The following little gem was one of the experiences of MT. Benson. tho Shakespearean actor:
 Nr. Benson made professional visit to Dublin, and the rehearsals included the due training of body of stage assistants to represent the hurried ly retracting supporters of Richard "Crookback," when that monarch sue. cumbed to the onslaught of Richmond on the field of Bosworth. On the night of the first performance of the tragedy the army that was to fly stubbornly refused to leave the field or to ac' knowledge being vanquished, but turn ing upon the forces of Richmond gave them a severe drubbing. Nothing could be found to tame them to a proper submission till one of the rank and flle' said:

opoIee "Reminiscences.

The chapel clock peeled the hour fo; uA and we ate it with epicurean en. 1oyment. We were walking together. the senior and l, and 1 listened with baited breath while he told me fish story. Arm In arm we walked, but suddenly he stopped and drew his hands across his eyes. It was good likeness, but obscured his vision a bit Then he resumed
 "We sure were a bunch of hummer in our freshman year. In our snow ball fight with the sophs on Washing. tons birthday three of us gained the fence and began to chop 1t up into small pieces for souvenirs. Suddenly a seven foot soph grabbed the smallest of my assistants, but with well aim. ed snowfall between the eyes 1 laid him low. while scarlet streams rolled down his face and made intricate ara. besques on his collar"
 The senior paused and fetched a sigh, goodness knows where from.

Silence and Science.

Before 1t was determined scientific ally that smoke Is waste smoke was fixed as the final indication and proof of prosperity. Today smokeless chimney means nothing less thar thrift and good management. Similar ly we now hear that noise is proof o1 urban life, progress and activity. We may answer that noise Is loss as surely as smoke Is waste. Decreased comfort is loss and noise decreases comfort Disturbed minds are loss through re- duction of mental force. But these and similar consequences are indirect loss. There Is direct loss also. A rat ting car means worn bearings and 8 short lived vehicle. Otherwise raii roads would not spend so much on their roadbeds. and they would run trains at higher speed.-Detroit Free Press.

The London Police Whistle.

What is the most powerful eapoh . man can carry against the possible dangers of nocturnal London: For general utility and for special emer gencies you cannOt--at least such 1s one night rambler's experience-beal the ordinary police whistle. In addi- ton to its services as cab caller-one for a growler, two for hansom-there are times. happily extremely rare, when 1t may prove a tower of strength. One such occasion the writer can re call. About two hours after midnight in a quiet byway. An agitated elderly gentleman at an open door, which he Is afraid to enter. The lock has beeu forced. and within may be-burglars: Have you seen a policeman? No. But three blasts on the whistle and the de serted pavement swarms with them From every corner one arrives. and the house Is surrounded. The home going citizen knows not by what forces he is encompassed till he sounds that whistle in his or some one else's emer gency.-Iondon Standard.

Aookina the Wary Trout

Trout when hungry usually face uzl current. This fact should be remem' bered when approaching bridge o' eddy where the "speckled beauties love to hide." If possible, such spots should be approached upstream. It may take . little more time to go around and come back up, but make haste slow ly' Is said to be the first axiom of trout fishing. AS the stream becomes warmer, the trout seek the cool pools and shaded places. They are to ht found where a cold sprins bubbles E. into the stream or where mountain creek enters. Often a number freqnen' hs same haunt. Each additional fisii leans two more eyes to watch for th'
 sherman. One trout is all that Is ne"
 ssary to give a danger signal D.! hrting away. The rest immediatel, pillow suit. To catch more than one er even that, in such place takes skill in the use of the line. But who has said that trout fishing is not an art?-Circle Magazine.
