IRVING AND MONTAGUE.
One of Their Practical Jokes That
 Scared Thoir Friends.

One of Their Practical Jokes That
 Scared Thoir Friends.
 In Scott's The Drama of Yesterday and Today" the author tells of prac- tical joke played by Henry Irving and Harry Montague upon number of their friends, and fin its execution was seen the first dawning glimmer of that tragic force that was ultimately to find expression in Hoods Dream of Eugene Aram' and The Bells" Irving and Montague, hitherto the best allies. be- gan to quarrel on their way to picnic. and their friends feared some tragic consequences. After luncheon both of the men disappeared.
 Smale's face turned deadly pale. He felt tkat his worst fears were being realized With one wild cry, They're gone-what on earth has become of them?" he made dash down the Oar gle over the rocks and powders, with the remainder of the picnic party at his heels.
 At the bottom of a dreadful hollow behind the little wood" fearful sight presented itself to the astonished friends. There on a stone sat Henry Irving in his shirt sleeves, his long hair matted over his eyes. his thin hands and white face all smeared with blood, and dangling an open clasp knife.
 He was muttering to himself in a savage tone; I've done it! I've done it. said I would. l said I would"
 Tom Smale in an agong of fear rushed up to Irving, who waved him on one side with threatening gestures. "For Gods sake, man." screamed the distracted Smale, tell us where he is!'
 Irving, scarcely moving muscle, pointed to heap of dead leaves and in sepulchral tones cried: Hes there there. I've done for him. I've mur- dered him~
 Smale literally bounded to the heap and began finging aside the leaves in every direction. Presently he found the body of Harry Montague lying face downward. Almost paralyzed with fear, Smale just managed to turn the head around and found Montague con- vulsed with laughter, with a pocket handkerchief in his mouth to prevent an explosion. Never was better acting seen on any stage.

The poas of constantinopIe.

There are at least 235,000 dogs in Constantinople. which has population of 1.150,000. They are the vilest of towards and are the scavengers of the city. It is said that scores of people are bitten daily by the dogs of Con- stantinople. but that case of hydro phobia was never known there. Three centuries ago Nassuf Pasha, grand vizier to Achmet III, transported all the dogs to Asia and would have had them destroyed there. but the sultan. on consulting the mufti. was told that every dog had soul and consequently forbade such wholesale destruction. After the slaughter of the Janizaries Mahmoud intended to get rid of them, for he caused an immense number of sausages O to be made and, having poisoned them. gave the dogs feast. Many thousands were thus killed in one day, but the people murmured so much that he was afraid to begin & second days work. He therefore order ed them to be expelled to Asia. but the order was very indifferently executed. and in a short time the dogs were as numerous as during the time of the janizaries.

 In response to the officials gentle in. quiry touching tie cause of the demand the angry citizen explained that on the day previous as his wife was boarding one of the company's cars the conductor thereof had stepped on his spouse's dress, tearing from 1t more than yard of material.

SAW IT IN A DREAM.
A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way It
 Was Found,

A Lost Check and the Peculiar Way It
 Was Found.
 A wealthy New York lawyer sat up late one night writing letters he had not been able to finish during the day. It was past midnight when he went out to mail them, and when he returned and was undressing he paused in dis may, missing check for a large sum received during the day and taken home with him. In vain was the house ransacked at that late hour. He went to bed convinced that the lost check must be in the house. An hour later he fell into uneasy slumber and beheld as with his eyes of the flesh the pink check curled about an area railing four or five doors from his own house.
 So real was the dream that the trou- bled man woke up, dressed and, slip ping down the stairs into the street. walked along the sidewalk to spot still seen vividly in his mind, and there, sure enough, standing edge upward and partly curled about the iron, was the missing check. q think" he reported to the Psychical Research society, "my subconsciousnes must have noticed it fall from my pocket as walked to the mail box and my subliminal self point ed 1t out to me in sleep."-William c. Fitz-Geraid in New York Tribune.

THE FOREHEAD.
What Iss Size and Shape Are Said to
 Indicate.

Indicate.
 A high forehead to be very good should be well developed about the eyebrows.
 Breadth of forehead is always favor able. It Is distinctly connected with breadth of character.
 A forehead that curves back reveals a poetic temperament, fondness for the arts and talent for either music or painting.
 Of course a broad forehead may be part of weak face. and weak chin and mouth will naturally give truer impression of character than even combination of narrow forehead with an otherwise strong face.
 If, there is luite nerceptible bulge of the eyebrows, combined with high forehead, the sign is of calm. cool, deliberate thinker.
 If with these eyebrows is combined forehead that slopes gradually back. sensitive, poetic temperament is dis- closed. If, again, they are combined with short, narrow forehead, the subject will be successful in business and in everything connected with worldly matters, but he will be in- capable of appreciating to any extent or of creating anything connected with the arts.-New York American.

The poa MorIand Painted.

Of the many stories of the seemingly unconscious herolsm of Newfoundland dogs none Is more interesting than the one concerning the noble dog which Morland afterward painted.
 When William Phillips. bathing at Portsmouth. ventured beyond bis depth and was drowning. two boatmen, in- stead of setting out to his rescue, hag- gled about a reward from the bystand- CTS. who were urging them to go to Phillips rescue. In the midst of the controversy Newfoundland dog ieaped Into the water and brought the exhausted bather to shore. Mfr. Phil lips bought the dog from its owner, q butcher, and yearly gave a festival in honor of his rescuer.
 It was for Mfr. Phillips that Morland painted the dogs picture, and Barto- lozzi engraved 1t.

Solenodons.

Only two species of that singular in- sectivorous mammal. the solenodon. are known. one inhabiting Haiti and the other Cuba. They differ chiefly ir the color and quality of their fur. solenodons are quaint looking animals, rather larger than rats. with long nexi- ble shouts and naked tails. They are nocturnal and obtain their food by digging in the soft ground for insects. etc. with their shouts. Their brain capacity is small. and they are said to have the curious habit when hunted by dogs of hiding their heads in the nearest holes and leaving their bodies exposed.

The Mrona Bird.

One of the well known magicians not along ago had a queer experience, but the people in the theater had more fun out of 1t than he did. One of his tricks was to shake sack to show that 1t was empty and then to draw, out of 1t an egg, after which he would always reach in again and bring out the hen that laid the egg. Of course he had to have help in this, and one night he had new man who did everything just as he had been told until it came to this net. Reaching into the bag. he drew forth the fowl at the usual time, but instead of the hen an old rooster hopped down on to the stage. rufiled it's feathers and strutted around, growing with all its might. while the audience laughed and the magician went out to hunt bis new helper.-London Opinion.

FOODS OF ITALY.
speeialtiss of the Frissitriei In Naples
 and Genoa.


 Huge meaty chestnuts are found ev- anywhere in Italy. Peeled and boiled in a reddish broth seasoned with lau- rel leaves and caraway seeds, the nuts are palatable. About two dozen of the large kernels are sold for penny. In both Genoa and Naples the friggitrici are interesting, and some of their spe- cialties are well worth a trial if one can forget the unappetizing appear ance of cooks and cooking appliances. One friggitrice attracts attention to a tray of golden balls which she piles in a pyramid. The golden balls are arti- chekes. They are boiled in salted wa ter until tender and are put in a pan over steam to keep them hot until a customer appears. For threepenee the vender will take one from the steam ing pan, dry 1t. dip 1t into batter and pop 1t into the hot oil. A moment later a golden brown ball, delicious and crispy on the outside and tender and succulent on the inside, is handed to the purchaser. The frying is man. aged in such a way that when the fritters are taken from the kettle they are very hot. but so dry on the outside that they scarcely soil the fingers when eaten from the hand. Another frig- gitrice speciality is that of cheese balls. They are made of paste filled with crated cheese and fried Mashed chest. nuts, rice. chopped chicken and many vegetables are used to vary the filings for the popular fritos. Some of the frying kettles are portable, and the friggitrici have regular routes like the milkmen. where they tap at the base ment door, get their orders. take their tiny bellows and blow up the char. coal until 1t glows. and then cook the breakfast of meat balls or rice cakes or artichokes. which are sent in hot Leslie's Weekly.

THE FISH IN HIS BED.
Funny Climax to an Angling Experi~
 enee of General Gallifet.

Funny Climax to an Angling ESperis
 enee of General GalIifet.
 Long ago, in the days of the second empire, General Gallifet was the aid- de-camp of Napoleon III. At St. Cloud his quarters were just over the i'm perial bedroom Everything around him was very grand and very gloomy. The window of his room looked upon the pond that washed the walls of the phateau. The water was clear and the surrounding scenery was beautiful. but the young lieutenant felt like a prisoner. Early one morning, while seated at his window trying to drive away the blues with cigar, he espied below in the crystal water an enor- nous carp. The instinct of the angler. strong in Gallifet, made the young mans eyes snap and set his heart throbbing.
 The big fish was the private property of the emperor. Consequently for Gal lifet 1t was forbidden fish. But 1t was such fine fellow. The resistance of the soldiers conscience was useless. It surrendered unconditionally. The re- maining part of the campaign against the carp was simple enough. Gallifet went to his trunk, brought out his trusty line, to which he fastened hook and an artificial bait. With his accustomed skill he cast his line. The carp was hooked and hauled in through | the window.
 Here the lieutenant's fun ended and his trouble began. The fish, landed upon table, overturned large globe filled with water and caromed from that to magnificent vase, which 1t also upset and smashed to pieces upon the floor. Then 1t began to execute a genuine pas de carpe among the smith | ereens
 The emperor. hearing the strange racket overhead and seeing the water trickling through the ceiling, was as- tonished. He rushed upstairs to find out what was the matter. Gallifet heard him coming and endeavored to grab the carp and throw 1t out of the window and thus destroy the evidence of his poaching in the imperial pond. But the slippery thing was hard to hold, so he tossed 1t into bed and covered 1t up with the bedclothes. When the emperor entered the room, he noticed immediately the quivering bedclothes. He pulled them down and uncovered the foundering fish. His majesty's face assumed an almost jim jamie expression, which gradually faded into a faint smile. He took ip the entire situation. saluted and left the future war minister to mediate upon the mysteries of a fisherman's i luck. -.

"IN THE BISHOPS CARRIAGE.
 It isn't often theatergoers see such finished and artistic performances as Polls Own Stock company is present. ing at the Jacques. The production this week, Tn the Bishops Carriage under the personal direction of M. Percy Meldon Is a far more attractive production offering than many or the plays which are sent on tour. The different players in the cast are dflll- ed carefully in their parts, the stage business and acting goes as smoothly as if the company had been playing the same piece all season and the stage settings are made in good taste and are very elaborate for a stock production. This weeks play has made such an impression on local play lovers that many are coming to see it second time. The play is very fascinating, telling an absorbingiy interesting story of the reformation of Nance Olden, girl thief. Miss Frances Nordstrom plays the part and she is especially adapted to portray emotional roles of this character. The transformation of the girl from the lawless headstrong criminal that she is to be better woman is very effect i've. David M. Hartford gives strong, manly performance of William Latimer who brings about the girls reformation. The supporting company is excellent. Between the acts there are new illustrated songs and moving pictures. On Friday afternoon, six handsome dining room chairs will be given away to the lady holding the lucky coupon and on Friday evening souvenir photographs of one of the popular members of the company will be distributed. Polls popular prices.
