A Curious Stage Custom.

It is not generally known that
the last three or four words of a
new dramatic production are never
spoken during the period of the re-
hearsal of the piece. Most frequent
ly they are never written by the
author.
The superstition of the theatrical
world is that it would be certain to
bring bad luck to the piece if the
last words were pronounced on the
stage before the first night. But as
the play must have an end, and it
should be known to all present that
it is at an end, the actor or actress
intrusted with the last lines usually
interpolates a word or two. For in
stance, the actor would say, "My
dear girl, my dear boy, kneel before
me, that I may forgive you and
bless you with-a farthing cake."-
London Globe.

Greatest Volcanic ERUPTION.

The greatest volcanic eruption Of
all history was the eruption Of
Krakatoa, in the strait of Sunda,
between Java and Sumatra, in 1883.
It caused a cloud seventeen miles
high. It was heard 5000 miles
away. If it had taken place in Lon
don, it could have been heard in
New York, Constantinople, st. Pc
tersburg, Cairo, Egypt, and Green
land. The velocity Of the explosion
was three times that of an Arm
strong gun. It raised tidal waves
100 feet high that rolled up on the
land for miles. It created dust finer
than any rock can be ground by
man. This dust was carried around
the earth for three years in the air.
It caused air waves that encircled
the earth several times. It broke
windows more than 100 miles dis
tant.-New York American.

Inches of Time.

Beware of losing or wasting inches
Of time. They are the little foxes
that run away with many days. So
much can be done in them and with
them, often the very things for
which we sigh hopelessly. Fill them,
every one. Keep something handy
something that fits the interval.
Remember a famous lawbook was
written because a lord chancellor
chose not to be idle throughout the
fifteen minutes his wife made him
wait each day for dinner. Recall.
too, all the men, noble and eminent.
who have climbed to the heights by
saving inches of time. Ali of us
cannot hope to become likewise en-
inent, but we can reasonably and
easily make ourselves happy with
things wrought in the fragmentary
moments which we might unthrift-

FLORAL suPERsTITIoNs.
Country Beliefs About the Mints'
Flowers and Luck.

Country Beliefs About the MINIS.
Flowers and Luck.
There is nothing which grows
around which there is more super
stition woven than the homely
minis. Not only is mint the crewn-
ing enticement of julep and a
thing which makes sedate Tables
gambol and roll like six-month-old
Kittens; but, according to tradition,
the different minis have supernatu-
raj properties, and there are good
and bad minis. Pennyroyal, aside
from it's qualification as a flea dis
courager, is said to make quarrel
some husband and wife stop bicker-
ing if it is given to them by some
friend. Catnip, on the other hand,
when chewed creates quarrelsome-
ness and is said to make even mild
and gentle people fierce. If catnip
is held in the hand until heated and
then put into the hand of another,
it will, so goes the superstition, so
control that person that he or she
cannot leave you so long as the cat
nip is retained in the hand.
Spearmint will prevent illness
so long as it is worn about the wrist.
If spearmint is mixed with salt and
annlied to the bite of mad dog,
the wound will heal, it is said. In the
olden days the children used to put
bit Of spearmint in the cots on
Christmas day, believing that at the
exact time when the Saviour was
born the mint would blossom.
The superstitions which cluster
around flowers are as many as there
are different flowers. It is consid-
cred unlucky to gather flowers out
Of season, as before and after the
season they are said to belong to
the fairies. The first wild flowers
which are gathered by young wom-
an in the spring should spell the
initials of her future husband, it
the superstition holds true.
Here is a schedule of supersti-
tons about finding the first flower
Of the season:
If found on Monday, good luck
oil the year.
If found on Tuesday, large un-
dertakings, which will be success
full.
If found on Wednesday, a we'd
ding in the family.
If found on Thursday, hard work
with little profit.
If found on Friday, unexpected
wealth.
If found on Saturday, misfor-
tunes.
If found on Sunday, best luck Of
all.-New York Tribune.

Accommodation.

II shall refuse to pay for attend

been staying at an old fashioned
country hotel and had just been
presented with his bill. 'fWhy, the
bells in the rooms are perfect dis

Everything wanted I had to fetch

hours tugging at those bell pulls. !"

MEANING OF MUSIC.
What II Can and What II Cannot Gay
to You.

What Il Can and What It Cannot Gay
Music is called the universal Ian
guage, and yet when you are strug-
Cling to understand what a COM
poser is trying to say always remem-
Der that he is speaking primitive
language that frames vaguely a SEN
tifhent or a mood or tangled fab
ric of sentiments and moods.
"The best definition I ever heard
of music" says Rupert Hughes in
the Delineator, els that of Tame,
Music is cry and, to my thinking
at least, the best music is that in
which to the largest degree each
note represents an cutlery. But then
a cry may mean SO much or so lit
tie!
'The spirit of brooding music
may be found in the story of Robert
Schumann and his cherished friend,
Frau Voigt. One summer evening
he took her out in rowboat, ship
ped the oars and sat for an hour in
complete silence. When they land
ed again Schumann pressed her
hand in farewell and said:
"'We have understood each 9TH

''There is the message of contem-
plative music in a nutshell. We
have understood without words, and
with words we could not explain.
emusic cannot even hint at a glo-
rious contour or a ripple of music
which sculpture can make immortal,
nor suggest the color of land
scape or a woman's eyes, which
painting can give to posterity, nor
spin out skeins Of thoughts well
chosen and deity arranged as
poetry and prose are wont to do. It
cannot with gesture grip your
heart or with a grimace make you
laugh as drama can. It cannot mar
rate a romance nor indulge in the
WITNESSES of an essay, the patriotic
fire Of an grafton, the fact mosaics
Of history, the massive flights of
architecture.
"Music is eternally debarred from
even attempting any of these fields.
And yet one finds compensation in
being allowed to nestle little closer
to the heart of things in themselves
and emotions as emotions than any
other of the muses. that make the
world worth WHILE"
