u 10 Not . Gift, but Simply . Matter
OF Steady Practice.

Ventriloquism is a curious illu-
sion. There are two erroneous pop
ular notions regarding it, One is
that it is a special gift unattainable
by ordinary mortals and the other
that the ventriloquist produces the
sounds he utters from his stomach,
as the word appears to signify, and
throws" them this way and that as
he pleases.
As to tk4 first point, any one can
learn to ventriloauize who is willing
to work at it hard and long enough,
and regarAing the second point the
fact is tina; no, man can produce vo-
cal sounds otherwise than with his
lnrynx. 1t is simply a matter of
cheating the ear, The performer
needs ony a facility in speaking
without moving his lips and a little
skin in misdirecting the attention
of the spectators in order to sue
ceSsfully mislead.
''Ventriloquism was known to the
Egyptians more than 5000 years
ago and is said to have been much
used, by priests Of old to make the
ofacles talk and for other miracu-
lous purposes: The simplest yentri-
loquial trick for the beginner to Try
is performed, 81 going to the door
Of a room full of people and, open
ing it slightly, thereupon conduct
ing a conversation with an imagi-
nary person in the hallway. The
deception can be made effective if
well carried out.
One day upon entering a room in
a big office building l found a red
faced man conducting a violent
quarrel through q speaking tube
with somebody five floors higher.
His own remarks were loud and
fierce, and the replies were family
audible. I was not a little surprised,
to find such a thing going on, and,
it was not until afterward that I
learned that the red faced man was
doing the whole conversation

STAGE BUSINESS.
A Esys1s First Appearance and an I'm
rehearsed Funny Act.

Nh Hyn, Harding, q popular Eng
fish actor, made Il most. trying first
appearance on the stage. He play
ed the part of a servant, and all he
had to say was "Thc duke has ar
rived and take off the stage a plate
Of dessert which was on the table.
But when he got down to the
theater in the evening he found
that the livery he had to wear was
made for a man considerably small
er than himself. Still, as there was
no, other costume, he had to put it
on. When he went on the stage the
serviette. he carried on his arm fell
to, the, floor, and as he did not
like to, leave it there he stopped to
pick it up.
Unfortunately his breeches were
SO tight that it was impossible for
him to stoop low, and ominous
cracks reminded him that the seams
of his garments were not too firm
and persistence in his efforts might
be disastrous.
1t was a case for strategy, and so
he stopped a little first one way and
then the other in the vain attempt
to accomplish his object without
damage to his clothing. With each
intellectual effort the audience roar
ed with laughter. Standing in the
wings was the low comedian ready
to, come. on, who naturally saw his
efforts being discounted by this un-
Echearsed effect which was having
so great a success. "Leave the
stage and come off," he whispered.
This, however, was the n thing
the novice felt he could not do. He
persisted in his attempts to take up
the serviette, to the increasing de-
light of the public,
AT last a happy idea struck him.

kicked it up into the air and neatly
caught it as it fell, q feat which
drew enthusiastic applause, redou-
bled as the actor left the stage. As
he reached the comedian he was re-
sefved with a volley of abuse, The
novice's cup of bitterness was full.
Presently the manager, however,
arrived IN ecstasy. "That's n of
the funniest things I've ever een IN
my lifef r. he. cried, "Please do that

"Got His Goat"

Sitting at a table in a Broadway
cafe, S well known turfman a few
nights ago told how the phrase "got
your goat" originated, He said it
was borrowed from the race track
stable. He said that it had been the,
custom of many trainers to. place a.
goat with a thoroughbred in train
ing for a race. The diversion that
rhe goat furnished the horse was
supposed to play a great part in,
balancing the animals tempera--'
ment. When the time for the race.
was near at hand great care was ex-
ercised to prevent the horses friend,
from being stolen by hangers-on
who figured thus to unnerve the.
racer The loss of the goat has been
known to worry a thoroughbred
enough to make him lose a race,
and so it came to be said that when
a horse failed to perform up to ex-
pectations somebody had got bis
goat.-New York Sun.

The Gesture Language.

Gesture, OF sign, language was
beyond doubt the earliest form of
the communication of ideas. Long
before there we're such things as
words men talked to each other by
means of well understood signs.
There are still tribes of men in
Australia and the islands of the
southern seas, as we'll as in dark
est Africa, who when they wish to
exchange ideas at night are obliged
to build a fire so as to see by its
light the gestures that are their
only means of mental intercom-
%munication. To this day the sign
language is found useful even
among highly advanced peoples.
When you cannot make q man un-
derstand your words you can often
times get along with him fairly
well by making motions. New

Of the quaint marriage customs
still surviving in old English and
Scottish families one concerns the
Dukes of Atholl and their heirs.
The duke always carries his bride
across the threshold Of Blair castle,
it being in accord with an ancient
tradition that it is unlucky for a
bride to enter in the ordinary way.
But this is only one Of the many
quaint old fcudal customs that are
observed upon this estate, which
the Duke of Atholf holds from the
crown by a strange tenure. Upon
fear OF forfeiture the owner has to
present his sovereign with a white
rose whenever he or she visits the
castle.
