MRS. POTTER AS CALYPSO IN ULYSSES"
depend entirely upon the syndicate"
for their bookings are beginning to
complain of the quality and small num-
Der Of attractions provided. Naturally
the syndicate would prefer to meet
this difficulty by supplying stars CO
their own manufacture, for the double
reason that they are apt to be less ex-
acting than established favorites and
are besides usually bound to them by
contract for long term of years.
On the other side we find the inter
ests which if not directly antagonistic
to the syndicate" are at least to a
great extent independent of it. These
people wish to make the best possible
showing and instinctiyely turn toward
the star making industry as way out
of the difficulty. The greater the num-
Der Of stars they are able to offer the
better are the terms they get and the
greater is the attention paid to their
demands.
That this condition does not make for
the Improvement of the American dra-
ma goes without saying but it is prob.
ably better to have the star making in
dustry active in both directions than TIC
have it confined to those interests
which in the opinion of most persons
are inimical to the advancement of
American theatrical art
Richard Mansfield was in comic op-
era when | first saw him, and when
these periodic fulminations of his ap
pear in the newspapers nowadays !
cannot help thinking that, great as he
is in tragedy, comedy is probably his
forte
There is, so far as have been able to
learn, just one theatrical authority who
affects to take seriously Mr. Mans
fields declaration that In three years
he will practically retire from the
stage and devote his time To the writ
ing Of plays. That one person, strange
ly enough, answers to the name of
Richard Mansfield.
If Mr.. Mansfield should be able mean
while to accumulate fortune sufh-
GENTLY large to enable him to indulge
in the luxury Of producing his own
plays, we may yet see something
unique from his pen. But if, on the
other hand, he merely intends to per-

Of listening to long dissertation from
Mr.. Mansfield on the sort of drama

produced. Besides, one cannot easily

ORANGES AS CARD-CHIPS.
by Turks tn Keep Themselves
Awake.

During RamaZan the sale of oranges
in Constantinople fell off in most
surprising manner, and the reason was
still more curious, says the London
Telegraph. 1t was because the gov
eminent had suddenly issued an order
prohibiting the game of "skambil
kat" in public places, and had seized
all the cards. At first the connection
between oranges and a card game does
not appear clear, but it comes about
in this way: At the time of Rama2an
all Turks try to keep awake as much
as possible, and the cafes are full at
night. The assembled crowds of p0r-
tiers, boatmen, etc, pass the hours
PLAYING cards. dominOes, or backgam-
mon, but the favorite game is skambil,
as it finishes very quickly and is no
trouble.
The keepers of the cafes used to in
sist on each player (here are FOUR
buying an orange for half-penny,
the winner taking the lot. In this way
large quantities of oranges were dis
posed of, but the business suddenly
came TO an end with the stoppage of
"skambil," for dominoes and other
games take too long to make an or
ange a sufficient stake.

NOVEL CURE FOR SNAKE-BITE.
Mosquitoes Save Mans Life b,
Drawing out the Poison of
IL RATHER.

"Talkin' about rattlesnakes,' said
an Erie railroad brakeman, according
to the New York Sun, did you ever
hear how the mosquitoes saved a
mans life up near Gulf Summit, in
PENNSYLVANIA, last summer?
well, while getting out railroad
ties over back of Summit, Abe More
house was bitten in the leg by rat
tlesnake. A doctor was at once sent
for and the leg was bandaged tightly
above the wound. 1t was expected
that Morehouse would die before the
doctor could come up there on his
wheel, but he didn't. just as soon
as the leg was barred to put on the
bandage, it was attacked by a swarm
of mosquitoes, and when the doctor
arrived he found the man as well as
ever and lively as cricket, but the
ground was covered with dead and
dying mosquitoes. They had sucked
the poison from Warehouses; wound
and saved his life. This was hard on
the mosquitoes, but ! presume More
Louse's life was worth saving"

A LOAF CENTURIES OLD.
1t Was Found in Cnye-Dwe1Iing In
Arizona and Is Now In

Herbert Brown, superintendent Of the

port.
The loaf is undeniab!y bread. and
without doubt is of great age 1t was
found embedded in the ashes wherein
II was baked probably hundreds or per-
haps Thousands of years ago. 1t had
very plainly been wrapped in cloth or
mat, and the marks Of the fiber Of the
cloth are visible in the dark, brick-like
mass. Mr.. Brown is,of the opinion that
the bread was made of mesquite beans.
roughly ground in metates by the
aboriginal housewives of centuries ago.
With it was found store OF ancient
sacrficial implements. stone axes and
arrowheads. The loaf has been sterii-
lied by the curator Of the museum, and
has been sealed within glass jar.

WHISPERS ON WASHINGTON
Small Marble statue of the First Pres.
ident That Takes on Sim
EuIar Appca

Judson Clayton, proprietor of the
Lady Washington inn, at Huntington
Valley, Pa, says the Philadelphia
Evening Telegraph, has small mar
bic statue of Gen. George Washington
on the lawn adjoining his house that
requires constant shaving to keep it
from raising a beard and mustache.
Periodically a growth of moss makes
its appearance on the upper lip, chin
and cheeks of the stone figure. and if
left untouched for any length of time
1t develops into a close-cropped beard
and mustache, giving TO the image of
the Father of His Country an ex-
tremely dandified appearance. If the
moss is not interfered with il will
grow to a point resembling the APP
proved cut that BARRIERS give to the
boards of men Of fashion. Every few
months the action of the weather
causes the face of he marble statue
to become coated with the velvety
moss, and n shave is in order. The
freak whiskers have made the statue
quite curiosity in the vicinity.

THE ABYSSINIAN CALENDAR
Names of the Days and Years Are
Those of Snints-Mcth0d of
Reckoning Time.

A fearful and wonderful thing is
the Abyssinian calendar. Nearly every
day is saints day, and is known by
its proper name, and not by its date.
For instance, if YOU ask an Abyssinan
whether a certain thing happened on
the 14th of Hadar (the equivalent of
our November 23), he will not under
stand what you mean; but if you say:
"Was it on Abuna Aragawe (the name
for that day. that you stole that
sheep?" compromising smile will
overspread his handsome and intelli-
gent features.
The year is divided into IL months
of 30 days each, and at the end of the
year, to make up the 365 days, are
added five days, called "Quagme.'
Each year in succession is called
Matthews, Markos, Lukos, Johannis
Matthews, Markos and Johannis have
each "Quagme" of five days, but
Lukos, or leap year, has q 'Quagme"
of six days. The Abyssinian year be-
gins on our September II, and, al
though dating as we do from the birtl,
ol NhllHt' thtS are heally elPht years
behind MS in time-Septembe II, 1900,
was in their calendar LIST Maskaram,
1893. Their method of reckoning the
hours of the day is also peculiar, to
our notions. They count the day ns be-
ginning Mt sunrise, and not at mid
night, as we do. Thus our seven n. IN.
is their ~ o'clock day; eight p. m. is
their one o'clock day, and our six p. IN.
with us would be two o'clock night
with them, and our four a. IN. would be
their ten O'Clock niUht.

lean Drummer.

Persistence may be good quality,
but judgment is better one, and the
young American in the following story,
told by Frederick Palmer, evidently
became convinced of it, says Youths
Companion.
An American drummer, fresh from
our direct methods of business, called
on NJ. de White, the Russian minister
of finance, to get certain information
necessary for the sale of his goods.
The minister refused it, The young
man persisted. The minister still re-
fused. Then the young man declared.
You are the only man who can give
me what | want. I'm not going back
to my folks and tell them that | could
not do any business. I've got to know.
l could get the same thing in two min
utes in America, and I'm not going to
leave the room until"
The minister pressed an electric but
ton. In walked, two guards. The min
lister spoke to them in Russian, and d.
rectly the young man found himself
walking down the Nevsky Prospect
with an uncongenial escort.
As he thought the matter over in jail
he concluded that his hand was not
strong enough, as he putt, to bluff the
Russian empire. Within an hour he
was led back to the presence of De
Witte, who told him that a decent apol-
ogy would save further trouble. After
the young man made it, De Witte gave
him the information, and with.a remin-
der that it was not wise to be rude,
even to ministers of state.
