THE BELLE OF NEW YORK.

Knoxville. Tenn, Tribune. Sept. IS, 1900.
The famous London and New York
Casino success, The Belle of New
York, will be on view at the theater
on Friday night, September 81. The
company which will present 1.-The
Belle of New York" in this city is
the same that played it originally
and the same that gave the piece 697
performance in London at the
Shaftesbury theater. In all they
played 1.-The Belle of New York
nearly 5000 times in America, Eng
land, Australia and South Africa.
An actress new to the American
audiences is Miss Beulah Dodge,
a dainty, winsome little woman,
who plays the pretty Salvation Army
lassie. Her success in the role, it is
said, is quite equal to that of Miss
Edna Mays. Most of the London
company is still with the organiza-
ton, which includes r. ]. Connolly,
James Darling, Joseph Kane, Arthur
Deagan. George Tollman, E. S. Tarr,
May Sailor, Flo Perry, Ermine Earle,
Louise Willard, La Belle Dusie and
beautiful and shapely chorus. The

as well as their cleverness, has es-

A Cruel I0kA.

a Yale Summit girl recently played a
cruel joke on her mother, and this is
how it happened: She accidentally
found II love letter that her father had
written to her mother in the halycon
days of their courtship. She read the
letter to her mother, substituting her
rwn name and that of her lover. The
mother raved with anger and stamped
her foot in disgust, forbidding her
daughter to have anything to do with
Il man who would write such nonsen-
steal stuff to girl. The girl then gave
the letter to her mother to read, and
the house became SO suddenly quiet
that she could hear the cat winking in
the back yard.-Saltsbury Press.

Our Endurance.

During life each member OF the
human body produces poison to itself.
When this poison accumulates faster
tSa1s 1t can be eliminated, which al
WSyS occurs unless the muscle has
am Interval Of rest, then will come
fatigue. which is only another express
siorfsfor toxic infection.
# the muscle is given an interval Of
rest, so that the cell can give of it's
waste product to keep pace with the
hew- productions, the muscle will then
iberate energy for long time. This
latter condition is what we call en-
durapce.
gLgke any other ponderous and in
tgicate machine, the body requires
time to get in harmonious working
order, The brain, nerves, heart and
skeletal muscles must be given some
warning Of the work they are expected
to perform. Ignorance of. this fact has
broken down many a young man who
aspired to honors on the cinder path.
The necessity Of getting all the parts
of.the body slowly in working order is
we'll understood by trainers and Jockeys
onsthe race track, as is evinced by the
preliminary warming up' they give
their xhorses, although 1t is doubtful If

WHAT ARE Volcanoes
They Are Not Burning Mountains al
d We Understnnd That Term.

They Are Not Burning Mountains as
We Understnnd That Term.
What are volcanoes?"
Nine out of every ten persons would
Immediately have an answer of some
sort to the question above, for have
they not lively remembrance of hav-
ing learned in their schoolbooks that
"a volcano is burning mountain, from
the summit of which are sent out smoke
and tlamesy' This popular fancy has
been exploded by scientists, whose
work is to explode popular fancies.
In the first place, volcanoes are not
necessarily mountains. In reality they
are just the reverse-that is. holes In
the earth's crust. Out of these are
thrown the materials which. accumu-
lating. form the heaps which we popu-
larly call mountains
These are. then. the result and not
the cause Of the action. Neither are
they burning" as we understand the
term. There is no combustion, nor any
action we might reasonably call BURN
ing"
The action need not necessarily take
place at the summit for erupuons are
Just as frequent at the sides or even
at the base. The SO called Smoke" is
nothing more or less than the clouds
of condensing steam which are formed
on every OCCASION when an eruption oc-
ours.
Lastly. the "fames." so called, are
merely the reflection of the mass Of
molten rock and material inside the
crater on the clouds of steam above,
thus appearing as glowing light. The
friction. too set up by the motion of
the materials causes electricity, and
hence the lightning discharges which
add to the Illuminating effect.-Pear-
sons Magazine.

ono Of 1Eoodx,s Jokes.


d. L. Moody was always full Of fun.
He saw the comic side of things, and
as boy enjoyed putting practical
foxes upon any one whom he well
knew. In the rear Of his Uncle Sam
qels retail shoe store in Boston was
cobbler's repair kit-seat, tools, avis,
etc, and the seat was, as usual, a piece
Of leather concavely shaped downward
at its center.
One day the workman on this saucer
shaped seat felt it becoming uncom-
fortably damp, then really moist. He
rose and saw damp spot on the seat.
Eupposing that a few drops Of water
had been accidentally dropped upon the
seat before he sat down to his work,
he folded an old newspaper and placed
It and sat comfortably down to resume
bis work. But the moisture seemed
strangely persistent. Rising again, he
found the paper becoming soaked with
water, and he stood perplexed, his
hammer in one hand and the soft, wet
paper In the other.
Looking this way and that in his
perplexity, he soon heard half chuc-
kle, half smoker, which could no longer
be repressed, and there behind the
door was the country boy, learning
how to be useful in a city shoe store,
as he really and rapidly did, but TAX
ing his fun as he went along. He had
placed Q shallow dish of water close
up to the underside of the center of
the leather seat, which only touched
the water when the weight Of the oc-
cupaht was upon 1t, SO three or four
smaM awl holes served his purpose for

An Incident That Happened In the
FrancO-Prussian War.

An Incident That Happened In the
Franco-Prussian War.
1t Is peculiar circumstance that
hardened and trained troops will go
through long fight surrounded by all
the horrors that are inseparable from
war without fiinching and with the ut
most apparent callousness, and the
same men will be struck terrified by a
single trifiing incident.
Every war of any Importance, partic-
ularly wars between civilized nations,
is prolific in incidents of trivial charac-
ter in themselves, but so unusual and
unnatural that they appeal to the nat
ural instructive horror Of men more
suddenly and intensely than perhaps
the main terrors of days of carnage
and surrounding scenes of suffering.
Such an Incident is the one, for exam
pie. which occurred at the battle of
Worth in the early days of the Franco
Prusslan war.
In the heat of the great battle wing
of the RUSSIAN army was charged by
the regiments of French cuirassiers in
the hope of turning the wing and facil-
itating the falling back of the French
infantry. But the cuirassiers were
driven back by the unfiinching Prus-
slams Again the cuirassiers charged,
and again they were driven back by
the withering fire of shot and shell.
For third time they came down
again. and as the enemy waited for
them to draw nearer a horrible, blood
freezing terror seized the Prussians,
and for moment it looked as If they
would turn and fly or be cut down
without defending themselves. But in
a moment they had pulled themselves
together and beaten back for the third
and last time the gallant cuirassiers.
The sight that terrified the Prussians
appears nothing very much in black
and white. 1t was a regiment of cuiras-
siers led at dashing rate toward them
by headless officer sitting upright in
his saddle and apparently encouraging
his men after having been decapitated
by cannon ball.-Cincinnati Enquir-

"uICHETErI.

.The sixteenth and seventeenth CEN
tpEfes' said John Fiske, "were the
661Tishing ages Of the witchcraft de-
Eusfon. Witchcraft, in the early ages,
was considered one Of the greatest of
crimes, as much SO as murder, robbery
or any other serious offense against
The law, and the belief in it was shared
blythe whole human race until the lat
tErrpart of the seventeenth century.
In England, in 1864, two women
were tried before Sir Matthew Hale,
charged with bewitching several girls
and a baby, and they were put to
heath, for at that time the evidence
seemed perfectly rational. In 1915, in
Genoa, 500 people were burned to
feath on the charge Of witchcraft. 1t
was the proud boast Of noted execu-
toner In northern Italy, at this time,
that in 10 years he had assisted in
burning 900 persons charged with sor-
csfy. In Scotland, between 1860 and
1909. 5000 people were put to death,
an : average Of 200 a year. The last
