There is an anecdote in some volume
of French theatrical memoirs narrating
an experience Of Mile. Clarion. the
great tragic actress. with a pupil Of
hers. a girl of strong natural gifts for
the histrionic art. but far too frequent
and too eXuberant in her gesticulation.
So when the pupil was once to appear
before the public IN a recitation Mile.
Clarion hound the girls arms to her
side by a stiff thread and sent her thus
upon the stage.
With the first strong feeling she had
to express the pupil tried to raise her
arms. only to be restrained by the
thread. A dozen times In the course OF
her recitation she was prevented from
making the gestures she desiid until
at the very end she could stand It nc
I longer and In the climax of her emo
tiOn she broke her bonds and swung
/ her hands to her head.
When she came off the stage. sh,
went humbly to where Mile, ClairOI
was standing in the wings and apollo

In October, 1876, a consultation was
held at Omaha by the governors of Iowa,
Dakota, Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri and
Minnesota to devise means of Kidding the
country of the pest of locusts, says the
Kansas City journal. But this consulta-
tiOn brought out nothing new. Every rem
edy that was suggested had been tried
with the exception Of just one, and that
was prayer. This was suggested by the
governor Of Dakota, but it was not sober
ly received by any save Governor Pills
bury OF Minnesota. After consulting with
many ministers of his state this governor
issued q proclamation calling upon the
people Of Minnesota TO assemble in their
various churches on April &c. 1877, there
to pray to God for delivcra9ce from ''the
pestilence that walketh in the darkness
and, the destruction that wasteth at noon
day"
This proclamation created n profound
impression and was generally ohoycd. On
the 9th of April, the day following the
period of fasting and prayer, the sun
shOne hot and clear over Minnesota, and
an almost summerlike warmth penetrated
the moist earth down TO the larvae Of the
myriads of grasshoppers. Quickened by
the general warmth, the young lOcusts
crawled to the surface In numbers that
made the countless sWarms Of the proceed
ing summer seem insignificant, In mum
bers sufficient to destroy the crops and
hopes Of half q dozen states,
For day or so the warm and balmy
weather lasted. then 1t grew colder. ant
one night the moist earth was frozen anC
with it the unmatched Larvae and th'
young and crawling locusts above ground

The widowed Queen Margherita Of
Italy has recently come into possession
Of a rather grewsome relic-namely, the
bullet that killed her husband, King
Humben. The queen keeps the bullet in
a beautifully jeweled reliquary of crystal
and silver gilt, and it occupies a cOnspic-
nous place just above the prize dicu in her
bedchamber.
When the surgeons had extracted the
bullet after death. the authorities at Mill
an forwarded it to the minister of justice
at Rome. along with the documents and
papers relating to the assassination. The
facts came to the notice Of the mistress
Of the queens wardrobe, who repeated
the matter to her majesty, and the queen

DO No, Drink while EatInE.

LIQUIDS at meals if taken too often or
too careIessly are liable to dilute the
gastric juices. Take no liquid of any
kind when food is in the mouth. Take
as little as possible till the close Of the
meal The digestive agents themselves
being fluids. it is reasonable to suppose
that an excess Of liquids taken with
the food will have a tendency to dilute
and thereby weaken the digestive
iuices.-Ladies' Home Journs'
