A RESPONSIVE Audience.

A well known player, whose forte
is romantic comedy, tells an amusing
story in connection with the produc-
ton, some years ago, of an unsuc-
cessful comedy. This comedy was a
dire failure, drawing but meagre
audiences. The record in this respect
was reached when the curtain rose on
a Wednesday matinee in Brooklyn,
with fifteen persons in the house. In
the front Of the house there was but
one occupant young girl in the
second row. In the first row Of the
balcony sat one young man.
The play opened with a scene on
the deck of yacht, and as the lead
ing man emerged from the cabin and
gazed into the empty gulf before him,
he spoke his first line:
'The sea is purple; have you, too,
noticed it,"
Whereupon the voice Of the young
man in the balcony responded: II
don't know about the young lady down
stairs, but I can see it very plainly"

CREEPING Salt.

Here is something in the course
of natural phenomena (?) That will in
terest and instruct the little folk if
they look into IL curiously: Into a
tumbler half full of water dissolve
just as much common table salt as
can be held in solution. Let it stand
for few days and see how the salt
creeps out of the water, up the in
side of the glass and down the out
side-just thing of life trying to
escape from it's environment. And
when ali the salt is apparently out
of prison the water remains as salty
as before! 1t is a pretty demonstra
tion.-New York Press.

Cardinal Gibbons in Wrong Coat.

Cardinal GIBBONS IN wrong OOdes
Had Secretary Bonaparte been 0
smaller man Cardinal Gibbons prob
ably would have worn his overcoat
from Fords's Opera House to his resi-.
dence, on Charles street, Friday.
Both were attending the Santa
Claus party given the orphans by the
Knights Of Columbus. Cardinal Glib
bons was the first notable to arrive
and went to the box reserved for him.
His coat was hung on the rack. Mr..
Bonaparte came in soon afterward
and his box was next to the Cardin-
ais. Some one took the Secretary's
coat and placed 1t on the same rack.
The Cardinal was the first to go,
and those who sought his coat took
a chance ON a handsome black gar
ment with heavy silk lining. 1t was
taken to the Cardinal and held for
him. Not fitting his form as he
thought his own coat should, the Car
dinal looked it over and saw that it
was not his.-Baltimore Sun.
