satire is not confined to any particu-

nearly everything of interest which

bracing not only the very flower of
Brfdgeport's local talent, but a real
Broadway favorite, Miss Margaret

A curious ceremony is performed IN
Japan by the court musicians at Ger
tain Shinto festivals. Both stringed
and wind instruments are used, but ii
is held that no sound should be allowed
to fall upon unworthy ears, and, as
some of the ears present might be un-
worthy, all the motions of playing are
gone through by the musicians, but not
a single sound is heard. This strange
custom dates back many generations,
but since the advent of civilization has
rapidly lost favor.
