VILLAGE POSTMASTER" RAIN.
The Way the Stage Rainmaker Brings It
and Disposes of 1t.


Many who have witnessed the per-
'ormance of THE Village Postmaster"
In the Great Northern theater have
wondered how it was possible to turn
real water on the stage in the first ace
without completely flooding the the
ater 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 ten
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 We're deluged. Behind rhe
scenes. however, it can be seen 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 on 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 cur
tain falls Il dozen stage hands seize the
blanket and lift up the corners. so
that the water is drained off very
quickly. The stage is left perfectly
dry and it takes only about two min
utes longer to set the next scene than
it 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.

WHERE COFFEE CAME FROM.

Legend Sslves the Lethean Berry . Ro-
mantle Origin and H,sto,y.
There IL extant a tale Of the discov-
cry Of coffee, a story which might have
suggested to Charles Lamb the idea
for his Dissertation on Roas; Pig"
This is the legend: Toward the mid
die OF the fifteenth century a poor Arab
was travelling in Abyssinia, and fnd!ng
himself weak and weary from fatigue
he stopped near a grove. Then being
in want of fuel to cook his rice. he cut
down a tree. which happened to be
full OF dead berries. His meal being
cooked and eaten, the traveller discov-
cred that the half-burned berries were
very fragrant. Collecting number Of
these and crushing them with stone.
he found that their aroma had in
creased to great extent. While Won
dering at this he accidentally let fall
the substance into can which con-
tained a scant supply of water. lo.
what miracle. The almost putrid
liquid was instantly purified. He
brought It to his lips: it was fresh.
agreeable. and in a moment after the
traveller had so far recovered his
strength and energy as to be able to
resume his journey. The lucky Arab
gathered as many berries as he could.
and having arrived at Arden. in Ara
bia, he informed the multi of his dis
covery. This worthy divine was an
inveterate opium smoker. who had
been suffering for years from the eff
fects OF that poisonous drug. He tried
an infusion of the roasted berries and
was so delighted at the recovery Of his
own vigor that. In gratitude to the

him published by Tandy. Wheeler & Co.
on Denver. The verses were originally
printed in the Denver Tribune when Mr..
Field was on its editorial stan. Many
of the poems have a local interest to
merit. All of them are permeated with
that sympathy and pathos which was
such a marked characteristic of his later
work. We understand the advance sale
of this book has been very large. and it
