An evenings rattling fun is prom
ised when Henry Beresford, that odd
comedian, makes his appearance at
our cosy playhouse in George H.
Broadhurst's frisky farce '"The Wrong
Mr.. Wright" This young man comes
to us with the prestige of success
stamped upon his efforts. He is said
to be grotesque, amusing. awkwardly
graceful and his mannerisms and
verve are said to be magnetically
chaming. In this Broadhurst play he
is said to win laugh with every Line
he speaks, and his role-that of an
old woman-hating bachelor who be-
comes smitten with sleuth in petit
coats, yet tries to hide his infatuation
from his nearest and dearest-causes
many ridiculous complications which
produce the most hilarious and mirth-
provoking situations. His manager,
J. j. Coleman, has surrounded this
young star with a company of players,
many of whom will be recognized as
favorites by the votaries of the
thtatre.

How sciaanra Arc Made.

Though NO complexities are involved
ln the making of scissors or much skin
required, yet the process of manufac-
ture is very interesting. They are
forged from good bar steel heated to
redness, each blade being cut off with
sufficient metal to form the shank, or
that destined to become the cutting
part, and bow, or that which later on
Is fashioned into the holding portion.
For the bow a small hole is punched
and this is afterward expanded to the
required size by hammering 1t on a
conical anvil, after which both shank
and bow are filed into a more perfect
shape and the hole bored in the middle
for the rivet. The blades are next
ground and the handles filed smooth
and FURNISHED with Oil and emery,
after which the pairs are fitted to-
gether and tested as to their easy
working.
They are not vet finished, however;
they have to undergo hardening and
tempering and be again adjusted, after
which they are finally put together
again and polished for the third time.
In comparing the edges Of knives and
scissors it will be noticed, Of course,
that the latter are not in any way SO
sharply ground as the former, and that
in cutting scissors crush and bruise
more than knives.

PLACEBO PRESCRIPTIONS.
An Old Doctor Tells 81 Secret OF Has

''Never tell a patient that there is
nothing the matter with him." said the
old doctor, who was revealing the Sc

patient, who sends for anothSV doctor.
Give him something, if it is only flavor
ed water. II the disease is only imagi-
nary, cure the imagination with
harmless dose, and your patient gets
well. In the profession we call such
prescriptions 'placebos, and more Won
derful cures are effected by placebos
than the world wots Of. So, also, when
you run across a patient who an
nounces the first thing that he cannot
take certain sorts of medicine, don't
tell him he must. Agree with him and
give him the medicine, if he needs 1t,

A POUNDS A POUND.
But "a Pound of Feathers Is Heavier
Than a Pound of Lead.

Than a Pound of Lead.
That old question about a pound of
feathers and pound of lead takes on
new interest when we look at it in
simple scientific way. 1t seems ab.
surd, Of course, that a pound of one
thing could be heavier than pound of
another thing, and yet that is exactly
what may be shown in this. case: not
that the pound of lead is heavier than
the pound Of feathers, as most persons
would say on the spur of the moment
but just the other way-a pound OF
feathers Is heavier than a pound OF
lead.
This apparently inconsistent state
ment maybe quite easily proved With
accurate scales weigh a pound of lead
using ordinary shot for convenience;
then with the same scales weigh a
pound of feathers, putting tim into a
muslin bag for the purpose. The feath
ers and the bag together must weigh
exactly pound.
The next step i'll the operation will
show apparently that there is no diff
ference whatever in the weight Of the
two articles, for you put the shot In
one pan of balance and the bag Of
feathers in the other and after little
seesawing they will come to an exact
level.
Now, however, the scientific phase of
the question presents itself. and you
are reminded that in weighing the ar
ticles thus in the open air you have
taken no account of the buoyant pow.
er of the air, which bears everything
up in proportion to the objects bulk.
AS the bag of feathers Is of greater
bulk than the shot, it is borne up more
than the shot is, and for that reason
it is necessary to use little more than
q pound of feathers to balance a pound
of lead.
This, however. is theoretical. The
practical proof is obtained when you
place the balance bearing the lead and
the feathers on the receiver of an air
pump and cover them with the glass
bell. Then exhaust the air. and yo,:
will find that the pan bearing the fea tn
ers will sink and the pan bearing the
lead will rise, thus showing that when
weighed in the ordinary way the guam
tity OF feathers used to make pound
is actually more than pound.--New
