midnight when the toast was pro-

STAGE LIGHTS.
Their Various Uses and the Names

Their Various Uses and the Names
by Which They Arc knc"n.
Lights play IN important part on
the stage Of the modern theater, and
they have many uses. The spot light,
for instance, is employed to cast a cir
Gle of light upon the stage where a sin
Gle person is to be brought into espe-
cial prominence It consists Of an arc
electric light inclosed in cylindrical
hood about the diameter Of a stove
pipe and provided at the open end
with condenser lens for the purpose
Of concentrating the rays upon small
area.
\ flood light is an arc in rectangu-
lar box painted white upon the inside
to serve as a reflector. It is supposed
to food the stage With light; hence its
name.
Bunch lights are clusters Of gas or
incandescent lights either arranged
within reflector Or exposed naked.
They are used back Of scene behind
doorways, where light is needed off
the stage to represent the illumina-
ton Of that part of a dwelling not
shown. For the same purpose strip"
lights are used-rows of incandescent
fights fastened to a strip Of wood pro-
1ided with a hook, by which it may
be hung to the back Of q scene when
required.
t'Side" lights are incandescent lights
arranged on either side Of the prosce-
mum arch. Sometimes they are built
within the arch or they are arranged
to be swung outward when the cur
tain is raised.
The foothghts are familiar to all,
and the border" lights are those hung
over the stage directly above the seen
cry. shutting off the top Of the stage.
These are arranged in trough like an
inverted ''U" to cast their light down
upon the stage. These are practically
all Of the lights used upon the stage Of
a house, though magic lanterns are
employed at times for the stimulation
of water effects, moonlight ripples and
lightning. The old fashioned calcium,
using the oxyhydrogen gas, is so sell
dom employed in the modern theater
as to call for no comment.

A DOUBLE RESURRECTION.
Each Of the Generals Thought Tha
the Other Wus Dead.


the Other Was Dead.
General Barlow Of the Union army
fell wounded and, it was thought, dy.
ing during the first day Of the battle OF
Gettysburg and within the Confederate
lines. General Gordon, canterinS by,
saw him and recognized him. Dis
mounting, he approached the PROSTATE
man and inquired what be could do for
him.
81 am dying" said Barlow. "Just
reach into my coat pocket, draw out
the letter you find there and read it to
me. 1t is from my wife"
Gordon read the letter.
''Now, general" said Barlow, please
destroy that letter. want you to noti-
fl her-she is in the town over yonder
what has happened to me-
81 WILL" replied Gordon.
He sent for Mrs. Barlow, giving her
safe conduct through the southern
lines, and then rode away, certain that
Barlow's death was question of only
a few hours at most.
But Barlow did not die. His wife
came promptly and had him removed
to the town Of Gettysburg, where she
nursed him so faithfully that he recov-
cred.
Many years passed until one night
both generals were guests at G. dinner
in Washington. Some one brought
them together and formally introduced
them. Time had altered the personal
appearance of both.
care you any relation to the General
Barlow who was killed at Gettys-
burg?" asked Gordon
"Yes; a very near relation" an
swered Barlow, with laugh. "1 am
the very man who was killed. But
have been informed that a man named
Gordon lost his life in battle later on.
He saved my life at Gettysburg. Are
you any kin to that man?"
"I am be-" was the reply.
Both heroes laughed as they gave
each other q heartier handshake.--

John r. Pharr, Of Charlotte, was
raised on farm, and the happiest
days Of his life now are those that he
spends at his plantation, which is
about six miles northeast Of the city,
on the Concord road. Mr. Pharr's
farm contains about $50 acres, the
greater part Of which is in n high
state Of cultivation. On the entire
farm there is not an acre Of cotton,
and Mr.. Pharr does not regret that he
has planted no cotton, even with the
staple selling at twelve and q half
cents per pound. His hobby is stock
raising, or, rather, his common sense
and his choice led him to raise stock
and vegetables. What Mr., Pharr takes
the greatest pride in is a flock Of goats,
about thirty-five Of the animals. Lamb
sells on the local market for about
four cents a pound on foot; that is,
the market men pay that price to the
farmers. Mr.. Pharr has been offered
six cents a pound for kid, but refused
the offer.
There is only one other flock Of goats
In the county as large as that Of Mr..
Phar and that belongs to Mr., w, s,
Clanton, formerly United States AS.
sayer in the city. Goats are three
times as hardy as sheep. They eat no
more, take to fattening easily and will
eat almost anything, Little care is
required for them from their birth,
and they mature about as early as
sheep. On the other hand, sheep re-
quire constant care from birth, are
are very delicate. According to Mr.,
Pharr, there is more money in raising
goats than any other stock or in cot
ton growing.
Mr. Pharr also has a fine flock OF
cattle, other stock, and one of the fin
est orchards in the county.-Charlotte

A strong light is thrown on the es.

by the incident Of the broken bell.
When he pulled 1t several times and
no footman appeared until after great
delay, he "stormed with very strong
language" at the man for neglect OF
duty, whereupon the duke said; yes,
| was wrong, am very sorry, VIII.
lam, and beg your pardon" To the
little girl who was present he added:
Always own when you are In the
wrong" This is almost a test quail
ity in life. 1t is rarely found without
other great moral virtues and intel
lectual strength. 1t helps US to un-
derstand the man who faced Napo-
Icons strategy with invisible cool
ness, and hung on until Butcher came
up.-Review of Wellington.
