While In New York and before be
had made any hit the elder SotherD
had a dispute with Laura Keene con-
corning some trivial affair az q re-
hearsal, and Miss Keene went into one
of her tantrums. After the quarrel on
the stage she retired to her dressing
room and, still angry, sent for Sothern
and began to rate him fiercely.
"Stop, Laura-stop just a mlnuteP
interrupted the comedian. and, advanc-
ing to the light, he deliberately turned
1t down.
"What do you mean by that, sirr'
she demanded, In q rage.
"Oh, nothing" replied Sothern, "but
you have always been SO lovely to me
that can't bear TO look upon your
beautiful face when you are In a pas
sion. Now go on!

Chinese Sun and Moon.

In China the sun and moon are
brother and sister. The moon Is the
elder brother, who looks after his rath-
or silly sister, the sun. This Is exactly
the reverse OF our legends. which make
the sun the day king and the gentle
moon lady Of the night One day In
China. so the legend runs. the sun
asked the moon II she couldn't go out
at night. The moon answered very
sternly: mo. You are a young lady,
and II would be improper for you to
20 out after dark" Then the sun said.
But the people keep looking at me
when / go out in the daytime" So the
moon told her to take the golden
needles that she wore in her hair and
stick them into the eyes OF people
when they stared at her. This Is the
reason why no one can look at the sun
without pain.

Spanish Emeralds.

Zine old Spanish emeralds" 10 a
phrase which means something quite
different from what 1t seems to imply.
There never was an emerald mined In
Spain, but after the conquest OF Peru
the conquerors brought home great
quantities OF loot of which emeralds
formed an important part in this
way the finest emeralds came into pos
session of the old Spanish families,
and as very few had been seen IN
Europe previous to that time all the
best stones soon became classed as fine
old Spanish emersIds. Today the ex-
preston still applies to the best emer-
aids OF any source.-New York Sun
