OLD TIME THEATERS.
The Way House and Stage Wsrs
Lighted In Garricks Time.

The Way House and Stage Were
Lighted In Garrlck's Time.
1t must have often struck people
when reading Of the performances in
the eighteenth century how 1t was that
the lightning was contrived. The poNA
er of oil lamps was limited enouSsl.
Theaters like Drury Lane and CO<tht
Garden were of enormous size. There
were no footllghts, at least until about
the middle Of tho eighteenth century,
and they were the humble floats" dim
enough. Yet there was ample light to
observe expression and play Of fea-
lures, so necessary In interpreting the
fine old comedies Of character. Now
adays the stage Is one blaze. 1t Is lit
orally bathed and suffused In light.
There are no shadows, and yet 1t might
be said the amount of necessary light
Is no more than there used to be and
is not nearly as satisfactory. How was
1t then?
In the theaters of Garrlck and earlier
days the stage was really lit by four
great chandeliers, which hung directly
over the heads Of the actors from the
arch Of the proscenum and just out
side the curtain. When the play was
over, these were lowered slowly, sig
nal for the audience to depart. These
chandeliers furnished goodly amount
Of light on circular zone Immediately
below them. The actors faces and fig.
ures were lit in the natural way, as the
sun would light them, but the rest OF
the stage was comparatively dark OF
| gloomy .-Blackwoods.

Yakima Fruit In Demand.

FRANKLIN'S KITE.
The Philosophers Famous Experiment
as Described by Himself.


The famous kite experiment is de-
scribed by Franklin in a letter dated
| Oct. 10, 1852: make a small Cross of
light sticks of cedar, the arms so long
as to reach to the four corners of a
large, thin silk handkerchief when ex-
tended. Tie the corners of the hand
kerchief to the extremities of the cross,
so you have the body of kite, which,
being properly accommodated with
tail, loop and string, will rise in the
air like those made Of paper, but be-
Ing made of silk is better fitted to bear
the wet and wind of q thunder gust
without tearing. To the top Of the up
right stick Of the cross is to be fixed a
very sharp pointed wire rising a foot
or more above the wood. To the end
of the twlne next the hand Ia to be
tied a silk ribbon, and where the silk
and twine join key may be fastened.
This kite Is to be raised when thun-
der gust appears to be coming on, and
the person who holds the string must
stand within door or window or un-
der some cover, so that the silk ribbon
may not be wet, and care must be tax
en- that the twine does not touch the
frame Of the door or window. As soon
as the thunderclouds come over the
kite the pointed wire will draw the
electric fire from them, and the kite,
with all the twine, will be electrified
and stand out every way and be at
tracted by an approaching finger And
when the rain has wet the kite and
twine you will find the electric fre
stream out plentifully from the key on
the approach of your knuckle."

FIRST WEAKFISH CATCH

Edward Bonsall, of Tioga, Philadel-
phia, and party of friends, made the
first weak fish catch of the season on
Sunday. Four large fellows, speckled
and gamey, were the spoils of the day.
Bonsall and his friends rejoiced at their

for it is a signal that weak fish are be-
ginning to arrive in these waters. Capt.
George Madara and Samuel Layton

out to the fishing grounds and to them
a full share of honor of the first catch
is due.
The splendid weather of the past
few days has brought to this part of
the island a large number of visitors
among whom were many cottage own
ers who inspected their summer homes,
preparatory to an early coming to the
shore. On Sunday fully several hum
dred visitors, principally Philadel-
phians, were out at the Ottens Canal
admiring the new boats at Browers
ship yard and the craft that are al
ready floating in the waters of the
canal. This waterway is becoming
more popular every day among those
who enjoy grabbing and boating and
when the islands summer crowd gets
here, hundreds of pleasure-seekers will
spend many pleasant hours ON the
canal.
The Wildwood Yacht Clubs pretty
home on the shore of the Ottens Canal,
is now open for inspection, and to the
residents apd visitors to the teach is

A Quaint Scotch Wedding Custom.

A quaint wedding custom still pre- vails in many of the little country towns and mining villages ill Scotland. When a wedding is held the contract ing parties make their guests pay in full for the eating, drinking and danc- ing facilities which are usually pro vlded on such occasions. The practice still seems to survive even in Glasgow A correspondent observed notice posted up in the Cowcaddens, low class Glasgow thoroughfare informin3 7 the public that soldier would shortly enter into the bonds of wedlock and that twopence would be charged for admission to the ceremony and an ad ditional sixpence imposed for attend ance at the wedding feast. The prac tice seems to be peculiarly Scotch, but sixpence certainly seems moderate enough for marriage supper.-West- minister Gazette.

Why Swelling Follows a Blow.


 The swelling which follows from g blow is natures effort to protect th2 part from further injury and to keep 1t at rest while repair is going on. What actually takes place at the seat of in jury is not even now quite understood. The injury to the smaller blood vessels interferes with the flow of blood through them. and the white corpus cles. with part of the serum, the va tering part Of the blood, escape into the surrounding tissues. At the saln3 time the blood vessels in the neighb0i- hood dilate, and the increased flow Ol blood with the thoroughfare obstructed increases the swelling. It is probable that the white corpuscles of the bloc
 pass into the tissues to assist ill the rc- pair, as bees or ants assemble at all ih- jury to their storehouse, but with this difference-that the substance of the corpuscles is probably converted into the tissue of repair. From one point of view the human body is only one gi
 gantc colony of individuals and the swelling that follows injury but tn; rush of these to repair the breach.
