Scaling WINK.

1t is singular enough that the oldest
known printed recipe for making COM
mon sealing wax, published Mt Augs-
burg in 1879. describes the use OF al.
most the same ingredients as those at
present employed. Resin, the whitest
that can be obtained; venice turpentinc
and vermilion are the components. For
black wax, lampblack Is to be added;
for blue wax, smalt, and for yellow,

MEN IN SKIRTS.
Taking the World All Around They
Arc In the Minority.


If there Is one thing presumably GER
tain on th!s earth, in the opinion of
most of us, it is that skirts are essen
tally feminine and that the special
feature OF masculine attire is bifur-
Gated garment. But nothing is fur
ther from the truth. 70 this day the
majority Of the male element of the
human race, so far as it wears clothes
at all, is sllirted. And in past times,
not SO very long ago, gown down
10 the feet was the correct wear OF re-
'pectability in civilized Europe.
An anecdote told of st. Louis. king
.. France, illustrates this well. That
monarch was the stoutest of warriors
Il man whom no one knowing anything
about would dream OF accusing Of be-
ing effeminatc. but on one occasion he
seriously offered to exchange costumes
with richly dressed female relative
who had blamed hirn for wearing the
unpretcntions garments he usually ar
footed, which, she said were unsutcd
20 u King. But she thought his gown
TOO plain for her, so declined the offer
Now II is impossible 10 imagine Il
man like st. Louis even suggesting
such Il thing if the dress Of men and
women had not been practically iden-
teal except for war and hunting. In.
deed. glance at old pictures confirms
this impression.-Gran Magazine.

Up to the year TAG there seems to

foundation stone of the Canongate the

prices then customary-viz, 2s. 3d., Is.

such as the benefit Of popular actor,

admitting spectators to the wings and
even to the stage itself. Sometimes
the stage was so crowded in this way
that the actors had not sufficient room
TO carry out their business" properly
and, IL engaged in n duel. had to short
en- their lungcs for fear OF pinking
patron. II is to the credit OF Garrlck
that he was the first TO set his face
against this abuse and to close tie
stage door even to n prince OF the blood.
Those were days in which every the
alter led precarious existence. Actors
were barely tolerated. They were le-
gally "vagabonds. Their profession
was considered immoral not only by
the great bulk of tile public, but, in q
way, by themselves. A curious illus.
tration of this had hecn afforded q lit

himself to them. This was too much
for the actors.
Conscious of the fact that they were

the unwe.come visitor, IF haply they
might yet escape the destruction which
they believed was coming upon them.
Owing TO this general stampede the

1t was remembered that there was q

have been assumed for the occasion by
