Most pantomime characters were
originally borrowed from the Italians.
The first real English pantomime was
produced at theater in Lincoln's Inn
Fields in 1920. 1t was called ''Harle-
quin Executed" and its subtitle was
"a New Italian Comic Scene Between
Scaramouche, Harlequin, Coun-
try Farmer, His Wife and Others"
The performance was very successful.
About the middle of the eighteenth CEN
fury the character of pantomime per-
formances was completely altered
chiefly because of the genius Of the IA
nous Grimaldi, who made the clown
the first figure of the pantomime. Girl
maldi first appeared at Sadler's Wells
theater, where he played the part of
monkey. He was actively engaged on
the stage for forty nine years, and at
the close of his stage career he took a
benefit at Drury Lane theater, which
realized nearly 5000 He also received
f100 from the Drury Lane fund. This
was in June, 1923. He died in 1887 and
was buried in the churchyard> in st.
James chapel, Pentonville hill.-Lon-
don Standard.

1t matters very little in the long run
to the small boy when, how or where
fireworks We're first made and of what
they are made now. But the fact re-
mains that the despised heather Chi
nese first made them and used them
and that civilized communities did not
know of them until the fourteenth CEN
tury. The skyrecket was first invented
toward the close of the ninth century
and at that time was used, so it is said,
IN India and China in war. That was
long before the invention of gunpow-
der.

The Chinese have cut jade for ages
out never ornamented it except by
sculpture. When it was introduced in
to India, the native jewelers., with their
quick eye for color, at once saw what
a perfect ground it afforded for mount
ing precious stones, and they were the
first to inerust them. on jade. The In
Ola museum in London possesses the

How the Ancients Resarded IRON

The ancient Egyptians believed that
iron was the bone of Typhon, the ene-
my of Osiris, and for this reason it was
considered impure. No one could make
use OF it even for the most ordinary
requirements of life without polluting
his soul in way that weuld cause
him harm both on earth and In the
other world.

the weather the frmness Of late months
at the opening of the cotton exchange
this morning was a surprise TO traders.
There was a good demand from some
where. generally credited TO shorts. on
fears that bull operations might extend
10 the new crop. Support continued af-
ter the call advancing October TO 1910
and December to 9.8S while January
reached 9.91. Offerings proved very
light, which was another puzzling fea-
ture, as cables displayed no frmness
and the weather outlook was for a con-
tinuation of present favorable condi-
tions.
II soon became apparent that New
Orleans buying was a factor OF some
importance in the market and this
stimulated additional efforts on the part
of shorts TO cover the late positions.
There was no especial feature TO August
