BURNING IN EFFIGY.
A Custom Born OF the Superstition
of the Ancients.

"A custom Born Oh the superstition
of the Ancients.
The burning of people in efigy has
come from foolish superstition of the
ancients, who believed that by burn
ing a likeness of person they were
inflicting pain upon the individual him
self Theocritus tells us that the Greek
sorcerers killed their enemies by magic
rites performed over the effigy Of the
person who had offended them, and
Virgil also makes mention of this.
In the days of witchcraft and perse-
cution one of the most common charges
against witches was that they made
waxen images of their enemies which
they melted before a fire and thus
caused the dissolution of the originals.
The Japanese still regard the ehigy
as means of punishment of faithless
lovers, and in France to the time of
the first revolution execution by efigy
was a legal rite. In the Netherlands
the same illogical custom prevailed,
and the different religions burned the
emgies of each others leaders with
zeal. In England the burning of eff
fgies was also practiced, as it was
later in America.
No doubt from the ancient custom of
burning the eftigy arose the idea of
placing the wax figures of eminent men
in Westminster abbey. In olden times
upon the death Of a celebrity a waxen
figure representing him fully dressed
as in life was made and carried in the
rear of the funeral procession. After
the service the efigy was set up in the
church as temporary monument, and
during the time it was on exhibition it
was customary to paste or pin pieces
of paper containing complimentary
epitaphs upon it. The royal figures in
Westminster abbey date back to the
fourteenth century.-New York Trib-

THE REAL CHINESE GONG.
It Makes an Uproar AS Awful as It Is
AstOnishing.

1t Makes an Uproar AS Awful as 1t Ii
Astonishing.
By the way, did you ever hear real
Chinese gong? / don't mean hotel
gong, but one of those great moon
terrible power of utterance.
A gentleman in Bangor, north Wales,
who had a private museum of south
Pacific and Chinese curiosities, exhibit
ed one to me. 1t was hanging amid
Fiji spears beautifully barbed with
sharks teeth, which, together with
grotesque New Zealand clubs of green
stone and Sandwich Island paddles
wrought with the baroque visages of
the shark god, were depending from
the walls; also there were Indian ele
plants in ivory, carrying balls in their
carven bellies, each ball containing
many other balls inside it.
The gong glimmered pale and huge
and yellow, like the moon rising over a
southern swamp. My friend tapped
its ancient face with mufHed drum
stick, and it commenced to sob like
waves upon low beach. He tapped it
again, and it moaned like the wind in
mighty forest of pines. Again, and it
commenced to roar, and with each tap
the roar grew deeper and deeper till it
seemed like thunder rolling over an
abyss in the Cordilleras or the crash
ing of Thor's chariot wheels.
1t was awful and astonishing as aw-
full. / assure you did not laugh at it
at all. 1t impressed me as something
terrible and mysterious. vainly

Although the fever of African ex-

A FIRST NIGHT AUDIENCE.

The Crowd That Makes Up New
Yorl's Famous "Deathwatch.:
1t would be difficult in a line to say
just what the character of the first
night audience in New York city is.
There are the critics. of course, dozen
Or so of rather subdued and timorous
looking little men who wander lone
somely about, not seeming to have the
courage to speak to anybody outside
of their own set and who are general
~ followed by the vengeful glances of
some hurt actor.
Aside from the assortment of young
millionaires who like the theatrical at
mosphere, the main constituency of the
first night audience is the profession
and the allied arts, the criminal law
yers, managers, hackers of shows, ETC.
In the early part Of the season there
will always be number of we'll known
actors and actresses who have not vet
gone to work and who are enjoying
their vacations, much as the engineer
does during his two weeks rest in Au-
gust, by spending it at the roundhouse
the theater.
And this in general constitutes the
aggregation that has become famous,
or Infamous, in theatrical circles as the
''deathwatch." They are supposed to be
very difficult body Of people to
please, but, as a matter of personal ex-
perience, l have not seen first night
in ten years that has not been riotous-
~ and foolishly enthusiastic, no matter
how worthless the offering was.
At some of the worst failures of the
season I have seen the star called be-
fore the curtain dozen times in the
evening, the author and the manager
obliged to make speeches Of thanks for
the 'great reception while. the floral
tributes gave the whole thing the at
mosphere of a hospital on visiting day.

Origin of the Halo.

In the public places in Athens one or
two thousand years ago the Greeks set
up the statues of their gods and god
desses. To guard against the posi-
bility of the rain staining the marble
faces Of their masterpieces they used
to protect each with a large metal
plate at the top of the head. These
were mistaken by the preraphaelite
painters for emblems of divinity. Ac-
cordingly to this day we see around
the pictured heads of our Christian
saints the curious little ring which is
known as the halo

FELINE FISHERS.
All Cats Apparently Are Not Afraid
of the Water.


of the Water.
Judging from my experience, cats,
when living near water, are generally
fond of fishing. / have personally
known three feline fishers. One was a
mere acquaintance and used to fish in
a trout stream The other two lived
with us and during the summer
months used to fish in the lake nearly
every evening. They would crouch on
the shore and suddenly jump into an
advancing wavelet, very frequently
bringing out a small fish When they
had kittens, | have sometimes seen
them bring up to the house three fish
in the space of an hour.
know Of a cat, whose home was in
Westmorland. close to a stream, that
was regular and accomplished fisher.
She was a half Persian. Her daugh-
ter belongs to friends 9 mine, and
have myself seen this latter watching
the goldfish in the children's aquarium,
which at that time was, open at the
top and on a broad window seat. Puss
put in one paw and stirred the water
violently, then sat down to watch with
apparent satisfaction the terror Of the
fish, which she could not on that occa-
sion reach. Once the family found she
had caught one and killed a second, so
the aquarium was afterward always
covered by wire OF net. One Of this
cats kittens belonged to me and was
for her short life of under a year very
dependent on human companionship.
She came up to my bedroom frequently
the first thing in the morning and al
ways took great interest in the wash
hand basin, from which she would fish
out the sponge OF soap, and liked to
have her paw in the water She had
to be kept out of the bathroom, as
more than once she deliberately jump
ed into the bath when it had in it a
depth of two or three inches of water.
If this daughter and granddaughter of
the original fisher had lived near wa
ter, think the fishing instinct would
have developed, as the three genera
tons all showed fondness for this
element, which cats, as a rule, are sup
posed to avoid.-London Spectator
