the old envelope.
1T does not look nice and may be-
come detached in the mail, but if the
stamp is a genuine, unused, adhesive
stamp it is not questioned. The gov
eminent when 1t sells an adhesive 2
cent stamp undertakes for such consid-
Grafton to transport and deliver to des-
tination the letter to which it Is affixed.
The fact that it has a piece OF an en-
velope to which it was formerly at
tached, but not used or deposited for
mailing, does not relieve the govern
ment 10 execute its part of the con-
tract when the letter Is deposited for
mailing, the stamp being otherwise
perfect.
"An impressed stamp, however, cut
from an envelope Is defective and in
valid for postage purposes. 1t is as
tonishing how many of these are used,

Frequently, however, delays occur, and
then the passengers kill time by going
ashore, and the native Is always in
wait to sell them shillalahs and other
things, such as bog oak jewelry, canes,
etc., which are supposedly indigenous
to and characteristic of Ireland.
Some Of the shillalahs are wonder

landed in Ireland for the first time in
thlrty-nine years. The Decentralization
from the royal yacht was accomplished
at 11:3O n. IN. The commander of the

ty and the ride from Kingstown to
Dublin commenced in splendid wealth
er and before huge and good.natured
crowds.
At the entrance 10 the city she re-
ceived an address of welcome and
handed the lord mayor reply. The
queen appeared TO be much affected by
the warmth of her welcome. Mr..
Burke, the son of the former city
sword-bearer took the place of Mr..
James Egan, the sword-bearer who
had refused to otficiate, but the lord
mayor himself handed the sword and
key to her majesty, who touched them.
The ceremonies ut the city gate were
most picturesque. LOndon's jubilee

lips, declared that the reception and
CeISllonleS were the HHcSJ he 0Hu ever
seen, far surprising those of the great
jubilee. In reply to the address of
welcome of the township commission

the following to the chairman:
