STREET LIGHTS.
How Throushfares Were Illuminated
In kLa Can>u&1.AkL.

How Throushfares Were Illuminated
In the Seventeenth Century.
Lighting the streets of large city
in olden times was far different
thing from the illumination of our
thoroughfares now. In 1861 the streets
of London were directed to be lighted
with candles or lanterns by every
householder fronting the main road
from nightfall to o'clock, the hour of
going to bed
In the last year of King Charles ii. Is
reign one Edward Hening obtained the
right to light the streets with lanterns
placed over every tenth door from 6
o'clock on moonless evenings until
midnight between October and April.
During the reign of Queen Anne in
July, 1880 Mr.. Michael Coke intro
duccd globular glass lamps with OIL
burners instead of the former glim-
merins lanterns. In 1716 an act was
passed which enjoined every house
holder to furnish light before his
door from 6 to II o'clock at night. ex.
cept on evenings between the seventh
night of each moon and the third after
it reached Its full.
In few years company was form
ed to light the street from o'clock
till midnight. each householder who
paid poor rates being required to con-
tribute for this purpose shillings o
year.
Gaslight, at its introduction in the
beginning of the last century. present
ed such novel spectacle to the eyes
of foreign ambassadors that they were
vain enough to imagine that the brill
liant lamps We're part Of general
illumination to celebrate their arrival.

THE TWO RoMEos.
Mrs. siddons' Opinion Of David Garrick
and Spranaer Barry.

Mrs. Siddons' Opinion eff David Garriek
and Spranger Barry.
David Garrick and Spranger Barry
were both playing Romeo at the same
time in London. Barry played 1t at
Drury Lane on the Monday. and Gar
rick played it the next night at Covent
Garden. and the town was divided as
to which was the greater Romeo-in
fact, there was quite great excite.
ment about it, and they acted it upon
such different lines and with such mar
velously different conceptions that the
people argued the case as to which
Shakespeare intended. The fact is that
Shakespeare intended it to be acted
well, and If one mans temperament
suited it best to act in that way 1t
would do for another Temperament the
other way.
So they asked Mrs. Siddons, who was
the Juliet alternately with the same
Romeo, which she considered better of
the two, and she said:
at is difficult to say. They are both
wonderfully great, but l will tell you
how they impress me in the balcony
scene. In the balcony scene Carried,
seems so eager, so intense and so full
OF fire and spirit that I'm afraid he'll
jump up in the balcony to me. and Bar.
ry is so lovable and fascinating that
I'm afraid shall have to jump down
from the balcony to him."
