STAGE Snow,

In Personal "reminiscences Of Her.
ry Irving" Bran Stoker lets his read
ers into the secret of how the snow
scene in 1.-THE Corsican Brothers was
made so effective:
"All over the stage was a thick blan,
ket Of snow, white and glistening in
the winter sunrise-snow that lay so
thick that when the duelists, stripped
and armed, stood face to face they
each secured frmer foothold by
clearing 1t away. OF many wonderful
effects this snow was perhaps the
strongest and most impressive of real
ity The public could never imagine
how it was done 1t was salt-common
coarse salt-which was white in the
appointed light and elistened like real
snow. There We're tons Of it. A croWo
Of men stood ready in the wings with
little baggage trucks sucl as are now
used in the corridors of great hotels
silent with rubber wheels. On them
were great wide mouthed sacks full OF
salt When the signal came they rush
ed in on all sides, each to his appoint
ed spot. and tumbled out his load,
spreading it evenly with great wide
JIaded wooden shovels."

ORIGINAL of FaIstam.

Sir John Fastolf was the original OF
Shakespeare Falstaff and In his day
was continual butt for the jests OF
the town and borough Of Southwark
Though he had fought at Agincourt
when Jack Cade invaded the borough
he showed great cowardice. When
Cade was yet some way Off Fastolf
had armed and fortified his house and
garrisoned 1t with veterans of the
French wars On the arrival Of Cade
however, he withdrew his garrison and
fed to the Tower leaving his neigh
bors to the mercy Of the rebels. Fas
tolfs matrimonial adventures seem alst
to have been another source of unpop
ularity, for, having married widow
named Scrope, he seized her property
and kept his stepson out of his inheri
lance during his own lifetime.-Lon

A Riot of Ink.

Canon Nicholl used to tell how on
one occasion he had visited the famous
house Of the Thrales in that suburb
Of London where DR.. johnson was at
home. Johnson" said the canon In
recalling his visit, "had occupied two
rooms, and these were left as he last
used them The sight was an extraor-
binary one, for ink was splashed all
over the floor and even ON the walls.

dip his pen in ink and then shake it.

Tuninc Bells.

what a beautiful tone that bell
has" is often heard. There are few,
however, who know how q bell re
ceiyes it's joyful or solemn tones. Al
bells after they are cast and finished
must go through a process of tuning
he same as any other musical instru.
ment before they respond with clear,
true tone Every bell sounds i've
notes. which must blend together III
order to produce perfect harmony. The
tuning of q bell is done by means OF
shaving thin bits from various parts
Of the metal 1t is as easy for an Elk
pert bell tuner to put Il bell in tune
as If is for Il piano tuner to adjust his
instrument to perfect chords. At first
thought it would seem that a bell
would be ruined should 4 tuner shave
OF too much at the last tuning, or the
fifth sound. but such is not the cast
He would, however, be obliged to be
gin over, starting again with the first
tone and shaving the bell till it gave
forth it's harmonious sound al the fifth
tone-Scientific American.

The Crisis and the Error

Besides this, SolOmon's great enterprises,
palatial buildings, etc, brought the rev.
enue and glory TO his capital city, Jeru-
salem, and did not evenly distribute it
throughout the nation. Indeed, following
the custom Of other kings, wealth was
gathered largely from the enforced labor
Of his subjects, who were compelled to
labor at his capital for the common veal
without pay. They were drafted and put
under task-masters. In SOlOmOn's day
this was borne, though sometimes resent
fully, but when his son came to the throne
the northern tribes determined that they
would not acknowledge him as king unless
he gave them what might be termed q
bill Of rights-a Magma Charta
They sent to Egypt for one Of THEN
leaders, whom Solomon had exilcd for his
outspoken criticisms. Through him the
ten tribes had a general conference q
tribe leaders and informed Rehoboam thai
they were not satisfied with the way they
had been treated by King Solomon
Rehoboam and all realized that a crisis
IN the affairs Of the kingdom had come.
The matter was too weighty to be decided
hastily. He called for the secretaries of
the kingdom, his fathers councillors. ED
erly men, to know their advice. Their
recommendations were good. They rec
commended that he be a servant Of the
people; that instead of accommodating
wealth at the capital and being personally
great, he should serve the entire nation,
looking out for all of Its interests and for
werding the same-exactly what the ten
tribes desired
