cIearina the Atmosphere,

In his capacity of dramatic critic
 MT. J. Comyns Carr, the author, wrote
 a notice of the play of "Charles l." in which Irving played under the man. agement of MT. Bateman- His produc- ton deeply incensed the manager. In
 order perhaps to find the opportunity of informing the critic of his disap- provaL the manager invited him to a
 supper at the Westminster club on the second or third night or the produc- ton. When he thought the fitting mo- ment had arrived MT. Bateman led the conversation to the point at issue and, emphatically banging the table with his fist, declared in the loudest of tones that he did not produce his plays at the Lyceum theater to please MT. Comyns Carr. There was a moments awkward silence, which MT. Carr con- fesses he did not feel quite able to break, but which was released by a wit of the company with the happy re- tort, "Wel1, dear boy, then you can't be surprised if they don't please him.

Old Manx ARanknotes.n

Speaking of the curious Manx bank ing lore of the past, the Liverpool Post says that a singular state of affairs was exhibited in ''the island' at the close of the Napoleonic wars. Trade was brisk, money was more freely ad- ventured, and all sorts of private per sons began to issue notes. There was no occasion whatever to have sterling against them. All you had to do was to get some one to take them and pass them on. The fashion grew till even the humber traders issued card "promises to pay" the values most in circulation being 5 shillings, shilling and even sixpence. Once an adyo- cate from Castletown went to Peel to collect a judgment of 1850 from the coroner. of Glenfaba. This worthy paid him 2,7o4 card notes, many of them worthless. They took several hours to examine and count, and their trans port was an item of extreme difficulty. Finally they were put into big sack, half shaken to one end and half to the other, and the whole slung over the back of a horse. The father of the horse, soaking through, spoiled nearly half the cards!

 The custom of wearing mustaches did not prevail in France until the reign of Louis Philippe, when it be came obligatory in the whole French army. In England the mustache was worn by hussars after the peace of 1915. and it was not until the close of the Crimean war that English civil fans as well as English soldiers in gen. eral wore hair on the lip.
 Shortly after the mustache came in- to favor among gentlemen Horace MayheWswas passing through an Eng lish country town and was immediate E noted and followed by small army of children, who pointed to his lip and called out derisiveIy:

freexe it et Least . Day Before 1t Is

 The best ice cream is stale ice eream." snid the ice cream manufac- turer- You never hear of collie from ice cream among children who have never met the homemade article. It is queer thing that it would ruin a manufacturer to sell fresh goods, whereas if you know it is homemade and just out of the freezer you will praise it to the skies as being the su- perior of anything manufactured any, where.
 If you want your homemade cream to be really good and healthy make it at least a day before you usesft Churn 1t hard, but not too hard, and then pack it away in salted ice until you are ready to serve it. In this way all the little particles, of ice which make homemade cream so gritty and really harmful will have disappeared. The cream will sort of absorb the water that forms the ice, so to speak; conse- quently your cream will be frozen, not Trapped. It is a daring manufacturer who risks his trade by shipping cream less than week old. Sometimes I store my goods in ice as much as two weeks That isn't bit too long, either.

Its Hind Logs Arc a Most Formidable
 Pair of Weapons.
 The kangaroo seems poorly provid- ed by nature with offensive weap- ons. His powers of biting are not formidable, and his fore paws are so weak as to seem almost rudimentary members of little use. His hind legs are muscular and strong, but are ap- parently Of use only to assist flight from his enemies. On these hind legs is. found, however, a most formidable weapon in the shape of a long claw as hard as steel and sharp as chisel-as terrible to dogs as the scythe chariots of the ancien$s were to their enemies. When run down the kangaroo, plac- ing a tree be:,ind him to protect his rear, will seiSa in his fore paws such indiscreet doEs as rush up to him and, holding ~hem firmly, disembowl them with q hweep of his sickle-like claws.
 Even the Painters themselves thus caught in the viselike grip of an ''old man" Kangaroo of the larger breeds have sometimes suffered in like man ner and have now and then taken their own turn at being hunted as the en- ragged animals turned upon them and attacked their horses with blind fe- rocity.-St. James Gazette.

The girl was repentant, too, and she promptly got the sspersonal" ready, and all would have been well had it not been for the lynx eyed censor, who believed it to be some sort Of nihflist message and re- fused to allow it's publication. After awhile, however, the stern official was convinced that the "personar' was harmless, and it was printed four days late It was a little while after when the girl received word that her lover, having failed to see the message in print on the day he had set, had shot himself two days before it saw the light.

The Colossus of Rhodes.

The gigantic Colossus of Rhodes was one of the seven wonders of the world. It was erected in honor of the sun by Charles of Lindus, disciple of Lysippus, and was thrown down by an earthquake about PA B. O.
 The figure stood upon two moles, a leg extended on each side of the har- Dor. A winding staircase led to the top of the figure, from out of the eyes of which were visible the coast of Syria and the ships sailing on the coast of Egypt. The colossi were the pc ;culiar characteristic of eastern art and were of common occurrence, many of them being over sixty feet, in height. The most celebrated is the statue of Memnos, on the plain of Thebes, described by the historian Strabo.
