Virgins was harassed by the pos
session Of expensive tastes and the
non-possession OF means to crafty
them-a combination Of chcum-
stances which, being known, made i
extremely difficult for him to nego-
tiate ven a loan Of ten shiflings from
his associates. Parkin, in particular,
used 10 congratulate himself on the
fact that " iggins had never been in
his books for eyerso small an amount,
and steadfastly purposed that he
never should be.
Unfortunately for Parkin, how
ever, he was fond Of a practical joke,
and it was this fact that interfered
with the success Of his prudent de-
termination.
A number Of them were sitting in
the club reading-room one day, when
Virgins whispered to Parkin:
Let me have a fver for a few
minutes till | put up a joke on one Of
the fellows"
Parkin, ready for some fun and
s%uspecting nothing, handed him a
Is note, and was surprised a few
minutes afterwards to see Virgins
using it to pay sundry little losses at
cards, including a sovereign to Dig
gins, evidently borrowed.

amazement, 81 thought you were go-

BRITISH DRARATisTs.
More Than 5000 at Work Writing An
nualiY 10000 Plays.

nuaiiY 10000 Plays.
There is NO reason why the Eng
lish should be dissatisfied with their
dramatists numerically, whether or
not there is in the quality of their
output any ground fer satisfaction.
According to an authority who re-
Gently studied the subject, there
are no less than 1900 persons in Eng
land writing annually for the stage.
Of course, not all Of these arc
trained dramatists, says the New
York Sun. Among the 5000 are in
Guided the beginners who are max
ing their first attempt TO supply the
plays for which there is SO much de-
mand. At least cne-third are bud
ding Sapphos who deserve that name
additionally, although they have
long passed the age at which they
might be expected to bloom. The
cohort produces annually 10000
dramas.
Most of the writer's are very
young men and women. Not one
quarter Of their plays is read. Most
Of the manuscripts are sent back
without being opened. The aspi-
rants usually begin by writing long
and grewsome tragedies in verse.
After awhile they learn in one way
or another that the people like to be
amused, and turn their undeveloped
talents to farce. There is, it seems,
a regular course that they follow.
Fhe farce meets with no better fate
than the tragedy, even though it may
by chance be read.
Thenit seems, as regularly as if he
were going through some training,
the dramatist turns his aspirations
toward melodrama, and the manager
who has refused his tragedy in verse
and his farce, receives his melo-
drama. When that is returned after
the manner of the others, he writes
a one-act play, usually a comedy
Then the manager who has refused
his tragedy in verse, his farce and
melodrama, is the recipient Of his
one-act piece.
1t is more likely that he will find
fortune in this play than any Of the
Others. The majority Of writers for
the stage in England make their first
appearance as the writer's Of one-act
pieces, used as @curtain raisersD at
nearly all Of the English theaters.
But even this moderate luck is de-
MED to most Of the 1900 aspiring
dramatists, since out of the 10000
plays annually written, only 200
reach the stage, according to the esti-
mate Of the authority who has stud
led the subject. And the English
dramatists consider their lot more
difficult to bear than ever now, be-
cause the popularity Of plays by
American dramatists has made the
H
number Of writers larger still.

A RIcKETY HOUSE.

odd you know that a rickety old
ramshaekle of a house could stand
more wind than a good, substantial
house, asked q gentleman who
lives down on the lower coast, Of a
New Orleans Times-D Democrat re-
porter. "Well, it is a fact, neyerthe-
less, and a little experience / had a
few years ago brought the fact rather
forcibly to my attention. 1t was dur
ing the severe storm Of 1898, in the
month Of October. There was
great loss Of life and property as a
result Of the storm which swept the
lower coast at that time, and, in fact,
it was one of the most horrible things
of the kind ever encountered in that
region Of the world. ! had gone down
to my place to spend a week and had
carried my wife with me. The story
of the storm is well remembered by
persons living in this section Of the
country. The house in which we
stoppedwas a good, substantial build
ing. Out some distance from it was
an cid rickety shack, which was al
most ready to fall from its own
weight. 1t was actually held up by
props, The storm came on. The
wind and wave played havoc with
buildings along the coast. The
wreck was well-nigh complete. My
house went down in the crash. 1
came near losing my life, and my
wife came in an ace Of sharing the
saFas fate. But this is not the point.
/ was speaking of the difference be-
tween strong buildings and weak
buildings in the time Of storm. While
my house was smashed into smither-
Gems the old rickety shack to which
| have referred was left standing un-
touched and unframed. Now why
was this? There is in my opinion a
good reason for it. The building
that will give somewhat in the time
Of a storm is the one that will come
nearer standing a severe wind. All
buildings, of course, sway more or
less under high wind pressure. The
taller buildings in cities, the sky
scrapers as they are inaptly called,
sway to and fro when the velocity
is but little above the normal. Ex-
perts hold to the view that they
would topple and be RACED to the
ground but for this fact, and no
doubt they are right about it. The
house which / occupied on the lower
coast during the storm Of 1898 was
well built, and was made SO that it
would not yield the slight fraction OF
an inch to the wind. The old shack,
which had reached that condition
when it would give somewhat to the
force Of the wind, swaying to and
fro, stood out through it all. A
green sapling, one that is alive and
supple, viii stand more wind than
one which has been hardened by the
earlier processes Of lifelessness, and
it is about the same way with
