THE THEATER IN JAPAN.
The Best Place to Go to Study the
 Natives.

The Best Place to Go to Study the
 Natives.
 The theaters are the very places to study the Japanese, says Tokio cor respondent of the Baltimore Sun. In many theaters the entire house is di- vided by rails into square pens four by four feet, intended for four Japa- nese, but often containing half a dozen. The men and women are barefoot, walk the narrow dividing rails to reach their reserved seats The patrons kneel within these square pens, or, whee there are no pens, they squat upon the floor in little circular groups and smoke, eat, drink, fan themselves and chatter Many come in and go out al random; children run to and fro. Frequently the spectators bring lunch con and pass the day within the the ater, the play continuing unintecrupt- edly. The stage, which in some the- aters reyolves to change scenes, has two detached projections three feet wide, extending among the audience. Upon these projections the performers run, reciting and acting. Their acting Is sufficiently curious. A villain slain walks off the stage, Jap mops with dirty cloth the chief actors face while he is speaking. The prompter, dressed all in black (gown. hood and girdlel. will follow the actor all around the stage. Other persons, also in black, run to and fro across the stage. Those costumed in black are supposed to be invisible. Stage carpenters and help CTS often stand upon the stage ana gaze and laugh at the actors, and so on. The checking of the umbrellas and wooden shoes of the audience and the general scramble for them after the performance are very amusing.

r,nhlin Visited by a Cyclone.

Dublin, Ireland, was visited by a regular cyclone recently, which did a good deal of damage in the city. Ths cyclonic character of the storm may be judged by the marked course it took, passing over aarrow breadth. Tn one street the driver Of a hearse was blown off his seat, and only for some people holding on 10 the hearse it would have been over with the coffin. As 1t was. some of the mourning teaches were capsized, as were several cabs in the street. A number Of houses were blown. down. and roofs taken off by the storm. which was one os the most se were ever experienced in Dublin.
