The Two Romeos.

Joe Jefferson told this story: David
Garrick and Spranger Barry were both
playing Romeo at the same time in
London. Barry played it at Drury
Lane on the Monday and Garrick play
ed it the next night at Covent Garden,
and the town was divided as to which
was the greater Romeo-in fact, there
was quite great excitement about it,
and they acted it upon such different
lines and with such marvelously differ
ent conceptions that the people argued
the case as to which Shapespeare in
tended. The fact is that Shakespeare
intended it to be acted we'll, and if
one mans temperament suited it best
to act in that way it would do for an
other temperament the other way.
$50 they asked Mrs. Siddons, who
was the Juliet alternately with the
same Romeo, which she considered bet
ter of the two, and she said: Tt is diff
cult to say; they are both wonderfully
great, but I will tell you how they
impress me in the balcony scene. In
the balcony scene Garrick seems so
eager, so intense and so full Of fire and
spirit that Pm afraid he'll jump up in
the balcony to me, and Barry is so low
able and fascinating that Pm afraid I
shall have to jump down from the bal
cony to him."

Why the Judge Paid the Bill.

Why the Judge Paid the Bill.
For this story Of the relation of poll
tics and medicine the Philadelphia
Medical Journal vouches: A physician
was summoned in haste to attend the
child Of q family that lived in two
rooms in the heart of large Ameri-
can city-not New York. The child had
been seized suddenly and seriously
and just at election time. The mother
was in despair, and when the doubtful
prognosis was given she broke into
wailing and violent self condemnation
fol some horrible sin Of the family to
which she said the child's illness was
due-a direct punishment for their
crime. She would go and curse the mag
istrate for 1t all, her husband should
resign from ''the force" and such evil
ways should be renounced forever.
Curious to know how the magistrate
could be held responsible for the child's
Illness, the doctor finally secured the
confession that the crime of the poor,
conscience stricken woman consisted
in allowing the names Of many fraudu-
lent voters to be registered as residing
in her house, in swearing to the lie,
etc. The magistrate also had demand
ed this Of all the neighbors in return
for indescribable political favors.
The child recovered, and the magis-
trate paid the physician's bill.

The Poisonous Pineapp1e.

"It is notorious fact" says The Ma
tional Druggist, "that the pineapple is
considered the least healthy of all the
edible fruits Of the tropics by those
who know anything Of the matter. The
juice of the green and growing plant
is credited in Java, the Philippines and
throughout the far east generally with
being a blood poison Of most deadly
nature. 1t is said to be the substance
with which the Malays poison their
krishcs and daggers and is also credit.
