AaaInst the STAGE.

Not long since John NJ. East, the
noted English actor was touring the
provinces with company PLAYING
"An Ideal Husband" and overheard
a woman give 4 practical reason for
not attending the performance, re-
lates the Chicago Chronicle. She
was examining the bills outside the
theater.
AN --a an idle husbandw Mr..
East heard her mutter. 'I've got
one of that sort at home. ! don't
pay my money 20 go in ,here,"
On another occasion Mr.. East
wished TO produce little sketch he
had written for the music hall stage.
A dog was necessary for the action
of the piece. He searched the col
umns of The Exchange and Mart
and finally entered into communica-
tion with n lady at Streatham who
was anxious TO dispose of big
Newfoundland, At The end OF a
lengthy interview Mr.. East casually
mentioned that he wanted to use
the dog in variety sketch. The
lady looked blank He explained

TRANSPARENT MIRRORS.

Mirrors that ore can see through
are new invention already coming
into use. They are of so called
"plGt:nized glass;" being backed
Nh! a compound made of 95 per
cent silver and per cent platinum,
and, optieaily speaking, they are ex-
ceedin-ly curious and interesting.
Looking into glass of this kind,
one finds first rate reflection. 1t
Is a mirror and nothing more. At
the same time person on the 9TH
er side can see directly through it.
For example, glass of this sort
placed in front of the prescription
desk in an apothecary shop perfect
ly eonceals the prescription clerk
and his apparatus Thus the pri-
vacy Of that department is secured,
while on his part the clerk is able to
survey the shop and see everybody
who comes in, just as if the mirror
were ordinary glass. 1t is transpar-
ent 10 him, but is like any common
mirror from the viewpoint of people
in front. II is easily seen that glass
of this kind is likely TO be useful for
a good many purposes. 1t can be
put in the doors of dark bathrooms
or of any other rooms where privacy
is desirable and light is wanted,
Anybody who has observed his own
reflection in the plate glass win
dows Of shops will understand the
principle well enough. The effect
is merely enhanced by an extremely
thin coat Of platinum silver, which
allows light to pass through and yet
furnishes an excellent looking glass.
The process consists in pouring over
plate glass nitrate of silver and plat
mum and then applying rochelle
salts.-Saturdsy Evening Post

once more prominently in the

knows not what. The subscriber
picks UP his paper, notices a list
of subjects and their authors and
thinks that he has struck a COM
pendulum of useful information
and not exactly in need of same
passes on. But, however true
the foregoing may be, the great
Ell fact remains that the future
history Of the nation may be read
between the lines of those same

the other sees the possibilities.

that South Dakota takes the cake
when you come. to talk about fertile
soil. A farmer planted small
house 10 xsI2 on his quarter section
and the next year it had grown into
a large, pleasont farm ,,.ouse with
green blinds and veranda attach
ment. His pump had grown into
windmill, and instead of one COW he
had whole herd. His land had run
over its boundery and covered three
quarters Of section. He had
grown from slim dyspeptic person
to an individual of over 400 pounds
and his pocketbook had grown SO
heavy he had to invest in govean-
ment bonds. Who says South
Dakota soil is not productive?
