IrNing's First Success.

In 1874 Henry Irving achieved an i'm
menSe success by his performance Of
Hamlet" at the London Lyceum thea
ter. His Interpretation of the part was
so striking and unusual that the play
had run unprecedented at that time,
continuing for 200 nights. OF his ex-
perience in playing this part Sir Henry
gave, some years before his death, an
interesting account.
II can always teh," he said, when
the audience Is with me. 1t was not
with me on the first night Of Hamlet
which is perhaps curious, considering
my subsequent success. On the first
night | felt that the audience did not
go with me until the first meeting with
Ophelia. when they changed toward
me entirely. But as night succeeded
night my Hamlet grew IN their esti-
nation. | could feel it all the time,
and now | know that they like it
that they are with me heart and soul"

TearIup Cards.

To tear pack of cards in two is re-
garded by some as marvellous feat OF
strength, and yet the trick Is possible
to any one with fairly strong fingers.
The secret Of the trick lies in the fact
that the entire pack is not torn ut once
but in pretending to get grip on the
pack the strong man SO manipulates
the cards that they overlap. In this
way but single card Is torn ut time,
and once the surface is torn the rest Is
easy. To auy one who can held pack
Of cards firmly the trick Is fairly easy
and while in olden times single pack
of cards was considered to be the limit
of strength many of our strong men
tear three and four packs at time
The cards are restored to their origi-
nal form before being given out TOT
examination, and SO the trick escapes
detection.

He takes strips of the lemon peel, gives
them Il certain twist which breaks the
cells and sends the oil out in a fine
spray on the sponge. He has to work
quickly to avoid evaporation.
When the sponge has taken up the
sprays of about a hundred rinds it Is
wet enough to be squeezed out. An
ounce or SO of clear and fragrant oil
