The great objection to umbrellas 100
years ago was their weight, and when
it is stated as matter of fact that the
very smallest umbrella then weighed
no less than three and half pounds it
will probably be admitted that the OBJ
lection was justitable one.
Instead of the thin rainproof fabrics
which now form the covering Of UNI
brellas nothing better was known than
leather or oilclotn. The ribs were of
wood or whalebone, and such thing as
Il steel rod was, of course, unknown
The stick was usually of heavy oak. In
those days, too, many umbrellas had
the additional incumbrance of feathers
over the top, on the theory of "shed-
ding water off ducks back" But the
oilcloth and leather umbrellas, nOtwth-
standing the feathers, were apt to leak.

A good story is told of Bernard Shaw.
The occasion was the first production
of "Arms and the Man" in London.
The production was success, and at
the fall of the curtain there were clam
orous calls for the author, to which Mr..
Shaw was at length induced to respond.
The audience was still cheering, but
there was one dissentient in the gal
lery, who was "booing" with the full
power of pair Of very strong lungs.
Mr. Shaw looked up at this GLORIOUS
minority of one" and said very serious

A cubic foot of dry air weighs more
than a cubic foot of moist air at the
same temperature and pressure. The
addition of vapor to cubic foot Of
dry air enarges the volume of the mix
ture if the air is free to expand, as in
the atmosphere, and as the vapor has
only about two-thirds the density Of

less than that of dry air.

A citizen walking past a butcher
shop in a northern Kansas town saw
the butcher and a customer rolling over
the sawdust floor in rough and tum-

the butcher had nonchalantly asked,

Primitive SIeGs.

From history we learn that the boys
in the time of George Ill, coasted on
sleds made of Il small board, with
beef bones as runners. But these drop
ped out of sight when an inventive gen.
ius built one out of a barrel stave, for
his invention was extensively copied.
The barrel slaves were called Jump
ers" and ''skippers" and were made of
a single barrel stave of moderate width,
to which was nailed twelve inch seat
post about amidships. \ piece of bar
rel head constituted the seat. To navi-
gate this craft required no little skill,
the revolutions performed by the rider
while "gcttin' the hang of the derned
old thing being akin 10 the antics of
n tenderfoot on Il bucking broncho. n
more stable and docile jumper was
made by fastening two or three slaves
side by side, but these were not con-
sidered as fast travellers as the single
staves.-Outing.

of Mr.. p. l.. Mcpherson, 50 n. Tenth St.,
Harrisburg, Pa, would sleep but two or

Three Exceptionally Good Shows.

On Tuesday night of last week, Harry
Beresford and his excellent company in
that ever popular farce-comedv, "The
Wrong Mr.. Wright" filled the opera
house. Mr.. Beresford was in splendid
form, and although the performance
was not new to most of those present,
the excellent manner of its production
kept the audience enthusiastically APP
planding throughout the two and half
hours of pure fun. 1t is safe to say Mr.
Beresford never played to a more APP
preciative audience
Again on Thursday night David War
field, supported by large and capable
company, played 70 the capacity of the
house in "The Auctioneer." This plav
is on different lines from most of the
comedies produced here this season
and was fully appreciated. Mr.. War
field in delineating as Simon Levi, the
typical second-hand-store Israelite, not
from one side, but from all sides, pre-
sents the best character study ever put
on the boards, and does it in so natural
a manner that one almost forgets that it
is simply play" The stage setting
for "The Auctoneer" is the most realis-
tic ever put on here, the interior of
Lewis store and the street scene being
especially true to life. Mr.. Wartield
was excellentIy supported by large
cast, and "The Auctioneer' was pro-
nounced by one and all strictly first
class.
On Friday night the old familiar al
ways popular drama of the Arkansas
hills, "Human Hearts," held the boards
but did not receive as liberal patronage
as the two previous shows. The au-
dience got good returns for its money,
however, and "Human Hearts" has Just
as many friends here as ever. The
management was unfortunate in getting
date following two such record-break-
ing audien ce-getters as Beresford and
Warfield, and should they return again
next season, will undoubtedly meet
with better luck.

EARLY RISING.
Those Who Practice It Are Not Healthy,
Wealthy and Wise.

Those Who Practice 1t Arc Not Healthy,
Wealthy and Wise.
No one has so we'll hit off the weak
ness Of the old-time counsel about
"early to bed and early to rise" as the
late John G. SAKE, unless it was the
great DR.. Arnold Of Rugby fame, who
used to say that early rising, though
necessary for sckoolmasters, was one
of the few hardships in life which
habit did not make more easy. Re-
membering this, it is interesting to find
a writer in a medical journal making
the statement that early rising, when
accompanied with effort, does no one
any good. "The reason" he says, "is
obviou, enough. There may be truth
in the old copy book saying that If
you 90 to bed at 10 you can get up at
g. but, unfortunately, it does not fol-
low that If you get up at you can
20 to bed at 10. For one thing, you,
generally do not want to; for another,
the amenities of social life put obsta-
cles in your path. And in that cas2,
of course, early rising merely means in
sufficient Sleep" The fact is that the
amount of sleep needed by a person
to maintain good health, like the
amount of food, must be determined
by individual wants and conditions.
Early rising is not per Sc special vir-
tue to be cultivated and exhibited on
all occasions. Under certain physical
conditions it may be, indeed, the very
tendency raost to be avoided-Leslie's
Weekly.
