A Party Trick,

Here is party game or trick which,
while it does not rank as one especially
intellectual, nevertheless offers a nice
diversion for the time:
First begin the conversation with
some special person present in casual
manner and then have it lead on to
their strength of mind or power of re-
sistance. When you have them most
deeply interested, make the remark
that you can compel them to move
from their seat without touching them.
Naturally they will contradict this
boast. Then slip off about two feet
and look them steadily in the eye, new
er allowing your eye to leave theirs for
a second. In few moments they will
become so tired of sitting still and so
uneasy under your steady gaze as to
get up of their own accord and change
seats or move farther down the settee.
When they do this, of course you have
become successful in your party trick.

1t was Sir William Colville of Col
vile Manor who first discovered 81
gnor Albano. Sir William prded him.
self on being the patron of struggling
genius and so gave him the commission
to perpetuate in marble the beauty of
his only daughter. the Lady Margaret.
The sculptor was man of twenty
eight, with a fair face and an aristo.
cratic bearing. There could be no
question that he was Il real artist with
the chisel. His enthusiasm promised
a masterpiece. 1t was arranged that
he should stay at the manor while his
work was In progress.
1t proved lengthy task. but the sit
tings were anything but tiresome to
the young lady. Signor Albano was
both we'll Travelled and well read, and,
while he knew how to keep the mo-
ments from dragging. he yet preserved
his attitude of deepest respect. Lady
Margaret looked upon him with revcr-
ence as a genius. Perhaps his youth
and good looks contributed somewhat
to her enjoyment in the sittings, but
this pride forbade her to acknowledge.
The bust when finished was all that he
had promised. If either of the two
young people sighed that the long
mornings in the studio would be no
more, they gave no sign.
Three months afterward the father
and daughter were passengers on
steamer for the orient. They had been
out three days before they discovered
that the sculptor was on board He
explained that through the death of a
relative he had come into a fortune
and had set out on a tour around the
world. Sir William was rather cha
grined to find his protege so far beyond
the need of his help. While he con-
graduated him on his good fortune.
therefore, his manner yet conveyed the
fact that he did not consider that his
change in prospects entitled him to
treatment as an equal. The Lady Mar
garet was most well brought up
young woman, and she unhesitatingly
followed her fathers cue.
Two days later, as she sat alone on
deck, Signor Albano approached her
with the assurance of an old friend and
entered into conversation. In vain her
manner showed him that the old days
of happy intercourse must be forgot

The theaters of Japan are generally
wood and inexpensive buildings. Their
interior arrangements are somewhat
similar to ours but not nearly so elab-
orately finished. There are no seats
provided for the auditors; consequent
ly they sit on the floor. The stages re-
volve like locomotive turntable, have
no drop curtains, but use sliding ones
instead Their musical instruments
consist principally of kind of cross
between a mandolin and banjo, with
a metal drum and some other unpro-
nounceable instruments for accompani-
ment The music has kind of hum
drum air and but very little variation.
Their entertainments are of long dura-
ton and are generally during the day.
The plays are almost invariably trag-
edy. The admission fee is small.

ten. The Italian was imperturbable.
When she rose to go, he even dared to
lay hand upon her arm as he said:
Lady Margaret, am here on this
steamer today because / knew you
were to sail on it. | am here to say
something to you, and you cannot go
until have spoken"
The girl had snatched away her arm
and faced him proudly as she drawled
with slow insolence:
did you not receive payment in full
for your work."
A look of such poignant suffering
crossed his mobile face that q flush of
shame rose to her own cheeks.
His voice was full of reproach as he
replied:
as it kind to taunt me with the fact
that | had to sell my genius for shil-
when you were my model. You were
not only pleased with my work as an
artist, but | fondly hoped that | had
found favor in your eyes as a man."
Perhaps her heart responded to his
words, but only pride of race showed
in her voice as she answered holly,
"Sir, have you lost your senses" and
walked away like an injured queen.
Half an hour later the wrathy Sir
William hunted up the sculptor and
said:
SHOULD you speak to my daughter
again while this voyage lasts will APP
peal to the captain to have you locked
up in your stateroom"
"Sir William" replied Signor Albano
respectfully, but imploringly, "do not
drive me to desperation"
But Sir William refused to listen.
For the next few days Lady Margaret
often felt his sad, imploring eyes fixed
upon her, but he did not again venture
10 approach her.
The fifth evening note was deliver
ed at her door. Almost Immediately
following Signor Albano made his APP
pearance in the smoking room. He car
ried a revolver in his hand. His face
was pale and his eyes blazing.

loungers in the room, Il must trouble

capture. But he was armed and evil

Baptism of Bells.

Bells were solemnly baptized like
children, custom which is still ex-
tant in the Roman church. This is
probably not primitive practice and
cannot be traced further back than the
reign of Charlemagne. 1t is first dis
tinctly mentioned in the time of Pope
John Nil. (9SS), when he gave his
own name to the great bell of the Lat
eran church. Sleidan gives an account
of the ceremonial to be observed: First
of all the bells must be so hung that
the bishop may be able to walk round
them. When he has chanted q few
psalms in a low voice, he mingles wa
ter and salt and consecrates them, dill
gently sprinkling the bell with the mix
ture both inside and out Then he
wipes it clean and with holy oil de-
scribes on it the figure of the cross,
praying the while that when the bell is
swung up and sounded faith and char.
ity may abound among men, all the
snareS of the devil = hail, lightning
winds, storms-may be rendered vain
and all unreasonable weather be Sof-
tened. After he has wiped off that
cross of oil from the rim he forms SOW
en- other crosses on it. but only one of
them within. The bell is censed. more
psalms are sung and prayers are put
up for its welfare. After this feasts
and banquetings are celebrated just as
at wedding" - Gentleman's Maya

When he came back, he said to AL

Albert.

posed. The first time he tried it was
two days before he said Il don't want

AT last he succeeded for seven days.

see if they could catch an extra glass.
