Daniel Fahrenheit.

In view of the abnormal weather
which we have had this summer we
think tribute of respect should be
paid to the memory Of Gabriel Daniel
Fahrenheit, who was born on Septem.
Der Is, either in 1876 or 1740, it is
hard to say which Before his day sew
eraI attempts had been made to meas
ure the heat level, not the heat, by
tubes containing oil of spirits of wine,
but it lay with bankrupt merchant
of Dantzig to show how the feat could
be successfully accomplished.
The first thermometers were made
with spirits of wine; but the ingeni-
Gus Gabriel soon adopted mercury as
his medium, and so it has remained
to this day His instruments speedily
became known throughout the world,
and though a more rational method of
graduation has since been adopted, the
popular mind still clings to the Fab
renheit scale. Our own Royal society
thought highly Of this humble .inven-
tor and acknowledged his genius by
making him one of its fellows. To the
transactions" of the society he con.
tributed several papers.-Pall Mall
Gazette.

He GETS AWAY WITH IT
Variety Actor Tackles Second Grave
digger in Hamlet and Steals
All the Laughs.

A company playing Hamlet" was
forced to find an actor to play the
Second Gravedigger on account of the
illness of the second comedian OF the
company. The only actor available
was variety performer, who had no
reverence for Shakespeare and no re-
spect for the traditions of the classic
drama. The Second Gravedigger was
a comedy part, and he knew that he
could get away with it,"
When the First Gravedigger threw
off the first waistcoat, revealing an"
other underneath, the audience tit
tered. The removal Of the second
waistcoat brought a loud laugh, and
the third produced a roar. The First
Gravedigger was delighted. He had
never played to such an appreciative
audience, and visions of good notices
in the papers and possible increase
in salary began to loom UP before his
eyes. AS he threw off the fourth
waistcoat he turned partly around,
and the cause Of the unusual hit was
disclosed to him.
The Second Gravedigger, being ac-
customed to build laughs on lines and
business of other actors, saw his OPP
portunity and seized it. AS fast as
the First Gravedigger would throw
the waistcoats on the ground. the
variety comedian would pick them up
and put them on. The new business
was much funnier to the audience
than the old, with which 1t was thor
oughly familiar.
Not content with having stolen the
laughs from the regular comedian in
this scene, the new man went fur
Their. When the First Gravedigger
said to him, go, get thee to Yaugh-
an; fetch me a stoup of liquor" Ito
which there is no reply In the text,
the assistant sexton replied:
Vaughan told me to tell you that
you couldn't have any more liquor
from him till you paid for the last you
got."-The BOokman.

When Friendship Counts.

The doors of the deformed man are
always locked, and the key is on the
outside. He may have treasures OF
charm inside, but they will never be
revealed unless the person outside CO.
operates with him in unlocking the
door, A friend becomes, to much
greater degree than with the ordinary
man, the indispensable means of dis
covering ones own personality. One
only exists, SO to speak, with friends.
1t is easy to see how hopelessly such
a sensitiveness incapacitates man
for business, professional or social
life, where the hasty and superficial
impression is everything, and disas-
ter is the fate of the man who has
not all the treasures Of his personal
ity in the front window where they
can be readily inspected and APP
praised-From the September At
lantic.
