Hindoo's Love-Making More

walkest before me thou art beautiful
as the spreading peacock.
"Oh, Lali! Oh. beloved! Thy fore
bead is as the new moon, and thy face
as the rising sun for gloryi''
So the swain goes on for half an
heur enumerating the beauties and
graces of her body and her character.
When he is quite certain that he has
left nothing out, he gets down to bust
ness.
eoh. Lali! can give five bracelets
of fine silver, two bullocks and three
donkeys as the price for thee / will
work for thee, and for thy father and
mother, and all thy house forever"
: Negotiations with the father ensue,
and if the terms are satisfactory, the
marriage is arranged. The young peo-
pie cannot marry out of their caste

Of washing ancestors It is the same
with the barber the ipetter, the farmer
and all the other trades and profess
sions.
Love-making in the dhoby class IS
conducted in curious way. The
young people meet at the river or at
the fuller's ground where they wash
the clothes, and fall in love.
They may not speak directly to one
another. but they sing love songs in
which they enumerate the others yir-
tues and graces and express their own
feelings. Here are two of these songs,
as they were taken down by Babu
Pandian, an educated Hindoo:
She: ooh, thou young man, black
as oil, sweet as sugar cane, 1 cannot
ever forget thy face. Whenever
think of thee, become useless to do
the work of my parents.
Thy love makes me uneasy in the
day and restless in the night. My
mother has promised to give me the
young and beautiful colt as my dowry,
and my father has promised me the
right of washing the clothes of the
whole village when he gets old and
helpless, for 1 am the only daughter to

But the ghost is haunting Hamlet

Hamlet's mother has married the uncle,
and that makes the ghost mad
"Oh, I see! The lady with the white
hood over her head is Hamlet's mother!
How did you find that out?"
The young man heaved deep sigh.
Then he said with kind solicitude:
I'm sorry you're disappointed in the
play. 1 thought you'd like it. We don't
have to stay to see it out if you don't
care for it,
But 1 do like it," the girl answered.

A Quick Death,

The story frequently repeated about
professional divers who have been able
to remain under water for over two
minutes is silly" Dr. Joseph Boehm
tells me. mo one can remain under
water that long without drowning,
whether they are trained divers or not.
At Nayarino, where the sponge divers
are reported to be able to remain under
water three and four minutes. tests
were made recently and resulted in
conclusiyely proving that none of them
remained down as long as minute
and half. Ninety seconds seems
long time to the watcher on shore, and
it is about the limit of a divers endur-
ance under water. At Ceylon, where
time tests We're also made among the
famous pearl divers, it was ascertained
that few of them. remained below the
surface as long as a minute, and other
tests made in the Red sea among the
Arabs proved that minute and
quarter was the longest they could en-
dure without fresh breath.
"On the coast of England several
years ago a diver, trained diver, Ole
of the best on the coast, renowned for
his endurance, went down and was
pulled UP so slowly when he gave the
signal that he was under water about
two minutes and five seconds. He was
drawn out of the water inSenSible, with
blood flowing from his nose and ears,
and it was only after long, and arduous
work that his recovery from the effects
of that two-minute stay under water
was assured. Drowning is a quick
death. Even though the water is kept
out of the lungs, insensibility will en-
sue in one minute, and complete un-
consciousness in two. The stories OF
people who have been in the water five
minutes being resuscitated are gener-
aIlv mistaken or untrue man could
not be in the water five minutes with
out coming to the surface several times
and be restored to life.'-St. LOUIS

Joseph EntangIed'' which Cyril Maude
put on hastily when Cousin Kate" came
to so abrupt an end, did not draw golden
opinions from the critics, but it seems
to be pleasing audiences, and perhaps Mr..
Frohman may decide to try it in the Unit
ed States. 1.-THE Arm of the Law" the
English version of La Robe Rouge"
whose striking plot was described in these
letters recently, is also likely to be snap
ped up by the American manager. When
Arthur Bourchier produced this piece he
neglected to say on the programme by
whom the adaptation had been made, but
speculation has according to Bourchier)
been SO rife as to the unknown adapter's
identity that the actor manager has just
confessed bashfully that he did it, him
self. This, however, is by no means
Bourchier's first offense. His adaptation
of another French play, Monsieur lie Di-
recteur. ran for 800 nights under the
name of 1.-The Chill Widow Most of the
other pieces now on view in the West
end either are of American origin, or
have been produced in the United States
already. but Somerset Maughams "a

Bleischman, whose English version of
"Old Heidelberg has just been with

place in German military town. and
the play ends tragically, the hero and
heroine dying together. Probably by this
time Mr.. Frohman has seen Justin Huntly

which, however, he has spent a good deal
of time on the play which he has in hand

ry, are about to give at the Comedy. The
piece. which is by a member of Wilson
Barrett's company. has nothing to do with
the Sabbath, but takes it's name from it's
heroine. an American girl whom the early
scenes of the play show in her home in the
far West, but who finally comes to Lon
don and has adventures.
The state of the drama. 1t seems to be
the universal theme. at least in this
country and the United States From
home come the lamentations of David
BelaSco on the parlous state into which
thea tricals there are alleged to have fallen,
and here no gathering of stage-foll and
their friends is complete without dis
cuSSion as to how a similar state of
things in England is to be mended We
hoped Mr. Barrie would steer clear of the
subject. 1t had been announced that
in his address to the Playgoers' club last
Sunday evening the author of Little
Mary would enunciate his views as to
how far a dramatist might go in the di-
rection of deluding his audience, but in
stead Mr.. Barrie spoke on the state of
the drama!'' 1t is true that he was in
cited thereto by what A. B. Walkley, who
was in the chair. had said previously The
Times critic declared that what the Brit
jsh drama really was suffering from was
slow starvation-an inadequate supply of
good plays; from which it would seem as
in quest of water. What is Tree show
ing?" asked Walkley "A play made in
America. What is Alexander showing? A
play made in Germany. What are Wynd-
ham, Bourchier and Waller showing?
Plays made in France.
When Mr.. Barrie rose to reply, his
hearers We're somewhat surprised to learn
that he, like Henry Arthur Jones and
many others, considers the state aided
theater as the British dramas hest if
not only hope 81 am Barrie said. "a

lines, I should send every play | wrote

author of 1.-The Little Minister did not,
/ however disappoint his audience by re-
naming entirely serious. Speaking of GER

cess consisted of two. walls meeting in

could press himself and then work his way
