How Irvlna Wanted to Die.

Ellen Terry, in her account of her last visit to Henry Irving, says that she asked him what he had got out of life. In MeClure's Magazine she tells how he answered her.
 What have got out of it?" said Henry, stroking his chin and smiling slightly. Let mo see We'll, a good cigar, good glass of wine good friends" Here he kissed my hand with courtesy Always he was so courteous-slways his actions, like this little one of kissing my hand. were so beautifully timed They came just before the spoken words, and gave them peculiar value.
 That's not bad summing up of it all" I said. And the end. How would you like that to come?"
 How would I like that to come ?' He repeated my question lightly, yet meditatively, too. Then he was silent for some 30 seconds before he snapped his fingers-the action again before the words.
 Like that!"

The Auditorium.

The bill for the week beginning Monday, May the twenty y-fourth, promises to be fully as attractive as the one now showing at the Audito- rium It will be headed by a musical act which 1t is safe to say is one of the best of it's kind now on the stage. 1t consists of three people, father, mother and daughter. and is entitled The Three Musical Millers, featuring Miss Hazel Miller in Music. Song and Story, who is probably the best girl musician in the world considering her age.
 Leslie and Baker present a very neat singing and dancing quick change act similar to that of Wilmington Cross and Josephine, which made such a big hit here about six weeks ago and will surely entertain their audiences In a most pleasing manner during their engagement here next week.
 Arthur Moor, in a novel pianologue act, will be seen doing all kinds of stunts with @ piano, and should win a big hand, as he is ranked among the best in his profession.
 An act of great merit and different from anything seen at the house before will be the Liacon1be brothers, who do aerial work and many sensational stunts in lifting and holding with their teeth.
 Thee pictures for the coming week will as usual be among the best to be had. The feature reel for the first three days is entitled The Fatal Card and is a thrilling picture of western horse thieves. Troubles of Strand ed Actor is a funny picture and will show those who see 1t that the life of an actor is not all smooth sailing and full of enjoyment. Other comedy reels will De Love Germs, The Colored Ste nogyapher and Mary James Lovers.

China a Collection of Nations.

China is not a nation in the sense in which we ordinarily use the word. If we picture to ourselves the coun- tries of Europe, with their different languages and different customs, drawn together into a loose confedera- ton under the government of a con- quering race, we shall have some small conception of what this Chinese ma tion" really is.
 The peoples of these different Euro pean countries are all Caucasians; the different peoples of China are all Mongolians. These Chinese peoples speak IS or 20 distinct languages, each divided into almost innumerable dia- lects and subdialects. They are gov. erned by Manchu, or Tartar, conquer ors who spring from a different stock, wear different costumes, and speak among themselves language wholly different from any of the IS or 20 native tongues.-Success Magazine.

 But the other day it was found to have gone out The publication of the news caused indignation, which was intensified by the discovery that some one had stolen the oil from the sacred lamp.-Mew York Sun.
