MISS THE LIGHT AND NOISE
Reasons Why Some Townspeople Are
Unable to Live Comfortably in
the Country.

The necessity which some people
feel for noisy surroundings was men
toned by a famous specialist in Civ
ing medical explanation of the case
of little Horace Collins, the heroic
messenger boy, says the London Daily
Mail. The lad, although able to graft
fy every wish as the guest. of Lord
Lansdowne at Bowood house, has
mastering longing for the hustle and
light of the London streets.
1T is very clear case of nostalgia"
said the doctor. "a person suffering
like that has lost two everyday friends,
as 1t were-noise and light. 1t is en-
tirely due to the nerves. Our nervous
system gets into a pronounced groove
in accordance with the everyday con-
dition under which we live. A sud
den change in living throws the nerv-
GUS system out of gear. Both light
and noise are nervous stimuli to peo-
pie who live amid noise and light
Take away the oomradeship of no
and light, and the nervous system
loses two stimulants necessary to its
well being and suffers in consequence.
With the boy Collins the fact that
he does not see policemen troubles
him, because policemen to him have
become an important part of tho nat
ural scheme of things
"A very similar case occurred with
London housekeeper of mine. She
was sent away to the country, and
simply could not endure to live there.
She missed the companionship Of
noise so much that she had to be
brought back to town again quickly.

A man out Kockport way has a lit.

chain. He proposes in the near future
to have "hunt" He will invite
"snortsmen" from Cleveland to come
out with their dogs, then he will turn
loose the little tame fox and send the
dogs after him. It is expected that
the dogs will catch the little tame fox
and tear him to pieces.
The hunt was scheduled to come off
some time ago. But the invited guests
with their trained hunting dogs failed
to arrive, and the dogs of the neigh
borhood-iust ordinary dogs-.were
pressed into service. For some rea-
son or other these uneducated CANNES

occasion, and could not bo induced to

his MOTHERS song.

Beneath the hot midsummer's sun
The men had marched all day,
And now beside ripping stream
Upon~the grass they lay.
Tired Of song and idle Jest,
AS swept the hours along,
They called to one, who mused apart,
Come, friend give us song"
81 fear l cannot please" he said;
'The only songs l konw
Are those my mother used to sing
For me-long years ago.
Sing one of those" a rought voice
cried,
There's none but true men here;
To every mothers son of us
A mothers songs are dear"
FNen sweetly rose the singers voice
Amid unwantoned calm,
sG' 7 a soldier of the cross,
follower of the Lamb?
s'7all fear to own His cause?"-
The very stream was stilled,
t-a rearts that never throbbed witt

~ tender thoughts were filled.
Tnded the song. The singer said,
As to his feet arose,
Thanks to you all, my friends, good
night,
God grant us sweet repose.7
Sing us one more" the captain
begged;
The soldier bent his head,
Then glancing around the smiling lips,
you'll join with me" he said.
''WeIl sing this old familiar air.
'All hail the power of Jesus namel
Let angels PROSTATE fall"
All! wondrous was the old tunes spell
AS on the singer sang,
Man after man fell into line
And loud the voices rang.
The song was done, the camp was still,
Naught but the stream was heard
But, an! the depths of every soul
By those old hymns are stirred;
And up up from many bearded lip
In whispers soft and low,

HISTORY OF THE PAfToMlME
Was First introduced to the English
Stage in 17o2-Has Always
Been Popular.

The first pantomime introduced to
the English stage was Tavern Blk
ers," and was by John Weaver. This
was in the year 1902. 1t was produced
at Drury Lane. The great institutor
of pantomime In England was, how
ever, John Rich, who devised this
form of entertainment in 1717. His
first emphatic success was in 1924,
when he produced THE Necroman.
Ger; or, History of DR.. Faustus. So
successful was Rich with his panto-
mime that Garriek, Quinn and others
became exasperated Rich lived tc
see pantomime firmly established at
Drury Lane and Coyent Garden. He
died in 1761.
Regarding the subjects of panto
mines the most popular theme this
year is, we are informed, cinderella"
with Babes in the Wood" second and
Dick Wilmington" third If the Lon.
don and suburban pantomimes are
taken alone Cinderella" viii again be
first. while Babes in the Wood" and
Aladdin" tie for second place. In
London and the provinces Cinderella"
has been chosen II times, Babes in
the Wood" l2 times and "Dick Whit
tington" ten times,
Looking back over the last IS
years we find that the most popular
subjects have been cinderella" :"
Aladdin" "Dick Wilmington" Rob
inson Crusoe." and Babes in the
Wood" in the order given.
