A Good Critic.

I ~ /
Sir Henry Irving, the English actor,
once wanted white horse to use in
!. one of his scenes, but no white horse
that was suitable could he get At last
a stage hand advised him to apply to
a certain distinguished actor manager,
who, he said, had such horse. Sir
Henry visited the owner. inspected the
horse, and the bargain was concluded,
!: but as an afterthought Sir Henry said
!. he trusted the animal was not frac-
! tious. & E
! mot at all, Sir Henry, assure you;
an excellent horse In every way. Why,

] had to complain of was that he would
occasionally yawn when was on the

Ant Eaths.


Persons who are troubled with rheu
matism in Russia take ant baths as q
cure. It is done in this way by the
peasants near Moscow. Finding an
ants nest. he puts into linen bag the
ants, their eggs and necessarily consid
cradle dirt. Returning to fhe home, he
5plunges into the hot water of the bath
his bag of ants, which he has previous
:ly fastened tightly at the mouth. After
several minutes the water gives off a
very strong penetrating odor of formic
acid. The bath is now ready, and the
invalid is put into It. Such a bath has
q very active. irritant action on the
skin, being, in fact, a counter irritation
that causes the rheumatic pains to dis.
appear.-Strand Magazine.

Tennis and Lawn Tennis.

There are thousands who imagine
that tennis and lawn tennis are identi-
cal. In America tennis, the mother
game, is always known as court ten
mis-, whereas lawn tennis is gener-
ally known as "tennls." The games
are In many respects very DIFF
ferent. The court, which in lawn
tennis is open, in tennis is closed
at the back and sides by the walls, and
almost invariably above by roof.
There is considerable amount of play
of the back and side walls. The balls
are harder than lawn tennis balls, be-
Ing, in fact, of the consistency Of
cricket balls. Hence the rackets are
heavier and the gut is thicker.-Fry

Venezuelan Cowboys.

When the Venezuelan cowboy wishes
to>catch a bull or COW for branding or
for any purpose, he rides alongside 1t
and, with horse and bovine on the
dead run, stoops from his saddle,
grasps the creatures tail and with a
sharp, peculiar twist sends the animal
rolling on its back. From the force
with which it falls the creatures
horns almost invariably pin its head
to the ground. giving the vaquero time
to dlsmount and sit on its head, hold
ing the animal, helpless to rise, while q
companion ties it's legs.

Songs and Sentiment.

1t is a singular fact that in proper
ton to the wealth Of melody Of a ma
ton so does it's emotional side develop.
Remarkable instances Of this are to be
found in the United Kingdom. In
Scotland, Ireland and Wales, countries
rich in national songs the emotional
nature is strong. In England, where
the melodies, if sweet, ,at.zany rate are
not so touching and appealing, senti-
ment is slight-Lverpool Courier.

Fate.

A strange comedy ana tragedy was
woven Into the lives of Ibsen and
R1ornson. As young men they were
great friends; then politics flung them
apart; they quarreled and never met
Tor years and years. Strange fate
brought the children of these two
gpeat writer's together, and Bjornson's
Daughter married 1bsen's only child.
Ihe fathers met after q quarter Of a
century Of separation at the wedding
Of their children. .5. :,

mice. In another cage he had some
mice which were in good health. Short

The Oriqinal Porous Plaster.

It's Allcock's, first introduced
to the people sixty years ago,
and today undoubtedly has the
largest sale of any external
remedy-millions being sold
annually throughout the whole
civilized world. There have been
limitations, to be sure, but never
has there been one to even com
care with Allcock's- the world s
standard external remedy.
For a weak back, cold on the
chest or any local pain, the re-
suit of taking cold or overstrain,
there's nothing we know of to
compare with famous plaster.
