PINAFoRE AND MERRY WIDOW.

Success of the Latter Recalls the
Career of the "Hardly Ever'' Play.
Some thirty years ago Gilbert and
London, says the Bookman. Since it
was not protected by copyright it was
instantly pirated in this country. Its
success is stage history. AS one news
paper puts it, "At present there are
forty two companies playing 'PinafOre.
Companies formed after o'clock p. m.
yesterday are not included" Its catch
phrase, what, never? Well, hardly
ever,p was deadly. 1t is related, for
instance, that an editor barred his staff
from using it. "It occurred twenty
times in as many articles yesterday.
Never let me see it used again"
what, never?" was the unanimous
question. "Well, hardly ever" replied
the wretched man.
These facts are mentioned to recall
its tremendous popularity. Realizing
how much money it was making, Of
which the authors and manager re-
ceived absolutely nothing, D'Oyly
Carte resolved to produce the pext OPP
era in America first and thus protect
it. 1.-THE Pirates of Penzance" was
consequently presented on Dec. 81,
1870 So great was its success that
the authors were offered $1,000 alone
for the right to play another company
in Boston.
To-day all this trouble about copy
rights and piracy is simplified. One Of
the greatest successes in the history Of
comic opera, and an opera itself which
will compare in every particular with
"Pinafore," is "The Merry Widow"
She is with us, Waiting nightly, and
gold spangled dollars are still falling
riotously as she whirls. Now it hap
pens that the theatrical interests in
Austria, being anxious to steal all the
European success without compensa-
ton, have avoided copyright law;
consequently 1Fhe Merry Widow" is
not protected. Mr.. Savage, however,
having bought for $4,000 the moral
rights of the piece in America from Mr..
Edwards, who obtained the entire En-
glish speaking rights for $4,000, is not
bothered by competition. This is due
entirely to the syndicate, which, own
ing an interest in the production, re-
fuses to book in its theaters any other
version. So great was this control that
even when Mr. Weber wished to bur-
lesque it he was compelled to pay roy
alties to Mr.. Savage, else he would
have found no theater on the road in
which to play.

A Good Arithmetic Problem.

=
The following problem, with it's anal
ysis, is printed for benefit of those that
like to have something of the kind to
test the mathemat teal ability Of their
friends with.
Divided the number 237 into three
parts, so that times the first part
shall be 5 times the second part and 8
times the third part.
Analysis-As 3 times the first part
equals 5 times the second, the second
must be 3-5 of the first; and as 3 times
the Hrst equals 8 times the third, the
third must be SO of the first. The
three parts, therefore, are as 1, 3-5,
and 3-8; or, as 40, "a and 13, which
foot up 20. The number 70, however,
Is only one-third of 237, and using
as a common multiplier, we have 3
times 40. or 12O, us the first number !;
times "a, or ~, as the second num-
Der and 3 times Is, or 45, as the third
number.

ton that eggs laid by cocks were Of
inestimable worth for use in certain
magical preparations that a sorcerer
would rather possess a cocks egg than
the elixir Of life, and that Satan en-.
ployed witches to hatch such eggs, from
which proceeded winged serpents most
dangerous to mankind.
The prisoners advocate admitted the
facts Of the case, but contended that
no evil intention had been proved, and
that no evil result had taken place. Be-
sides, the laying Of an egg was an in.
voluntary act, and as such was not
punishable by law. Also there was 10
record of the devil having made com.
pact with the animal. The public
prosecutor stated in reply that the evil
one sometimes entered into animals, as
in the case of the swine which drown
ed themselves in the Sea of Galilee.
So the poor creature was convicted,
not as a cock, but as sorcerer, or
perhaps the devil III the form Of a
cock; whereupon the bird and the
that was attributed to it were solemn.

For I'd say, "Why?" And l would try
To find out "How?" and when"
I'd beat the owl, with his wise old scowl.
And puzzle the wisest men.
But now, instead of nodding her head,
And saying, ''The child is wise,"
Mother looks down, with bit of a frown,
And says, with a sweet surprise,
'My dear, you know, you will older grow,
And then learn how, why, when.
You can't know all till you're strong and
tall,
Don't ask those things again.
Now 1 don't see why an owl in tree
Is wise when he asks, "Who"
When a boy like me, with his questions

Is a stupid child. Do you?

Too Precise for Anything.

people, and actually 60 a-fishing But
even while they sit in contact with the

them. For instance:

Boston Boy-The fish do not bite,

not to bite it, and the hook thereupon
becomes embedded in the mouth. But

that somebody was Uncle Ned.

small kerosene lamp, strip of paper
about four inches wide and about three
feet long, glass of water, teaspoon
and small plate. These he placed on
the table, while from the long book

in size from very large to a tiny
book.
He lighted the lamp and held the

so that it soon became covered with
thick, greasy lampblack. Then on the

he pinned the paper, the greasy side
