The Private Secretary.

Evidently "The Private Score.
tary" has once more caught the
public fancy, judging from the
way it was received on it's late
revival in New York, where it
broke all records at the Emp
Theatre. This laughable play
has long been acknowledged to
be one of the foremost OF the
high class American comedies.
The story is an intensely inter.
esting one, but at the same
time absolutely clean and pure.
The plot is not, in the main, an
improbable one. It is not made
up of incidents that are not i'm.
probable in themselves, indeed
most of them could very easily
occur in every day life, but they
are 80 uniquely grouped that
the effect is absolutely irresisti.

of comparatively natural situa-
tons but these, BY reason of
their relation to each other,

1t was in his capacity as editor Of

no little notoriety, enacted an unre-

no doubt about Whistler having ulti-

The notion. however, that he was

Gypsy Queens.

On occasions America treats its
gypsy monarchs with full regal pomp.
Matilda StanleySw was accorded an al
most royal funeral in 1878 at Dayton,
O., where, ten years later. another
queen was crowned with all proper
ceremonial. In England, too. gypsy
queens have received all due honor.
Esther Faa Blythe, who died in 1883,
had many members of the aristocracy
on her visiting list, and she, too, had a
regular coronation. But, on the whole,
the gypsy has not had very good
time in England. An act of 1892. for
example, made it a felony without
benefit of clergy to be merely seen for
a month in the society Of gypsies,
while for actually being gypsy no
punishment was too severe.-London

MICROSCOPIC MESSAGES.
How a Single Pigeon Might Carry a
Whole Library.

Whole Library.
For more than 1000 years carrier
pigeons have been used to carry mes
sages when no other means suff1ced,
and during the siege Of Paris, when
1868 birds were sent out from the doom
ed city, one Of the birds performed the
almost incredible feat of carrying to
the outside world on one trip no less
than 10000 messages averaging twenty
words each. This was 100000 words,
or the equivalent of five or six average
novels.
This marvel was accomplished by
means Of microscopic photography, the
messages being first printed with ordi-
nary type and then photographed and
Photographed until they had been
reduced several hundred diameters.
The final photographs were taken on
films or pellicles Of collodion, each Of
which, about two inches square, con-
tanned $4,000 words. A dozen Of these
films, rolled up in quill, weighed but
one twenty eighth Of an ounce. The
messages could, Of course, be read
with a microscope without the neces-
sity Of rephotographing and charging.
Under favorable conditions and for
comparatively short distances pigeons
have carried as much as three quar-
tiers Of an ounce. Using the photo re-
duction method, it would therefore be
possible for single bird to carry
messages equal in words to no fewer
than 12O ordinary volumes. -Harper's
Weekly.

Animal Life on Venus.

'.There are many physical reasons
for thinking that If any other planet
besides the earth is inhabited it is
probably Venus" says Professor Pick
ering. "It is about the same size as
the earth, and its density is about the
same. The force Of gravity upon its
surface is only slightly less than that
on the earth. The temperature on
Venus is probably the same as in our
own tropics, and the dense atmos-
phere may be Of composition such
as enveloped the earth when in the
carboniferous period. As to the ex-
istence Of intelligent life, the question
Is still OPEN If it is ever established
that the planet Venus is inhabited it
will be less surprising than If the same
were proved conclusively Of any other
planet, owing to the similarity in
many respects Of Venus and the
EARTH"

In reply to correspondent who says
he yearns to have his flowing beard
removed and yet lacks the Spartan
frmness of the early martyrs to face
the ordeal and makes a pathetic APP
peal for advice the alfalfa editor of
the Emporia Gazette unfeelingly re-
marks:
1.-THE alfalfa editor can offer no adj
vice or encouragement to such trem-
bling soul. 1t seems probable that he
has worn his whiskers for many years.
1t is likely that he hasn't purchased "a
shave for quarter of century and
therefore is ignorant of the improve
ments in the art tonsorial which have
been achieved in recent years. It is
no longer like going through a slaugh-
ter house to an open grave to be shaw
ed by an expert barber. In fact, that
operation has been so shorn of it's ter
rors that many eminent citizens con-
slider it a pleasure to visit the barber.
It is no longer necessary to strap q
patient down in the chair before shaw
ing him; neither is it necessary to adj
minister anaesthetics to his whiskers.
'sThe man whose only reason for
wearing whiskers is the fact that he
fears the barber shop will gain little
sympathy. If he tries to explain that
he cannot shave himself without suf-
fering the agonies Of the all fired he
will gain less. Such excuses might
have had some force long ago, when
BARRIERS used hammers and cold CHS
