members Of It's company at the time,
were frequently called upon to play
at court. But its chief patroness was
the Duchesse de Berri, who went as
often as three times week to the
plays there. and had two adjoining
boxes on the balcony, which gave the
name of the court side" to that part
of the theater. The plays given there.
strangely enough, we're often very sa-
tirical and did not spare even the
court. However, as the criticisms were
mostly harmless, they rather helped to
keep up the great vogue Of the thea
ter.
During the troubled periods of 1885
and 1S4S the actors and actresses often
had to make room for soldiers, who
we're sometimes massed inside the tho
ater, and poured out into the boule-
ward from its doors to quell riots or
noisy demonstrations. The political
leaning of the theater, as a rule, was
toward the Bonapartlsts, and 1t was no
wonder. therefore. that Napoleon ILL.,,
when he got into power, became one
of its chief patrons. The prince-pres-
ident was at all the premieres and fire.,
ouently took a box, for which he In
variably sent 1000 francs in advance
His box was always, as far as possible
awav from the boards, to show that ht
came to see not only the actors but tC
enjoy the play. In 1867 he took all his
royal guests who had come for the
exposition to the Varieties. The pres
idents of the republic kept up this
tradition. and NJ. Theirs, as well a.
Marshal MacMahon, were frequent Wis
itors. The tradition was broken b!

Legend of Tea.

Tea, says an eastern legend, first
brought balm to man long ago in the
nfth century, A. D., when the son of
. powerful Indian rajah first stepped
from his boat onto the shores of
China. The young man was possessed
NJ a desire to live in religious solitude.
His food was to be the nuts and roots
and herbs OF the forest; his drink, the
cool-running water Of the streams.
Among his strict vows was one that
he would never thereafter close his
ewes. But so great was his exhaus-
tion that he fell asleep in spite Of
himself when he reached the shade Of
the row Of trees that bordered the
coast. And great was his sorrow when
he awoke. To punish himself for hav-
ing broken the vow, he slashed off his
avelids with his knife, and cast them
onto the ground.
The next day he chanced to pass

THE JOINT SNAKE.
Some Information from One Who IL

Some Information from One Who IL |
Sure He Really Knows.
This department probably has no
business in the joint snake symposium
now being conducted by the Lawrence
Journal and Kansas City Star, but as
neither the Journal nor the Star seems
to know much about the reptile, We
herewith tender some authoritative in
formation. The joint snake is a crawl
ing thing, varying in length from six
to fifteen inches, and in its general
appearance more nearly resembles a
lizard than q snake. In color 1t Is
dull yellow, with minute stripes OF pea
green, and its skin is glazed and trans
parent, differing in that respect from
all true members of the snake family.
There is nothing In the theory that
the Joint snake flies to pieces when hit
with a stick, and that 1t afterWard
crawls about collecting and marshall
ing In their proper order the dismem-
bered portions Of its anatomy. Ihls
theory is as fictitious as one concern
ing the disposition of the hoop snake

rolling about the country. AS mat
ter of fact, the joint snake has but
one Joint, located at point two-thlrds
the length Of its body, measuring from
the head. Any sort of rough treat
ment will dislocate this joint. A hard

of the body may be separated oy q

Perhaps you do not know how
strong you are in some ways. Here
is a trick which will show you that
you have more strength in your arms
than you may have supposed: Hold
your hands straight in front Of you,
with the palms toward you, and the
middle fingers of each hand Just
touching each other. Then ask some
one to pull your hands apart. You
will be surprised to find that a much
bigger. stronger person than you Will
probably not be able to pull your
hands away from each other.
