"as once when performing my card

one. Later In the trick | produce q
rabbit from a box. and tied round It's

member OF the audience holds exactly

Shortly after an angry looking couple
bounced out Of the chapel the pastor
Of an uptown church presented per
picked countenanee before the busy
sexton.
aAs You know" said he. Il am new
IN this parish and new In the city.
Perhaps there are few things ought
to know. Why, for instance, do so
many people who never attend service
IN this church wish to be married
hereT'
Because our church." said the sex
ton, has the name of turning out the
youngest and handsomest brides in
New York. Our reputation for coed
works is dwarfed by our reputation
for beautiful brides. To say that a
woman is married here Is equivalent
to saying that she is a good locker
We are not supposed to deal In brides
OF any other description"
mo wonder" groaned the pastor,
shat that plain looking woman went
away in a hun. earnestly advised
her TO be married In her own parish"

Perhaps the most astonishing presen-
tatIon OF Hamlet" ever seen on any
stage was japanese version given by
native actors al Kobe. The Kobe Her
aid describes II as "a wonderful mix
ture OF the beautiful aud the gro
tesque. With an Ophelia sometimes In
graceful klmono and sometimes In
western evening costume and a king
who at one time appears in the pic
turesque costume OF a Japanese noble
man and at others dons a silk hat and
swallowtail coat, the effect IL so
Kaleidoscope that spectator has the
sensation Of being perpetually trans
ferred from one phase Of civilization
to another. The climax Is reached In
Hamlet himself. who in the earlier
scenes wears the uniform OF a student
OF the Imperial university. In the third
act makes his appearance on a bicycle,
clad In bright blue cycling suit and
striped stockings. and at the finish Is
seen in conventional evening dress
with a flower In his buttonhole"

A Hint and aHump.

A woman there was. and she wrote
for the press, as you or / might do.
She told how to cut and sew a dress
and how to cook many a sayory mess,
but she never had done It herself, /
guess, but none Of her readers knew.
She told how to comb and dress the
hair and how out Of a barrel TO make
a chair-'twould adorn any parl0r and
give It an air-we thought the tale was
true. Oh. the days we spent and the
nights we spent, with hammer and
saw and tack, in making a chair In
which no one would sit In which no
one could possibly sit, without a crick
in the Economical Housewife.

A Wave Of Water.

There Is no necessary connection be-
tween the advance Of a wave and the
forward movement of the water com
posing It, as may be seen by running
the fingers along the keys of a piano.
An inverted wave travels along, but
the keys merely move up and down.
Similarly a wave may often be OBJ
served running along the ripe ears Of
golden grain, while the stalks are firm-
ly rooted in the soil The onward
progress of a sea wave is easily per-
ceptible, and by watching some light
substance floating on the surface the
fact Is revealed that the water is not
moving with the same velocity. -

Suffered Bread with His Thumb.


Cats meat is the only survival Of
way OF serving meat that prevailed in
this country before the introduction
OF forks. for 1t was the custom In
medieval times to serve roast meat on
a spit and to pass 1t around the table
for each guest TO cut or what he
liked, a method that did not allow one
person only to secure the carver's tit
bits. In France one still finds chicken
lIvers and bacon served on small splits,
and to the Brltisher 1t always suggests
at first sight the food Of the domestic
cat. 1t is probable that many people
continued to prefer fingers to table
utensils. even after these were perfect
ed and in general use, for knives were
certainly invented at the period when
Charles XII. chose to butter his bread
with his royal thumb.-London Chron-
icle.
