The old time actor had peculiar ind
primitive views us to elocution and its
uses. remember certain old friend
Of mine who, when he recited the open
Ing speech in "Richard I'LL" and arrived
at the line, sIn the deep bosom Of the
ocean buried" suggested the deep bos-
ON of the ocean by sending his voice
into his boots. Yet these were fine
actors, to- whom certain young gentle
men who never saw them constantly
refer. The methods Of the stage have
completely changed and with them the
tastes of the people. The probability
Is that some Of the old actors Of only
a few years ago would excite much
merriment in their delincation of trag-
edy. A very great tragcdian of past
generation was wont III the tent scene
In "Isichard ILL.," to hold piece of
soap in his mouth. so that, after the up.
pearance of the ghosts, the lather and
froth might dribhle down his chin, and
he employed moreover trick sword
which ratified hideously. and. what with
his foam flecked face, his rolling eyes,
his inarticulate groans and his rattling
blade, the small boy in the gallery
was scared into frenzy Of vociferous
delight!-Richard Mansfield in Atlantic.

Vegetable Renn.,..

Those who would like to make cheese
on very small scale are often trou-
bled to get proper rennet to produce
coagulation of the milk. A scientist
says that II the leaves of the common
butterwort IRE placed in a strainer and
the milk fresh from the COW Is poured
over 1t the milk will soon become thick
and has most delicious flavor. The
yellow bedstraw also possesses the
properties Of curdling milk, and the
natives of Cheshire prefer 1t as rem
net to all other sorts. The leaves and
flowers are put in the strainer, and the
milk is slowly poured over them. The
flower heads Of the garden artichoke
also possess the property OF coagulat-
ing milk. In view Of the carelessness
sometimes noted in people who prepare
rennet In the ordinary fashion this
vegetable rennet is worthy of atten-
ton. The leaves, properly cleaned and
prepared. would be very much safer
and more, hygienic than animal sub
stances which may go through chem.
ical changes that unfit them for food.

the public official was at his wits end.
He had been examined himself often

could not think of a question to ask.

Lava In the ocean.

This earth received what was proba.

times when the tremendous volcanic
eruption Of Krakatoa, in Sunda strait,
occurred in 1888. A curious incident of
that time is recalled by correspond.
ent who was n passenger on a steam
ship Oh the voyage between Colombo
and Albany, King Georges sound, some
1900 or 1000 miles south of the center
of the disturbance. 1t was IL beautiful
night, and shortly after dinner. when
the deck was crowded with passengers,
the lookout shouted, Breakers aheadw
This was In midocean, with no shoal
water nearer than the Australian coast,
five or six days sail distant. The
steamer was slowed down, and pres
emily drifted into mass of floating
lava and green slime. Bucketfuls were
hauled on deck and strained through
cloths. Nearly all night the steamer
forged ahead Mt half speed, with the
floating scum grating against her sides.
and in the morning, when clear water
was reached, the sides of the ship be-
low the water line We're bare of paint

English Railways and For..

1t is seldom that there is sufficient
ly heavy fog on an American railway
to cause serious inconvenience that no
special precautions are taken, but in
England heavy fog is SO common
that there IL a regular service made up
Of the repair gangs, who take the place
Of the mechanical signals. Every dis
lance signal is guarded by signal
man. who is supplied with flags and
torpedoes, the latter being called de-
tonators, while the signal men are
pointsmcn. Two torpedoes are placed
on the track to warn the engineer when
the signal is set Mt danger and are sup
plemented by red lantern in the
hands of the signal man. AS the tor
pedoes cost cent and half each and
are used in great numbers there is n
machine supplied by which the second
torpedo is forced from the rail by the
force Of the explosion of the first. as
only one is necessary, the second being
merely precautiOn.

People sometimes think how delight
full 1t would be to be quite free. But
a fish, as Ruskin says, is, freer than
man, and, rs for o fly. 1t Is "a black
incarnation of freedom" A life Of SO
called pleasure and self indulgence is
not life of real happiness or true
freedom. Far from It, II we once be-
gin to give way to ourselves we fall

er temptations are in some respects
like thnt Of drink. At first, perhaps. It
seems delightful, but there is bitter
ness at the bottom of the cup. Men

previous indulgence. So 1t is In other
things. Repetition soon becomes q
craving, not pleasure. Resistance
grows more and more painful. Yield
ing, which at first, perhaps, afforded
some slight and temporary gratifica-
ton, soon ceases to give pleasure and,
even IL for time 1t procures relief,

thing is within their power. If they
succeed in throwing out the dele
gates from the Governors home
county and enough others to defeat
hiinfor the nomination, the two
factions of the party will be past re.
Cancellation n d two republican
state tickets in Iowa this fall will
very likely be the outcome. 1t has
never been questioned but that Gov.
Cummins carried his home country
by vote Of about two to one. The
reasons given by. Mr.. Perkins for
contestingthe county are purely tech
meal and are as follows;
First-The Polk county convention
failed to elect any delegates to go to
the republican state convention.
Second-The delegates to the
county convention we're prohibited
under the law from giving proxies
and when in convention assembled
had no power to delegate portion
of their duties to A. B. Cummins or
any one else and the prohibition of
the law became effective from the
time they were elected delegates till
the convention adjourned.
Third-ln attempting to authorize
or empower A B. Cummins or any
one else to select delegates for said
convention it was attempting to
perform portion Of its duty by
proxy.
Fourth In sustaining the del
egates, McC omber's motion to lay
on the table the Twombley resolu-
tons, offered as a substitute, carried
the main resolution, authorizing
Cummins to select delegates to the
table, so that there were no resolu-
tions pending before the convention
after the chair declared McComber's
motion carried, and the attempted
affort to delegate or authorize A. B.
Crmmins to select state delegation
for said convention failed of its
passage.
Fifth-That the Polk county re-
publican convention took no further
steps, passed no other resolutions,
utterly failed and neglected to elect
any delegates or authorize anybody
else to do so if it had the power.
