THURSDAY EVENING, APRIL 5, 1900.
Made II n Burlesque.

Franklin Fyles recalls some amusing
first night experiences in his article on
1.-THE Theater and Its People in The
Ladies' Home Journal. One he relates
is of Laura Don, now dead: "She had
the role Of an Egyptian princess In
Fresh, the American 1t was intend
ed that she should be seriously ana
sentimentaIly impressive. while the
late John T. Raymond. the star of the
company, should be contrastingly COM
zeal as the lover. But the audience
would not have 1t so. Nor was 1t any
thing In Miss Don's appearance, for
she was beautiful, nor In her acting
for It was clever, that made the people
laugh. 1t came of a miscalculation by
the author. The quick witted woman,
seeing that she could not control the
audience, resolved to humor It, BY an
exaggeration of speech and manner
she turned the part into burlesque,
and 1t was always after acted In that
way"
Mr.. Fyles also tells that "in 'Cleope-
ira as produced by the late Fanny
Davenport a general should have CIV
en- to his queen an impetuous account
of a battle which he had won. But he
stood wordless, silent, stuck fast. You
have come to tell me- Miss Davenport
said and then went on with the nara
tive which he should have spoken"

The Iceland Dinner,

In Iceland the natives dinner usual
ly consists Of dried fish and butter.
The fish Is ling or cod, which, when
caught, is split open and then hung on
the lines by the seashore to dry In the
cold winds and hot sun. When thus
preserved. they will keep for years,
being as hard as the neither milestone.
When wanted for dinner, the fish Is
well hammered by stone mallet and
then cut up into strips. In this state
it is eaten, but it is said that 1t
needs an Icelander's teeth to get
through the meal. The butter Is not
spread on the fish. but the two are
taken alternately. first a mouthful of
fish, then a mOuthful Of / tier. 1t
may easily be supposed that the Ice
lander Is thankful to have is jaws
well creased after every N .thful OF
the tough morsel.

A town that has played its part In
history for more than 100 years ought
to be forgiven for being little sleepy
by this time, although its new neigh
bors may be inclined to poke fun at It,.
1t is told that a BladeDsburg mer-
chant was doing in his store one day
when little girl came in with pitcher
and asked for quart of molasses. The
merchant yawned, stretched himself,
opened his eyes and then said In an In
tured tone:
"Well, amt there nobody what sells
molasses in Bladensburg but me"
