Ravarisn Distances.

In the Bavarian highlands signposts
along the roads, instead of stating the
number Of miles or klometers to the
various villages, give the amount OF
time which the average pedestrian VIII
supposedly take to traverse the dis
tance. This Is merely an official ex-
preston Of the very general custom OF
the peasants in the region, who invarl'
ably tell inquilers on the roads not
how far it is to a place, but how long
it takes to get there. Not only that,
but they make the system still more
unsatisfactory to the stranger by lit
tie additional eccentricity Of their own.
For instance, one asks, "How far is
it to Oberammergau?"
"a small half hour" will be the an
swer, or perhaps ga good half hour
or "a big half hour"
Which is puzzling until the stranger
learns that "smaIl half hour means
twenty-five minutes, "a good hall
hour" thirty minutes, "a big half hour
thirty-fve minutes, "a small three
quarters Of an hour" forty minutes
and so on.

Guarding a Nail.

A gentleman in Jerusalem told me
that he found u Turkish soldier on
guard in some part Of the Church Of
the Holy Sepulcher, where 1t was not
usual for sentry to be, and inquired
of him why he was there.
He pointed to a NAL in the wall and
replied, ''It is my duty to watch that
nail"
Asked why, he explained that the
Latins or the Greeks--I forget which
had driven the nail with the view of
hanging a picture; chat a rival sect
had furiously objected. saying that 1t
was an interference with their prop
erty and wanted to pull out the nail;
that thereupon the Turkish govern
nent had interrened and set him to
watch the nail and see that no picture
was hung upon it and that it was not
pulled out.
To allow the picture to be hung
would have been to admit the claims
of those who drove in the nail. To al
low it to be pulled out would have
been to admit the claims of those who
objected to the driving In Of the nail.
Therefore the nail must be preserved
and the picture must not be hung, and
to see that this was so an armed SEN
try must watch day and night. For
aught I know he may be watching

A Scene Not In = PLAY.

An extraordinary scene took place In
the Princess theater, London, on the
night Of the first production Of Charles
Reade's great play, Never Too Late
to Mend" Oct. i, 1866. During the
prison scene a large quantity Of water
was thrown over Miss Moore, who took
the part of Josephs, the character done
to death by the warders. One of the
critics, MIR. Tomlin Of the Morning Ao-
vertiser, rose from his seat and pub
licly protested against the unnecessary
cruelty. This aroused almost a riot
among the audience, and the action OF
the play was stopped for some con-
siderable time. Fuel was added to the
Ere by George Vining, the lessee Of the
theater, who was playing the part OF
Tom Robinson and who made a most
imprudent speech, in which be prac-
tically insulted every critic present
with the result that the theater was
left severely alone by the press for
many months. The play, however,
turned out to be popular success
and had, for those days, the phenorn-
ena1 run Of 40 performances.

Traced bv 2 Sluebot+Ie Fly.

The great objection to the use OF
poison for rats is that they retire to
their homes and die there, to become
a nuisance and menace to health.
Friends Of the writer were compelled
to have the floor and wainscoting OF
their dining room removed for this
reason. a wiser man, knowing that a
pair Of poisoned rats had got under his
floor, summoned not carpenter. but a
naturalist, to his aid. They knew that
the rats were under the floor. but the
difficulty was to fix the spot. There
seemed to the owner Of the house no
alternative to the removal of the
whole floor; hence his appeal to the
nature detective. The latter would
not hear Of the floor coming up. He
cried out for a bluebottle, fly. One was
captured urhurt and turned loose IN
the room. After a little preliminary
hawking the bluebottle darted to the
floor and remained on one spot. like
a pointer which has found game.
"Your rats are under there" said
the naturalist. They cut down through
that board, and there were the rats

READING In Bed.

seBoys and girls under eighteen
should be strictly forbidden to read IN
bed," says the Lancet, on the author
ity Of DR.. Hugo Feilchenfeld Of Ber-
lin, who declares that IN the case OF
young persons whose eyes are not
fully developed the practice is likely
to induce myopia. While young peo-
pie run the greatest risk. the Lancet
thinks that reading in bed is unde-
sirable for persons Of any age and
states that lin the case Of aged, anN-
ious, worried and bedrid5en people, to
whom it would seem cruelty to deny
what may perhaps be almost their
only luxury, for fear Of inducing some
slight error Of refraction, care should
be taken that the light is sufficiently
brilliant, the eyes being shaded from
it, and that the patient lies on bis
back with head and shoulders raised" /"

old fellow who had been there many

say, Where's Uncle Dave? and the

On the day Of the admission of NJ.
Rostand to the French academy the
author of "Cyrano" and "L,Aiglon"
gave breakfast to few Of his
friends, the guest Of honor being Nine.

4 handsome gown, which had been
made expressly for the occasion. At
the end Of the breakfast she arose and
in an impressive manner took glass,
held it high and said, I drink to the
greatest of French dramatists, N. Ro-
stand, and I drink after the Greek
manner She then poured the con
tents Of her glass over her head and
gown.
Two OF Rostand's small sons were
sitting at q side table wearing new
velvet suits, also made for the occa-
sion. In the silence which followed
Bernhard's dramatic tribute the elder
Of the boys arose and, initiating her
manner, said, Il drink to the greatest
Of poets, my papa, and also drink in
the Greek fashion" and straightway
deluged himself and his small brother

The. First Pantomine.

John Rich has the credit Of produc-
Ing the first pantomime ever seen IN
England. This was performed on
Dec. 26. 1T1T, at the theater In Lin
coins Inn Fields. Rich had found him
self unable to compete with the legit-
mate drama at DrIry Lane, so he be-
thought himself Of the comic masques
occasionally performed in London and
combined with their scenic and me-
chanical effects the maneuvers Of the
pantomime ballet. The result was
"Harlequin Executed" which the ad-
rertisement Of that day described as
"a new Italian mimic scene, between
q scaramouch, g harlequin, country
farmer, his wife and Others" There
was all the business with which we
were familiar from childhood, huts
turned into palaces, shops into gar
dens, houses into trees. OF course the

tested against this innovation, but

Western brides have an easier time
than their Atyssinian sisters. On the
occasion Of her marriage an Abyssin-
Ian bride has to change her skin. From
ebony she has to become the color OF
cafe au lait. To accomplish this the
expectant bride is shut up in a room
for three months. She is covered with
wooden stuff, with the exception Of her
head. Then they burn certain green
and fragrant branches. The fumes
which they produce destroy the orig
Inal skin, and in its place comes the
new skin, soft and clear as a baby's.
