HSettino the River on Eirov

In old English times. when each
family was obliged TO sift it's own flour
It sometimes happened that an ener.
getic man would turn his sieve so rap
idly as to cause 1t to catch fire. The
style Of sieve used in those days wac
called tense" and 1t became n Gus
tomary saying that lazy man would
never set the tense on fire. Now. II
happens that the name OF the river
Thames is pronounced like the name
Of this old flour sieve. and after many
years, when the old fashioned tense
was forgotten. II was thought that set
ting the tense on fire meant setting
the river on fire, and that is why to-
day we say that stupid person will
never set the river on fire.

THE TWO ROME0S.
Mrs. Siddons' Opinion Of David Garriek
and Spranger Barry.

David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time In London. Barry played II ut
Drury Lane on the Monday, and Gar
rick played II the next night at Covent
Garden. and the town was divided as
to which was the greater Romeo-in
fact. there was quite great excite.
ment about II, and they acted It upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact Is that
Shakespeare intended II to be acted
well. and If one mans tempera ment
suited II best TO act In that way Il
would do for another temperament the
other way.
SO they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better of
the two, and she said:
at Is difficult TO say. They are both
wonderfully great, but ] will tell you
how they impress me I'm the balcony
scene. In the balcony scene Garrick
seems so eager. so intense and so full
OF fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll
jump up In the balcony to me, and Bar
ry Is so lovable and fascinating that
I'm afraid shall have to jump down
from the balcony to him."

To illustrate his meaning he said that
