Fatal Music.
Richard Manifold is a stickler for

Richard Manifold is a stickler for
every little point in the presentation
Of his plays, yet now and then the
unexpected happens in such a way as
to provoke a smile from one who is
not considered the most humorous Of
actors. In the final scene of CA
Partisan Romance" Mansfield as
Baron Cheyriap falls dead at the sup
per, amid the talking and music. The
doctor in the play calls out: "Stop
the music! the baron is dead!" and
the curtain falls. On one occasion
Mansfield was playing in a one-night
stand in a small country town, where
the music Of the local orchestra was
atrocious. At the supper scene Mans
field fell dead as usual, but the actor
who was playing the part of the doc
tor cried out: "Stop the music! It
has killed the baron!" Even Mans
field smiled.

A CHINESE COOK.
10 Good In His Line But Hard on
Our Language.

AWe<t Philadelphia man. who has
q Chinaman for a cook, reports the
Press, says the Celestial as a house
servant is a great success. except for
his puzzling talk. "He SAYS 'topsidc'
for upstairs and no hab got for Il
have not OF they have not and 'one-
piecee' for a single individual, and all
sorts of other funny things" cx-
planned the employer. "For instance,
the other day l got home and told
him to 60 upstairs and tell my two
daughters that | wanted to talk to
them. This vas the answer he gave
me when he came down: "Two-piecee
gail topside not hab got; one piccee
gail drivee-drivce; one-piccce gail
walkec-walkcc.' From which l even
tually made out that neither of nv
daughters was at home, one being out
driving, the other out walking-but
he's a great cook. anyhow"

INDIVIDUALITY OF ANIMALS.
Amateur Observers Can Frequently
Give Naturalists Pointers.

The truth is, that he who watches
any animal closely enough will see
what no naturalist has evcr seen.
This is the simple secret,of the Won
dcrful cat story, or the incredible dog
story, to be heard in almost every
house. 1t means, says DR.. William
}. Long, in the North American Re-
view, that, after you have catalogued
dogs perfectly, you still have in every
dog a new subject with some new hab-
its. Every boy who keeps a pet has
something to tell the best naturalist.
Every audience to which / have ever
lectured on animals has brought for
ward at least a doZcnmtn ald,
each with a true animal story that
seems incredible. In the state Of
Maine alone l have talked with at
least Is different guides and trapptrs.
They all follow the same classes of
animals, yet c%vcry'guide has a differ
ent record of the habits of those ami
mails. and nearly everyone of them
has at least three or four animal
stories that would not be believed if
they were printed. That is not be-
cause they lie; for l have found them
to be truthful and reliable men most

and hunters is at stake. thovare keen
to listen and learn about animals.
The truth is they have discovered I'M
consciously the secret of animal in

tory writer's have missed; tn eNsee diff
ferent habits, simply because they
follow different animals i'm different
localities.

OUR RUSSIAN IMMIGRANTS.
Curiously Enough Come Not from
Russia But from Austria.

The statement that nearly all Rus
sian immigrants in America come
from Austria may seem strange, but
it is true, says Popular Science
Monthly. Last year 7,540 Russians
came from Austria and only 1886
Russians from Russia. ~
The Russian Slavs are divided by
philoiogists into three divisions.
Great Russians, White Russians and
Little Russians. The Great Russians
occupy a large qu%adrangular area in
Russia consisting Of the central gov
crnmcnts, from Novgorod and Vol
CODA on the north to Kiev on the
south; from Pensa and Simbirsk on
the east to the Polish provinces on
the west. The White Russians num-
Der less than 10000 900 and occupy
some of the western governments ad-
joining Poland. Great Russians and
White Russians do not emigrate. The
Little Russians occupy the great fer
tile trecless plain, the black mold
belt in southern Russia, which ex-
tends from Kiev to the Black sea.
They also people the two. Austrian
provinces of Bukowina and Galicia.
1t is said that a line drawn eastward
on the map from Cracow in Galicia
through Kicv in Russia will divide
the Little Russians from the Great
Russians. The Little Russians occu-
plying Galicia and'Bukowina. Austria,
are known as Ruthenians. They are
also called Russniaks and Red Rus
slams. Nearly all our Russian immi-
grants come from these two Austrian
provinces.

ARE O OF MEDALS.
Every French Oh;ial Has One Of
Some Sort or Other.

Some Sort or Other.
The French are particularly fond
of distinctive signs and badges, says
the London Standard. Thescnators,
deputies, municipal councillors, ETC.,
all possess a medal of some sort; but
the "Damcs du Corps Municipal" as
they were called in the time of Ma
polcon ILL.,. we're more favored in this
respect than the wives of the present
town councillors Of Paris. They pos
sessed a badge which permitted them
to participate in all the public cere-
monies without any other invitation.
The arnavaict museum contains one
of these badges, consisting Of a med
allion bearing the arms of Paris en-
circlcd with pearls. Curiously
enough, the curator of the Municipal
museum at first imagined that the
badge was that of the municipal
councillor himself. but he has just
been %undcceived by NJ. Paulol}uffet,
who has communicated to him the
letter from Baron Haussmann which
accompanied the dispatch of the me-
dallion to the wives of those munic-
ipal councillors who had been pre-
vented from being present at the dis
tribution. This bad &c was created
on the occasion of the baptism Of the
prince imperial on August 5, 1856.
On that occasion a grand fcte was
given at the Hotel dc Vile. andthe
medallion constituted both a pcrma-
nent invitation to all future munic-
ipal fetes and. as said in the projects
letter, "a modest souvenir"

shamrock Mo-. 3 Is tn. Best.

London.-The introduction to the
story of the Americas cup races of
1903 will be closed when the Sham
rocks are docked at Greenock for dis
mantling. An expert analysis of the
new challenger's work during the trials
on this side Of the Atlantic proves that
this is the best challenger ever built,
and her friends go even further, and
assert that, under the weather condi-
lions prevailing during her trials, she
is the fastest cup racer ever produced.
There has been no opportunity, how.
ever, to Judge of her sailing qualities
in a heavy sea and wind. The trials
were one sided, all being fine sailing
weather, with occasionally a fresh
breeze, but never wind enough to
break the spray over the bows. Hence
winds of over 10 knots strength may
find the challenger's weakness.

throwing off impurities which irritate
