THE EARLIEST COMEDY.
IT Was Played at Athens by the
First Travelling Actors.

The first recorded comedy was play
ed at Athens. Il. c. 57S-when Susarion
and Dolon. the earliest travelling ac-
tors, performed a comedy of Susarion'S
composition on a movable StaOe mount
ed upon four wheels. The new form
Of play was so successful that the ac-
tors were rewarded by the grateful
populace with cask of wine and q
basket of figs.
Susarion belonged 10 Megaris, state
of ancient Greece, whose inhabitants
were celebrated for their coarse hui
NOR. and who. in their villages during
the evenings. We're wont to hold what
they called a comus; really a revel. in
which impromptu acting. coupled with
buffoOnery, played a considerable part
From this word we have our comedy.
In England the old miracle plays de-
generated very early into what but
for their religious associations were
mere farces. but the first purely Eng
fish comedy was one by Udall, an as
sistant master at Elton, and subSe-
quently head master of Westminster
school. 1t was entitled Ralph Rois-
ter-DoisteT' and seems TO have been
performed in London about 1901, being
published in 1866, ten years after its
authors death.

STRANGE RAT TRAPS.
The Way Ostrich Eggs Are Utilized
In COptic Churches.

Ostrich eggs are regarded by the
Copts as the natural emblem Of watch
fulness. and practical effect is given to
this idea among these people by the
very curious use to which they put
them in their public buildings, particu-
larry in those devoted to the celebra-
ton of divine worship. Whoever en-
tiers a COpdc church cannot fail to
notice the numerous ostrich eggs which
hang above and around him.
The explanation is simple. The
churches are much infested by rats,
and these animals, as experience has
shown. have been in the habit OF crawl
ing down the cords by which the lamps
are suspended, for the purpose of get
ting at the oil and drinking ii. TO
hinder these four footed thieves the
cord belonging to each lamp is passed
through the shell of an ostrich egg,
which is thus fixed at Il moderate dis
lance above the lamp. The smooth
polished surface of the shell offers an
impossible barrier to the willy and adj
venturous rodents, so that they in
variably slide off and tumble to the
ground if they attempt a passage.

TRUE BLUE.
First Used rs n Political Term by
Scotch Presbyterians-


Blue is an emblem of fidelity, and in
Britain for several centuries it has
been so esteemed. Coventry was
formerly famous for a blue dye that
would neither change its color nor
wash out. and thence the epithets
Coventry blue" and true blue"
were figuratively used to signify per
sons who would not change their party
or principles on any consideration.
True blue" is said to have been
first used as a political term by the
Presbyterians of Scotland against the
Episcopalian church. Butler, in ''Hudi-
bras" speaking Of his hero, says:
For he was Of that stubborn crew.
Hight Presbyterian true blue.
Fox. we are told. wore in the house
Of commons a blue frock coat, and the
expression "a true blue Whig' was in
common use in his time, though, as
one writer puts if, blue must not be
set down as emb4ematic of fidelity be-
cause this color was formerly adopted
by the Wings. London Telegraph.
