VILLAGE POSTMASTER" RAIN.
The Way the Stage RaInmaker Brings 1t
and Dlsposes of It.

Tbs Way the Stage Rainmaker Brings It
and Disposes of It.
Many who have witnessed the per-
Torrance Of '"rhe Village Postmaster"
in the Great Northern theater have
wondered how It was possible to turn
real water on the stage in the first act
without completely flooding the the
alter and the dressing rooms and all
the people who failed to run away in
time, says the Chicago Chronicle. The
rain storm is manufactured by a very
simple device and, while about ton
barrels of water falls during the
storm, there is no flood, and every
thing is so well arranged that none Of
the performers gets even damp unless
some accident occurs
Two perforated iron pipes reaching
entirely across the stage are concealed
In the flies, where they take up little
room, one about six feet behind the
other. When the signal is given for
the storm the water is turned on and
pours down upon the stage. From
the front it looks as though the entire
stage , were deluged. Behind the
scenes, however, it can be seer that
the water is coming down in two
streams. Onlookers see Frank Nor
daunt, the village postmaster, standing
in the rain, and they wonder how he
dries his costume to use it for another
act. |In'reality Mr.. Mordaunt is stand
ing between two lines of rain and
does not get wet at all, although he
occasionally puts his umbrella under
the falling water in order to heighten
the realistic effect.
The water. falls upon a big rubber
blanket which is lying OF the stage at
the opening Of the act. In the center
Of this blanket is a brass funnel lead
ing through a hole in the stage to an
outlet below. The moment the eur
tain falls n dozen stage hands seize the
blanket and lift up the corners, so
that the water is drained of very
quickly. The stage is left perfectly
dry and it takes only about two min
utes longer to set the next scene than
1t would under ordinary circumstances
A rain storm was first successfully
initiated in this country when "The
Village Postmaster" was produced.
The effect had been obtained in Euro
pean theaters before, but only by de.
luging the stage and all the members
of the company, a process that made
the stage rain storm both unpopular
and Improbable.

ALUMINIUM Houses.

A Klondike man conceived the idea
Of making small houses Of aluminium,
and carried out the idea by having
sheets of PROPER size made for ship
ment there. The lightness of the white
metal, combined with the manner in
which it could be slowed away, hadrec-
commended itself as being superior to
any other material. At the Pan-Ameri-
can exposition visitors viii have the
opportunity Of seeing a small building
made Of aluminium.

The Hon. Joel r. Poinsett, a native
OF South Carolina, and one of her
most gifted sons, during the latter part
of the administration of John Quincy
Adams, it will be remembered, repre-
sented the United States at the capital
Of Mexico, which was then much dis
tracted by internal dissensions. While
Mr.. Poinsett resided there, the city
was captured by one of the %contending
factions, and he and his family in
Cured no small degree of personal
danger from the violence of the SOL
diers, by whom they we're suspected
of afording concealment to certain OBJ
noxious individuals. In the height Of
the notification controversy after his
return, in an address delivered to the
people of Charleston, the following elo-
quent passage occurs:
Wherever I have been, I have been
proud of being a citizen of this great
republic. and, in the remotest corners
of the earth. have walked erect and
secure under that banner which our
opponents would tear down and tram
pie under foot. 1 was in Mexico when
that city was taken by assault. The
house Of the American ambassador was
then, as it ought to be, the refuge Of
the distressed and prosecuted; it was
pointed out to the Infatuated soldiers
as a place filled with their enemies.
They rushed to the attack. Ny only
defense was the flag of my country,
and it was flung out at the instant that
hundreds of muskets were leveled at
us. Mr.. Mason and myself placed
ourselves beneath it's waving folds.
We did not blench. for we felt strong
in the protecting arm of this mighty
republic. We told them that the flag
that waved owe us was the banner Of
that nation to whose example they
owed their liberty, and to whose pro-
lection they were indebted for their
safety. The scene changed as by en-
c%hantment, and the men who were on
the point of attacking my house and
menacing the inhabitants, cheered the
flag of this country. and placed senti-
nels to protect it from outrage. Eel
low-citizens, in such a moment as that.
would it have been any protection to
me and mine to have proclaimed my
self a Carolinian? Should l have been
here to tell you this tale, If / had hung
out the Palmetto and the single star?
Be assured that to be respected abroad,
we must maintain our place in the
Union!"

sumo Vast Quantities.
"The quantity Of q%uinine taken by
foreigners on the southeastern coast Of
Mexico is something Incredible" said
a resident of this city who is interest
ed In coffee culture in the sister re-
public. "There is a general belief
among the Americans and English all

necessary for the preservation of life,
and tiey keep full of it from one years

They generally keep the STUFF IN

from perspiration, and when they feel
like taking a dose they dig in, with
one of those spatulated knives that
they all carry and swallow as much

The admirers of Eugene Field will be
interested in a new volume of verses by
him published by Tandy, Wheeler & Co..
on Denver. The verses were originally
printed in the Denver Tribune when Mr..
Field was on its editorial staff. Many
of the poems have a local interest to
~Coloradoans in addition to their literary
merit, All of them are permeated with
