Some years ago a melodrama was
being performed in country theatcr,

himself, from his naughty and over
bearing conduct, disliked by all. In
the last scene he was supposed to
visit the tombs of his ancestors. In
the center of the stage upon a marble
PEDESTAL stood the statue of his father
A heavy fold of drapery covered the
figure. Enter Albert. who thus ad-
dressed the statue:

there was disclosed the statue of the
father gracefully standing upon its

was electric. The shouts of laughter
which followed the mistake of the su-
per effectually put an end to the
scene, which changed to the next as
quickly as possible amid the ieers of
the audience, the anger of the MANA
ger and the uncomfortable rage of the
actor.-LOndon Telegraph.

Some poor wretch, without money ia
secure his spirits from becoming wan.
dering devils. with the price of his mis-
cradle life can purchase proper care
for his spirit, Anything, in fact. can
be done if you have the money. 1t is
this belief that causes the Chinaman TO
commit suicide by taking his life on the
premises of his enemy to take venge-
ance on him. His spirit, he believes,
will forever haunt him. There is an
other reason also. He knows that as
sure as fate the officials will under
such circumstances come down upon
his enemy and strip him of everything.
Poor Chinese have been known to sell
everything they possessed, tear down
their houses to sell the timber sell or
rent out their wives and children and
even sell themselves to procure money
for the proper rites for the peace and
comfort of the ancestral spirits. One
thing alone Chinese will not do

Scottish Students Dress.

The Scottish university student has
a code Of etiquette in clothes as strict
as that Of Eton or Of Harrow. And
into 1t the straw hat enters. On Sept.
Is, be the weather ever so bleak, the
streets are full of what the small boy
knows as "strawbashers." On the 10th
you will find never a one-on a stu
dents head, that is. AS for the medi-
cal student, he seldom wears a straw
hat at all or anything in its place. 1t
is his pride to go bareheaded, as it is
to wear fancy waistcoat and turned
up trouser ends. The arts and divinity
men sedately avoid these last three
fashions.-London Chronicle

A SKiLLFUL SHOT.
The Way to Bring Down an Overhead
Incoming Bird.

ihe way TO BRING Down an overhead
Incoming Bird.
Ole of the cardinal rules of the old
time shooting school cautioned the
gunner against ever trying to stop an
overhead incoming bird, but to wait
until it had passed by and to the rear
and then take chances on what is I'M
doubtedly the harder shot of the two.
1t is surprisingly how difficult it is
for some sportsmen to successfully
score on their incoming birds. Many
who can seemingly cope with game in
any other mode Of flight will habitual-
ly balk at this shot and acknowledge
their inability to make it.
Yet once its principle is understood
and the lesson learned the dropping
of an overhead incomer is as easy as
anything can well be. The missNis al
ways made by the sportsman shoot
ing under and behind the bird and
there is but one way in which the err
ror Is to be avoided
To make the shot the gunner should
wait until the bird is about to pass
over him, then, bringing up his gun,
follow in from behind, cover the bird
and swing in ahead of it and, main
tanning the same rate of speed, press
the trigger the instant the bird is hid
den behind the barrels. Do not stop
the swing of the gun and be sure the
bird shall have disappeared from
sight. If the shooter will observe this
rule he will be surprised how easily
and invariably he will kill his bird

COMPRESSED ICE.
Sinks In Water and Crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.

Sinks In Water and Crumbles Into
Powder When Warmed.
All know that ordinary ice will float.
This relative lightness of ice with re-
spect to water is due to expansion of
the water at the moment of freezing.
If water is frozen under immense
pressure it seems that this expansion
is prevented and ice heavier than wa
ter is produced.
G. Tamman has prepared this modi-
fication, which he calls Ice I'LL. as
follows: He compressed water to 5000
Kilograms (6,614 pounds) and cooled
1t in solid carbon dioxide snow and
finally In liquid air. Under these con-
dltlons a colorless, transparent Ice is
formed. 1t Is much denser than ordi.
nary ice and heavier than water; con-
sequently 1t sinks when placed in wa
ter. Ice III. Is very unstable, and on
slight warming 1t swells out and
breaks up into a dense white powder.
The volume Of the resulting powder
Is apparently four to eight times that
Of the original ice. This powder form
ed by the breaking up Of the dense
form is nothing more than ordinary
ice In the form Of fine crystals, which,
of course, on further warming melt at
zero degrees centigrade.
Experiments on Ice III. show that It
is impossible to obtain 1t by separa-
tion from water at atmospheric pres
sure and then suddenly cooling. There
would never be a possibility Of this
unstable form of solid water being
formed in nature.-New York Tribune.

Provided For In Advance.

A playwright in an interview in New
York said that without attention to the
minutest details theatrical success
could rarely be attained.
And yet,7 he added, smiling, "even
this grand virtue of attention to de-
tails may be carried to excess. Thus a
certain playwright said at rehearsal
to his leading man: "a
"Now, remember, John, after you
speak this line, Helen, will save you
though PERISH" pause and wait for
the applause
"But the leading man sneered and
answered cynically:
"'How do you know there'll be any
applauseT

calm confidence" Washington Star.

1t may not be generally known that
Victor Hugo used to draft the atlver-
tisements of his own books, instead of
leaving the task to his publishers. His
correspondence with his Belgian pub
fishers gives the following example of
the great novelist's advertising style:
"After the middle ages, the present
time: Such is the subject Of Victor
Hugo's double study What he did
for Gothic art in 'Notre Dame de Paris
that he has done for the modern world
in Les Miserables.' The two books
figure in his scheme Of work as two
mirrors rejecting the whole human
life" An encouraging example to
those young authors who cannot make
up their minds how much modesty is
enjoined by the best literary tradi-
tions.-London Globe.

Use Short Words,

Literary aspirants should religiously
eschew polysyllabic photography. The
philosophical and pathological substruc-
ture Of this principle is inelQctable.
Excessively attenuated verbal SYM
bols inevitably induce unnecessary
complexity and consequently eXagger-
ate the obfuscation Of the mentality Of
the peruser Conversely, expressions
which are reduced to the furthermost
minimum of simplification and COM
pactness, besides contributing realistic
verisimilitude, constitute much less
onerous handicap to the readers per-
spicacity.
Observe, for instance, the unmistak-
able and inescapable expressiveness Of
onomatopoetic, interjectional, mono
syllable utterances, especially when
motivated under strenuous emotional
circumstances. How much more ap-
pealing is their euphonious pulchritude
than the preposterous and pretentious
pomposity Of elongated verbiage.-Life.

A Shock For Tennyson.

If any one asked Holman Hunt
about persons he would tell delightful
frank anecdotes concerning, maybe,
the great men he knew and loved and
measured exactly. He liked spice Of
fun in everything, too, and his face
beamed as he described a walk with
Tennyson he had lately taken. They
heard footsteps behind, and the great
man frowned "How they dog us,
Hunt! How shall we escape them?
Just sit on the stile till they pass"
said the matter of fact artist. They
did so, and two lads in knickerbockers
marched by swinging their sticks and
not even turning their heads. Tenny-
son was chapfallen.

not think they know who am"
Very likely, my dear Telnyson, and
they would not even know IL you
told them!'-"Recollect of Holman

author has no personal experience.

had never seen that the critics busted
themselves in finding "keys" to "Vi-
