Unexpected Applause.

Shortly after Mr.. Wilson Barrett
joined the theatrical profession he be-
came member of company perform
ing at the old Theater Royal, Dublin.
His part, naturally, was small one,
and, greatly to his surprise, his first
speech was greeted with a round of
applause. This unlocked for tribute
elated the young actor, and he exerted
himself to sustain the good impression
he appeared to have made. Just as he
was leaving the theater one of the
scene shutters grinningly accosted him
and said, "Sure, it's got about among
the bhoys that ye're a brother of the
man that was hungp' A Fenian named
Barrett had that morning paid the ex-
IRENE penalty of the law.

cold Patch" the Forger.

1t was about the year 1884 that the
first forgeries on a very large scale
were discovered by the Bank of Eng
land, and these were done by one man,
known from his favorite disguise as
cold Patch" By a large issue Of
notes spread over long period he de-
frauded the bank of more than $780,
900, and, having only one conf1dant
his mistress, great difficulty was ex-
perienced in tracing the source of the
forgeries. "Old Patch" in his check
cred career of lottery Office keeper,
stockbroker and gambler had given
banknotes careful study and acquired
a knowledge Of engraving, paper max
ing and printing. He made his own
ink, manufactured the paper and print
ed the notes on private press. In va
rious DISCUSSES he hired boys from the
streets to present the notes. Suspicion
was at last aroused by his movements
He was thrown into prison, where he
cheated the law by hanging himself in
his cell.-London Chronicle.

A Telling Retnrt.

Fault was found, says the Christian
Endeavor World, with the way in
which the shorthand writer's reported
the speeches in a legislative body.
They retaliated by giving the speech
of one of the members exactly as he
made it, with the following result:
'The reporters-ought not to-the re-
porters ought not to be the ones to
judge of what is important-not to say
what should be left out-but-the men,
Der can only judge of what is impor-
tant. AS las my speeches-as the re-
ports-as what 1 say is reported some
times, no one-nobody can understand
from the reports-what it is-what
mean. So-it strikes met has struck
me certain matters things that appear
Of importance-are sometimes left out
omitted. The reporters-the papers
points are reported-I mean-to make
a brief statement - what the paper
thinks of interests reported"

The uCrvo of Silk.

One of the most peculiar features
about manufactured silk is the rustling
sound familiar to every woman. In
the silk trade they call it the "cry' Oh
sometimes the 'scroop." Of all textiles
silk is the only material which pos,
sesses it.
AS everybody knows, the sound is
heard especially when silk is subjected
to friction. What is not so generally
known is that the quality is found in
silk yarn before it is woven. A ske1n
of silk, unless it has been so treated as
to kill this property in it, will when
opened up emit the noise slightly
When the skein is squeezed in the
hand, the sound becomes quite audible.
The "cry" is considered very desir-
able quality in silk. Dyers try to de-
velop it as much as possible.

A drummer named Peck put up at a

An Absurd custom In Vienna

In Vienna every mans home is his
dungeon from 10 p. N. to a. N. Vienna
is city of flats, and at 10 p. m. the
common entrance door of each block is
closed and bolted. Thereafter persons
passing in or out must pay a fine Of
twopence to the concierge until mid
night and fourpence from that hour to
a. m. To go out to post letter costs
twopence and the same amount to re-
turn. To prolong a visit to friend
after 10 p. m. means twopence to get
out of his house and twopence more to
enter your own. /, A natural result of
this irritating tax is that Of all capital
cities Vienna is earliest to bed.

The oldest Deatb Sentence.

The oldest death sentence extant is

in this case was found guilty Of magic,

which is also Of very ancient origin.
Among less civilized peoples drown
ing would seem to have been the earli-
est method of legal punishment, for
about $50 B. G. the Britons killed their
criminals by throwing them into a
quagmire. Of other than capital pun
ishments the Oldest recorded comes
from Chaldea, where it was enacted
some 5000 years ago that when any
one MANNED a slave "the hand that

Sand Swent Asia.

In the arid lands of central Asia the
air is reported as often laden with
fine detritus, which drifts like snow
around conspicuous objects and tends
to bury them in dust drift. Even
when there is no apparent wind the air
is described as thick with fine dust,
and q yellow sediment covers every
thing. In Khotan this dust sometimes
so obscures the sun that at midday
one cannot see to read fine print with
out a lamp.

To prevent birds from flying with

to tie together with a thread three or

wings do not act symmetrically in the
